[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] A twin-screw extruder for masterbatch production, such as Figures 1-4As shown, it includes a frame 1, a feeder 11, a motor 12, a screw 13, a mounting plate 2, a first support frame 21, a guide wheel 22, a slide bar 23 and a spring 24. The feeder 11 is fixedly connected to the left side of the top of the frame 1, and the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the left side of the frame 1. The front and rear sides of the frame 1 are rotatably connected, and the left sides of the two screws 13 are fixed with gears, and the two gears are engaged with each other. The output end of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to one of the screws 13. The front and rear parts of the right side of the frame 1 are slidably connected with slide bars 23. A spring 24 is fixed between the slide bars 23 and the frame 1. A mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected between the right ends of the two slide bars 23. Three groups of first support frames 21 distributed longitudinally in pairs front and back are fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 2, and a guide wheel 22 is rotatably connected between each pair of first support frames 21.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the threads of the two screw rods 13 are completely opposite.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, a group of guide wheels 22 in the middle of the top of the mounting plate 2 are tilted left and right to guide the masterbatch columns to avoid mutual adhesion.

[0028] When workers need to make masterbatch and extrude it, they can first pour the raw materials into the frame 1 through the feeder 11, and then start the motor 12, and drive the two threaded rods to rotate at the same time through the gears. The rotation of the threaded rods can stir the raw materials and transport the masterbatch to the discharge port of the frame 1. The masterbatch is then extruded and formed into a column. At this time, multiple masterbatch columns will be guided by adjacent guide wheels 22 respectively, especially a group of guide wheels 22 distributed longitudinally in the middle have different degrees of left and right inclination. At this time, the masterbatch column continues to move to the right, and the guide wheel 22 also rotates, so as to move and guide the multiple masterbatch columns and separate them from each other, so as to avoid the masterbatch columns from sticking together due to their close spacing, and causing the masterbatch subsequently separated to have different particle sizes, thereby affecting the production quality of the masterbatch.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a fan 3, a buffer orifice plate 31 and a second support frame 32. The fan 3 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the rack 1, and the second support frames 32 are fixedly connected to the front and back parts of the right side of the rack 1. The buffer orifice plate 31 is fixedly connected between the two second support frames 32.

[0031] When the masterbatch is just extruded, it is still soft and has a certain stickiness. In order to prevent the masterbatch from sticking to each other or sticking to the guide wheel 22, the worker can start the fan 3 to cool the masterbatch, accelerate the cooling and molding process of the masterbatch, and reduce the adhesion of the masterbatch. The presence of the buffer orifice 31 can guide the airflow, and at the same time, it can also block and buffer the airflow to a certain extent, to prevent the masterbatch from moving downward and getting stuck between two adjacent guide wheels 22 or causing a large degree of deformation due to excessive wind force, thereby affecting the production quality of the masterbatch.

[0032] Example 3

[0033] On the basis of Example 2, Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a movable frame 4, a wiper plate 41, a push block 42, a top block 43 and an electric slide rail 44. The front and rear parts of the right side of the frame 1 are fixedly connected to the electric slide rail 44. The movable frame 4 is slidably connected inside the electric slide rail 44. A wiper plate 41 is fixed between the two movable frames 4. The wiper plate 41 is slidably connected to the frame 1. A push block 42 is fixed to the bottom of the movable frame 4. The front and rear sides of the mounting plate 2 are fixedly connected to the top block 43. The push block 42 is squeezed and fitted with the adjacent top block 43.

[0034] like Figure 7 As shown, the bottom of the push block 42 is provided with an inclined surface.

[0035] After the masterbatch is extruded, a small amount of masterbatch may remain near the discharge port of the frame 1. At this time, the worker can start the electric slide 44 to drive the movable frame 4, the wiping plate 41 and the pushing block 42 to move downward. At this time, the pushing block 42 will first contact and squeeze the top block 43, causing the top block 43, the mounting plate 2 and the guide wheel 22 and other components to move to the right. The spring 24 is then compressed to prevent the wiping plate 41 from colliding with the guide wheel 22 and causing damage when moving downward. Then the wiping plate 41 moves downward and cleans the discharge port of the frame 1 to prevent a small amount of masterbatch from solidifying at the discharge port and blocking the extrusion of subsequent masterbatch columns. After the cleaning is completed, the movable frame 4, the wiping plate 41 and the pushing block 42 are driven by the electric slide 44 to move upward and reset, and the top block 43, the mounting plate 2 and the guide wheel 22 and other components are moved to the left and reset under the action of the spring 24.

[0036] The above is a detailed introduction to the present application. Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core idea of ​​the present application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, based on the idea of ​​the present application, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. In summary, the content of this specification should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.
