They can be paired with various plastic molding auxiliary machines, such as those for pipes, films, rods, sheets, profiles, pelletizing, and cable wrapping, to form various plastic extrusion production lines and produce a variety of plastic products. Screw extruders are continuous processing equipment, and the ability to maintain stable feeding significantly impacts the fluctuation of the extruder's output, which in turn determines the performance stability of the subsequent molded products.

[0026] This utility model provides a metering feeding system for solid-liquid synchronous feeding. Figure 1 and Figure 2, including a solid-liquid synchronous feeding hopper 1, a solid material metering feeding device 2, a liquid material metering feeding device 3 and a screw extruder 4; the solid-liquid synchronous feeding hopper 1 mainly has three cavities, including an inner solid feeding chamber 11, an outer liquid feeding chamber 12 and a mixing feeding chamber 13 at the bottom; the solid feeding chamber 11 is separated from the liquid feeding chamber 12, and both are connected to the mixing feeding chamber 13; the solid material metering feeding device 2 is connected to the solid feeding chamber 11, for continuously conveying solid material into the solid feeding chamber 11; the liquid material metering feeding device 3 is connected to the liquid feeding chamber 12, for continuously conveying liquid material into the liquid feeding chamber 12; after the solid material and the liquid material are preliminarily mixed in the mixing feeding chamber 13, they are injected into the feed port of the screw extruder 4.

[0027] This metering feeding system for synchronous solid-liquid feeding can achieve synchronous conveying of materials with different solid-liquid ratios by adjusting the material conveying capacity of the loss-in-weight single-screw feeder and the metering pump. Specifically, the loss-in-weight single-screw feeder achieves precise metering of solid materials, while the metering pump achieves precise metering of liquid materials, solving the problem of uneven material ratios. Through the design of the synchronous solid-liquid feed hopper, the solid and liquid materials are separately conveyed to the feed port of the screw extruder, and then preliminarily mixed in the mixing feed chamber above the feed port before feeding. In addition, a feeding component is added to the solid feed chamber to allow the solid and liquid materials to be preliminarily mixed at the bottom of the feed hopper, preventing bridging and blockage at the feed port of the screw extruder, thereby solving the problems of poor mixing and fluctuating conveying capacity.

[0028] Specifically, the mixing feed chamber 13 is arranged between the bottom of the solid-liquid synchronous feed hopper 1 and the feed port of the screw extruder 4 ; the liquid feed chamber 12 is arranged on the outside of the solid-liquid synchronous feed hopper 1 close to the mixing feed chamber 13 .

[0029] Furthermore, a feeding assembly 5 is provided in the solid-liquid synchronous feeding hopper 1, which includes a motor 51 and a feeding screw 52. One end of the feeding screw 52 is connected to the motor shaft 53 of the motor 51; the other end extends to the feed port of the screw extruder 4 and engages with the screw in the feed port of the screw extruder 4, rotating synchronously to prevent the material from returning.

[0030] Specifically, the solid feed chamber 11 of the solid-liquid synchronous feed hopper 1 gradually becomes smaller from top to bottom, and the solid material metering feeding device 2 is connected to the upper part of the solid-liquid synchronous feed hopper 1. The upper feed chamber is slightly larger to facilitate rapid feeding; the lower feed chamber is slightly smaller to ensure the continuity of feeding.

[0031] In one embodiment, the solid material metering and feeding device 2 is a loss-in-weight single-screw feeder.

[0032] Furthermore, the liquid feed chamber 12 and the solid feed chamber 11 form an annular gap with a relatively small volume to prevent the material in the mixing feed chamber 13 from flowing back into the liquid feed chamber 12 .

[0033] Specifically, the liquid material metering feeding device 3 includes a material tank, a metering pump and a liquid material pipe; one end of the metering pump is connected to the material tank through the liquid material pipe, and the other end is connected to the liquid feeding chamber 12 through the liquid material pipe.

[0034] During operation, the solid material is first conveyed into the solid feed chamber 11 by a loss-in-weight single-screw feeder, and then the solid material is conveyed downward by the feeding assembly 5 provided in the solid-liquid synchronous feeding hopper 1; then the liquid material is conveyed into the liquid feed chamber 12 by a metering pump, and is conveyed to the mixing feed chamber 13 at the bottom by gravity and pressure; through the rotation of the feeding screw 52, ​​the solid material and the liquid material are mixed at the bottom and then injected into the feed port of the screw extruder, finally achieving uniform, stable and continuous solid-liquid synchronous feeding.

[0035] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of the present invention. Any changes and modifications made by ordinary technicians in the field of the present invention based on the above disclosure shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims.
