[0032] In a preferred embodiment, a partition 32 is provided on each circle of collecting pipes to divide the collecting pipes into several independent small sections, and each small section of the collecting pipes is connected to at least one delivery pipe for delivering or outputting the heat exchange medium, such as Figure 3 As shown, three partitions are provided on the water inlet collecting pipe I18, the water inlet collecting pipe II 20, the water outlet collecting pipe I19 and the water outlet collecting pipe II 21, which divide the water inlet collecting pipe I18, the water inlet collecting pipe II 20, the water outlet collecting pipe I19 and the water outlet collecting pipe II 21 into three independent cavities, and each independent cavity is connected to an inlet conveying pipe or an outlet conveying pipe for fluid transportation in the independent cavity, which is beneficial to the inflow of water and the outflow of water.

[0033] The feeding device includes a feeding pipe 2 and a feeding screw 1. The discharge port of the feeding pipe 2 is connected to the feeding port of the feeding screw 1. The discharge port of the feeding screw 1 is connected to the feeding interface on the feeding end plate 29. Specifically, they can be connected by bolts and a certain sealing structure. This is a conventional technology in the field. Those skilled in the art can select a suitable connection method according to actual conditions.

[0034] The discharge device 8 is close to one side of the discharge end plate 17 and is connected to the fuselage barrel 6. A discharge port 28 is provided at the bottom of the discharge device 8.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, a knocker 3 is also provided on the fuselage barrel 6 .

[0038] When the equipment is in operation, the material enters the body barrel 6 from the feed pipe 2 under the driving action of the feed screw 1. The material moves in the body barrel 6 and fully contacts with the inlet and outlet water tubes to perform efficient heat exchange. When the equipment is in operation, the heat exchange medium enters the outer cavity of the distribution shaft 22 from the rotary joint. The distribution shaft 22 distributes the heat exchange medium to each water inlet delivery pipe on the circumference. The water inlet delivery pipe delivers the heat exchange medium to the water inlet collection pipe, and then flows to each water inlet tube in the barrel through the water inlet collection pipe. The heat exchange medium in the water inlet tube is heated by the heat transfer effect of the tube wall and the heat exchange medium in the barrel is heated by the heat transfer effect of the tube wall. The heat exchange is completed by the material, and at the same time, the heat exchange fluid medium in the water inlet tube flows to the return water tube through the connecting pipe 30 under the action of the rear pressure, and the heat exchange medium in the return water tube also completes a certain heat exchange, and then is collected in the return water collecting pipe, and the fluid medium after heat exchange is transported to the inner circle cavity of the distribution shaft 22 through the return water delivery pipe, and finally flows to the external rotary joint to form a whole process loop; in this process, the precise temperature control of the material can be achieved by controlling the temperature and pressure of the inlet and outlet water, the feed amount of the material, and the speed of the main machine.

[0039] Of course, the present invention may have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, technicians familiar with the field may make various corresponding changes and deformations based on the present invention, but these corresponding changes and deformations should all fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
