The various embodiments listed in the present utility model are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Any obvious modification or change made to the present utility model does not depart from the spirit and scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-6 As shown, the twin-screw granulator with a cleaning function proposed by the present utility model includes a base 2 and a twin-screw granulator assembly 1 assembled on the top of the base 2, and a cleaning component 3 assembled on the twin-screw granulator assembly 1. The twin-screw granulator assembly 1 includes a housing 101 fixedly installed on the top of the base 2, a twin screw 107 rotatably installed inside the housing 101, and a sealing cover 102 hingedly installed on the top of the housing 101. The cleaning component 3 includes a protective cover 301 hingedly installed on the top of the housing 101 and located on one side of the sealing cover 102. A moving box 4 is slidably installed inside the protective cover 301. A threaded seat 401 extending out of the protective cover 301 is fixedly installed on the top of the moving box 4. A plurality of cleaning brushes 403 extending into the housing 101 and arranged in a matrix are fixedly installed on the bottom of the moving box 4. A plurality of sprinkler heads 404 are communicated with the bottom of the moving box 4 and are located at adjacent positions of the cleaning brushes 403.
[0025] Based on the above-mentioned structural setting, the twin-screw granulator with cleaning function is composed of a twin-screw granulator component 1, a base 2 and a cleaning component 3, wherein the twin-screw granulator component 1 can be supported by the base 2, and the granulation production operation can be normally performed by the twin-screw granulator component 1. The flip cleaning component 3 can be combined with the twin-screw granulator component 1, and the interior of the twin-screw granulator component 1 can be conveniently cleaned. Specifically, in the working process, by flipping the sealing cover 102, the sealing cover 102 can be covered on the top of the shell 101, the shell 101 can be sealed, and the twin screw rod 107 can be rotated in the shell 101 to process the material. When the twin screw rod 107 needs to be cleaned, the sealing cover 102 is flipped upward to open it. At this time, the protective cover 301 can be flipped downward to cover the top of the shell 101, and can be switched with the sealing cover 102. The protective cover 3 01 covers the top of the shell 101, the cleaning brush 403 can be extended into the shell 101 and contact the double screw rod 107. When the double screw rod 107 rotates, the cleaning brush 403 can be used to clean the materials adhered to the surface of the double screw rod 107. By conveying the cleaning agent into the mobile box 4, it can be sprayed by the water nozzle 404, and the double screw rod 107 can be scrubbed with the cleaning brush 403. By driving the mobile box 4 to move back and forth along the protective cover 301, the double screw rod 107 can be cleaned relatively quickly. After cleaning, the protective cover 301 is flipped upward and opened, so that the cleaning component 3 can be separated from the shell 101, and the sealing cover 102 can be flipped over and recombined with the shell 101, so that the shell 101 can be used normally. It only needs to switch between the cleaning component 3 and the sealing cover 102, which can effectively simplify the cleaning operation process and improve the use effect.
[0026] Furthermore, the top of the protective cover 301 is rotatably mounted with a threaded rod 304 that penetrates the threaded seat 401 through the vertical plate 303, and the top of the mobile box 4 is connected with a butt joint 402 that extends out of the protective cover 301.

Among them, through the movable arm 302, the protective cover 301 and the sealing cover 102 can be turned. By using the handles 305, it is convenient to open and close the protective cover 301 and the sealing cover 102, and it is convenient to switch between the cleaning component 3 and the sealing cover 102.
[0029] Furthermore, the sealing cover 102 and the housing 101 are fixed through the fixing knob 106. At the top of the base 2 and at the rear end of the housing 101, a driving motor 104 corresponding to the double screw rod 107 is fixedly installed. Among them, by using the fixing knob 106, the sealing cover 102 and the housing 101 can be fixed to prevent the sealing cover 102 from loosening during normal operation. Through the driving motor 104, power can be provided for the double screw rod 107 to facilitate the rotation operation of the double screw rod 107.
[0030] Furthermore, a feed hopper 105 is connected to the top of the housing 101, and a discharge head 103 is fixedly installed at the front end of the housing 101.
