[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4. This utility model provides the following technical solution: a side-down exhaust structure for a twin-screw extruder, comprising a discharge tank 1, a storage tank 2, and an inner filter separator 3. The discharge tank 1, storage tank 2, and inner filter separator 3 are all made of 304 stainless steel. One end of the discharge tank 1 and one end of the storage tank 2 are fixedly connected by a clamp 6. The discharge tank 1 has an air inlet connector 101 at the top and a waste discharge nozzle 102 at the bottom. The storage tank 2 has a vacuum extraction nozzle 201 at the top. The inner filter separator 3 is placed inside the discharge tank 1 and the storage tank 2, and has two air holes 301 at its top. A vent 301 is provided at the bottom, and two vents 301 at the top correspond to the positions of the air inlet connector 101 and the vacuum nozzle 201, respectively. The vent 301 at the bottom corresponds to the position of the exhaust nozzle 102. Baffles are provided inside the inner filter separator 3. Two upper baffles 3a are provided at the top of the inner wall of the inner filter separator 3, and a lower baffle 3b is provided at the bottom of the inner wall. The lower baffle 3b is located between the two upper baffles 3a. The two upper baffles 3a are located between the air inlet connector 101 and the vacuum nozzle 201. Both the upper baffles 3a and the lower baffle 3b are semi-circular baffles.

[0018] Furthermore, one end of the discharge tank 1 is connected to the discharge tank sealing plate 4 via a clamp 6, and one end of the storage tank 2 is connected to the storage tank sealing plate 5 via a clamp 6.

[0019] Furthermore, fluororubber sealing rings 7 are installed at the connection between the discharge tank 1 and the storage tank 2, the connection between the discharge tank 1 and the discharge tank sealing plate 4, and the connection between the storage tank 2 and the storage tank sealing plate 5.

[0020] Furthermore, valves are provided on the air inlet connector 101, the exhaust nozzle 102, and the vacuum extraction nozzle 201. The valves are 2-inch ball valves, and a 2-inch quick-change clamp 101a is provided at the top of the air inlet connector 101.

When needed, the vacuum nozzle 201 can be connected to the vacuuming end of the vacuuming equipment. When the valve of the vacuum nozzle 201 is closed, the devolatile water vapor and other substances generated by the extruder enter through the air inlet 101 with the gas, and the wastewater and waste can be discharged through the waste outlet 102. When the valve of the vacuum nozzle 201 is open and the valve of the waste outlet 102 is closed, the gas enters through the air inlet 101, and the waste is collected in the inner filter separator 3 after impacting the upper baffle 3a and the lower baffle 3b with the gas. The waste storage in the inner filter separator 3 can be observed through the transparent window 4a. If there is a lot of waste stored, the storage tank sealing plate 5 can be separated from the storage tank 2, and the inner filter separator 3 can be taken out for cleaning.
