Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cable preparation, and particularly to a polypropylene insulated cable extruder. Background Art
[0002] The manufacturing process of polypropylene insulated cables is that polypropylene cable materials are extruded by an extruder onto a stranded conductor and then cooled by a water cooling device to obtain polypropylene cables. The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN119626675A in the prior art proposes an insulating layer extruder for cable manufacturing. The extruder body is fixedly installed at the upper end of a bracket. The extruder body includes a housing. A rotating shaft is provided at the center of the housing. One end of the rotating shaft passes through the housing and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a speed changer. A transmission gear is fixedly connected to the input shaft of the speed changer. The transmission gear meshes with a gear on the output shaft of a motor fixedly connected to the bracket. The spiral direction of the spiral plate II is opposite to that of the spiral plate I and the spiral plate III. And a movable device is fixedly connected to the opposite surface of the spiral plate II and the spiral plate I. This extruder can push the raw materials that have not reached the molten state towards the spiral plate I by the rotation of the spiral plate II until they reach the molten state and then flow through the perforation to the position of the spiral plate III.
[0003] It uses the spiral II and the spiral plate I with opposite conveying directions to convey the molten raw materials and filter the unmolten raw materials, inevitably causing the raw materials to produce a head-on collision, affecting the reliable conveying of the raw materials. Although there are perforations on the spiral II, the unmolten raw materials will block the perforations for a short time, resulting in untimely feeding or even material cut-off, leading to poor working reliability of the above-mentioned extruder. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a polypropylene insulated cable extruder that separates the conveyance of molten raw materials and the reflux of unmolten raw materials, avoids hindering the conveyance of raw materials, and improves the reliability of the extruder.
[0005] A polypropylene-insulated cable extruder of the present invention includes an extruder main body, an extrusion motor, an extrusion head, an extruder auxiliary machine, and two track mechanisms. A heater is installed on the extruder main body. A melting chamber is arranged inside the extruder main body. A feeding port communicating with the melting chamber is arranged at one end of the extruder main body close to the extrusion motor. A discharging port communicating with the melting chamber is arranged at the other end of the extruder main body. The extrusion head is installed on the discharging port of the extruder main body. The extruder auxiliary machine is located outside the output end of the extrusion head. Two track mechanisms are oppositely installed on the extruder auxiliary machine. The two track mechanisms are used for cooling and conveying the cable. It also includes a first screw feeder, a filter plate, a reflux channel, and a second screw feeder. The first screw feeder is rotatably installed in the melting chamber of the extruder main body. The output shaft of the extrusion motor is in transmission connection with the first screw feeder. Two sections of first screw blades are arranged on the outer wall of the first screw feeder. The filter plate is installed in the middle and rear part of the melting chamber of the extruder main body. The first screw blades at both ends of the first screw feeder are respectively located on both sides of the filter plate. The reflux channel is installed at the bottom of the extruder main body. The inlet of the reflux channel is located below the filter plate. The outlet of the reflux channel is located at one end of the extruder main body close to the extrusion motor. The second screw feeder is rotatably installed in the reflux channel. A second screw blade is arranged on the outer wall of the second screw feeder. The second screw feeder is in transmission connection with the output shaft of the extrusion motor through a transmission component. During operation, the conductor core passes through the channel of the extrusion head. The polypropylene raw material enters the melting chamber of the extruder main body through the feeding hole. The extrusion motor drives the first screw feeder and the second screw feeder to rotate. The first section of the first screw blade of the first screw feeder pushes the raw material towards the discharging port. The raw material is heated and melted during the conveying process. The filter plate filters the raw material. The qualified melted raw material passes through the filter holes of the filter plate and is pushed out of the discharging port by the second section of the first screw blade of the first screw feeder and enters the extrusion head and wraps around the conductor core to form a cable. After the cable exits the extrusion head, it is rolled and shaped by the two track mechanisms and conveyed to the next working station backward. At the same time, the cooling water tank and the spraying mechanism on the extruder auxiliary machine cool down the cable. During this process, the unmolten and unqualified raw material particles intercepted by the filter plate are prevented from blocking the filter holes of the filter plate under the scraping action of the end of the first screw blade of the first screw feeder. And the unmolten and unqualified raw material particles will fall to the bottom of the melting chamber of the extruder main body under the action of gravity and enter the reflux channel through the inlet. The rotating second screw feeder conveys the mixture of the unmolten raw material and the melted raw material in the reflux channel in the reverse direction and makes the mixture return to the melting chamber of the extruder main body through the outlet of the reflux channel to be heated and melted again. Compared with the prior art, the conveying and reflux of the raw material are carried out separately, which will not cause the phenomenon of raw material counterflow in the melting chamber of the extruder main body, avoid hindering the raw material conveying, avoid the situation of untimely feeding and material breakage caused by the blockage of the filter holes by the unmolten raw material, and improve the working reliability of the extruder.

