The grinding mechanism is improved by including a single screw cooperating with the grinding disc, and the addition of a feeding section, a force-applying compression and propulsion section, an anti-material-clamping rod travel section, a rotating blade that pushes the material into the narrow slit in the middle of the grinding disc, and a baffle to prevent the material from contacting the center of the moving disc. The screw structure is optimized to reduce friction and accumulation and increase feeding efficiency.
It achieves efficient crushing of thermoplastic waste elastomers/plastics, improves crushing efficiency and product fineness, reduces coarse powder content, and expands the applicable material range of the fine crusher.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention proposes a mill for elastomers / plastics with an improved grinding mechanism, relating to waste elastomers / plastics recycling machinery, especially the feeding screw mechanism that cooperates with the grinding disc in a waste elastomers / plastics shear mill, which falls under the category of machinery involved in the recycling of waste elastomers / plastics polymer materials. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, room-temperature fine crushing for recycling waste elastomer / plastic polymer materials currently only refers to the room-temperature fine crushing of thermosetting elastomers / plastics, such as thermosetting vulcanized waste rubber like waste tires, or the crushing of thermosetting phenolic resins. This type of room-temperature fine crushing operation is mainly carried out using a disc crusher. During implementation, the feed particle size is generally required to be in the range of 16 to 30 mesh. The material being crushed is also required to have good flowability when pushed and fed by the screw to facilitate feeding into the gap between the moving and stationary grinding discs.
[0003] In the existing technology, materials that are thermoplastic, have matchstick-shaped or film-shaped particles, or are difficult or extremely difficult to flow under the screw's pushing force cannot be smoothly processed in current disc crushers. The obstruction manifests as the material sticking to the screw, indicating that the problem lies in the mechanism between the feed screw and the grinding disc.
[0004] Furthermore, in existing technologies, even in what is considered the most successful example of a room-temperature fine crusher—that is, feeding pure waste tire coarse rubber powder through a 20-mesh sieve into the machine—the material, after passing through the machine once, yields a product with a particle size distribution of 40-200 mesh, commonly known in the industry as fine rubber powder. Of this product, less than 5% is finer than passing through a 100-mesh sieve, at least 15% is 40 mesh, and most of the material is around 60 mesh, with the next largest being around 80 mesh. Since this type of fine crusher appeared in my country in the early 1990s, it has mainly been used for the fine crushing of thermosetting waste vulcanized rubber. However, there is very little literature reporting on how to smoothly and efficiently feed thermoplastic materials or materials with poor flowability in the existing fine crusher's feeding mechanism into the machine for crushing.
[0005] The most extensive technical analysis of the existing disc crusher's feed screw, crushing disc, and its cooperating mechanism is found in Chinese patent CN102211049B. This patent provides a detailed analysis of the numerous defects in the currently used feed screw, crushing disc, and their cooperating mechanism, ultimately summarizing them as follows: "In the existing technology, room-temperature crushers for elastomers suffer from the following problems: the material is already significantly heated before entering the crushing disc, making it unable to crush thermoplastic elastomers; it cannot smoothly crush thermosetting elastomer materials with matchstick-shaped elongated particles or particles coarser than 16 mesh; it cannot handle difficult-to-flow materials that are not easily turned at right angles under the screw's pushing pressure; and the crushed material exiting the crushing disc has a high content of coarse powder."
[0006] The superior technical concept proposed in Chinese patent CN102211049B is "to propose an improved matching mechanism between the feed screw and the fine crushing disc suitable for an elastomer fine crusher". The improved matching mechanism can be specifically defined as "including:
[0007] A. Adjusting the fitting mechanism between the feed screw and the grinding disc to largely reduce or eliminate the accumulation space of the material to be crushed; the improvements also include:
[0008] B. Under the premise of ensuring sufficient feeding pressure, adjust the screw's own structure to reduce excessive high-pressure friction between the material and the inner wall of the screw conveyor, remove or reduce the heat generated by the material during the conveying process, so that the feeding screw has the function of forcefully and vertically turning and pushing the material to the grinding disc feed nozzle.
[0009] C. Improve the structure of the grinding disc feed nozzle to ensure not only smooth feeding but also that all coarse material travels a sufficient distance through the grinding disc's crushing zone, thus achieving the finest possible crushing.
