Definitions

  • This invention relates to an apparatus for the compression of plastic masses more particularly in extrusion presses.
  • the apparatus comprises a central body of conical spiral shape, which is moved eccentrically and parallel to itself within a chamber in the shape of a conical screw.
  • the movement performed by the central body is only a circular movement of its axis parallel to itself, so as to displace the turns of the conical spiral of the inner element within the turns of the conical spiral of the stationary outer element, thereby gradually displacing the line of contact of the various turns over the full quadrant.
  • the desired compression is of course determined by the axial extent of the steps of the helices and the output of the machine by the pitch of the spiral.
  • a baclrflow of material from the outlet towards the inlet is impossible, since each turn of the inner element contacts along a line parallel to the axis of said inner element with the corresponding turn cf the outer element.
  • the inner and outer conical spirals are given a pitch gradually decreasing from the inlet towards the outlet end.
  • the pitch of the spiral may increase from the inlet towards the outlet, thereby gradually increasing the section of the chamber between the two screws.
  • the apparatus is either heated or cooled, depending upon the nature of the material treated.
  • Figure 1 is an axial view of the inner conical helix
  • Figure 2 is an axial section of the outer conical helix
  • Figure 3 is a sectional View of the assembled apparatus with the members adapted to impart the above described movement to the inner and outer element, respectively.
  • Fig. 4 is a partial section of Fig. 3 on line IV-IV.
  • l denotes the inner conical helix and 2 the outer casing of the apparatus in which the outer conical helix 3 is formed, having on each winding the same pitch as the inner helix I, but of a larger diameter, the difference 3a between the two diameters being twice the eccentricity of the movement of the element I with respect to the element 2.
  • the inner helix I is in the position in which its turns are in contact with those of the outer helix 2 along a stepped line (shown underneath the axis in the section plane in which the gure is drawn) whilst in the diametrically opposed position there is the largest section of the chamber C formed between the turns of the two elements I and 2;
  • the inner element I has a journal 4 the axis of which is indicated by X--X and on which the worm wheelV with an eccentric axis Y-Y is mounted through a co-axial bushing 5, and receives motion through an endless screw 1, Figi 4.
  • the worm screw 6 is guided through the interposition of rollers 8 on the rings 9 and the axial thrust is supported by the disc I with the interposition of balls I I. Due to the eccentricity of the worm wheel 6 and its annular supports II with respect to the journal 4 on which said wheel is mounted, a movement parallel to itself is imparted to the journal 4, resulting in the displacement of its axis X-X about the axis Y-Y which brings about a similar movement of the inner conical helixfrI with respect to the element 2.
  • the material is fed into the inlet I2 and discharged through the drawing-die I3 formed in the casing 2 in its front portion, strongly compressed because of the rapid reduction of the helical chamber through which it is fed.
  • the apparatus is of extreme simplicity, since it consists of only three parts which are of simple construction and easily dis-assembled.
  • Apparatus for mixing and compressing plastic masses comprising an inner spiral member mountedV on a cylindrical journal, an outer spiral member having its turns equalling in axial extent associated turns of said inner member, the diameter of the turns of the inner member dii"- fering from the diameter of the associated 'turns 45 of the outer member by a constant value, means for holding the axis of said inner member parallel to the axis of the outer member, means for revolving the axis of said inner member about the axis of said outer member, so that each turn of the inner member constantly contacts along a line parallel to the axis of said member with the associated turn of the outer member, means for preventing rotation of the inner member about its own axis, the turns of said inner member coming progressively into contact with those of the outer member, thereby pushing forward and compressing the material entering at the outer periphery of the spiral of the outer member and issuing centrally at the front end thereof.
  • Apparatus for mixing and compressing plas; tic masses comprising an outer spiral member, a ring xed to said outer spiral member, a worm wheel mounted on said ring through the interposition of rollers, said worm wheel being eccentrically bored, means for actuating said worm wheel, a bush in the eccentric bore in said worm wheel, a cylindrical journal in said bush, an inner spiral member xed to said cylindrical pivot and having its turns equalling in axial extent the associated turns of said outer member, the diameter of the turns of the inner member diiering from the diameter of the associated turns of the outer member by a constant value, each turn of the inner member constantly contacting along a line parallel to the axis of said inner member with the associated turn of the outer member, means for preventing rotation of the inner member about its axis.
