[0025] This utility model provides a twin-screw assembly based on modular design, such as Figure 1-5 It includes: a transmission mechanism 1, a first screw mechanism 2, a second screw mechanism 3, and an output shaft mounting base 4, such as... Figure 2 The transmission mechanism 1 includes an internal gear drive block 11, an internal gear mounting seat 12, and two first bearings 13. The internal gear mounting seat 12 has an internal cavity and openings at both ends.

The outer ring of the first bearing 13 is fixedly connected to the internal gear mounting seat 12, and the inner ring of the first bearing 13 is fixedly connected to the internal gear drive block 11. A limiting boss 113 is provided on the outer periphery of the internal gear drive block 11, and the limiting boss 113 is located between the two first bearings 13.

[0026] The left end of the internal gear drive block 11 is provided with a gear drive shaft 112 with a common central shaft. The gear drive shaft 112 extends to the left and a coupling 5 is installed on the gear drive shaft 112. The coupling 5 is a three-jaw coupling. The transmission mechanism 1 is connected to an external power source through the three-jaw coupling.

[0027] like Figure 1 , 3 The first screw mechanism 2 includes a first screw output shaft 21, a first gear 22, and a first screw 23. The first gear 22 is fixed to the power input end at the left end of the first screw output shaft 21, and the first screw 23 is fixed to the right end of the first screw output shaft 21. The first gear 22 meshes with the internal gear ring 111 for transmission.

[0028] like Figure 1 , 3 The second screw mechanism 3 includes a second screw output shaft 31, a second gear 32, and a second screw 33. The second gear 32 is fixed to the power input end at the left end of the second screw output shaft 31, and the second screw 33 is fixed to the right end of the second screw output shaft 31. The second gear 32 meshes with the internal gear ring 111 for transmission. The first gear 22 and the second gear 32 mesh with different areas of the internal gear ring 111 for transmission. The first gear 22 and the second gear 32 are staggered along the central axis in the internal gear drive block 11. (Refer to...) Figure 1 ,3 The first gear 22 is located to the left of the second gear 32; the first screw 23 and the second screw 33 are screws that rotate in the same direction with their threads meshing with each other.

[0029] like Figure 1-4 The left end of the output shaft mounting base 4 is the power connection end, and the right end of the output shaft mounting base 4 is the working end. The power connection end of the output shaft mounting base 4 is fixedly connected to the power output end at the right end of the internal gear mounting base 12. The first screw output shaft 21 of the first screw mechanism 2 and the second screw output shaft 31 of the second screw mechanism 3 are arranged in parallel and connected in the output shaft mounting base 4, and can only rotate around their own axis.

[0030] The output shaft mounting base 4 is provided with several second bearings 41 and several third bearings 42. The outer ring of the second bearing 41 is fixedly connected to the output shaft mounting base 4, and the inner ring of the second bearing 41 is fixedly connected to the first screw output shaft 21. The outer ring of the third bearing 42 is fixedly connected to the output shaft mounting base 4, and the inner ring of the third bearing 42 is fixedly connected to the second screw output shaft 31.

[0031] like Figure 4-5 A sealing mounting cavity 43 is provided on the inner wall of the working end of the output shaft mounting base 4. A sealing structure 6 is installed in the sealing mounting cavity 43. The sealing structure 6 includes a sealing ring 61, a first sealing ring 62, a spring 63, and a washer 64. The sealing ring 61 is made of silicon carbide, which has good wear resistance. The sealing ring 61 and the spring 63 are sleeved on the first screw output shaft 21. Figure 4 A washer 64 is installed on the left end face of the sealing ring 61. A spring 63 is located to the left of the washer 64, with both ends of the spring 63 abutting against the output shaft mounting seat 4 and the washer 64, respectively. Figure 5 In the design, a protruding sealing ring boss 611 is provided at the right end of the sealing ring 61, and an output shaft boss 211 is provided around the outer circumference of the first screw output shaft 21. The sealing ring boss 611 and the output shaft boss 211 are sealed and fitted together to form a sliding sealing surface. The contact surfaces between the sealing ring boss 611 and the output shaft boss 211 are smoothly machined, resulting in low frictional resistance. A groove is formed on the outer circumference of the sealing ring 61, and a first sealing ring 62 is placed in the groove of the sealing ring 61. The first sealing ring 62 seals the gap between the sealing ring 61 and the output shaft mounting seat 4. During operation, the first screw output shaft 21 rotates, and the sealing ring 61 is connected to the output shaft mounting seat 4 through a compressed spring 63. The compressed spring 63 abuts against the sealing ring 61, preventing the sealing ring 61 from rotating. When the sealing ring 61 does not rotate, the spring 63 abuts against the sealing ring 61, and the sealing ring 61 is sealed and fitted with the output shaft boss 211. During long-term operation, when there is wear and tear between the sealing ring 61 and the output shaft boss 211, the spring 63 pushes the sealing ring 61 towards the output shaft boss 211 to maintain the sealing state between the sealing ring 61 and the output shaft boss 211 at all times.

[0032] A groove is provided on the outer wall of the working end of the output shaft mounting base 4, and a second sealing ring 44 is installed in the groove of the output shaft mounting base 4.

[0033] During operation, the external power mechanism drives the internal gear drive block 11 of the transmission mechanism 1 to rotate in the internal gear mounting seat 12 through the coupling 5. The internal gear drive block 11 is synchronously meshed with the first gear 22 and the second gear 32 inside the internal gear ring 111, thereby driving the first screw 23 and the second screw 33 to rotate synchronously in the same direction. The first screw 23 and the second screw 33 rotate together to transport materials.

[0034] In summary, the modular twin-screw assembly of this invention transmits power synchronously to the first and second screw mechanisms through a transmission mechanism, causing the output shafts of the first and second screws to rotate synchronously in the same direction. The two screws have good working synchronization, and there is no tooth jamming between them. The two screws work together to transport materials, resulting in a significant improvement in efficiency.

[0035] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0036] 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 the 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.
