[0056] It may be understood that, referring to FIGS. 1 to 6 and FIG. 9, a twin-screw extrusion device according to an embodiment of a first aspect of the present disclosure comprises a barrel 100 and a twin-screw mechanism 200. The twin-screw mechanism 200 comprises a first screw 210, a second screw 220 and a drive assembly. The first screw 210 and the second screw 220 are both rotatably connected to the barrel 100, the first screw 210 is engaged with the second screw 220. The drive assembly comprises a plurality of idler gears 420 and two mutually engaged elliptical gears 410, one of the elliptical gears 410 is fixedly connected to the first screw 210, the other elliptical gear 410 synchronously rotates with one of the idler gears 420, the plurality of idler gears 420 are in transmission connection, and the last idler gear 420 is fixedly connected to the second screw 220, so that the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 rotate in the same direction. The first screw 210 rotates at a constant speed, a rotation speed of the first screw 210 is .sub.1=N, an eccentricity of each of the elliptical gears 410 is k, 0<k<0.8, an included angle between a connecting line of the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 and a long axis of each of the elliptical gears 410 is , and a rotation speed of the second screw 220 is .sub.2, satisfying

[00015] $_{2} = \frac{(1 - k^{2}) N}{1 - 2 k \cos + k^{2}} .$

[0057] The first screw 210 and the second screw 220 are both rotatably connected to the barrel 100, the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 are engaged with each other, one of the elliptical gears 410 is fixedly connected to the first screw 210, the other elliptical gear 410 rotates synchronously with one of the idler gears 420, the plurality of idler gears 420 are in transmission connection, the last idler gear 420 is fixedly connected to the second screw 220, and the elliptical gear 410 connected to the first screw 210 is driven to rotate to drive the idler gear 420 to rotate, thereby driving another elliptical gear 410 to rotate, so that the first screw 210 rotates at a constant speed, and a rotation speed of the second screw 220 changes periodically over time. The rotation speed of the first screw 210 is set to be .sub.1=N, the eccentricity of each of the elliptical gears 410 is set to be k, 0<k<0.8, the included angle between the connecting line of the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 and the long axis of each of the elliptical gears 410 is set to be , 0360, and the rotation speed of the second screw 220 is set to be .sub.2, satisfying

[00016] $_{2} = \frac{(1 - k^{2}) N}{1 - 2 k \cos + k^{2}},$

so that a screw channel volume between the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 undergoes periodic compression and expansion, the velocity field undergoes periodic transient disturbances and the processed material interface undergoes reorientation and stretching, enhancing the melting, mixing and exhausting efficiency, accelerating the melting process of the materials, improving the melting, plasticizing and mixing effects of the materials, and improving the production quality.

[0059] The idler gears 420 are in transmission connection, two adjacent idler gears 420 can be engaged or can also rotate coaxially, the last idler gear 420 refers to the last idler gear 420 in a plurality of idler gear transmission chains, and a rotation direction of the last idler gear 420 is the same as that of the first screw 210. The number of teeth of the two elliptical gears 410 is equal, so that the rotation speed of the second screw 220 can periodically change over time, thereby improving the mixing efficiency of the materials. In addition, the elliptical gears 410 can be driven by an electric motor, a pneumatic motor and a hydraulic motor. Details are not described herein again.

[0060] Further, referring to FIG. 9, the larger the eccentricity k of the elliptical gear, the larger the amplitude of the transmission ratio between the first screw 210 and the second screw 220, that is, the eccentricity k of the elliptical gear 410 is proportional to the amplitude of the transmission ratio between the first screw 210 and the second screw 220.

[0083] By defining the four non-circular curve arc equations of S.sub.23, S.sub.45, S.sub.67 and S.sub.89 of the second screw 220, the second screw 220 can keep engaged with the first screw 210 when rotating with the first screw 210, so that the self-cleaning effect of the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 is improved, the dispersion and mixing effect of materials can be improved, and the production quality is improved.

[0084] It may be understood that, referring to FIGS. 1-2, along an axial direction of the first screw 210, the barrel 100 is sequentially provided with a conveying section 110, a melting section 120, an exhaust section 130 and a mixing extrusion section 140. The conveying section 110 is provided with a feed inlet 111, the exhaust section 130 is provided with an exhaust outlet 131, and the mixing extrusion section 140 is provided with a discharge outlet 141. The materials are input from the feed inlet 111 to enable the materials to enter the conveying section 110, then the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 drive the material conveying to enable the materials to enter the melting section 120 to enable the materials to be melted and to enable the materials to be mixed together, then the materials enter the exhaust section 130 to enable the exhaust gas to be discharged from the exhaust outlet 131, and the materials enter the mixing extrusion section 140 to enable the materials to be output from the discharge outlet 141, so that the melting, mixing and exhaust efficiency is enhanced.

[0085] It may be understood that, referring to FIGS. 1-2, both an outer diameter of the first screw 210 and an outer diameter of the second screw 220 are tangent to an inner wall of the barrel 100. By arranging the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 to be tangent to the inner wall of the barrel 100, the extrusion and stretching effects of the materials in the flow channel 300 can be increased, greater disturbance and mixing effects are brought, and the extrusion efficiency of the materials is improved.

[0086] It may be understood that, referring to FIGS. 1-2 and 13, a processing method for a twin-screw extrusion device according to an embodiment of a second aspect of the present disclosure comprising the twin-screw extrusion device according to an embodiment of a first aspect of the present disclosure comprises: [0087] step S100: materials are added; [0088] step S200: the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 rotate in the same direction, the first screw 210 rotates at a constant speed, the rotation speed of the second screw 220 periodically changes over time, and the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 cooperate to convey the materials; [0089] step S300: the materials are melted by external heating and the heat generated by the rotation of the first screw 210 and the second screw 220, so that the materials form a melt; and [0090] step S400: the barrel 100, the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 cooperate to extrude and stretch the materials, and drive the materials to be extruded and molded from the discharge outlet 141.

[0091] The materials are fed into the barrel 100, the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 are driven to rotate in the same direction, the first screw 210 rotates at a constant speed, the rotation speed of the second screw 220 changes periodically with time, and the transmission ratio between the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 changes periodically with time, so that the volume in the flow channel 300 changes periodically, and the materials can be driven to be conveyed. The materials are melted by an external heating element and the heat generated by the rotational friction between the first screw 210 and the second screw 220, so that the materials form a melt, and the materials can be extruded and stretched in the flow channel 300 to improve the dispersion and mixing effect of the materials, and then the barrel 100, the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 cooperate to drive the materials to be extruded from the discharge outlet 141. By introducing the extrusion and stretching effects of compression and expansion and re-compression and re-expansion generated by the flow channel 300, the periodic transient disturbance of a velocity field and the stretching and re-orientation effects in the material mixing and dispersing process, the melting and mixing effect and devolatilization efficiency are enhanced, the first screw 210 and the second screw 220 can still be engaged and rotated with each other under the condition of variable rotation speed ratio, and combined with the periodic pulsation effect, the self-cleaning effect is more effectively achieved.

[0092] It should be noted that the external heating element may be a heating mechanism such as an electric heating wire or an electric heating coil, which is convenient for heating and melting the materials.

[0093] The embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, however, the present disclosure is not limited to the foregoing embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of those of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the gist of the present disclosure.
