Definitions
- the present invention relates to a connection tube assembly for an extruder and an extruder.
- components made of fiber-reinforced plastics are used for many purposes. Compared to metal parts, components made of fiber-reinforced plastics are characterized by a large number of advantages, such as weight savings, corrosion resistance and failure reliability, and are therefore increasingly used in industry and research.
- the essential components of fiber-reinforced plastics are a matrix system made of plastic in which reinforcing fibers, for example based on glass, carbon, aramid or nylon, are embedded.
- Extruders can be used to manufacture fiber-reinforced components.
- solid to viscous, hardenable masses are pressed continuously under pressure from a shaping opening, also known as a nozzle, die or mouthpiece. This results in bodies with the cross-section of the opening, called extrudate, of theoretically any length.
- fibers such as glass fibers, for example, are continuously metered into a main stream of plastic conveyed through the extruder via an auxiliary connection of the extruder.
- the auxiliary connection is usually connected by means of a connecting pipe to a dosing scale for dosing and conveying the fibers as an additive.
- the connecting pipe is a downpipe and is oriented parallel to the direction of gravity.
- the dosing weigher has a conveying section oriented perpendicularly to the direction of gravity, by means of which a continuous product flow of the fibers is conveyed into the connecting pipe.
- DE 10 2013 212 167 A1 discloses a device and a method for introducing fibers into an extruder.
- DE 10 2007 061 620 A1 discloses a method for producing agglomerate-free natural and synthetic fiber-reinforced plastics and thermoplastic semi-finished products by direct processing of endless fibers.
- WO 2009/099920 A2 discloses plastic composites using recycled carpet waste and systems and methods for recycling carpet waste.
- DE 102 01 869 A1 discloses a feeding device for shavings and short-cut fibers.
- the terms “have”, “have”, “comprise” or “include” or any grammatical deviations thereof are used in a non-exclusive manner. Accordingly, these terms can refer both to situations in which, apart from the feature introduced by these terms, no further features are present, or to situations in which one or more further features are present.
- the phrase “A has B,” “A has B,” “A includes B,” or “A includes B” can both refer to the situation in which there is no other element in A other than B (i.e. to a situation in which A consists exclusively of B), as well as to the situation in which, in addition to B, there are one or more other elements in A, e.g. element e, elements C and D or even other elements .
- a connecting tube assembly for an extruder includes a connecting tube.
- the connection pipe is designed for connection to a metering conveyor and a side feed of the extruder.
- the connecting tube defines a longitudinal axis.
- the connecting pipe assembly further includes a driving device. The drive device is designed to rotate the connecting tube about the longitudinal axis.
- the connecting tube when connected, allows a supply of a solid additive from a metering conveyor to a side feed of the extruder. Due to the rotational movement of the connecting tube caused by the drive device, the additive flow conveyed through the connecting tube causes the additive to reach the inner wall of the connecting tube on all sides and thus detaches additive adhering to it through this contact. With this, a solid layer of an additive such as glass fibers can be prevented from forming on the inner wall of the connecting pipe. In other words, a kind of self-cleaning is realized by the rotary movement of the connecting pipe. This means that the additive is metered more evenly into the main flow conveyed in the extruder.
- such a connecting tube assembly can also be retrofitted in existing systems or extruders.
- the connecting tube may have a polygonal, square, triangular, elliptical or circular cross-section. Accordingly, the connecting pipe can in principle have any cross-sectional shape. A circular cross-section is preferred, however, since this more clearly expresses the previously described self-cleaning effect in comparison to an angular configuration.
- the connecting pipe can have a length which is at least a factor of 5 and preferably at least a factor of 8 greater than a diameter of the pipe. Accordingly, the connecting pipe also allows the additive to be conveyed over longer distances.
- the connecting tube can be made at least partially of metal. This makes the connecting tube suitable for many types of additives.
- the drive device can be designed to rotate the connecting tube at 0.5 revolutions per minute to 20 revolutions per minute, preferably 1 revolutions per minute to 10 revolutions and even more preferably 2 revolutions per minute to 5 revolutions per minute. Accordingly, the self-cleaning effect described above is achieved with comparatively low speeds, so that this can also be achieved with comparatively little energy expenditure.
- the drive device can be configured to rotate the connecting tube continuously. In this way, the dosing of the additive to the main flow conveyed in the extruder and the previously described self-cleaning effect are evenly distributed.
