[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 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a plastic particle extruder, including an extruder body 1. The extruder body 1 includes a longitudinally extending cylindrical shell 1.1, two screws 1.3 disposed within the inner cavity of the cylindrical shell 1.1 and rotatably sleeved at the front and rear ends of the middle portions of the front and rear walls of the cylindrical shell 1.1, a die head 1.2 disposed in the middle portion of the rear wall of the cylindrical shell 1.1, and a transmission mechanism disposed at the front end of the cylindrical shell 1.1 for driving the two screws 1.3 to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. A heating and melting structure is integrated inside the cylindrical shell 1.1 to form a twin-screw extruder. The feed inlet 1.1.1 is located at the front end of the middle portion of the top surface of the cylindrical shell 1.1. In the transmission mechanism, an end frame 1.5 is fixedly connected to the bottom front end of the cylindrical shell 1.1. The screw 1.3 passes through the front end of the front wall of the cylindrical shell 1.1 and is fixedly fitted with mutually meshing gears 1.4. An extrusion motor 1.6 is fixedly installed on one side of the front wall of the end frame 1.5. The power output shaft of the extrusion motor 1.6 is fixedly connected to the front end of one of the screws 1.3.
[0026] The support frame 2 spans both sides of the front end of the extruder body 1.
[0027] The two sides of the hopper 3 are fixed to the top of the support frame 2 respectively.
[0028] The receiving component 4 includes a base plate 4.1 fixedly connected to the top front surface of the extruder body 1, and a housing 4.2 fixedly fitted onto the base plate 4.1 at its bottom end and directly opposite the feed inlet 1.1.1. The two side walls of the housing 4.2 are respectively provided with sliding grooves 4.2.1 in the horizontal direction. The base plate 4.1 is fixedly connected to the top front surface of the cylindrical housing 1.1 by bolts.
[0029] The feed cylinder 5 is movably disposed longitudinally within the housing 4.2, and short shafts 5.1 are fixed on both sides of the feed cylinder 5 and are slidably engaged with the slide groove 4.2.1.
[0030] The top and bottom ends of the telescopic material tube 6 are fixedly connected to the bottom opening of the hopper 3 and the top of the feed cylinder 5, respectively. The telescopic material tube 6 can be a telescopic corrugated pipe.
[0031] The drive unit 7 is used to drive the feed cylinder 5 to reciprocate back and forth within the housing 4.2. The drive unit 7 includes a frame 7.1 with its bottom end fixed to the rear end of one side of the top surface of the base plate 4.1, a drive motor 7.2 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the frame 7.1, a disc 7.3 fixedly mounted on the power output shaft of the drive motor 7.2, and a connecting rod 7.4 rotatably connected to the outer edge of the disc 7.3 at its rear end. The front end of the connecting rod 7.4 is rotatably sleeved on the outer end of the short shaft 5.1.
[0032] In summary, during use, plastic particles enter the front end of the inner cavity of the cylindrical shell 1.1 from the hopper 3 via the telescopic feed tube 6 and the feed cylinder 5. The twin-screw structure, in conjunction with the integrated heating and melting structure within the cylindrical shell 1.1, completes the extrusion molding. During the feeding process, the drive motor 7.2 rotates the disc 7.3. The rotating disc 7.3, through the connecting rod 7.4, drives the short shaft 5.1 to slide back and forth within the groove 4.2.1, thereby creating an oscillating effect within the shell 4.2 of the feed cylinder 5. This ensures smooth feeding of the plastic particles and prevents clogging.
[0033] To prevent the inner cavity of the housing 4.2 from being exposed when the feed cylinder 5 moves back and forth within the housing 4.2, thus avoiding the problem of foreign objects easily falling into the housing 4.2 through the opening, a sealing plate 5.2 with its bottom surface in contact with the housing 4.2 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the feed cylinder 5. This ensures that the sealing plate 5.2 always fully covers the opening of the housing 4.2 when the feed cylinder 5 moves back and forth within the housing 4.2.
