Description

[0002] An extruder is a conventional rubber and plastic processing mechanical equipment, which is widely used in polymer blending, filling modification, regeneration and extrusion molding. When the extruder is used, a temperature control mechanism is needed to heat and control the temperature of the raw materials.

[0003] The current temperature control mechanism of the extruder barrel adopts an electric heating ring, a cooling system and a temperature sensor to cooperate in temperature control. The cooling system realizes heat conduction cooling through closed circulation, that is, the high-temperature heat conduction oil absorbs heat from the barrel jacket or the screw cooling channel, and then flows into the heat exchanger to exchange heat with the external cooling water (or air). However, when the heat conduction oil flows in the jacket or the screw cooling channel, the heat conduction oil first conducts heat and then moves.

[0056] Optionally, the fixed frame 6 is made of cast iron, the depths of the first groove 8, the second groove 10, the third groove 12 and the fourth groove 14 are 15mm, and the widths are 20mm, and the inner walls of the grooves are sprayed with ceramic coating to enhance wear resistance. The heat-conducting sheets 16 are copper alloy, which are fixed in the inner walls of the grooves through bolts to ensure close contact with the extruder cylinder 4.

[0057] The rated power of the servo motor 22 driving the cooling unit is 0.5 kW, and the rotating speed is 1500 rpm; the pitch of the positive and negative toothed rod 21 is 5 mm, and the stroke is 200 mm; the moving speed of the L-shaped movable plate 24 is adjusted by a PID controller (range 0.1-0.5 m / s). The inner diameter of the cooling pipe 48 of the movable rod 44 is 8 mm, and the wall thickness is 1.5 mm; the flow rate of the external water circulation system is set to 5 L / min, and the water inlet temperature is ≤25℃; the rotary joint 45 is made of stainless steel;

[0058] The temperature detector 57 monitors the temperature of the extruder barrel 4 in real time, and the threshold is set to 200℃. When the temperature exceeds the threshold, the microprocessor starts the first oil pump 38 and the servo motor 22. The microprocessor can optionally use an ARM Cortex-M4 core, run a PID algorithm and a machine learning module (training data comes from historical temperature records). The sampling frequency of the temperature detector 57 is 100 Hz, and the accuracy is ±0.5℃.

[0059] The first oil pump 38 draws heat-conducting oil from the oil tank 3, injects it into the shunt pipe 7 through the connecting pipe 39, and controls the flow rate at 10 L / min.

[0060] The servo motor 22 drives the positive and negative toothed rod 21 to rotate clockwise, and the L-shaped movable plate 24 moves to the right. The first trapezoidal block 25 presses the roller, and the movable rod 17 pushes the sealing partition plate 19 to block the first through hole 9. The heat-conducting oil only enters the first groove 8.

[0061] After the heat absorption is completed, the L-shaped movable plate 24 drives the threaded rod 33 through the rack 36 and the circular gear 37, so that the back-shaped piston 31 moves and opens the oil drain hole 30. The heat-conducting oil flows into the back-shaped discharge cavity 29 under the action of gravity, and the second oil pump 40 pumps the oil into the treatment tank 42 through the flow pipe 41.

[0062] In the cooling element, the movable rod 44 is driven by the reciprocating screw rod 49, and the cooling pipe 48 is cooled by water circulation. After cooling, the oil returns to the oil tank 3 through the oil drain pipe 47.

[0063] Example 2:

[0064] The servo motor 22 is replaced by a stepper motor, the reciprocating screw rod 49 of the cooling element is driven by an independent stepper motor, the rotating speed range is 5-30 rpm, pressure sensors are added in the oil drain hole 30 and the treatment tank 42 to monitor the flow resistance of the oil. When the barrel temperature is <150℃, only the first groove 8 and the third groove 12 are started. When the temperature is >200℃, all grooves are operated, the moving speed of the sealing partition plate 19 is adaptively adjusted according to the temperature gradient, and after the temperature is stable, the electric valve part of the oil drain pipe 47 is partially closed to maintain the minimum circulation.

[0065] The working principle of the device is as follows: before use, first place the heat-conducting oil into the oil tank 3, then connect the movable pipe and the fixed pipe 46 with the external cooling water circulating device, and then start the heating jacket 5. The start of the heating jacket 5 will make the heating rod inside the heating jacket 5 heat the raw materials inside the extruder barrel 4, so as to process the raw materials.

