Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of biomass pelletizing equipment, and specifically relates to a dual-servo controllable biomass pelletizer. Background Technology
[0002] In the biomass industry, due to the prevalence of flat die pelleting and ring die pelleting processes, the following problems are common: The material is too light to be effectively fed into the die rollers, causing slippage and affecting pelleting efficiency. When using wheat or rice straw, the low bulk density hinders effective pelleting, resulting in generally low production efficiency for these materials. Furthermore, existing pelleting equipment suffers from the following issues: Material is typically fed directly into the hopper or via a screw conveyor before entering the pelleting machine. Both methods result in suspended material that cannot be compacted during feeding, further hindering effective feeding into the die rollers and causing slippage, thus impacting pelleting efficiency. The amount of material fed is also uncontrollable, with excessive feed causing frequent abnormal shutdowns of the drive motor. Existing separately driven rotating discharge mechanisms occupy a large space and increase production costs. Dual-roller structures cannot effectively adjust the roller spacing, leading to roller wear and requiring replacement or repair, significantly impacting operating costs. Furthermore, existing industry practices impose numerous limitations on pellet size; typically, only pellets around 8 millimeters can be produced between the two rollers, making it impossible to adjust processing for various raw materials. The lifespan of the die rollers and die skin in traditional pelletizers is only 300 tons and 800 tons respectively. These relatively short service lives cannot meet the demands for pelletizing various sizes. Therefore, further research and development are needed to create a pelletizer that can solve the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0051] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are: This invention provides a dual-servo controllable biomass pelletizer. It features a compact structure, enabling pelleting of multiple sizes, reducing production costs and maintenance time, and offering simple and convenient operation. The feeding mechanism, with its guiding and pressing claws and guide plate, ensures uniform feeding and simultaneous material compaction. Its simple structure reduces downtime and maintenance, improving overall efficiency and lowering maintenance costs. No additional pre-treatment equipment is required. The discharge mechanism rotates with the die roller, significantly reducing space requirements and allowing discharge during pelleting. Sharing a single roller drive motor with the die roller further reduces production costs. Its compact structure and simple operation enhance overall production efficiency. The dual-axis spacing adjustment mechanism allows for roller spacing adjustment without disassembling the entire machine, greatly reducing downtime, extending roller lifespan, improving production efficiency, lowering production costs, reducing maintenance time, increasing overall uptime, and enhancing ease of operation. The shaft system allows for adjustment between the two rollers, and the roller structure and position can accommodate various pelleting sizes. It has a wider range of applications. The double-roller extrusion structure and its inherent structural design achieve efficient material feeding. The roller spacing can be adjusted arbitrarily, and the rollers can continue to be used even when worn, greatly extending their service life. The double-roller structure ensures effective granulation even with moisture content of 10-25%, allowing direct granulation of silage raw materials. The granulation diameter range covers 3-30 mm. It can directly granulate raw materials without any pretreatment, effectively reducing various cumbersome processes and saving significant costs. It increases the service life of the die rollers, reduces the need for replacing vulnerable parts, improves operational efficiency, and lowers operating costs. The granulator provided by this invention can improve the feeding and granulation efficiency of loose materials such as bamboo, wheat, rice, oats, and reeds. For common woody materials, corn stalks, cotton, sesame, etc., the granulation degree is more than 1.5 times higher than traditional granulators. Currently, the pelleting process in the industry is complex and costly, requiring crushing, screening, drying, coarse and fine grinding, and pelleting. This numerous steps and high costs limit the industry's development. Existing pelleting processes have strict requirements for material moisture content, generally requiring materials to be controlled at around 15% before entering the pelleting machine, resulting in a narrow applicability and necessitating additional pre-treatment of the materials. In contrast, the pelleting machine provided by this invention has a wider range of moisture requirements, effectively pelletizing materials with a moisture content between 10% and 25%. Silage materials can be directly pelletized for use as silage feed, preserving nutrients. The die roller has a service life of over 3000 tons, and under favorable operating conditions, it can reach over 5000 tons. Attached Figure Description

The front end of the drive end flange 504 is connected to the drive assembly via a drive adapter flange 508 to achieve drive. The mold roller has a hollow internal structure. A drive end bearing 505 and a driven end bearing 509 are also provided at both ends of the mold roller. The outer circumference of the mold roller is alternately arranged with protrusions and grooves in circles. The protrusions and grooves on the mold rollers of rollers B502 and A501 are arranged alternately and oppositely.

The other structures of roller B502 are the same as those of roller A501. The distance between rollers B502 and A501 is adjusted by the adjusting screw group 309 and the wedge block 310 in the dual-axis spacing adjustment mechanism 3.

