Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plastic straw production equipment, and in particular relates to a straw cooling and temperature reduction device. Background Technology

[0002] The use of plastic straws is the result of the resonance between technology, consumption and commercial needs in the 20th century. Previously, straws made of natural materials (such as wheat straw) were easily damaged, and metal / glass straws were expensive and inconvenient. However, the development of petrochemicals promoted the maturity of plastic technology, and plastic straws solved the pain points of traditional materials with their advantages of being lightweight, shatterproof, low-cost and capable of rapid mass production.

[0003] During the production of plastic straws, the plastic straws extruded from the extruder are at a high temperature and need to be cooled and shaped to ensure the dimensional accuracy and shape stability of the plastic straws. Currently, the traditional water cooling method is to directly immerse the plastic straws in water for cooling. During the water cooling process, the front end of the plastic tube that has just been extruded is clamped, which prevents the external water pressure from being transmitted to the inner cavity of the tube. If the pressure inside and outside the plastic straw is unbalanced, the external water pressure will cause the tube wall to bear circumferential compressive stress. When this stress exceeds the critical buckling stress of the straw material at high temperature, it will cause the straw to buckle and become unstable, resulting in compression deformation. Utility Model Content

The outer periphery of the suction tube 6 is slidably connected to the inner ring of each sizing sleeve 24. It is provided with a threaded drain port 25, which can collect and recycle the water in the first cavity 22, reduce resource waste and environmental pollution, and reduce production costs. The box cover 27 can reduce water mist splashing and reduce production safety hazards. In this embodiment, the bottom of the box body 2 is an inclined structure.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the cooling assembly 3 includes a guide unit 31 and a water cooling unit 32. The guide unit 31 is installed inside the housing 2, and the water cooling unit 32 is installed on one side of the guide unit 31.

The sliders 312 are slidably connected to the slide rails 311, and the roller 313 can be moved according to the characteristics of the straw 6. It is fixed by the threaded connection of the fixing parts in the threaded hole 3122, which facilitates finding the best support and traction position, ensuring the stability of the running trajectory of the straw 6, ensuring the continuity of the cooling work, reducing manual labor, and improving work efficiency.

Multiple first connecting pipes 322 are installed on the distribution pipe 321, and these multiple first connecting pipes 322 are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the distribution pipe 321. Each first connecting pipe 322 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of a first annular pipe 323, and the inner ring of the first annular pipe 323 is located outside the suction tube 6. Multiple nozzles 3231 are provided on the inner ring of the first annular pipe 323, and these multiple nozzles 3231 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the inner ring of the first annular pipe 323. The first connecting frame 3232 is provided on both sides of the 23, and one side of each first connecting frame 3232 abuts against one side of the slide rail 311. The first connecting pipe 322 is a retractable threaded pipe. By setting the first connecting frame 3232 and the first connecting pipe 322, the position of the first annular pipe 323 can be adjusted to adapt to the cooling work of the straw 6 with different characteristics. The nozzle 3231 is a low-pressure atomizing nozzle in the prior art, model HBCY-ZB-I. It has a wide coverage area and produces droplets with a diameter of 60-80 micrometers, which is conducive to the uniform contact of water mist with the outer periphery of the straw 6 and will not damage the outer surface of the straw 6, thereby improving the uniformity of cooling and improving product quality.

[0026] like Figure 6As shown, the circulation component 4 includes a filter unit 41 and a water chiller 42. The upper end of the filter unit 41 is threaded to the drain outlet 25, and the lower end of the filter unit 41 is connected to the input end of the water chiller 42 through a pipeline. The output end of the water chiller 42 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connector 26. The circulation component 4 enables water resources to be reused, reducing water waste and environmental pollution, and lowering production costs. The water chiller 42 is a box-type water chiller in the prior art, model SCY-50WT.

[0027] like Figure 7 As shown, the filtration unit 41 includes multiple sets of filter boxes 411. The filter box 411 has a cylindrical structure and a screen 4111 in the middle. Both ends of the filter box 411 are threaded, and adjacent sets of filter boxes 411 are connected by threads. By setting multiple sets of detachable filter boxes 411 and placing filter elements of different mesh sizes in the filter boxes 411, the water accumulated in the box 2 can be filtered, improving the cleanliness of the water used, reducing contamination of the suction pipe 6, reducing clogging of the nozzle 3231, and the threaded connection makes it easy to replace the filter elements inside the filter box 411, thus improving product quality.

[0028] like Figure 8 As shown, the water blowing unit 5 includes a second connecting pipe 51, a second annular pipe 52, and a second connecting frame 53. The second connecting frame 53 is fixedly installed inside the second cavity 23. The second annular pipe 52 is fixedly installed on the second connecting frame 53, and multiple air holes 521 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the inner ring of the second annular pipe 52. The outer ring of the second annular pipe 52 is connected to one end of the second connecting pipe 51, and the outer ring of the second connecting pipe 51 is fixedly connected to one side of the housing 2. The other end of the second connecting pipe 51 is connected to the output end of the air source. By setting air holes 521 in the inner ring of the second annular pipe 52, and the axial position of the air holes 521 forms an angle with the axial position of the suction tube 6, the contact area between the gas and the suction tube 6 during the drying process is increased, thereby improving the drying efficiency.

[0029] The working process of a straw cooling device: First, the straw 6 enters the housing 2 through the sizing sleeve 24 at one end of the housing 2. In the first cavity 22, the outer periphery of the straw 6 is rolledly connected to the roller 313 in the guide unit 31. At the same time, the slider 312 on the slide rail 311 can adjust the position of the roller 313 to fit the straw 6. In the circulation assembly 4, the cooling water output from the water chiller 42 enters the distribution pipe 321 of the cooling assembly 3 through the connector 26, and then is distributed to each of the first annular pipes 323 through the first connecting pipe 322. Cooling water mist is sprayed from the nozzles 3231 on the inner ring of the first annular pipe 323 to the outer periphery of the straw 6 to achieve cooling. The first annular pipe 323 is held stable by abutting the slide rail 311 through the first connecting bracket 3232. After cooling, the water falls to the bottom of the housing 2 and flows into the filter unit 41 through the drain outlet 25. Multiple filter boxes 411 filter impurities through the internal filter element. The cooling water then flows back to the input end of the water chiller 42 to complete the circulation. Subsequently, the suction pipe 6 passes through the sizing sleeve 24 in the middle of the partition 21 and enters the second cavity 23. An external air source supplies air to the second annular pipe 52 fixed to the second connecting frame 53 through the second connecting pipe 51. The air holes 521 in the inner ring of the second annular pipe 52 blow air to the outside of the suction pipe 6 to remove surface moisture. Finally, the suction pipe 6 passes through the sizing sleeve 24 at the other end of the housing 2. During the process, the internal components can be inspected and maintained through the hinged cover 27 on the housing 2.
