製粒機Granulator

本創作是關於一種製造顆粒狀材料的機器。This creation is about a machine for making granular materials.

製粒機是一種製造顆粒狀材料B的機器。如圖9所示，現有的製粒機具有一出料機構91、一輸送帶92以及一切割機構93。出料機構91具有多個出料口，該等出料口排列成一直線，而輸送帶92的輸送方向與該直線呈垂直。因此，當液狀或膏狀的原料A自出料口流出後，會落在輸送帶92上，並隨輸送帶92的移動而在輸送帶92上形成一長條狀而扁平的半圓柱形，並在移動過程中漸漸乾燥。由於移動過程中原料A仍為連續的長條狀，因此與空氣的接觸面積較小，使得散熱性較差，必須設置較長的輸送帶才能讓原料A冷卻至足夠的溫度。A granulator is a machine for making a granular material B. As shown in FIG. 9, the conventional granulator has a discharge mechanism 91, a conveyor belt 92, and a cutting mechanism 93. The discharge mechanism 91 has a plurality of discharge ports arranged in a line, and the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 92 is perpendicular to the straight line. Therefore, when the liquid or paste-like raw material A flows out from the discharge port, it falls on the conveyor belt 92, and a long and flat semi-cylindrical shape is formed on the conveyor belt 92 as the conveyor belt 92 moves. And gradually dry during the move. Since the raw material A is still continuous in the moving process, the contact area with the air is small, so that the heat dissipation is poor, and a long conveyor belt must be provided to allow the raw material A to be cooled to a sufficient temperature.

切割機構93位於輸送帶92末端，且其能對輸送帶92上的原料A進行剪切，將長條狀的原料A分割成預設的長度，形成顆粒狀材料B。換言之，切割後所製成的顆粒狀材料B為短而扁平的半圓柱形，因此外形較為方正，且稜稜角角較多，在包裝時在顆粒狀材料B間形成許多縫隙，導致包裝密度效低。The cutting mechanism 93 is located at the end of the conveyor belt 92, and is capable of shearing the material A on the conveyor belt 92 to divide the elongated material A into a predetermined length to form a granular material B. In other words, the granular material B produced after cutting is a short and flat semi-cylindrical shape, so that the shape is relatively square and the angular angle is large, and many gaps are formed between the granular materials B during packaging, resulting in a packing density effect. low.

另一方面，現有技術的製粒機的原料A必須保持連貫性，以避免於輸送過程中因冷卻收縮而斷裂，冷卻後也不可太黏，太黏容易沾黏於輸送帶92上，且裁切過程中容易黏刀，且顆粒的大小難以控制，顆粒外型不美觀，無法保持品質一致。On the other hand, the raw material A of the prior art granulator must be kept consistent to avoid breakage due to cooling shrinkage during transportation, not too sticky after cooling, too sticky to adhere to the conveyor belt 92, and cut It is easy to stick the knife during the cutting process, and the size of the particles is difficult to control, and the appearance of the particles is not beautiful, and the quality cannot be maintained consistently.

有鑑於此，提出一種更佳的改善方案，乃為此業界亟待解決的問題。In view of this, it is an urgent problem to be solved in the industry to propose a better improvement solution.

本創作的主要目的在於，提出一種製粒機，其能精確控制所製造的顆粒狀材料的大小，且顆粒較美觀，不會沾黏。The main purpose of this creation is to propose a granulator that precisely controls the size of the granular material produced, and that the particles are more aesthetically pleasing and do not stick.