[0010] The applicant in this case is one of the applicants for CN102211049B. Although the subordinate technical solutions specifically provided by the superior technical concept of CN102211049B have improved the crushing effect of elastomers, especially thermosetting vulcanized waste rubber, and are more ideal compared with the market products before CN102211049B; however, when the technical solutions / technical measures are used to test the more easily stuck heat-sensitive plastics, such as the mixed plastic film discharged from the recycling process of composite waste paper containing plastic film, even if the crusher grinding disc is not closed, the material cannot fall from the feed hopper into the conveying screw and be smoothly discharged by the feeding screw, let alone achieve or exceed the processing capacity of vulcanized rubber. This indicates that parts A and C of technical solution 1 in CN102211049B are completely ineffective in addressing the problem of mixed plastic film being prone to sticking to the screw and difficult to deliver; part B of technical solution 1 in CN102211049B also fails to solve the problem of mixed plastic film being able to be discharged at high flow rates like vulcanized rubber; this indicates that the screw described in CN102211049B still needs improvement. Summary of the Invention
[0011] The purpose of this invention is to address the deficiencies of existing technologies and, at least further than CN102211049B, propose an improved screw and grinding disc mating mechanism for a fine crusher of elastomers / plastics, so as to expand the range of applicable materials for the fine crusher and improve its operating efficiency.
[0012] The technical concept of this invention is to propose an improved grinding mechanism and integrate it into a grinding mill for elastomers / plastics. The key focus is on point B of the overarching technical concept proposed in Chinese Patent CN102211049B: "Under the premise of ensuring sufficient feeding pressure, adjust the screw's own structural settings to reduce excessive high-pressure friction between the material and the inner wall of the screw conveyor, remove or reduce the heat generated by the material during conveying, and enable the feeding screw to forcefully and vertically turn and push the material to the grinding disc feed nozzle." Specifically, point B of this technical concept does not consider that there is a difference in bulk density, up to ten times, between low-bulk-density elastomer / plastic coarse particles such as flakes / strips and high-bulk-density coarse particles such as granular waste tires (within the 16-30 mesh range). Furthermore, it optimizes the function of each section of the feeding screw in the grinding mill.

The product of the output W (kg) of the material passing through the "grinding mechanism" in one pass and the time T (h) is expressed as the ratio of the rated power P (kW) of the main motor driving the grinding disc shaft, which is: Wkg·Th / Pkw≥1.30kg·h / kW; and after the "benchmark" passes through the machine once, the obtained material contains at least particles that pass through a sieve of 10 mesh to no more than a sieve of 20 mesh, and the "particles" are in the form of silkworm-like strips;

Detailed Implementation
[0044] The following uses selected examples and accompanying examples. Figures 1 to 10 This further illustrates the content that conforms to the concept and technical solution of the present invention, but should not be regarded as a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0045] Example 1.
[0046] A mill for grinding elastomers / plastics with an improved grinding mechanism, characterized by the features described in Example 1-1 or / and Example 1-2:
[0047] Example 1-1. Regarding the grinding mechanism in question, when the feed material normally passes between the moving and stationary grinding discs of the "grinding mechanism," the "gap surface" is detailed in the appendix. Figures 1 to 6 As shown in Figure 3, waste plastic film and / or waste agricultural film from waste paper recycling industries, with a coarse particle size of passing through a 2-mesh sieve and a bulk density ≥0.06kg / L, are used as the standard. The product of the output W (kg) and time T (h) of the material passing through the "grinding mechanism" once is given by the ratio of the rated power P (kW) of the main motor driving the grinding disc shaft: Wkg·Th / Pkw ≥ 1.30kg·h / kW. Furthermore, after passing through the "standard" material once, the obtained material contains at least particles that pass through a 10-mesh sieve to a particle size not exceeding 20 mesh, and these particles are in the form of silkworm-like strips. (See attached figure.) Figure 9 The images show black and white photographs of waste plastic film discarded from recycled paper, specifically film / sheet form that has passed through a 2-mesh sieve and has a bulk density ≥0.06 kg / L. Similarly, waste agricultural mulch film with the same sieve mesh size and bulk density is also shown in black and white photographs. Figure 9 Similar, therefore omitted here, attached. Figure 10 It is a black and white photograph of the product particles obtained when the mill is feeding normally, using a "calibrator" to pass through the mill. The particles are non-straight strips shaped like silkworm larvae.
