Definitions

  • the invention relates to a granulating device for separating plastic fiber strands in pellets with a strand feeder and a cutting rotor according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such granulating are in Strand pelletizers used in which a plastic in molten State from nozzles is pressed into strands, which are initially in a supply channel be cooled to the extent that they have no sticky surface, and then be fed by means of a strand feeding a granulator.
  • a cylindrical cutting rotor rotates with high speed, which is equipped on its outer surface with Schneidmessem and separates the plastic fiber strands into pellets.
  • Such pellets can then as Plastic granules are provided for further processing steps.
  • the heart of such a granulator is the cutting rotor with his knives.
  • These knives are distributed around the circumference of the rotor shell and can be mechanical or pneumatic or hydromechanical or electromechanical be clamped with their foot portions in grooves in the rotor body.
  • cutting rotors are conceivable in which preferably carbide knives are soldered in the grooves of the rotor body, however, have such Solutions have the disadvantage that the blades are not replaced without much effort can be.
  • the document EP 0 357 549 A1 discloses a cutting rotor with grooves in a Rotor body clamped knives known, the knives at least one Have concave clamping surface against which a cone screw is applied, the Axle parallel to the longitudinal direction of the knife, wherein the cone of the cone screw eccentrically abuts the clamping surface.
  • This known solution looks for a knife two against each other braced cone screws in front, with the one Cone screw in the axial direction from an edge of the knife from the knife clamped and the second cone screw from the opposite edge of the Knife this strained.
  • the knife in the axial direction on the Rotor mantle fixed and prestressed.
  • a Clamping sleeve with obvious multiple flattening of its outer contour (see Fig. 1) proposed).
  • a multi-flattened clamping sleeve is a complicated and thus expensive component, which also has correspondingly shaped recesses in the rotor body presupposes what constitutes a significant factory problem
  • the invention is based on the object, a simple structural measure to create, with the attachment of the highest possible number of Schneidmessem allowing easy replacement of cutting blades and their secure attachment in the rotor should be made possible.
  • This task will solved in that the clamping sleeve at its inner end an eccentric Approach as a locking device against rotation of the clamping sleeve having in an extension of the recess in the rotor body protrudes and engages with a recess-free area next to the opposite recess stands.
  • the operation of the locking device against rotation of the clamping sleeve is based so on two interrelated features, namely the design of the clamping sleeve with the eccentric approach and the Length of the recesses that allow the recording of the approach and prevent his twisting at the same time. This will ensure that when Screwing in a clamping sleeve spreading the grub screw, the clamping sleeve in held their position, so not rotated by the grub screw can ⁇ so that it spreads immediately when tightening the clamping sleeve, so that they can certainly exercise their detention function.
  • the recesses in the cutting blades and the recesses in the rotor body together in cross-section staggered circle segments.
  • This offset of the cross-sectional circle segments of the recesses against each other is minimal and ensures that not only a clamping effect in tangential direction acting on the cutting blade from the clamping sleeve, but also a radial component presses the knife onto the rotor.
  • the cross-sectional circle segment of the recess of the cutting blade radially outward of the cross-sectional circle segment of the recess of Rotor body offset. An offset in this direction causes the collet radially presses the knife into the groove of the rotor body, so no play between the groove bottom and the cutting blade is possible.
  • recesses are provided on each side of the blade, which with two corresponding clamping sleeves are engaged, which bear against the rotor body support.
  • the cutting blades with their foot in the grooves in the axial Direction at an acute angle less than 10 degrees, preferably between 3 and 6 degrees to the rotor axis of the cutting rotor on the rotor shell evenly arranged distributed in the rotor body.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that the pellets in the granulator are not cut off by the plastic fiber strands, but can be cut off.
  • the recess of the Cutting knife introduced on the cutting edge side.
  • the recess is the cutting blade of the clamping element, the Clamping sleeve, pressed on the groove surface of the rotor body, the cutting edge opposite.
  • a preferred material for the clamping sleeve is spring bronze. This material is not only highly elastic as the spring steel, but also allows a limited plastic deformation, so that the spring bronze easier on cross-sectional displacements and cross-section offset between the recess of the cutting blade and the recess in the rotor body can adjust.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a cutting rotor 1, as in a Granulating device of a first preferred embodiment of the invention is used.
  • the cutting rotor has a rotor body 5, which on its rotor shell surface 2 cutting blade 3 preferably carries hard metal plates.
  • the Hard metal plates have a cutting edge 7, which consists of the rotor shell protrudes.
  • a foot portion 22 of each insert is inserted in a groove 6, the parallel to the rotor axis 4 in the rotor body 5 of the rotor shell surface 2 from is incorporated.
  • the groove 6 has a sharp angle of attack ⁇ to the radial r of the Cutting rotor 1, so that the cutting blade a same angle can take as soon as it is fixed in the groove.
