The end of the third pipeline away from the discharge port is provided with a second steam inlet; wherein, the third pipeline and the second pipeline form an outlet channel for the mixed solution to be discharged.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by this technical solution are as follows: by embedding a third pipeline inside the second pipeline and introducing high-temperature steam from the second steam inlet, the speed of granule molding and the solvent removal effect are further improved.

[0011] In one embodiment of this utility model, the granule forming device further includes: an anti-backflow component, which is embedded between the second pipeline and the third pipeline to prevent the mixed solution in the outlet channel from flowing back; wherein, when the anti-backflow component is in the first position relative to the third pipeline, the outlet channel is closed; when the anti-backflow component changes from the first position to the second position relative to the third pipeline, the outlet channel is opened.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by setting up anti-backflow components, the backflow of mixed solution in the outlet channel is prevented, thus ensuring the safety and stability of the production process.

[0016] In one embodiment of this utility model, a limiting plate is provided at the connection between the outlet pipe and the second pipe, and the limiting plate is used to limit the anti-backflow component.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the technical effects achieved by adopting this technical solution are as follows: by limiting the anti-backflow component with a limiting plate, the accidental movement of the anti-backflow component is prevented, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the anti-backflow component.

[0038] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] See Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a pellet forming device for a chain-end functionalized solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber agglomeration production unit provided by an embodiment of this utility model; combined with Figures 2 to 5 The granule forming device includes a dynamic mixer 200 and a granule forming device 100. The dynamic mixer 200 has a discharge port at its top and a stirrer inside. The stirrer is used to disperse and mix the colloid liquid and the dispersant aqueous solution in the dynamic mixer to form a mixed solution. The granule forming device 100 is connected to the discharge port and is used to remove and recover the solvent in the mixed solution. The granule forming device 10 is also equipped with a control component 10, which is used to accelerate the flow rate of the mixed solution from the discharge port into the granule forming device 100.

[0040] Specifically, through the cooperation of the dynamic mixer 200 and the granule forming device 100, the agitator and control components 10 can be adjusted according to the actual pipeline conditions, so that the viscous granules in the mixed solution do not stick together, while achieving a relatively high discharge efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, the mixer includes a frameless double ribbon mixer, which, compared to ordinary mixers, provides higher uniformity of mixing, effectively avoids problems such as dead zones and blockages, and improves mixing efficiency while shortening mixing time.

[0042] Preferably, the granule forming device 100 includes a first pipe 20 and a second pipe 30. The first pipe 20 is connected to the discharge port, and a first steam inlet 21 is provided on the side wall of the first pipe 20. The second pipe 30 is nested inside the first pipe 20 and is connected to the first pipe 20. The mixed solution is discharged from the granule forming device 100 through the second pipe 30.

[0043] Furthermore, a steam-containing space is formed between the first pipe 20 and the second pipe 30. Before opening the discharge port, high-temperature steam can be introduced from the first steam inlet 21 to preheat the inner walls of the first pipe 20 and the second pipe 30, preventing the granules from sticking together after precipitation due to cold.

[0044] Preferably, the granule forming device 100 further includes a third pipe 40, which is nested inside the second pipe 30, and the first pipe 20, the second pipe 30 and the third pipe 40 are connected. The end of the third pipe 40 away from the discharge port is provided with a second steam inlet 41. The third pipe 40 and the second pipe 30 form an outlet channel for the mixed solution to be discharged.

[0045] Furthermore, based on actual working conditions, high-temperature steam is introduced into the third pipeline 40. The high-temperature steam on both sides of the second outlet channel transfers heat to the mixed solution, thereby avoiding the problem of uneven heating. At the same time, the high-temperature steam accompanies the mixed solution out of the outlet channel to achieve full mass and heat transfer between the adhesive and the steam flow, thereby promoting the formation of adhesive particles and improving the solvent removal effect.

[0046] Preferably, the granule molding machine 100 further includes an anti-backflow component 50, which is embedded between the second pipe 30 and the third pipe 40 to prevent the mixed solution in the outlet channel from flowing back; wherein, when the anti-backflow component 50 is in a first position relative to the third pipe 40, the outlet channel is closed; when the anti-backflow component 50 changes from the first position to the second position relative to the third pipe 40, the outlet channel is opened.

[0047] Preferably, the anti-backflow component 50 is magnetically attracted to the first position;

[0048] Furthermore, in the direction of the discharge port toward the granule forming machine 100, the third pipeline 40 includes a first diameter section 42, a diameter changing section 43, and a second diameter section 44 connected in sequence; wherein, the diameter of the first diameter section 42 is larger than the diameter of the second diameter section 44, and the diameter of the diameter changing section 43 gradually decreases along the direction of the discharge port toward the granule forming machine 100.

[0049] Specifically, based on actual working conditions, when the discharge port is closed, the anti-backflow component 50 is in the first position relative to the third pipeline 40. At this time, one side of the anti-backflow component 50 abuts against the inner wall of the second pipeline 30, and the other side abuts against the outer wall of the first diameter section 42. When the discharge port is opened, the mixed solution impacts the anti-backflow component 50, causing it to move away from the discharge port and separate from the first diameter section 42. This creates a flow gap between the anti-backflow component 50 and the diameter change section 43 and / or the second diameter section 44, allowing the mixed solution to flow at a relatively fast speed. When the discharge port changes from open to closed, the anti-backflow component 50 is magnetically pulled back from the second position to the first position to achieve the anti-backflow function.

[0050] Preferably, the granule forming machine 100 further includes an outlet pipe 60, which is connected to the second pipe 30, and the outlet pipe 60 has an inlet 61 on its wall.

[0051] Specifically, hot water is introduced through the inlet 61, thereby driving the mixed solution after being subjected to high-temperature steam to be discharged, increasing the flow rate of the mixed solution in the discharge pipe 60, while maintaining the temperature of the mixed solution.

[0052] Preferably, a limiting plate 70 is provided at the connection between the outlet pipe 60 and the second pipe 30, and the limiting plate 70 is used to limit the anti-backflow component 50.

[0053] Preferably, a locking device 80 is provided between the dynamic mixer 200 and the granule forming device 100.

[0054] Furthermore, the control component 10 is located within the third conduit 40.

[0055] Preferably, the granule forming machine 100 is provided with a first stop 90 at the connection between the granule forming machine and the discharge port; the control component 10 includes a second stop 11 and a control rod 12 connected to each other; the second stop 11 is located at the discharge port and cooperates with the first stop 90; wherein, when the control rod 12 is pushed to move the second stop 11 closer to the first stop 90, the flow rate of the mixed solution entering the granule forming machine 100 from the discharge port increases; when the control rod 12 is pushed to move the second stop 11 away from the first stop 90, the flow rate of the mixed solution entering the granule forming machine 100 from the discharge port decreases.

[0056] Furthermore, when the first stop 90 abuts against the second stop 11, the discharge port is closed.

[0057] Preferably, a handwheel 13 is provided at the end of the control lever 12 away from the second stop portion 11.

[0058] Furthermore, a stuffing box is provided at the end of the third pipeline 40 away from the outlet. The stuffing box is located at the connection between the control rod 12 and the third pipeline 40, so that the connection between the third pipeline 40 and the control rod 12 is sealed. By setting the stuffing box, a sealing structure is provided to prevent leakage of the mixed solution and entry of external impurities, thus ensuring cleanliness and safety in the production process.

[0059] While the present invention has been disclosed above, it is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and alterations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention; therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
