Even further, the mounting clamp provides clamping force, causing the sealing part to act at the open end of the inner cylinder, ensuring the sealing effect of the groove and preventing leakage of heat-conducting oil from the groove.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] The present invention will be further described below by way of embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.
[0035] like Figure 1-5As shown, a preheater for recycled plastic pellets includes an outer cylinder 2; it also includes: an inner cylinder 8, which is rotatably installed inside the outer cylinder 2, with one end of the inner cylinder 8 open and the other end closed, the open end of the inner cylinder 8 extending to the outside of the outer cylinder 2; a spiral conveying blade 9 fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the inner cylinder 8; a heating assembly, which is disposed on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 8; a heating column 6, which is inserted into the interior of the inner cylinder 8, and a groove is formed between the heating column 6 and the inner wall of the inner cylinder 8; the groove is filled with a heat-conducting oil layer; a sealing part is provided between the heating column 6 and the open end of the inner cylinder 8, and an end plate 601 is fixedly installed on the end face of the heating column 6, the end plate 601 being connected to the end of the outer cylinder 2 through a mounting pressure member 7.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, a feed inlet 3 is fixedly connected to the top of one side of the outer cylinder 2, and a discharge outlet 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other side of the outer cylinder 2. It also includes a frame 1; the bottom of the outer cylinder 2 is fixedly mounted above the frame 1. A motor 4 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the output shaft of the motor 4 is fixedly connected to the middle of the closed end of the inner cylinder 8.
[0037] In practice, waste plastic products are crushed and the resulting fragments are used as raw materials. The raw materials are fed into the inlet 3 and enter between the outer cylinder 2 and the inner cylinder 8. The motor 4 drives the inner cylinder 8 and the spiral conveying blades 9 on the inner cylinder 8 to rotate together, providing spiral conveying for the raw materials. At the same time, the raw materials are heated by the heating components, which heat the outside of the raw materials. The heating column 6 heats the raw materials, and the heat is transferred to the inner cylinder 8 through the heat transfer oil, which heats the inside of the raw materials. This dual heating ensures the preheating effect. After being conveyed and preheated at the same time, the raw materials are discharged through the outlet 5.
[0038] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the heating assembly includes a heating element 201; the heating element 201 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 8, and a heat-conducting element 202 is fixedly installed on the side of the heating element 201 away from the inner cylinder 8 wall.
[0039] Heating element 201 generates heat, which is then transferred to the raw material through heat-conducting element 202 to heat the raw material.
[0040] In practice, both the heating element 201 and the heating column 6 are electric heating devices; at the same time, a controller is set on the frame 1 and a temperature sensor is set on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 2 for heating control.
[0041] like Figure 3 and 5As shown, the sealing part includes a pressure ring 602; the pressure ring 602 is fixedly sleeved onto the cylindrical surface of the heating column 6, and a sealing gasket 605 is provided on one side of the pressure ring 602, and the sealing gasket 605 is pressed against the opening end of the inner cylinder 8.
[0042] like Figure 3 and 5 As shown, the mounting pressure component 7 includes a fixing seat 701; the fixing seat 701 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the end of the outer cylinder 2, and a stud 702 is fixedly installed on the fixing seat 701. The stud 702 passes through a through hole in the end plate 601, and a nut 703 is threaded onto the stud 702. A compression spring 704 is sleeved on the stud 702, and the compression spring 704 is located between the nut 703 and the end plate 601.
[0043] The heating column 6 is connected to the outer cylinder 2 via the mounting pressure member 7. When the inner cylinder 8 rotates, the heating column 6 does not rotate with it, but the compression spring 704 is in a compressed state, providing pressure to the end plate 601, thereby pressing the sealing gasket 605 against the open end of the inner cylinder 8. When the inner cylinder 8 rotates, the open end face of the inner cylinder 8 and the sealing gasket 605 rotate relative to each other and rub against each other. Through the pressing design, the sealing effect of the open end is ensured, and the leakage of heat transfer oil is avoided.
[0044] like Figure 3-5 As shown, two support rings 603 are fitted onto the heating column 6, and the two support rings 603 are respectively located at the inner walls of both ends of the inner cylinder 8. A plurality of evenly distributed balls 604 are provided on the outer ring of the support ring 603, and the balls 604 are in contact with the inner wall of the inner cylinder 8.
[0045] The heating column 6 is supported by the support ring 603. The inner cylinder 8 and the ball bearing 604 are rolled and rubbed together when the inner cylinder 8 rotates, which reduces the frictional resistance.
[0046] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Any changes in its shape or structure fall within the protection scope of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of this utility model, but all such changes and modifications fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
