[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of screw cleaning devices for extruders, in particular to a screw cleaning device for a twin-screw extruder. Background Art

[0002] The screw of an extruder is one of the most important components of the extruder. It directly affects the output, quality and stability of the extruder. As the extruder is used for a long time, some materials will remain on the outer surface of the screw. These materials will be mixed with the new unmelted materials, affecting the quality and efficiency of the production products. Therefore, regularly cleaning the screw of the extruder can ensure the normal operation of the extruder and avoid various problems during the production process. However, the existing screw cleaning devices for extruders generally have the following technical problems in actual use:

[0003] There are various types of screws for extruders, including gradually changing types, abrupt change types, wavy types, barrier types, double-screen types, conical types, flow-dividing types, etc. The designs and characteristics of these screws are different.

[0028] The implementation principle of a screw cleaning device for a twin-screw extruder in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: The staff first docks one end of the removed screw with the second adapter block 10, and then rotates the assisting handle 4 to make the first threaded rod 11 rotate, pushing the first threaded sleeve 3 to move. At this time, the clamping plate 6 slides along the card slot 5, and the first threaded sleeve 3 pushes the first adapter block 7 at the front end to insert into the other end of the screw. Then, the first servo motor 9 is started, and the second adapter block 10 rotates to drive the screw to rotate. The second servo motor 17 is started, and the second threaded rod 15 rotates to push the second threaded sleeve 14 to move upward. At this time, one side of the limiting cylinder 19 slides along the outside of the limiting rod. The upward-moving second threaded sleeve 14 pushes the abrasive above to move upward as a whole until the screw surface is submerged by the abrasive. Through the forward and reverse reciprocating friction of the screw, the thorough cleaning of the screw surface can be realized.

[0029] The above implementation manners are only the preferred implementation manners of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention belong to the protection scope required by the present invention.
