Detailed implementation manners
[0029] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the attached 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 of the embodiments.
[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationships indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the attached 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 orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.
[0031] As Figure 1 - Figure 3 shown, a plastic particle homogenization barrel 1 provided by the present application includes:
[0032] a barrel body 10;
[0033] a feeding hopper 20, the feeding hopper 20 is connected to the barrel body 10, and the feeding hopper 20 is provided with a feeding port 21;
[0034] The dust-proof component 30 includes a cover plate 31 and a locking member 32. One side edge of the cover plate 31 is movably connected to the feeding hopper 20. The cover plate 31 moves to cover or open the feeding port 21. One end of the locking member 32 is movably connected to the feeding hopper 20, and the other end moves to lock or unlock the cover plate 31.
[0035] The barrel body 10 is part of the basic structure of the entire device, and it is responsible for carrying and containing materials. On the side of the barrel body 10, a feeding hopper 20 is designed, and this feeding hopper 20 is directly connected to the upper end of the barrel body 10. The main function of the feeding hopper 20 is to facilitate the feeding and guiding of materials. It is equipped with a feeding port 21, and materials can enter the barrel body 10 through this feeding port 21. In order to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the entire device during use, a set of dust-proof components 30 is specially designed on the feeding hopper 20.
[0036] The dust-proof component 30 mainly includes two parts: a cover plate 31 and a locking member 32. One side edge of the cover plate 31 is fixed to the feeding hopper 20 by means of a movable connection, so that the cover plate 31 can move flexibly. When it is necessary to close the feeding port 21, the cover plate 31 can move above the feeding port 21 and cover it, thereby preventing dust and impurities from entering the interior of the barrel body 10. On the contrary, when feeding is required, the cover plate 31 can be opened to expose the feeding port 21 for convenient feeding of materials. The moving manner of the cover plate 31 can be translation, rotation, flipping, rotation, etc., which is not limited herein. Translation is to perform a linear movement in the horizontal direction on the cover plate 31 by using components such as guide rails and sliders; rotation is to fix one side edge of the cover plate 31 by using a fixed rotating shaft 33, and the entire cover plate 31 performs an arc movement of reverse rotation; rotation is to fix a point of the cover plate 31 by using a rotating shaft 33, and the entire cover plate 31 performs a planar rotational movement along the rotating shaft 33. No matter which moving manner is adopted, the position of the cover plate 31 can be changed, from opening the feeding port 21 by the cover plate 31 to covering the feeding port 21, or from covering the feeding port 21 to opening the feeding port 21, all of which can be achieved
[0037] Optionally, the cover plate 31 can be replaced by other materials or components in some cases. For example, a transparent plastic plate, a metal plate or other types of protective covers can be used to achieve similar functions. These substitutes can not only provide necessary protection, but also adjust their sizes, shapes and materials according to specific requirements to adapt to different application scenarios. In addition, in some cases, glass, plexiglass (acrylic) or other transparent materials can be used to replace the cover plate 31 in order to maintain visual permeability while providing protection. When selecting a suitable substitute, its durability, impact resistance and compliance with safety standards in a specific environment need to be considered.
[0038] The locking member 32 is movably connected to the hopper 20 at one end and is used to lock the cover plate 31 at the other end. After the cover plate 31 covers the feed inlet 21, it is necessary to fix the cover plate 31 to prevent the offset and shaking of the cover plate 31. The locking member 32 can play a role in locking the cover plate 31 in the corresponding position to ensure that it will not move randomly. When it is necessary to open or close the cover plate 31, the locking member 32 can be unlocked so that the cover plate 31 can move freely. This design not only ensures the convenience of operation but also ensures the safety and reliability of the equipment during use. What can the locking member be
[0039] The locking member 32 can be various mechanical devices for fixing or connecting two or more components. They are usually used to ensure that the components remain in the correct position during assembly or use and prevent loosening or falling off. The locking member 32 can include various forms such as bolts, screws, nuts, washers, pins, buckles, clamps, adhesives, welding points, etc. In this application, the locking member 32 can be the cooperation of a bolt and a threaded hole, or the cooperation of a lock catch and a lock hole, or the cooperation of a buckle and a clamping hole. These locking members 32 achieve a firm connection between the components through different mechanical principles, such as friction, mechanical engagement, chemical bonding, etc.
