[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "vertical direction", "upper", "lower", "horizontal" and the like indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0036] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, a direct connection, or a connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the utility model is an air sealing mechanism applied to the extruder drive box, comprising a connecting piece 10 and an air sealing assembly 20; wherein the connecting piece 10 is penetrated by a connecting hole 11; the air sealing assembly 20 comprises an air sealing ring 21 fixed to the inner side of the connecting hole 11, and a pressure cover 22 fixed to an opening at one end of the connecting hole 11; the pressure cover 22 and the air sealing ring 21 are both annular structures, a vertically arranged gas flow channel 221 is provided on the inner side of the pressure cover 22, an air inlet hole 222 connected to the gas flow channel 221 is provided on the outer wall of the pressure cover 22, and an air outlet hole 223 connected to the gas flow channel 221 is provided on the side of the pressure cover 22 facing the air sealing ring 21.
[0038] See also Figure 7 As shown, when in use, the connector 10 and the gas seal assembly 20 are installed between the drive box 30 and the feed barrel 40 by bolts, and the screw is arranged on the inner side of the gas seal assembly 20. The air inlet 222 is connected to the air pipe joint, and the outside world supplies gas to the gas flow channel 221. The gas passes through the air inlet 222, the gas flow channel 221 and the exhaust hole in sequence, and finally is discharged toward the gas seal ring 21, forming a wind curtain between the screw and the gas seal ring 21, thereby limiting the backflow of the powder raw material into the drive box 30, and achieving the purpose of gas sealing.
[0039] A further improvement to the above solution is that an annular limiting portion 12 is provided at one end opening of the connecting hole 11 , and the limiting portion 12 abuts against the pressing cover 22 to prevent the pressing cover 22 from falling off.
[0040] For further improvement of the above scheme, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, the inner wall of the gas sealing ring 21 is provided with a plurality of grooves 211 arranged equidistantly along the axial direction, and notches 212 are provided between the grooves 211. The notches 212 realize the communication of the grooves 211, and the notches 212 and the grooves 211 form a circulation channel 213; the notches 212 are aligned with the air outlet 223, and the gas enters the circulation channel 213 through the notches 212 for circulation, thereby forming an air seal between the screw and the gas sealing ring 21.
[0041] A further improvement to the above scheme is that a guide slope 214 is provided at one end of the gas seal ring 21 facing the gland 22, and the guide slope 214 is used to guide the gas into the circulation channel 213. A stopper 215 is provided at one end of the gas seal ring 21 away from the gland 22, and the gas flows to the stopper 215 and collides, and then flows radially to form a wind curtain, thereby preventing dusty raw materials from entering the drive box 30.
[0042] A further improvement to the above solution is that the aperture of the air inlet hole 222 is larger than the aperture of the gas flow channel 221 , so as to facilitate the connection of the air pipe joint at the air inlet hole 222 .
[0043] A further improvement to the above scheme is that the gland 22 extends an annular connecting ring 224, the outer diameter of the connecting ring 224 is consistent with the inner diameter of the connecting hole 11, and the connecting ring 224 is stuck in the connecting hole 11 to improve the connection stability of the gland 22. At the same time, the gland 22 and the connecting member 10 are provided with an assembly hole 225, and a bolt is screwed into the assembly hole 225 to realize the assembly connection between the gland 22 and the connecting member 10.
[0044] In this embodiment, the extruder is a twin-screw extruder, so the number of the connecting holes 11 is two, and the number of the corresponding air sealing components 20 is also two. In order to splice the two glands 22 together, a connecting level 226 is provided on the outer wall of the gland 22.
[0045] Compared with the prior art, the utility model relates to an air sealing mechanism applied to an extruder drive box, comprising an air sealing assembly 20, which prevents dusty raw materials from entering the drive box 30 and causing pollution through air sealing, thereby affecting the normal operation of the extruder; specifically, the air sealing assembly 20 comprises an air sealing ring 21 and a pressure cover 22, on which a gas flow channel 221 is provided, and gas is introduced into the gas flow channel 221. After the gas is discharged from the pressure cover 22, a wind curtain is formed between the air sealing ring 21 and the screw to prevent dusty raw materials from flowing back into the drive box 30; in addition, a circulation flow channel 213 is provided on the inner wall of the air sealing ring 21 to limit the flow of gas and achieve a better air sealing effect.
[0046] The above only expresses the preferred technical solution of the utility model, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and the utility model is also intended to include these modifications and modifications.
