DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 5 The utility model is described in detail.

[0022] The utility model discloses a density meter assembled on the diverter pipe of an extruder, comprising an extrusion pipe 1, a diverter 2 is provided at one end of the extrusion pipe 1, a guide pipe 21 is provided at the end of the diverter 2, the guide pipe 21 is made of metal and the guide pipe 21 can be externally connected to a discharge pipe, a plug-in pipe 22 is provided on the guide pipe 21, a density meter 3 is provided at one end of the plug-in pipe 22, a controller 31 is provided in the density meter 3, a sensor 32 is provided below the controller 31, a plurality of sensors 32 are provided, and the sensor 32 is in the shape of a sleeve, an electrical signal conducting component is provided inside the sensor 32, and a sensor 32 is provided below the sensor 32. A movable plate 33 that can be raised and lowered is provided on the side, a positioning column 34 that can extend into the sensor 32 is provided above the movable plate 33, a limit plate 35 is provided at the bottom of the sensor 32, an elastic member 36 is provided between the movable plate 33 and the limit plate 35, an air valve 37 is provided in the middle of the movable plate 33, one end of the air valve 37 is provided with a detection tube 38 that passes through the plug tube 22 and extends to the inside of the guide tube 21, an expandable probe 381 is provided at the end of the detection tube 38, an air pipe 371 is provided at the other end of the air valve 37, and an air pump 372 connected to the air pipe 371 is provided on the density meter 3. When the densitometer is in use, the detection tube 38 extends into the flow conduit 21. The air pump 372 inflates the interior of the detection tube 38, causing the probe 381 to expand. The expanded width of the probe 381 is then greater than the inner diameter of the plug-in tube 22. The air valve 37 then closes. The fluid flowing within the flow conduit 21 pushes against the probe 381, causing the detection tube 38 to move backward, thereby moving the movable plate 33 toward the stop plate 35. During this process, the positioning post 34 continues to extend into the sensor 32, and the elastic member 36 begins to accumulate elastic force, exerting a certain resistance on the movable plate 33. The sensor 32 senses the position of the positioning post 34 and transmits an electrical signal to the controller 31, thereby detecting the density of the fluid in the flow conduit 21. This allows for high-precision fluid density detection. A locking sleeve 23 is provided on the exterior of the plug-in tube 22. The locking sleeve 23 has a threaded portion a231. The densitometer 3 has a threaded portion b301 that mates with the threaded portion a231. The locking sleeve 23 secures the densitometer 3 to the plug-in tube 22. During disassembly, the air in the probe 381 can be released through the air valve 37 to shrink the probe 381 to a size that allows it to pass through the insertion tube 22. The locking sleeve 23 can then be unscrewed. The detection tube 38 can then be pulled out of the insertion tube 22, thereby disassembling the density meter 3. The density meter 3 is easy and quick to repair, maintain, and replace.

[0023] The plug tube 22 is provided with a threaded portion c221 on the outside, and the locking sleeve 23 is provided with a threaded portion d232 threadedly connected to the threaded portion c221. This structure can ensure a stable connection between the locking sleeve 23 and the plug tube 22, improve the stability of the density meter 3 after installation, and prevent the density meter 3 from loosening.

[0024] A limiting ring 222 is further provided on the outside of the plug-in tube 22. The limiting ring 222 is used to limit the movable position of the locking sleeve 23 to prevent the threaded portion d of the locking sleeve 23 from being disconnected from the threaded portion c221 of the plug-in tube 22.

[0025] One end of the extrusion tube 1 is provided with a connecting ring 11. The diverter 2 is provided with a first connecting shell 24 movably connected to the connecting ring 11 and a second connecting shell 25 detachably connected to the first connecting shell 24. The flow guide tube 21 is provided on the second connecting shell 25. In this solution, the diverter 2 is a rotatable split structure, and the second connecting shell 25 of different shapes and performances can be replaced according to usage requirements, providing diverse functions.

[0026] A rotating ring 251 is provided on the outside of the second connecting shell 25. A staff member can operate the rotating ring 251 to rotate the diverter 2 so as to adjust the direction of the outlet end of the flow guide pipe 21.

[0027] The second connecting shell 25 is further provided with a positioning ring 252 on the outside, and the first connecting shell 24 is provided with a tensioner 241 for securing the positioning ring 252. After the second connecting shell 25 is transferred to the first connecting shell 24, the positioning ring 252 is secured to the first connecting shell 24 by the tensioner 241, making the second connecting shell 25 easy to install and remove.

[0028] The second connecting shell 25 is provided with three support columns 26, each of which is provided with a connecting plate 261. A positioning sleeve 262 is sleeved on the outside of the plug-in tube 22, and the positioning sleeve 262 is connected to the three connecting plates 261. In this solution, the plug-in tube 22 is relatively slender and has a certain length, and the density meter 3 is relatively large. The support columns 26 secure the positioning sleeve 262, providing a strong support force for the plug-in tube 22 and preventing it from bending.

[0029] The diverter 2 is provided with a filter 27. The filter 27 is installed in the first connecting shell 24 and is used to filter impurities and particles in the fluid material flowing from the extrusion tube 1 to the diverter 2. After removing the second connecting shell 25, the filter 27 can be easily removed from the first connecting shell 24, making it convenient to clean and replace the filter 27.

[0030] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. The contents of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
