Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of extruders, in particular to a constant-flow granulating extruder and a method for recycling waste plastics. Background Art

[0002] After extrusion, the extruded strip material needs to be cooled and solidified before being cut into pellets. Rapid cooling causes residual stress in crystalline materials (such as PE and PP), which may lead to cracking in the product. Therefore, the existing cooling methods mainly use water cooling and air cooling for gradual cooling. Water cooling is a staged cooling method (hot water → warm water → cold water), which is suitable for crystalline materials such as PE / PP and can effectively eliminate internal stress. Air cooling uses forced air cooling with a fan and is suitable for small and medium-sized extruders. Its advantages are uniformity and cleanliness, but it takes up a lot of space. For example, the prior art publication number CN112454860A discloses a waste plastic recycling and granulation production equipment, which includes an extruder, a hopper, a melting screw and an extrusion screw. The extruder is provided with two sets of chutes and slideways corresponding to the position above the hopper, and the slideways are movably connected to the cylinder through a slider. In this waste plastic recycling and granulation production equipment, when the molten plastic moves with the rotation of the extrusion screw, two filter materials are inserted into the groove of the extrusion screw in turn to filter out the plastic or impurities that are not completely melted, increase the purity of the melt, and improve the quality of the recycled plastic. Secondly, the airflow generated by the movement of the cylinder is used to squeeze the plastic on the inner wall of the hopper, so that one side of the plastic that has bridged is suspended in the air, thereby assisting the movement of the plastic fragments in the hopper. Secondly, the rapid pulsed airflow will also increase the disturbance of the plastic fragments, further reducing the probability of bridge formation and increasing the conveying speed of the broken fragments to make them compatible with the processing speed of the granulator. The defects of the existing technology are: after gradual cooling by water cooling, the cold water will cause residual moisture on the surface of the particles to form a water film on the surface of the plastic particles, and the water film needs to be air-dried separately. The cooling time of the existing technology through water cooling is relatively long, so the length of the water cooling pool is also very long, and the site occupancy rate is very high.

[0022] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of the present invention and are used to explain the principles of the present invention together with the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1: Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a constant flow granulation extruder for recycling waste plastics, including a feed box 1, which can be fixed to the ground by bolts and a base. A drive motor 2 is provided on one side of the feed box 1, and an extrusion barrel 3 is provided on the other side of the feed box 1. A screw 4 is provided inside the extrusion barrel 3, and the output shaft of the drive motor 2 is connected to one end of the screw 4 through a transmission (not shown in the figure), so that the drive motor 2 can drive the screw 4 to rotate.

[0024] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, a cooling box 5 is provided at the discharge end of the extrusion barrel 3. One end of the cooling box 5 is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the extrusion barrel 3. The interior of the cooling box 5 is filled with a heat-conducting liquid, which can be water or heat-conducting oil; a liquid inlet pipe 6 and a liquid outlet pipe 7 are connected to one side of the cooling box 5. The liquid inlet pipe 6 and the liquid outlet pipe 7 are respectively fixed at the upper and lower ends of one side of the cooling box 5, and can respectively realize liquid inlet and liquid outlet. The other ends of the liquid inlet pipe 6 and the liquid outlet pipe 7 pass through the rear of the cooling box 5 and are connected to the heat dissipation water tank 8 behind the cooling box 5. The interior of the liquid inlet pipe 6 and the liquid outlet pipe 7 are connected to the interior of the heat dissipation water tank 8. The outer wall of the heat dissipation water tank 8 is connected with a heat dissipation fin. A circulating pump (not shown in the figure) is provided on the liquid inlet pipe 6 or the liquid outlet pipe 7. The heat-conducting liquid inside the cooling box 5 can be circulated by the circulating pump, so that the hot water inside the cooling box 5 is injected into the interior of the heat dissipation water tank 8, and then the external cold air is heat-exchanged with the heat in the heat dissipation water tank 8 through the heat dissipation fins, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation of the heat-conducting liquid.

