[0002] In the traditional extruder screw structure, the design of the screw is mostly single-segment or a small number of segments, and the processing effect of the material is limited to a large extent. In the prior art, although the screw of the extruder can meet the processing requirements of plastics to a certain extent, there are problems such as a large floor area of the production line, an overly long production line length, and poor adaptability to different material shapes.

[0019] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 - 3 As shown, the present invention provides a barrel-screw structure for an extruder, including a first barrel 1. A second barrel 2 and a third barrel 3 are sequentially arranged on the left side of the first barrel 1. A screw 4 is arranged in the first barrel 1, the second barrel 2, and the third barrel 3. A feed inlet 11 is provided on the first barrel 1. The first barrel 1 and the second barrel 2 are fixedly connected by a first screw 8, and the second barrel 2 and the third barrel 3 are fixedly connected by a second screw 9. The segmented design of the barrel improves the convenience of later maintenance, makes the replacement and cleaning of the screw and barrel components more convenient, and at the same time controls the cost of barrel maintenance. At the same time, the material enters the large-diameter feeding section 5 of the screw 4 through the feed inlet 11 of the first barrel 1.
[0021] The surface of the screw 4 is provided with screw ridges 41. The front section of the screw 4 is set as a large-diameter feeding section 5, and the large-diameter feeding section 5 is located below the feed inlet 1. In the large-diameter feeding section 5, the outer diameter of the screw ridges 41 of the screw 4 is large, and the groove depth of the screw ridges 41 is deep. In the large-diameter feeding section 5, the material enters the barrel through the feed inlet 11 of the first barrel 1, and the feeding is realized through the spiral propulsion of the screw 4. In the large-diameter feeding section 5, the groove of the screw ridge 41 of the screw 4 is deepened for good feeding, and the feeding stroke is shortened, ensuring that when the material enters the extruder, it can smoothly pass through the feed inlet 11 and be effectively grasped by the screw 4. Through this design, the extruder can adapt to processing fluffy and irregularly shaped granular materials, ensuring stable feeding of the material.
[0022] The middle section of the screw 4 is set as an outer-diameter gradual change section 6, in which the outer diameter of the screw 4 gradually changes from a large diameter to a small diameter. In the outer-diameter gradual change section 6, the outer diameter of the screw ridges 41 of the screw 4 gradually changes from a large diameter to a small diameter along with the change of the outer diameter of the screw 4, and the groove of the screw ridges 41 of the screw 4 gradually becomes shallower from deep. The outer-diameter gradual change section 6 is connected to the large-diameter feeding section 5. The outer diameter of the screw 4 in the outer-diameter gradual change section 6 gradually changes from a large diameter to a small diameter. At the same time, the tooth groove on the screw 4 gradually becomes shallower from deep along with the diameter change of the screw 4, forming high compression and gradual plasticization. The outer diameter gradual change section 6 enables the material to be compressed at this stage, promoting the effective plasticization of the material under high pressure, effectively optimizing the fluidity and plasticization effect of the material, and ensuring the uniformity and quality of the material.
[0023] The rear section of the screw 4 is set as a small outer diameter discharging section 7, and the groove of the screw edge 41 of the screw 4 in the small outer diameter discharging section 7 is set quantitatively; The small outer diameter discharging section 7 is connected to the outer diameter gradual change section 6. In the small outer diameter discharging section 7, the groove of the screw edge 41 on the screw 4 extrudes and forms with constant pressure and quantity. At the same time, various mixing units can be added at the end of the small outer diameter screw to stir and mix to enhance the quality of the material finished product; The small outer diameter discharging section 7 ensures the stable discharging and quantitative output of the material through the quantitatively structured screw edge 41 groove. The material is finally compressed in this section and discharged through a precise quantitative control system to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the finished product.
[0024] The inner diameters of the three-section barrel change in the same way as the large and small outer diameters of the screw and are precisely and closely fitted for the forming and processing of various materials; Compared with the plastic machine screw components on the existing market, it has the same multi-section spiral propulsion effect, can effectively improve the coherence of plastic extrusion, the large and small diameters are suitable for more material shapes, can shorten the production line length and save floor area, the barrel is segmented for convenient later maintenance, low cost, and is applicable to more plastic extrusion molding products.
[0025] When the barrel and screw structure for an extruder of the present invention is in use, the first barrel 1, the second barrel 2 and the third barrel 3 are fixedly assembled by the first screw 8 and the second screw 9. The material enters the barrel through the feed port 11 on the first barrel 1. The screw 4 in the large outer diameter feeding section 5 in the barrel grabs the material, and realizes feeding through the spiral propulsion of the screw 4. The material enters the outer diameter gradual change section 6 along with the push of the screw 4. The screw 4 in the outer diameter gradual change section 6 gradually changes from a large outer diameter to a small outer diameter. At the same time, the tooth groove on the screw 4 changes from deep to shallow along with the diameter change of the screw 4. The material is compressed in the outer diameter gradual change section 6, promoting the effective plasticization of the material under high pressure. The plasticized material finally enters the small outer diameter discharging section 7 along with the push of the screw 4. Through the quantitatively structured screw edge 41 groove on the screw 4 in the small outer diameter discharging section 7, the stable discharging and quantitative output of the material are ensured, and the material is finally compressed in this section.