為達上述目的，本創作所提出的製粒機具有： 一橫柱，其具有： 一進料通道，其位於該橫柱內，並沿該橫柱的長度方向延伸；及 一狹縫，其位於該橫柱內，並沿該橫柱的長度方向延伸，該狹縫連通於該進料通道且朝向下方； 一套筒，其可轉動地套設於該橫柱，並貼合該橫柱外壁面，該套筒形成有至少一穿孔；以及 一轉動機構，其用以轉動該套筒。In order to achieve the above object, the granulator proposed by the present invention has: a horizontal column having: a feeding passage located in the horizontal column and extending along a length of the horizontal column; and a slit Located in the horizontal column and extending along the length of the horizontal column, the slit communicates with the feeding channel and faces downward; a sleeve rotatably sleeved on the horizontal column and fits the horizontal column The outer wall surface is formed with at least one perforation; and a rotating mechanism for rotating the sleeve.

因此，本創作可透過套筒轉動的速度或筒上穿孔的大小來控制所生產的顆粒狀材料的大小。此外，本創作還可透過加熱單元讓原料保持適當溫度，以在形成顆粒狀前能保持適當的流動性。而原料脫離套筒後的液滴會於輸送機構上坍塌成半球形，因此能充份地與空氣接觸並快速散熱。藉此，即使輸送機構長度較短，可以較短的距離完成冷卻，包裝後仍不會彼此沾黏。而冷卻後所形成的顆粒狀材料亦為半球形，因此不但顆粒完整漂亮，且稜角較少，能於包裝後具有較大的包裝密度。Therefore, the present invention can control the size of the produced granular material by the speed at which the sleeve is rotated or the size of the perforation on the cylinder. In addition, the creation can also maintain the proper temperature of the material through the heating unit to maintain proper fluidity before forming the pellets. The droplets after the material is separated from the sleeve will collapse into a hemispherical shape on the conveying mechanism, so that it can fully contact the air and dissipate heat rapidly. Thereby, even if the length of the conveying mechanism is short, the cooling can be completed at a short distance, and the packaging does not stick to each other. The particulate material formed after cooling is also hemispherical, so that not only the particles are intact and beautiful, but also have fewer corners and can have a larger packing density after packaging.

如前所述之製粒機中，該橫柱更具有一加熱單元，其位於該橫柱內，並沿該橫柱的長度方向延伸。In the granulator as described above, the cross column further has a heating unit located in the cross column and extending along the length of the cross column.

如前所述之製粒機中，該加熱單元具有二管體，該二管體相間隔地位於該橫柱內，並沿該橫柱的長度方向延伸。In the granulator as described above, the heating unit has a two-tube body which is spaced apart in the horizontal column and extends along the length of the horizontal column.

如前所述之製粒機中，該至少一穿孔的數量為多個，且該等穿孔呈直線排列，且該直線平行於該橫柱的長度方向。In the granulator as described above, the number of the at least one perforation is plural, and the perforations are arranged in a straight line, and the straight line is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the transverse column.

如前所述之製粒機中，該至少一穿孔的數量為多個，且該等穿孔呈螺旋狀排列。In the granulator as described above, the number of the at least one perforation is plural, and the perforations are arranged in a spiral shape.

如前所述之製粒機中，該狹縫於該橫柱的長度方向上的截面為上寬下窄。In the granulator as described above, the slit has a width in the longitudinal direction of the cross column which is wide and narrow.

如前所述之製粒機中，該轉動機構具有： 一馬達；以及一帶體，其套設於該馬達及該套筒。In the granulator as described above, the rotating mechanism has: a motor; and a belt body sleeved on the motor and the sleeve.

如前所述之製粒機更具有一輸送機構，其位於該橫柱下方。The granulator as described above further has a conveying mechanism located below the transverse column.

首先請參考圖1至圖4。本創作提出一種製粒機，其具有一橫柱10、一套筒20、一轉動機構30以及一輸送機構40。Please refer to Figure 1 to Figure 4 first. The present invention proposes a granulator having a cross column 10, a sleeve 20, a rotating mechanism 30 and a transport mechanism 40.