By arranging the plurality of scraping plates to scrape the side of the filter plate and the inner wall of the extruder body, the plurality of scraping plates scrape off the raw material particles intercepted on the filter plate and guide them outward under the action of centrifugal force, finally enabling the raw material particles to enter the reflux channel more efficiently through the inlet, thereby improving the reflux efficiency of solid particles.

The two track mechanisms 5 are used for cooling and conveying the cable. It also includes a first screw feeder 6, a filter plate 7, a reflux channel 8, and a second screw feeder 9. The first screw feeder 6 is rotatably installed in the melting chamber of the extruder main body 1. The output shaft of the extrusion motor 2 is in transmission connection with the first screw feeder 6. Two sections of first screw blades are provided on the outer wall of the first screw feeder 6. The filter plate 7 is installed in the middle and rear part of the melting chamber of the extruder main body 1. The two ends of the first screw blades of the first screw feeder 6 are respectively located on both sides of the filter plate 7. The reflux channel 8 is installed at the bottom of the extruder main body 1. The inlet of the reflux channel 8 is located below the filter plate 7. The outlet of the reflux channel 8 is located at one end of the extruder main body 1 close to the extrusion motor 2. The second screw feeder 9 is rotatably installed in the reflux channel 8. A second screw blade is provided on the outer wall of the second screw feeder 9. The second screw feeder 9 is in transmission connection with the output shaft of the extrusion motor 2 through a transmission assembly. It also includes a plurality of scraping plates 10. The plurality of scraping plates 10 are evenly installed on the outer wall of the first screw feeder 6 in a circumferential manner. The plurality of scraping plates 10 all scrape the side of the filter plate 7 facing the extrusion motor 2. The outer ends of the plurality of scraping plates 10 all scrape the inner wall of the extruder main body 1. It also includes two hoppers 11, a three-way valve 12, and two cover plates 13. Both of the two hoppers 11 are provided with a storage chamber. Both of the two hoppers 11 are provided with an upper feeding port communicating with the discharge chamber. Both of the two hoppers 11 are provided with a lower discharge port communicating with the discharge chamber. The lower discharge ports of the two hoppers 11 are respectively communicated with the first channel and the second channel of the three-way valve 12. The third channel of the three-way valve 12 is communicated with the feeding port of the extruder main body 1. The two cover plates 13 are respectively installed in the storage chambers of the two hoppers 11 in a liftable and slidable manner through the two upper feeding ports. A sliding seal is provided between the edges of the two cover plates 13 and the inner walls of the storage chambers of the two hoppers 11. It also includes an exhaust pipe 14 and a heat-resistant diaphragm 15. The exhaust pipe 14 is installed on the top of the extruder main body 1. The lower end of the exhaust pipe 14 is communicated with the melting chamber of the extruder main body 1. The heat-resistant diaphragm 15 is installed inside the exhaust pipe 14. A joint is provided at the upper end of the exhaust pipe 14.
[0020] During operation, the conductor core passes through the channel of the extrusion head 3. The two hoppers 11 form a two-station. By switching the channel connection mode of the three-way valve 12, raw materials can be alternately conveyed to the main body 1 of the extruder to achieve continuous feeding. By providing two cover plates 13, the entry of impurities in the air into the raw materials in the two hoppers 11 is reduced, pollution is reduced, and the quality of the cable insulation layer is improved; the polypropylene raw materials enter the melting chamber of the main body 1 of the extruder through the feeding hole. The extrusion motor 2 drives the first screw feeder 6 and the second screw feeder 9 to rotate. The first spiral blade of the first section of the first screw feeder 6 pushes the raw materials towards the discharge port.

