[0020] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 and the attached Figure 2 . The present utility model mainly includes a differential - speed screw conveyor for transporting viscous materials. The differential - speed screw conveyor mainly includes a motor 1, an end plate connection frame 3, a left end plate 4 of the conveyor, an upper cover 6 of the conveyor, a conveyor housing 11, and a right end plate 8 of the conveyor. The left end plate 4 of the conveyor is fixedly installed at the front end of the conveyor housing 11, the right end plate 8 of the conveyor is fixedly installed at the rear end of the conveyor housing 11, the upper cover 6 of the conveyor is fixedly installed above the conveyor housing 11, the end plate connection frame 3 is fixedly installed together with the left end plate 4 of the conveyor, and the motor 1 is directly or indirectly installed together with the end plate connection frame 3. In the present utility model, the front and rear are defined according to the advancing direction of the material. During the conveying process of the material, it is conveyed from the front to the rear. An inlet 5 is provided at the top of the upper cover 6 of the conveyor, the inlet 5 is arranged in front of the upper cover 6 of the conveyor, a discharge opening 9 is provided at the bottom of the conveyor housing 11, and the discharge opening 9 is arranged at the rear of the conveyor housing 11. In this embodiment, a double - spiral ribbon shaft 12 and a single - spiral ribbon shaft 13 are arranged in the conveyor housing 11. The double - spiral ribbon shaft 12 and the single - spiral ribbon shaft 13 are arranged in parallel, and the double - spiral ribbon shaft 12 and the single - spiral ribbon shaft 13 are respectively driven to rotate by the motor 1.

[0021] In this embodiment, a speed reducer 2 is fixedly installed on the end plate connection frame 3. The rotor of the motor 1 is connected to the input shaft of the speed reducer 2. A third gear 16 is connected to the output shaft of the speed reducer 2. The end of the double - spiral ribbon shaft 12 is fixedly connected to a first gear 14, and the end of the single - spiral ribbon shaft 13 is fixedly connected to a second gear 15. The third gear 16 meshes with the first gear 14 and the second gear 15 respectively, that is, the speed reducer 2 drives the double - spiral ribbon shaft 12 and the single - spiral ribbon shaft 13 to rotate in the same direction through the third gear 16.

[0022] In this embodiment, the second gear 15 and the third gear 16 have the same diameter (in other words, they have the same number of teeth on the gear). The diameter of the first gear 14 is twice that of the third gear 16 (in other words, the number of teeth on the first gear 14 is twice that of the third gear 16). When rotating, the rotational speed of the single - spiral ribbon shaft 13 is twice that of the double - spiral ribbon shaft 12. The third gear 16 connected to the output shaft of the speed reducer 2 serves as a control gear for one - control - two, controlling the first gear 14 and the second gear 15 respectively. The first gear 14 is connected to the double - head spiral ribbon shaft 12 by a key, and the second gear 15 is connected to the single - head spiral ribbon shaft 13 by a key. Among them, the rotational speed of the double - head spiral ribbon shaft 12 controlled by the first gear 14 is one - half of that of the single - head spiral ribbon shaft 13, and the rotation directions are the same. Moreover, the double - spiral ribbons of the double - head spiral ribbon shaft 12 have a cutting effect on the conveyed viscous material, ensuring the stable conveyance of the viscous material.

[0023] In this embodiment, the double - spiral ribbon shaft 12 has a double - spiral ribbon structure. One spiral ribbon has a starting angle of 0°, and the other has a starting angle of 180°. That is, there are two spiral ribbons on the double - spiral ribbon shaft 12, and there is one spiral ribbon on the single - spiral ribbon shaft 13. The pitch between adjacent spiral ribbons of the double - spiral ribbon shaft 12 is the same as the pitch between the spiral ribbons on the single - spiral ribbon shaft 13. The spiral ribbons of the double - head spiral ribbon shaft 12 and the single - head spiral ribbon shaft 13 are both solid spiral surfaces, and the pitches of the two sets of spirals are the same. The difference lies in the two spiral ribbons of the double - spiral 12. One spiral ribbon has a starting angle of 0°, and the other has a starting angle of 180°, and the lead is 1 / 2 of the pitch. In addition, when the two sets of spirals are installed, the installation angle is adjusted to achieve perfect meshing between them.

[0024] In this embodiment, the motor 1 and the speed reducer 2 are fixedly installed at the front end of the conveyor housing 11 through the end - plate connection frame 3. Specifically, during implementation, the motor 1 and the speed reducer 2 can also be installed at the rear end of the conveyor housing 11, or they can be installed in other types of installation methods according to the equipment space layout, not limited to the current installation position shown in the figure.

[0025] In this embodiment, the end - plate connection frame 3 protects the internal transmission gears from the impact of foreign objects, and at the same time is used to fix the shaft heads of the conveyor spiral shafts and for sealing.

[0026] In this embodiment, the left end - plate 4 of the conveyor and the right end - plate 8 of the conveyor are respectively fixedly installed together with the conveyor housing 11 through bolts.

[0027] In this embodiment, the conveyor upper cover 6 is divided into three parts, which are respectively fixed to the flanges of the conveyor housing 11 by bolts. Among them, there is a feed inlet 5 on the front part, the middle part serves as a pure cover plate, and there is a spare maintenance observation hole 7 on the rear part. The spare maintenance observation hole 7 is arranged above the discharge port 9.

[0028] In this embodiment, a support 10 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the conveyor housing 11.

[0029] When the utility model is working, the viscous material from the previous process enters the differential screw conveyor through the feed inlet 5. The double spiral ribbon shaft 12 and the single spiral ribbon shaft 13 continuously engage and cut the material, pushing the material forward. There is a scraping device at the end of the conveying screw shaft, which continuously extrudes the conveyed material towards the discharge port 9 for subsequent processing, thus completing the conveying process.

[0030] The utility model is suitable for conveying lumpy materials that are perishable, highly viscous, and have a high moisture content. The double spiral ribbon shaft and the single spiral ribbon shaft in the utility model are meshed through differential speed. Among them, the double spiral ribbon has a cutting effect on the material, accelerating the conveying of the material. There is a pushing and check device at the end of the conveying screw shaft, accelerating the outflow of the material. The utility model can pass hot steam through the inside of the screw shaft to change it into a drying conveying screw, which has a certain drying effect on the material. The double spiral ribbon shaft and the single spiral ribbon shaft are controlled by the gear transmission of the output shaft of the reducer.
