Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a convenient feeding funnel device for an extruder, belonging to the technical field of feeding equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In modern industrial production, extruders are widely used in the processing and production of various materials. As an important component of the extruder, the performance of the feeding hopper directly affects the efficiency of the entire production process and the quality of the products.
[0003] Traditional extruder feeding hoppers are typically fixed in design, making it impossible to flexibly adjust their position according to production needs. This results in low production efficiency, significant material waste, and difficulties in cleaning and recycling. Furthermore, the loose connection between the feeding hopper and the extruder can easily lead to material leakage, further reducing production efficiency and product quality.
[0004] Therefore, designing a convenient, efficient, and mobile feeding funnel is of great significance for improving production efficiency and reducing production costs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of material blockage and cleaning that easily occur in the production process of traditional extruders, as well as the inconvenience of observation and disassembly; the low production efficiency, serious material waste, and inconvenience of cleaning and recycling of traditional extruders; and to propose a convenient material discharge funnel device for extruders.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a convenient feeding funnel device for an extruder, comprising a feeding funnel, a base, a power supply and a stirring motor.
[0007] The feeding funnel is a vertical inverted trapezoidal funnel structure with a receiving bucket at the bottom. A slide rail device is installed between the feeding funnel opening and the receiving bucket opening. The slide rail device includes a feeding funnel opening flange, a receiving bucket opening flange, and a sliding plate. A groove is left in the middle of the length direction between the two sides of the feeding funnel opening flange and the receiving bucket opening flange, and the sliding plate can slide in the groove. A stirring device is installed in the feeding funnel, and a Z-shaped stirring paddle is installed on its stirring shaft. The Z-shaped stirring paddle is adapted to the conical inner wall of the feeding funnel. Adjusting bolts are provided at the four corners of the feeding funnel opening flange and the receiving bucket opening flange. The adjusting bolts can clamp the feeding funnel opening flange and the receiving bucket opening flange and secure the sliding plate. Multiple discharge holes are opened on the sliding plate, and the size and shape of the discharge holes are determined as needed. A discharge port is provided on the lower side wall of the receiving bucket.
[0008] The stirring motor is installed at the top center of the feeding hopper and connected to the stirring shaft; the Z-shaped stirring blade on the stirring shaft can squeeze the material along the axis to the opening of the feeding hopper.
[0009] The feeding funnel is mounted on the base via a bottom receiving bucket flange.
[0010] The adjusting bolt is used to control the movement of the slide plate. When extrusion is required, the adjusting bolt is loosened and the slide plate slides along the chute until the discharge hole on the slide plate is aligned with the discharge funnel opening. The adjusting bolt is then tightened and extrusion begins. When extrusion is not required, the adjusting bolt is loosened and the slide plate slides to the position where the slide plate closes the discharge funnel opening. The adjusting bolt is then tightened.
[0011] The receiving hopper has an observation window on its wall, which is sealed with plexiglass. The observation window allows for timely observation of whether the extruder is clogged, so that it can be cleaned in time.
[0012] The top side of the feeding funnel is also provided with a feeding port.
[0013] The discharge hopper flange and the receiving barrel flange are rectangular structures with a groove along their length. The groove is slightly wider than the slide plate to allow the slide plate to slide through it.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a convenient feeding funnel device for extruders. A sliding rail device is installed at the feeding funnel, solving the problem of traditional extruder feeding funnels where the position can be flexibly adjusted according to production needs, thus improving production efficiency. This utility model device is equipped with an observation window, allowing for material stirring and timely observation of the feeding situation during use, facilitating cleaning in case of blockage or after use. This utility model device adopts a detachable design, facilitating quick connection and disassembly of the funnel body to the extruder. The connecting device includes bolts, nuts, and sealing gaskets to ensure a tight and leak-free connection. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.
[0021] This embodiment of a convenient feeding funnel device for an extruder includes a feeding funnel 4, a base 9, a power supply 3, and a stirring motor 2.
[0022] In this embodiment, the feeding funnel 4 is a vertical inverted trapezoidal funnel structure, consisting of a stirring part, a funnel opening, and a receiving bucket from top to bottom; a slide rail device 11 is provided between the funnel opening and the receiving bucket.
[0023] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the slide rail device 11 includes a discharge funnel flange 12, a receiving bucket flange 13, and a sliding plate 14. A groove is provided at the midpoint of the length between the two sides of the discharge funnel flange 12 and the receiving bucket flange 13, allowing the sliding plate 14 to slide within the groove. The slide rail device is installed at the bottom of the discharge funnel body, enabling the funnel to move freely in the horizontal direction. This design in this embodiment allows the discharge funnel to be flexibly adjusted in position according to production needs, improving production efficiency.
[0024] In this embodiment, a stirring device is installed in the feeding funnel 4, and a Z-shaped stirring paddle 5 is installed on its stirring shaft. The Z-shaped stirring paddle 5 is adapted to the conical inner wall of the feeding funnel. Adjusting bolts 6 are installed at the four corners of the feeding funnel port flange 12 and the receiving barrel port flange 14. The adjusting bolts 6 can clamp the feeding funnel port flange 12 and the receiving barrel port flange 13 and fasten the sliding plate 14. Multiple discharge holes are opened on the sliding plate 14, and the size and shape of the discharge holes are determined as needed. Below the slide rail device 11 is the receiving barrel 8, and the lower side wall of the receiving barrel 8 is provided with a discharge port 9.