- the connecting tube may have an output gear.
- the drive device can have a drive wheel.
- the drive gear and the driven gear may be rotationally connected. This allows the connecting tube to be turned particularly effectively.
- the driven gear may be arranged on an outer surface of the connection pipe.
- the connecting pipe can thus be connected to the drive device in a particularly simple manner.
- the connecting tube assembly may further include a housing.
- the housing can at least partially and preferably completely surround the driven wheel and the drive wheel.
- Such a housing can therefore be prescribed for occupational safety reasons, but is not a mandatory component for the function of the connecting tube assembly, but rather is optional.
- the drive device can have a motor.
- the connecting tube can be driven to rotate in a particularly simple and effective manner.
- an extruder in a further aspect, includes a metering conveyor, a side feeder, and a connecting tube assembly according to any of the embodiments set forth above or detailed below.
- the connecting tube is connected to the metering conveyor and the side feeder of the extruder.
- the connecting pipe can be arranged essentially parallel to the direction of gravity.
- the connecting pipe can thus be designed as a type of downpipe that causes the conveyance of an additive exclusively by means of gravity and without a conveying device of its own.
- the dosing delivery device can be designed for the continuous delivery of an additive stream of a solid additive.
- the additive can thus be metered evenly into the extrusion mass.
- the dosing conveyor device can be designed for the continuous conveyance of glass fibers. Such glass fibers tend to accumulate on an inner wall of the connecting tube due to electrostatic charging. However, the rotating movement of the connecting pipe achieves the previously described self-cleaning effect, so that there are no more deposits in the connecting pipe or in other places.
- the dosing conveyor device can have a scale for weighing a solid additive and a screw conveyor for conveying the additive. In this way, an exact dosing of the additive can be realized.

The term is not limited to any specific or adapted meaning. In particular, the term may refer, without limitation, to a machine for making molded articles from thermoplastic material. Extruders are conveying devices that, based on the functional principle of the Archimedean screw, press solid to viscous masses evenly out of a shaping opening, also known as a nozzle, die or mouthpiece, under high pressure and high temperature.

- the output gear 138 and the drive gear 146 can alternatively be rotationally connected by means of a V-belt or the like.
- the drive device 142 is configured to rotate the connecting tube 130 at 0.5 rpm to 20 rpm, preferably 1 rpm to 10 rpm, and more preferably 2 rpm to 5 rpm, such as 3 rpm .
- the drive device 142 is designed to rotate the connecting pipe 130 continuously.
- the extruder 110 is used to manufacture a component.
- an extruding mass is conveyed in the extruder cylinder 112 and exits as an extrudate at the nozzle opening of the extruder 110 .
- an additive in the form of glass fibers is metered into the extrusion mass.
- a predetermined quantity of glass fibers is weighed out by means of the scales 122 of the metering conveyor device 118 and transported continuously into the connecting pipe 130 by means of the screw conveyor 124 of the metering conveyor device 118 .
- the predetermined quantity and the conveying speed of the glass fibers depend on the recipe for the component to be manufactured and the process parameters. There the glass fibers fall through the connecting tube 130 due to gravity and thus reach the side feeder 126. This conveys the additive (glass fibers) that has fallen through the connecting tube 130 by means of its screw conveyors (over or through the auxiliary feed connection into the extruder.
- the glass fibers get over the side feeder 126 and the secondary feed connection of the extruder 110 to the extruder mass, where the glass fibers are mixed with it.
- the transition from the metering conveyor device 118 oriented perpendicularly to the direction of gravity 120 or horizontally to the connecting pipe 130 oriented vertically or parallel to the direction of gravity 120 can occur due to electrostatic charging deposits the glass fibers on one side on the inner wall of the connecting pipe 130 and, if necessary, loosen them as clumps or glass fiber mats.
- the drive device 142 continuously drives the connecting pipe 130 to rotate at a speed of, for example, 2 to 3 revolutions per minute about the longitudinal axis 132.
- the glass fibers are conveyed along the inner wall of the connecting pipe 130 on all sides and may detach adhering glass fibers before they can accumulate to form a larger accumulation, film or glass fiber mat. A continuous and uniform supply of the glass fibers to the extrusion mass in the extruder 110 is thus made possible.