[0040] Furthermore, the number of the cover plates 31 is two. One side edges of the two cover plates 31 are respectively movably connected to the opposite side edges of the feed inlet 21, and the two cover plates 31 move to cover or open the feed inlet 21.
[0041] The total number of the cover plates 31 is two. One side edges of the two cover plates 31 are respectively fixed to the opposite side edges of the feed inlet 21 by means of movable connection. The two cover plates 31 can move to cover or open the feed inlet 21, so as to achieve flexible control of the feed inlet 21. And the setting of the two cover plates 31 can reduce the occupied space after being opened, improve the space utilization rate, and avoid excessive interference with the operation of feeding materials into the feed inlet 21.
[0042] Furthermore, as Figure 1 - Figure 3 shown, the dust-proof assembly 30 further includes a rotating shaft 33. One end of the rotating shaft 33 is connected to the edge of the feed inlet 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to one side edge of the cover plate 31. The cover plate 31 rotates to cover or open the feed inlet 21.
[0043] In this embodiment, the dust-proof component 30 further includes a rotating shaft 33. One end of the rotating shaft 33 is carefully designed to be tightly connected to the edge of the feed inlet 21 to ensure a firm combination between the two. The other end of the rotating shaft 33 is ingeniously designed to be rotatably connected, forming a flexible hinge structure with one side edge of the cover plate 31. This design enables the cover plate 31 to easily perform a rotational movement, thereby realizing the function of covering or opening the feed inlet 21. With this structure, the user can conveniently control the opening and closing state of the feed inlet 21, ensuring that in different working environments, the feed inlet 21 can effectively prevent the intrusion of dust and other impurities, thus maintaining the cleanliness and normal operation of the interior of the device.
[0044] Further, as Figure 3 shown, the length of one of the cover plates 31 in the connection direction with the feeding hopper 20 is greater than that of the other cover plate 31. When both cover plates 31 cover the feed inlet 21, the protruding part of one cover plate 31 overlaps on the other cover plate 31.
[0045] In this embodiment, the length of one of the cover plates 31 in the connection direction with the feeding hopper 20 is significantly greater than that of the other cover plate 31. When both of these cover plates 31 cover the feed inlet 21, a part of the longer cover plate 31 will protrude and overlap on the shorter cover plate 31, so as to cover the gap between the two cover plates 31 after they are covered. This design ensures the tight fit between the cover plates 31, thereby effectively preventing the leakage or spillage of materials during the feeding process. In this way, the sealing performance of the entire feed inlet 21 is significantly improved, ensuring the normal operation of the device and the safety of operation.
[0046] Further, as Figure 3 shown, the dust-proof component 30 further includes a limiting member 34. The limiting member 34 is connected to one side edge of the feeding port close to the connection between the feed inlet 21 and the cover plate 31. When the cover plate 31 opens the feed inlet 21, the limiting member 34 abuts against the cover plate 31.
[0047] In this embodiment, the dust-proof component 30 further includes a limiting member 34. This limiting member 34 is connected to the cover plate 31 by connecting to one side edge of the feeding port close to the feed inlet 21. When the cover plate 31 is opened and the feed inlet 21 is exposed, the limiting member 34 will abut against the cover plate 31 to ensure that the cover plate 31 will not move excessively during the opening process, thus playing a role in limiting.
[0048] Further, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 shown, the dust-proof component 30 further includes a connecting seat 35. A locking member 32 is connected to the surface of one cover plate 31, and a connecting seat 35 is connected to the surface of the other cover plate 31. When both cover plates 31 cover the feed inlet 21, the locking member 32 moves to lock or unlock with the connecting seat 35.
