[0002] The working principle of the ring die granulator is that the material which has been conditioned and stirred enters the rotating material basin through the feeding port, and due to the centrifugal force, the material is continuously thrown to the inner wall of the ring die to form a uniform annular material layer, and then the material layer is extruded by the strong extrusion of the two relatively rotating parts of the ring die and the compression roller, and then the material layer is extruded in a cylindrical shape from the ring die and cut into uniform length particles by the cutting knife, and then the particles are discharged outside the machine, thereby completing the entire granulation process.

[0003] In the above granulation process, the speed of the ring die affects the thickness of the material layer in the extrusion zone and the time of the material passing through the die hole, and further affects the output and particle quality of the granulator. When the linear speed of the ring die is high, the output efficiency is high, but the material layer in the extrusion zone is thin, the particles produced are soft, the axial material layer is unevenly distributed, and the length of the extruded particles is uneven; when the linear speed of the ring die is low, the material layer in the extrusion zone is thick, although the quality of the produced particles is good, but the output efficiency is not high.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application.

[0022] With reference to Figure 1 A feed processing ring die granulator device comprises a feeding worm 2, a conditioning cylinder 3 and a granulating cylinder 4 arranged on a frame 1. The feeding end of the feeding worm 2 is provided with a feed bin 12, the discharge end of the feeding worm 2 is communicated with the feeding end of the conditioning cylinder 3, and the discharge end of the conditioning cylinder 3 is communicated with the feeding end of the granulating cylinder 4. The feeding worm 2 is used to send the feed powder in the feed bin 12 into the conditioning cylinder 3. The conditioning cylinder 3 is a conditioning assembly of the ring die in the prior art, which is used for conditioning the feed powder. The conditioned feed powder enters the granulating cylinder 4 for granulation treatment.

[0023] The inside of the granulating cylinder 4 is provided with a coaxial ring die. The side wall of the ring die is provided with a material hole pointing to the axis. The inside of the ring die is provided with a compression roller 7 rotating relative to the ring die. The compression roller 7 is used to extrude the material layer of the side wall of the ring die, so that the material layer is extruded out of the material hole of the side wall of the ring die to form a material strip. The granulating cylinder 4 is fixedly provided with a cutting blade 10 outside the ring die. The cutting blade 10 is used to cut the material strip to obtain feed particles. The feed particles come out of the discharge port at the bottom of the granulating cylinder 4. In the present application, the ring die comprises a die sleeve 5 as the side wall and a centrifugal bottom plate 6 for sealing the bottom. The die sleeve 5 and the centrifugal bottom plate 6 are rotationally and sealingly connected.

[0024] When granulation is performed, the conditioned feed powder enters the inside of the ring die. The feed powder first contacts the centrifugal bottom plate 6. Under the rotating motion of the centrifugal bottom plate 6, the feed powder generates a centrifugal effect. The feed powder accumulates towards the edge of the centrifugal bottom plate 6 and extends towards the inner wall of the die sleeve 5, so that a material layer can be formed on the inner wall of the die sleeve 5. In the present application, since the rotating speed of the centrifugal bottom plate 6 is greater than the rotating speed of the die sleeve 5, the high-speed rotating centrifugal bottom plate 6 can accelerate the accumulation speed of the feed powder on the inner wall of the die sleeve 5, so that a relatively thick material layer is formed on the inner wall of the die sleeve 5. The die sleeve 5 can also rotate rapidly, which can improve the moving speed of the die sleeve 5 relative to the compression roller 7 and improve the granulation efficiency.

[0025] The above-mentioned granulating cylinder 4 is provided with a coaxial central rotating shaft 8. The upper end of the central rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected with a granulating motor 11. The lower part of the central rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected with the centrifugal bottom plate 6. The central rotating shaft 8 can drive the centrifugal bottom plate 6 to rotate.

[0026] In the present embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2The lower rotating sleeve of the center rotating shaft 8 is sleeved with an auxiliary gear 82. The bottom surface of the centrifugal bottom plate 6 is provided with an intermediate gear 61 which is rotationally connected to a fixed shaft 62 which is fixedly connected to the granulating cylinder 4. The inside of the granulating cylinder 4 is fixedly provided with a support frame 41 which is rotationally connected to the granulating cylinder 4. The upper part of the die sleeve 5 is rotationally connected to the support frame 41, and the lower part of the die sleeve 5 is fixedly connected with a gear ring 51. The auxiliary gear 82 and the gear ring 51 are respectively engaged with the center gear 61 which is located between the auxiliary gear 82 and the gear ring 51. The center rotating shaft 8 can drive the auxiliary gear 82 to rotate, and the auxiliary gear 82 can drive the gear ring 51 to rotate through the intermediate gear 61, thereby realizing the rotary motion of the die sleeve 5.

[0027] In the above process, the rotating direction of the centrifugal bottom plate 6 is opposite to that of the die sleeve 5. When the rotating directions of the centrifugal bottom plate 6 and the die sleeve 5 are opposite, the feed powder accumulated on the edge of the centrifugal bottom plate 6 is affected by the friction force in two directions, and the flowability of the feed powder is better, which is beneficial to extending to the inner wall of the die sleeve 5.

