Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a movable support device for a cooling water tank in a continuous extruder. Background Technology

[0002] Continuous extrusion presses utilize pressure and heat to plastically deform materials, thereby achieving continuous and efficient extrusion processing. During extrusion, the material is first heated to a suitable temperature, and then shaped under the powerful pressure of the extruder through a die. The resulting profiles are at very high temperatures and require cooling before quality inspection, cutting, and packaging.

[0003] Therefore, existing continuous extrusion presses are usually equipped with a cooling device to cool the shaped profiles. The cooling device typically includes a cooling water tank and a water circulation recovery tank. The cooling water tank is installed in the water circulation recovery tank and can extend outward relative to the water circulation recovery tank. The cooled water in the cooling water tank flows into the water circulation recovery tank.

[0004] During the course of work, the inventors discovered that there is usually a certain distance between the continuous extruder and the cooling equipment during installation. When the shaped profile is moved outward from the continuous extruder, the cooling water tank needs to be moved closer to the continuous extruder to receive the profile. However, when the cooling water tank extends into the continuous extruder, it lacks support, and the extended end sinks slightly, causing cooling water to overflow from the end of the cooling water tank. Therefore, to address the shortcomings of the prior art, a movable support device for the cooling water tank of a continuous extruder has been developed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a movable support device for the cooling water tank of a continuous extruder.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives of this utility model, the following technical solution is adopted:

[0007] A movable support device for a cooling water tank of a continuous extruder includes a vertical support member with a rolling element mounted at the bottom; a second roller placed on top of the vertical support member; and a height adjustment mechanism installed on the top side of the vertical support member and connected to the second roller for supporting and adjusting the height of the second roller.

[0008] Furthermore, the rolling element includes a base frame, which is installed at the bottom of the vertical support member, with a first roller installed at one end and rollers installed on both sides of the other end.

[0009] Furthermore, the first roller and the two rollers are arranged in a triangular pattern.

[0010] Furthermore, the top of the vertical support member is provided with a groove, and one side of the groove is provided with a movable groove; wherein, the groove is used to accommodate the second roller, and the movable groove provides the height adjustment mechanism with the space to move the second roller relative to the groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism includes a base with at least one vertical guide rod installed on it, and a slider slidably installed on each guide rod; a support plate connected to the side of each slider for supporting the rotational installation of the second roller; a support plate connected to the bottom surface of each slider, with a support sleeve installed at the bottom; and a screw that passes through the base, extends to insert the support sleeve, and is threadedly connected to the base.

[0012] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism in this invention also includes a limiting reinforcing rod, which is connected to the top of each guide rod.

[0013] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism in this utility model also includes a base plate, and both ends of the base are mounted to the vertical support member through the base plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism in this utility model also includes bolts, and the base is provided with a mounting groove for mounting the guide rod, and the guide rod is fixed to the mounting groove by bolts.

[0015] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism of this utility model also includes an operating component, which is installed at the end of the screw that extends downward relative to the base.

[0016] Furthermore, the height adjustment mechanism in this invention also includes a third shaft, through which the second roller is rotatably mounted on the support plate.

[0017] The present invention represents a significant advancement over the prior art:

[0018] This invention provides support for an extended cooling water tank, preventing the extended end from sagging and causing cooling water to overflow. The device is installed at the bottom of the extended end of the cooling water tank, and a height adjustment mechanism adjusts the second roller upwards to contact the bottom surface of the tank, thus providing vertical support. As the tank extends, the vertical support moves smoothly along the ground via rolling elements, ensuring consistent support. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments in this application. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1-4As shown, a movable support device 1 for a cooling water tank in a continuous extruder includes a vertical support member 11, a second roller 118, and a height adjustment mechanism. A rolling element is mounted on the bottom of the vertical support member 11. The second roller 118 is positioned on top of the vertical support member 11. The height adjustment mechanism is mounted on the top side of the vertical support member 11 and is connected to the second roller 118. The height adjustment mechanism is used to support and adjust the height of the second roller 118.

[0030] The height adjustment mechanism adjusts the height of the second roller 118, allowing it to effectively contact cooling water tanks at different installation heights. The second roller is connected to the bottom rollers of the cooling water tank, preventing damage to the bottom surface of the tank.

