Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flower pot production equipment, and in particular to a raw material hot-melting device for flower pot production. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic flower pots are a common type of flower pot. Plastic has good plasticity and toughness, better impact resistance than ceramic flower pots, and better corrosion resistance and lower cost than metal flower pots. In the production process of plastic flower pots, granular plastic raw materials are colored, heated and melted, and then transported to a molding die through an extruder. After molding and cooling, the flower pot is obtained. In this process, the plastic granular raw materials are often heated by adding an electric heating tube to the outside of the extruder. This heating method leads to a large amount of heat loss and energy waste. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to develop a hot-melt device for raw materials in flower pot production that reduces heat loss and saves energy. Summary of the Invention

[0019] A drive shaft 5 is rotatably provided at the end of the extrusion cylinder 3 away from the outlet, extending to the outside of the insulation shell 2. The drive shaft 5 inside the extrusion cylinder 3 is connected to a first helical blade 6. A first drive mechanism 7 connected to the drive shaft 5 is provided on the outside of the insulation shell 2. The drive shaft 5 is rotatably and sealedly connected to both the extrusion cylinder 3 and the insulation shell 2. The first drive mechanism 7 drives the first helical blade 6 to rotate through the drive shaft 5, pushing the molten plastic raw material inside the extrusion cylinder 3 toward the outlet of the extrusion cylinder 3.
[0020] Multiple mounting cylinders 14 are provided between the insulation shell 2 and the extrusion cylinder 3. Each mounting cylinder 14 is equipped with an electric heating tube, which is connected to a power control module. The insulation shell 2 is filled with heat-conducting oil 16, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The electric heating tube is also existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The electric heating tube heats the heat-conducting oil 16. The insulation shell 2 locks most of the heat inside the insulation shell 2, reducing heat loss and thus reducing the power of the electric heating tube, achieving the purpose of energy saving.
[0021] Example 2: A hot-melting device for raw materials used in flowerpot production includes a base 1, an insulating shell 2 on the base 1, an extrusion cylinder 3 inside the insulating shell 2, the extrusion cylinder 3 extending horizontally, the outlet of the extrusion cylinder 3 extending to the outside of the insulating shell 2, the extrusion cylinder 3 being sealed to the insulating shell 2, and a feed cylinder 4 extending above the insulating shell 2 being vertically arranged at the upper end of the extrusion cylinder 3, the outside of the feed cylinder 4 being sealed to the insulating shell 2.
[0022] A drive shaft 5 extending to the outside of the insulation shell 2 is rotatably provided at the end of the extrusion cylinder 3 away from the outlet. The drive shaft 5 inside the extrusion cylinder 3 is connected to a first helical blade 6. A first drive mechanism 7 connected to the drive shaft 5 is provided on the outside of the insulation shell 2. The drive shaft 5 is rotatably and sealedly connected to both the extrusion cylinder 3 and the insulation shell 2. The first drive mechanism 7 drives the first helical blade 6 to rotate through the drive shaft 5, pushing the molten plastic raw material in the extrusion cylinder 3 toward the outlet of the extrusion cylinder 3. A propeller blade 8 is provided on the drive shaft 5 between the extrusion cylinder 3 and the insulation shell 2.
[0023] The feed cylinder 4 has an end cap 9 on its upper end. A second spiral blade 10 is vertically rotatably arranged inside the feed cylinder 4. A feed pipe 11 is arranged on the side of the feed cylinder 4. A second drive mechanism 12 is arranged on the upper end of the end cap 9. The second drive mechanism 12 is equipped with a transmission shaft 13 connected to the second spiral blade 10. The second drive mechanism 12 and the transmission shaft 13 drive the second spiral blade 10 to rotate, controlling the plastic raw material to enter the extrusion cylinder 3 in an orderly manner.
[0024] Multiple mounting cylinders 14 are provided between the heat insulation shell 2 and the extrusion cylinder 3. Each mounting cylinder 14 is equipped with an electric heating tube, which is connected to a power control module. The heat insulation shell 2 is filled with heat transfer oil 16, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The electric heating tube is also existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The electric heating tube heats the heat transfer oil 16. Multiple first heat exchange fins 17 are evenly spaced on the outer side of the mounting cylinder 14. The first heat exchange fins 17 increase the heat exchange area with the heat transfer oil 16 and improve the heat exchange efficiency. Multiple second heat exchange fins 18 are provided on the outer side of the extrusion cylinder 3. The second heat exchange fins 18 increase the heat exchange area between the heat transfer oil 16 and the extrusion cylinder 3 and improve the heat exchange efficiency.
[0025] A propeller blade 8 is installed on the drive shaft 5 between the extrusion cylinder 3 and the insulation shell 2. The propeller blade 8 rotates with the drive shaft 5, pushing the heat transfer oil 16 inside the insulation shell 2 to move and make the temperature of the heat transfer oil 16 uniform. A temperature sensor is installed inside the insulation shell 2 to monitor the temperature of the heat transfer oil 16 inside the insulation shell 2. A main controller is installed on the base 1. The main controller is connected to both the temperature sensor and the power control module via a data cable. The main controller sends a signal to the power control module based on the information data from the temperature sensor to adjust the power of the heating element.
[0026] The specific working process is as follows: The electric heating element is activated to heat the heat transfer oil 16. Simultaneously, the first drive mechanism 7 is activated, using the drive shaft 5 to drive the propeller blade 8 to rotate, propelling the heat transfer oil 16 forward. The main controller sends a signal to the power control module based on the temperature sensor data, controlling the temperature of the heat transfer oil 16 at the predetermined target temperature. Then, granular raw materials are fed into the feed pipe 11, and the second drive mechanism 12 is activated to orderly convey the granular raw materials into the extrusion cylinder 3. After the granular raw materials are heated to a molten state, they are extruded from the outlet and conveyed to the mold for making plastic flower pots. During the heating process, the heat insulation shell 2 seals most of the heat inside, reducing heat loss and thus reducing the power consumption of the electric heating element, achieving energy saving.
