Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of thin film processing technology, specifically a cooling device for thermoplastic polyurethane thin film processing. Background Technology

[0002] Thermoplastic polyurethane film is a film material made of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. Thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer is an elastomer that combines the properties of rubber and plastic, and is produced by polymerization of diisocyanate, polyol, and chain extender. Cooling is one of the key steps in the processing of thermoplastic polyurethane film.

[0003] In existing technologies, cooling is generally performed on one side only. The heat transfer path of one-sided cooling is relatively long and the thermal resistance is relatively large, resulting in relatively low cooling efficiency. This is especially noticeable when the film thickness is thick or the production speed is fast, which may lead to uneven cooling of the film.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a cooling device for processing thermoplastic polyurethane films. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and address the issue that single-sided cooling typically results in a longer heat transfer path and higher thermal resistance, leading to relatively low cooling efficiency, which is particularly noticeable when the film thickness is thicker or the production speed is faster, potentially causing uneven film cooling.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A cooling device for processing thermoplastic polyurethane film according to this utility model includes a base plate, and a cooling mechanism is provided on the base plate. The cooling mechanism includes:

[0007] A cooling assembly includes a pair of upright plates fixed to a base plate, a top plate fixed to the top of the pair of upright plates, a pair of sliding grooves on the upright plates, a sliding block slidably connected in the sliding grooves, an L-shaped tube fixed to the side wall of the sliding block, a hollow roller fixed to the pair of L-shaped tubes, a set of through holes on the hollow roller, and a cold air conveying assembly for conveying cold air provided at the top of the base plate and the bottom of the top plate.

[0008] The tension adjustment assembly is set on a pair of L-shaped tubes for adjusting the film tension.

[0009] Preferably, the air delivery assembly includes a pair of air conditioners fixedly connected to the top of the base plate and the bottom of the top plate, respectively. The output end of the air conditioner is provided with a three-way pipe, and the other two ends of the three-way pipe are respectively slidably connected to one vertical end of a pair of L-shaped pipes.

[0010] Preferably, a first fixing block is fixed to the outer circular wall of both vertical ends of the three-way pipe, and a second fixing block is fixed to one vertical end of the L-shaped pipe. A first electric actuator is fixed to the bottom of the first fixing block, and the telescopic end of the first electric actuator is fixed to the top of the second fixing block.

[0011] Preferably, the tension adjustment assembly includes a pair of L-shaped tubes rotatably connected to a conical shell at one end, a set of support rods fixed to the conical shells, and a rotating roller rotatably connected between the opposite sidewalls of the pair of support rods via a first rotating shaft.

[0012] Preferably, a first concave block is fixedly connected to both the top of the base plate and the bottom of the top plate, and a second electric push rod is rotatably connected between the opposite sidewalls of the first concave block via a first rotating shaft.

[0013] Preferably, a second concave block is fixedly connected to the conical shell, and the telescopic end of the second electric actuator is rotatably connected between the opposite sidewalls of the second concave block via a second rotating shaft.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. The cooling device for processing thermoplastic polyurethane film of this utility model can simultaneously cool both ends of the film by conveying cold air through a pair of hollow rollers. This solves the problem of single-sided cooling in the prior art, which has a long heat transfer path and high thermal resistance, resulting in relatively low cooling efficiency. This is especially obvious when the film thickness is thick or the production speed is fast, which may lead to uneven film cooling.

[0016] 2. The cooling device for processing thermoplastic polyurethane film of this utility model allows for the adjustment of the angle of a pair of conical shells by a pair of second electric push rods, thereby enabling the position adjustment of a set of rotating rollers. This position adjustment of the rotating rollers allows the film to be tensioned according to its adaptability, ensuring that the film maintains consistent tension during processing and avoiding any impact on the processing.

[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a cooling device for processing thermoplastic polyurethane film includes a base plate 1, on which a cooling mechanism is provided. The cooling mechanism includes: a cooling assembly; a pair of upright plates 2 fixedly connected to the base plate 1; a top plate 3 fixedly connected to the top of the pair of upright plates 2; a pair of sliding grooves 4 opened on the upright plates 2; a sliding block 5 slidably connected in the sliding grooves 4; an L-shaped tube 6 fixedly connected to the side wall of the sliding block 5; a hollow roller 7 fixedly connected to the pair of L-shaped tubes 6; a set of through holes 8 opened on the hollow roller 7; a cold air conveying assembly for conveying cold air is provided at the top of the base plate 1 and the bottom of the top plate 3; and a tension adjustment assembly, which is provided on the pair of L-shaped tubes 6 for adjusting the film tension.

