DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The specific implementation of the present disclosure is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific implementation described herein is only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure, and is not used to limit the present disclosure.

[0023] In the present disclosure, unless otherwise stated, "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside of the corresponding structure outline, and "far" and "near" refer to the distance from the corresponding structure. The above-mentioned directional words are only for the convenience of describing the present disclosure, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation of the present disclosure. In addition, it should be noted that the terms used, such as "first" and "second", etc., are used to distinguish one element from another element, and do not have order and importance.

[0024] refer to Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present disclosure provides a mixing device for glass production, including a mixing body 10, a rotating motor 30, a rotating gate 40 and a purging mechanism 50. The mixing body 10 has a feed port 13 and a discharge port. A mixing chamber 101 is formed inside the mixing body 10. The feed port 13 and the discharge port are both connected to the mixing chamber 101. The rotating gate 40 is transmission-connected to the output end of the rotating motor 30. The rotating motor 30 is used to drive the rotating gate 40 to close or open the discharge port (not shown). The purging mechanism 50 is used to purge the upper surface of the rotating gate 40 during the process of the rotating motor 30 driving the rotating gate 40 to open and close.

[0025] Through the above technical solution, the glass raw materials are stirred and mixed in the mixing chamber 101 of the mixing body 10. When the glass raw materials in the mixing chamber 101 need to be unloaded, the rotating motor 30 can drive the rotating gate 40 to rotate. The rotating gate 40 is separated from the feed port 13 of the mixing body 10 during the rotation. At this time, the purge mechanism 50 can purge the upper surface of the rotating gate 40, so as to clean the glass raw materials adhering to the upper surface of the rotating gate 40, so as to avoid or reduce the phenomenon of the glass raw materials being hardened on the rotating gate 40, thereby facilitating the subsequent rotating motor 30 to drive the rotating gate 40 to open and close.

[0026] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, the mixer body 10 also includes a mixer cover 20, which is arranged on the mixer body 10. A stirring mechanism is also arranged in the mixing chamber 101, and the stirring mechanism includes a stirring motor 11 and a stirring blade 12. The stirring motor 11 is used to drive the stirring blade 12 to rotate in the mixing chamber 101 to achieve stirring and mixing of the glass raw materials in the mixing chamber 101.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a plurality of mixer pillars 80 are further provided at the bottom of the mixer body 10 , and the mixer pillars 80 are used to support the mixer body 10 .

[0028] Optionally, in one embodiment provided by the present disclosure, as Figure 1 As shown, the purge mechanism 50 may include a solenoid valve 51 and a purge air pipe 52, the solenoid valve 51 is arranged on the purge air pipe 52 and is used to control the on and off of the purge air pipe 52, and the end of the purge air pipe 52 close to the rotary gate 40 is provided with a purge air nozzle 520 connected to the purge air pipe 52, the purge air nozzle 520 is arranged opposite to the upper surface of the rotary gate 40, and the end of the purge air pipe 52 away from the rotary gate 40 is connected to a compressed air source (not shown). In this way, when it is necessary to purge the upper surface of the rotary gate 40, the solenoid valve 51 can be started, and at this time, the compressed air is blown out from the purge air nozzle 520 through the solenoid valve 51, thereby achieving the purge of the upper surface of the rotary gate 40.

[0029] Here, it should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the purging time of the purging mechanism 50. For example, the purging air nozzle 520 can purge the upper surface of the rotating gate 40 during the process of the rotating gate 40 being opened, or the purging air nozzle 520 can also purge the upper surface of the rotating gate 40 during the process of the rotating gate 40 being closed, or the purging air nozzle 520 can continuously and uninterruptedly purge the upper surface of the rotating gate 40 during the process of the rotating gate 40 being opened to closed, thereby improving the purging effect.

[0030] In order to prevent glass raw materials from entering the purge air pipe 52 and causing blockage of the purge air pipe 52 during the purge air nozzle 520 purging the rotary gate 40, in the present disclosure, a filter net can be further provided in the purge air pipe 52, and the filter net can block the glass raw materials to prevent the glass raw materials from entering the purge air pipe 52.

