Description

Technical Field

[0002] When the counter-rotating twin-screw extruder is running, due to the rotation mode, there is a pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the confluence core flow channel, resulting in the upper melt pressure being 0.5-1MPa lower than the lower pressure. After the melt enters the circular channel, the upper flow velocity is lower than the lower flow velocity, causing different internal stresses in the upper and lower parts of the product, resulting in a decrease in product performance.

[0003] The authorized patent number CN216635326U discloses an asymmetric flow channel confluence core of a twin-screw extruder. The device mainly uses the main body steel to fill the vortex generated at the confluence core to form a convex part, the vortex phenomenon disappears, and the pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the confluence core is reduced, and the mechanical properties of the product are improved. When processing PVC products, the problem of confluence core material stoppage is solved and the start-up cycle is extended. The flow channel adopts an upper and lower asymmetric structure, which does not affect the performance and production capacity of the equipment. However, when the device is actually used, it still has the following defects:

[0004] The above patent mainly fills convex parts in the confluence core to reduce the pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the confluence core. However, when the melt in the confluence core mixes and flows, the melt flow rate pressure in the upper and lower parts is uneven, resulting in different stresses in the flow part of the product. This not only easily causes the confluence core to stop, but also affects the product performance and reduces the controllability of the melt pressure inside the confluence core.

[0012] The asymmetric flow channel of the extruder proposed by the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] Through the flow channel structure of the asymmetric first concave portion and the second concave portion between the flow channel opening and the confluence cavity, the pressure difference of the upper and lower confluence of the melt is balanced, thereby avoiding the occurrence of vortex phenomenon that leads to confluence core filling, and the connection between the asymmetric flow channel and the confluence cavity makes the melt confluence more stable.

The preset concave layer structure is utilized to promote the pressure balance of the incoming melt, and under the asymmetric flow channel structure, the stability of the pressure balance is further improved.

[0021] Embodiment 1, as Figure 1-2 As shown, two groups of stabilizing wheels 5 are arranged at the flow channel position of the confluence chamber 6, and the two groups of stabilizing wheels 5 and the rotating shaft 7 rotate inside the confluence chamber 6. By utilizing the stabilizing wheels 5 and the rotating shaft 7 to rotate inside the confluence chamber 6, when the melt passes through the confluence chamber 6, the pressure of the passing melt can be balanced through the rolling cooperation of the stabilizing wheels 5, thereby reducing the pressure difference inside the confluence core and improving the product performance.

[0023] Working principle: In the asymmetric flow channel of this extruder;

[0024] When the melt enters the converging core tube body 1, the output cavity structure of the runner opening 3 promotes the melt to enter the concave layer structure of the first concave portion 4 and the second concave portion 8 preset inside the converging core tube body 1, so that with the cooperation of the asymmetric structure of the first concave portion 4 and the second concave portion 8, the pressure of the entering melt is balanced and input into the converging cavity 6 for converging. When the melt is introduced into the converging cavity 6, it can contact the stabilizing wheel 5, causing the stabilizing wheel 5 to roll under the flow of the melt, rolling the melt, reducing the pressure difference in the converging state of the melt, preventing the occurrence of eddy currents, promoting the stability and balance of melt converging and circulation, avoiding material stoppage, and increasing the precision and quality of extruder products.
