Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of plastic stirring, and in particular relates to an efficient and uniform automatic stirring machine for plastic particles. Background Art

[0002] Plastic particles are widely used in modern industry, such as plastic product manufacturing, runway paving, etc. Plastic particle mixer plays a key role in it. The uniform mixing of plastic particles is crucial to product quality. Through the efficient operation of the mixer, plastic particles of different colors and materials can be fully mixed to ensure that the product meets the standard requirements in performance and appearance.

[0003] At present, common plastic pellet mixers mainly include a mixing barrel and a mixing mechanism, and the mixing mechanism is used to quickly and evenly mix the plastic pellets to achieve the purpose of quickly mixing the plastic pellets, such as a plastic pellet mixer disclosed in patent announcement number CN221267806U;

[0004] When plastic pellet mixers are used today, they are usually stirred by timed stirring. For example, the stirring time is set to 20 minutes, and then the plastic pellets are turned out, or after stirring for a certain period of time, a person manually checks whether the plastic pellets are evenly mixed, and then decides whether to end the stirring work. First, when stirring at a fixed time, the timing is usually set based on the time required for uniform stirring in the past. However, since each batch of plastic pellets is different (for example, the particle size of the plastic pellets that need to be stirred is different), the amount of plastic pellets that need to be stirred is also different, so it is difficult to reasonably set the timed stirring time. Insufficient timed time will result in uneven stirring and mixing, and too long timed time will affect the overall efficiency and increase unnecessary energy consumption. The method of manually checking whether the mixing is uniform will be affected by human subjective consciousness and is not accurate enough, which may affect the preparation quality of subsequent plastic products.

Among them, the box body 6 is provided with an inclined baffle below the discharge end of the drop pipe 46, which is used to buffer and disperse the plastic particles falling from the drop pipe 46 to avoid excessive concentration of the plastic particles and affect the separation effect of the plastic particles.

The temperature detector 104 can monitor the temperature and output an electrical signal to the controller 2 after the temperature reaches a threshold value. This is an existing mature technology, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0038] An infrared spotlight 11 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 9, and an infrared detector 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 9 on the side opposite to the infrared spotlight 11.

This is an existing mature technology, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0039] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: the plastic particles with a good proportion are poured into the mixing barrel 1, and then the barrel cover of the mixing barrel 1 is closed, and then the controller 2 is started;

[0040] After the controller 2 is started, it will immediately control the drive motor 33 to work. The drive motor 33 can drive the stirring main shaft 31 to drive the stirring blade 32 to rotate, so that the plastic particles inside the stirring barrel 1 can be quickly stirred, so that different plastic particles can be quickly and evenly mixed. When the stirring main shaft 31 rotates, the two feeding shafts 43 on the same side will be driven to rotate through the bevel gear assembly 52. ​​Through the belt transmission assembly 45, the feeding shafts 43 inside the two feeding barrels 41 can be rotated synchronously. When the spiral feeding blades 44 inside the feeding barrel 41 and the discharging barrel 42 rotate, the moving directions of the plastic particles inside the feeding barrel 41 and the discharging barrel 42 are opposite. Therefore, the plastic particles entering the feeding barrel 41 will be pushed toward the direction of the dropping pipe 46 by the spiral feeding blades 44 inside the feeding barrel 41 (during the stirring Under the action of the blades 32, the plastic particles inside the mixing barrel 1 remain in a moving state, and the moving plastic particles will be squeezed into the feed barrel 41), until the plastic particles move to the position of the drop tube 46, and the plastic particles fall into the box body 6 through the drop tube 46, and fall into the discharge barrel 42 through the discharge hole 47 and the receiving hopper 48. Under the action of the spiral feeding blades 44 inside the discharge barrel 42, the plastic particles inside the discharge barrel 42 will be returned to the mixing barrel 1. The cyclic feeding method of feeding through the feed barrel 41 and discharging from the discharge barrel 42 can increase the flow range of the plastic particles during the stirring of the plastic particles by the stirring blades 32, and improve the exchange speed of the upper plastic particles and the lower plastic particles, thereby helping to increase the efficiency of uniform mixing of the plastic particles.