[0122] The driven end bearing 509 is connected to the bearing cap 507 at its end.
[0123] In actual operation, the feeding mechanism 1 pours materials into the buffer hopper 101 manually or with the assistance of existing equipment. The materials are guided by the inclined lower part of the buffer hopper 101 and fall into the housing 102. Several arc-shaped guide and pressing claws 107 within the housing 102 evenly guide the materials downwards. Due to the position and structure of the arc-shaped guide and pressing claws 107, when both claws are horizontal, their arc-shaped bottom surfaces can compact the materials below them. When the hopper shaft mechanism 5 of the granulator below is full, the outer arc surface of the arc-shaped guide and pressing claws 107... The bottom material is compressed, which improves the feeding efficiency of the granulator. When some material fails to enter the hopper shaft mechanism 5 smoothly and is caught on the guide pressing claw 107 and moves with it, the angle and long groove on the guide plate 106 will press the material down and remove it from the guide pressing claw 107 through the long groove. This reduces the amount of material stuck. When there is too much material at the bottom, the feed drive motor 103 is decelerated or stopped by its corresponding frequency converter to control the material descent and achieve a slow feeding function. The motor is restarted after the material in the hopper shaft mechanism 5 is consumed, so as to achieve automatic control and reduce the stalling of the drive motor 103. After the material arrives, the two rollers (roller A501 and roller B502) are driven by connecting the drive adapter flange 508 and the roller drive motor 401 respectively. The distance between the two rollers (roller A501 and roller B502) is adjusted by adjusting the screw assembly 309 and the wedge block 310. The staggered state between the two rollers at different distances meets the working conditions of different operating conditions. Figures 19-21 ), When two rollers (roller A501 and roller B503) are arranged in a cross configuration, there are three preferred configurations. The first is that the protruding end of the boss 510 on one roller is directly opposite the recessed hole (a die hole for material discharge) on the other roller. The second is that the arc-shaped concave surface at the bottom of the boss 510 on one roller is directly opposite the recessed hole on the other roller. The third is that the boss 510 on one roller is inserted 2mm deep into the recessed hole on the other roller, but there is a gap between the boss 510 and the groove. Material enters the triangular area between the two rollers from the hopper above the rollers. The rotation of the two rollers drives the material through the axially arranged grooves and protrusions on the die roller surface for cutting. Radially, the outer surface of the boss on the outer circle of one roller is pressed against the arc-shaped concave surface at the bottom of the boss 510 on the outer circle of the other roller, extruding the shredded material into granules through the die hole. Here, the corresponding load data can be obtained through torque output. The servo motor effectively adjusts the roller speed to control the material feed rate, thereby balancing the entire pelleting system and preventing material blockage. When the material type changes, the servo motor can be used to adjust and change the corresponding speed output. For special materials, differential rotation of the two rollers can be adopted to improve the pelleting effect. When the die rollers wear down and their cutting or extrusion capabilities decrease, the radial adjustment of the sliding bearing seat can change the distance between the two die rollers to achieve a good cutting and extrusion effect. This greatly improves the service life of the die rollers and reduces equipment maintenance costs. The drive end bearing uses double-row tapered roller bearings, or single-row tapered roller bearings arranged face-to-face or back-to-back. The axial force is limited by locking the axial force with a lock nut. The driven end bearing uses double-row radial roller bearings. Depending on the machine size and actual working conditions, this bearing may be changed to a single row. When the material enters the concave hole, the particles are squeezed out by the extrusion of subsequent materials. The particles are then cut and discharged by the discharge mechanism 2. The discharge mechanism 2 can achieve synchronous discharge. The discharge mechanism 2 is installed inside the granulation mold roller by the drive mounting plate 204. When the roller drive mechanism motor 401 drives the mold roller to rotate, it drives the discharge mechanism 2 to rotate, and then the material particles are discharged from the outlet of the mold roller. The particles are scraped off by the scraper. The scraped particles are guided by the receiving guide component and fall into the discharge cylinder 201 through the discharge port. The particles are then transported to the discharge pipe 203 at the end by the spiral discharge rod 205 in the discharge cylinder 201 for discharge. The discharge mechanism 1 rotates with the mold roller to achieve synchronous automatic discharge, which shortens the working cycle, reduces the overall space, and shares a single drive mechanism roller drive mechanism motor 401, thus reducing production costs.In the dual-axis spacing adjustment mechanism 3, under normal working conditions, the two rollers are placed on the fixed roller placement area and the sliding adjustment roller placement area respectively, and fixed by bearings and bearing mounting seats for operation. However, after working for a period of time, it is found that the rollers are worn and cannot meet the working conditions. Therefore, the operation of the drive assembly 4 is stopped. After stopping, the wedge block 310 is moved down with the thrust by adjusting screw A of the adjusting screw group 309 (the adjusting bolt group 309 on the other side can be adjusted by adjusting screw B to provide tension to move the wedge block 310), which provides thrust to the sliding bearing seat. It moves through the guide limit groove and guide bar 316 through sliding connection. The relative sliding driven by the wedge block 310 drives the sliding bearing seat to move to adjust the specified gap. In turn, it drives the roller to move to the working spacing. At the same time, the position of the motor mounting seat on the motor support 311 is adjusted by bolts and threaded holes to realize the corresponding position change of the drive motor. The angle of the wedge block is 7-8 degrees, preferably 7.5 degrees, to form a self-locking angle, ensuring that the equipment always maintains self-locking after readjustment, making the equipment operation more stable. A standard scale can be set on the position of the sliding bearing seat and the bottom frame 302 or the top cover 301 to check whether the adjustment mechanism is in the correct position.
