[0020] The following is a detailed description of the specific implementation of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0021] Example:
[0022] The accompanying drawings show a specific embodiment of the utility model of an easy-to-maintain twin-screw extruder. Figure 1 It mainly includes a frame 1, on which a motor 2, a gear box 3, and a main barrel 4 are connected in sequence. An "8"-shaped groove is provided in the main barrel 4, and a screw is provided in each of the two grooves of the "8"-shaped groove. The motor 2 is connected to the two screws through the gear box 3 to drive the screws to rotate.
[0023] The main barrel 4 is connected to a feeding device 5, the discharge port of which is connected to a horizontal screw feeding mechanism 6, which is connected to a vertical screw feeding mechanism 7, which is connected to the main barrel 4. The material in the feeding device 5 is fed into the "8"-shaped groove of the main barrel 4 through the horizontal screw feeding mechanism 6 and the vertical screw feeding mechanism 7, and is extruded by the screw conveyor.
[0024] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 5 The main barrel 4 is connected by several sections of barrels. The main barrel 4 includes an upper barrel 401 and a lower barrel 402. One side of the lower barrel 402 is hinged to one side of the upper barrel 401 through a torsion spring. Figure 2 The middle torsion spring is not shown. In a free state, the torsion spring applies an outward force to the lower barrel 402 to separate the upper barrel 401 from the lower barrel 402 .
[0025] The top end of the hinged side of the upper barrel 401 is provided with a mounting plate 12, on which are mounted a plurality of spaced cylinders 10, each corresponding to one side of each section of the main barrel 4. The bottom end of the hinged side of the lower barrel 402 is provided with a plurality of spaced tightening blocks 8, each corresponding to one cylinder 10.
[0026] Each tightening block 8 is provided with a guide channel 9, which comprises, from bottom to top, a tightening section 901, a release section 902, and an adjustment section 903, which are interconnected. The output shaft of each cylinder 10 is connected to a guide head 11, each guide head 11 being disposed within a corresponding guide channel 9. The guide heads 11 can move up and down within the guide channels 9 and cooperate with torsion springs to control the opening and closing angles of the lower barrel 402. The tightening section 901 of the guide channel 9 cooperates with the guide heads 11 to tightly press the lower barrel 402 against the upper barrel 401. As the guide heads 11 move from bottom to top, they gradually release and open the lower barrel 402.
[0027] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 6A Z-shaped plate 13 is provided on the other side of the lower barrel 402, opposite the hinged side. A clamping plate 14 is provided on the other side of the upper barrel 401, opposite the hinged side. Clamping plate 14 has a slot 141 for the Z-shaped plate 13 to engage. A limiting slide 15 is slidably connected to clamping plate 14 for positioning the Z-shaped plate 13. When the limiting slide 15 slides below the top plate of the Z-shaped plate 13, it can be positioned. In this embodiment, each section of the main barrel 4 is equipped with a Z-shaped plate 13, a clamping plate 14, and a limiting slide 15.
[0028] When the twin-screw extruder of this embodiment needs to open the main barrel 4, refer to Figure 7 , first slide the limiting slide 15 to one side of the Z-shaped plate 13 and release the Z-shaped plate 13. Figure 3 Then, the cylinder 10 is used to drive the guide head 11 to rise from the tightening section 901 to the releasing section 902. The lower barrel 402 is acted upon by gravity and the force of the torsion spring, and begins to rotate and separate from the upper barrel 401. Figure 4 The cylinder 10 continues to drive the guide head 11 to rise, moving from the release section 902 to the adjustment section 903, and the lower barrel 402 continues to open to a certain angle to facilitate cleaning and maintenance of the interior of the main barrel 4.

Their purpose is to enable those familiar with the art to understand the present invention and implement it accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications based on the spirit of the main technical solution of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
