DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] This embodiment provides a cooling mechanism for the extrusion channel of a twin-screw extruder, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the cooling mechanism includes a twin-screw extruder body 1, an extrusion channel bottom plate 11 containing cooling water and fixedly installed on the twin-screw extruder body 1, and an industrial chiller unit 2 located on one side of the twin-screw extruder body 1 for temperature control and regulation of the extrusion channel bottom plate 11.
[0024] An outlet pipe 21 is fixedly installed on the output end of the industrial chiller unit 2, and a return pipe 22 is fixedly installed on the input end of the industrial chiller unit 2. An outlet distribution pipe 23 is fixedly installed on the end of the outlet pipe 21 away from the industrial chiller unit 2, and a return distribution pipe 24 is fixedly installed on the end of the return pipe 22 away from the industrial chiller unit 2. Several outlet connectors 25 arranged in a linear array are fixedly installed on the outlet distribution pipe 23, and several return connectors 26 arranged in a linear array and symmetrically arranged with respect to the outlet connectors 25 are fixedly installed on the return distribution pipe 24. Cooling pipes 27 are fixedly installed on each group of adjacent outlet connectors 25 and return connectors 26. The cooling pipes 27 penetrate the bottom of the extrusion channel bottom plate 11 and extend into the extrusion channel bottom plate 11. The cooling pipes 27 are arranged in an S-shape within the extrusion channel bottom plate 11.
[0025] During use, cooling water is injected into the bottom plate 11 of the extrusion channel to cool the extrusion channel of the twin-screw extruder body 1. At the same time, the industrial chiller unit 2 inputs chilled water into the liquid distribution pipe 23 through the liquid outlet pipe 21, and into the cooling pipe 27 through the liquid outlet connector 25. Then, the water flows back into the industrial chiller unit 2 through the other end of the cooling pipe 27, the liquid return connector 26, and the liquid return distribution pipe 24. The evenly distributed cooling pipes 27 provide constant cooling control for the cooling water that absorbs heat in the bottom plate 11 of the extrusion channel, ensuring that the cooling water cools at the same temperature throughout. Compared with fan cooling, the heat dissipation is more uniform and reliable, avoiding excessive temperature difference that could lead to a decrease in output quality, and is more stable and reliable.
[0026] Specifically, the temperature sensor module 28 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the extrusion channel bottom plate 11, and the detection end of the temperature sensor module 28 extends into the extrusion channel bottom plate 11. In use, the water temperature in the extrusion channel bottom plate 11 is monitored in real time by the temperature sensor module 28, so as to adjust the cooling power in real time by the industrial water chiller 2, and ensure that the water temperature in the extrusion channel bottom plate 11 is kept constant, and the processing environment in the equipment is stable.
[0027] More specifically, the water inlet pipe 29 and the water outlet pipe 210 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the extrusion channel bottom plate 11, and the valve 211 is fixedly installed on the water inlet pipe 29 and the water outlet pipe 210. The water level sensor module 212 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the extrusion channel bottom plate 11, and the detection end of the water level sensor module 212 extends into the extrusion channel bottom plate 11. In use, when it is necessary to replace the cooling water in the extrusion channel bottom plate 11, the valve 211 is opened, the water in the extrusion channel bottom plate 11 is discharged through the water outlet pipe 210, and then water is injected through the water inlet pipe 29. The water level sensor module 212 monitors the water level in real time, and timely supplements or replaces the water, which is convenient and fast.
[0028] Further, the base 213 is fixedly installed in the extrusion channel bottom plate 11 at the bottom of the cooling pipeline 27, the clamping groove 214 is formed in the base 213 and matched with the cooling pipeline 27, and the cooling pipeline 27 is clamped in the clamping groove 214. In use, the cooling pipeline 27 is installed and clamped on the clamping groove 214 of the base 213 to support the cooling pipeline 27, so as to ensure the stability of the cooling pipeline 27 and avoid deformation.
[0029] Embodiment 2
[0030] Different from embodiment 1, long-term cold and hot changes can cause the cooling water in the extrusion channel bottom plate 11 to scale in the cooling pipeline 27 and the extrusion channel bottom plate 11, which affects the heat dissipation effect. Therefore, the ultrasonic generator 3 is fixedly installed on the double-screw extruder body 1, and the ultrasonic vibrator 31 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the double-screw extruder body 1 and electrically connected with the ultrasonic generator 3. In use, the ultrasonic generator 3 is started, the cooling water in the extrusion channel bottom plate 11 is vibrated by the ultrasonic vibrator 31, the dirt in the cooling pipeline 27 and the extrusion channel bottom plate 11 is removed, and then discharged through the water outlet pipe 210, so as to ensure the cooling effect.
[0031] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can make equivalent replacement or change according to the technical solution and concept of the present application within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application.