[0031] Optionally, the purge mechanism 50 further includes a switch valve (not shown), which is disposed on the purge air pipe 52 between the solenoid valve 51 and the compressed air source. By providing a switch valve, and the switch valve is disposed between the solenoid valve 51 and the compressed air source, when the purge mechanism 50 does not need to purge the upper surface of the rotary gate 40, the switch valve can be used to control the on-off of the compressed air source, and the coordination between the solenoid valve 51 and the switch valve can improve the fault tolerance of the compressed air source during use.

[0032] Alternatively, if Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple purge air nozzles 520, and the multiple purge air nozzles 520 are spaced apart along the length direction of the purge air pipe 52, and the distance between the two purge air nozzles 520 that are farthest apart is greater than the rotation radius of the rotary gate 40, so that the purge range of the multiple purge air nozzles 520 can cover the upper surface of the rotary gate 40. Here, it should be noted that, since the rotary gate 40 is opened by rotating during the unloading process, the purge range of the multiple purge air nozzles 520 mentioned above can cover the upper surface of the rotary gate 40, which means that during the rotation of the rotary gate 40, any part of the upper surface of the rotary gate 40 can be purged by the purge air nozzle 520, and there is no purge dead angle.

[0033] Although a purge mechanism 50 is provided near the rotating gate 40, the purge mechanism 50 may not be able to completely blow off the glass raw materials adhered to the rotating gate 40. Therefore, after the rotating motor 30 drives the discharge port of the rotating gate 40, the glass raw materials stuck on the rotating gate 40 may still interfere with the mixing body 10, affecting the opening and closing of the rotating gate 40 driven by the rotating motor 30. Based on this, in order to further facilitate the opening of the rotating gate 40, in an embodiment provided in the present disclosure, optionally, as Figure 1 As shown, the mixing device 1 for glass production may further include an auxiliary driving mechanism 60, which is connected to the rotating gate 40, and is used to apply a driving force to the rotating gate 40 when the rotating motor 30 drives the rotating gate 40 to open. By providing the auxiliary driving mechanism 60, when the rotating motor 30 drives the rotating gate 40 to open, the auxiliary driving mechanism 60 can provide a driving force for the opening of the rotating gate 40, that is, the rotating motor 30 and the auxiliary driving mechanism 60 drive the rotating gate 40 together, so that even if the rotating gate 40 is not opened and closed smoothly due to factors such as the agglomeration of the glass raw materials, the rotating gate 40 is more convenient to open because the driving force driving the rotating gate 40 to rotate is increased.

[0034] Of course, when the rotary motor 30 drives the rotary gate 40 to close, the auxiliary driving mechanism 60 can also provide driving force for the rotation of the rotary gate 40 to facilitate the closing of the rotary gate 40 .

[0035] In an exemplary embodiment provided by the present disclosure, Figure 1 As shown, optionally, the auxiliary driving mechanism 60 can be a cylinder 61, which includes a cylinder body 611 and a piston rod 612, one of which is connected to the mixer body 10, and the other of which is connected to the rotating gate 40.

[0036] In the present disclosure, there is no limitation on the specific installation position of the auxiliary drive mechanism 60. For example, the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 can be directly connected to the mixer body 10, such as Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 is directly mounted on the outer wall of the mixer body 10 , or the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 can also be indirectly connected to the mixer body 10 , that is, the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 is mounted on the frame of the rotating motor 30 .

[0037] In another embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the auxiliary driving mechanism 60 may also be a telescopic rod, one end of which is connected to the rotating gate 40, and the other end of which is connected to the mixer body 10. When the rotating gate 40 needs to be opened, the telescopic rod is retracted, and when the rotating gate 40 needs to be closed, the telescopic rod is extended. It should be noted that the present disclosure does not limit the specific structure and driving method of the auxiliary driving mechanism 60, as long as it can provide a certain driving force for the rotating gate 40 during the opening process of the rotating gate 40.