橫柱10具有一進料通道11、一狹縫12以及一加熱單元13。橫柱10於其長度方向上的截面為圓形。進料通道11、狹縫12以及加熱單元13位於橫柱10內，並沿橫柱10的長度方向延伸。狹縫12連通於進料通道11且朝向下方，且狹縫12於橫柱10的長度方向上的截面為上寬下窄。加熱單元13具有二管體131，二管體131相間隔地位於橫柱10內，並沿橫柱10的長度方向延伸。The cross column 10 has a feed passage 11, a slit 12, and a heating unit 13. The cross section of the cross column 10 in its longitudinal direction is circular. The feed passage 11, the slit 12, and the heating unit 13 are located inside the horizontal column 10 and extend along the longitudinal direction of the horizontal column 10. The slit 12 communicates with the feed passage 11 and faces downward, and the section of the slit 12 in the longitudinal direction of the cross column 10 is wide and narrow. The heating unit 13 has a two-tube body 131 which is spaced apart from the horizontal column 10 and extends along the longitudinal direction of the horizontal column 10.

套筒20可轉動地套設於橫柱10，並貼合橫柱10外壁面。套筒20形成有至少一穿孔21，當套筒20於橫柱10上轉動時，穿孔21便沿橫柱10外壁面繞行橫柱10。於本實施例中，至少一穿孔21的數量為多個，而穿孔21可沿直線排列或沿螺旋線排列，且若沿直線排列，該直線平行於該橫柱10的長度方向。此外，穿孔21可不限於僅沿一直線或一螺旋線排列，而可分別沿多個相互平行的直線或沿多個相互平行的螺旋線排列。The sleeve 20 is rotatably sleeved on the horizontal column 10 and conforms to the outer wall surface of the horizontal column 10. The sleeve 20 is formed with at least one perforation 21 which, when the sleeve 20 is rotated on the transverse column 10, circumscribes the transverse column 10 along the outer wall surface of the transverse column 10. In the present embodiment, the number of at least one through hole 21 is plural, and the through holes 21 may be arranged in a straight line or along a spiral, and if arranged in a straight line, the line is parallel to the length direction of the horizontal column 10. Further, the perforations 21 may not be limited to being arranged only along a straight line or a spiral, but may be respectively arranged along a plurality of mutually parallel straight lines or along a plurality of mutually parallel spirals.

轉動機構30用以轉動套筒20。具體而言，轉動機構30具有一馬達31及一帶體32。帶體32套設於馬達31及套筒20。藉此，馬達31的動力能透過帶體32傳至套筒20，使套筒20於橫柱10上轉動。The rotating mechanism 30 is used to rotate the sleeve 20. Specifically, the rotating mechanism 30 has a motor 31 and a belt body 32. The belt body 32 is sleeved on the motor 31 and the sleeve 20. Thereby, the power of the motor 31 can be transmitted to the sleeve 20 through the belt body 32, and the sleeve 20 can be rotated on the horizontal column 10.

輸送機構40位於橫柱10下方，其具有一輸送帶41及複數個滾輪42，且輪送帶套設於滾輪42上。輸送機構40的輸送帶41的寬度大於位於最兩端的穿孔21的水平距離，因此所生產的顆粒狀材料B會落於輸送機構40的輸送帶41上。The conveying mechanism 40 is located below the horizontal column 10 and has a conveyor belt 41 and a plurality of rollers 42 , and the wheel belt is sleeved on the roller 42 . The width of the conveyor belt 41 of the conveying mechanism 40 is larger than the horizontal distance of the perforations 21 at the most ends, so that the produced granular material B falls on the conveyor belt 41 of the conveying mechanism 40.

