Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of extruders, in particular to a conical twin-screw extruder. Background Art

[0002] The conical twin-screw extruder is the main equipment for mixing, dispersing and plasticizing polymer materials. It relies on the pressure and shear force generated by the heating of the extruder barrel and the friction of the screw rotation to extrude the materials after mixing, melting, plasticizing and dispersing. The conical twin-screw extruder includes a barrel and a conical screw. The conical screw is provided with an exhaust section and the barrel is provided with an exhaust port corresponding to the exhaust section. The purpose is to discharge the air or volatiles generated after plasticization to ensure the quality of the product. However, when the processed material contains a large amount of powder, moisture, small molecular substances or the plasticization is poor or the process setting is inappropriate, the material will be discharged from the exhaust port with the waste gas to form a bulging material. This will not only cause a waste of material, but also when there is too much bulging material, the exhaust port will be blocked, resulting in shutdown, which greatly affects the production efficiency of the extruder. Utility Model Content

[0007] An airway is arranged in the seat body, the airway includes an upper airway and a lower airway, the width of the upper airway gradually decreases from top to bottom, the width of the lower airway gradually increases from top to bottom, and the air inlet of the lower airway is smaller than or equal to the exhaust port of the barrel;

[0008] A block is arranged in the upper airway, and the block is used to block the upper airway;

[0009] The elastic reset member is arranged between the seat body and the stopper.

[0010] A sealing gasket is arranged between the seat body and the exhaust port of the barrel.

[0011] The stopper is provided with a guide rod for cooperating with the seat body.

[0012] The wall of the lower airway is provided with an anti-stick coating.

[0013] The inner wall of the barrel near the feed inlet is uniformly distributed with spiral grooves, and the barrel is provided with drainage holes.

[0014] A cooling jacket is installed near the feed inlet of the barrel, and the distance between the inner wall of the cooling jacket and the outer wall of the barrel forms a cooling cavity, which extends from the feed inlet of the barrel to the end of the spiral groove.

[0015] A cooling hole is axially arranged at the center of the conical screw.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0017] When material overflow occurs, the block and the inclined wall of the lower airway can block the material overflow, and most of the molten material falls along the wall of the lower airway to the exhaust port; the elastic reset part is a spring, and the block is pushed upward during the exhaust process. If a small part of the material overflows into the upper airway, the molten material will also fall along the wall of the upper airway to the exhaust port; this structure will not cause waste of molten material while ensuring work efficiency.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0023] In the embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the conical twin-screw extruder includes a conical screw 1 and a barrel 2, and also includes:

[0024] A seat body 3 is arranged at the exhaust port of the barrel 2, and an exhaust hole 4 is provided on the seat body 3;

[0025] The airway 5 is arranged in the seat body 3, and the airway 5 includes an upper airway 51 and a lower airway 52. ​​The width of the upper airway 51 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the width of the lower airway 52 gradually increases from top to bottom. The air inlet of the lower airway 52 is smaller than or equal to the exhaust port of the barrel 2;

[0026] A block 6 is disposed in the upper airway 51, and the block 51 is used to block the upper airway 51;

[0027] The elastic reset member 7 is arranged between the seat body 3 and the stopper 6 .

[0028] When material overflow occurs, the block 6 and the inclined wall of the lower air duct 52 can block the material overflow, and most of the molten material falls along the wall of the lower air duct 52 to the exhaust port; the elastic reset part 7 is a spring, and the block 6 is pushed upward during the exhaust process. If a small part of the material overflows into the upper air duct 51, the molten material will also fall along the wall of the upper air duct 51 to the exhaust port; this structure will not cause waste of molten material while ensuring work efficiency.

[0029] In the embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a sealing gasket 15 is provided between the seat body 3 and the exhaust port of the barrel 2. The sealing between the seat body 3 and the exhaust port of the barrel 2 is ensured to prevent the melt from overflowing from between the seat body and the exhaust port of the barrel 2.

[0030] In the embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the stopper 6 is provided with a guide rod 8 for cooperating with the seat body 3 to ensure the linearity of the stopper 6 moving up and down.

[0031] In the embodiment, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the wall of the lower airway 52 is provided with an anti-stick coating 9 to prevent the molten material from sticking to the wall of the lower airway 52.

[0032] In the embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the barrel 2 near the feed port is uniformly distributed with spiral grooves 10, and the barrel 2 is provided with drainage holes 11. It is used to increase the friction with the inner wall of the barrel 2 to prevent some raw materials with moisture from slipping with the conical screw 1, thereby causing the feed port of the barrel 2 to be blocked; the drainage holes 11 are used to discharge the moisture squeezed out of the raw materials.

[0033] In the embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a cooling jacket 12 is installed near the feed port of the barrel 2, and the distance between the inner wall of the cooling jacket 12 and the outer wall of the barrel 2 forms a cooling cavity 13, which extends from the feed port of the barrel 2 to the end of the spiral groove 10. The raw materials are cooled to prevent the raw materials from being plasticized prematurely due to excessive temperature, causing the original carbonization and affecting the quality of the extruded product.

[0034] In the embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, the center of the conical screw 1 is provided with a cooling hole 14 along the axial direction. By cooling the barrel and the screw at the same time, the melt is heated evenly and the quality of the product is guaranteed.
