The main part of the pin screw is
an ordinary screw, the pin can be set in the melting section of the
screw or the drop groove of the metering section or the smooth
cylindrical surface without screw grooves at the end of the metering
section. The pins are arranged in a certain arrangement, and the density
and quantity can be varied. The cylindrical pin is formed by assembling
the pin into the hole of the screw; the square or diamond-shaped pin is
formed by milling the pin directly on the screw. If these pins are set
in the melting zone, the pins can break the solid bed, disrupt the
two-phase flow, stir the solid and liquid phases together, increase the
contact area between the undissolved solid phase fragments and the
contained materials, and promote Melting. If the pin is set in the melt
conveying area, its main function is to divide the stream, increase the
interface, change the direction of the stream, and rearrange the stream.
Split and merge multiple times, change the flow direction, and
homogenize the melt composition and temperature. The mixing section is
an inwardly slotted structure set at the end of the homogenizing section
of the ordinary screw, and its outer diameter is equal to the outer
diameter of the screw. The groove is divided into several groups, and
between each group is the confluence area of materials. The material is
divided by the groove, and then meets in the confluence area, and then
divides and converges. The principle is similar to the pin type. The
characteristic of the separate screw is that in addition to the original
screw pattern (called the main screw) on the melting section, a thread
(called the additional thread) is also added. Its outer diameter is
slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the main thread. The lead is
different, the secondary thread starts from the end of the feeding
section (and is connected with the feeding section here), and after
several threads, it gradually intersects with the main thread of the
homogenization section. The screw groove depth and thread lead of this
kind of screw are gradually changed from the feeding section to the end
of homogenization. That is, the thread lead gradually narrows from the
width, and the groove depth gradually becomes shallower from the depth,
which can maximize the compression of the material.
