Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of foamed plastics technology, and in particular relates to a cleaning and dehydration device for the production of plastic foamed granules. Background Technology

[0002] Foamed plastics are porous materials manufactured through a foaming process, primarily using resins such as polystyrene and polyurethane as the base material. The principle involves forming a microporous structure within the plastic through chemical, physical, or mechanical means, resulting in two types: open-cell and closed-cell. Chemical foaming relies on the decomposition of a foaming agent to generate gas, physical foaming is achieved through liquid vaporization, and mechanical foaming uses a gas mixing process. This material possesses low thermal conductivity, high cushioning, and sound insulation properties. Newer materials such as XPE / IXPE can also be vacuum thermoformed.

[0003] Existing plastic foam granules require cleaning after production, and dehydration after cleaning is particularly troublesome, time-consuming, and difficult to achieve good results. To avoid these issues, it is necessary to provide a cleaning and dehydration device for the production of plastic foam granules with better performance. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a cleaning and dehydration device for the production of plastic foam granules, aiming to solve the problem that existing plastic foam granules need to be cleaned after production, and in particular, the dehydration after cleaning is troublesome, time-consuming, and difficult to achieve good dehydration.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: a cleaning and dehydration device for producing plastic foam granules, including a dehydration component: an upper cover plate is provided above the dehydration component, a lower discharge component is provided at the bottom of the dehydration component, and a support column is provided at the bottom of the dehydration component.

[0006] The dehydration assembly includes an inner dehydration mechanism, and an outer dehydration cylinder mechanism is provided on the outer wall of the inner dehydration mechanism. Through the configuration of the dehydration assembly, in use, the inner dehydration mechanism and the outer dehydration cylinder mechanism work together to activate several industrial vibrators at the bottom of the outer cylinder, causing the outer cylinder to vibrate and drain water from inside the outer cylinder, removing most of the water and improving the drainage effect. When no more water droplets are discharged from the bottom of the outer cylinder, the powerful fan in the second side plate is activated and controlled to discharge external air into the inner cylinder and out through the exhaust hole. When passing through the plastic foam particles, the airflow not only carries away the residual moisture on the outer wall of the plastic foam particles, but also impacts the plastic foam particles, causing them to tumble and further dehydrate, improving the drainage and drying effect.

[0007] The internal dehydration mechanism includes a first side plate and a second side plate, with an inner cylinder inserted between the first side plate and the second side plate. The outer wall of the inner cylinder has an exhaust hole, and a powerful fan is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second side plate.

[0008] Preferably, the outer dehydration cylinder mechanism includes an outer cylinder, and several industrial vibrators are fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer cylinder;

[0009] The outer wall of the outer cylinder has several drainage holes.

[0010] Preferably, the inner walls of the first side plate and the second side plate are provided with two limiting grooves, and the two limiting grooves are respectively fitted and inserted into the outer ends of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the upper cover plate is an arc-shaped cover plate, and the outer wall of the upper cover plate is slidably connected to the outer wall of the outer cylinder.

[0012] Preferably, the lower discharge assembly includes a lower blocking plate, and a telescopic hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower blocking plate. By setting up the lower discharge assembly, the telescopic hydraulic cylinder can be started and controlled to retract the lower blocking plate and open the discharge chute to discharge materials, thereby improving the effectiveness of the device and providing convenience for the user.

[0013] Preferably, a vertical plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer cylinder, and the outer wall of the vertical plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the telescopic hydraulic cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, a feed chute is provided at the top of the outer cylinder, and a discharge chute is provided at the bottom of the outer cylinder;

[0015] The upper cover plate is positioned above the feed chute, and the lower block plate is positioned below the discharge chute.

[0016] Preferably, there are four support columns, and the support columns are composed of threaded rods and threaded cylinders connected to each other by threads, with a base fixedly connected to the bottom of each support column.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this application have the following main advantages:

[0018] With the dehydration components in place, the inner dehydration mechanism works in conjunction with the outer dehydration cylinder mechanism during use. Several industrial vibrators at the bottom of the outer cylinder are activated, causing the outer cylinder to vibrate and drain water from inside, removing most of the water and improving the drainage effect. Once no more water droplets are discharged from the bottom of the outer cylinder, the powerful fan in the second side plate is activated and controlled to draw external air into the inner cylinder and discharge it outward through the exhaust port. When the airflow passes over the plastic foam particles, it not only carries away the residual moisture on the outer wall of the plastic foam particles but also impacts the plastic foam particles, causing them to tumble and further dehydrate them, improving the drainage and drying effect.

