Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of plastic granulators, and specifically relates to a quantitative feeding mechanism for a plastic granulator. Background Technique
[0002] A plastic granulator is composed of an extrusion system, a transmission system, and a heating and cooling system. Its main function is to use a special screw design and different configurations to be suitable for the recycling and color mixing granulation of various plastics such as PP, PE, PS, ABS, PA, PVC, PC, POM, EVA, LCP, PET, and PMMA. When using a plastic granulator for granulation work, the weight of various plastic raw materials added into the plastic granulator needs to be strictly controlled to ensure the correct proportion of various raw materials and prevent the quality of the processed plastic particles from not meeting the standards due to unbalanced proportions. Therefore, when transporting raw materials to the feeding mechanism of the plastic granulator, a quantitative feeding method is adopted to ensure the normal proportion of raw materials.
[0003] In a Chinese patent, a quantitative feeding mechanism for a plastic granulator is disclosed, with the patent number CN213595449U. In this quantitative feeding mechanism for a plastic granulator, it includes a plastic granulator, a fixed platform, and a quantitative mechanism. A fixed platform is provided on one side of the top of the plastic granulator, and a quantitative mechanism is installed above the fixed platform. The quantitative mechanism includes a driving motor, a rotating disk, through holes, a storage hopper, and a discharge valve. The center of the top of the fixed platform is connected to the driving motor, and the output shaft at the top of the driving motor is connected to the center of the bottom of the rotating disk. The top surface of the rotating disk is circular, and a sliding groove is opened around the center of the top of the rotating disk. Three through holes are opened at the bottom of the sliding groove, and all three through holes penetrate the rotating disk. Three storage hoppers are connected to the bottom of the rotating disk. Through the setting of the quantitative mechanism, when the plastic granulator needs to feed, quantitative feeding can be carried out for the plastic granulator, ensuring the stability of the plastic granulator during use and making its service life longer.
[0004] The above-mentioned disclosed patent has the following disadvantages:
[0005] (1) In the prior art, in the quantitative feeding mechanism, the material can enter the plastic granulator quantitatively through the internally set quantitative mechanism. However, in the existing quantitative method, the rotating disk needs to stop rotating to wait for the discharge pipe to align with the through hole, making the feeding efficiency low during the whole process.
[0006] (2) In the prior art, under different requirements of the plastic granulator, the quantity of each quantitative entry into the inner side of the granulator by the quantitative mechanism is always the same, which may result in the feeding quantity being unable to supply the granulation work of the granulator.
[0007] (3) In the prior art, during the feeding process of a plastic granulator, due to the properties of the material itself, some materials will remain inside the feeding mechanism, making it difficult to clean the inside of the feeding mechanism. The long-term residue will affect the normal feeding of the feeding mechanism. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation mode
[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0032] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a quantitative feeding mechanism for a plastic granulator includes a granulator body 1. The granulator body 1 supports the feeding cylinder 3 through the support column 2 provided on its surface. The feeding port 301 opened on the upper surface of the feeding cylinder 3 can facilitate the feeding of materials into the feeding cylinder 3 from its inner side. A driving motor 401 is provided for the stirring assembly 4 inside the feeding cylinder 3. The driving rod 402 at its driving output end drives the stirring scraping rod 404 to rotate, so as to stir the inner materials and scrape the materials adhered to the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 3 at the same time. The connecting pipe 5 fixed to the bottom surface of the feeding cylinder 3 is connected to the quantitative box 6, so that the materials inside the feeding cylinder 3 can enter the quantitative box 6 through it. A stepper motor 601 is provided on one side of the surface of the quantitative box 6. The rotating rod 602 at the output end of the stepper motor 601 drives the connecting disk 603 inside the quantitative box 6 to rotate, so as to drive the quantitative part 7 to rotate. The outer cover 701 at one end of the quantitative part 7 facilitates the extraction of the quantitative part 7 from the inside of the quantitative box 6, and a first limiting block 703 is provided on the surface of the other end of the quantitative part 7 to be clamped on the surface of the connecting disk 603 to realize the linkage between the two. The control panel 8 located below the quantitative box 6 is signal-connected to the driving motor 401 and the stepper motor 601, which is convenient for controlling the operation of the two.
[0033] The surface of the driving rod 402 is provided with a spiral-shaped flow equalizing blade 403.
[0034] Through the above technical solution, under the rotation of the driving rod 402, the flow equalizing blade 403 is driven to rotate accordingly, so that the materials inside the feeding cylinder 3 can smoothly enter the inside of the quantitative box 6 through the spiral-shaped flow equalizing blade 403.
[0035] The first limiting ring 631 provided on the surface of the connecting plate 603 and the second limiting ring 641 connected to the surface of the fixed ring 604 inside the metering box 6 both rotate inside the metering box 6.
[0036] Through the above technical solution, under the limitation of the first limiting ring 631 and the second limiting ring 641, the rotation of the connecting plate 603 and the rotation of the fixed ring 604 can be made smoother, so as to ensure that the metering member 7 can rotate stably with the assistance of the two.
[0037] Clamping rings 721 fixed to the surface of the metering box 6 are provided at both ends of the surface of the outer cover 701, so that the outer cover 701 can be clamped inside the clamping rings 721, and a plug rod 722 is inserted through the outer cover 701 inside the clamping rings 721.
[0038] Through the above technical solution, under the limitation of the plug rod 722, the outer cover 701 can be fixed inside the clamping rings 721, and the outer cover 701 further limits the metering member 7.
[0039] A rotating member 702 rotatably connected inside the outer cover 701 is connected to the metering member 7, and a connecting ring 704 on the surface of the metering member 7 is inserted inside the fixed ring 604 through a second limiting block 705 mounted on the surface.
[0040] Through the above technical solution, under the connection of the second limiting block 705, one end of the metering member 7 can be connected to the metering box 6 through the rotating member 702, so as to ensure that the metering member 7 can rotate more stably when rotating.
[0041] When in use, when the user uses the metering feeding mechanism of the plastic granulator, the material to be processed is put into the feeding cylinder 3 through the feeding port 301. Driven by the driving motor 401, the driving rod 402 can drive the flow equalizing blade 403 and the stirring scraping rod 404 to rotate, so that the material can smoothly enter the inside of the metering box 6 through the connecting pipe 5. Under the control of the control panel 8, the stepping motor 601 can drive the connecting plate 603 to rotate through the rotating rod 602, so that the metering member 7 clamped by the first limiting block 703 can rotate, and the material enters the groove by using the tooth-shaped structure on the surface, and then falls inside the granulator body 1 when rotating to the lower part, realizing metering feeding. At the same time, when it is necessary to adjust the feeding quantity subsequently, the plug rod 722 is taken out from the inside of the outer cover 701 and the clamping rings 721, so that the metering member 7 can be taken out through the outer cover 701 for replacement.
