Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of screw extruder temperature control device. Background Technology
[0002] A screw extruder is a mechanical device used for processing and producing polymer materials. Its main function is to melt, mix, and extrude solid or semi-solid polymer materials to form products in the shapes of plastic films, tubes, sheets, and rods. In modern industrial production, twin-screw extruders are widely used in plastics, rubber, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other fields.
[0003] A screw extruder is a type of plastic pipe production equipment. It relies on the pressure and shear force generated by the rotation of the screw to fully plasticize and uniformly mix the material, which is then formed through a die to achieve continuous extrusion.
[0004] In current extruders, the surface temperature of the screw cannot be adjusted independently during heated extrusion, resulting in some extruded products having defective shapes. Summary of the Invention

A first heating ring 401 is provided at the outer end of the second rotating shaft 4.
[0023] It should be noted that the second rotating shaft 4 drives the third rotating shaft 402 and the fourth rotating shaft 405 to rotate. The second rotating shaft 4, the third rotating shaft 402, and the fourth rotating shaft 405 drive the first screw 303, the second screw 304, and the third screw 305 to rotate. The heater inside the worktable 1 heats multiple sets of heating rods 408 to achieve different temperatures.

A first transmission wheel 102 is provided at the bottom of one side of the fixed frame 104, and a second transmission wheel 103 is provided at the top of one side of the fixed frame 104. The rotation of motor 101 drives the first transmission wheel 102 to rotate. A chain 105 is provided on the outer side of the first transmission wheel 102 and the second transmission wheel 103.

[0027] It is understandable that the rotation of motor 101 drives the first transmission wheel 102 to rotate, the first transmission wheel 102 drives the second transmission wheel 103 to rotate via chain 105, and the second transmission wheel 103 drives the second rotating shaft 4 to rotate.
[0028] Working principle: The material is poured into the feed cylinder 202 and enters the extrusion cylinder 2. The motor 101 rotates, driving the first transmission wheel 102 to rotate. The first transmission wheel 102 drives the second transmission wheel 103 to rotate via the chain 105. The second transmission wheel 103 drives the second rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The second rotating shaft 4 drives the third rotating shaft 402 and the fourth rotating shaft 405 to rotate. The second rotating shaft 4, the third rotating shaft 402, and the fourth rotating shaft 405 drive the first screw 303, the second screw 304, and the third screw 305 to rotate. The material is heated by multiple heating rods 408 inside the worktable 1. Heating at different temperatures, heating rod 408 heats heating coils 401, 404, and 407. Heating coils 401, 404, and 407 in turn heat rotating shafts 4, 402, and 405. Rotating shafts 4, 402, and 405 in turn heat screws 303, 304, and 305, thus heating different locations. Screws 303, 304, and 305 rotate and compress the material in extrusion cylinder 2, causing the material to be extruded and shaped.
