[0047] The first pressurized kneading assembly comprises a first pressurized kneading sleeve 17 which is sleeved on the first main shaft 7 through the spline 9, and a plurality of pressurized engaging teeth 18 are arranged on the first pressurized kneading sleeve 17, the stagger angle of the pressurized engaging teeth 18 is less than 90°, the diameter of the contour circle where the outer end of each pressurized engaging tooth 18 is located gradually decreases in the conveying direction, and the tooth surface of the pressurized engaging tooth 18 is perpendicular to the axis of the first kneading sleeve 14; the structure of the second pressurized kneading assembly is the same as that of the first pressurized kneading assembly, the pressurized engaging teeth 18 on the second pressurized kneading assembly are engaged with the pressurized engaging teeth 18 on the first pressurized kneading assembly; the second pressurized engaging assembly comprises a second pressurized engaging sleeve 19;

[0049] The feeding device 3 first puts the plastic raw material from the feeding port 2, and the first screw monomer and the second screw monomer can be driven to rotate in the same direction by the rotating power device, which comprises a rotating motor 5 installed on the base 1 to drive the first main shaft 7 and the second main shaft 8 to rotate in the same direction. The first upstream conveying threaded sleeve 10 and the second upstream conveying threaded sleeve 11 can first convey and preliminarily extrude the plastic at the beginning stage, so as to preliminarily disperse the plastic, and then the first mixing threaded sleeve 12 and the second mixing threaded sleeve 13 further extrude and disperse the plastic on the basis of the foregoing, while slowing down the conveying speed.

[0050] The material cylinder 6 is also provided with an air extraction window 23. An air extraction box 24 is fixed on the material cylinder 6 at the air extraction window 23. An air extraction connector 26 connected to a negative pressure air extraction device is provided on the air extraction box 24. A cleaning device is provided inside the air extraction box 24 to clean the plastic adhering to the air extraction window 23. The plastic adhering to the air extraction window 23 is cleaned by the cleaning device, and then the air is extracted from the inside of the material cylinder 6 through the air extraction connector 26.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning device includes a cleaning block 27 vertically and vertically installed inside the suction box 24. The cleaning block 27 is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene. The shape of the cleaning block 27 is adapted to the shape of the suction window 23. The cleaning block 27 is driven by a vertical lifting power device to be inserted into the suction window 23 from top to bottom. When the cleaning block 27 is in the uppermost position, it is detached from the suction window 23. Because the cleaning block is adapted to the shape of the suction window 23, the plastic adhering to the suction window 23 can be squeezed and cleaned, which is simple and quick. Furthermore, when the cleaning block 27 is in the uppermost position, it is detached from the suction window 23, which facilitates suction after cleaning.

[0052] Furthermore, an installation plate 28 is fixed on the suction box 24, and at least two guide rods 29 are fixed to the upper end of the cleaning block 27. The cleaning block 27 is vertically slidably mounted on the installation plate 28 via the guide rods 29. A compression spring 30 is fitted on the guide rod 29, and the compression spring 30 is disposed between the cleaning block 27 and the installation plate 28. The vertical lifting power device is fixed on the installation plate 28. The vertical lifting power device can drive the cleaning block 27 to rise, and the cleaning block 27 can cooperate with the installation plate 28 to compress the compression spring 30. When the cleaning block 27 descends, the compression spring 30 can accelerate the descent speed to quickly clean the material attachments and improve the cleaning effect. The guide rods 29 can ensure the stability of the lifting of the cleaning block 27 and ensure its use.

[0053] In this embodiment, the vertical lifting power device includes a linear power device fixed to the mounting plate 28 and arranged horizontally.

A limiting structure is provided on the other guide rod 29 to limit the descent limit position of the cleaning block 27. The linear power device drives the drive block 31 to move linearly, which in turn drives the guide rod 29 to rise and fall by cooperating with the vertical strip hole 33. The drive ramp 32 can slowly push up the vertical strip hole 33, thereby controlling the compression of the compression spring 30. At the same time, the limiting structure can prevent the cleaning block 27 from falling too far, ensuring the effect of use. The linear power device is a horizontal linear cylinder 25, which drives the drive block 31 to move horizontally.

