Abstract
Description
A plastic pellet cutting device Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a cutting device, and more particularly to a plastic granule cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] In the plastic pellet production industry, equipment changeovers or pellet size adjustments are common production needs during the cutting process. In traditional processing, when changing the cutting type or pellet size, manual adjustment of the relative positions of the cutting components and the die head is often required. Operators must repeatedly calibrate the distance and alignment accuracy between the rotary cutter and the die head. This manual adjustment is not only inefficient and prone to human error leading to unstable cutting accuracy and affecting the uniformity of the plastic pellet size, but it also requires equipment shutdown during the adjustment process, significantly reducing production continuity and increasing downtime losses and labor costs. Especially in production scenarios with frequent changes in multiple specifications, the lag and instability of traditional adjustment methods become increasingly prominent, failing to meet the requirements of automated production for efficiency, precision, and continuity. Summary of the Invention

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.
[0019] Example 1
[0020] A plastic granule cutting device, as shown in Figures 1-4, includes a main body 1, a protective door 2, an extruder 3, a die head 4, a slide 5, a transmission component 51, a slide table 511, a drive motor 52, a partition 521, a guide seat 53, a rotating shaft 54, a blade holder 55, and a rotary cutter 56. A control panel is installed on the front side of the main body 1, containing a control system and a data processing unit. These two units interact with the electrical components of the device via wiring to achieve intelligent control of the device's operation. The main body 1 has a processing cavity, and an operating opening is located on the upper front side of the main body 1. The protective door 2 is slidably mounted on the main body 1 via a sliding rail and a slider. When the protective door 2 is slidable, the slider moves smoothly within the sliding rail, thereby opening or closing the operating opening. This facilitates operation and allows for connection between the processing cavity inside the main body 1 and the external space during the processing stage. To reduce the impact of external factors on processing, a horizontal discharge channel 21 is opened on the lower front side of the main body 1. An extruder 3 is horizontally inserted and fixedly installed on the upper left side of the main body 1. The right end of the extruder 3 is tightly connected to the die head 4 by bolts. The die head 4 has several annularly distributed extrusion ports. The extruder 3 pushes the molten plastic to the die head 4 and extrudes it through the extrusion ports to form strip-shaped material. A partition 521 is fixedly installed in the processing cavity of the main body 1 by welding. The partition 521 divides the processing cavity into two spaces, namely the cutting cavity and the equipment installation cavity. The cutting cavity is connected to the discharge channel 21. The lower part of the cutting cavity of the main body 1 is provided with a guide surface that is inclined towards the discharge channel 21. The lowest end of the guide surface is connected to the inlet of the discharge channel 21. After the material is cut, it can slide down the guide surface to the discharge channel 21 under the action of gravity, realizing the smooth transportation of the material.
[0021] A slide block 5 is bolted and fixedly installed in the equipment mounting cavity of the main body 1. A slide table 511 is slidably mounted on the slide block 5 via a linear guide rail. A transmission component 51 is mounted on the upper part of the slide block 5. The transmission component 51 consists of a drive motor and a drive screw. The drive screw is threadedly connected to the slide table 511. When the drive motor drives the drive screw to rotate, the slide table 511 moves laterally left and right on the slide block 5 along the linear guide rail under the action of the threaded transmission, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the cutting part's position. A drive motor 52 is bolted and fixedly installed on the upper part of the slide table 511. Both the drive motor and the drive motor 52 are connected to the control system signal of the control console via cables. The output shaft of the drive motor 52 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 54 via a coupling. The rotating shaft 54 and the die head 4 are in a concentric position. The drive motor 52 drives the rotating shaft 54 to rotate. A guide seat 53 is fixed on the partition plate 521 by bolts. The rotating shaft 54 passes through the guide seat 53 laterally. The rotating shaft 54 and the guide seat 53 are in sliding and rotating contact through the bearing, which can ensure the stable rotation of the rotating shaft 54 and provide support and guidance. The end of the rotating shaft 54 is connected to the blade holder 55 by bolts. Multiple blade holders are arranged in a ring on the blade holder 55. A rotary cutter 56 is installed in the blade holder by bolts. When the rotating shaft 54 rotates, it drives the blade holder 55 and the rotary cutter 56 to rotate synchronously. The rotary cutter 56 corresponds to the extrusion port of the die head 4 and cuts the extruded strip material to form plastic granules of the required particle size.
