本発明は混練度の調整機能を向上せしめた連続式混練機
に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a continuous kneading machine with an improved ability to adjust the degree of kneading.
合成樹脂等の被混線材料を混練機のチャンバー内に連続
的に供給しながら、チャンバー内のミキシングロータに
より溶融混練した後混練機の吐出口より被混練物を吐出

なわち混練後の樹脂の均質化を図り、また、樹脂材料に
応じた適正な混練度を得る等の意味から、各種条件に適
応して混練度を調整し得ることが要求される。In a continuous kneading machine, the material to be kneaded, such as synthetic resin, is continuously fed into the chamber of the kneading machine, melted and kneaded by a mixing rotor in the chamber, and then the material to be kneaded is discharged from the discharge port of the kneading machine. In order to make the kneading degree of the resin uniform, that is, to homogenize the resin after kneading, and to obtain an appropriate kneading degree depending on the resin material, it is possible to adjust the kneading degree to suit various conditions. required.
従来、このような混練度の調整手段としては、混練機の

回転数を制御することにより吐出抵抗を側倒する手段を
講じた装置が知られている。Conventionally, as a means for adjusting the degree of kneading, an orifice whose opening degree can be adjusted is provided at the discharge port of the material to be kneaded in a kneader, and the degree of kneading is adjusted by controlling the discharge resistance by adjusting the degree of opening of the orifice. There are known devices in which a screw extruder is directly connected in place of the orifice and the rotational speed of the extruder is controlled to reduce the discharge resistance.
しかしながら、前者の手段を講じた装置の場合、オリフ
ィスの開度制御だけでは正確な混練度の調整は困難であ

気して運転する場合に、溶融樹脂の粘度が低いときには
オリフィス部で大気圧により樹脂が押戻され、空気が流
入して真空ベントができなくなる等の欠点がある。However, in the case of equipment that uses the former method, it is difficult to accurately adjust the degree of kneading just by controlling the opening of the orifice, and the kneading machine must be operated under reduced pressure to remove air bubbles and evaporated moisture. In this case, when the viscosity of the molten resin is low, the resin is pushed back by the atmospheric pressure at the orifice, causing air to flow in, making vacuum venting impossible.
一方、後者の手段を講じた装置では構造が複雑化及び大
型化して設備費が高くつき、しかも、スクリューの回転
数の制御に対し、樹脂の排出量の増減に時間的なずれが
生じ、応答が遅いため、微妙な調整が困難であると共に
ハンチング等を起こし易い等の欠点があった。On the other hand, equipment that takes the latter method has a complicated and large structure, resulting in high equipment costs.Furthermore, there is a time lag in increasing or decreasing the amount of resin discharged in response to controlling the number of revolutions of the screw, resulting in a response. Since the speed is slow, it is difficult to make delicate adjustments, and hunting is likely to occur.

。The present invention eliminates these conventional drawbacks, and by controlling the material temperature using a gear pump, it is possible to adjust the kneading degree accurately and with good responsiveness, and also to prevent material discharge and air sealing at the discharge section. To provide a continuous kneading machine that can reliably perform vacuum venting at will, and can keep costs low by simplifying the structure as much as possible.

あり、以下、本発明を図示せる実施例によって詳説する
。The present invention is characterized by a continuous type mixing rotor that continuously melts and kneads the material to be mixed in a chamber that has a supply port for the material to be mixed at one end and a discharge port at the other end. Equipped with a kneading machine main body, a feeder that continuously and quantitatively supplies the material to be mixed into the chamber from the supply port, and a gear pump directly connected to the discharge port, the gear pump is converted into a gear pump drive device whose rotation speed is adjustable. At the same time, a temperature detection element detects the temperature of the molten material at the discharge port. When the temperature of the molten material becomes lower than a set value in response to a detection signal from the temperature detection element, the gear pump rotation speed is reduced to melt the material. The present invention is provided with a control circuit that controls the gear pump drive device so as to increase the number of revolutions of the gear pump when the temperature of the material becomes higher than the set value.

混練機本体1は一般構造を具備するものであるが、図例
では互いに異方向に回転する二軸のロータ3゜3を備え
、該ロータ3は樹脂送給用のスクリュ一部3aと混練部
を構成する適宜形状の混練翼3bとを有する。The kneading machine main body 1 has a general structure, but in the illustrated example, it has two rotors 3°3 that rotate in different directions, and the rotor 3 has a screw part 3a for resin feeding and a kneading part. The kneading blade 3b has an appropriately shaped kneading blade 3b.
そして、フィーダー(図示省略)により連続定量的に供
給される樹脂材料を上記スクリュ一部6により混練部に
送給し、ロータ3の回転によって混練翼3bで溶融混練
するものである。Then, the resin material that is continuously and quantitatively supplied by a feeder (not shown) is fed to the kneading section by the screw part 6, and melted and kneaded by the kneading blades 3b by the rotation of the rotor 3.
この場合、回転するロータ3の混練翼3b自体は殆ど材
料を押出す作用を有しないものである。In this case, the kneading blades 3b of the rotating rotor 3 themselves have almost no function of extruding the material.
6は同径の二個の歯車6a 、5bを組合わせたギヤポ
ンプで、前記混練機本体1の吐出口5に直結し、可変速
のギヤポンプ駆動装置(図示省略)により回転数調節可
能に駆動されるようにしている。A gear pump 6 is a combination of two gears 6a and 5b of the same diameter, and is directly connected to the discharge port 5 of the kneading machine main body 1, and is driven by a variable speed gear pump drive device (not shown) so that its rotational speed can be adjusted. I try to do that.
該ギヤポンプ6は、溶融混練された材料をギヤポンプ6
の回転数に応じた吐出量で押出す作用を為す。The gear pump 6 transfers the melted and kneaded material to the gear pump 6.
It works by extruding at a discharge amount that corresponds to the rotation speed.
こうして、フィーダーにより連続定量的に被混線材料を

