Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of components for twin-screw extruders, in particular to a connector with an anti-loosening structure. Background Art
[0002] As we all know, as a highly efficient plastic processing equipment, twin-screw extruder has a profound technical background and is constantly evolving. With the rapid development of the plastics industry, the requirements for plastic processing equipment are also increasing. With its unique structure and working principle, the twin-screw extruder occupies an important position in the field of plastic processing.
[0003] Twin-screw extruder is mainly composed of two intermeshing screws, barrel, transmission device, feeding device, temperature control system and cutting device, etc. Its working principle is that through the rotation and intermeshing of the two screws, the material is subjected to strong shearing, stretching and compression in the barrel, thereby achieving mixing, plasticization and extrusion of the material.
[0004] The connector is an intermediate element between the gearbox, barrel and screw in the transmission device. It not only provides a stable support for the screw in structure, but also serves as an intermediate transition connection between the gearbox and barrel, ensuring the continuity and stability of power transmission.
[0005] Structurally, the connector is designed to provide support for the screw. This support structure not only ensures the stability of the screw when it rotates at high speed, but also reduces the heat and wear caused by friction, thereby extending the service life of the screw. At the same time, the support connection between the connector and the screw needs to ensure reliable sealing at the connection to prevent the backflow of raw materials and improve the operating efficiency of the system.
[0006] However, during the operation of the twin-screw equipment, the screw will generate axial force. Under the action of axial alternating stress, the bolts at the sealing structure are prone to loosening, thus affecting the sealing effect and causing material leakage. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a solution to this technical problem. Utility Model Content

[0014] (III) Beneficial effects
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a connector with an anti-loosening structure, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] The connector with an anti-loosening structure effectively solves the problem of loosening of the sealing structure bolts caused by axial alternating stress during the operation of the twin-screw extruder, thereby improving the reliability of the equipment operation. The design of the spring preload ensures the tight fit of the sealing gland and the end cover between the connector and the screw, significantly enhancing the sealing effect, avoiding material leakage, and improving the equipment's working efficiency. The adjustability of the spring support force gives the connector greater adaptability, enabling it to maintain the best anti-loosening state under different working conditions or changes in axial force. The application of the multi-screw structure further enhances the stability of the connector, ensuring the long-term and efficient operation of the entire system. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