[0025] During operation, the cold air is conveyed through a pair of hollow rollers 7, which can cool both ends of the film at the same time. This solves the problem of single-sided cooling in the existing technology, which has a long heat transfer path and high thermal resistance, resulting in relatively low cooling efficiency. This is especially obvious when the film thickness is thick or the production speed is fast, which may lead to uneven film cooling.

[0026] The air delivery assembly includes a pair of air conditioners 9 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 and the bottom of the top plate 3 respectively. The output end of the air conditioner 9 is provided with a three-way pipe 10, and the other two ends of the three-way pipe 10 are respectively slidably connected to one vertical end of a pair of L-shaped pipes 6.

[0027] During operation, cold air is supplied to the three-way pipe 10 through the air cooler 9, and then the cold air is delivered to the hollow roller 7 through the L-shaped pipe 6 at the other two ends of the three-way pipe 10, and the film is cooled through the through hole 8.

[0028] The three-way pipe 10 has a first fixing block 11 fixed to the outer circular wall at both vertical ends, and the L-shaped pipe 6 has a second fixing block 12 fixed to one vertical end. The bottom of the first fixing block 11 is fixed to a first electric push rod 13, and the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 13 is fixed to the top of the second fixing block 12.

[0029] During operation, the first electric push rod 13 can drive the L-shaped tube 6 to rise and fall, thereby allowing the hollow roller 7 to be adjusted. This allows the spacing between a pair of hollow rollers 7 to be adjusted, enabling it to adapt to films of different thicknesses and improving its adaptability.

[0030] The tension adjustment assembly includes a pair of L-shaped tubes 6 rotatably connected to a conical shell 14 at one end in the lateral direction. A set of support rods 15 are fixedly connected to the conical shell 14. A rotating roller 16 is rotatably connected between the opposite side walls of the pair of support rods 15 through a first rotating shaft.

[0031] The top of the base plate 1 and the bottom of the top plate 3 are both fixedly connected to a first concave block 17, and a second electric push rod 18 is rotatably connected between the opposite side walls of the first concave block 17 via a first rotating shaft.

[0032] A second concave block 19 is fixedly connected to the conical shell 14, and the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 18 is rotatably connected between the opposite side walls of the second concave block 19 via a second rotating shaft.

[0033] During operation, the angle of the pair of conical shells 14 can be adjusted by the pair of second electric actuators 18, which in turn allows the position of a set of rotating rollers 16 to be adjusted. This adjustment of the position of the set of rotating rollers 16 allows the film to be tensioned according to its adaptability, ensuring that the film remains consistently tensioned during processing and avoiding any impact on the processing.

[0034] Working principle: By conveying cold air through a pair of hollow rollers 7, both ends of the film can be cooled simultaneously. This solves the problem of single-sided cooling in the existing technology, which has a longer heat transfer path and higher thermal resistance, resulting in relatively low cooling efficiency. This is especially noticeable when the film is thick or the production speed is fast, which may lead to uneven film cooling.

[0035] By supplying cold air into the three-way pipe 10 through the air cooler 9, the cold air can be transported to the hollow roller 7 through the L-shaped pipe 6 at the other two ends of the three-way pipe 10, and the film is cooled through the through hole 8.

[0036] By setting the first electric push rod 13, the L-shaped tube 6 can be driven to rise and fall, thereby enabling the hollow roller 7 to be adjusted. This allows the spacing between a pair of hollow rollers 7 to be adjusted, making it adaptable to films of different thicknesses and improving its adaptability.

[0037] By adjusting the angle of a pair of conical shells 14 by a pair of second electric actuators 18, the position of a set of rotating rollers 16 can be adjusted. This adjustment of the position of the set of rotating rollers 16 allows the film to be tensioned according to its adaptability, ensuring that the film remains consistently tensioned during processing and avoiding any impact on the processing.

Figure 1 Based on the perspective of the observer, the side of the device facing the observer is defined as the front, the left side of the observer is defined as the left, and so on.
