Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of polypropylene production technology, and in particular to a polypropylene production feeder. Background Technology
[0002] Polypropylene is a white, waxy material commonly used in fiber products and industrial production. To facilitate subsequent processing and transportation, polypropylene is usually in granular form. When polypropylene needs to be added during the production process, due to the high temperature of the processing environment, mechanical feeding is required to protect the health and safety of processing personnel.
[0003] A search revealed in publication (announcement) number CN 222624481 U disclosed a polypropylene production feeding machine, comprising: an equipment frame, a hopper slot on the top surface of the equipment frame, a positioning block fixedly connected to the inner side of the hopper slot, a raw material storage cylinder engaged inside the hopper slot, a positioning groove on one side of the raw material storage cylinder, a feeding cylinder connected through the bottom of the raw material storage cylinder, a metering cylinder connected through the bottom of the feeding cylinder, a rotating motor fixedly connected to one side of the feeding cylinder, a rotating shaft provided at the output end of the rotating motor, and a rubber head feeding plate axially fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating shaft; in this utility model, the rotating motor inside the feeding cylinder drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving several sets of rubber head feeding plates to scrape the raw material in the raw material storage cylinder. The rubber head at the end of the rubber head feeding plate facilitates its constant tight contact with the inner wall of the feeding cylinder. This feeding method facilitates control of the discharge speed, and this feeding method can be applied to both solid-liquid or powdered polypropylene raw materials and additives.
[0004] Although the above solution uses a rotating motor inside the feeding cylinder to drive the rotating shaft to rotate and drive several sets of rubber head feeding plates to scrape the raw materials in the raw material storage cylinder, and the rubber head at the end of the feeding plate is easy to keep in close contact with the inner wall of the feeding cylinder, making it easy to control the discharge speed, when pouring raw materials from different storage cylinders, it is still necessary to manually rotate the feeder so that the corresponding storage cylinder is directly above the mixing device. Therefore, we propose a polypropylene production feeder. Summary of the Invention