[0041] After the controller 2 is started, the hot air blower 72 will be started synchronously, and the hot air blower 72 will work in a low-power state. At this time, the hot air blower 72 will blow a low-flow rate airflow into the box body 6 through the blowing hole 73. Under the action of the low-flow rate airflow and the hot airflow, the water vapor and dust on the surface of the plastic particles will be blown away as much as possible (because the plastic particles may absorb moisture and dust during storage, and moisture will increase the adhesion of the plastic particles, and under the action of the stirring and extrusion force, the plastic particles are easy to agglomerate, and the dust will affect the quality of the subsequent preparation of plastic products). By reducing the water vapor and dust on the surface of the plastic particles, it is not only beneficial to improve the mixing uniformity of the plastic particles, but also to improve the preparation quality of the subsequent plastic products, and the airflow carrying water vapor and dust will be discharged through the air outlet 9 (wherein, in order to prevent the hot air blower 72 from sending external dust into the box body 6, causing secondary contamination of the plastic particles, a dust filter or other structure can be installed at the air inlet end of the hot air blower 72 to prevent dust in the external air from causing secondary contamination of the plastic particles);

[0042] The controller 2 starts the uniformity detection work every 3 minutes. When the controller 2 starts the uniformity detection work, it controls the hot air blower 72 to run at high power (the power can be adjusted by the controller 2 according to the size of the plastic particles to be stirred and mixed as needed). At this time, the plastic particles passing through the box 6 are blown to different distances by the airflow under the action of the high-speed airflow. For example, when the plastic particles with a particle size of 3 mm are mixed with the plastic particles with a particle size of 1.2 mm, the hot air blower 72 is in a high-power state, and the airflow velocity delivered by the hot air blower 72 reaches 15 meters per second. At this time, due to the large mass of the plastic particles with a particle size of 3 mm, the plastic particles are less affected by the airflow under the action of gravity. Therefore, the 3 mm plastic particles will fall vertically and be discharged through the discharge hole 47 close to the hot air blower 72. The plastic particles with a particle size of 1.2 mm are offset by the airflow due to their small mass and are discharged through the discharge hole 47 far away from the hot air blower 72.

[0043] When the controller 2 starts a uniformity detection operation, it will synchronously control the two light boards 81 to work, and connect the photosensitive resistor 82 with the corresponding electric regulating resistor 85, the normally closed electromagnetic switch 83 and the normally open electromagnetic switch 84. If the plastic particles have not been stirred evenly at this time, there are more plastic particles of the same kind. Therefore, more plastic particles pass through one of the discharge holes 47, while fewer plastic particles pass through the other discharge hole 47. For the discharge hole 47 with more plastic particles, more light is blocked by the light board 81 due to more plastic particles passing through. At this time, the light intensity irradiated to the photosensitive resistor 82 on this side is relatively low (the photosensitive resistor 82 is in the range of 10Lux to 200Lux, and its own resistance decreases synchronously with the increase of light intensity). At this time, the electric current of the photosensitive resistor 82 The resistance is too high, so the current passing into the normally closed electromagnetic switch 83 and the normally open electromagnetic switch 84 corresponding to the photosensitive resistor 82 is too small. At this time, the normally closed electromagnetic switch 83 remains in a closed state, while the normally open electromagnetic switch 84 remains in an open state. Therefore, the controller 2 will only receive the closing electrical signal of the normally closed electromagnetic switch 83. For the discharge hole 47 with fewer plastic particles passing through, since fewer plastic particles pass through, less light is blocked. At this time, the normally closed electromagnetic switch 83 and the normally open electromagnetic switch 84 corresponding to the photosensitive resistor 82 in the discharge hole 47 will remain in an open state and the normally open electromagnetic switch 84 will remain in a closed state because the current passing through is too large. Therefore, the controller 2 will receive the closing electrical signal of the normally open electromagnetic switch 84 on this side. At this time, the controller 2 will not control the first normally closed electromagnetic valve 102 to work;

