Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulator technology, and in particular to an anti-clogging mechanism for a granulator. Background Technology

[0002] Rotary granulators are widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, powdered medicine, chemical, and solid beverage industries. They are mainly used to form the required granules from well-mixed materials, and are particularly suitable for materials with high viscosity. The working principle of the equipment is to add the mixed materials into the feed cylinder, and the materials pass through the holes of the screen cylinder under the pressure of the rotating blades, thereby forming granules.

[0003] The size of the particles is controlled by the screen cylinder holes. Sticky materials tend to stick to the screen cylinder holes, causing blockage. Usually, a brush is used to manually clean the screen cylinder holes to prevent material from clogging them. However, soft brush bristles can easily remain in the screen cylinder holes during cleaning, while hard brushes can easily damage the surface of the screen cylinder. Therefore, we propose an anti-clogging mechanism for the granulator. Utility Model Content

[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an anti-clogging mechanism for a pellet mill includes a pellet mill body 1 and a feed pipe 11. An anti-clogging component 2 is installed on the feed pipe 11. The anti-clogging component 2 uses compressed air to unclog the mesh on the feed pipe 11 in a non-contact manner. The anti-clogging component 2 includes a mounting ring 21, an air guide pipe 22, an air jet head 23, and a locking member 24. The mounting ring 21 is connected to the feed pipe 11 through a bearing. The air guide pipe 22 is fixedly connected in the limiting groove of the mounting ring 21. The air jet head 23 is evenly distributed along the air guide pipe 22. The air jet head 23 is perpendicular to the mesh on the feed pipe 11. The locking member 24 is used to fix the position of the mounting ring 21.

[0037] Therefore, when cleaning the residue retained in the mesh of the feed pipe 11, the air guide pipe 22 is connected to the external compressed air pipe. Compressed air enters the air guide pipe 22 and is blown into the mesh of the feed pipe 11 through the jet nozzle 23. Then, the mounting ring 21 is rotated by the bearing, and the mounting ring 21 drives the air guide pipe 22 to rotate periodically around the feed pipe 11, thereby blowing off the impurities remaining in the mesh of the feed pipe 11 to clean the mesh of the feed pipe 11 and prevent the feed pipe 11 in the pellet mill body 1 from becoming blocked.

[0038] Furthermore, the feed pipe 11 is used to convey materials into the pellet mill body 1. There are discharge mesh holes distributed on the outer periphery of the feed pipe 11. The mounting ring 21 can rotate along the outer periphery of the feed pipe 11. The air guide pipe 22 is connected to the external compressed air pipe. Multiple jet nozzles 23 are provided, and the jet nozzles 23 are arranged along the vertical direction of the air guide pipe 22. The jet nozzles 23 and the mesh holes on the feed pipe 11 are arranged vertically to facilitate compressed air blowing towards the feed pipe 11. When the mounting ring 21 does not need to rotate, the locking member 24 is used to fix the mounting ring 21.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a feeding assembly 3 is installed on the feeding pipe 11. The feeding assembly 3 includes a feeding shell 31, a slide rod 32, an insert plate 33, a spacer plate 34, a connecting plate 35, a reset component 36, and a driving component 37. The bottom discharge hole of the feeding shell 31 is connected to the feeding pipe 11. The slide rod 32 is inserted into the through hole of the feeding shell 31. The insert plate 33 is fixedly connected to one end of the slide rod 32 located in the cavity of the feeding shell 31. The connecting plate 35 is fixedly connected to the end of the slide rod 32 away from the feeding shell 31. A spacer plate 34 is inserted between adjacent insert plates 33. The spacer plate 34 is fixedly connected to the side of the feeding shell 31 away from the slide rod 32. The reset component 36 is used to drive the connecting plate 35 to reset. The driving component 37 is used to push the connecting plate 35 to move laterally.

[0040] Furthermore, the bottom of the feed shell 31 is machined with a discharge port, the slide bar 32 slides laterally in the through hole on the side wall of the feed shell 31, the insert plate 33 is located between adjacent partition plates 34, and the connecting plate 35 connects multiple slide bars 32 together, and the connecting plate 35 drives multiple slide bars 32 to move laterally together. When the material is put into the feed shell 31, the staggered partition plates 34 and insert plates 33 disperse the material to prevent the material from clumping.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the reset component 36 includes a push rod 361, a cylinder 362, a baffle 363, and an elastic element 364. One end of the push rod 361 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 35, and the other end of the push rod 361 is inserted into the cavity of the cylinder 362. The baffle 363 is fixedly connected to the end of the cylinder 362 away from the push rod 361, and the end of the baffle 363 away from the cylinder 362 is fixedly connected to the feed shell 31. The elastic element 364 is inserted into the cavity of the cylinder 362 and is located between the push rod 361 and the baffle 363.

