[0031] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of the present invention:
[0032] 1. In the present invention, by providing a preliminary propulsion section, a crushing section, a secondary propulsion section, and an extrusion section, during the process of advancing the material, the material undergoes dispersion in the preliminary propulsion section, crushing in the crushing section, dispersion in the secondary propulsion section, and extrusion in the extrusion section, enabling the material particles to be crushed. The crushed particles are dispersed in the secondary propulsion section, resulting in a more uniform mixture, solving the problem of uneven mixing of large particle materials and achieving a better mixing effect. The secondary propulsion section and the extrusion section heat and melt the material. After different materials are melted, they are further mixed under the extrusion of the extrusion cylinder. The melted material changes its shape and position through extrusion for mixing, and some incompletely melted particles can be extruded into flakes. Due to the larger heat absorption area and contact area with other materials of the flakes, the subsequent extrusion and re - mixing effects are better. The crushed material is more easily heated and mixed, with good mixing effect and high efficiency;
[0033] 2. In the present invention, through the speed - changing unit, the rotation speeds of the acceleration cylinder and the crushing block are greater than the rotation speed of the central shaft, increasing the crushing speed of the material while keeping the material propulsion speed unchanged, improving the crushing effect. By driving the acceleration cylinder and the crushing block to rotate through the crushing section, the problem that a power source cannot be installed in the middle of the central shaft is solved, and the crushing speed of the material can be increased according to the increase in the propulsion speed, making the propulsion speed and crushing speed of the material more matched;
[0034] 3. In the present invention, the spiral directions of the two preliminary propulsion spiral vanes and the two secondary propulsion spiral vanes are opposite, and the rotation directions of the two central shafts are opposite. This makes the forward directions of the materials pushed by the two preliminary propulsion spiral vanes the same, but the spiral movement directions of the materials are opposite, enabling the material to be continuously dispersed between the two preliminary propulsion spiral vanes and the two secondary propulsion spiral vanes, improving the mixing efficiency. The spiral direction of the crushing blocks spirally distributed on the crushing section is the same as that of the preliminary propulsion section, ensuring that the direction of the crushing blocks pushing the material is the same as that of the preliminary propulsion section pushing the material, improving the propulsion efficiency of the material;
[0035] 4. In the present invention, the problem that the crushing section cannot be directly connected to the preliminary propulsion section and the secondary propulsion section due to the occlusion of the acceleration components provided at both ends of the crushing section, resulting in the inability of the crushing section to rotate synchronously, is solved, and synchronous rotation is ensured.

[0048] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0049] Example: Refer to Figures 1 - 10 A material extrusion and mixing device as shown, including two central shafts 2. Both central shafts 2 can rotate, and the rotation directions are opposite; the central shaft 2 sequentially includes an initial propulsion section 21, a crushing section 22, a re - propulsion section 23, and an extrusion section 24 along the axial direction. The re - propulsion section 23 and the extrusion section 24 can heat the material, and both the initial propulsion section 21 and the re - propulsion section 23 can move the material in the direction of the extrusion section 24; an acceleration assembly 3 is arranged on the crushing section 22. The acceleration assembly 3 includes an acceleration cylinder 31, a fixed shaft 32, and a speed - change unit 33. The speed - change unit 33 is arranged on the fixed shaft 32. When the crushing section 22 rotates, the crushing section 22 can drive the acceleration cylinder 31 to rotate in the same direction through the speed - change unit 33, and make the rotation speed of the acceleration cylinder 31 greater than that of the crushing section 22;
[0050] A number of crushing blocks 221 are fixedly installed on the crushing section 22. The number of crushing blocks 221 is spirally distributed on the acceleration cylinder 31; when the crushing blocks 221 rotate, they can push the material in the direction of the extrusion section 24.
[0051] A extrusion cylinder 241 is fixedly installed on the extrusion section 24. A housing 1 is provided on the two central shafts 2. The housing 1 enables the material to enter the extrusion section 24 from above the extrusion cylinder 241 and discharge from below the extrusion cylinder 241.