[0044] As the plastic particles are gradually stirred and mixed evenly, the amount of plastic particles passing through each discharge hole 47 is appropriate, and the current intensity passing through the corresponding normally open electromagnetic switch 84 and the normally closed electromagnetic switch 83 is moderate (due to the different particle sizes of different types of plastic particles, the connection loop resistance between the photosensitive resistor 82 and the normally open electromagnetic switch 84 and the normally closed electromagnetic switch 83 can be adjusted by the electric resistor 85). At this time, the normally closed electromagnetic switch 83 will remain in an open state due to the passage of a sufficiently large current, and the normally open electromagnetic switch 84 will also remain in an open state due to the passage of an insufficient current. Therefore, when the plastic particles are stirred and mixed evenly, the controller 2 will not receive the closing electrical signal of the normally open electromagnetic switch 84 and the normally closed electromagnetic switch 83. At this time, the controller 2 will control the normally open electromagnetic valve 103 and the first normally closed electromagnetic valve 102 to be energized. At this time, the airflow passing through the inside of the air outlet pipe 9 will be discharged through the first diversion pipe 101. Since the airflow delivered by the hot air blower 72 has a certain amount of heat, When the airflow passes through the first shunt pipe 101, the airflow can heat up the detection end of the temperature detector 104. After the temperature detector 104 detects that the temperature rises to a preset value (the preset value can be adjusted according to the temperature heated by the hot air blower 72), the temperature detector 104 will transmit an electrical signal to the controller 2. If the controller 2 receives electrical signals output by two temperature detectors 104 at the same time during a single uniformity detection, it means that the plastic particles have been fully mixed and uniform. At this time, the controller 2 will control the stirring work to end and remind the personnel through its own voice module (wherein, since it takes a certain time for the temperature detector 104 to heat up, and the controller 2 needs to receive electrical signals output by two temperature detectors 104 at the same time before controlling the stirring work to end, it can avoid the occasional phenomenon that the plastic particles passing through the discharge hole 47 are sufficiently uniform, but the plastic particles are not mixed uniformly as a whole, causing the controller 2 to erroneously trigger the stopping of the stirring work);

[0045] The duration of a single uniformity detection operation is 3 minutes, that is, the hot air blower 72 operates at a high power state for 3 minutes. Within 3 minutes, the controller 2 does not simultaneously receive the electrical signals output by the two temperature detectors 104, which means that the plastic particles have not been fully mixed. After the uniformity detection operation is completed, the controller 2 controls the hot air blower 72 to continue to operate at a low power state and continue the stirring operation, and controls the light board 81, the photosensitive resistor 82, etc. to stop working until the next uniformity detection operation is started;

[0046] When the controller 2 does not start the uniformity detection work (that is, when the hot air blower 72 is running at low power), the controller 2 will control the infrared spotlight 11 to work, and the infrared spotlight 11 will emit infrared rays to the infrared detector 12. If the plastic particles absorb a lot of moisture and dust, the water vapor and dust passing through the air outlet 9 will also increase synchronously, and the water vapor and dust will refract the infrared rays, thereby causing the infrared intensity irradiated to the infrared detector 12 to become lower. After the infrared detector 12 detects that the infrared intensity is lower than the threshold, it will output an electrical signal to the controller 2. At this time, the controller 2 will control the normally open solenoid valve 103 and the second normally closed solenoid valve 14 to start, so the airflow discharged through the air outlet 9 at this time will The gas is discharged through the second branch pipe 13, so the gas flow will pass through the detection end of the gas flow meter 15, and the gas flow meter 15 can measure the gas flow passing through. When the stirring work is completed, the staff checks the flow value of the gas flow meter 15 through the controller 2 to know the amount of water vapor and dust adsorbed by the plastic particles (the larger the flow value, the larger the amount of water vapor and dust). When the amount of water vapor and dust is too large, the staff should promptly check the storage environment of the plastic particles or the previous process to improve the storage environment of the plastic particles or improve the processing quality of the previous work, reduce the amount of dust and water vapor in the plastic particles that need to be stirred later, thereby helping to improve the preparation quality of subsequent plastic products.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
