Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polystyrene production technology, and more specifically, it relates to a pelletizer for polystyrene preparation. Background Technology
[0002] Polystyrene is a polymer synthesized from styrene monomers through a free radical addition polymerization reaction. It is a colorless and odorless plastic material commonly used to make disposable containers and has a large market demand.
[0003] In the production of polystyrene raw materials, polystyrene is generally supported in granular form for easy transportation and measurement during use. A pelletizer is used to cut the polystyrene during this process. However, common pelletizers have relatively simple structures with fixed blades. In actual pelletizing, different sizes of pellets may be needed depending on the requirements. Simple pelletizers cannot automatically adjust these sizes, requiring workers to stop the machine and manually adjust the blades, which is cumbersome, makes it difficult to guarantee accuracy, and results in low efficiency. Furthermore, during pelletizing, the lumps of polystyrene material are placed inside the pelletizer. The lack of a fixed structure in simple pelletizers can cause the polystyrene material to shake when the blades come into contact with it, affecting pellet quality. Additionally, after cooling, polystyrene at room temperature is relatively hard. When it comes into contact with the blades, the surface of the material may crack due to pressure, affecting pellet quality and increasing the risk of blade wear, thus shortening the equipment's lifespan.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 A pelletizer for polystyrene preparation includes a workbench 1, a support frame 2 on the workbench 1, a cutter 3 on the support frame 2, a cutting blade 4 at the lower end of the cutter 3, multiple sets of cutting blades 4, a support frame 5 at the lower end of the cutter 3, a blade holder 6 slidably connected inside the support frame 5, the cutting blades 4 are mounted on the blade holder 6, drive push rods 7 at both ends of the support frame 5, and pressure sliders 8 at the side ends of the blade holder 6. Multiple sets of drive push rods 7 and pressure sliders 8 are provided, and they are set at different heights and cooperate with each other.
[0031] The lower end of the support frame 5 is provided with a limiting frame 9, the cutting blade 4 cooperates with the limiting frame 9, the limiting frame 9 is provided with a connecting slide rod 10, the outer end of the support frame 5 is provided with a connecting block 11, the connecting slide rod 10 and the connecting block 11 are slidably connected, the support frame 5 is provided with a pressure spring 12, the pressure spring 12 cooperates with the connecting block 11.
[0032] In this embodiment, the workbench 1 and support frame 2 cooperate to provide a support structure, the support frame 5 provides support capacity, and the cutter 4 is supported in conjunction with the cutter holder 6. The cutting machine 3 provides power to move the cutter 4 to perform pelletizing. When it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the cutter 4, it is not necessary to stop the machine and disassemble it. Instead, the drive push rod 7 is directly controlled to make each drive push rod 7 work independently. By controlling each drive push rod 7 to extend a specific distance, pressure is applied to the corresponding pressure slider 8. The pressure slider 8 moves the cutter holder 6, so that the corresponding cutter holder 6 moves the cutter 4 to the appropriate position, thereby making the spacing of the cutter 4 meet the production requirements.
[0033] More specifically, when the cutting machine 3 moves with the support frame 5, the connecting slide rod 10 and the connecting block 11 will cause the limiting frame 9 to descend together. The limiting frame 9 is located below the cutting blade 4 and will first contact the cutting blade 4 and the polystyrene material. As the support frame 5 descends, before the cutting blade 4 contacts the polystyrene, the limiting frame 9 will slide towards the support frame 5 through the cooperation of the connecting slide rod 10 and the connecting block 11, so that the pressure spring 12 is compressed and provides pressure. This allows the limiting frame 9 to apply pressure to the polystyrene, pressing the polystyrene down when the cutting blade 4 cuts the polystyrene, preventing it from shaking and ensuring stable cutting.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 5 As one embodiment of cutting heating: a fan 13 is provided at one end of the workbench 1, a heating box 14 is provided at one end of the fan 13, an electric heating wire 15 is provided in the heating box 14, one end of the heating box 14 is connected to the fan 13, and the other end is provided with an air guide pipe 16, which is matched with the support frame 5.
[0035] Specifically, the blower 13 provides negative pressure, causing external gas to flow into the heating box 14. The electric heating wire 15 provides heating, heating the airflow. The airflow is then guided by the air duct 16 to the cutting blade 4, heating the cutting blade 4 and raising the surface temperature of the cutting blade 4 for more efficient cutting.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As a further implementation of the air duct: the air duct 16 is provided with a flow guide branch pipe 17, and the inner ends of the limiting frame 9 are provided with a diversion pipe 18. The flow guide branch pipe 17 is connected to the diversion pipe 18. The diversion pipe 18 is provided with an air outlet 19. Multiple air outlets 19 are provided and are evenly distributed inside the diversion pipe 18.
[0037] Specifically, the airflow brought by the air duct 16 is guided by the guide branch pipe 17, so that the airflow is divided into two streams and enters the split pipe 18. The airflow is split again by the split pipe 18 and then sprayed out from the air outlet 19.