[0025] It should be noted that, in the above solution, the internal structure of the heat dissipation water tank 8 is a multi-layer plate structure, which can make the running track of the heat transfer liquid be "S" shaped.

[0026] like Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8As shown, a cooling jacket 9 is provided inside the cooling box 5, and a plurality of cooling holes 12 are provided around the cooling jacket 9. A die head 10 is provided between the cooling box 5 and the extrusion barrel 3. The die head 10 is fixedly connected to the discharge end of the extrusion barrel 3. A plurality of extrusion holes 11 are opened around the die head 10, and the number and position of the extrusion holes 11 correspond to the cooling holes 12; an air jacket 13 is provided between the die head 10 and the cooling jacket 9, and the air jacket 13 is rotatably mounted on the end of the die head 10 close to the cooling jacket 9 through a bearing, and the end of the die head 10 close to the air jacket 13 is fixedly connected to a first support block 14, and the outer wall of the air jacket 13 is fixedly connected to a second support block 15, and the first support block 14 and the second support block 15 are arranged on the same plumb line, and the bottom of the first support block 14 is fixedly connected to a telescopic rod 16, and the telescopic end of the bottom of the telescopic rod 16 is against the top of the second support block 15; the outer wall of the air jacket 13 is also connected to a third support block 17, and the outer wall of the die head 10 is connected to a fourth support block 18.

[0027] like Figure 6 As shown, a spring 19 is connected between the fourth support block 18 and the third support block 17. The spring 19 is in a contracted state by default. In this state, the spring 19 can keep the air sleeve 13 as shown. Figure 6 In the state shown, when the telescopic rod 16 is quantitatively extended, the bottom end of the telescopic rod 16 can exert pressure on the second support block 15, thereby driving the second support block 15 and the air sleeve 13 to rotate at a small angle.

[0028] like Figure 7 As shown, a plurality of through holes 21 are provided around the air jacket 13, and the positions and numbers of the through holes 21 correspond to the extrusion holes 11. A countersunk hole 22 is provided between every two adjacent through holes 21, and one end of the countersunk hole 22 is closed, and the open end of the countersunk hole 22 faces the cooling jacket 9; in the above scheme, when the air jacket 13 and the spring 19 are in the default state, the plurality of through holes 21 are concentric with the extrusion hole 11 and the cooling hole 12, and when the telescopic rod 16 drives the second support block 15 and the air jacket 13 to rotate to the set maximum angle, the countersunk hole 22 is concentric with the extrusion hole 11 and the cooling hole 12; an annular groove 23 is provided around the air jacket 13, and a plurality of countersunk holes 22 are connected to the annular groove 23, and an air inlet pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the air jacket 13, and the air inlet pipe 20 is a hose, and the top of the air inlet pipe 20 is connected to the air pump (not shown in the figure).

[0029] like Figure 8 As shown, the end of the cooling sleeve 9 away from the die head 10 is connected to a cooling cylinder 24. The number and inner diameter of the cooling cylinder 24 correspond to the plurality of cooling holes 12. The outer wall of the cooling cylinder 24 is provided with a plurality of through holes, which are used to allow the heat transfer liquid to directly enter the cooling cylinder 24.

