Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material crushing, and in particular to a grading wheel for preventing material agglomeration. Background Technology

[0002] Classifying wheels, as a common tool for material classification, are widely used in the crushing and classification of polymer materials. During normal operation, ordinary classifying wheels often experience situations where low-weight, small-diameter materials remain suspended on the outer side of the wheel. In this case, prolonged friction between the classifying wheel blades and the suspended material particles generates heat. If the material has a low melting point, the suspended particles may melt or clump together and adhere to the classifying wheel blades. This increases the weight of the classifying wheel, raises the energy consumption of the classifying motor, and reduces classification capacity. Furthermore, during tangential cutting, incomplete cleaning of the adhered parts can lead to potential material contamination.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a classifying wheel that can improve or prevent material particles from lingering on the outside of the classifying wheel for too long. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Force analysis of the material particles located outside the classifier wheel reveals the following general force distribution: ① The upward buoyancy force provided by the fan is greater than or equal to the downward gravity force, and the inward centripetal force provided by the fan is greater than the outward centrifugal force exerted by the classifier wheel blades on the material. ② The upward buoyancy force provided by the fan is greater than or equal to the downward gravity force, and the inward centripetal force provided by the fan is less than or equal to the outward centrifugal force exerted by the classifier wheel blades on the material. In case ①, the material particles are drawn into the classifier wheel, thus achieving the coarse-fine classification of solid particles. In case ②, because the material particles cannot escape the centrifugal force exerted by the classifier wheel blades, this results in a prolonged suspension outside the classifier wheel.

[0005] This utility model discloses a classifying wheel to prevent material agglomeration. By setting an air passage in the drive shaft of the classifying wheel and setting through holes in the blades, the two are connected to the air passage through the main frame branch and hollow support pipe. This allows an external air source to blow away material particles that have been suspended around the classifying wheel blades for a long time, avoiding rapid friction between the suspended particles and the classifying wheel blades. This effectively prevents the classifying wheel blades from generating heat due to prolonged friction between the suspended material particles and the classifying wheel blades, which would otherwise cause materials with low melting points to enter a melting or molten state during classification or crushing, thus causing agglomeration and adhesion to the classifying wheel blades.

[0006] A classifying wheel for preventing material agglomeration, characterized in that it comprises:

[0007] The main framework, which includes N branches;

[0008] A drive shaft is fitted inside the main frame. The drive shaft includes a main air passage and branch air passages. The main air passage is a single-opening structure. The branch air passages and M branch air passages are connected.

[0013] m of the blades are provided with through holes, where m ≥ n.

[0014] Preferably, the through hole is connected to the branch air passage to ensure that the external air source gas can be blown from the inside to the outside along the air passage channel, the main air passage of the drive shaft, the branch air passage, the main frame branch passage, the hollow support tube, and the blade through hole.

[0015] In one embodiment, the relationship between the number of branches N and the blade height H is: N = H / 10 * 4, where N is a natural number and H is in centimeters.

[0021] In one embodiment, the annular upper plate includes a connector that connects the annular upper plate and the main frame.

[0022] In one embodiment, a first keyway is provided on the inner side of the main frame, and a second keyway is provided on the outer side of the drive shaft. Tangential keys are provided in the first keyway and the second keyway.

[0023] In one embodiment, the end of the drive shaft near the circular lower plate is provided with an external thread to prevent the drive shaft from slipping.

[0024] Technical effect

[0025] 1. This utility model prevents material particles suspended on the outside of the classifying wheel from melting and adhering to the classifying wheel blades after being melted by setting an air passage on the drive shaft and setting through holes on the blades. The air is transmitted through the air passage pipeline of the drive shaft main air passage - branch air passage - main frame branch passage - hollow support tube - blade through hole. This not only reduces the energy consumption of the motor and increases the production capacity of the classifying wheel, but also avoids incomplete cleaning caused by stubborn adhesion during the cutting process, effectively avoiding potential material contamination problems.

[0026] 2. To ensure that the classifier does not deform under strong rotation, solid support tubes and hollow support tubes are arranged in a longitudinal cross pattern; around the main frame, on the same horizontal plane, solid support tubes and hollow support tubes are also arranged in a cross pattern, thereby ensuring that gas is released outward from all sides of the classifier blades at the same time.

The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described below. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1As shown in the figure, the utility model discloses a classification wheel 100 for preventing material caking, which includes: a main skeleton 1, a transmission shaft 2 sleeved on the main skeleton 1, an annular upper plate 3, blades 4, a circular lower plate 5 and blade support pipes 6.

The branch air paths 22 are distributed at intervals along the main air path 21 longitudinally, and the branch air paths 22 are distributed at intervals around the main air path 21 on a horizontal plane. The branch air paths 22 are connected to M branch paths 11, where N ≤ M < N. Please refer to Figure 2 , the annular upper plate 3 includes a connecting member 31, and the connecting member 31 is used to connect the annular upper plate 3 and the main skeleton 1 to facilitate fixing the annular upper plate 3. Through holes 41 are provided at positions corresponding to the branch air paths 22 on the blades 4, and both ends of the blades 4 are fixedly connected to the annular upper plate 3 and the lower plate 5 respectively.

[0033] In one embodiment, the number of blades 4 is n, and m of the blades 4 are provided with through holes 41, where m ≥ n, and further preferably, n ≤ m ≤ 3n.

[0034] It should be further noted that one end of the transmission shaft 2 away from the circular lower plate 5 is open, so as to facilitate the ventilation of the main air path 21 of the transmission shaft 2, through the branch air paths 22 to each branch path 11, and then through the hollow support pipe 62 and blown out through the through hole 41.