[0042] Furthermore, when the push rod 361 moves in the cavity of the cylinder 362, it drives the connecting plate 35 to move. The baffle 363 is used to fix the cylinder 362 and the feed shell 31. The elastic potential energy of the elastic element 364 drives the push rod 361 to reset in the cylinder 362, and then the push rod 361 drives the connecting plate 35 to reset.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive unit 371 includes a connector 371, a motor 372, a rotating shaft 373, and a cam 374. The motor 372 is connected to the pellet mill body 1 through the connector 371. The rotating shaft 373 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 372. The cam 374 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 373 away from the motor 372. The outer periphery of the cam 374 abuts against the connecting plate 35.

[0044] Furthermore, the connector 371 is used to fix the position of the motor 372 on the pellet mill body 1, and the rotating shaft 373 is used to drive the cam 374 to rotate, and the rotation of the cam 374 pushes the connecting plate 35 to shift.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the connector 371 includes a U-shaped frame 371a and a bolt 371b. The top end of the U-shaped frame 371a is fixedly connected to the motor 372, and the U-shaped frame 371a is connected to the pellet mill body 1 by the bolt 371b.

[0046] Furthermore, the top of the U-shaped frame 371a is used to support the motor 372, and the bolts 371b are used to connect the U-shaped frame 371a and the pellet mill body 1.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the locking member 24 includes an ear plate 241 and a positioning pin 242. The bottom end of the ear plate 241 is fixedly connected to the mounting ring 21, and the ear plate 241 is connected to the feed tube 11 through the positioning pin 242.

[0048] Furthermore, the ear plate 241 and the mounting ring 21 are arranged vertically, the outer wall of the positioning pin 242 is machined with threads, and the feed pipe 11 is machined with a groove that matches the positioning pin 242.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a flange 221 is fixedly connected to the top end of the air duct 22. The flange 221 is used to connect to an external compressed air pipeline.

[0050] Furthermore, the design of flange 221 makes the connection between the external compressed air pipeline and air guide pipe 22 more convenient.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the side of the connecting plate 35 away from the slide bar 32 is machined with an arc-shaped protrusion.

[0052] Furthermore, the arc-shaped protrusion on the connecting plate 35 facilitates its contact with the cam 374, allowing the cam 374 to push the connecting plate 35 to move laterally.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, elastic element 364 is a compression spring.

[0054] Furthermore, the elastic element 364 is designed as a compression spring to facilitate the reset of the push rod 361 within the cylinder 362.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the insert plate 33 and the spacer plate 34 are arranged alternately.

[0056] Furthermore, with the insert plate 33 and the partition plate 34 arranged alternately, the material fed into the feed shell 31 can be squeezed and dispersed.

[0057] The working principle of this application is illustrated below with a preferred embodiment:

[0058] The motor 372 is started, and the motor 372 drives the cam 374 to rotate via the shaft 373. The protruding part of the cam 374 contacts the protruding part of the connecting plate 35, and the cam 374 pushes the connecting plate 35 to move laterally. As the sliding rod 32 moves laterally with the connecting plate 35, the insert plate 33 on the sliding rod 32 moves in the gap between the partition plates 34. When the cam 374 and the connecting plate 35 separate, the elastic element 364 drives the push rod 361 to reset in the cylinder 362, feeding the material into the feed shell 31. The reciprocating motion of the insert plate 33, in conjunction with the partition plates 34, disperses the material, allowing it to pass through... The bottom of the feed shell 31 enters the feed pipe 11 for processing. Under the pressure of the rotating grinding blade in the feed pipe 11, the material passes through the mesh of the feed pipe 11 and forms particles. The air guide pipe 22 is connected to the external compressed air pipe. Compressed air enters the air guide pipe 22 and is blown into the mesh of the feed pipe 11 through the jet head 23. The positioning pin 242 in the rotating ear plate 241 separates from the feed pipe 11. Then, the bearing rotating mounting ring 21 drives the air guide pipe 22 to rotate periodically around the feed pipe 11, thereby blowing off the impurities remaining in the mesh of the feed pipe 11 to clear the mesh of the feed pipe 11.

[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