[0054] Further, the limiting structure is a limiting nut 34 fixed on the guide rod 29, when the limiting nut 34 is in contact with the upper surface of the mounting plate 28, the upper end of the vertical strip-shaped hole 33 is higher than the upper surface of the mounting plate 28; so that when the driving block 31 moves, it can be effectively inserted into the vertical strip-shaped hole 33 to make the cleaning block 27 rise, ensuring the use effect.

[0055] As shown in Figure 6 , the vertical lifting power device includes a swing pivot 35 fixed on the mounting plate 28, a driving swing rod 36 is swingingly mounted on the swing pivot 35, the swing pivot 35 divides the driving swing rod 36 into a short arm and a long arm, the upper end of one of the guide rods 29 is provided with a horizontal strip-shaped hole 37, a movable pin shaft 38 is hingedly connected to the long arm, the movable pin shaft 38 is inserted into the horizontal strip-shaped hole 37, a vertical driving cylinder 39 is also fixed on the mounting plate 28, the piston rod of the vertical driving cylinder 39 is downwardly arranged and abuts against the short arm; the up-and-down swing of the short arm can be controlled by the extension and retraction of the piston of the vertical cylinder, so that the long arm swings up and down, the movable pin shaft 38 moves horizontally in the horizontal strip-shaped hole 37, so that the guide rod 29 rises and falls, and the cleaning block 27 can effectively rise and fall, the structure is simple and reliable.

[0056] Further, the piston rod of the vertical driving cylinder 39 is provided with a driving roller 40; so that it can flexibly contact with the short arm, reduce friction and improve efficiency.

[0057] In the embodiment, the stagger angle of the pressurizing engagement teeth 18 is 60°, the smaller the stagger angle, the better the shearing dispersion effect, so that the flow resistance of the plastic in the region between the pressurizing engagement teeth 18 can be effectively increased, the plastic can be more uniformly sheared and dispersed, and the flow resistance is avoided from being too large and the conveying speed is avoided from being too slow to affect the processing efficiency.

[0058] Further, at least one of the intervals between the kneading teeth 15 of the first kneading assembly is not equal to the other intervals; so that the plastic can flow between the engagement teeth, the shearing dispersion effect can be effectively improved, and the plastic can be accurately and effectively conveyed.

[0059] As shown in Figure 2 , the thread of the first mixing threaded sleeve 12 is provided with a radially extending groove 22; so that the shearing capacity of the first mixing threaded sleeve 12 is effectively improved, and the second mixing threaded sleeve 13 is also provided with a corresponding groove 22, so that preliminary shearing can be performed before shearing, and the shearing dispersion effect is submitted.

[0060] Further, the number of the first kneading assemblies is one or more, and the number of the first pressurizing kneading assemblies is one or more; the more the number of the first kneading assemblies and the first pressurizing kneading assemblies, the better the shearing and dispersing effect on the plastic, and the production quality is effectively improved.

[0061] The working principle of the embodiment is as follows: first, the feeding device 3 puts the plastic raw material from the feeding port 2, the rotating motor 5 drives the first main shaft 7 and the second main shaft 8 to rotate, then the first upstream conveying threaded sleeve 10 and the second upstream conveying threaded sleeve 11 are meshed with the same rotation to extrude and convey the plastic, the first mixing threaded sleeve 12 and the second mixing threaded sleeve 13 are further meshed with the same rotation to extrude and shear the plastic, the meshing teeth on the first meshing sleeve body and the second meshing sleeve body 16 are meshed with each other to shear and disperse the plastic, continue to forward convey, the pressurizing meshing teeth 18 on the first pressurizing meshing sleeve body and the second pressurizing meshing sleeve body 19 are meshed with each other to shear and disperse the plastic, while the conveying speed is slowed down, finally the first downstream conveying threaded sleeve 20 and the second downstream conveying threaded sleeve 21 cooperate with each other to convey the plastic out; at the air extraction window 23, the horizontal linear cylinder 25 piston rod extends, drives the driving block 31 to cooperate with the vertical strip-shaped hole 33 of the guide rod 29, the cleaning block 27 rises, then the piston rod quickly retracts, the compression spring 30 releases the pressure, drives the cleaning block 27 to quickly descend, falls into the air extraction window 23, then the piston rod extends again to drive the cleaning block 27 to rise, and the air extraction starts through the air extraction joint 26.
