Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of extruder waste recycling technology, and in particular to a waste collection mechanism for a vertical underwater pelletizer. Background Technology

[0002] In industries such as plastics processing, vertical underwater pelletizers are widely used as important pellet production equipment to process raw materials such as plastics into granular products. During the operation of vertical underwater pelletizers, a certain amount of waste is inevitably generated. If this waste is not collected and treated in a timely and effective manner, it will not only pollute the production environment but also lead to the waste of raw materials and increase production costs.

[0003] Traditional waste collection methods for vertical underwater pelletizers are often quite simple. Operators typically need to manually move the waste bin to the bottom of the discharge port to collect the waste. When the bin is overfilled, the operator needs to remove it, requiring manual intervention and interrupting continuous production, thus impacting capacity. Furthermore, manually moving the waste bin for unloading is labor-intensive and increases worker workload. It also poses safety hazards, as hot waste may splash during transport, causing burns or contaminating the workshop. Utility Model Content

[0004] To facilitate the control of waste bin movement, improve waste bin unloading efficiency, reduce operator labor intensity, and alleviate safety hazards that may occur during manual handling of waste bins, this application provides a waste collection mechanism for a vertical underwater pelletizer.

[0005] The waste collection mechanism for a vertical underwater pelletizer provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A waste collection mechanism for a vertical underwater pelletizer includes a frame, a base slidably mounted on the frame, a drive assembly for controlling the movement of the base on the frame, a tilting frame rotatably connected to the base, a rotating assembly for controlling the tilting frame to tilt on the base, a waste bin detachably mounted on the tilting frame, and a vibration assembly for vibrating the waste bin on the waste bin.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive component drives the base and waste bin to move on the frame, the rotation component controls the tilting frame to tilt, thereby causing the waste bin to tilt, the vibration component is used to vibrate the waste bin to facilitate uniform material distribution or easy feeding, the drive component drives the waste bin to move to the bottom of the extruder die to receive waste, when the waste is full, the operator controls the waste bin to move out of the bottom of the extruder, and then controls the tilting frame and waste bin to tilt through the rotation component to facilitate feeding. During the feeding process, the vibration component drives the waste bin to vibrate, which facilitates emptying the waste in the waste bin and reduces waste residue.

[0008] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a first pulley and a second pulley rotatably connected to the frame, a drive motor for driving the first pulley to rotate is provided on the frame, a belt is wound between the first pulley and the second pulley, and a connecting seat for connecting the belt is provided on the base.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive component uses a pulley and belt drive method. The first pulley is rotated by the drive motor, which in turn drives the belt and the base to move, so as to realize the horizontal movement of the waste bin, making it convenient for the operator to control the waste bin to enter or move out of the extruder.

[0010] Optionally, the rotating assembly includes an electric push rod hinged to the base, a crank fixedly connected to the tilting frame, and the moving part of the electric push rod hinged to the crank.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating component drives the tilting frame and waste bin to tilt through the cooperation of electric push rod and crank, which facilitates material unloading.

[0012] Optionally, a horizontally mounted support rod is installed on the flipping frame, and a mounting base for fixing the support rod is provided on the frame. The mounting base is provided with a slot for inserting the support rod, and a buffer pad is provided in the slot to buffer the vibration of the support rod. An end plate is provided at the end of the support rod to prevent the support rod from disengaging from the slot.

[0013] Multiple support rods are provided and connected by connecting plates. The waste bin is provided with hooks for cooperating with the support rods. A slide block is slidably provided on the waste bin. A baffle is provided on the slide block. The baffle can extend into the hooks and prevent the support rods from disengaging from the hooks. A control unit is provided on the waste bin for controlling the movement of the slide block.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the combination of support rods and hooks allows the waste bins to be easily hung on the tilting frame, while the design of the slide and baffle further prevents the waste bins from falling off during operation, improving the safety and reliability of the equipment. At the same time, the inclusion of buffer pads reduces the impact of vibration on the frame and support rods, extending the service life of the equipment.

[0015] Optionally, the control unit includes a screw rotatably connected to the waste bin, the screw passing through the slide and threadedly connected to the slide.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the control unit uses a threaded connection between a screw and a slide. Rotating the screw moves the slide, thereby controlling the insertion and removal of the baffle from the hook. When the baffle is inserted into the hook, it locks the support rod inside the hook, achieving a locking effect between the hook and the support rod. When the baffle is removed from the hook, it releases the locking effect on the support rod, facilitating the installation and removal of the waste bin.

[0017] Optionally, the vibration component is a vibration motor.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the vibration component uses a vibration motor, which vibrates the waste in the waste bin to ensure uniform distribution. The vibration motor has advantages such as high vibration frequency and adjustable amplitude, allowing vibration parameters to be adjusted according to different waste characteristics and collection needs, thus improving the effectiveness and efficiency of waste collection.

[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0020] 1. The drive assembly moves the waste bin to below the die of the extruder to receive waste. When the waste bin is full, the drive assembly controls the waste bin to move out of the extruder, making it convenient for the operator to empty the waste bin, reducing the operator's labor intensity, and also reducing the safety hazards that may occur during the manual handling of the waste bin.

