The surface of the screw is provided with working sections with different groove shapes, and each working section has a different function. The plastic sent from the hopper is pushed forward, making the plastic uniformly melt. Through the head and different-shaped molds, the plastic is extruded into continuous plastic layers of various required shapes.

[0003] In existing extruders, such as Chinese Patent Application CN113492513A, through the setting of double-screw extrusion elements, several groups of axially arranged pin groups are provided on the screw edges of the screws of the double-screw extruder, which can increase the number of fluid streamline bundles, causing the material to continuously separate, merge, cross or change direction during the flow process, effectively dividing the material, changing the material flow condition, and thus enhancing the mixing ability of the screw.

[0004] However, the following problems still exist: Limited by the size of the exhaust port, there is less exhaust time for the bubbles remaining in the molten material in the barrel, and it is very easy for bubbles to still exist in the molten material, which affects the extrusion molding of subsequent materials and reduces the production quality of the extruder.

[0033] 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.

[0034] As introduced in the background art, there are deficiencies in the prior art. To solve the above technical problems, the present application proposes an ultra-long small taper double-barrel screw extruder for plastic recycling.

[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] In a typical implementation manner of the present application, as Figures 1 - 2As shown in the figure, an ultra-long small taper twin-screw extruder for plastic recycling includes a base 1, an extrusion mechanism 2 arranged on the base 1, and an auxiliary mechanism 3 arranged on the extrusion mechanism 2. The extrusion mechanism 2 includes a heater 24 and a barrel 28. The heater 24 is fixedly installed on the base 1 and is used for melting the material. The barrel 28 is arranged on the base 1 and penetrates through the heating area of the heater 24. The barrel 28 is used for conveying and processing the material.

[0037] The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a moving part 33 and a dial rod 34. The moving part 33 is movably arranged in the barrel 28. The moving part 33 is located in the exhaust area of the extruder. The shape of the moving part 33 is adapted to the shape of the inner wall of the barrel 28. A plurality of dial rods 34 are fixedly installed on the inner ring wall surface of the moving part 33. The dial rods 34 are evenly distributed on the moving part 33. The length of the dial rod 34 is adapted to the length of the exhaust area of the extruder. The dial rod 34 moves synchronously with the moving part 33.

[0038] Specifically, the inner shape of the barrel 28 is an "8" - shaped structure, and the shape of the moving part 33 is an "8" - shaped structure.

[0039] When using the present invention:

[0040] First, the material is fed into one end of the barrel 28, and the material is conveyed forward inside the barrel 28. The heater 24 is started, and the heater 24 heats the inside of the barrel 28, causing the material to melt inside the barrel 28. Then, the melted material is extruded from the other end of the barrel 28. At the same time, the moving part 33 is driven to move, so that the moving part 33 moves in an "8" - shaped trajectory inside the barrel 28. The moving part 33 drives the dial rod 34 to move, so that the dial rod 34 flips the material inside the barrel 28, thereby assisting the material to flip in the exhaust area to help the bubbles in the material escape, thus forming a stirring action on the melted material inside the barrel, making the melted material flip at the position of the exhaust port to assist the melted material in exhausting. In this way, the exhaust efficiency is improved within a specific exhaust time period, the bubble content in the melted material is reduced, the influence of bubbles on the extrusion molding of the material is avoided, and the production quality of the extruder is improved.

[0041] Embodiment 2

[0042] As Figures 3 - 5As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the extrusion mechanism 2 further includes a machine cover plate 21. The machine cover plate 21 is fixedly installed on the base 1. Inside the machine cover plate 21, there is a barrel support 22. The barrel support 22 is fixedly installed on the base 1. The barrel support 22 penetrates through both ends of the machine cover plate 21. A feed hopper 23 is fixedly installed on the machine cover plate 21. The bottom end of the feed hopper 23 penetrates through the wall surface of the machine cover plate 21 and the barrel support 22. The bottom end of the feed hopper 23 is communicated with the barrel 28. The barrel 28 penetrates through the heating area of the heater 24.

