Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this embodiment of the invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, according to Figure 1-5As shown, the base 100 is equipped with a material cylinder 110, which contains a material cavity 111. A screw 120 is housed within the material cavity 111, and its tail end is connected to a motor 130. The motor 130 drives the screw 120 to rotate. A nozzle 140 is located at the end of the material cylinder 110 away from the motor 130. A feeding port 112 is also provided on the material cylinder 110, connecting to the material cavity 111. A reducer 180 is also provided between the screw 120 and the motor 130, used to reduce speed and increase torque. Specifically, the output shaft of the motor 130 is connected to the reducer 180, which in turn connects to the screw 120, driving the screw 120 to rotate and plasticize and advance the material.
[0034] The material cylinder 110 is equipped with a heating element 150, and a detachable heat preservation device 200 is fitted onto the heating element 150. The heat preservation device 200 includes a first shell 210 and a second shell 220. Specifically, the first shell 210 and the second shell 220 are both symmetrical semi-cylindrical shapes that can be assembled to form a hollow cylinder. Both the first shell 210 and the second shell 220 have clearance spaces 260 inside. When assembled, the two clearance spaces 260 combine to form a receiving cavity that connects to the outside to accommodate the material cylinder 110 and the heating element 150. The heating element 150 heats the material cylinder 110, and the heat preservation device 200 keeps the material cylinder 110 warm, reducing energy consumption. During short shutdowns, the heating wire does not need to be continuously turned on.
[0035] The first housing 210 and the second housing 220 are sequentially provided with a heat insulation layer 230, a heat preservation layer 240, and an outer shell 250 from the inside out. The heat-conducting layer abuts against the material cylinder 110. The heating element 150 consists of multiple heating wires arranged around the material cylinder 110. The heating wires are spaced apart and do not cover the entire material cylinder 110. How the heating wires are arranged on the material cylinder 110 is a conventional technique in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0036] The heat insulation layer 230 is made of ceramic fiber, the heat insulation layer 240 is made of heat insulation cotton, and the outer shell 250 is made of magnetic material, such as low carbon steel.
[0037] The first housing 210 and the second housing 220 are provided with an auxiliary magnetic attraction device and a fixing device 400. The auxiliary magnetic attraction device can assist in the installation and removal of the fixing device 400. Specifically, by providing the auxiliary magnetic attraction device, it is easier for the user to install and remove the insulation device 200. First, the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 are initially fixed by magnetic attraction, and then the connection is reinforced by the fixing device 400. The same applies to disassembly.
[0038] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the first housing 210 includes two internal first abutting surfaces 211; the second housing 220 includes two internal second abutting surfaces 221; when assembled, the two first abutting surfaces 211 and the two second abutting surfaces 221 abut against each other to form a hollow cylinder fitted onto the material cylinder 110. Each first abutting surface 211 and each second abutting surface 221 is provided with a first heat insulation plate 212 and a second heat insulation plate 222, respectively. The first heat insulation plate 212 is provided with a sealing element 213; the auxiliary magnetic attraction device includes a plurality of first magnets 310; the sealing element 213 is provided with a groove 214, the groove 214 is used to place the first magnets 310, and the second heat insulation plate 222 is provided with a magnetic guiding plate 223. The plurality of first magnets 310 can be attracted to the magnetic guiding plate 223 to assist in the assembly of the first housing 210 and the second housing 220.
[0039] Specifically, the two first contact surfaces 211 and the two second contact surfaces 221 are actually the mating surfaces of the first shell 210 and the second shell 220. The first contact surfaces 211 and 221 are respectively provided with the first heat insulation plate 212 and the second heat insulation plate 222. Both the first heat insulation plate 212 and the second heat insulation plate 222 are made of ceramic fiber to prevent the heat from the heating wire from escaping through the joint. The first heat insulation plate 212 is provided with a sealing element 213, which is a high-temperature resistant fluororubber strip, primarily serving a sealing function. The strip has a groove 214, and a first magnet 310 is provided in the groove 214. This groove 214 can be a through groove. The magnet is connected to the first heat insulation plate 212. The first magnet 310 does not protrude from the groove 214. The thickness of the sealing member 213 is such that after being squeezed and spliced by the first abutment surface 211 and the second abutment surface 221, the high-temperature resistant fluororubber strip can be compressed and has elasticity. After compression, the first magnet 310 and the magnetic guide plate 223 are exposed and attract each other, which is used to assist the splicing of the first housing 210 and the second housing 220.
[0040] according to Figure 3-5 As shown, the fixing device 400 includes a first fixing seat 410 and a second fixing seat 420 respectively. The first fixing seat 410 is disposed on the first housing 210, and the second fixing seat 420 is disposed on the second housing 220. When the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 are assembled, bolts can be sequentially inserted into the first fixing seat 410 and the second fixing seat 420 to keep the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 in an assembled state.
[0041] Specifically, the fixing seat should be located in the middle of the first housing 210 and the second housing 220. Both the first fixing seat 410 and the second fixing seat 420 are provided with multiple mounting holes 430. Bolts corresponding to the number of mounting holes 430 pass through the mounting holes 430 on the first fixing seat 410 and the second fixing seat 420 in sequence to realize the fixed connection between the first fixing seat 410 and the second fixing seat 420, thereby realizing the first housing 210 and the second housing 220 in a spliced state.
[0042] according to Figure 2 and 4 As shown, the material cylinder 110 includes a feeding section 113 and a heating and heat preservation section 114; the feeding section 113 and the heating and heat preservation section 114 are interconnected, and the feeding section 113 needs to be separated from the heating and heat preservation section 114. If they are not separated, the material in the feeding section 113 will melt, which will easily block the feeding port 112.
[0043] A separator 115 is provided between the feeding section 113 and the heating and heat preservation section 114. The auxiliary magnetic attraction device also includes a second magnet 320. The second magnet 320 is located on the separator 115 near the heat preservation device 200. One end of the first shell 210 and the second shell 220 can attract each other with the second magnet 320. The outer shell 250 covers the side and the top and bottom surfaces of the cylinder. The outer shell 250 is made of a magnetically conductive material, such as low carbon steel.
[0044] The partition seat 115 is equipped with a second magnet 320. During installation, the worker can first magnetically connect the bottom of the first housing 210 or the second housing 220 to the second magnet 320, which has a pulling force. One hand can hold one housing, while the other hand can pick up the other housing and magnetically attach its bottom to the second magnet 320. Then, both hands can close the first housing 210 and the second housing 220, and the first magnet 310 will magnetically attract the magnetic guide plate 223, achieving initial fixation. This process can be completed by one person. Similarly, disassembly is also done in the same way. During maintenance, one person can complete the work, which is convenient and saves labor.
[0045] according to Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the feeding port 112 is also provided with a hopper 160, which has multiple feeding ports 170 to speed up the feeding process. The insulation device 200 is also provided with a protective cover 190 to protect outsiders and prevent curious operation of the external insulation device 200. At the same time, even if the heat insulation layer 230 is provided, the outer shell 250 may still have a certain temperature due to the heat conduction of the metal, which can prevent burns.
[0046] The above description, in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this utility model. It should not be construed that the specific implementation of this utility model is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, the architectural form of this utility model can be flexibly varied without departing from its concept, and a series of products can be derived. Any simple deductions or substitutions should be considered as falling within the patent protection scope defined by the submitted claims.