[0031] In some alternative embodiments, one structure for the rolling element is provided. For example... Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the rolling element includes a base frame 14. The base frame 14 is mounted on the bottom of the vertical support member 11. A first roller 12 is mounted on one end of the base frame 14, and rollers 15 are mounted on both sides of the other end.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the two ends of the first roller 12 are mounted on the base frame 14 via the first shaft 13, and the first roller 12 can rotate via the first shaft 13. Two rollers 15 are mounted on the base frame 14 via the second shaft 16, and the rollers 15 can rotate relative to the second shaft 16.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first roller 12 and the two rollers 15 are arranged in a triangular pattern. This facilitates the smooth movement of the vertical support member 11 along the ground.

[0034] It should be noted that, in order to prevent the first roller from touching the bottom surface of the vertical support member when it rotates, a notch 110 is provided on the side of the vertical support member 11 near the first roller. The notch 110 increases the spacing between the first roller and the vertical support member 11, so that the first roller will not touch the vertical support member when it rotates.

[0035] In some alternative embodiments, in order to provide space for the second roller to move relative to the vertical support, such as Figure 1 As shown, the top of the vertical support member 11 is provided with a groove 1101, and a moving groove 1102 is provided on one side of the groove 1101; wherein, the groove 1101 is used to receive the second roller 118, and the moving groove 1102 provides a moving space for the height adjustment mechanism to drive the second roller 118 to move relative to the groove 1101.

[0036] The movable groove 1102 allows the second roller 118 to move vertically without being blocked by the side of the vertical support member 11, which facilitates the height adjustment mechanism to drive the second roller to move relative to the side of the vertical support member.

[0037] The groove 1101 provides storage space for the second roller.

[0038] The groove 1101 and the movable groove 1102 facilitate the height adjustment mechanism to adjust the height of the second roller to adapt to cooling water tanks with different installation heights.

[0039] One type of vertical support structure can be a hollow square tube structure.

[0040] In some optional embodiments, a height adjustment mechanism is provided, comprising a base 17, a support plate 115, a support plate 112, and a screw 19. The base 17 is equipped with at least one vertical guide rod 110, and a slider 114 is slidably mounted on each guide rod 110. The support plate 115 is connected to the side of each slider 114 to support the rotational mounting of the second roller 118; the support plate 112 is connected to the bottom surface of each slider 114, and a support sleeve 111 is mounted on the bottom. The screw 19 passes through the base 17, extends to insert the support sleeve 111, and is threadedly connected to the base 17.

[0041] A rotating mounting structure for the second roller 118 and the support plate includes an additional third shaft 116, through which the second roller 118 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 115.

[0042] The support plate 115 and the slider 114 are connected. The bottom end of the slider 114 is connected to the support plate 112. The bottom surface of the support plate 112 is provided with a support sleeve 111, which is fitted onto the screw 19. The screw 19 can rotate relative to the support sleeve 111. The screw and the inner surface of the support sleeve are connected by a smooth rod. The screw 19 is threadedly connected to the base 17.

[0043] One way a screw works:

[0044] Lifting operation: When the screw is turned clockwise, the screw 19 extends upward relative to the base 17, the screw 19 pushes the support sleeve 111 to move upward, the support sleeve 111 pushes the support plate 112 to move upward, the support plate 112 pushes the slider 114 to slide upward along the guide rod 110, while the slider 114 drives the support plate 115 to move upward, and the support plate 115 drives the second roller 118 to move upward.

[0045] Lowering operation: When the screw is turned counterclockwise, the screw 19 extends downward relative to the base 17. Under the action of gravity, the support sleeve 111, the support plate 112, the slider 114, the support block 115 and the second roller 118 move downward with the screw 19.

[0046] Understandably, the screw and the base are connected by a thread, and a self-locking mechanism is achieved between them. The screw stably supports the support plate, keeping it at the adjusted height, which in turn keeps the second roller at the adjusted height, maintaining rolling contact with the bottom surface of the cooling water tank.