[0052] Different material particles are proportionally input into the preliminary propulsion section 21. The preliminary propulsion section 21 pushes the material towards the extrusion section 24. The material is preliminarily mixed in the preliminary propulsion section 21 and is pushed into the crushing section 22 by the preliminary propulsion section 21. The crushing section 22 rotates to drive the acceleration cylinder 31 to rotate through the speed change unit 33. The acceleration cylinder 31 drives the crushing block 221 to rotate. The crushing block 221 crushes the material and further mixes the material. The material moves forward under the continuous feeding of the preliminary propulsion section 21 and the propulsion of the spiral-distributed crushing blocks 221. The crushing block 221 enters the re-propulsion section 23. The re-propulsion section 23 pushes the material into the extrusion section 24. The material enters the extrusion section 24 from above the extrusion cylinder 241. As the two extrusion cylinders 241 rotate, the material is extruded by the extrusion cylinder 241 between the two extrusion cylinders 241, so that the material is further mixed and the mixed material is more uniform.
[0053] By setting the preliminary propulsion section 21, the crushing section 22, the re-propulsion section 23 and the extrusion section 24, during the process of the material being propelled, it undergoes the dispersion in the preliminary propulsion section 21, the crushing in the crushing section 22, the dispersion in the re-propulsion section 23 and the extrusion in the extrusion section 24, enabling the material particles to be crushed. The crushed particles are dispersed by the re-propulsion section 23 and are more evenly mixed, solving the problem of uneven mixing of large particle materials, with a better mixing effect. The re-propulsion section 23 and the extrusion section 24 heat and melt the material. Different melted materials are further mixed under the extrusion of the extrusion cylinder 241. The melted material changes its shape and position through extrusion for mixing, and some uncompletely melted particles can be extruded into flakes. Due to the larger heat-receiving area and the contact area with other materials of the flakes, the subsequent extrusion and re-mixing effects are better.
[0054] Through the speed change unit 33, the rotation speeds of the acceleration cylinder 31 and the crushing block 221 are greater than the rotation speed of the central shaft 2, so as to increase the crushing speed of the material while keeping the material propulsion speed unchanged, improving the crushing effect. By driving the acceleration cylinder 31 and the crushing block 221 to rotate through the crushing section 22, the problem that a power source cannot be installed in the middle of the central shaft 2 is solved, and the crushing speed of the material can be increased according to the increase of the propulsion speed, making the propulsion speed and the crushing speed of the material more matched. Due to the spiral-distributed crushing blocks 221, the material still has a certain propulsion force in the crushing section 22, and the material is not easily blocked in the crushing section 22, improving the propulsion efficiency of the material.
[0055] Further, referring to Figures 1 - 10, a preliminary propulsion section 21 is fixedly installed with preliminary propulsion spiral vanes 211, and the spiral directions of the preliminary propulsion spiral vanes 211 in the two preliminary propulsion sections 21 are opposite; a re - propulsion section 23 is fixedly installed with re - propulsion spiral vanes 231, and the spiral direction of the re - propulsion spiral vanes 231 is the same as that of the preliminary propulsion spiral vanes 211; the diameters of the acceleration cylinder 31, the preliminary propulsion section 21, and the re - propulsion section 23 are the same, the diameter of the crushing section 22 is smaller than that of the acceleration cylinder 31, and the acceleration cylinder 31 is rotatably sleeved on the crushing section 22; several crushing blocks 221 are spirally distributed on the acceleration cylinder 31, and the spiral direction is the same as that of the preliminary propulsion spiral vanes 211.
[0056] Since the spiral directions of the two preliminary propulsion spiral vanes 211 and the two re - propulsion spiral vanes 231 are opposite, and the rotation directions of the two central shafts 2 are opposite, the advancing directions of the materials pushed by the two preliminary propulsion spiral vanes 211 are the same, but the spiral moving directions of the materials are opposite, enabling the materials to be continuously dispersed between the two preliminary propulsion spiral vanes 211 and the two re - propulsion spiral vanes 231, improving the mixing efficiency. The spiral direction of the crushing blocks 221 spirally distributed on the crushing section 22 is the same as that of the preliminary propulsion section 21, ensuring that the direction of the crushing blocks 221 pushing the materials is the same as that of the preliminary propulsion section 21 pushing the materials, and improving the propulsion efficiency of the materials.
