[0033] The housing 1 is also provided with a discharge port 14, and a first extrusion roller 15 is provided above the discharge port 14. The first extrusion roller 15 is movably disposed inside the housing 1 via a rotating shaft. The first extrusion roller 15 cooperates with the second extrusion roller 3 below the housing 1, so that the slurry is evenly spread on the towel. The distance between the first extrusion roller 15 and the second extrusion roller 3 is adjustable.

[0034] Specifically, the stirring roller 22 is disposed inside the headbox body 1. Both ends of the stirring roller 22 are movably connected to corresponding bearing seats 23 via stirring end shafts 21. The bearing seats 23 are disposed on the headbox body 1. The stirring end shafts 21 are movably connected to the bearing seats 23, with one stirring end shaft 21 serving as the driving shaft and the other as the driven shaft. (See attached specification). Figure 4 The diagram shows a schematic of the drive shaft, which includes a drive unit 213. This drive unit 213 is used to connect to an external drive unit, which can be a motor.

The second end cap 234 is sleeved on the protruding ring, and the third sealing ring 237 is squeezed and filled between the second end cap 234 and the protruding ring of the stirring end shaft.

[0045] In an optimized implementation, the number of bearings 232 is two, and the two bearings 232 are disposed between the first end cover 233 and the third shoulder 216, with a retaining ring 238 provided between the two bearings 232. The two bearings 232 are positioned together by the retaining ring 238, and the bearing 232 closer to the third shoulder 216 abuts against the third shoulder 216.

[0046] Optimized implementation methods, as shown in the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 8 As shown, the base 231 is provided with an oil nozzle 239 for easy lubrication. Lubricating oil is added under positive pressure inside the base to prevent it from flowing into the bearing housing from the rotary seal.

[0047] In an optimized implementation, the second sealing ring 236 is a lip seal, and / or the third sealing ring 237 is a lip seal, wherein the third sealing ring 237 is preferably a double-lip seal, used for rotational sealing between the stirring end shaft 21 and the second end cover 234.

[0048] In the optimized implementation, a fourth sealing ring is provided between the first end cap 233 and the second end cap 234 and the base 231, respectively. The end cap and the base are statically sealed through the fourth sealing ring, which has a good sealing effect and is not prone to leakage.
