Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gearbox technology, specifically to a gearbox for an extruder. Background Technology
[0002] A gearbox is a mechanical transmission device mainly used to transmit power and change the direction of speed and torque. It is widely used in various mechanical equipment, such as automobiles, industrial equipment, and spacecraft. Gearboxes achieve the required transmission ratio through different types of gear combinations.
[0003] Screw extruders rely on the pressure and shear force generated by the rotation of the screw to fully plasticize and uniformly mix materials, which are then formed through a die. Plastic extruders can be basically classified into twin-screw extruders, single-screw extruders, and less common multi-screw extruders and screwless extruders.
[0004] Gearboxes are also required on extruders. Depending on the type of extruder, there are single-shaft or double-shaft gearboxes. However, existing double-shaft gearboxes do not have a filter structure and cannot filter the gear oil inside the gearbox. Therefore, a gearbox for extruders is proposed. A water pump draws out the gear oil from the gearbox, and a filter screen filters out impurities, powder, etc. The filtered gear oil flows back into the gearbox. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a gearbox for an extruder, in which a water pump extracts gear oil from the gearbox, and a filter screen filters out impurities, powder, etc., from the inside of the gearbox. The filtered gear oil then flows back into the gearbox.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the input shaft rotates, it drives the central shaft to rotate. At the same time, the central shaft rotates through the tooth groove and transmission gear. The water pump works to extract the gear oil from the housing, and the filter screen filters out impurities, dust and other debris inside.
[0009] Specifically, a first protective component is provided at one end of the housing. The first protective component includes a first sleeve welded to one end of the housing. A first sealing sleeve is fitted on the inner side of the first sleeve near the housing. A first ring cover is fixed to one side of the first sleeve by bolts. The input shaft passes through the first sleeve. A bearing is fitted on the outer side of the input shaft inside the first sleeve.
[0010] Specifically, the housing is provided with second protective components at both ends on the side away from the first protective sleeve. The second protective components include second protective sleeves welded to both ends on one side of the housing. A second sealing sleeve is fitted on the inner side of the second protective sleeve near the housing. A second ring cover is fixed to one side of the second protective sleeve by bolts.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] (1) The extruder gearbox of this utility model is provided in which the water pump is turned on to draw out the gear oil in the gearbox through the oil outlet pipe, and then transports it to the box through the connecting pipe. The impurities and dust in the gear oil are filtered by the filter screen, and the filtered gear oil flows back to the box through the oil return pipe to avoid impurities and dust increasing the wear of the transmission gears and tooth grooves.
[0016] (2) The extruder gearbox described in this utility model drives the input shaft and the central shaft at one end of the twin-screw extruder to rotate through the drive motor, and drives the output shaft to rotate through the tooth groove and transmission gear, thereby driving the two screws of the twin-screw extruder to rotate.

[0027] When in use, the input shaft 10 rotates, driving the central shaft 4 to rotate. At the same time, the central shaft 4 rotates through the toothed groove 6 and the transmission gear 7. The water pump 201 works to extract the gear oil from the housing 1, and the filter screen 207 filters out impurities, dust, etc. inside it.
[0028] For example, see question 2. Figure 5 As shown, the present invention also includes a first protective component 8 provided at one end of the housing 1. The first protective component 8 includes a first protective sleeve 801 welded to one end of the housing 1. A first sealing sleeve 802 is fitted on the inner side of the first protective sleeve 801 near the housing 1. A first ring cover 803 is fixed to one side of the first protective sleeve 801 by bolts. The input shaft 10 passes through the first protective sleeve 801. A bearing is fitted on the outer side of the input shaft 10 inside the first protective sleeve 801.
[0029] In use, the input shaft 10 is sleeved on the first sheath 801 through a bearing, which can improve the stability of the input shaft 10 and the central shaft 4. The first sealing sleeve 802 seals between the first sheath 801, the input shaft 10, and the housing 1.
