Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a granulator, in particular to an online low-temperature granulator. Background Art

[0002] The low-temperature environmentally friendly granulator is a device specially designed for recycling and reusing plastic materials at a relatively low temperature. It can avoid high temperature from damaging the material properties and reduce the generation of harmful gases. During operation, the screw rotates to transport the plastic material. During the transportation process, the plastic material is heated and melted by friction. The plastic material is overheated before extrusion. After extrusion molding, the plastic particles are slowly formed, with low density and poor quality. The plastic material is fed by air flow and automatically sucked. However, the plastic material is soft and will accumulate at the feeding port. The uneven feeding is one of the reasons for the overheating of the plastic material before extrusion.

[0005] In this solution, the controller controls the operation of the internal cooling device according to the signal of the temperature sensor. The air outlet of the fan cools the discharge section of the barrel and pre-cools the plastic material in the discharge section of the barrel. After extrusion molding, the airflow formed by the fan cools the plastic particles again, and the shaping is fast to ensure product quality. The feeding roller actively pulls the plastic material, and the feeding head moves up and down to stuff the plastic material into the feeding port to ensure uniform feeding, stable friction heat generation, stable operation of the internal cooling device at intervals, coordinated and orderly, and stable product quality.

[0016] Preferably, the feeding bin is connected to a feeding seat, the feeding seat is arranged at an angle, and the material introduction device is installed on the feeding seat.

[0017] In this solution, the plastic material is pulled into the feeding port by the feeding roller, and the material introduction device is tilted with the feeding seat. The traction force on the plastic material is tilted downward, and it falls toward the feeding port. Even if the plugging material breaks the plastic material, the subsequent plastic material can continue to move toward the feeding port. The feeding seat is tilted against the feed bin, and the feed bin can effectively support the feeding seat.

[0018] Preferably, the feed port is inclined upward.

[0019] In this solution, the feed port is tilted upward to adapt to the tilted material introduction device, so that the distance from the feed roller to the feed port of the plastic material is short, and the plastic material can stably enter the feed port even if it is broken.

[0020] Preferably, the material introduction device further comprises a feeding wheel, and the feeding wheel is connected to the feeding roller and the cutting device.

[0021] In this solution, the waste edges generated by the cutting device are pulled by the feeding wheel and then by the feeding roller for online granulation.