[0043] Further, a main motor 25 is fixedly installed on the base 1. A coupling 26 is fixedly installed on the shaft of the main motor 25. A gear set 27 is arranged on the base 1. One end of the gear set 27 is power-connected to the coupling 26. The other end of the gear set 27 extends into the barrel 28. A first screw 29 is arranged in the barrel 28. A second screw 210 is arranged in the barrel 28. The first screw 29 is threadedly matched with the second screw 210. The gear set 27 is power-connected to the first screw 29 and the gear set 27 is power-connected to the second screw 210, so that the first screw 29 and the second screw 210 rotate relative to each other.

[0044] Further, a plurality of exhaust ports 211 are opened on the barrel 28. The exhaust ports 211 are located in the exhaust area of the extruder. The exhaust ports 211 are communicated with the inside of the machine cover plate 21. One end of the barrel 28 is fixedly installed with a discharge port 212. The discharge port 212 is communicated with the barrel 28. The discharge port 212 penetrates through the barrel support 22 and the machine cover plate 21.

[0045] Further, the inside of the barrel 28 includes a plurality of areas. At one end inside the barrel 28, there is a feeding section 213 for conveying materials. Inside the barrel 28, there is a pre-plasticizing section 214 adjacent to the feeding section 213 for heating and softening the materials. Inside the barrel 28, there is a mixing section a215 adjacent to the pre-plasticizing section 214 for mixing and shearing the materials. Inside the barrel 28, there is a compression section a216 adjacent to the mixing section a215 for compacting the materials.

[0046] Further, an exhaust section a217 is provided inside the barrel 28. The exhaust section a217 is adjacent to the compression section a216. The exhaust section a217 is used for exhausting the material. A kneading section b218 is provided inside the barrel 28. The kneading section b218 is adjacent to the exhaust section a217. The kneading section b218 is used for mixing and shearing the material again. A compression section b219 is provided inside the barrel 28. The compression section b219 is adjacent to the kneading section b218. The compression section b219 is used for compacting the material again. An exhaust section b220 is provided inside the barrel 28. The exhaust section b220 is adjacent to the compression section b219. The exhaust section b220 is used for exhausting the material again. An extrusion section 221 is provided inside the barrel 28. The extrusion section 221 is adjacent to the exhaust section b220. The extrusion section 221 is used for extruding the material.

[0047] Among them, the feeding section 213: Its main function is to convey the material and prevent the material from flowing back. The screw in this section is similar to the conveying section of a single-screw extruder, which smoothly conveys materials such as plastic particles from the hopper to the inside of the extruder, preparing for the subsequent processing process;

[0048] The pre-plasticizing section 214: Initially heats and softens the plastic raw material, and fully mixes the raw material through stirring and heating to ensure the stability of product quality and the consistency of performance. Through heat transfer and frictional shearing, the material is fully melted and homogenized. In this section, the material begins to gradually change from a solid state to a molten state, providing conditions for the next kneading and processing. Heat transfer is where heating occurs, and frictional shearing is achieved through the threads of the screw;

[0049] The kneading section a215: Kneading is carried out by the mutual meshing of the toothed first shearing teeth, which can fully mix and shear the material, enabling different material components to be fully mixed and reach a uniform state;

[0050] The compression section a216: Further compacts the material in the compression section after the kneading section. After kneading, the material may still be relatively loose. The compression section applies pressure to the material through the action of components such as the screw, compacts it, makes the material more dense, and discharges the air in the material, preparing for the subsequent exhaust section. During the compression process, due to the material being subjected to higher pressure and appropriate shear force, it helps for better dispersion;

[0051] The exhaust section a217: When the material is conveyed to the exhaust section by the screw, the gas in the material (such as water vapor formed by the evaporation of moisture, air entrained in the raw material, etc.) will be discharged under vacuum or normal pressure. The thread distribution gap in the exhaust section is relatively large. The relatively large thread gap can provide sufficient escape space and channels for the gas, enabling the gas to be smoothly separated from the material and discharged out of the extruder through the opening of the exhaust section;

[0052] Mixing section b218: The first screw 29 and the second screw 210 are both fixedly provided with a thread edge a, a toothed second shear tooth, a thread edge b, and a thread edge c in sequence. Through the combination mode of the thread edge and the second shear tooth, and the change of the clearance of the thread edge, the turnover at various angles is realized, so that the mixing of the materials is more sufficient;

[0053] Compression section b219: Further compact the material in the compression section after the mixing section. After mixing, the material may still be relatively loose. The compression section applies pressure to the material through the action of components such as the screw, compresses it, makes the material more dense, and discharges the air in the material;

[0054] Exhaust section b220: Exhaust the material again;

[0055] Extrusion section 221: Convey and boost the pressure of the material, build a certain pressure, make the material at the die opening have a certain density, and further mix at the same time, and finally achieve the purpose of smoothly extruding and granulating.