[0048] Example 1-2. The grinding mechanism involved can be constructed using a grinding mill equipped with "an improved screw and grinding disc mating mechanism" for use with room temperature elastomers / plastics, the specific features of which are shown in the appendix. Figures 1 to 6 As shown: A room-temperature elastomer / plastic mill, using a single screw 1 that can prevent material from sticking to the mill disc and achieve efficient feeding of the mill disc, in conjunction with the rotating mill disc—stationary mill disc 10 / moving mill disc 11; the "single screw 1" is as shown in the attached figure. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, or two feed screws 1 connected in series, as attached. Figure 5 and 6 As shown; "Single screw 1" is positioned between the outlet 2 of the grinding mill's feed bin and the dynamic / static plane 4 where shear grinding of the elastomer / plastic is performed, or between the center or eccentricity of the inlet ring of the slit surface 4 of the frustoconical grinding disc; the axis of the single or two connected feed screws 1 is perpendicular to the slit surface 4 of the dynamic / static plane grinding disc, or to the frustoconical grinding disc's platform surface 4; the "high-efficiency feed single screw 1" is characterized by at least one continuous helical tooth 9 extending along the axis, either individually or in series, starting from a section below the outlet 2 of the grinding mill's feed bin, with the helical tooth 9 only needing to rotate 1 to 2 times around the axis, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1 , 3The spiral tooth 9 rotates 2.0 times around its axis. Figure 2 The spiral tooth 9 rotates 1.0 turn around its axis. Figure 4 The number of rotations of the helical tooth 9 around the axis is 1.25, or 1.3.
[0049] As mentioned above, "at least one continuous spiral tooth 9 along the axis" means that equivalent settings are recognized, such as two or more spiral teeth 9 in the same direction or more discontinuous spirals along the uniaxial direction.
[0050] As mentioned earlier, the "range of 1 to 2 digits" has a significant number of digits n, which is 1. Following the "rounding rule" (rounding to the nearest even number), the following applies: a. When retaining n significant digits, if the (n+1)th digit is ≤ 4, discard it; b. When retaining n significant digits, if the (n+1)th digit is ≥ 6, then the nth digit is rounded up by 1; c. When retaining n significant digits, if the (n+1)th digit is 5 and the following digits are 0, then if the nth digit is even, discard the following digits; if the nth digit is odd, add 1; d. If the (n+1)th digit is 5 and there are no other non-zero digits following it, then add 1 regardless of whether the nth digit is odd or even. Therefore, the "range of 1 to 2 digits" essentially includes the range of 0.5 to 2.5 digits.

The head of rotary blade IV is close to the inlet of the slit surface between the moving / stationary grinding discs, with a minimum clearance of 1 mm. The horizontal height of the "working surface" of rotary blade IV should be at least half the height of the edge of the slit inlet between the moving / stationary grinding discs. The number of rotary blades IV is: 1, or any one of 2, 3, or 4 evenly distributed on the screw shaft. Figure 8 Two settings are shown in the diagram; the rest can be deduced similarly.
[0067] V—A baffle that prevents material from contacting the center of the moving disc. It is connected to the rotating blade IV that pushes material into the narrow slit between the moving and stationary grinding discs and the end of the feed screw shaft 5. The side of the baffle facing the moving grinding disc 11 is the end of the feed screw. Its characteristic is:
[0068] The baffle V is circular, and its diameter should have a gap of at least 0.5 mm compared with the diameter of the inlet ring of the moving grinding disc 11, or a gap of at least 0.5 mm compared with the diameter of the disc-shaped concave ring at the center of the moving grinding disc 11; the thickness of the circular baffle V should be at least 3 mm; the buffer gap between the side of the circular baffle V facing the moving grinding disc 11, which is the end face of the feed screw, and the disc-shaped concave ring at the center of the moving grinding disc should be at least 2 mm.
[0069] VI—Water-cooling channel mechanism for the screw center and / or screw tube jacket layer, characterized in that:
[0070] The water-cooling channel mechanism at the screw center involves connecting a thin inlet pipe to the inlet of a known rotary joint and installing it at the screw center. Water returning between the screw center and the thin inlet pipe is then discharged through the outlet of the rotary joint. (See attached diagram.) Figure 1 ;
[0071] OR / AND: Connecting the known inlet / outlet water valve to the water cooling channel of the screw tube jacket layer is common knowledge, and the attached diagram is omitted;
[0072] Example 2-2. For the single screw 1 used for feeding, at the very end in the direction of feeding, based on the assumption that the wear of the grinding discs 10 and 11 is zero, there should be at least a 2mm anti-collision buffer gap between the end of the screw and the center of rotation of the moving grinding disc 11.