[0047] In some alternative embodiments, a limiting reinforcing rod 117 is added to prevent the slider from sliding off the guide rod. The limiting reinforcing rod 117 is connected to the top of each guide rod 110.

[0048] The number of guide rods 110 installed can be 1, 2, 3, or 4. When multiple guide rods are installed, the limiting reinforcing rod is connected to the multiple guide rods, so that the multiple guide rods are connected to form an integral structure. This facilitates the vertical stability support of the multiple guide rods and also prevents the slider from sliding up and detaching from the guide rods.

[0049] In some alternative embodiments, a base plate 113 is added to increase the lateral spacing between the base and the vertical support. Both ends of the base 17 are mounted to the vertical support 11 via the base plate 113. The base plate increases the connection stability between the base and the vertical support, and also ensures a certain spacing between them. It is understood that this spacing can be the thickness of the base plate.

[0050] In some alternative embodiments, a connection structure between the guide rod and the base is provided, with the addition of bolts 18. For example... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the base 17 is provided with a mounting groove 171 for mounting the guide rod 110, and the guide rod 110 is fixed to the mounting groove 171 by bolts 18.

[0051] Understandably, when multiple guide rods are installed, the base 17 has multiple mounting slots, and each mounting slot has one guide rod installed vertically.

[0052] Bolt 18 secures the guide rod to the mounting groove. Specifically, bolt 18 passes through the guide rod and is threaded onto the base. The bolted connection between the guide rod and the base allows for detachable installation. To separate the guide rod from the base, simply unscrew the bolt, allowing the guide rod to separate from the base. To fix the guide rod to the base, tighten the bolt, which will press and secure the guide rod within the mounting groove, resulting in a vertically fixed installation on the base.

[0053] Understandably, the bottom surface of the mounting slot is provided with a threaded hole (not shown in the figure), and the bolt passes through the guide rod and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole.

[0054] In some alternative embodiments, an operating element 119 is added for quick rotation of the screw when needed. The operating element 119 is mounted on the end of the screw 19 that extends downward relative to the base 17.

[0055] One possible structure for the operating component is a Phillips head knob. A Phillips head knob is easy to turn by hand, which in turn facilitates the rotation of the screw.

[0056] This utility model applies to a structure of a continuous extrusion press:

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, this utility model relates to a structure for a mobile support of a cooling water tank in an existing continuous extrusion press.

[0058] It should be noted that the cooling water tank 4 and the water circulation recovery tank 3 are existing and in use equipment. A baffle 2 is typically installed on the movable, protruding end face of the cooling water tank 4, and a short water receiving pipe 5 is provided on the bottom surface. The bottom end of the baffle 2 typically extends downwards relative to the bottom surface of the cooling water tank by a certain width. The cooling water tank 4 is installed in the water circulation recovery tank 3 and can be moved outwards from the water circulation recovery tank 3 when needed.

[0059] In use, the movable support device 1 of this utility model is placed between the baffle 2 and the water inlet pipe 5. Then, the second roller 118 is raised upwards to touch the bottom surface of the cooling water tank through the height adjustment mechanism.

[0060] When the cooling water tank 4 is extended, the water receiving short pipe 5 can push the vertical support member 11. The vertical support member 11 moves along the ground with the help of the rolling member. The vertical support member 11 drives the height adjustment mechanism and the second roller 118 to move with the cooling water tank.

[0061] When the cooling water tank 4 retracts, the part of the baffle 2 that extends to the bottom of the cooling water tank is as low as the vertical support member 11. At the same time, the vertical support member 11 moves with the cooling water tank and moves along the ground with the help of the rolling member, which in turn drives the height adjustment mechanism and the second roller 118 to move with the cooling water tank.

[0062] The mobile support device 1 of this utility model provides support for the cooling water tank, which can prevent the extended end of the cooling water tank from falling due to the increased length of the extended cooling water tank, thus preventing the cooling water in the cooling water tank from overflowing outwards through the end surface.

[0063] It should be noted that the existing baffle on the cooling water tank protrudes only slightly beyond the tank. When the cooling water tank retracts, the baffle cannot contact the vertical support. In this case, the staff can push the vertical support, which can then move with the cooling water tank using a rolling mechanism.

[0064] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
