Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of screw conveyors, and particularly to a multi-stage sealed screw conveyor suitable for materials in a high-requirement sealed environment. Background Art

[0002] A screw conveyor is a machine that uses a motor to drive a screw to rotate and push materials to achieve the purpose of conveying. It can convey materials horizontally, obliquely or vertically, and has the advantages of simple structure, small cross-sectional area, good sealing performance, convenient operation, easy maintenance, and convenient for enclosed transportation.

[0003] In the prior art, the screw conveyor generally realizes the simple sealing of the screw conveyor by installing a pedestal bearing to fix the screw bearing or filling packing. The utility model patents with publication numbers CN208560654U and CN211544932U disclose the above types of sealing methods. However, due to the low sealing performance of the above sealing methods, when conveying materials with high sealing and isolation requirements such as easily infected, toxic, flammable, and explosive materials, there is a risk of material leakage, which poses great harm to personnel and the environment.