[0079] The "grinding mechanism" described in Example 1 has the following uses:
[0080] Example 3-1. (See attached) Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the grinding mill for elastomers / plastics with flat or frustoconical toroidal surfaces is set on a horizontally mounted moving / stationary grinding disc.
[0081] Example 3-2. (See attached) Figure 5 , 6 As shown, an elastomer / plastic is ground on a rotating / stationary grinding disc with a flat or frustoconical toroidal surface.
[0082] Example 4.
[0083] The preferred value of the standard material described in Example 1, which is waste plastic film or / and waste agricultural film material discarded in the waste paper recycling industry with a bulk density of ≥0.06kg / L and a coarse sieve size of 2 mesh, is W·T / P ≥8.44kg·h / kw. The product of the output W (kg) and time T (h) of the material passing through the "grinding mechanism" in one pass is given by the ratio of the rated power P (kw) of the main motor driving the grinding disc shaft. For the origin of this value, please refer to part 2 of the "Beneficial effects of use, at least summarized" paragraph in the appendix of Example 2. After passing through the "standard material" once, the obtained material contains at least particles that pass through a sieve size of 10 mesh to no more than 20 mesh, and the "particles" are in the form of silkworm-like strips.
[0084] Example 5.
[0085] The "grinding mechanism" described in Example 1 can also be used to modify existing elastomer / plastic grinding machines that are equipped with screw and grinding disc mating mechanisms, so as to improve the range of applicable materials and the quality and production capacity of their products.
[0086] Example 6.
[0087] The "milling machine for an elastomer / plastic with an improved grinding mechanism" described in Example 1, as well as the "grinding mechanism", "single screw" component and the complete milling machine containing any of the features of technical solutions 1 to 4, can all be sold as independent products.

[0089] As can be further understood from the detailed description of the above embodiments, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0090] When the improved grinding mechanism proposed in this invention is used in an elastomer / plastic mill, low-bulk-density film / sheet waste plastic film, which cannot be processed by existing mills, can be processed into granules. The granules can be used downstream, as shown in Example 1 and Example 2, comparing examples 4 and 3 in the appendix. At the same time, this modified grinding mechanism proposed in this invention can also increase the powder output of hot vulcanized waste rubber, as shown in Example 2, comparing example 6 and example 1 in the appendix.
[0091] This invention proposes an improved grinding mechanism, the core of which includes: a feeding section I, a force-applying compression and propulsion section II, and an anti-material-clamping rod traveling section III; the improved auxiliary parts include: a rotating blade IV that pushes material into the narrow slit between the moving / stationary grinding discs, and a baffle V that prevents material from contacting the center of the moving disc. The core improvement of this invention's improved grinding mechanism is: the volume V conveyed by the helical teeth of the feeding section I, calculated as 1 rotation on the coaxial axis. I The theoretical volume V transported by the helical teeth of the compression propulsion section II is related to the applied force. II The ratio is V I / V II =1 to 10 / 1, which reflects the technical improvement, including consideration of the low bulk density factor of the feed, which provides a way to enable low bulk density materials such as plastic films to pass through the machine at a high flow rate like granular vulcanized rubber; also a core improvement is the anti-material gripping rod travel section III, which does not have helical teeth on the rotating shaft, and is further provided with a bare shaft with a gradually decreasing diameter, or / and a screw conveyor pipe inner wall with a gradually increasing diameter. This allows the material to be compressed only at the inlet, and then becomes looser as it moves forward, and is no longer subjected to excessive friction from ineffective or inefficient propulsion. The improved grinding mechanism proposed in this invention has the following auxiliary improvements: the rotating blade IV that pushes the material into the narrow slit between the moving / stationary grinding discs, and the baffle V that prevents the material from contacting the center of the moving disc. Unlike Chinese Patent CN102211049B, it does not need to emphasize the lubrication and softness of the material, which brings convenience to the simplification of manufacturing. These can all be seen in detail in Embodiment 2.
[0092] For any references to the figures not mentioned in the above embodiments, please refer back to paragraph
[0046] for the “…” Figures 1 to 8 Explanation of the numbering in the document.
[0093] The "mesh" used in this invention for sieve holes / filters and particle sieving complies with the Chinese standard GB / T5330-2003, "Industrial Metal Wire Woven Square Hole Screens".
[0094] Of course, those skilled in the art will also make many modifications and improvements to the technical solution of the present invention, but these equivalent changes and modifications that do not break through the overall framework of the technical solution of the present invention, and ultimately obtain the "high-efficiency feeding single screw" described in technical solution 1 of the present invention, should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
