Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulator technology, and in particular to a feeding mechanism for a granulator. Background Technology
[0002] A granulator is a device used to process raw materials (such as plastics, fertilizers, feed, medicines, etc.) into granular substances. It forms granules by heating, compressing or stirring the raw materials. It is usually used to improve the flowability of materials, facilitate storage and transportation, or improve their performance. The feeding mechanism is a key component of the granulator, and its main function is to accurately and stably feed the raw materials into the granulator for processing.
[0003] According to the published patent CN112476828B, this invention discloses a calendering granulator, including a first extrusion roller and a second extrusion roller mounted on a frame. The first extrusion roller has a plurality of first extrusion grooves evenly distributed on its roller surface, and forming rings are respectively provided on both end faces of the first extrusion roller. A discharge hole is provided on the forming ring and communicates with the first extrusion grooves. The second extrusion roller has a plurality of second extrusion grooves evenly distributed on its roller surface, and the two ends of the second extrusion grooves are sealed. A cutting mechanism is provided at the discharge hole of the forming ring, thereby enabling the calendering granulator to have a fast discharge speed, improving production efficiency, and eliminating the need for long-distance conveying and cooling, thus reducing the volume of the entire production device. However, the following problems still exist.
[0004] During the material conveying process, the open hopper structure of this device exposes the molten material directly to the air. This not only leads to heat loss but also causes localized solidification due to uneven temperature. These solidified blocks can damage the grooves on the extrusion rollers after entering them, thus increasing the cost of subsequent inspection and maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for a granulator.
[0006] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution: a feeding mechanism for a granulator, comprising a body, a limiting mechanism, and an auxiliary mechanism. The limiting mechanism is located inside the body, and the auxiliary mechanism is located on one side of the body. The body includes a base, with a support plate one fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the base, and a support plate two fixedly connected to the other side of the upper end of the base. A main body is installed between the support plate one and the support plate two. A roller core one is rotatably connected to the rear end of the main body, and a roller core two is rotatably connected to the front end of the main body. Drive motors for driving the roller core one and the roller core two to rotate are installed on the outer side of the support plate one. The support plate one is located to the left of the support plate two, and the main body is located inside the limiting mechanism.
[0007] Through the above technical solutions, support plate one and support plate two ensure the structural stability of the entire device, prevent damage or unstable operation caused by uneven force, and ensure the long-term reliability of the machine.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the limiting mechanism includes a housing that is slidably connected to the front and rear ends of the first support plate and the second support plate. A limiting plate is slidably connected between the housings. A groove is provided on each limiting plate. A spring is installed at the front and rear ends inside one side of the limiting plate. An inclined block is fixedly connected to the outside of each spring. A slider is fixedly connected to one side of each inclined block. The groove is located in the middle of the limiting plate. The spring is located on the side close to the second support plate. The inclined block is slidably connected inside the limiting plate. The slider is located inside the second support plate.
[0009] Through the above technical solution, the shell can not only protect the main body, but also provide good heat preservation, ensuring that the temperature of the material is kept within a certain range and avoiding the formation of local solidified blocks.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the auxiliary mechanism includes rectangular grooves formed at the upper and lower ends of the support plate 2, a baffle is slidably connected inside the rectangular groove, a handle is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle, and the rectangular groove is located outside the limiting plate.
[0011] Through the above technical solution, the baffle is operated by the handle, which can protect the limit plate to a certain extent and ensure that the limit plate will not be damaged by external factors during disassembly and installation.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0013] This utility model, through the setting of a limiting mechanism, allows the shell to wrap around the main body, effectively providing heat insulation. When the shell needs to be disassembled, the operator pulls the handle to open the baffle, then slides the slider inward. The slider drives the inclined block to slide together, gradually sliding the inclined block into the interior of the limiting plate. Then, the operator puts their other hand into the groove and pulls the limiting plate to one side to pull it out. Once both the upper and lower limiting plates are pulled out, the operator can disassemble the front and rear shells. When installation is required, the shell is inserted into the front and rear ends between support plate one and support plate two, respectively. Then, simply insert the limiting plate from one side of support plate two into its interior. The inclined block will be compressed and retract into the limiting plate until it slides into the shell. The spring will then extend again, allowing the inclined block to penetrate deeper into the shell, thereby limiting and fixing the front and rear shells. The entire operation process is convenient and quick, further improving the operator's work efficiency.
