Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extruder technology, specifically to a loss-in-weight weighing platform for extruder feeding. Background Technology

[0002] Existing extruders typically require material to be poured into a hopper, then flow down through the hopper into a hopper containing a screw conveyor for extrusion. The extruded material then continues to be output as a cylindrical material through the screw conveyor from the discharge port. The cylindrical material is then cut into segments, and finally, the segments are packaged.

[0003] A loss-in-weight scale is a precision weighing device that allows for intermittent feeding and continuous discharge. Utilizing a high-precision weighing scale and PLC control system, it enables accurate measurement of materials. It is suitable for measuring and conveying materials in powder, granular, and liquid forms. In extruders, loss-in-weight scales are typically used for precise material feeding to control the material's entry. However, some existing loss-in-weight scales suffer from issues where highly viscous materials adhere to the inner wall, affecting the discharge process and potentially causing material agglomeration, thus reducing their effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a loss-in-weight weighing platform for extruder feeding, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as some highly viscous materials adhering to the inner wall of the loss-in-weight weighing platform, affecting the feeding, and the materials may clump together, reducing the effectiveness of use.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a loss-in-weight weighing platform for extruder feeding, comprising an extruder body, a loss-in-weight weighing body disposed at the feed port at the upper end of the extruder body, a stirring motor disposed at the upper end of the loss-in-weight weighing body, a rotating shaft disposed at the drive end of the stirring motor, a support rod disposed at the outer end of the rotating shaft, a scraper disposed at the end of the support rod away from the rotating shaft, the scraper abutting against the inner wall of the loss-in-weight weighing body, and a plurality of crushing blades disposed between the support rods.

[0008] Preferably, a temperature sensor is installed inside the weightless scale body, and an audible and visual alarm is installed at the upper end of the weightless scale body. The audible and visual alarm is electrically connected to the temperature sensor. The temperature sensor can detect the internal temperature of the weightless scale body, and when the temperature is too high, it will send a signal to trigger the audible and visual alarm.

[0009] Preferably, a cooling water tank is provided on one side of the weightless scale body, and a circulation pump is provided at the upper end of the cooling water tank, and the interior of the cooling water tank is convenient for storing cooling water.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the loss-in-weight scale body is provided with a circulating cooling pipe, and the water inlet end of the circulating cooling pipe is provided with a water inlet pipe. Through the setting of the circulating cooling pipe, the internal temperature of the loss-in-weight scale body can be carried away by the circulation of cooling water, so as to cool it down quickly.

[0011] Preferably, the return end of the circulating cooling pipe is provided with a return water pipe, and both the inlet pipe and the return water pipe are connected to the cooling water tank through a circulating pump.

[0012] Preferably, a liquid level observation strip is provided at the outer end of the cooling water tank, and a liquid filling pipe is provided at the upper end of the cooling water tank. The liquid filling pipe facilitates the addition of cooling water to the cooling water tank, and the liquid level observation strip facilitates the observation of the liquid level inside the cooling water tank, preventing over- or under-addition.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This loss-in-weight weighing platform for extruder feeding can start the stirring motor when feeding highly viscous materials. The stirring motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the scraper to rotate. The scraper scrapes off the material adhering to the inner wall of the loss-in-weight weighing platform, avoiding the problem of material adhering and affecting the feeding process and being difficult to clean. At the same time, the rotating shaft drives the crushing blade to rotate, which breaks up the lumps of material and prevents large pieces of material from clogging the feeding pipe. This makes the material feeding process smoother and improves the practicality of the loss-in-weight weighing platform for extruder feeding.

[0015] 2. This loss-in-weight weighing platform for extruder feeding first connects the inlet and outlet water pipes to the circulating pump and circulating cooling pipe in sequence during feeding. Then, a temperature sensor detects the internal temperature of the loss-in-weight weighing platform. When the temperature is too high, a signal is emitted to trigger an audible and visual alarm, thus reminding the operator to start the circulating pump. The circulating pump draws out the cooling water from the cooling water tank. Through the circulating cooling pipe, the internal temperature of the loss-in-weight weighing platform is carried away by the circulating cooling water, allowing it to cool down quickly and preventing the high temperature from melting some materials with low melting points. This improves the performance of the loss-in-weight weighing platform for extruder feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0026] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the loss-in-weight scale body 2 is preferably provided with a circulating cooling pipe 12, and the water inlet end of the circulating cooling pipe 12 is provided with a water inlet pipe 13. Through the arrangement of the circulating cooling pipe 12, the temperature inside the loss-in-weight scale body 2 can be carried away by the circulation of cooling water, so that it can be cooled down quickly.

[0027] In this embodiment, the return end of the circulating cooling pipe 12 is preferably provided with a return water pipe 14, and both the inlet pipe 13 and the return water pipe 14 are connected to the cooling water tank 10 through the circulating pump 11.

[0028] In this embodiment, the cooling water tank 10 is preferably provided with a liquid level observation strip 15 at its outer end and a liquid filling pipe 16 at its upper end. The liquid filling pipe 16 facilitates the addition of cooling water to the cooling water tank 10, and the liquid level observation strip 15 facilitates the observation of the liquid level inside the cooling water tank 10, preventing over- or under-addition of water.

[0029] In this embodiment, a loss-in-weight weighing platform for extruder feeding is first installed at the feed inlet of the extruder body 1.
