Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of thermoplastic composite material extrusion technology, and in particular relates to a material uniform dispersion device for thermoplastic composite material extrusion. Background Technology
[0002] Thermoplastic composite extrusion is a plastic molding process that involves heating a thermoplastic composite material to a viscous state, then pressing it through an extrusion die to form a continuous body with a cross-section similar to the die shape. The material is then cooled and solidified into a glassy state, and finally cut to obtain plastic products with specific geometric shapes and dimensions. This process is suitable for producing products such as pipes, rods, plates, and profiles with irregular cross-sections. It features continuous production, high automation, easy process control, and stable product quality.
[0003] In existing thermoplastic composite extrusion, the lack of effective pre-dispersion measures in the hopper and the absence of a reasonable flow guiding structure in the hopper make it easy for materials to agglomerate, flow along the wall, or stagnate locally, making it difficult to distribute evenly. Moreover, the core of thermoplastic composites is the synergistic effect of the resin matrix and the reinforcing material. If the reinforcing material is not dispersed evenly during extrusion, it will lead to excessively high or low concentrations of the reinforcing material in local areas, directly affecting the mechanical properties and surface quality of the extruded product, which is not conducive to its use.
[0004] To address these issues, we provide a material uniform dispersion device for thermoplastic composite extrusion, which solves the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0015] 1. This utility model uses a rapid dispersion component to drive a stirring shaft to rotate via a drive motor. Simultaneously, through the meshing transmission of gears and toothed plates, the drive motor moves laterally back and forth along the slide bar. During the rotation and stirring process, the stirring shaft covers different areas laterally of the hopper, forcibly breaking up the agglomerated structure formed by the material flowing against the wall, eliminating the dispersion dead zones caused by local stagnation, and ensuring that the material is evenly distributed in both vertical and horizontal directions.
[0016] 2.

A dispersing mechanism 37 is provided at the top of the inner cavity of the hopper 1. The auxiliary dispersing component 4 includes a stabilizing frame 41.

Cams 43 are provided on both sides of the front side of the push plate 42. The top of the rotating shaft 34 passes through the adjusting frame 2 and is fixedly connected to the cams 43.
[0027] Specifically: the adjusting frame 2 facilitates the installation and fixing of the toothed plate 36; the limiting mechanism 31 is used to limit the two drive motors 32; the stirring shaft 33 can cooperate with the drive motors 32 to stir and disperse the material, so that the resin matrix and reinforcing material are evenly mixed; the rotating shaft 34 can cooperate with the drive motors 32 to control the rotation of the gear 35 and the cam 43; the gear 35 can cooperate with the toothed plate 36 to control the position of the two drive motors 32; the cam 43 can cooperate with the push plate 42 to control the hopper 1 to swing back and forth continuously, increasing the dispersion effect of the material; and the stabilizing frame 41 can increase the stability of the hopper 1 and prevent the hopper 1 from tipping over during the swinging process.
[0028] Example 2
[0029] Please see Figure 1-5 Based on Embodiment 1, the limiting mechanism 31 includes a slide rod 311, the bottom of which is fixedly connected to the hopper 1. Sliding sleeves 312 are slidably connected to both sides of the slide rod 311 surface. The opposite sides of the two sliding sleeves 312 are fixedly connected to the drive motor 32. The dispersing mechanism 37 includes a turntable 371, the top of which is fixedly connected to a dispersing plate 372. A rotary motor 373 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the hopper 1. The top of the output end of the rotary motor 373 penetrates the hopper 1 and is fixedly connected to the turntable 371. Adjustment... The top of the frame 2 is provided with a sliding groove that works with the rotating shaft 34. The surface of the rotating shaft 34 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. The rear side of the stabilizer 41 is fixedly connected with an electric push rod 5. The front side of the output end of the electric push rod 5 passes through the stabilizer 41 and is fixedly connected with an anti-slip plate 6. The top of the inner cavity of the push plate 42 is fixedly connected with a triangular reinforcing plate. The bottom of the stabilizer 41 is provided with mounting holes on both sides. The bottom of the left side of the hopper 1 is connected to a discharge pipe. The left end of the discharge pipe is fitted with a sealing cap. The two sides of the adjusting frame 2 are movably connected to the stabilizer 41 through bearings.
[0030] Specifically: the sliding sleeve 312 can slide smoothly left and right on the surface of the sliding rod 311. The sliding rod 311 and the sliding sleeve 312 enable the drive motor 32 to move smoothly left and right, improving the dispersion effect of the drive motor 32 and the stirring shaft 33 on the material. The rotary motor 373 can control the rotation of the turntable 371. The turntable 371 is used to control the rotation of the dispersing plate 372, so that after the material falls into the hopper 1, the material is thrown out by the rotating dispersing plate 372, avoiding the accumulation of material at the bottom of the hopper 1 and the inability to mix evenly. The sliding groove can facilitate the left and right movement of the rotating shaft 34.

The discharge pipe can discharge the dispersed and mixed material inside the hopper 1 to the extruder for extrusion.
[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When material is added to hopper 1, drive motor 32 starts and drives stirring shaft 33 to rotate. Since rotating shaft 34 is connected to drive motor 32, gear 35 rotates accordingly. The meshing action between gear 35 and toothed plate 36 causes drive motor 32 to move laterally back and forth along slide bar 311. Stirring shaft 33 moves laterally while rotating, covering material in different areas of hopper 1. During the stirring process, rotating motor 373 drives turntable 371 to drive dispersing plate 372 to rotate, quickly dispersing the material at the bottom of hopper 1, so that the various materials are evenly mixed. At the same time, rotating shaft 34 drives cam 43 to rotate synchronously. The wheel 43 periodically pushes the push plate 42, causing the hopper 1 to swing back and forth under the constraint of the stabilizer 41. The material is continuously reorganized and mixed under the action of the swing inertial force, avoiding local accumulation. Through the lateral movement of the stirring shaft 33 and the periodic swing of the hopper 1, the material is fully dispersed in the vertical and horizontal directions. After the mixing is completed, the electric push rod 5 is turned on, and the electric push rod 5 pushes the anti-slip plate 6 to press against the hopper 1 to prevent the hopper 1 from continuing to swing. Then the discharge pipe at the bottom of the hopper 1 is turned on, and the evenly dispersed material enters the subsequent extrusion process to avoid uneven material dispersion, which would lead to excessively high or low concentration of reinforcement in local areas, directly affecting the mechanical properties and surface quality of the extruded product.
