Multi-blade rotary melt filter Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of melt filtration technology, specifically to a multi-blade rotary melt filter. Background Technology
[0002] A melt filter is used in the processing of molten materials to continuously filter large particles or other impurities in the melt, thereby obtaining a fine and pure molten material, which makes the quality of the product made after the melt solidifies more reliable.
[0003] However, existing melt filters are usually installed at the discharge end of the extruder. The natural pressure of the extruder causes the melt to move inside the filter. During this movement, fine particles in the melt pass through the filter screen and are discharged from the discharge port, while waste is blocked by the filter screen and moves forward into the slag discharge area. In this process, large particles of impurities in the melt adhere to the filter screen, affecting the filtration effect and speed. At the same time, when impurities clog the filter screen, the melt may not have enough time to complete filtration before entering the waste area, resulting in waste of melt material. To address these issues, a multi-blade rotary melt filter is provided. Summary of the Invention

[0027] This invention discloses a multi-blade rotary melt filter, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0028] 1. This multi-blade rotary melt filter uses low pressure to force melt into the feed inlet. A drive shaft then rotates the rollers, causing multiple arc-shaped blades to rotate against the inner wall of the filter screen. Through contact with the material, fine particles pass through the filter screen into the discharge chamber, while coarse particles and impurities that do not pass through are scraped away by the arc-shaped blades. This causes the impurities to quickly move towards one end of the conical waste storage chamber. Because the multiple arc-shaped blades are arranged in multiple rows in a ring, with the end of the previous set of blades higher than the front of the next set, the waste material immediately enters the position of the next set of blades after leaving the previous set. This allows the waste residue to quickly enter the conical waste storage chamber, preventing clogging of the filter screen and improving filtration speed and efficiency, thus increasing filtration efficiency and material recovery rate.
[0029] 2. This multi-blade rotary melt filter has cooling mechanisms at both the upper and lower die heads. Cooling water circulates through the coolant circulation joint to reduce the temperature at the waste discharge pipe and the rotary drive mechanism. This allows the material in the spiral groove of the waste discharge screw to change from a molten state to a solid state, ensuring continuous and effective extrusion. It also prevents the die head sealing assembly from overheating, which could lead to seal failure and leakage. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] This application provides a multi-blade rotary melt filter, which solves the problem that large particles of impurities in the melt adhere to the filter screen, affecting the filtration effect and speed. At the same time, when impurities clog the filter screen, the melt may enter the waste area before it can be filtered, resulting in waste of melt material.
[0045] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0046] This invention discloses a multi-blade rotary melt filter.
[0047] As shown in Figures 1-11, the filter housing 1 includes a filter housing component 1, and a rotary extrusion mechanism 4 is provided inside the filter housing component 1. The filter housing component 1 includes a middle section housing 11 and a discharge port 14 opened on the outer wall of the middle section housing 11. A feed port 13 is provided at one end of the middle section housing 11, and a waste discharge screw 110 is provided at the other end of the middle section housing 11.
[0048] The rotary extrusion mechanism 4 includes a rotary filter pressurizing component 41 and a support mesh cylinder 43 disposed outside the rotary filter pressurizing component 41. The support mesh cylinder 43 is fixedly disposed with the middle section shell 11, and a discharge chamber 16 communicating with the discharge port 14 is provided between the two.
[0049] The inner wall of the support cylinder 43 is provided with a filter screen 42, and an extrusion chamber connected to the feed inlet 13 is provided between the filter screen 42 and the rotary filter pressurizing component 41.
[0050] The waste discharge screw 110 is coaxially fixed with the rotary filter pressurizing component 41. The waste discharge screw 110 is located at the end of the extrusion chamber for the discharge of large particles of waste.
[0051] The outer surface of the rotary filter pressurizing component 41 is provided with multiple arc-shaped blades 412. The multiple sets of arc-shaped blades 412 are attached to the inner wall of the filter screen 42 and rotate around the axis of the rotary filter pressurizing component 41 to scrape off waste.
[0052] The arc-shaped blades 412 are tilted to one side along the axis of the rotary filter pressurizing element 41, and the end of the first set of arc-shaped blades 412 extends beyond the end of the second set of arc-shaped blades 412.
[0053] An upper head 12 is fixedly installed at one end of the middle section housing 11, and a feed inlet 13 is opened on the outer surface of the upper head 12. A lower head 111 is fixedly installed at the other end of the middle section housing 11. The lower head 111 is sleeved on the outside of the waste discharge screw 110. Cooling mechanisms 3 are installed at both ends of the middle section housing 11.
[0054] The cooling mechanism 3 includes a head sealing sleeve 31 and a discharge cooling sleeve 32. The head sealing sleeve 31 is fixed to the outer side of the upper head 12, and one end of the head sealing sleeve 31 extends into the interior of the upper head 12. The discharge cooling sleeve 32 is disposed on the outer side of the lower head 111. Both the head sealing sleeve 31 and the discharge cooling sleeve 32 are provided with hollow cooling chambers 33, and coolant circulation connectors 34 are provided on the outer side of the hollow cooling chambers 33. A waste discharge pipe 19 is fixedly installed inside the lower head 111 at the end away from the middle section housing 11. A waste discharge screw 110 is rotatably connected to the interior of the waste discharge pipe 19, and the discharge cooling sleeve 32 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the waste discharge pipe 19.