[0056] Further, as Figure 11 shown, the structures of the first screw 29 and the second screw 210 are the same, both are small conical screws, the diameter of which gradually decreases along the material conveying direction, the diameter of the end far from the discharge port 212 is D1, the diameter of the end close to the discharge port 212 is D2, the length is L, the taper angle is α, tanα = (D1 - D2) / 2 / L, tanα is 0.001 - 0.009, and the length-diameter ratio is A, A = L / D2, A is 30 - 40.

[0057] Furthermore, for ordinary conical twin screws, the conical screws are generally designed according to the ratio of the large and small head diameters of 2:1, and the length-diameter ratio A is adjusted within the range of 20 - 23. Taking the conical twin-screw barrel with a diameter of 65 / 132, which is widely used in the market, as an example, the effective length of the screw is 1420 mm, the large head diameter is 132 mm, the small head diameter is 65 mm, and the length-diameter ratio is 1420 / 65, approximately equal to 22 times, and tanα = (132 - 65) / 2 / 1420 = 0.0236. However, for the first screw 29 and the second screw 210 of the present invention, their dimensions can reach a diameter of 145 / 192, a length of 5588 mm, a large head diameter of 192 mm, a small head diameter of 145 mm, a length-diameter ratio of 5588 / 145 exceeding 38 times, and tanα = (192 - 145) / 2 / 5588 ≈ 0.0042. From the above data, it can be seen that the first screw 29 and the second screw 210 of the present invention are small taper and extra-long diameter screws, and their advantages are as follows:

[0058] The first small taper: Compared with parallel twin-screw barrels, the working pressure of the inner cavity of the conical twin-screw barrel is higher, which can significantly improve the working efficiency of the plastic extruder. Ordinary conical twin-screw barrels have a relatively large cone angle, and the screw speed is highly sensitive to the pressure in the barrel cavity. The small taper of the present invention is that the screw speed is relatively less sensitive to the pressure in the barrel cavity, which is more conducive to accurately adjusting the working pressure in the barrel cavity by adjusting the screw speed. The speed adjustment range is relatively larger. According to the performance of the processed raw materials, different extrusion products can be processed by setting different speeds in a targeted manner, and the types of raw materials that can be selected are more diverse. At the same time, since the working pressure in the barrel cavity can be accurately adjusted, it is beneficial to improve the quality of the products processed by the plastic extruder.

[0059] The second extra-long diameter: the working length of the screw in the barrel is extended, the component structure is optimized, and the mixing is more sufficient. Since the screw stroke is lengthened, more blending areas can be arranged. During the processing of PET and calcium powder mixed products, a large amount of air will be mixed. In order to reduce the air content in the product, an exhaust section can be reasonably set in the lengthened barrel. The present invention can exhaust the gas in time by setting two exhaust sections, so that the raw materials are mixed more fully and the extrusion is smoother, because the gas will occupy a certain space and affect the full mixing of the materials.

A plurality of ball screws 314 are provided between the protective collar 313 and the second annular rail 312. The ball screws 314 are evenly distributed between the protective collar 313 and the second annular rail 312.

[0065] Among them, when assisting the material to exhaust, the servo motor 38 is started. The servo motor 38 drives the second traction wheel 39 to rotate. The second traction wheel 39 drives the belt 310 to rotate. The belt 310 drives the first traction wheel 37 to rotate. The first traction wheel 37 drives the auxiliary gear 36 to rotate. The auxiliary gear 36 drives the toothed belt 35 to move. The toothed belt 35 drives the moving part 33 to move on the first annular rail 32. The moving part 33 drives the lever 34 to move, so that the lever 34 stirs the material; at the same time, as the first screw 29 rotates relative to the second screw 210, when the first screw 29 or the second screw 210 touches the protective collar 313, the first screw 29 or the second screw 210 drives the protective collar 313 to move on the second annular rail 312, so that the first screw 29 and the second screw 210 will not generate a large amount of friction with the inner wall of the barrel 28, and the ball screws 314 reduce the friction between the protective collar 313 and the second annular rail 312.

