[0021] The rotary drive mechanism of this invention can drive the feeding screw to rotate, so as to convey the plastic raw material along the extension direction of the barrel through the spiral propulsion action.

Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a granulation device for producing plastic products, including a feeding hopper 1, a material cylinder 2, a feeding screw 3, a rotary drive mechanism 4, heating jackets 5, a heat insulation cover 6, an air-cooling mechanism 7, an extrusion head 8, and a pelletizing mechanism 9. The feeding hopper 1 is connected to the material cylinder 2 and is used to feed plastic raw materials into the material cylinder 2. The feeding screw 3 is rotatably disposed inside the material cylinder 2. The rotary drive mechanism 4 is connected to the end of the feeding screw 3 and is used to drive the feeding screw 3 to rotate. Multiple heating jackets 5 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the material cylinder 2 and are used to heat the material cylinder 2. The heat insulation cover 6 is wrapped around the outside of the heating jackets 5 and has cooling holes 60 at its bottom. The air-cooling mechanism 7 is disposed at the bottom of the heat insulation cover 6 and is used to supply cold air to the cooling holes 60. The extrusion head 8 is located at the discharge end of the barrel 2. The extrusion head 8 is provided with multiple extrusion holes 80, which are used to extrude the molten plastic in the barrel 2 into strips. The plastic raw material enters the barrel 2 from the feed hopper 1. Driven by the rotary drive mechanism 4, the feed screw 3 continuously rotates and pushes the plastic raw material forward. It is heated by the heat provided by the heating jacket 5 to make the plastic raw material reach a molten state. The heat insulation cover 6 can reduce heat loss. After the plastic raw material is fully plasticized, it is extruded into strips through the extrusion holes 80 in the extrusion head 8. Before this, the air cooling mechanism 7 can generate cold air and send it into the heating jacket 5 from the cooling hole 60 to moderately cool the molten plastic raw material in the barrel 2, so that it gradually enters the solidification stage before extrusion, which is convenient for subsequent strip forming and pelletizing operations, and at the same time improves the processing efficiency of the entire pelletizing process.

[0033] The pelletizing mechanism 9 includes a mounting frame 91, a rotary motor 92, a rotating shaft 93, and a cutter 94. The mounting frame 91 is located outside the extrusion head 8. The rotary motor 92 is located on the mounting frame 91, and its output end is connected to the cutter 94 through the rotating shaft 93 to drive the cutter 94 to rotate. During rotation, the cutter 94 contacts and cuts the extruded plastic strip, thereby dividing the continuous strip into granular material.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, further, the extrusion hole 80 is located in the middle region of the extrusion head 8, and a groove 801 is provided on the outer end face of the extrusion head 8. The cutter 94 is located in the groove 801. This arrangement allows the cutter 94 to fit tightly against the extrusion head 8 during cutting, ensuring that the strip is cut off as soon as it leaves the extrusion hole 80, thus improving the cutting accuracy of the particles. In addition, the groove 801 provides a closed working space for the cutter 94, thereby preventing splashing during the pelletizing process and providing a safety protection function.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the air-cooling mechanism 7 further includes a blower 71 and an air duct 72. The blower 71 is located below the insulation cover 6. The air outlet of the blower 71 is connected to the cooling hole 60 through the air duct 72. The blower 71 can generate cold air, which is delivered to the heating jacket 5 through the air duct 72, thereby cooling the molten plastic raw material inside the material cylinder 2.

[0036] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the heat insulation cover 6 further includes an upper cover 61 and a lower cover 62. The upper cover 61 and the lower cover 62 are detachably connected by bolts. The cooling hole 60 is located on the lower cover 62. The top of the upper cover 61 is provided with a vent hole 610. The vent hole 610 is used to allow the airflow flowing through the heating jacket 5 to be discharged outward, thereby forming a circulating flow path for air intake and exhaust, which effectively improves the cooling efficiency.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, further, the top of the upper cover 61 is provided with a clearance hole 611, which is used to avoid the wiring terminals of the heating sleeve 5.

[0038] like Figure 2 As shown, the upper side wall of the feed hopper 1 is provided with a transparent window 10, which is used to display the material level of the plastic raw material in the feed hopper 1.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the feed hopper 1 is further provided with a discharge pipe 11, which is used to discharge the plastic raw material in the feed hopper 1. The discharge pipe 11 is provided with a ball valve 12, which is used to adjust the opening of the discharge pipe 11. When it is necessary to clean the residual raw material in the feed hopper 1 or to change to a different type of plastic raw material, the plastic raw material in the feed hopper 1 can be discharged through the discharge pipe 11, avoiding the inconvenience of disassembling the feed hopper 1 or manually turning it over in the traditional way, and effectively improving the unloading efficiency of the feed hopper 1.

[0040] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
