Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extruder technology, specifically to a feeding mechanism for a planetary extruder. Background Technology
[0002] Planetary extruders are developed based on extruder technology. Extruders are processing equipment widely used in industries such as plastics, rubber, and food. Their main function is to transform solid materials into a continuous and uniform molten state through processes such as heating, plasticizing, and extrusion, and then extrude them through a die. Planetary extruders adopt planetary gear transmission technology, which is a highly efficient transmission method that enables the coordinated movement of multiple gears, thereby improving extrusion efficiency and mixing effect.
[0003] Traditional extruders typically prioritize extrusion efficiency while often limiting mixing efficiency and uniformity. Due to the limited mixing method, plastic granules may not be fully mixed during extrusion, leading to inconsistent product quality. For example, Chinese patent CN205705212U discloses a planetary extruder equipped with a continuous feeding device. This device can thoroughly plasticize the raw material through the powerful extrusion and shearing of the planetary extruder, reducing raw material crystal points and improving product quality. Although this device has many beneficial effects, it still has the following problems: when mixing multiple types of granules, it is easy to cause uneven mixing ratios, resulting in delamination during heated extrusion.
[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, when extruding mixed plastic granules, the internal structure of the mixing and conveying device can be used to uniformly and efficiently mix and convey them, making it easier for mass production. Therefore, we propose a pushing mechanism for a planetary extruder. Utility Model Content

The heating column 22 is fixed on one side of the inner wall of the planetary extrusion gear roller 4 to heat the plastic granules, making them softer and easier to extrude. Under the extrusion action of the planetary extrusion gear roller 4, the plastic is pushed to the output end of the extrusion cylinder 2 and finally extruded through the discharge port 3.
