Twin-screw extruders can be further divided into co-rotating twin-screw and counter-rotating twin-screw extruders. Co-rotating twin-screw extruders are more widely used because their conical shape allows for better and stronger extrusion. Extruders typically consist of an extrusion screw and an external barrel. The barrel can be integral or modular.

[0003] When existing extruders are in operation, the feeding into the hopper can easily cause blockage, affecting the overall production efficiency.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a co-rotating conical twin-screw extruder. Utility Model Content

[0023] Example:

[0024] This application discloses a co-rotating conical twin-screw extruder. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4The equipment includes a machine compartment 1, a bucket screen mechanism 2 on the top of the machine compartment 1, anti-clogging mechanisms 3 at the four corners of the top of the bucket screen mechanism 2, a matching extrusion pipe 5 on one side of the outer wall of the machine compartment 1, a uniformly distributed mounting frame 6 on the outer wall of the extrusion pipe 5, an extrusion groove 7 passing through the matching extrusion pipe 5, an extrusion mechanism 4 passing through the side of the machine compartment 1 away from the matching extrusion pipe 5, a stabilizing base mechanism 8 at the bottom of the machine compartment 1 and the mounting frame 6, the extrusion mechanism 4 extending through the machine compartment 1 into the matching extrusion pipe 5, and the lower half of the anti-clogging mechanism 3 extending into the bucket screen mechanism 2, with the lower half of the anti-clogging mechanism 3 located between the inner walls of the bucket screen mechanism 2. The main body of the equipment is the machine compartment 1, with the bucket screen mechanism 2 designed on its top. The bucket screen mechanism not only handles the initial feeding of raw materials but also promotes uniform distribution through its special structure, ensuring efficient extrusion. To address potential material blockage, anti-blocking mechanisms 3 are installed at the four top corners of the bucket screen mechanism 2, effectively preventing material accumulation and blockage during the feeding process and ensuring the continuity and stability of the extrusion process. The lower part of the anti-blocking mechanism extends deep into the bucket screen mechanism, precisely targeting areas prone to blockage, achieving a synergistic anti-blockage effect. An extrusion mechanism 4 is located on the side of the machine chamber 1 away from the matching extrusion pipe 5. This mechanism, through its design of penetrating the machine chamber and extending into the matching extrusion pipe 5, achieves efficient material extrusion. The matching extrusion pipe 5 contains an extrusion groove 7, further guiding and optimizing the extrusion process. To enhance the overall stability and ease of installation, stable base mechanisms 8 are installed at the bottom of both the machine chamber 1 and the mounting frame 6. These bases not only effectively distribute the weight of the equipment and reduce pressure on the ground but also ensure the stability and reliability of the equipment during operation through their robust structural design.

[0025] The bucket screen mechanism 2 includes a feed hopper 201. Hydraulic telescopic rods 202 are provided at the four corners of the bottom periphery of the feed hopper 201, and the bottoms of the hydraulic telescopic rods 202 are fixed to the top of the machine compartment 1. A folded pipe 203 is provided at the conical bottom of the feed hopper 201, and the feed hopper 201 is connected to the machine compartment 1 through the folded pipe 203. Through the synergistic action of the feed hopper 201, the hydraulic telescopic rods 202, and the folded pipe 203, the bucket screen mechanism 2 achieves efficient screening and stable transmission of raw materials, ensuring that the raw materials can smoothly and continuously enter the machine compartment and provide strong support for the subsequent extrusion process. It can adapt to the processing needs of raw materials of different types or states.

[0026] The anti-clogging mechanism 3 includes a top support rod 301, with a top mounting plate 302 positioned opposite each other on the top of the top support rod 301. An anti-clogging drive motor 303 is mounted on the top of the top mounting plate 302, and its output end extends through the top mounting plate 302 to below it. A linkage rod 304 is positioned at the bottom of the top mounting plate 302, and the output end of the anti-clogging drive motor 303 is connected to the linkage rod 304. A fixing ring 305 is positioned at the bottom of the linkage rod 304, and a conical spiral agitator 306 with a conical spiral shape is positioned at the bottom of the fixing ring 305. The conical spiral agitator 306 is located opposite each other on the inner wall of the feed hopper 201 and is the core component of the anti-clogging mechanism. Its conical spiral design allows the agitator to generate a strong stirring effect when rotating, effectively dispersing and agitating the raw materials in the feed hopper, preventing blockage or accumulation. Meanwhile, the conical design of the stirring rod facilitates its penetration into the bottom and corners of the feed hopper, ensuring comprehensive and uniform mixing. The fixing ring 305 is installed at the bottom of the linkage rod 304, serving to fix and support the conical thread stirring rod 306. It ensures that the stirring rod maintains a stable posture and position during rotation. The anti-clogging drive motor 303, installed on the top of the top mounting plate 302, is the power source for the entire anti-clogging mechanism. Its output end passes through the top mounting plate 302 and extends downwards, transmitting power to the linkage rod 304 through a mechanical connection, thereby driving the conical thread stirring rod 306 to rotate. The anti-clogging mechanism 3, through the synergistic action of the top support rod 301, the top mounting plate 302, the anti-clogging drive motor 303, the linkage rod 304, the fixing ring 305, and the conical thread stirring rod 306, achieves effective mixing and anti-clogging functions for the raw materials in the feed hopper 201.

[0027] The extrusion mechanism 4 includes a mounting base 401. Symmetrically arranged extrusion drive motors 402 are located on the side of the mounting base 401 away from the machine compartment 1, and the output ends of the extrusion drive motors 402 extend through the mounting base 401 into the machine compartment 1. Symmetrically arranged extrusion rods 403 are located on the side of the mounting base 401 away from the extrusion drive motors 402, and the extrusion rods 403 are connected to the output ends of the extrusion drive motors 402. The outer walls of each extrusion rod 403 are provided with circumferential, unidirectional threads 404. Through the synergistic action of the mounting base 401, the extrusion drive motors 402, the extrusion rods 403, and the unidirectional threads 404, the extrusion mechanism 4 achieves efficient extrusion of raw materials, ensuring that the raw materials remain uniform and stable during the extrusion process, thereby producing high-quality products. Simultaneously, the stability and durability of the extrusion mechanism 4 are fully guaranteed, meeting the needs of long-term continuous production.

[0028] The stabilizing base mechanism 8 includes a base 801. The bottom of the base 801 is provided with grid-shaped reinforcing ribs 802. A base pad 803 is provided at each intersection of the bottom of the reinforcing ribs 802. The base 801, as the main body of the stabilizing base mechanism 8, is in direct contact with the ground and bears the weight of the entire extruder. Its design must consider load-bearing capacity, stability, and corrosion resistance to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment during long-term operation. The grid-shaped reinforcing ribs 802 are provided at the bottom of the base 801 to improve its strength and rigidity and prevent deformation or damage under load. These reinforcing ribs, through reasonable layout and connection, form a stable support structure, effectively distributing the pressure on the base and enhancing its overall stability. Base pads 803 are provided at each intersection of the bottom of the reinforcing ribs 802. The base pads 803 are typically made of wear-resistant and non-slip materials, such as rubber or polyurethane. They not only increase the friction between the base and the ground, preventing the equipment from sliding or shifting during operation, but also reduce the vibration and noise generated during operation, improving the smoothness and comfort of the equipment's operation.

[0029] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