[0014] This invention, through the cooperation of the main body and auxiliary mechanisms, allows support plates one and two to support the entire device, preventing damage or unstable operation caused by uneven force, thus ensuring the long-term reliability of the machine. The baffle is operated by a handle, ensuring that the limit plate is not damaged by external factors during disassembly and installation, thereby extending the service life of the device and reducing maintenance costs.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0024] Example:
[0025] Please combine Figure 1-6The feeding mechanism for the granulator in this embodiment includes a body 1, a limiting mechanism 2, and an auxiliary mechanism 3. The limiting mechanism 2 is located inside the body 1, and the auxiliary mechanism 3 is located on one side of the body 1. The body 1 includes a base 11. A support plate 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end of the base 11, and a support plate 2 13 is fixedly connected to the other side of the upper end of the base 11. A main body 14 is installed between the support plate 12 and the support plate 2 13. A roller core 15 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the main body 14, and a roller core 2 16 is rotatably connected to the front end of the main body 14. A drive motor 17 for driving the roller core 15 and the roller core 2 16 to rotate is installed on the outer side of the support plate 12. The support plate 12 is located to the left of the support plate 2 13, and the main body 14 is located inside the limiting mechanism 2. The opposing rotation of the roller core 15 and the roller core 2 16 extrudes and transmits the material, thereby ensuring that the material is fully compressed and evenly distributed during the conveying process, thereby improving production efficiency and product consistency.
[0026] The limiting mechanism 2 includes a housing 21 slidably connected to the front and rear ends of a support plate 12 and a support plate 23. Each housing 21 is slidably connected to a limiting plate 22, and each limiting plate 22 has a groove 23. A spring 24 is installed at the front and rear ends of one side of the limiting plate 22. An inclined block 25 is fixedly connected to the outside of each spring 24. A slider 26 is fixedly connected to one side of each inclined block 25. The groove 23 is located in the middle of the limiting plate 22, the spring 24 is located on the side close to the support plate 23, the inclined block 25 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting plate 22, and the slider 26 is located inside the support plate 23. The spring 24 can help the inclined block 25 automatically return to the appropriate position when reinstalled, thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the housing 21 and further improving the actual effect.
[0027] The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes rectangular grooves 31 formed at the upper and lower ends of the support plate 21. A baffle 32 is slidably connected inside the rectangular groove 31. A handle 33 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 32. The rectangular groove 31 is located outside the limiting plate 22. The baffle 32 is operated by the handle 33, which can protect the limiting plate 22 from damage, thereby extending the service life of the device and reducing maintenance costs.
[0028] The implementation principle of the feeding mechanism for the granulator in this embodiment is as follows: The drive motor 17 is powered by an external power source, causing the first roller core 15 and the second roller core 16 to rotate in opposite directions, thereby extruding and transmitting the internal material. While the first roller core 15 and the second roller core 16 are running, the housing 21 provides insulation to prevent heat loss during the conveying of molten material, which could lead to uneven temperature distribution and the formation of locally solidified blocks. Support plates 12 and 23 support the entire device. When the housing 21 needs to be disassembled, the operator first pulls the handle 33 inside the rectangular groove 31. This opens the baffle 32, and then slides the slider 26 inward. The slider 26 then moves the inclined block 25 along with it, causing the inclined block 25 to gradually slide into the interior of the limiting plate 22. The operator then inserts their other hand into the groove 23 and pulls the limiting plate 22 to one side, thus pulling it out. Once both the upper and lower limiting plates 22 are pulled out, the housing 21 loses its limiting position, allowing the operator to remove the front and rear housings 21. For installation, the operator inserts the housing 21 into the front and rear ends between the support plate 12 and the support plate 23, respectively. At this point, the main body 14 is enclosed by the housing 21. The operator then only needs to remove the limiting plate 22... 2. Thus, one side of the support plate 21 is inserted into its interior, and the limiting plate 22 can limit the upper and lower ends of the housing 21. When the inclined block 25 contacts the support plate 21, the inclined block 25 will be squeezed and retract into the limiting plate 22 until the inclined block 25 slides into the limiting groove inside the housing 21. Then the spring 24 will extend again, allowing the inclined blocks 25 on both sides to penetrate into the limiting groove inside the housing 21, thereby limiting and fixing the front and rear ends of the housing 21, further ensuring the stability of the device during operation. Afterwards, the operator pulls the handle 33 to close the baffle 32 to protect the limiting plate 22. The whole operation process is convenient and quick, further improving the operator's work efficiency.

Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
