[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3 An EPP particle pre-compression tank, comprising

[0026] Tank 10 for pre-compressing EPP particles;

[0027] An end cap 20 is installed around the upper part of the tank body 10; the inner side of the end cap 20 is provided with an installation groove 201;

[0028] The filter screen 30 has a mounting block 301 on its side for engaging with the mounting groove 201; the mounting block 301 has a slot 302 on its side.

[0029] The locking assembly 40 includes a locking rod 401 installed in the end cover 20 and a drive unit connected to the locking rod 401 for driving the locking rod 401 to extend as needed into the mounting groove 201 and engage in the slot 302.

[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment, during operation, when the filter screen 30 needs to be installed, the mounting block 301 on the side of the filter screen 30 is installed into the mounting groove 201 to complete the initial positioning. After installation, the drive unit drives the locking rod 401 to extend from the inside of the end cover 20 and fit into the slot 302, thereby locking the mounting block 301 into the mounting groove 201, thus completing the installation of the filter screen 30. When the filter screen 30 needs to be disassembled, the reverse is true.

[0031] The EPP particle pre-compression tank involved in this utility model, through the arrangement of tank body 10, end cap 20 and locking assembly 40, can efficiently and conveniently complete the disassembly and assembly of filter screen 30, greatly improving the user experience and making it suitable for industrial applications.

[0032] In one specific embodiment, the end cap 20 is provided with a guide groove 202 adjacent to one side of the mounting groove 201 and aligned with the slot 302 in the installed state, and an annular mounting groove 201 installed below the mounting groove 201 and connected to the guide groove 202; the drive unit includes an annular plate 402 installed in the annular mounting groove 201 and a power module connected to the annular plate 402 for driving the annular plate 402 to rotate; the annular plate 402 is connected to the locking rod 401 and is used to drive the locking rod 401 to extend from the guide groove 202 and fit into the slot 302 as needed when it rotates. Specifically, when the filter screen 30 needs to be installed, the mounting block 301 is installed in the mounting groove 201. At this time, the slot 302 of the mounting block 301 is aligned with the guide groove 202. Then, the power module drives the annular plate 402 to rotate, which in turn drives the locking rod 401 to move with the annular plate 402, so that the locking rod 401 extends out of the guide groove 202 and fits into the slot 302, thereby completing the installation and fixing of the filter screen 30. When the filter screen 30 needs to be disassembled, the reverse is true.

[0033] In one specific embodiment, the power module includes an annular rack 403 mounted on the side of the annular plate 402, a rotating gear 404 mounted on one side of the annular rack 403 and meshing with it, and a drive motor 405 mounted below the side of the end cover 20 and connected to the rotating gear 404 for driving the rotating gear 404 to rotate. Specifically, during operation, the drive motor 405 drives the rotating gear 404 to rotate, which in turn drives the annular plate 402 to rotate via the annular rack 403, thereby causing the locking rod 401 to extend into the slot 302 and lock the mounting block 301.

[0034] In one specific embodiment, a cover 50 is further included, mounted above the end cap 20; bolt holes for connection are correspondingly provided on the sides of the cover 50 and the end cap 20. Further, a feed inlet 501 is provided on the upper part of the cover 50; a solenoid valve is provided inside the feed inlet 501. In this embodiment, EPP particles are input through the feed inlet 501 and, after being screened by the filter screen 30, are input into the tank 10 for a pre-pressurization process. Further, the height of the mounting block 301 is greater than the height of the mounting groove 201, so that when the mounting block 301 is installed in the mounting groove 201, the upper end of the mounting block 301 extends out of the mounting groove 201; a fitting groove 502 is provided at the bottom of the cover 50 corresponding to the upper part of the mounting block 301; in the installed state, the mounting block 301 extends to the upper part of the mounting groove 201 and is located within the fitting groove 502. Specifically, in this embodiment, the fit between the fitting groove 502 and the upper part of the mounting block 301 extending above the mounting groove 201 allows the cover 50 to be initially positioned through the fitting groove 502 during installation, thus facilitating the subsequent connection of the cover 50 to the end cap 20 via bolts and bolt holes.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the tank 10 is equipped with a pre-compression assembly (not shown in the figure) for pre-compressing EPP particles. Specifically, the pre-compression assembly is prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] In one specific embodiment, a discharge pipe 101 for discharging materials after the pre-pressing process is completed is provided at the bottom of the tank body 10.

[0037] The EPP particle pre-compression tank involved in this utility model, through the arrangement of tank body 10, end cap 20 and locking assembly 40, can efficiently and conveniently complete the disassembly and assembly of filter screen 30, greatly improving the user experience and making it suitable for industrial applications.

[0038] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
