Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a strand cutter device. The method for cutting strand-like polymers into chips is generally to cool and solidify the molten polymer, pass it through a dehumidifier, cool and dehumidify it, and then take it back to a take-up device and cut the strand-like polymer into chips. The material is continuously fed between a pair of upper and lower take-up rollers, and then chipped by a cutter consisting of a fixed blade and a rotating blade.

An example of a conventional chipping device will be explained with reference to the drawings. 1 and 2 are a side view and a plan view of a conventional chipping device, in which a pair of upper take-up rollers 1A
and a lower take-up roller 1B, a cutter consisting of a rotary blade 3 and a fixed blade 4, and an upper supply roller 2A provided on the fixed blade 4, and the strand-shaped polymer 7 taken off by the take-off device is The material is introduced by the lower take-up rollers 1A and 1B, is corrected from upward floating by the upper supply roller 2A, and is fed forward along the fixed blade 4, and is cut into fine chips by the rotary blade 3 and the fixed blade 4. Cut off. However, in such a conventional device, the strand-like polymer 7 is not sufficiently held by the upper supply roller 2A and floats up just before being shredded by the rotary blade 3, resulting in miscuts and making it difficult to obtain uniform chips. It was hot. That is, since the strand-like polymer 7 is introduced by the upper and lower take-up rollers 1A and 1B and is pressed upward only by contact with the upper supply roller 2A, it is removed from the fixed blade 4 by the reaction force of the cutter 8 during shredding. It is not possible to uniformly suppress the floating of the polymer, and the strand-like polymer 7 floats apart as shown in FIG. The strand-like polymer 7 in such a state does not come into contact with the rotating blade 3 on the fixed blade 4, but comes into contact in a raised state, so it is difficult to cut to a uniform length, and strands with significant lifting are difficult to cut. The shaped polymer 7 often causes miscuts and breaks at bent portions, resulting in abnormal chips.

As a means to solve these drawbacks,
As seen in Publication No. 49-108163, there is a method in which a presser plate is provided on the fixed blade 4 to press it, but in the case of strand-like polymers, the strand-like polymers are heated in a cooling and solidifying device during operation. (This refers to a state in which the strands are entangled) and enter the chipping equipment, and pressing methods cannot immediately deal with this problem, which in turn causes problems such as sagging and discharge of the entire strand-like polymer. It has some defects. The present inventors completed the present invention as a result of various studies to improve the above defects. The chipping apparatus of the present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the drawings.

Figure 3 is a side view of the chipping device of the present invention;
The figure is also an enlarged side view of the supply roller section, where 1A is the upper take-up roller that applies a constant pressing force to the strand-like polymer 7 using the air force of an air cylinder or the spring force of a spring, and 1B is the lower roller. Also, 2A and 2B are upper and lower supply rollers that supply the strand-like polymer 7 to the cutter. Normally, the upper supply roller 2A is installed so that it can move up and down using its drive shaft 2c as a fulcrum. 3 is a rotary blade provided with a blade 8; 4 is a fixed blade; 5 is a learning plate that supports the strand-like polymer 7; 6 is a rotating blade that supports the strand-like polymer 7; This is a guide plate for supplying to the supply rollers 2A and 2B of the section.

Usually, after melt extrusion, the strand-shaped polymer 7 cooled and drawn out in the form of a strand is taken up by a pair of upper and lower take-up rollers 1A and 1B, and then supplied to upper and lower supply rollers 2A and 2B. The rotational circumferential speed ratio of the lower supply roller 2B and the upper and lower take-up rollers 1A and 1B is set to be greater than 1.0 times and smaller than 1.5 times, particularly 1.1 to 1.3, and the rotational circumferential speed ratio of the upper supply roller 2A and the lower supply roller 2B. By increasing the speed of the upper supply roller 2A, it is possible to obtain chips with a uniform chip length that is greater than 1.0 times and less than 1.25 times, particularly in the range of 1.01 to 1.15 times, and free from miscuts.

In addition, if the upper supply roller 2B is shifted and installed so that the upper part of the line connecting the centers of the upper and lower supply rollers 2A and 2B is tilted toward the rotary blade 3 within a range of 10 degrees, preferably 5 degrees, the strand-like polymer Lifting of the polymer is prevented, miscuts are eliminated, and sagging of the strand-like polymer is eliminated, allowing stable operation. Note that the upper supply roller 2A and the lower supply roller 2B have a structure in which the gap can be adjusted so that they do not come into contact with each other. The upper supply roller 2A moves up and down while being driven with the drive shaft 2C as a fulcrum depending on the state of the strand-like polymer 7, and immediately deals with the rigid noodles.

In the chipping device of the present invention, the strand-like polymer 7 is taken up by the upper and lower take-up rollers 1A and 1B, is prevented from protruding by the guide plate 6, moves on the learning board 5, passes through the upper and lower supply rollers 2A and 2B, It is guided to the contact point between the fixed blade 4 and the rotary blade 3 and is cut into chips.

As mentioned above, the device according to the present invention is provided with a pair of upper and lower take-up rollers 1A and 1B that rotate near the cutter mechanism consisting of the rotary blade 3 and the fixed blade 4, and
A pair of upper and lower supply rollers 2A, 2B are provided between the cutter mechanism and the take-up rollers 1A, 1B, and the lower take-up roller 1B and the upper supply roller 2 are provided.
A, the lower supply rollers 2B are each actively driven, and a stretching region larger than 1.0 times and smaller than 1.5 times is formed between the take-up rollers 1A, 1B and the lower supply roller 2B, and the upper and lower supply rollers 2
The upper supply roller 2A is installed so that the circumferential speed of the upper supply roller 2A is faster between A and 2B, and the upper supply roller is installed so that the upper side of the center line passing through the axes of the upper and lower supply rollers 2A and 2B is inclined toward the rotary blade 3 side. Since this apparatus is characterized in that the strand-shaped polymer chips are installed in a staggered manner, the following effects are achieved.

That is, in such an apparatus, the strand-like polymer 7
However, due to the action of the pair of upper and lower supply rollers provided in front of the fixed blade 4, especially the action of the upper supply roller 2A disposed offset, the strands are lifted up. Polymer 7
It is possible to moderately prevent lifting of the material and reduce miscuts.

In addition, midway cutting of the strand-like polymer 7 occurs most often before the final supply roller, but since the device of the present invention is further equipped with a pair of upper and lower take-up rollers before this roller, the supply can be easily cut even in such cases. There is no interruption, and since the strand-like polymer 7 entering the final supply roller is once stretched and fed, it does not move laterally and interfere with proper cutting.

As described above, the present invention, in an apparatus for shredding strand-like polymers into chips, allows stable cutting at all times by appropriately regulating the strand-like polymers during shredding, and eliminates miscuts.
This eliminates the sagging of the polymer strands, making stable operation possible, and greatly contributing to labor savings.

In particular, in the device of the present invention, the lower take-up roller 1B and the upper and lower supply rollers 2A, 2B are each actively driven, and the peripheral speed of the upper supply roller 2A is increased, so the strand is pressed downward. The presser foot becomes secure and mis-cuts are completely prevented.

Incidentally, as in the above embodiment, if a learning plate 5 is provided below the stretching area formed by the upper and lower take-up rollers and the upper and lower supply rollers, the strand-shaped polymer can be forcibly fed out when cutting the strand-shaped polymer midway. It is more suitable for
