Abstract
Description
A strip-shaped plastic cooling and drying device Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of plastic granule technology, and in particular to a strip-shaped plastic cooling and drying device. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic pellets, also known as plastic granules, are raw materials for storing, transporting, and processing plastics in a semi-finished form. The production process of plastic pellets mainly includes: pretreatment, extrusion molding, cooling and solidification, granulation and vibration, and sorting. First, solid plastic needs to be processed into molten plastic of the required shape by heating and pressurizing, and then extruded through an extruder head. At this time, the molten plastic is generally in the form of strips. After passing through a cooling tank and air drying device, the strip plastic stabilizes its shape. Finally, it undergoes pelletizing and sorting processes to complete the production of plastic pellets.
[0003] The production of plastic granules involves multiple processes and requires the use of various equipment. After the plastic filaments extruded by the extruder are cooled and shaped in a water tank, their surface is covered with water stains. To meet the needs of subsequent processes such as pelletizing, they need to be dried. Currently, the commonly used method is air drying. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN215638476U, published on January 25, 2022, discloses an air drying device installed at the end of a water tank for soaking plastic filaments, in the field of plastic filament production equipment. The system includes a base plate, a support plate, a fan, a water tank, and an air plate. A base is welded to the upper side wall of the base plate. The top side wall of the support rod is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the support plate by bolts. The upper side wall of the base plate next to the base is fixedly connected to the support leg by fixing bolts. The base plate is fixedly connected to the fan by the support leg. An air cover is installed at the end of the telescopic pipe. A water tank is embedded in one side wall of the support plate, and an air plate is embedded in the other side wall of the support plate. The support plate has a support groove inside. A wire inlet groove is opened on the left side wall of the support plate, a wire outlet groove is opened on the right side wall of the support plate, an air groove is opened on the rear side wall of the support groove, and a water groove is opened on the front side wall of the support groove. A rotating rod is inserted inside the support plate, and a roller is sleeved on the rotating rod.
[0004] The above-mentioned system incorporates a water tank, a water storage tank, and a flow guide. During use, the water tank and the flow guide are interconnected, allowing water falling from the plastic filaments to flow directly into the water storage tank for storage. The bottom of the flow guide is designed with an inclined structure, which also prevents water accumulation. Simultaneously, through a fan, an air inlet pipe, an air plate, and an air trough, the fan's air inlet is connected to the connecting plate via the air inlet pipe, and the connecting plate is then engaged with the air trough on the carrying plate via the air plate. This allows the airflow in the carrying plate to flow back into the fan, accelerating fan cooling and improving drying efficiency.
[0005] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that although the application can blow away water stains on the plastic strip with a fan, the plastic strip is thin and has a small air-receiving area. Furthermore, since the plastic strip in this application is placed on a roller, the water stains may be blown to the bottom of the plastic strip, making it impossible to dry completely and affecting the performance. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This application provides a strip-shaped plastic cooling and drying device, which has the advantages of high drying efficiency and convenient use.
[0007] The strip-shaped plastic cooling and drying device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A strip-shaped plastic cooling and drying device includes a support frame and a cooling trough mounted on the support frame. The bottom of the cooling trough has a recessed water channel that is inclined downwards. A pressure roller is installed inside the water channel to press the extruded plastic strip into the water channel. A water pipe is installed at the upper end of the water channel, and a circulating water pump is installed at the lower end of the water channel and connected to the water pipe. An inlet roller and an outlet roller are respectively installed at the upper ends of the cooling trough. A fan is installed on the side of the outlet roller, and an arc-shaped air guide plate is installed below the fan. The arc-shaped air guide plate is located below the plastic strip and is inclined towards the outlet roller.
[0009] Preferably, the cooling tank is inclined, the inclination direction of the water flow channel is the same as that of the cooling tank, and the inclination angle of the water flow channel is greater than that of the cooling tank.
[0010] Preferably, there are multiple pressure rollers arranged along the length of the bottom of the water trough, and each pressure roller has an annular groove in the circumferential direction. The two ends of the central rod of the pressure roller are movably connected to the inner side of the water trough.
[0011] Preferably, the inner side of the water trough is provided with an "L"-shaped fixing groove, and the bending direction of the fixing groove is set towards the upper end of the water trough.
[0012] Preferably, the air outlet of the fan is inclined toward the outlet roller, and the arc-shaped air guide plate is a curved plate with one end larger than the other, with the smaller end of the arc-shaped air guide plate facing toward the outlet roller.
[0013] Preferably, a filter screen is provided on the inner side of the lower end of the water trough, and support plates are bent on both sides of the filter screen. The ends of the support plates are connected to the inner side of the lower end of the water trough, and the bottom of the filter screen is connected to the bottom of the water trough.
[0014] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0015] 1. This application features a cooling tank with a recessed water trough within it, designed at an angle. Combined with pressure rollers within the trough, the plastic strip is pressed down, and a water pipe at the top of the trough continuously cools it with water. This results in high cooling efficiency with low water consumption. Furthermore, a circulating water pump at the bottom of the trough ensures continuous use of cooling water, leading to water conservation. A fan is installed on the cooling tank, with an arc-shaped air guide plate below it. This guide plate directs airflow over a large area, effectively removing water stains from the plastic strip and improving drying efficiency. The application is also convenient to use.
[0016] 2. By setting the cooling trough to be inclined, and making the inclination angle of the water trough greater than that of the cooling trough, it is convenient for water to enter the water trough, ensuring the cooling of the plastic strip; by setting multiple pressure rollers and setting annular grooves on the pressure rollers, the stable conveying of the plastic strip is ensured; by setting fixing slots in the water trough, it is convenient to install and replace the pressure rollers, and at the same time, the bending direction of the fixing slots is set towards the upper end of the water trough to prevent the pressure rollers from loosening due to the movement of the plastic strip, thus ensuring the fixing effect of the pressure rollers.
[0017] 3. By setting an arc-shaped air guide plate at an angle, with the smaller end of the arc-shaped air guide plate facing the outlet roller, the air blown out by the fan can be guided in a certain direction, achieving large-area air blowing and improving the drying effect.
[0018] 4. By installing a filter screen at the lower end of the water trough, impurities can be filtered out, ensuring the circulation of cooling water. Support plates are installed by bending them on both sides of the filter screen, and the support plates are connected to the ends and bottom of the water trough for easy installation.