[0038] Please see Figure 5 As a further embodiment of the heating box: the upper inner wall of the heating box 14 is provided with a first diversion plate 20, and the lower inner wall of the heating box 14 is provided with a second diversion plate 21. Multiple sets of the first diversion plate 20 and the second diversion plate 21 are provided and are arranged in an alternating manner.
[0039] Specifically, the airflow is guided by the cooperation of the first guide plate 20 and the second guide plate 21, making the airflow flow in a tortuous manner, increasing the contact time between the gas and the electric heating wire 15 in the heating box 14, thereby improving heating efficiency.
[0040] Please see Figures 1-3 As a further embodiment of the support frame: a sliding groove 22 is provided on the side end of the support frame 5, and multiple sets of sliding grooves 22 are arranged at equal intervals, and the pressure slider 8 slides in cooperation with the sliding groove 22.
[0041] Specifically, the sliding groove 22 provides space to support the stable movement of the pressure-bearing slider 8.
[0042] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 As a further embodiment of the support frame: a support slide rod 23 is provided on the inner side of the support frame 5, and a sliding opening 24 is provided on the tool holder 6, which slides in cooperation with the support slide rod 23.
[0043] Specifically, the support slide 23 cooperates with the sliding port 24 to provide support and guidance, thereby making the movement of the tool holder 6 more stable.
[0044] Please see Figure 2 As a further embodiment of the connecting slide rod: the upper end of the connecting slide rod 10 is provided with a limiting head 25, which cooperates with the connecting block 11.
[0045] Specifically, the limiting head 25 provides a limiting structure, and when the connecting slide rod 10 moves downward, the connecting block 11 supports the limiting head 25, thereby providing a limiting structure to prevent the connecting slide rod 10 from separating from the connecting block 11.
[0046] Please see Figure 1 As a further implementation of the workbench: the workbench 1 is provided with a conveyor belt 26, which cooperates with the cutting machine 3.
[0047] Specifically, when the equipment is working, it is supported by the workbench 1, which allows the conveyor belt 26 to carry polystyrene material to move, facilitating cutting and granulation.
[0048] In summary, during the use or operation of the overall equipment:
[0049] When using the equipment, connect it to an external power source. The workbench 1 and support frame 2 work together to provide a support structure. The polystyrene material to be processed is placed on the conveyor belt 26, which carries the polystyrene material and moves it to facilitate pelletizing with the cutting equipment. The support frame 5 provides support and works with the blade holder 6 to support the cutting blades 4. The cutting machine 3 provides power to move the cutting blades 4 for pelletizing. In addition, the spacing of the cutting blades 4 can be adjusted according to production needs. The drive push rods 7 are controlled, and each drive push rod 7 works with the corresponding pressure slider 8 to push it a corresponding distance. The pressure slider 8 moves stably under the support of the sliding groove 22, moving the corresponding blade holder 6. The support slide rod 23 works with the sliding port 24 to support and guide the movement of the blade holder 6, making the movement of the blade holder 6 stable. Thus, the movement of the blade holder 6 moves multiple sets of cutting blades 4 to the appropriate position to form the appropriate spacing to meet the production and processing needs.
[0050] During pelletizing, as the cutting machine 3 moves with the support frame 5, the connecting slide rod 10 and the connecting block 11 work together to lower the limiting frame 9. The limiting head 25 provides a limiting structure, and the connecting block 11 supports the limiting head 25, thus preventing the connecting slide rod 10 from separating from the connecting block 11. The limiting frame 9 is located below the cutting blade 4. As the support frame 5 descends, it first contacts the cutting blade 4 and the polystyrene material. Before the cutting blade 4 contacts the polystyrene, the limiting frame 9 slides towards the support frame 5 through the connection of the connecting slide rod 10 and the connecting block 11, compressing the pressure spring 12 and applying pressure. This pressure allows the limiting frame 9 to hold the polystyrene in place while the cutting blade 4 cuts it, preventing wobbling and ensuring stable cutting. Simultaneously, before pelletizing, the fan 13 can be used for ventilation. The system provides negative pressure, allowing external gas to flow into the heating chamber 14. Heating is achieved through the electric heating wire 15, which heats the airflow. The first and second guide plates 20 and 21 work together to guide the airflow, causing it to flow in a tortuous manner and increasing the contact time between the gas and the electric heating wire 15 within the heating chamber 14, thus improving heating efficiency. The hot airflow is guided towards the pelletizing direction by the air duct 16. The airflow from the air duct 16 is further guided by the guide branch pipe 17, splitting the airflow into two streams that enter the split pipe 18. The split pipe 18 then further divides the airflow before it is ejected from the outlet 19 and blown towards the cutting blade 4, heating it and increasing its surface temperature for more efficient cutting. To prevent excessive influence of the hot airflow on the polystyrene material, heating can be performed before pelletizing, and the hot airflow can be stopped during cutting.

For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model.
