[0020] 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a novel granulator, including a material loading tank 1, the bottom of which is connected to a material discharge shell 2 via a replacement component, and the material discharge shell 2 is provided with a switching component and a fixing component;

[0022] The switching component includes a granulation forming plate 3. The granulation forming plate 3 is horizontally slidably installed on the feed shell 2. The outer wall of the granulation forming plate 3 is also equipped with mounting plates 15. A rack 8 is installed between the mounting plates 15. A gear 9 is meshed at the bottom of the rack 8. The gear 9 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the drive rod 10. The drive rod 10 is rotatably installed on the outer wall of the feed shell 2.

[0023] Specifically, when it is necessary to switch the granulation forming plate 3, the worker rotates the drive rod 10 to drive the gear 9 to rotate, the rotating gear 9 drives the rack 8 to move, and the rack 8 drives the granulation forming plate 3 to move in the feed shell 2. In this way, the granulation holes of different shapes or sizes on the top of the granulation forming plate 3 can be switched, so as to process particles of different shapes or sizes.

[0024] The granulation forming plate 3 has granulation holes of various sizes or shapes;

[0025] The bottom of the feeding shell 2 is equipped with a cutting mechanism for the granulation process. The cutting is achieved by driving the cutter through the drive motor.

[0026] Furthermore, positioning blocks 4 are installed at both ends of the top of the granulation forming plate 3;

[0027] Specifically, positioning blocks 4 are installed at both ends of the granulation forming plate 3 to restrict the movement of the granulation forming plate 3 and prevent the granulation forming plate 3 from sliding excessively in the feed shell 2. At the same time, when the outer wall of the positioning block 4 contacts the outer wall of the feed shell 2, the circular groove 5 and the bolt 6 are aligned, making it convenient to insert the bolt 6 into the circular groove 5. The positioning block 4 assists in aligning the circular groove 5 and the bolt 6.

[0028] Furthermore, the fixing component includes a circular groove 5 and a bolt 6. The outer wall of the granulation forming plate 3 is symmetrically provided with circular grooves 5. The outer side of the feed shell 2 is threaded with bolts 6, and the through end of the bolts 6 is located inside the circular groove 5.

[0029] Specifically, after the granulation forming plate 3 is pushed to move the circular groove 5 on it to align with the bolt 6, the bolt 6 is inserted into the circular groove 5 by rotating it. At this time, the granulation forming plate 3 is fixed by the cooperation of the feed shell 2 and the bolt 6.

[0030] Furthermore, the replacement component includes an internal threaded sleeve 7 and an external threaded tube 11. The external threaded tube 11 is vertically installed at the bottom of the material loading tank 1, and the internal threaded sleeve 7 is threadedly fitted at the bottom of the external threaded tube 11. The internal threaded sleeve 7 is installed at the top of the material discharge shell 2.

[0031] Specifically, when it is necessary to replace the entire feed shell 2 and granulation forming plate 3, simply rotate the inner threaded sleeve 7 to unload it from the outer threaded tube 11, then replace it with a granulation forming plate 3 of other specifications, and then install the feed shell 2 onto the outer threaded tube 11 in sequence, which further improves the range of granulation shape and size.

[0032] Furthermore, multiple internally threaded tubes 12 are vertically installed on the top of the material loading tank 1, and a screw 13 is threaded into the bottom of each internally threaded tube 12. Multiple limiting grooves 14 are opened on the top of the material unloading shell 2, and a screw 13 is inserted into the limiting groove 14.

[0033] Specifically, after replacing and installing the discharge shell 2, the screw 13 installed on the bottom thread of the internal threaded tube 12 is moved down by rotating it, and the bottom thread of the screw 13 is inserted into the limiting groove 14, which can improve the stability of the discharge shell 2 at the bottom of the loading tank 1.

[0034] Furthermore, a motor 16 is installed at the top of the material loading tank 1, and a stirring rod 17 is vertically installed at the output end of the motor 16. An auger 18 is installed at the bottom of the stirring rod 17, and the auger 18 is located inside the external threaded pipe 11. Multiple stirring blades are installed on the outside of the stirring rod 17.

[0035] Specifically, the raw materials are added into the loading tank 1, and then the motor 16 is started to drive the stirring rod 17 to rotate. The rotating stirring rod 17 drives the stirring blade to stir the raw materials, which can ensure that the raw materials fall. During this process, the rotating stirring rod 17 drives the auger 18 to rotate. Since the auger 18 is located inside the external threaded pipe 11, the raw materials in the loading tank 1 can be extruded and shaped at the granulation forming plate 3. Then, the extruded raw materials are cut into granules by the cutter.

[0036] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows: Raw materials are added into the loading tank 1, and then the motor 16 is started to drive the stirring rod 17 to rotate. The rotating stirring rod 17 drives the stirring blade to stir the raw materials, which can ensure that the raw materials fall. During this process, the rotating stirring rod 17 drives the auger 18 to rotate. Since the auger 18 is located in the external threaded pipe 11, the raw materials in the loading tank 1 can be extruded and shaped into pellets at the pelletizing plate 3. Then, the extruded raw materials are cut into pellets by the cutter. When switching the pelletizing plate 3, the worker rotates the drive rod 10 to drive the gear 9 to rotate. The rotating gear 9 drives the rack 8 to move. The rack 8 drives the pelletizing plate 3 to move in the feed shell 2, which can switch the pelletizing holes of different shapes or sizes on the top of the pelletizing plate 3. Then, the bolt 6 is inserted into the circular groove 5 by rotating the bolt. At this time, the pelletizing plate 3 is fixed by the cooperation of the feed shell 2 and the bolt 6.

[0037] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