[0066] When the temperature is too high, the temperature detector 57 detects and sends a signal, at which time the servo motor 22 and the first oil pump 38 output, and the first oil pump 38 output will input the heat conducting oil in the oil tank 3 into the distribution pipe 7 through the connecting pipe 39, at which time the second trapezoidal block 26, the third trapezoidal block 27 and the fourth trapezoidal block 28 are extruded, and the three pairs of sealing partitions 19 located above block the second through hole 11, the third through hole 13 and the fourth through hole 15 respectively, so that the heat conducting oil can only enter the first recess 8 through the first through hole 9, and meanwhile the output of the servo motor 22 will make the positive and negative thread rod 21 rotate, which will make the two L-shaped movable blocks 23 move away from each other under the block of the fixed box 20, and the movement of the two L-shaped movable blocks 23 will make the two L-shaped movable plates 24 move, and the movement of the two L-shaped movable plates 24 will make the two first trapezoidal blocks 25, the four second trapezoidal blocks 26, the four third trapezoidal blocks 27 and the fourth trapezoidal block 28 move, and the movement of the first trapezoidal block 25 will make the sealing partition 19 move through the extrusion of the roller and the movement of the rod 17, thereby blocking the first through hole 9, and when the first through hole 9 is blocked, the roller is in contact with the vertical surface of the first trapezoidal block 25, at which time the inclined surface of one of the second trapezoidal blocks 26 is in contact with the roller at the same horizontal level, and then the movement of the L-shaped movable plate 24 will make the one of the second trapezoidal blocks 26 gradually extrude the roller, at which time the sealing partition 19 at the same level will move under the action of the movement rod 17 and the spring 18, thereby unblocking the second through hole 11, and the unblocking of the second through hole 11 will make the heat conducting oil enter the second recess 10, at which time the third trapezoidal block 27 still extrudes the roller at the same horizontal level, and then the continuous movement of the L-shaped movable plate 24 will make the same horizontal level of the roller extruded again by the other second trapezoidal block 26, thereby making the sealing partition 19 seal the second through hole 11 again, at which time the inclined surface of one of the third trapezoidal blocks 27 is in contact with the roller at the same horizontal level, and then the continuous movement of the L-shaped movable plate 24 will make the third through hole 13 unblocked under the action of the spring 18 and the sealing partition 19 at the same horizontal level, and the unblocking of the third through hole 13 will make the heat conducting oil enter the third recess 12, and then the continuous movement of the L-shaped movable plate 24 will make the sealing partition 19 reset by the other third trapezoidal block 27, thereby blocking the third through hole 13, and when the third through hole 13 is blocked again, the inclined surface of the fourth trapezoidal block 28 is in contact with the roller at the same level, and then the continuous movement of the L-shaped movable plate 24 will make the sealing partition 19 unblock the fourth through hole 15 under the action of the spring 18, and the unblocking of the fourth through hole 15 will make the heat conducting oil enter the fourth recess 14, thereby making the heat conducting oil contact the heat conducting fins 16 at different positions, and then the first oil pump 38 stops the delivery of the heat conducting oil, and meanwhile the movement of the L-shaped movable plate 24 will make the rack 36 move through the L-shaped movable plate 35, and when the first oil pump 38 stops outputting, the rack 36 is in mesh with the circular gear 37,At this time, the L-shaped movable plate 24 continues to move to make the circular gear 37 rotate through the rack 36, the circular gear 37 rotates to make the threaded rod 33 rotate, the threaded rod 33 rotates to make the L-shaped threaded block 34 move under the limiting of the inner wall of the moving box 32, the L-shaped threaded block 34 moves to cancel the plugging of the oil drain hole 30, at this time, the heat conducting oil flows into the back-shaped discharging cavity 29, and then the servo motor 22 reversely outputs, the servo motor 22 reversely outputs to make the two L-shaped movable plates 24 reset and move through the positive and negative toothed rod 21 and the two L-shaped movable blocks 23, the two L-shaped movable plates 24 reset and move to make the threaded rod 33 reversely rotate through the rack 36 and the circular gear 37, the threaded rod 33 reversely rotates to make the back-shaped piston 31 reset through the L-shaped threaded block 34, and the L-shaped movable plate 24 resets and moves to make the two first trapezoidal blocks 25, the four second trapezoidal blocks 26, the four third trapezoidal blocks 27 and the fourth trapezoidal block 28 reset, and then the above operation is repeated to conduct heat conduction cooling, so that the four sides of the extruder barrel 4 are divided and heat-conducted to circulate and cool, avoiding that the heat conducting oil directly absorbs heat and flows to affect the overall cooling effect.

[0067] When the heat conducting oil after heat conduction enters the back-shaped discharging cavity 29, the second oil pump 40 starts, the second oil pump 40 starts to input the heat conducting oil in the back-shaped discharging cavity 29 into the treatment tank 42 through the flow pipe 41, at this time, the external cooling water circulating device is started, the external cooling water circulating device outputs to input the cooling water into the connecting hole of the movable rod 44 through the movable pipe and the rotary joint 45, then the cooling water continues to move and is discharged from the fixed pipe 46 through the cooling pipe 48, another connecting hole, another rotary joint 45 and the hose, so as to make the cooling water circulate to cool the heat conducting oil, and the positive and negative toothed rod 21 rotates to make the third bevel gear 55 rotate, the third bevel gear 55 rotates to make the first bevel gear 51 and the second bevel gear 53 rotate, the first bevel gear 51 rotates to make the reciprocating screw rod 49 rotate, the reciprocating screw rod 49 rotates to make the lifting plate 50 move up and down under the action of the guide rod, the lifting plate 50 moves up and down to make the movable rod 44 move up and down, the movable rod 44 moves up and down to make the cooling pipe 48 move up and down, and the second bevel gear 53 rotates to make the annular block 52 rotate, the annular block 52 rotates to make the movable rod 44 rotate under the action of the limiting block 54 and the limiting groove, the movable rod 44 rotates to make the cooling pipe 48 circularly move, so as to make the cooling pipe 48 circularly move while moving up and down, thereby cooling the heat conducting oil at different positions and heights, effectively improving cooling uniformity and heat exchange efficiency, when the cooling is completed, the cooled heat conducting oil reenters the oil tank 3 through the electric valve and the oil drain pipe 47.