[0021] 2. The rotating component controls the tilting frame to easily empty the waste bin, making operation simple and convenient and reducing the labor intensity of manual material emptying;

[0022] 3. The vibration component installed on the waste bin can make the waste evenly distributed in the waste bin, avoid uneven accumulation of waste, improve the collection effect, and also help the waste to be discharged smoothly in the subsequent processing. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0028] This application discloses a waste collection mechanism for a vertical underwater pelletizer. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The waste collection mechanism for a vertical underwater pelletizer includes a frame 1, which serves as the supporting foundation for the entire waste collection mechanism. Guide rails are fixedly connected to the frame 1, and a base 11 for mounting a waste bin 13 is slidably mounted on the frame 1 via the guide rails. A drive assembly 2 for moving the base 11 is provided on the frame 1. The drive assembly 2 can be a screw and nut mechanism, a sprocket and chain mechanism, or a direct cylinder drive. In this embodiment, the drive assembly 2 specifically includes a first pulley 22 and a second pulley 23 rotatably connected to the frame 1. A belt 24 is wound between the first pulley 22 and the second pulley 23. A connecting seat 21 for connecting the belt 24 is provided on the base 11. The connecting seat 21 has a slot for the belt 24 to pass through and a locking bolt for pressing the belt 24 against the slot wall.

[0029] A mounting bracket is provided on the frame 1, and a drive motor 25 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket. The output shaft of the drive motor 25 extends towards the first pulley 22 and is fixedly connected to the first pulley 22 coaxially via a coupling. When the drive motor 25 starts, it drives the first pulley 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the second pulley 23 to rotate via the belt 24. Since the base 11 is connected to the belt 24 via the connecting seat 21, the waste bin 13 and the base 11 can slide on the frame 1 as the belt 24 moves, thus facilitating the operator's control of the movement of the waste bin 13. Under normal conditions, the waste bin 13 is located below the die of the extruder to receive waste material. When the waste material is full, the operator controls the waste bin 13 to move out of the extruder, making it easy for the operator to empty the waste material in the waste bin 13. After the material is discharged, the operator controls the waste bin 13 to return to the bottom of the extruder.

[0030] A tilting frame 12 is rotatably connected to the base 11, and a waste bin 13 is mounted on the tilting frame 12. The tilting frame 12 can tilt relative to the base 11, and this tilting action is controlled by a rotating assembly 3 mounted on the base 11. The rotating assembly 3 includes an electric push rod 31 hinged to the base 11, and a crank 32 fixedly connected to the tilting frame 12. The moving part of the electric push rod 31 is hinged to the crank 32. When the moving part of the electric push rod 31 extends or retracts, it drives the crank 32 to move, thereby causing the tilting frame 12 to tilt relative to the base 11, realizing the adjustment of the angle of the tilting frame 12 to facilitate the unloading operation of the waste bin 13.

[0031] The waste bin 13 is detachably mounted on the tilting frame 12. To ensure the stable installation of the waste bin 13 on the tilting frame 12 and to facilitate the loading and unloading of the waste bin 13, a support rod 5 is horizontally mounted on the tilting frame 12. Multiple support rods 5 are provided and connected into an integral structure by connecting plates. The waste bin 13 is provided with hooks 55 for cooperating with the support rods 5. Through the cooperation of the hooks 55 and the support rods 5, the waste bin 13 can be initially hung on the tilting frame 12.

[0032] Meanwhile, a mounting base 51 for fixing the support rod 5 is provided on the frame 1, and the mounting base 51 is provided with a slot for inserting the support rod 5. A buffer pad 53 is provided in the slot to buffer the vibration of the support rod 5, reduce the impact of the waste bin 13 on the frame 1 and the support rod 5 itself during vibration, and extend the service life of the equipment. An end plate 54 is provided at the end of the support rod 5 to prevent the support rod 5 from slipping out of the slot and ensure the reliability of the installation of the waste bin 13.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3To prevent the waste bin 13 from detaching from the support rod 5 during movement and tilting, a slide block 56 is slidably mounted on the waste bin 13. A baffle 57 is mounted on the slide block 56, which can extend into the hook 55 and prevent the support rod 5 from disengaging from the hook 55. A control unit 58 is also provided on the waste bin 13 to control the movement of the slide block 56. The control unit 58 includes a screw 59 rotatably connected to the waste bin 13, which passes through the slide block 56 and is threadedly connected to it. When the screw 59 is rotated, the threaded connection between the screw 59 and the slide block 56 causes the slide block 56 to move along the direction of the screw 59, thereby causing the baffle 57 to extend into or retract from the hook 55, thus locking or unlocking the connection between the waste bin 13 and the support rod 5.

[0034] The waste bin 13 is equipped with a vibration component 4 for vibrating the waste bin 13. In this embodiment, the vibration component 4 is a vibration motor 41. When the vibration motor 41 is working, it can generate vibration, so that the waste in the waste bin 13 can be more evenly distributed, avoiding uneven accumulation of waste in the waste bin 13. It also helps the waste to be discharged smoothly in subsequent processing.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