[0030] In the above scheme, in the default state, the screw 4 in the extrusion barrel 3 is continuously driven by the driving motor 2 to continuously extrude the plastic raw material from the extrusion hole 11 on the die head 10 to form a strip of plastic raw material. When the strip of raw material fills the cooling hole 12 and the cooling cylinder 24, the telescopic rod 16 extends downward so that the bottom end of the telescopic rod 16 abuts against the second support block 15, thereby driving the air sleeve 13 to rotate to the set maximum angle. At this time, the through hole 21 on the air sleeve 13 and the cooling hole 12 on the cooling sleeve 9 are staggered, so that the countersunk hole 22 and the cooling hole 12 are in a concentric state, and in the process of rotation of the air sleeve 13, the part of the raw material extruded is just cut off. At this time, the screw 4 also stops rotating, and since both the cooling jacket 9 and the cooling cylinder 24 are immersed in the heat transfer fluid, the raw material is first cooled initially by the heat transfer fluid when passing through the cooling hole 12 on the cooling jacket 9, so that the paste-like raw material is initially solidified, and then when passing through the cooling cylinder 24, the strip-shaped raw material directly contacts the heat transfer fluid and directly exchanges heat to further cool the raw material. In this scheme, since the cooling jacket 9 is indirectly cooled, the raw material will not shrink rapidly (thermal expansion and contraction), but will gradually cool down. Although the cooling cylinder 24 is directly cooled, the temperature of the heat transfer fluid is controllable, so it will not cool down suddenly, thereby ensuring the physical properties of the plastic raw material.

[0031] After completing the above operations, start the air pump, which will push the compressed gas into the cooling hole 12 from the air inlet pipe 20, the annular groove 23 and the countersunk hole 22 in sequence. Under the blowing of the gas, the plastic strip raw materials in the cooling hole 12 and the cooling cylinder 24 are blown into the next process.

[0032] Example 2: This example differs from Example 1 in that the following steps are described for the plastic strip material after preliminary cooling: like Figure 8 、 Figure 9As shown, the cooling box 5 is fixedly connected to a granulation box 25 at one end away from the extrusion barrel 3, and a rotating shaft 26 is rotatably installed in the middle of the granulation box 25. The other end of the rotating shaft 26 is rotatably installed in the middle of the die head 10. A granulation cavity 28 is opened inside the granulation box 25, and a plurality of feed holes 29 are opened at one end of the granulation cavity 28 close to the cooling cylinder 24. The number and position of the feed holes 29 correspond to those of the cooling cylinder 24, and the inner diameter of the feed hole 29 is larger than the inner diameter of the cooling cylinder 24, so as to facilitate the entry of the strip raw material into the granulation cavity 28. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 26 is connected to a plurality of spoilers 27. The spoiler 27 is used to The purpose is to disturb the heat transfer liquid when the rotating shaft 26 rotates, so that the heat transfer liquid can flow fully, thereby avoiding heat accumulation inside the cooling cylinder 24 and improving the heat exchange efficiency between the raw material and the heat transfer liquid. A blade 30 is provided inside the granulation chamber 28. The blade 30 is provided on one side of a plurality of feed holes 29. The plurality of blades 30 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 26. As the raw material is pushed in by the gas, the rotating shaft rotates under the drive source, so that the blade 30 rotates, cutting the hardened strip raw material, and cutting the strip raw material into particles of uniform size, thereby achieving the granulation effect.

[0033] like Figure 9 、 Figure 10 As shown, a stirring blade 31 is also provided inside the granulation chamber 28. The width of the stirring blade 31 matches the width of the granulation chamber 28. There are several stirring blades 31, and several stirring blades 31 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 26. The stirring blades 31 fully stir the granulated raw materials to prevent them from sticking to each other.

[0034] like Figure 10 As shown, a blowing chamber 32 is further provided inside the granulation box 25, and two fans 33 are provided inside the blowing chamber 32. The two fans 33 rotate under the drive of the driving device to generate wind force, and the wind force is converted into cold air through the cooling pipe 34 and blown into the inside of the granulation chamber 28, so as to finally cool the granules after granulation, and ensure that the cut parts of the granules are completely cooled and solidified. The specific working mechanism of the cooling pipe 34 is: a compressor refrigerator is set outside to generate cold air and transmit it to the cooling pipe 34.

[0035] like Figure 8 、 Figure 10 As shown, when the cold air passes through the cooling pipe 34, it can also pass through the semiconductor refrigeration plate 36, and the semiconductor refrigeration plate 36 is connected to the bottom of the semiconductor refrigerator 35, thereby further cooling.