[0019] By setting up the lower discharge assembly, the telescopic hydraulic cylinder is activated and controlled to retract the lower blocking plate and open the discharge chute for material discharge, thereby improving the efficiency of the device and providing convenience for users.

The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0028] This utility model embodiment provides a cleaning and dehydration device for producing plastic foam granules, including a dehydration component 2: an upper cover plate 4 is provided above the dehydration component 2, a lower discharge component 3 is provided at the bottom of the dehydration component 2, and a support column 5 is provided at the bottom of the dehydration component 2.

[0029] Among them, the dehydration component 2 includes an inner dehydration mechanism 201, and an outer dehydration cylinder mechanism 202 is provided on the outer wall of the inner dehydration mechanism 201;

[0030] The internal dehydration mechanism 201 includes a first side plate 2012 and a second side plate 2013. An inner cylinder 2011 is inserted between the first side plate 2012 and the second side plate 2013. An exhaust hole is opened on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 2011. A powerful fan 2014 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second side plate 2013.

[0031] The outer dehydration cylinder mechanism 202 includes an outer cylinder 2021, and several industrial vibrators 2022 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer cylinder 2021;

[0032] The outer wall of the outer cylinder 2021 has several drainage holes.

[0033] The inner walls of the first side plate 2012 and the second side plate 2013 have two limiting grooves, and the two limiting grooves are respectively fitted and inserted into the outer ends of the inner cylinder 2011 and the outer cylinder 2021.

[0034] The upper cover plate 4 is an arc-shaped cover plate, and the outer wall of the upper cover plate 4 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the outer cylinder 2021.

[0035] A vertical plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer cylinder 2021, and the outer wall of the vertical plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the telescopic hydraulic cylinder 302.

[0036] A feed chute is provided at the top of the outer cylinder 2021, and a discharge chute is provided at the bottom of the outer cylinder 2021;

[0037] There are four support columns 5, and each support column 5 is composed of a threaded rod and a threaded cylinder connected to each other by threads. The bottom of the support column 5 is fixedly connected to a base 1.

[0038] It should be noted that existing plastic foam granules require cleaning after production, and dehydration is particularly troublesome and time-consuming after cleaning, making it difficult to achieve good dehydration.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, the solution mainly utilizes the setup and coordinated use of the dewatering component 2, the upper cover plate 4, the lower discharge component 3, and the support column 5. First, the cleaned plastic foam granules are poured from the feed trough into the outer cylinder 2021. Then, the upper cover plate 4 is closed, and several industrial vibrators 2022 at the bottom of the outer cylinder 2021 are activated to vibrate the outer cylinder 2021, thereby vibrating and draining water from the inside of the outer cylinder 2021, improving the drainage effect. Once no more water droplets are discharged from the bottom of the outer cylinder 2021, then... The powerful fan 2014 in the second side plate 2013 is used for movement and control to exhaust external air into the inner cylinder 2011 and out through the exhaust hole. When the airflow passes through the plastic foam particles, it not only carries away the moisture remaining on the outer wall of the plastic foam particles, but also impacts the plastic foam particles, causing them to tumble and improve the drainage and drying effect. Finally, the telescopic hydraulic cylinder 302 is used for start-up and control to retract the lower blocking plate 301 and open the discharge chute for material discharge.

[0040] In this embodiment, through the setting of the dehydration component 2, during use, the inner dehydration mechanism 201 and the outer dehydration cylinder mechanism 202 work together to start several industrial vibrators 2022 at the bottom of the outer cylinder 2021, causing the outer cylinder 2021 to vibrate, thereby vibrating and draining the water inside the outer cylinder 2021, removing most of the water and improving the drainage effect. When no more water droplets are discharged from the bottom of the outer cylinder 2021, the powerful fan 2014 in the second side plate 2013 is started and controlled to discharge external air into the inner cylinder 2011 and discharge it outward through the exhaust hole. When passing through the plastic foam particles, the airflow not only carries out the water remaining on the outer wall of the plastic foam particles, but also impacts the plastic foam particles, causing them to tumble and further dehydrate, improving the drainage and drying effect.

[0042] The upper cover plate 4 is located above the feed chute, and the lower block plate 301 is located below the discharge chute.