にしている。In this way, the material to be mixed is continuously and quantitatively supplied to the kneading machine body 1 by the feeder, and the discharge amount can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation speed of the gear pump 6. is made to depend on it.
つまり、ギヤポンプ6の回転数を速くすれば材料の吐出
量が増加することによりチャンバー2内の充填率が低く
なり、逆に回転数を遅くすれば吐出量の減少により充填
率が高められるように構成されている。In other words, if the rotation speed of the gear pump 6 is increased, the amount of material discharged will increase and the filling rate in the chamber 2 will be lowered, and conversely, if the rotation speed is made slower, the filling rate will be increased by decreasing the amount of material discharged. It is configured.
7は温度検出素子で、吐出口5においてギヤポンプ6の
直前部分に設けられ、かゝる部分で溶融材料の温度を検
出する。Reference numeral 7 denotes a temperature detection element, which is provided at a portion immediately before the gear pump 6 at the discharge port 5, and detects the temperature of the molten material at this portion.
そして、その検出信号を受ける制御回路(図示省略)に
より、吐出口5における溶融材料の温度が予め定められ
た設定値より低くなったときはギヤポンプ回転数を減少
させ、溶融材料の温度が設定値より高くなったときはギ
ヤポンプ回転数を増加させるように、ギヤポンプ駆動装
置を制御している。Then, when the temperature of the molten material at the discharge port 5 becomes lower than a predetermined set value, a control circuit (not shown) that receives the detection signal reduces the gear pump rotation speed so that the temperature of the molten material reaches the set value. The gear pump drive device is controlled to increase the gear pump rotational speed when the rotation speed becomes higher.
すなわち、混練機本体1における材料の混練度には、材
料に対するせん断仕事に関係するチャンバー2内の材料
充填率、ロータ3,3の回転数、温度等の条件が影響す
る。That is, the degree of kneading of the material in the kneader main body 1 is influenced by conditions such as the material filling rate in the chamber 2, the number of rotations of the rotors 3, and the temperature, which are related to the shearing work on the material.
特に、吐出口5における溶融材料の温度は、せん断仕事
による発熱に依存し、せん断仕事に応じた混練度調節の
ための重要な制御要素となる。In particular, the temperature of the molten material at the discharge port 5 depends on the heat generated by the shearing work, and is an important control element for adjusting the kneading degree according to the shearing work.
そして、前記ギヤポンプ6の回転数は、チャンバー2内
の材料の充填率、せん断仕事、温度に関係してくる。The rotation speed of the gear pump 6 is related to the filling rate of the material in the chamber 2, shearing work, and temperature.
そこで、ギヤポンプ6及び温度検出素子1並びに制御回
路を用いて溶融材料の温度の制御機構を構成し、これに
よって混練度の調整を可能にしている。Therefore, a control mechanism for controlling the temperature of the molten material is constructed using the gear pump 6, the temperature detection element 1, and the control circuit, thereby making it possible to adjust the degree of kneading.

度に変化が生じたときにこれに伴う溶融材料の温度変化
を検出する。To explain in detail the effect of adjusting the degree of kneading in the kneading machine of the present invention, the material that is quantitatively and continuously supplied into the chamber 2 of the kneading machine main body 1 is melted and kneaded by the rotors 3, 3. Thereafter, the gear pump 6 discharges the molten material at a discharge amount corresponding to its rotation speed. At this time, the temperature of the molten material is measured by the temperature detection element 7, and when the degree of kneading changes, the temperature of the molten material is measured. Detects temperature changes in molten material.
そして、該素子7からの信号を受ける制御回路がギヤポ

増大し、これに伴って温度が上昇し、設定値に戻される
。A control circuit receiving a signal from the element 7 controls the gear pump rotation speed, and when the temperature of the molten material falls below a set value, the rotation speed of the gear pump 6 is lowered to reduce the discharge amount of the molten material. , the filling rate of the material in the chamber 2 increases, the shearing work on the material increases, and the temperature rises accordingly and returns to the set value.
逆に溶融材料の温度が設定値よりも高くなったときには
、ギヤポンプ6の回転数を上げることにより、温度が下
がってやはり設定値に戻されることとなる。Conversely, when the temperature of the molten material becomes higher than the set value, increasing the rotation speed of the gear pump 6 lowers the temperature and returns it to the set value.
また、温度検出信号に応じた制御は、ギヤポンプ6の回
転数の制御に加え、ミキシングロータ3゜30回転数も
制御するようにしてもよい。In addition to controlling the rotation speed of the gear pump 6, the control according to the temperature detection signal may also control the rotation speed of the mixing rotor 3°30.
このようにして温度を制御することにより、混練度を均
一化すべく調整し得ることとなる。By controlling the temperature in this manner, the degree of kneading can be adjusted to be uniform.