接著請一併參考圖5至圖8。於進行生產時，首先以加熱單元13將橫柱10加熱至適當溫度，然後將原料A擠入進料通道11，且流入進料通道11的原料A會再流至狹縫12內。同時，套筒20於橫柱10上轉動，且套筒20的穿孔21會劃過狹縫12，因此，穿孔21與狹縫12暫時連通，此時原料A即由狹縫12的下端被擠出而通過穿孔21形成膏狀的液滴。隨著套筒20持續轉動，穿孔21與狹縫12不再連通，被擠出的原料A便與狹縫12內的原料A分離，而滴落於輸送機構40上。且膏狀的液滴滴落於輪送機構40後則坍塌成半球形，並隨輸送機構移動且同時冷卻而成半球形的顆粒狀材料B。因此，若使用具有不同大小的穿孔21的套筒20，或以不同速度轉動套筒20，所生產液滴及冷卻後的顆粒狀材料B即能具有不同的大小。Please refer to FIG. 5 to FIG. 8 together. In the production, the cross column 10 is first heated to a suitable temperature by the heating unit 13, and then the raw material A is extruded into the feed passage 11, and the raw material A flowing into the feed passage 11 flows into the slit 12. At the same time, the sleeve 20 is rotated on the horizontal column 10, and the perforation 21 of the sleeve 20 is passed through the slit 12, so that the perforation 21 is temporarily in communication with the slit 12, at which time the material A is squeezed by the lower end of the slit 12. A droplet of a paste is formed through the perforation 21. As the sleeve 20 continues to rotate, the perforations 21 are no longer in communication with the slits 12, and the extruded material A is separated from the material A in the slit 12 and dripped onto the conveying mechanism 40. The paste-like droplets are dropped into a hemispherical shape after being dropped on the wheeling mechanism 40, and are moved with the conveying mechanism and simultaneously cooled to form a hemispherical granular material B. Therefore, if the sleeve 20 having the perforations 21 of different sizes is used, or the sleeve 20 is rotated at different speeds, the produced droplets and the cooled particulate material B can have different sizes.

於其他實施例中，套筒20的穿孔21可不為圓形，而可為沿套筒20圓周方向沿伸的長孔或橢圓形，並能藉由沿套筒20圓周方向不同的長度改變穿孔21與狹縫12連通的時間，達到生產不同大小的顆粒狀材料B的目的。此外，於其他實施例本創作可不具有輸送機構40，而可在橫柱10下設置已裝載冰水或是冷卻劑的容器或袋子，以盛放所生產的顆粒狀材料B。In other embodiments, the perforations 21 of the sleeve 20 may not be circular, but may be elongated or elliptical along the circumferential direction of the sleeve 20, and can be perforated by varying lengths along the circumferential direction of the sleeve 20. 21 The time of communication with the slit 12 achieves the purpose of producing granular materials B of different sizes. Further, in other embodiments, the present invention may not have the conveying mechanism 40, and a container or bag loaded with ice water or a coolant may be disposed under the horizontal column 10 to hold the produced granular material B.

綜上所述，本創作可透過套筒20轉動的速度或筒上穿孔21的大小來控制所生產的顆粒狀材料B的大小。此外，本創作還可透過加熱單元13讓原料A保持適當溫度，以在形成顆粒狀前能保持適當的流動性。而原料脫離套筒後的液滴會於輸送機構40上坍塌成半球形，因此能充份地與空氣接觸並快速散熱。藉此，即使輸送機構40長度較短，可以較短的距離完成冷卻，包裝後仍不會彼此沾黏。而冷卻後所形成的顆粒狀材料B亦為半球形，因此不但顆粒完整漂亮，且稜角較少，能於包裝後具有較大的包裝密度。In summary, the present invention can control the size of the produced granular material B by the speed at which the sleeve 20 is rotated or the size of the perforations 21 on the cylinder. In addition, the present invention can also maintain the raw material A at a proper temperature through the heating unit 13 to maintain proper fluidity before forming pellets. The droplets after the material is separated from the sleeve collapses into a hemispherical shape on the conveying mechanism 40, so that it can fully contact the air and dissipate heat rapidly. Thereby, even if the conveying mechanism 40 has a short length, the cooling can be completed at a short distance, and the packaging does not stick to each other. The particulate material B formed after cooling is also hemispherical, so that not only the particles are intact and beautiful, but also have fewer corners and can have a larger packing density after packaging.
