Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of extruders, and more particularly to a feeding device for an extruder. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic material enters the extruder from the feed barrel and is conveyed forward by the rotation of the screw. During its forward movement, the material is heated by the barrel and subjected to shearing and compression by the screw, causing it to melt.
[0003] During use, the feeding cylinder is connected to the extruder through a pipe. As the device operates, the temperature inside the cylinder rises, which can easily cause the temperature of the material inside the feeding cylinder to rise, resulting in the material sticking together and making it difficult to feed. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a feeding device for an extruder. It improves the situation where, as the device operates, the temperature inside the barrel rises, which can easily lead to an increase in the temperature of the material inside the feeding barrel, causing the material to stick together and hindering feeding.
[0005] A feeding device for an extruder includes a feeding cylinder, a feeding funnel, and a stirring rod. The stirring rod is disposed inside the feeding cylinder. A drive motor for rotating the stirring rod is disposed at the top of the feeding cylinder. A discharge port is disposed at the bottom of the feeding cylinder. The feeding funnel is disposed at the top of the feeding cylinder and communicates with the interior of the feeding cylinder. A heat dissipation cylinder is fitted on the outer peripheral wall of the feeding cylinder. The inner peripheral wall of the heat dissipation cylinder and the outer peripheral wall of the feeding cylinder together form a heat dissipation channel. An air inlet is disposed at the top of the heat dissipation cylinder, and an air outlet is disposed at the bottom of the heat dissipation cylinder. A fan is disposed inside the heat dissipation channel. When the fan is started, air outside the heat dissipation cylinder enters the heat dissipation channel through the air inlet and flows out through the air outlet.
[0006] Optionally, the heat dissipation cylinder includes a connecting ring plate and a cylindrical ring plate. The cylindrical ring plate covers the outer peripheral wall of the feeding cylinder. The connecting ring plate is disposed on the top of the barrel ring plate and is used to fix it to the feeding cylinder. The air inlet is disposed on the connecting ring plate, and the air outlet is disposed on the bottom of the barrel ring plate.
[0007] Optionally, a cooling box is provided on the connecting ring plate, and a cooling inlet is provided on the top of the cooling box. The interior of the cooling box is connected to the air inlet.
[0008] Optionally, a cooling ring is provided inside the feeding cylinder, the stirring rod passes through the inner ring of the cooling ring, a cooling arm is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the cooling ring, and an outlet hole is provided on the inner wall of the feeding cylinder for the cooling arm to pass through, the cooling arm passing through the outlet hole and extending into the heat dissipation channel.
[0009] Optionally, a cooling wide plate is provided at the end of the cooling arm away from the cooling ring.
[0010] Optionally, a discharge pipe is connected to the discharge port, and the discharge pipe is used to connect to the extruder.
[0011] Optionally, a plurality of stirring plates are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the stirring rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the temperature inside the feeding cylinder rises, the fan is activated, allowing air from outside the heat dissipation cylinder to enter the heat dissipation pipe through the air inlet and flow out through the air outlet, creating flowing air within the heat dissipation pipe. This flowing air can lower the temperature of the outer wall of the feeding cylinder, thereby cooling the inside of the feeding cylinder. The cooling ring can also dissipate heat from the inside of the feeding cylinder. Since the flowing air can also cool the cooling arm, it can further cool the cooling ring, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the cooling ring and thus reducing the temperature inside the feeding cylinder. This reduces the temperature rise of the material inside the feeding cylinder, preventing the material from sticking together and hindering feeding. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of various embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments described in this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0021] The present invention provides a feeding device for an extruder, which improves the situation where the temperature inside the barrel rises as the device operates, which can easily lead to the temperature of the material inside the feeding barrel rising, causing the material to stick together and making feeding difficult.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a feeding device for an extruder includes a feeding cylinder 1, a feeding funnel 2, and a stirring rod 3. The stirring rod 3 is disposed inside the feeding cylinder 1. A drive motor 4 for rotating the stirring rod 3 is disposed at the top of the feeding cylinder 1. A discharge port is disposed at the bottom of the feeding cylinder 1. The feeding funnel 2 is disposed at the top of the feeding cylinder 1 and communicates with the interior of the feeding cylinder 1. A heat dissipation cylinder 9 is fitted on the outer peripheral wall of the feeding cylinder 1. The inner peripheral wall of the heat dissipation cylinder 9 and the outer peripheral wall of the feeding cylinder 1 together form a heat dissipation channel. An air inlet 6 is disposed at the top of the heat dissipation cylinder 9, and an air outlet 7 is disposed at the bottom of the heat dissipation cylinder 9. A fan 8 is disposed inside the heat dissipation channel. When the fan 8 is started, air outside the heat dissipation cylinder 9 enters the heat dissipation channel through the air inlet 6 and flows out through the air outlet 7.
[0023] The heat dissipation cylinder 9 includes a connecting ring plate and a cylindrical ring plate 92. The cylindrical ring plate 92 covers the outer peripheral wall of the feeding cylinder 1. The connecting ring plate is located on the top of the barrel ring plate and is used to fix it to the feeding cylinder 1. The air inlet 6 is located on the connecting ring plate and the air outlet 7 is located at the bottom of the barrel ring plate.
[0024] A cooling box 10 is provided on the connecting ring plate, and a cooling inlet 11 is provided on the top of the cooling box 10. The interior of the cooling box 10 is connected to the air inlet 6.
[0025] The feeding cylinder 1 is equipped with a cooling ring 12 inside. The stirring rod 3 passes through the inner ring of the cooling ring 12. The outer peripheral wall of the cooling ring 12 is equipped with a cooling arm 13. The inner wall of the feeding cylinder 1 is equipped with an outlet hole for the cooling arm 13 to pass through. The cooling arm 13 passes through the outlet hole and extends into the heat dissipation channel.
[0026] A cooling wide plate 14 is provided at the end of the cooling arm 13 away from the cooling ring 12.
[0027] A discharge pipe 15 is connected to the discharge port, which is used to connect to the extruder.
[0028] Multiple stirring plates 16 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the stirring rod 3.
[0029] A guide surface 5 is provided at the bottom of the feeding cylinder 1.
[0030] In use, connect the discharge pipe 15 to the extruder, then start the motor to rotate the stirring rod 3, and then feed the material through the feed funnel 2. After the extruder runs for a period of time, the temperature inside the feeding cylinder 1 rises. At this time, the cooling ring 12 and the cooling arm 13 play a role in heat dissipation, dispersing some of the heat inside the feeding cylinder 1 to the heat dissipation channel. First, put ice packs into the cooling box 10, adjust the position of the ice packs to prevent the ice packs from blocking the air inlet 6, and then start the fan 8. At this time, the air enters the cooling box 10 through the cooling inlet 11, and then flows into the heat dissipation channel through the air inlet 6. Then the flowing air will flow through the cooling arm 13, thereby cooling the cooling ring 12, thus reducing the temperature inside the feeding cylinder 1, thereby reducing the temperature rise of the material inside the feeding cylinder 1, which would cause the material to stick together and make feeding difficult.