[0049] In this embodiment, the dust-proof component 30 not only includes two cover plates 31, but also includes a connecting seat 35. Specifically, a locking member 32 is provided on the surface of one of the cover plates 31, and a connecting seat 35 is provided on the surface of the other cover plate 31. Such a design enables the locking member 32 to move flexibly when the two cover plates 31 are simultaneously closed over the feed inlet 21, so as to perform locking or unlocking operations with the connecting seat 35. This structure not only ensures the sealing performance of the feed inlet 21, but also provides a convenient and quick disassembly and installation method, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency and operation convenience of the equipment.
[0050] Furthermore, as Figure 4 shown, the dust-proof member further includes a sealing member 36. The sealing member 36 is connected to the edge of the feed inlet 21. When the two cover plates 31 are both closed over the feed inlet 21, the sealing member 36 is located between the feeding hopper 20 and the cover plate 31.
[0051] In this embodiment, the dust-proof member not only includes the sealing member 36, but also includes some other key components. The sealing member 36 is an important dust-proof component, which is designed to be connected to the edge of the feed inlet 21. When the two cover plates 31 are both closed over the feed inlet 21, the sealing member 36 is precisely embedded between the feeding hopper 20 and the cover plate 31, ensuring a tight fit between the two, thereby effectively preventing dust and impurities from entering the interior of the equipment. This design not only improves the sealing performance of the equipment, but also extends the service life of the equipment, ensuring the smooth progress of the production process. Through this precise structural design, it is possible to effectively prevent dust and impurities in the external environment from polluting the interior of the equipment, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the equipment and the quality of the products.
[0052] Furthermore, as Figure 2 shown, the dust-proof component 30 further includes a handle 37. The handle 37 is connected to the surface of the cover plate 31.
[0053] In this embodiment, the dust-proof component 30 further includes a specially designed handle 37. This handle 37 is carefully designed to be conveniently connected and fixed to the surface of the cover plate 31. Users can easily hold the handle 37, thereby more conveniently opening or closing the dust-proof cover plate 31. Secondly, the presence of the handle 37 makes the movement of the cover plate 31 more stable and safe, reducing the risk of the cover plate 31 slipping or being damaged due to improper operation. And for the case where two cover plates 31 are provided, each of the two cover plates 31 is provided with a handle 37, so that it is convenient for users to separately open or close one cover plate 31 or both cover plates 31 simultaneously, improving the convenience.
[0054] Furthermore, as Figure 4 shown, the length of the cover plate 31 in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction with the feeding hopper 20 is greater than the width of the feed inlet 21.
[0055] In this embodiment, the length of the cover plate 31 in the direction perpendicular to the connection direction with the feeding hopper 20 is greater than the width of the feeding port 21. When the cover plate 31 is closed outside the feeding port 21, it is ensured that the feeding port 21 can be completely covered, thereby effectively preventing the leakage or overflow of materials during the feeding process and ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the equipment.
[0056] Further, the material of the cover plate 31 is stainless steel or aluminum alloy.
[0057] In this embodiment, the material of the cover plate 31 can be selected from two materials, stainless steel or aluminum alloy. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and high strength, can remain stable in a harsh environment, is not easy to rust, and is easy to clean and maintain. Aluminum alloy is favored for its light weight, high strength and good heat conduction performance, and is suitable for occasions where the overall weight needs to be reduced. Each of these two materials has its own advantages, and the most suitable material for the cover plate 31 can be selected according to specific application requirements and environmental conditions. Optionally, the material of the cover plate 31 can also be other materials such as plastic or acrylic.
[0058] It can be understood that the above embodiments only represent the preferred implementation modes of the present utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present utility model; it should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can also be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model; therefore, all equivalent transformations and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present utility model shall fall within the scope covered by the claims of the present utility model.