[0028] In this embodiment, the center rotating shaft 8 is fixedly sleeved with a rotating frame 81, and the rotating frame 81 is fixedly provided with a connecting shaft 71 on which the compression roller 7 is rotationally sleeved. Figure 3 The center rotating shaft 8 can drive the rotating frame 81 to rotate, and the rotating frame 81 can drive the compression roller 7 to rotate relative to the die sleeve 5 through the connecting shaft 71, thereby realizing the relative motion and extrusion of the compression roller 7 to the material layer on the inner wall of the die sleeve 5. The surface of the compression roller 7 in the present application is provided with a tooth shape, which facilitates the compression roller 7 to produce autorotation under the rotation of the rotating frame 81, and at the same time, the compression roller 7 can stably extrude the material layer on the inner wall of the die sleeve 5.

[0029] The bottom of the support frame 41 is fixedly provided with a cutting blade 10, and the support frame 41 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 81, so that the relative position between the compression roller 7 and the cutting blade 10 can be fixed. In the case that the rotating speed of the die sleeve 5 is unchanged, feed particles with uniform length can be obtained.

[0030] Further, the granulating cylinder 4 is provided below the ring die with a negative pressure pipe 14, the inside of the negative pressure pipe 14 is provided with an extension shaft 83, and the extension shaft 83 and the negative pressure pipe 14 are coaxially arranged with the center rotating shaft 8. The upper end of the extension shaft 83 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the center rotating shaft 8, and the lower end of the extension shaft 83 is provided with a negative pressure fan 15. The center rotating shaft 8 can drive the negative pressure fan 15 to rotate, so that negative pressure is generated in the inside of the negative pressure pipe 14. The side surface of the negative pressure pipe 14 is in communication with the outer space of the ring die, and the bottom of the negative pressure pipe 14 is in communication with the outside of the granulating cylinder 4. Through the negative pressure pipe 14, the exhaust of the inside of the granulating cylinder 4 can be accelerated, the discharge of water vapor and dust can be accelerated, the dust in the feed particle collecting device can be reduced, and the discharged dust can be absorbed by other collecting members.

[0031] In this embodiment, the upper part of the granulating cylinder 4 is provided with a feeding ring 9 coaxial with the centrifugal bottom plate 6. The feeding end of the feeding ring 9 is communicated with the discharging end of the conditioning cylinder 3 through a feeding pipe 13. The discharging end of the feeding ring 9 is provided with a feeding pipe 91 fixedly connected with the rotating frame 81. The feeding pipe 91 is rotatably connected with the feeding ring 9 through the annular bottom plate of the feeding ring 9. When the central rotating shaft 8 drives the feeding pipe 91 to rotate, the annular bottom plate of the feeding ring 9 can rotate relative to the feeding ring 9, so that the normal feeding of the feeding pipe 91 is maintained.

[0032] The working process of the feed processing ring die granulating equipment is as follows:

[0033] Preparation: Put the feed powder into the silo 12, and turn on the corresponding drive motors of the feeding screw 2, the conditioning cylinder 3 and the granulating motor 8.

[0034] The above-mentioned granulating motor 8 drives the centrifugal bottom plate 6, the rotating frame 81 and the auxiliary gear 82 to rotate. The auxiliary gear 82 drives the gear ring 51 to rotate through the intermediate gear 61, so as to realize the rotary motion of the die sleeve 5. At this time, the rotating direction of the centrifugal bottom plate 6 is opposite to that of the die sleeve 5.

[0035] Step one: the feeding screw 2 sends the feed powder in the silo 12 into the conditioning cylinder 3, and the conditioning cylinder 3 conditions the feed powder;

[0036] Step two: the conditioned feed powder enters the feeding ring 9, and enters the bottom of the ring die of the granulating cylinder 4 through the feeding pipe 91;

[0037] Step three: the feed powder contacts with the centrifugal bottom plate 6. Under the high-speed rotary motion of the centrifugal bottom plate 6, the feed powder generates a centrifugal effect, and the feed powder is quickly accumulated to the edge of the centrifugal bottom plate 6 and extends to the inner wall of the die sleeve 5, so that a relatively thick material layer is formed on the inner wall of the die sleeve 5;

[0038] At the same time, the rotating frame 81 drives the compression roller 7 to rotate relative to the die sleeve 5 through the connecting shaft 71, so as to realize the relative motion and extrusion of the compression roller 7 to the material layer on the inner wall of the die sleeve 5, so that the material layer is extruded from the side wall material hole of the ring die to form a material strip.

[0039] Step four: the die sleeve 5 rotates at high speed, the material strip forming efficiency is high, the cutting blade 10 cuts the material strip, and the feed granules are obtained, which are discharged from the discharging port at the bottom of the granulating cylinder 4.

[0040] The feed processing ring die granulating equipment in this embodiment is used for granulating feed powder. The side wall and the bottom plate of the ring die are respectively controlled to act. The bottom plate is used as a centrifugal part of the feed powder to realize the fast and sufficient wall sticking of the feed powder. The side wall is used as a control part of the granulation efficiency. The two parts can maintain the working efficiency at the same time, so as to realize the high efficiency and high quality of the ring die granulation.

[0041] The above merely describes preferred specific embodiments of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto, and any person skilled in the art, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present application, makes equivalent replacement or change within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