[0036] like Figure 11As shown, as a way to drive the fans 33 to rotate, a driven gear 37 is connected to the shaft of one of the fans 33, and a driving gear 39 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 26. The driving gear 39 is engaged with the driven gear 37, so that when the rotating shaft 26 rotates, it can drive one of the fans 33 to rotate. A transmission wheel 40 is connected to the shafts of the two fans 33, and the two transmission wheels 40 are connected by a transmission belt 41. The transmission wheel 40 can be specifically a pulley or a sprocket, and the transmission belt 41 can be specifically a belt or a chain, so that the two fans 33 can rotate synchronously, and blow air into the blowing chamber 32 from the person.

[0037] like Figure 12 As shown, after the plastic particles are fully cooled in the granulation chamber 28, they can be discharged from the discharge port 42, wherein the discharge port 42 is tilted at the bottom of the granulation chamber 28, so that the plastic particles can roll and discharge, and an arc-shaped plate 43 is provided at one end of the discharge port 42 closer to the granulation chamber 28. The arc-shaped plate 43 can just match the curvature of the granulation chamber 28, so that a complete circular cavity is formed inside the granulation chamber 28. The arc-shaped plate 43 is hingedly installed at the bottom of the granulation chamber 28, and an energized spring 44 is connected between the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 43 and the bottom of the discharge port 42. In the default state, the energized plate 43 can be kept closed. When the energized spring 44 is energized and contracted, the arc-shaped plate 43 can be opened to allow the material to be discharged.

[0038] Example 3: This example differs from Example 1 and Example 2 in that it provides a constant-flow granulation extrusion method for recycling waste plastics, comprising the following steps: S1. When the pelletizer is in operation, the drive motor 2 rotates the screw 4 through the transmission, conveying the waste plastic raw material from the feed box 1 to the extrusion barrel 3. Under the extrusion of the screw 4, the molten plastic passes through the extrusion hole 11 of the die head 10 to form a strip of material, and then enters the cooling jacket 9 of the cooling box 5. At this time, the air jacket 13 is in the default position, and its through hole 21 maintains a concentric channel with the extrusion hole 11 and cooling hole 12 of the die head 10; The strip material passes through the cooling holes 12 of the cooling jacket 9 and the extended cooling cylinder 24 in sequence, and undergoes two cooling stages during this process: Indirect slow cooling stage: Indirect heat exchange is carried out at the cooling jacket 9 through the heat transfer liquid. The coolant circulates between the heat dissipation water tank 8 and the cooling box 5 through the liquid inlet pipe 6 and the liquid outlet pipe 7 to initially solidify the surface of the material; Direct shaping stage: the material is in direct contact with the circulating coolant in the cooling cylinder 24, and the through holes on the outer wall of the cooling cylinder 24 accelerate heat exchange to complete the shaping of the material; S2. When the material fills the cooling channel, telescopic rod 16 pushes down, rotating air jacket 13 and stretching spring 19. Now, countersunk hole 22 of air jacket 13 aligns with cooling hole 12, and through hole 21 is misaligned with extrusion hole 11. The rotation of air jacket 13 severs the strips of material. Once the strips are severed, the air pump activates, injecting compressed air through inlet pipe 20, annular groove 23, and countersunk hole 22 into cooling hole 12, blowing the solidified plastic strips into feed hole 29 of pelletizing box 25. In the granulation chamber 28: The rotating shaft 26 drives the blade 30 to rotate and cut the strip material, and the stirring blade 31 prevents the particles from sticking together; The semiconductor cooling plate 36 deeply cools the air flow in the blowing cavity 32 through the cooling pipe 34, and the two fans 33 rotate synchronously via the transmission belt 41 to enhance the cooling effect; S3. The granules after granulation are accumulated at the bottom of the granulation chamber 28. When the set output is reached, the energized spring 44 contracts to open the arc plate 43, and the granules roll out along the inclined discharge port 42.
