Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screen changer technology, specifically a screen changer for a plastic extruder. Background Technology

[0002] Plastic extruders are used to plasticize and mold plastics. The extruder heats the raw material to turn the solid material into a uniform viscous fluid. Under the action of the extrusion mechanism of the extruder, the molten material is continuously extruded from the die head at a certain pressure and speed to become the desired plastic part. The screen changer is usually installed in the die head of the plastic extruder.

[0003] CN 103935016 A discloses a screen changer for a plastic extruder. It includes a first die plate and a second die plate connected together, a filter plate disposed between the first and second die plates, and a sealing element disposed between the second die plate and the filter plate. A sealing ring, comprising multiple separable sealing blocks, is also disposed between the second die plate and the filter plate. When molten material flows through the screen changer, the material exerts pressure on the sealing ring, causing it to expand. The sealing blocks disperse and press against the sealing element. The inclined surface of the bell mouth pushes the sealing element, causing the sealing blocks and the sealing element to press and move against each other, thus tightly sealing the various components of the screen changer and filling the gap between the two die plates. This achieves a sealing effect, solves the problem of material leakage in the screen changer, eliminates the need for manual cleaning and maintenance, saves costs, and improves efficiency.

[0004] The existing technical solutions described above have the following drawbacks: the screen changer is not easy to disassemble, is not thoroughly cleaned, cannot replace the filter screen, cannot repeatedly clean the filter screen, has high operating costs, weak sealing, and raw materials may leak during processing. Therefore, this utility model provides a screen changer for a plastic extruder to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a screen changer for a plastic extruder, comprising a mounting shell 1, an extruder inlet 2, a gripping rod 3, an upper conical tooth 4, a lower conical tooth 5, a screw 6, a sleeve 7, a retaining ring 8, a sealing gasket 9, a filter screen 10, a positioning rod 11, a mounting block 12, a bolt 13, a nut 14, a positioning key 15, and a spring 16.

[0026] The handle 3 is located at the rear end of the mounting shell 1. The outer end of the handle 3 is equipped with an upper conical tooth 4, and the front end of the upper conical tooth 4 is connected to a lower conical tooth 5. The front end of the lower conical tooth 5 is connected to a screw 6. The outer side of the screw 6 is fitted with a sleeve 7, and a fixing ring 8 is installed inside the sleeve 7. A sealing gasket 9 is installed inside the fixing ring 8, and a filter screen 10 is installed inside the sealing gasket 9.

[0027] The positioning rod 11 passes through the upper end of the filter screen 10. Mounting blocks 12 are installed on both the left and right ends of the positioning rod 11. Bolts 13 are installed on the outer side of the upper end of the extruder port 2, and nuts 14 are connected to the lower end of the bolts 13. A positioning key 15 is installed at the front end of the extruder port 2, and a spring 16 is provided at the outer end of the positioning key 15.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, two upper conical teeth 4 are symmetrically installed at the left and right ends of the gripping rod 3, and the lower end of the upper conical teeth 4 is connected to the lower conical teeth 5 by meshing. The screw 6 passes through the inside of the sleeve 7, and the inside of the screw 6 is connected to the sleeve 7 by threads. The screen changer can be connected to the extruder port 2 by bolts 13 and fixed by nuts 14. When in use, the gripping rod 3 is rotated, so that the upper conical teeth 4 at the right end of the gripping rod 3 meshes with the lower conical teeth 5 and rotates. The lower conical teeth 5 drives the screw 6 to rotate, so that the sleeve 7 sleeved on the outer end of the screw 6 can move forward. When the fixing ring 8 moves forward to the inside of the extruder port 2, when the groove at the front end of the fixing ring 8 slides to the positioning key 15, the positioning key 15 engages with the front end of the fixing ring 8 to position the filter screen 10, thereby facilitating the use of the extruder. A sealing gasket 9 is provided between the fixing ring 8 and the filter screen 10. The sealing gasket 9 can prevent the raw material from leaking during the processing, which is highly practical.

[0029] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper end of the filter screen 10 and the fixed ring 8 form a rotating structure, and the lower end of the filter screen 10 is connected to the fixed ring 8 by a snap-fit ​​method. The front end of the fixed ring 8 is symmetrically provided with slots that fit the protruding part of the inner end of the positioning key 15, and the inside of the positioning key 15 is connected to the fixed ring 8 by a snap-fit ​​method. The positioning key 15 is symmetrically arranged about the central axis of the extruder port 2, and the positioning key 15 forms a sliding structure inside the extruder port 2. When the screen changer has been used for a long time and a large number of ABS discolored particles are attached to the surface of the filter screen 10, making it inconvenient for extruder processing, the handle 3 can be rotated in the opposite direction, so that the lower conical tooth 5 drives the screw 6 to rotate counterclockwise and bring out the fixed ring 8, thereby facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the filter screen 10. The positioning rod 11 can be pulled out from the inside of the filter screen 10 to disassemble the filter screen 10 for cleaning or replacement with a new filter screen 10. The design of this disassembly structure allows the filter screen 10 to be repeatedly cleaned and reused, thereby reducing the operating cost of the device.

[0030] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.