  • the circle segments of the cross sections of the recesses 12 of the rotor body 5 and the recesses 8 of the cutting blades 3 are radial in this embodiment offset against each other. Since this offset is only 0, 02 - 0, 2 millimeters, is he in the schematic diagram of Figure 1 not visible.
  • This offset is the Recess 8 in the cutting blade 3 radially outward of the recess 12 offset in the rotor body 5. This offset is when driving the slotted clamping sleeve in the clamping position of the foot area 22 of the Cutting knife 3 pressed on the groove bottom of the groove 6.
  • By arranging the Recess 8 on the cutting edge side 21 of the cutting blade 3 is achieved that the clamping element 11, the cutting blade simultaneously with a back 25th flat pressed against the groove side wall 26. This will be beneficial to the Cutting forces acting on the protruding cutting edge 7 of the cutting blade. 3 act, transmitted via the groove side wall 26 to the rotor body 5.
  • Both the recess 12 in the rotor body 5 and the recess 8 in the cutting blade 3 have smooth surfaces and are easy by milling or drilling producible.
  • the clamping surfaces on which the clamping sleeve acts completely free of thread-like notches, so that a material-weakening notch effect, in particular in the area of the rotor body 5 is avoided. Since the axial tension through the clamping sleeve no pressure in the axial direction or longitudinally exerted on the cutting blade 3, are the cutting blades are not in their longitudinal extent of the order of magnitude Fitting tolerance between groove 6 and cutting blade 3 bent or warped.
  • the clamping sleeve 11 To replace a cutting blade 3, the clamping sleeve 11 must from her Clamping position to be removed.
  • an internal thread in the clamping sleeve are provided.
  • the slotted clamping sleeve has an internal thread on. This internal thread tapers conically inwards, so that a cylindrical grub screw 17 with a hexagon socket 27 on her Clamping sleeve 11 can be screwed while the cylindrical outer contour the clamping sleeve expands, so that these form fit the rotor body 5 with the Cutting knife 3 connects via the recesses 8 and 12 in the radial direction and frictionally ensures that an axial displacement of the cutting blade. 3 relative to the rotor body 5 can not occur.
  • This second preferred Embodiment of the invention has over the first the advantage that the Clamping sleeve does not have to be pressed into the recesses 8 and 12, but it can be provided a push fit, which only by screwing the Grub screw 17 in the tapered from outside to inside thread the clamping sleeve 11 for a frictional connection between the rotor body. 5 and cutting blade 3 leads.
  • FIG. 2 also shows the schematic diagram of a cutting rotor 3 a Granulating device of a third preferred embodiment of the invention, which will now be explained in detail with the aid of FIGS. 3 to 6.
  • FIG. 3 shows a View of a cutting blade 3 of a granulator of the third Embodiment of the invention.
  • This cutting blade 3 has in the foot area 22nd on the cutting edge side 21 two recesses 8 and 9, which are parallel to Cutting edge 7 were introduced into the cutting blade 3.
  • This recess is clearly shown in profile in the side view of Figure 4 and forms in Cross section of a circle segment.
  • This circle segment is opposite the recess 12, which is shown in Figures 1 and 2, radially by 0, 02 to 0, 2 millimeters offset radially outwards relative to the recess 12.
  • Fig. 5 shows a cross section through a clamping sleeve 11 of a third Embodiment of the invention.
  • This clamping sleeve 11 has an internal thread 13th on, which is cylindrical from the outer edge 14 of the clamping sleeve inwards extends and in the end region 16 of the clamping sleeve merges into an inner cone 15.
  • a grub screw 17, as shown in Figure 6, stands with the Inner cone 15 by a cone lug 18 engaged as soon as Grub screw 17 is screwed into the internal thread 13 of the clamping sleeve 11.
  • this screwing the grub screw 17 into the clamping sleeve 11 is the Clamping sleeve 11 in the region of the inner cone 15 through the cone extension 18 of Grub screw 17 widened. This is the transition of an external thread 28 of the grub screw 17 to the cone extension 18 only subjected to pressure.
  • the clamping sleeve 11 by removing the grub screw and by screwing a puller quickly and safely replaced.
  • the second and third Embodiment have through the clear and predictable separation of functions of Grub screw and serving as a clamping element clamping sleeve a large Advantage and increased safety against breakage and misconduct compared with the solutions in the prior art. Since the grub screw the Figure 6 is not like a cone screw of the prior art to train is claimed, their dimensions can be kept extremely small, so that the recesses, in particular in the rotor body 5, relative to the State of the art can be reduced. Also this fact increases the Reliability of the granulating device according to the invention.
  • Fig. 7 shows a side view of a clamping element 10 with a Locking device 30 against rotation.
  • This locking device consists in this vorzugzugten embodiment of an eccentric 29, as a cylindrical Approach to the clamping sleeve 11 has been formed.