After the cable exits the extrusion head 3, it is rolled and shaped by the two track mechanisms 5 and conveyed to the next station. At the same time, the cooling water tank and spraying mechanism on the auxiliary machine 4 of the extruder cool down the cable; during this process, the connector of the air extraction pipe 14 is connected to an external air extraction system. The air extraction system extracts the gas impurities in the melting chamber of the main body 1 of the extruder through the air extraction pipe 14, reduces the impurity bubbles in the raw materials, and avoids the conductive components in the impurity gas from affecting the insulation performance, improving the quality of the cable insulation layer. The unmolten and unqualified raw material particles intercepted by the filter plate 7 are scraped by multiple scraping plates 10 on the side of the filter plate 7 and the inner wall of the main body 1 of the extruder.

Finally, the raw material particles can enter the reflux channel 8 more efficiently through the inlet. The rotating second screw feeder 9 conveys the mixture of the unmolten raw materials and the melted raw materials in the reflux channel 8 in the reverse direction, and the mixture returns to the melting chamber of the main body 1 of the extruder through the outlet of the reflux channel 8 and is heated and melted again. Compared with the prior art, the conveying and reflux of the raw materials are carried out separately, and there will be no impact phenomenon of the raw materials in the melting chamber of the main body 1 of the extruder, avoiding obstacles to the raw material conveying, avoiding the situation of untimely feeding and material breakage caused by the blockage of the filter holes by the unmolten raw materials, and improving the working reliability of the extruder.

The auxiliary material tank 20 is installed on the extruder main body 1. An auxiliary material storage chamber is arranged inside the auxiliary material tank 20. The piston cylinder 21 is installed at the bottom of the auxiliary material storage chamber of the auxiliary material tank 20. A long strip opening is arranged at the upper part of the piston cylinder 21. An auxiliary material output pipe is arranged at the left end of the piston cylinder 21. The auxiliary material output pipe is connected to the auxiliary material interface of the annular sleeve 16. The arc plate 22 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the upper part of the piston cylinder 21. The left end of the arc plate 22 is rotatably connected to the left end of the piston cylinder 21 through a rotating shaft. The two ends of the torsion spring 24 are respectively connected to the arc plate 22 and the piston cylinder 21. The torsion of the torsion spring 24 makes the arc plate 22 close the long strip opening of the piston cylinder 21. A lever 23 is arranged at the right end of the arc plate 22. The lever 23 extends into the inside of the right end of the piston cylinder 21. The push rod mechanism 25 is installed on the outer wall of the auxiliary material tank 20.

When the piston rod of the push rod mechanism 25 contracts to the right, it drives the piston plate 26 to move to the right in the piston cylinder 21. When the piston plate 26 reaches the right end of the piston cylinder 21, the guiding surface of the push block 27 starts to squeeze the lever 23, thereby driving the lever 23 to rotate around the piston rod of the push rod mechanism 25. The lever 23 drives the arc plate 22 to rotate to one side of the piston cylinder 21 to open the long strip opening, so that the auxiliary material particles enter the piston cylinder 21. At this time, the piston rod of the push rod mechanism 25 extends to the left, the piston plate 26 drives the push block 27 to move to the left. After the push block 27 disengages from the lever 23, the arc plate 22 closes the long strip opening of the piston cylinder 21 under the action of the torsion of the torsion spring 24.

Then, the extrusion motor 2 drives the first screw feeder 6 and the second screw feeder 9 to rotate.
