AI Technical Summary
In existing single-screw extruders, plastic granules are prone to clogging in the hopper, resulting in poor feeding.
A chute is installed on the outer wall of the feed hopper, and a vibrating block is slidably connected inside the chute. The vibrating block is driven to move back and forth by a reciprocating mechanism, which reduces the adhesion and friction between plastic particles. A limiting component is used to prevent the vibrating block from moving, ensuring that the plastic particles flow loosely.
It effectively reduces plastic particle clogging, improves the flowability of plastic particles in the feed hopper, ensures smooth entry into the barrel, and facilitates the disassembly and installation of the vibrating block and reciprocating mechanism.
