DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] An adjustable granulation mechanism, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a main body 1 and a granulating roller 2. Two granulating rollers 2 are arranged in parallel and rotatably connected to the main body 1. A plurality of concave granulating holes 3 are densely distributed on the surface of the granulating roller 2. The shape of the granulating holes 3 is hemispherical. In actual use, the material falls from the middle and upper part of the two granulating rollers 2, and then passes through the two pairs of granulating rollers 2. The granulating holes 3 of the two adjacent granulating rollers 2 are correspondingly spliced ​​to form a nearly spherical shape to squeeze the material into granules to complete granulation and fall.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a transmission gear 4 is provided at one end of each of the two granulating rollers 2, and adjacent transmission gears 4 mesh with each other to realize transmission, that is, only one of the granulating rollers 2 needs to be driven to rotate to drive the other granulating roller 2 to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction, and the transmission gear 4 is detachably connected to the granulating roller 2. In this embodiment, a spline 5 is provided at the end of the granulating roller 2, and a keyway 6 cooperating with the spline 5 is provided on the transmission gear 4. The circumferential linkage is realized by connecting with the spline 5, and the high structural strength of the spline 5 ensures the stability of the circumferential linkage. The transmission gear 4 can be slidably adjusted along the circumference of the granulating roller 2. In this embodiment, a boss 7 and an annular groove 8 are provided on the end of the granulating roller 2, the boss 7 abuts one side of the transmission gear 4, the annular groove 8 is located on the other side of the transmission gear 4, and a retaining spring 9 fixed thereto is installed on the annular groove 8, and the retaining spring 9 abuts the side of the transmission gear 4 away from the boss 7 to realize axial limitation of the transmission gear 4.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the granulation holes 3 are horizontally spaced on the granulation roller 2, and there are multiple rows of granulation holes 3 distributed around the granulation roller 2. In this embodiment, the number of rows of granulation holes 3 on the granulation roller 2 in the horizontal direction is a non-integer multiple of the ratio of the single tooth of the transmission tooth. In this way, when the granulation roller 2 is worn due to other factors such as pressure during long-term use, resulting in the granulation holes 3 on adjacent granulation rollers 2 being unable to be well aligned in the circumferential angle, the transmission gear 4 can be disassembled to disengage, but not to disengage the shaft. The gear drives the shaft and moves axially in the disengaged state, and then the transmission gear 4 is rotated by a certain angle. The degree allows other teeth to mesh to compensate for the misalignment in the circumferential angle, so that the granulation hole 3 can be realigned, ensuring the regularity of the granulation shape, so that the granulation mechanism can be used continuously for a long time, and the roundness of the product is improved. In this embodiment, the disassembly and adjustment operation of the transmission gear 4 is placed on the driven granulation roller 2; in addition, in this embodiment, when the axially sliding transmission gear 4 is disengaged, the transmission gear 4 is still sleeved on the granulation roller 2 and can be directly rotated to adjust the angle and then axially slid back, which is convenient for the direct rotation adjustment of the transmission gear 4 and effectively improves the convenience of the adjustment operation.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, an outer cover 10 for protecting the transmission gear 4 is provided on the outside thereof, and the outer cover 10 includes an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 12 spliced ​​together. With the help of the outer cover 10, the transmission gear 4 can be concealed inside, thereby improving the safety of use and also protecting the transmission gear 4. The upper cover 11 and the lower cover are detachably connected by screws 15 or bolts.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, at the bottom of the main body 1, there are four protruding mounting feet 13, and the mounting feet 13 are all provided with mounting holes. At the same time, a cover plate 14 connecting the two adjacent mounting feet 13 is provided between the two adjacent mounting feet 13, and the cover plate 14 is provided with through holes corresponding to the mounting holes. During actual use, the main body 1 is installed and fixed by fasteners passing through the mounting holes. The setting of the cover plate 14 can connect the two adjacent mounting feet 13 to improve the structural strength, and the cover plate 14 can play a shielding role to reduce the effect of foreign objects entering the interior through this place. The actual fasteners can be screws 15, and the screws 15 are connected and fixed through the through holes and the mounting holes, so that the installation of the main body 1 is achieved while the cover plate 14 is fixed simultaneously, which simplifies the structure and improves the installation efficiency.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] A double roller granulator, such as Figure 3-Figure 5As shown, it includes a frame 16, a shaper 17, a driving source and embodiment 1, the shaper 17 is installed below the adjustable granulating mechanism 18, and a feed hopper 19 for feeding is fixedly arranged on the top of the adjustable granulating mechanism 18, and a discharge hopper 20 for discharging is fixedly arranged below the frame 16 corresponding to the shaper 17, and the bottom wall of the discharge hopper 20 is inclined outward. In actual use, the raw material enters from the feed hopper 19 and falls into the adjustable granulating mechanism 18 for granulation. The granulated material falls to the shaper 17 to be broken up so that the material particles are independent, and finally discharged through the discharge hopper 20. The design of the discharge hopper 20 facilitates the discharge and collection of the material.

[0038] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the driving source includes a motor 21 and a reducer 22. The reducer 22 is arranged on one side of the adjustable granulating mechanism 18. The motor 21 is connected to the input end of the reducer 22 through a belt drive, and the output end of the reducer 22 is connected to one of the granulating rollers 2. In this way, the granulating roller 2 can be driven to rotate by the motor 21 to achieve granulation.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, the shaper 17 includes a shaping roller 23, a screen 24 and bearing seats 25 at both ends. Two shaping rollers 23 are arranged in parallel and are rotatably connected to the bearing seats 25. The screen 24 is fixed to the bearing seats 25. The shaping roller 23 is located inside the screen 24. The side walls and bottom walls of the screen 24 are provided with densely distributed screen holes 26. A plurality of evenly distributed shaping columns are convexly provided on the shaping roller 23. The shaping columns on adjacent shaping rollers 23 are staggered, so that the two shaping rollers 23 can be arranged closer, and the materials around them can be more fully contacted to achieve better In order to achieve the breaking up effect, mutually meshing transmission gears 4 are also arranged at one end of the two shaping rollers 23 to realize the synchronous reverse rotation of the two shaping rollers 23, and a sprocket 27 is arranged at the end of one of the shaping rollers 23 away from the transmission gear 4. At the same time, a sprocket 27 is also arranged on one of the granulating rollers 2, and then the two sprockets 27 are connected and transmitted through a chain 28. The granulating roller 2 transmits power to the shaping roller 23 during the rotation. In this way, only one driving source is needed to realize the synchronous rotation of the granulating roller 2 and the shaping roller 23, which simplifies the structure and effectively reduces the production cost.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a mounting plate 29 for mounting the power supply machine 21 is provided at the bottom of the frame 16, one side of the mounting plate 29 is hinged on the frame 16, and an adjusting column 30 is provided on the side of the frame 16 corresponding to the mounting plate 29 away from the hinge. The adjusting column 30 is in the shape of an arc and passes through the mounting plate 29, and the mounting plate 29 has a through slot 31 for the adjusting column 30 to pass through. The cross-sectional area of ​​the through slot 31 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the adjusting column 30, and at the same time, an adjusting nut 32 for supporting the mounting plate 29 is threadedly connected to the adjusting column 30. In this way, when the belt 33 used for transmission of the motor 21 becomes loose due to long-term use, the mounting plate 29 can be driven to flip and adjust by rotating the adjusting nut 32, so as to adjust the height of the motor 21, and finally adjust the tension state of the belt 33, so as to ensure that the belt 33 is always in a good tension state and the transmission effect is good.

[0041] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
