Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a chilled water refrigeration unit device for a liquid-cooled cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Rubber and plastic products are widely used in the automotive, construction, and electronics industries, and market demand for them continues to grow, leading to increasingly higher requirements for the output, quality, and performance of rubber and plastic sheets. Traditional twin-screw extruders experience quality and efficiency issues in mixing, feeding, and compression as extrusion speed and feed rate increase, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale, high-quality production.

[0026] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, any modifications of the present invention in various equivalent forms by those skilled in the art will fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the energy-saving and efficient three-cone screw extrusion tablet press of this utility model comprises a base, a screw drive gearbox assembly, a screw hopper assembly, a pressure roller assembly, a pressure roller drive assembly, and a lower pressure roller hydraulic opening and closing assembly.

[0028] The screw drive gearbox assembly includes a screw hopper, a drive motor, a gearbox, and a screw housed within the screw hopper. The screw includes a drive screw and left and right screws located on either side of the drive screw. The drive motor is connected to the drive screw, and the left and right screws are driven by the gearbox. The hopper assembly is positioned above the screw hopper. In this patent, the three screws are horizontally arranged and meshing tapered screws. The drive screw has a right-hand thread, while the left and right screws have left-hand threads. When the drive screw is driven by force, it rotates the left and right screws, thereby extruding and conveying the material in the screw hopper forward. This increases the discharge width, and the meshing of the three tapered screws improves the efficiency of pre-discharge feeding.

[0029] The pressure roller assembly is located at the front end of the screw drive gearbox assembly and is used to convey the extruded material through the pressure roller; the pressure roller drive assembly is driven to connect with the pressure roller assembly.

[0030] The gearbox includes a gearbox body, a front bearing assembly and a rear bearing assembly respectively fitted on the tail ends of all screws, and a gear located on all screws and between the front bearing assembly and the rear bearing assembly. Specifically, the gearbox includes: a screw drive housing, a reduction gearbox, a permanent magnet variable frequency motor (1), a flat key, an intermediate gear, a left gear, a middle spacer, a front spacer, a front bearing cover, a right screw, an intermediate screw, a left screw, a duckbill guide seat, a baffle plate, a front seal, a front bearing, a right gear, a front nut, an intermediate bearing, a rear bearing, a rear spacer, a rear seal, and a rear nut.

[0031] The screw drive gearbox component, the reduction gearbox, and the permanent magnet variable frequency motor (1) are mounted on the base.

[0032] A left gear and a right gear are respectively provided on the left and right screws on both sides of the intermediate gear at the tail end of the driving screw. The rotational extrusion propulsion power of the intermediate screw is transmitted to the intermediate screw by the permanent magnet variable frequency motor (1) after the torque is increased by the reduction gearbox. The intermediate gear fixed on the intermediate screw drives the left and right gears to rotate, transmitting the power to the left and right screws.

[0033] The permanent magnet variable frequency motor (1) that drives the screw rotation can adjust the speed and torque according to the machine's load, saving 15-30% of energy.

[0034] The rear bearing assembly includes an intermediate bearing and a rear bearing sequentially mounted on the screw along the axial direction. A rear spacer is also provided at the tail end of the screw, and a rear seal is provided between the rear spacer and the gearbox. The front bearing assembly includes a front bearing mounted on the screw, an intermediate spacer and a front spacer located on both sides of the front bearing, and a front bearing housing cover that seals the front bearing. The left screw is supported on the front bearing, intermediate bearing, and rear bearing, and the outer edge of the bearing is mounted on the screw drive housing. The front bearing is equipped with a front seal and a front bearing cover to ensure that oil from the gearbox does not flow into the screw hopper.

[0035] The screw has a central elongated hole, and the screw hole at the left end of the shaft connects to a rotary joint to introduce a heat source and regulate the temperature of the screw. Of course, a cold source can also be connected as needed.

[0036] The pressure roller seat is provided with an ear loop hole, and a swing pin that can swing is provided in the ear loop hole. The lower pressure roller can swing up and down by connecting to the swing pin. The lower pressure roller is driven to swing up and down by an opening and closing hydraulic cylinder.

[0037] The hopper assembly includes a feeding hopper located above the screw hopper and a duckbill guide seat located at the front end of the screw.

[0038] This patented energy-efficient three-cone screw extrusion tablet press has the following advantages compared to existing technologies:

[0039] (1) Good mixing and plasticizing effect: The three-cone screw extruder has three screws, forming multiple meshing zones. The material is subjected to strong shearing, kneading and stretching during the extrusion process. Its crushing area is larger and the kneading effect is stronger, which can make the material more fully plasticized and more uniformly dispersed. It is especially suitable for processing materials with high pigment and filler content.

[0040] (2) High output: Due to the coordinated operation of the three screws, more material can be transported and processed in the same amount of time, resulting in a significantly higher output compared to the two-cone screw extrusion tablet press. For example, when producing carbon black masterbatch, the output of the three-cone screw extrusion tablet press can reach 180 kg / hour, while that of the two-cone screw extrusion tablet press is only 80 kg / hour.

[0041] (3) Superior product quality: The three-cone screw extruder ensures thorough plasticization and uniform component dispersion, resulting in products with more stable performance and higher quality. For example, the PP flame-retardant cable material produced by the three-cone screw extruder has better strength and elongation than the product produced by the two-cone screw extruder.

[0042] (4) Good energy saving effect: The high efficiency of the three-cone screw extruder tablet press results in relatively low energy consumption when producing the same amount of product. Data shows that, taking the production of 50% concentration carbon black masterbatch as an example, the specific power of the three-cone screw extruder is only 0.2-0.25kw / kg.

[0043] (5) Excellent self-cleaning properties: The three-cone screw structure design makes the material flow more evenly in the machine, avoids material dead corners, reduces material residue and accumulation, thus has good self-cleaning properties, helps to keep the equipment clean and stable, and produces products with more uniform performance.

[0044] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this application should still be covered by the claims of this application.
