Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of plastic pipe production technology, specifically to an automatic feeding device for plastic pipe production. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic pipe manufacturing equipment typically includes an extruder, die head, shaping and cooling system, traction machine, and cutting device. Specifically, the extruder is the core equipment in plastic pipe production; it extrudes molten plastic into pipes of a specific shape. The die head is a key component of the extruder, controlling the pipe's diameter and thickness. The shaping and cooling system cools and shapes the freshly extruded pipe. The traction machine straightens and pulls the pipe at a uniform speed to ensure its length and diameter. The cutting device cuts the pulled-out pipe to a specific length. In addition, auxiliary equipment such as dryers, feeders, and molds are also essential in plastic pipe production.

[0003] Existing technologies cannot clean the raw materials during the lifting process. Because the raw materials have impurities and dust on their surface, the quality of the produced plastic pipes cannot be guaranteed due to their low purity. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An automatic feeding device for plastic pipe production includes a lifting pipe and a feeding box. A first spiral blade is installed inside the lifting pipe and is rotatably installed inside the lifting pipe. A second spiral blade is installed inside the feeding box and is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the feeding box. One end of the second spiral blade extends to the bottom of the lifting pipe.

[0006] A spraying device is installed on the top of the feed box, which sprays external water into the inside of the feed box.

[0007] The surface of the second spiral blade is connected to a first stirring rod, which is used to stir the plastic material entering the feed box;

[0008] By adding plastic raw materials into the feed box and rotating the second spiral blade, the plastic raw materials are screwed into the riser pipe.

A through hole is opened on the first spiral blade. By opening a through hole on the first spiral blade, hot air can be blown to the plastic material through the through hole, so as to better dissipate heat from the plastic material.

[0010] Preferably, a first rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the middle of the first spiral blade, and the two ends of the first rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the two ends of the lifting tube, respectively. A first motor is connected to the top of the lifting tube, and the output end of the first motor is connected to the top end of the first rotating shaft. The gap between the edge of the first spiral blade and the lifting tube is smaller than the diameter of a single plastic particle.

[0011] Preferably, a heating wire is fixedly installed inside the top of the lifting tube, the heating wire is connected to an external power source, an air inlet is opened at the top of the lifting tube, the air inlet is connected to an external blower, and the air generated by the blower is injected into the lifting tube and blown to the bottom of the lifting tube through the heating wire.

[0012] By setting heating wires and air inlets, when the first spiral blade rotates, it lifts the plastic material into the inside of the lifting tube. The blower then allows air to enter the inside of the lifting tube from the air inlet, and the air is heated into hot air by the heating wire, thereby heating and drying the material inside the lifting tube.

[0018] External water is pressurized by a water pump and injected sequentially into the main water pipe, branch water pipe, and spray pipe. Finally, the water is sprayed from the spray hole onto the top of the second spiral blade to clean the plastic raw material.

[0019] Preferably, a heating device is installed on the outside of the riser pipe. The heating device includes an annular box, which is fixed to the outer wall of the riser pipe. A cavity is formed around the annular box, and a connecting pipe is connected to the upper and lower ends of the cavity. The connecting pipe forms an S-shaped channel around the annular box. A circulation pipe is connected to the ends of two adjacent cavities. A heating circulation pump is connected to the top of the circulation pipe. A heat-conducting liquid is injected into the inside of the cavity.

[0020] The heat-conducting liquid inside the S-shaped cavity is circulated and heated by a heating circulation pump, thereby exchanging heat between the high-temperature heat-conducting liquid and the inside of the riser tube, drying and heating the plastic raw material inside the riser tube, and improving the drying effect.

[0021] A movable sleeve is provided at the upper part of the inside of the lifting tube. A fixed sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting tube.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] See Figure 1-8 This embodiment discloses an automatic feeding device for plastic pipe production, including a lifting pipe 100 and a feeding box 200. A first spiral blade 104 is installed inside the lifting pipe 100 and is rotatably installed inside the lifting pipe 100. A second spiral blade 202 is provided inside the feeding box 200 and is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the feeding box 200. One end of the second spiral blade 202 extends to the bottom of the lifting pipe 100.

[0039] A spraying device 300 is installed on the top of the feed box 200, and the spraying device 300 sprays external water into the interior of the feed box 200.

[0040] The surface of the second spiral blade 202 is connected to a first stirring rod 203, which is used to stir the plastic material entering the feed box 200.

[0041] By adding plastic raw materials into the feed box 200 and rotating the second spiral blade 202, the plastic raw materials are screwed into the riser pipe 100. At the same time, water is sprayed above the second spiral blade 202 by the spraying device 300 to clean the plastic raw materials on the second spiral blade 202, thereby improving the purity of the finished plastic product.

[0042] like Figure 9 , Figure 10As shown, in one possible embodiment, a movable sleeve 501 is provided above the interior of the lifting pipe 100, a fixed sleeve 502 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting pipe 100, an annular groove is formed between the fixed sleeve 502 and the inner wall of the lifting pipe 100, the movable sleeve 501 is slidably connected to the interior of the annular groove, a spring 504 is connected between the bottom end of the movable sleeve 501 and the inner wall of the annular groove, a plurality of baffle rods 503 are connected to the inner wall of the movable sleeve 501, the baffle rods 503 are inclined, and an air hole 505 is opened on the side wall of the lifting pipe 100, the air hole 505 communicates with the interior of the annular groove, and the air hole 505 is connected to an air pump;

[0043] With the above scheme, when the material is lifted to the top, an external air pump is connected to inject gas into the interior of the annular groove, thereby causing the movable sleeve 501 to slide upward. When the air pump draws the gas out of the annular groove, the interior of the annular groove is depressurized. Under the action of the spring 504, the movable sleeve 501 slides downward. This process is repeated. Through the up and down sliding of the movable sleeve 501, the baffle rod 503 moves up and down, thereby breaking up the plastic material and preventing the plastic material from sticking together due to high temperature.

[0047] By setting heating wire 107 and air inlet 102, when the first spiral blade 104 rotates and lifts the plastic material into the inside of the lifting tube 100, the blower allows air to enter the inside of the lifting tube 100 from the air inlet 102, and the air is heated into hot air by heating wire 107, thereby heating and drying the material inside the lifting tube 100.

[0050] The plastic raw materials inside the feed box 200 are stirred by the simultaneous rotation of the third rotating shaft 204 and the second rotating shaft 201, and by the rotation of the first stirring rod 203 on the outer wall of the second rotating shaft 201 and the second stirring rod 205 on the outer wall of the third rotating shaft 204, so that each plastic raw material can be cleaned by the water mist sprayed by the spraying device 300.