[0022] Specifically, after the equipment is started, the operator sets the cutting parameters (such as particle size and cutting speed) through the control panel. The control system receives the instruction and activates the extruder 3. The extruder 3 pushes the molten plastic raw material to the die head 4. The plastic forms a uniform strip material through the annularly distributed extrusion nozzles on the die head 4. At the same time, the drive motor 52 drives the rotating shaft 54 to rotate at high speed, so that the cutter holder 55 and the rotary cutter 56 rotate synchronously to continuously cut the plastic strips extruded from the extrusion nozzles to form granular products.
[0023] When it is necessary to adjust the cutting particle size or perform a shape change operation, the control system triggers the transmission motor of the transmission component 51, driving the transmission screw to rotate, so that the slide table 511 moves precisely laterally on the slide block 5 along the linear guide rail. This action drives the drive motor 52, the rotating shaft 54 and the rotary cutter 56 to move as a whole, dynamically calibrating the relative position between the rotary cutter 56 and the die head 4 to ensure cutting accuracy. The cut plastic particles fall onto the inclined guide surface, and the particle material slides orderly along the inclined guide surface into the discharge channel 21. Throughout the process, the partition 521 divides the processing cavity into the cutting cavity and the equipment installation cavity, effectively isolating the cutting operation area from the electrical transmission components and improving the safety of equipment operation.
[0024] Example 2
[0025] Based on Embodiment 1, as shown in Figure 3, a distance sensor 57 is also included. The slide table 511 and the slide base 5 are both fixed with bolts to the opposite sides of the slide table 511. The two distance sensors 57 are on the same horizontal line and are arranged opposite each other. The distance sensors 57 are connected to the data processing unit of the control console via cables. When the slide table 511 moves horizontally on the slide base 5, the two distance sensors 57 monitor the change in distance between each other in real time and transmit the data to the data processing unit. By comparing with preset parameters, the actual displacement of the slide table 511 can be accurately determined, avoiding displacement deviations that may occur due to mechanical transmission and ensuring the accuracy of the position adjustment of the cutting parts.
[0026] As shown in Figures 1 and 6, the system also includes a material transfer frame 6, a conveyor belt 61, and rollers 63. The material transfer frame 6 is fixed to the lower part of the discharge channel 21 by bolts. The conveyor belt 61 is mounted on both ends of the material transfer frame 6 by rotating shafts. The conveyor belt 61 is connected to an external drive device. The rollers 63 are rotatably connected to the right side of the material transfer frame 6 by bearings. The outer circumference of the rollers 63 contacts the inner wall of the discharge channel 21. The cut material falls onto the conveyor belt in the material transfer frame 6 through the guide surface. The conveyor belt 61 rotates under the drive device, conveying the material to the right. The rollers 63 provide support and guidance, ensuring that the material transfer frame 6 moves stably when entering and exiting the discharge channel 21.
[0027] As shown in Figures 1, 4, and 5, the equipment also includes a receiving plate 7, a spring 71, a mounting bracket 72, a swing motor 73, a swing arm 731, and a connecting rod 74. The receiving plate 7 is rotatably connected to the guide surface of the main body 1 via a pin. The rear end of the receiving plate 7 is rotatably connected to the main body 1. At least one spring 71 is symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the front part of the receiving plate 7. The two ends of the spring 71 are connected to the receiving plate 7 and the main body 1 via hooks. Under the support of the spring 71, the angle between the receiving plate 7 and the guide surface of the cutting cavity is consistent. The front end of the receiving plate 7 extends to the top of the discharge channel 21. The mounting bracket 72 is fixed to the side wall of the main body 1 by bolts. The swing motor 73 is fixed to the mounting bracket 72 by bolts. The output shaft of the swing motor 73 is connected to the swing arm 73 via a key. The end of the swing arm 731 is hinged to the connecting rod 74 via a pin. The other end of the connecting rod 74 is hinged to the bottom front side of the receiving plate 7 via a pin. When the oscillating motor 73 is running, it drives the swing arm 731 to rotate around the output shaft, which in turn pulls the front of the receiving plate 7 to swing up and down through the connecting rod 74. When the oscillating motor 73 drives the swing arm 731 to drive the connecting rod 74 to pull the front of the receiving plate 7 to swing up and down, the tilt angle of the receiving plate 7 changes regularly with the oscillation cycle. The combined effect of inertia and gravity guides the material to move forward continuously. The spring 71 provides buffer tension in real time during the oscillation process to maintain the stability of the oscillation rhythm, so that the material forms a continuous linear flow trajectory on the surface of the receiving plate 7. This eliminates the dead corners of material accumulation that may occur due to the static guiding surface. Especially when cutting high-viscosity plastic granules, the mechanical disturbance generated by the dynamic oscillation can effectively destroy the adhesion between materials. Combined with the tilt slope of the receiving plate 7, it realizes uninterrupted material transmission from the cutting cavity to the discharge channel.

Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