[0038] In order to improve the purging effect of the purging mechanism 50 on the rotating gate 40, in one embodiment provided in the present disclosure, Figure 2As shown, the mixing device 1 for glass production may further include a controller 70, which is electrically connected to the rotating motor 30 and the purging mechanism 50, respectively. The controller 70 is used to control the purging mechanism 50 to blow air to the rotating gate 40 while the rotating motor 30 drives the rotating gate 40 to open. That is, during the process of opening the rotating gate 40, the purging mechanism 50 starts to purge the rotating gate 40, so that the glass raw materials adhering to the upper surface of the rotating gate 40 can be quickly blown off within the first time of the rotating gate 40 opening, thereby preventing the glass raw materials on the rotating gate 40 from being hardened on the rotating gate 40 due to the volatilization of the internal moisture, thereby affecting the subsequent opening and closing operation of the rotating gate 40. In addition, after the rotating gate 40 is opened, the controller 70 can also control the purging mechanism 50 to stop purging the rotating gate 40, and can save compressed air, thereby reducing the purging cost.

[0039] In order to further facilitate the opening of the rotating gate 40, in another embodiment provided by the present disclosure, as Figure 2 As shown, optionally, the mixing device 1 for glass production may further include a controller 70, which is electrically connected to the rotating motor 30, the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60, respectively. The controller 70 is used to control the purge mechanism 50 to blow air toward the rotating gate 40 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 to apply driving force to the rotating gate 40 while the rotating motor 30 drives the rotating gate 40 to open. That is to say, during the opening process of the rotating gate 40, the purge mechanism 50 purges the rotating gate 40 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 provides a driving force for the opening of the rotating gate 40. On the one hand, the purge mechanism 50 purges the rotating gate 40 throughout the entire process of opening the rotating gate 40, so as to blow off as much glass raw materials adhering to the rotating gate 40 as possible. On the other hand, the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 can provide a certain driving force for the opening of the rotating gate 40. Even if the rotating gate 40 has a problem of poor opening and closing, with the assistance of the auxiliary drive mechanism 60, it is easier to open the rotating gate 40 without the need to open the rotating gate 40 through manual intervention.

[0040] In addition, it should be noted that the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 is not limited to being used during the opening process of the rotating gate 40. For example, the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 can also provide driving force for the rotating gate 40 during the closing process of the rotating gate 40.

[0041] Of course, in the present disclosure, the simultaneous start of the rotating motor 30, the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 can also be achieved by not providing the controller 70. For example, in an embodiment provided in the present disclosure, Figure 3As shown, optionally, the rotating motor 30, the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 can be connected in parallel to the power supply circuit so that the rotating motor 30, the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 are synchronously turned on or off. Since the rotating motor 30, the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 are connected in parallel to the power supply circuit, when the power supply circuit is turned on, the rotating motor 30, the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 are also turned on at the same time. At this time, the rotating motor 30, the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 can operate synchronously, that is, the purpose of achieving the purpose of the purge mechanism 50 synchronously purging the rotating gate 40 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 synchronously driving the rotation of the rotating gate 40 during the process of the rotating motor 30 driving the rotating gate 40 to open or close is achieved.

[0042] Alternatively, in another embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the mixing device 1 for glass production may further include a relay, and the rotating motor 30 is electrically connected to the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 through the relay, and the relay is used to be attracted when the rotating motor 30 drives the rotating gate 40 to open, so that the purge mechanism 50 blows air to the rotating gate 40 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 applies a driving force to the rotating gate 40. By setting the relay, the relay can be attracted after receiving the action of the rotating motor 30 driving the rotating gate 40 to open, so that the purge mechanism 50 is turned on and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 is turned on, so as to realize the linkage between the rotating motor 30 and the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60, thereby realizing the purge of the rotating gate 40 and providing a driving force for the rotation of the rotating gate 40.

[0043] In addition, the opening and closing of the rotating motor 30, the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 can be controlled by the solenoid valve. In the implementation embodiment where the rotating motor 30, the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 are all controlled by the solenoid valve, the purpose of controlling the opening and closing of the rotating motor 30, the purge mechanism 50 and the auxiliary drive mechanism 60 is achieved by controlling the opening and closing of the solenoid valve.

[0044] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings; however, the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, a variety of simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

[0045] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combinations.

[0046] In addition, various embodiments of the present disclosure may be arbitrarily combined, and as long as they do not violate the concept of the present disclosure, they should also be regarded as the contents disclosed by the present disclosure.
