AI Technical Summary
Existing plastic processing equipment suffers from efficiency issues during the mixing and heating process due to the need for equipment shutdown to clean up residual raw materials, and the simple mixing structure results in low mixing efficiency.
The storage tank is divided by a partition, and combined with a gravity detection component, a guide pipe, a rotating shaft and a spiral plate structure, the raw materials in the upper chamber are stirred and mixed. When the amount of raw materials in the upper chamber is insufficient, the sealing component automatically transfers the raw materials to the lower chamber. At the same time, the raw materials are preheated by a blower and a heater.
This ensures stable and uninterrupted operation of the equipment, improves mixing efficiency and heating effect, guarantees continuous production, and enhances operating efficiency and mixing uniformity.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic processing material supply technology, and in particular to a plastic processing material supply device. Background Technology
[0002] When plastics are being refined, raw plastic granules and additives need to be added to a storage tank and stirred. The mixed plastic is then extruded through an extruder to form the final product. The internal structure of existing storage tanks is relatively simple.
[0003] The technical solution disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN216914766U involves setting two feeding ports on the top cover plate of the feeding hopper, allowing different plastic raw materials to be added to the hopper simultaneously. A drive mechanism drives a rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring blades to rotate synchronously, achieving mixing of the plastic raw materials and ensuring thorough and uniform mixing. By incorporating a hot air fan and air inlet pipe, hot air can be delivered to the feeding hopper to preheat the plastic raw materials inside, ensuring they are at a certain temperature before entering the heated extrusion mechanism, thus improving the heating effect.
[0004] However, the device still has shortcomings: it needs to be shut down to remove the residual mixed materials before the materials to be mixed can be added again, which affects the operating efficiency and processing efficiency of the equipment. In addition, the stirring structure of the device is relatively simple, resulting in low mixing efficiency of the materials. Utility Model Content

This facilitates timely operation of the equipment and the addition of new raw materials to be mixed in the upper chamber. The coordinated structure of the guide pipe, rotating shaft, and spiral plate allows the stirring component on the rotating shaft to thoroughly stir the raw materials in the upper chamber, while the spiral plate continuously lifts the bottom layer of raw materials upwards, promoting rapid mixing between the upper and lower layers. A sealing component opens the bottom opening of the guide pipe when the remaining material in the upper chamber is low, allowing the remaining mixture to flow into the lower chamber. The sealing component then closes the lower outlet of the guide pipe. At this point, raw materials can be added to the upper chamber. While the upper chamber is stirring and mixing the raw materials, the material in the lower chamber continues to be discharged through the outlet pipe, ensuring stable operation of the equipment. The structure of a blower and heater facilitates preheating of the raw materials in the storage tank. Attached Figure Description

The feed pipe 8 is connected to and passes through the partition plate 5. The feed pipe 8 has through holes A81 and B82, with through hole A81 located below through hole B82 and its lower edge flush with the upper edge of the central hole in the partition plate 5. A rotating shaft 9 is inserted into and rotatably connected to the feed pipe 8. The top end of the rotating shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the lid of the storage tank 2. The rotating shaft 9 is coaxially connected to a spiral plate 10, which is located inside the feed pipe 8 and slidably connected to its inner wall. The stirring assembly includes a stirring paddle 13. A fixed rod 11 is mounted on the rotating shaft 9, and a stirring shaft 12, rotatably connected to and parallel to the rotating shaft 9, is mounted on the fixed rod 11.

The circular ring 15 is connected to a scraper 14, and the lower end of the stirring shaft 12 is connected to the scraper 14. The scraper 14 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the partition plate 5 and the arc surface of the feed pipe 8. A gear 16 is coaxially connected to the top of the stirring shaft 12, and an external gear ring 17 coaxial with the rotating shaft 9 is provided at the bottom of the bucket lid.