[0057] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 - 10 , a fixing hole is opened in the central shaft 2, and the fixing shaft 32 passes through the fixing hole; there are two sets of acceleration components 3, which are respectively located at both ends of the crushing section 22; the acceleration component 3 further includes a rotating cylinder 34, a variable - speed fixing block 35, and a rotating plate 36; the variable - speed unit 33 includes a first - stage variable - speed internal gear ring 331, a first - stage variable - speed pinion 332, a second - stage variable - speed large gear 333, a second - stage variable - speed pinion 334, a reverse gear 335, and an output gear 336; variable - speed slots are opened at both ends of the crushing section 22, and the first - stage variable - speed internal gear ring 331 is fixedly installed in the variable - speed slots; the rotating cylinder 34 is rotatably sleeved on the fixing shaft 32, the rotating plate 36 is fixedly installed on the rotating cylinder 34, the outer ring of the rotating cylinder 34 is fixedly installed on the acceleration cylinder 31, the variable - speed fixing block 35 is fixedly installed on the fixing shaft 32, a first - stage support shaft and a second - stage support shaft are rotatably installed on the variable - speed fixing block 35, the first - stage variable - speed pinion 332 and the second - stage variable - speed large gear 333 are both fixedly sleeved on the first - stage support shaft, the second - stage variable - speed pinion 334 and the reverse gear 335 are both fixedly sleeved on the second - stage support shaft, and the output gear 336 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating cylinder 34; the first - stage variable - speed pinion 332 meshes with the first - stage variable - speed internal gear ring 331, the second - stage variable - speed large gear 333 meshes with the second - stage variable - speed pinion 334, and the reverse gear 335 meshes with the output gear 336.
[0058] The diameter of the first-stage variable-speed internal gear ring 331 is larger than that of the first-stage variable-speed pinion gear 332. The diameter of the second-stage variable-speed large gear 333 is larger than that of the first-stage variable-speed pinion gear 332 and the second-stage variable-speed pinion gear 334. The diameters of the reverse gear 335 and the output gear 336 are the same.
[0059] When the crushing section 22 rotates, the crushing section 22 drives the first-stage variable-speed internal gear ring 331 to rotate. The first-stage variable-speed internal gear ring 331 drives the first-stage variable-speed pinion gear 332 to rotate in the same direction with acceleration. The first-stage variable-speed pinion gear 332 drives the second-stage variable-speed large gear 333 to rotate in the same direction and at the same speed. The second-stage variable-speed large gear 333 drives the second-stage variable-speed pinion gear 334 to rotate in the opposite direction with acceleration. The second-stage variable-speed pinion gear 334 drives the reverse gear 335 to rotate in the same direction and at the same speed. The reverse gear 335 drives the output gear 336 to rotate in the opposite direction and at the same speed. The output gear 336 drives the rotating cylinder 34 to rotate. The rotating cylinder 34 drives the accelerating cylinder 31 to rotate through the rotating plate 36. During the process of the first-stage variable-speed internal gear ring 331 driving the output gear 336 to rotate, there are two-stage speed changes and two changes in the rotation direction, enabling the crushing section 22 to drive the accelerating cylinder 31 to rotate. The rotation direction of the accelerating cylinder 31 is the same as that of the crushing section 22, and the rotation speed is greater than that of the crushing section 22, ensuring that the pushing direction of the crushing block 221 on the material is the same as that of the preliminary propulsion section 21 on the material. The crushing block 221 will not significantly affect the moving speed of the material, improving the material propulsion efficiency.
[0060] The first-stage variable-speed pinion gear 332, the second-stage variable-speed large gear 333, the second-stage variable-speed pinion gear 334, the reverse gear 335, the output gear 336, and the rotating cylinder 34 are supported by the fixed shaft 32, enabling the intermediate gears for speed change in the acceleration assembly 3 to have support. Since the acceleration assembly 3 is arranged on the accelerating cylinder 31 and the crushing section 22, and both the accelerating cylinder 31 and the crushing section 22 are in a rotating state during operation and cannot install support members, the problem of the intermediate gears for speed change being unable to be supported is solved. The fixed shaft 32 is rotatably connected inside the central shaft 2. Since the fixed shaft 32 is used for fixing and cannot rotate, being arranged inside the central shaft 2 will not cause obstruction to the material due to being arranged outside the central shaft 2 and will not affect the material propulsion efficiency.
