Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tooling fixtures, in particular to a tooling fixture used for disassembling a screw rod of a polyolefin plastic extruder. Background Art

[0002] Plastics processing equipment is a crucial component in mechanical engineering, with plastic extruders being a common type of equipment, primarily used to extrude plastic raw materials into desired products. The core component of a plastic extruder is the screw, which mixes, pressurizes, and extrudes the plastic, directly impacting the extruder's performance and the quality of the finished product. Therefore, screw manufacturing and maintenance are key areas of research in the field of plastics processing equipment. In the field of fixture design, fixtures are devices used to secure workpieces and maintain their correct position and orientation during processing. Fixture design directly impacts machining accuracy and efficiency, making it particularly important in machining and assembly processes. Conventional single-screw replacement typically involves disassembling the barrel and mold connection, disconnecting the screw from the gearbox, and then connecting a rotating screw to the tail of the screw. This is then gradually rotated to propel the screw forward from the barrel outlet. Due to screw length limitations, this process requires repeated adjustments and the use of a longer force transmission tool to achieve forward movement. This method is cumbersome, time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. For example, disassembly of a 120*33 single screw takes more than two hours, and is prone to damage and deformation of the barrel, affecting the screw's reusability and extruder performance, reducing production efficiency. Therefore, existing technologies in this field have significant problems and shortcomings, requiring further improvement. Utility Model Content
