Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plastic raw material preheating technology, specifically to plastic raw material preheating equipment based on hot air circulation. Background Technology
[0002] In the plastics processing industry, preheating of plastic raw materials is a crucial step, aimed at improving the flowability of plastic granules and facilitating subsequent processing and molding. Currently, a common preheating method involves injecting the plastic raw materials into a mixing tank, agitating the materials using a stirring mechanism, and simultaneously injecting hot air into the tank to achieve preheating while stirring.
[0003] However, this preheating method has some drawbacks:
[0004] Existing mixing structures can only agitate plastic raw materials and cannot effectively clean the inner wall of the mixing tank. After prolonged use, plastic particles tend to adhere to the inner wall of the mixing tank, which not only affects the preheating effect of other plastic particles but may also cause damage to the inside of the preheating chamber, reducing the service life of the equipment.
[0005] The patent document with patent number CN220593714U proposes an improved preheating device. This device effectively avoids the problem of plastic particles adhering to the inner wall of the preheating barrel by setting up multiple through slots, elongated plates, guide rods and circular scrapers.
[0006] However, during the preheating process, the hot air emitted by this equipment is usually discharged directly into the workshop environment without treatment. This hot air often contains odors produced by the heating of plastic particles. These odors are not only unpleasant but may also contain harmful substances. Long-term inhalation can have adverse effects on the physical and mental health of workers. At the same time, the direct emission of hot air also results in energy waste. Utility Model Content

[0041] Example 3
[0042] like Figures 1-6 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following:
[0043] The purification component 71 includes a purification box 711, which is fixedly connected to the top surface of the mounting frame 1.

[0045] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:
[0046] In use:
[0047] In operation, the operator first injects the plastic raw material into the preheating cylinder 2 through the feed hopper 6. After injection, the valve in the feed hopper 6 is closed, and the air injection fan 723 and the heating chamber 73 are started. When the air injection fan 723 is working, it begins to inject outside air into the air supply pipe 76, which then injects the air into the heating chamber 73. At this point, the heating rods in the heating chamber 73 begin to heat the injected air. After the air is heated, it is conveyed into the hollow stirring shaft 31 by the conveying pipe 77. At this point, the drive motor 5 is started. The drive motor 5 drives the hollow stirring shaft 31 to rotate via a sprocket and chain. When the hollow stirring shaft 31 rotates, it drives the U-shaped rod 32, the stirring rod 33, and the inclined stirring rod 35 to rotate. When the U-shaped rod 32, the stirring rod 33, and the inclined stirring rod 35 rotate, they begin to stir the plastic raw material in the preheating cylinder 2, preventing plastic particles from adhering to the inner wall of the preheating cylinder 2. During stirring, hot air flows through the hollow stirring shaft 31 into the stirring rod 33 and the inclined stirring rod 35. Finally, the air is discharged through the first exhaust port 34 and the second exhaust port 36. During discharge, it comes into contact with and heats the plastic raw material inside the preheating cylinder 2. The hot air then flows upwards towards the preheating cylinder 2, passing over the column filter 41. Dust and impurities carried in the air are intercepted by the column filter 41. The hot air inside the column filter 41 then passes through the square cover 42 into the return pipe 74, and finally into the purification box 711. At this point, the hot air passes through the drying plate 71. 2 (The drying plate 712 consists of two parts: a breathable mesh plate with a highly absorbent resin placed inside. This absorbs moisture from the high-temperature gas, and the high-temperature gas with absorbed moisture passes through the drying plate 712 to the activated carbon plate 713. At this point, the activated carbon plate 713 begins to remove some of the odor from the high-temperature gas, and the hot air that has removed moisture and odor enters the air box 721. Finally, the air that has been injected also enters the heating box 73, achieving the reuse of heat.)
[0048] When the hollow stirring shaft 31 rotates, it will also drive the cleaning shaft 43 to rotate through the sprocket assembly and chain. When the cleaning shaft 43 rotates, it will drive the cleaning plate 45 to rotate. When the cleaning plate 45 rotates, it will start to clean the column filter screen 41 and prevent the column filter screen 41 from becoming clogged.
[0049] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.