[0066] Further, according to production needs, the set length of some extruders will span the entire production workshop. A large amount of air bubbles will accumulate inside the longer barrel 28, resulting in a relatively large internal air pressure in the barrel 28. Therefore, additional settings for the auxiliary mechanism 3 are required on larger extruders.

[0067] Specifically, an extended cavity is provided on the barrel 28. The extended cavity of the barrel 28 and the barrel 28 are of an integral structure, that is, they are cast into an integral rigid part using a mold. The auxiliary gear 36, the first traction wheel 37, the servo motor 38, the second traction wheel 39, and the belt 310 in the auxiliary mechanism 3 are all arranged in the extended cavity of the barrel 28. The first annular rail 32 and the moving part 33 separate the inside of the barrel 28 from the extended cavity of the barrel 28, so that the setting of the auxiliary mechanism 3 is entirely inside the structure of the barrel 28, thereby preventing the barrel 28 from bursting due to the relatively high air pressure inside the barrel 28.

[0068] Furthermore, due to the pressure difference between the interior of the barrel 28 and the extended cavity of the barrel 28, a plurality of triangular stabilizing frames made of rigid materials are arranged in the extended cavity of the barrel 28. The triangular stabilizing frames are evenly distributed beside the first annular rail 32. Rotating wheels are arranged on each triangular stabilizing frame. The rotating wheels are in contact with the moving member 33, so that the rotating wheels provide auxiliary support for the moving member 33 made of soft material. At the same time, a pressure detector is arranged on a single rotating wheel. The detection end of the pressure detector is in contact with the moving member 33. A high-pressure gas tank and an air pump are arranged in the extended cavity of the barrel 28. When the pressure detector detects that the moving member 33 starts to deform under pressure, the air pump will synchronously release gas to balance the air pressure difference between the interior of the barrel 28 and the extended cavity of the barrel 28, so as to maintain the pressure balance between the interior of the barrel 28 and the extended cavity of the barrel 28.

[0069] Furthermore, the method of maintaining the integrity of the overall structure of the barrel 28 and the pressure balance between the interior of the barrel 28 and the extended cavity of the barrel 28 by the pressure in the extended cavity of the barrel 28 are both prior arts, and need to be selectively set according to the size of the extruder equipment. And the setting of the extended cavity of the barrel 28 has no substantial impact on the improvement of the present invention, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0070] The working principle of the whole extruder:

[0071] First, the material is fed into one end of the barrel 28, and the material is conveyed forward by the interior of the barrel 28. The heater 24 is started, and the heater 24 heats the interior of the barrel 28, so that the material melts inside the barrel 28. Then the melted material is extruded from the other end of the barrel 28. At the same time, the moving member 33 is driven to move, so that the moving member 33 moves in an "8" - shaped trajectory inside the barrel 28. The moving member 33 drives the lever 34 to move, so that the lever 34 flips the material inside the barrel 28, thereby assisting the material to flip in the exhaust area to help the bubbles in the material escape, thus forming a stirring action on the melted material inside the barrel, making the melted material flip at the position of the exhaust port to assist the melted material in exhausting gas. In this way, the exhaust efficiency is improved during a specific exhaust time period, the bubble content in the melted material is reduced, the influence of bubbles on the extrusion molding of the material is avoided, and the production quality of the extruder is improved.

[0072] When exhausting auxiliary materials, the servo motor 38 is started. The servo motor 38 drives the second traction wheel 39 to rotate. The second traction wheel 39 drives the belt 310 to rotate. The belt 310 drives the first traction wheel 37 to rotate. The first traction wheel 37 drives the auxiliary gear 36 to rotate. The auxiliary gear 36 drives the toothed belt 35 to move. The toothed belt 35 drives the moving part 33 to move on the first annular rail 32. The moving part 33 drives the lever 34 to move, so that the lever 34 stirs the materials; at the same time, with the rotation of the first screw 29 and the second screw 210, when the first screw 29 or the second screw 210 touches the protective sleeve ring 313, the first screw 29 or the second screw 210 drives the protective sleeve ring 313 to move on the second annular rail 312, so that the first screw 29 and the second screw 210 will not generate a large amount of friction with the inner wall of the barrel 28, and the ball screw 314 reduces the friction between the protective sleeve ring 313 and the second annular rail 312.

[0073] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