[0055] The cooling water is circulated through the feeding cooling jacket 32 to reduce the temperature of the waste discharge pipe 19, thereby reducing the temperature of the material in the spiral groove of the waste discharge screw 110, causing it to change from a molten state to a solid state. The spiral groove of the waste discharge screw 110 is designed with a certain angle to ensure that material is discharged only when the waste discharge screw 110 rotates. In use, when the drive shaft 21 drives the rotating roller 411 to rotate, it synchronously drives the waste discharge screw 110 to rotate, realizing the spiral conveying of waste outward.
[0056] Coolant circulates through the hollow cooling chamber 33 in the head seal sleeve 31 to absorb heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the head seal assembly 24 and ensuring that the plastic melt does not leak out through the gap between the drive shaft 21 and the head seal assembly 24. The head seal assembly 24 adopts a combined packing seal, which in this case is composed of a copper gasket and a non-metallic heat insulation gasket.
[0057] A support cone 17 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the inner end of the waste discharge screw 110. A conical waste storage cavity 18 is formed between the support cone 17 and the inner wall of the lower head 111. The conical waste storage cavity 18 is connected to the interior of the waste discharge pipe 19.
[0058] An annular feeding cavity 15 is formed between the die head sealing sleeve 31 and the inner wall of the upper die head 12. The two ends of the annular feeding cavity 15 are connected to the feed inlet 13 and the extrusion chamber, respectively.
[0059] The head sealing sleeve 31 is internally equipped with a rotary drive mechanism 2, which includes a drive shaft 21, a bearing cover chamber 22, a tapered bearing 23, a head sealing assembly 24, and a head wear-resistant sleeve 26. The drive shaft 21 is installed at the end of the rotary filter pressurizing component 41; the bearing cover chamber 22 is fixedly installed on the outer end face of the head sealing sleeve 31; the tapered bearing 23 is fixedly installed between the drive shaft 21 and the bearing cover chamber 22; the head sealing assembly 24 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the drive shaft 21, and the head sealing assembly 24 is rotatably sealed with the inner wall of the head sealing sleeve 31; the head wear-resistant sleeve 26 is installed on the outer surface of the connection between the rotary filter pressurizing component 41 and the drive shaft 21, and the head wear-resistant sleeve 26 is rotatably arranged with the inner wall of the head sealing sleeve 31.
[0060] The tapered bearing 23 is provided to counteract the axial thrust of the plastic melt on the drive shaft 21. During operation, there is a certain pressure inside the filter, which will force the drive shaft 21 to move backward. This thrust must be counteracted, hence the tapered bearing 23. This structure can also be a thrust bearing or a thrust sliding bearing.
[0061] The rotary filter pressurizing component 41 includes a rotating roller 411, an arc-shaped blade 412 mounted on the outer surface of the rotating roller 411, and a drive connection part 415 and a transmission connection part 414 integrally formed at both ends of the rotating roller 411, respectively. The support cone 17 and the wear-resistant sleeve 26 of the head are respectively fixedly installed at the two ends of the rotating roller 411.
[0062] The end of the drive shaft 21 is integrally formed with a drive connector 25, which is movably engaged with the drive connection part 415. The end of the waste discharge screw 110 is integrally formed with a transmission connector 112, which is movably inserted with the transmission connection part 414.
[0063] An assembly station 416 is provided on the side of the arc-shaped blade 412 facing the rotating roller 411. A spring 413 is installed inside the assembly station 416. The other end of the spring 413 is fixedly installed inside the rotating roller 411. A slanted scraping groove 417 is provided on the side of the arc-shaped blade 412 away from the rotating roller 411. By slanting the scraping groove 417, the contact area between the arc-shaped blade 412 and the filter screen is reduced, thereby effectively scraping away impurities from the inner wall of the filter screen 42.
[0064] Working principle: When in use, the device connects the feed inlet 13 to an extruder. Under the natural pressure of the extruder, the melt enters the filter. Simultaneously, an external drive component installed at the end of the drive shaft 21 causes the drive shaft 21 to rotate. At this time, the external melt enters the extrusion chamber through the annular feed cavity 15, and under pressure, the melt moves along the extrusion chamber towards the conical waste storage cavity 18. At this time, the drive shaft 21 drives the rotating roller 411 to rotate, causing multiple arc-shaped blades 412 to rotate against the inner wall of the filter screen 42. Under the action of the spring component 413, the arc-shaped blades 412 are tightly attached to the inner wall of the filter screen 42. At this time, the arc-shaped blades 412 quickly scrape off the waste residue attached to the inner wall of the filter screen 42, causing the residue to move in a spiral state. In this process, fine material passes through the filter screen 42 and enters the discharge chamber 16, and is finally discharged through the discharge port 14. Coarse material and impurities that do not pass through the filter screen 42 are pushed forward into the conical waste storage chamber 18, and then spirally extruded outward by the waste discharge screw 110. During this process, since multiple arc blades 412 are arranged in multiple rows in a ring, and the end of the previous set of arc blades 412 is higher than the front end of the next set of arc blades 412, the material immediately enters the end position of the next set of arc blades 412 after leaving the previous set of arc blades 412, thereby achieving continuous scraping of waste and avoiding missed scraping of waste. This ensures that most of the material can be filtered and collected when it enters the conical waste storage chamber 18, improving filtration efficiency and material recovery rate.
[0065] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
