Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of material mixing, specifically relating to a material mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Material mixing devices are used to mix two or more different materials, and are widely used in various industries. Current material mixing devices come in various structures, but several problems exist. First, the conveying methods and mixing mechanisms of current mixing devices are complex, resulting in high production and maintenance costs. Second, highly enclosed mixing devices are inconvenient for feeding and unloading. Furthermore, the power components of their mixing mechanisms, such as stirring and vibrating mechanisms, are located within a closed mixing chamber. The mixing environment typically generates dust from the mixture or materials, which affects the lifespan of these power components. Conversely, while poorly enclosed mixing devices offer convenient feeding and unloading, the poor sealing allows mixtures or materials to overflow during the mixing process, affecting the cleanliness of the working environment and wasting materials and mixtures. Third, the unloading process of current mixing devices is generally cumbersome and complex, increasing labor and time costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a material mixing device with a simple structure and high sealing performance.

[0004] The present invention includes a bundled cylinder, a material hopper, and a material hopper moving device. The bundled cylinder is provided with a sliding groove penetrating the cylinder wall. The material hopper includes a hopper body, a hopper ring, and a drive rod connected in sequence. The hopper ring is in close sliding fit with the inner wall of the bundled cylinder. One end of the drive rod is fixedly connected to the hopper ring, and the other end extends from the sliding groove to the outside of the bundled cylinder and is connected to the material hopper moving device. The hopper ring is also provided with a sealing plate covering the sliding groove.

[0005] Furthermore, the sliding groove is arranged in a straight line along the axis of the bundled tube, and the sliding groove extends to one end of the bundled tube. The material bag moving device can drive the material bag to detach from the bundled tube from the end of the sliding groove.

[0006] The present invention also includes a receiving hopper disposed at one end of the bundled cylinder near the sliding groove, wherein the opening of the receiving hopper is disposed facing the end of the bundled cylinder, and the opening size of the receiving hopper is larger than the ring diameter of the material sac ring.

[0007] Furthermore, the hopper is made of a soft material, and a top rod is provided inside the hopper facing the hopper.

[0008] Furthermore, a disc-shaped top block is provided at the end of the top rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the receiving hopper is inclined, and an outlet is provided at the lower position of the side wall of the receiving hopper.

[0010] The present invention also includes a receiving hopper moving device that drives the receiving hopper to move linearly along the axis of the bundle cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the sliding groove, drive rod, and sealing plate are arranged in multiple sets symmetrically or in a circular array.

[0012] The present invention also includes a support frame, wherein the bundled tube is fixedly mounted on the support frame, and the material hopper moving device is a linear moving device mounted on the support frame, wherein the output end of the linear moving device is fixedly connected to the drive rod.

[0013] A mixing box is provided on the side of the bundle tube opposite to the opening of the hopper, and a vibrator is provided inside the mixing box.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are that, through the aforementioned arrangement of the material hopper and the material hopper moving device, the material hopper moving device, which drives the material hopper to move or vibrate, is located outside the bundled tube and is not affected by the mixture or its environment. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the material hopper ring and the sealing plate solves the problem of reduced sealing of the bundled tube caused by the need to install a sliding groove penetrating the bundled tube wall when the material hopper moving device is located outside the bundled tube. During the movement of the material hopper, the sealing plate always seals the sliding groove, replenishing the groove opening to maintain the integrity of the bundled tube wall, without affecting the smoothness and stability of the material hopper moving device's movement. Furthermore, the material hopper ring slides and fits snugly against the inner wall of the bundled tube, making the material hopper a movable sealed bottom of the bundled tube, ultimately forming a complete tube wall and movable bottom structure. This ensures a relatively closed state from the opening side of the hopper to the end of the bundled tube, preventing materials and mixtures from flowing out of the hopper and the bundled tube, ensuring a clean and tidy working environment, and avoiding waste of materials and mixtures.

[0025] As attached Figure 1-4As shown, the present invention includes a bundle cylinder 1, a material container 3, and a material container moving device 2. The bundle cylinder 1 provides a relatively enclosed space for the material container 3, preventing the mixture and materials from escaping to the outside when the materials in the material container 3 are mixed. The mixture can be atomized liquid mixed with the materials for humidification, or powdered additives mixed with the materials. The material container 3 is used to hold the materials, while the material container moving device 2 is used to drive the material container 3 to move or vibrate, causing the materials in the material container 3 to tumble and vibrate and mix with the mixture. In the working state, the axis of the bundle cylinder 1 is perpendicular to the ground, and the material container 3 moves up and down along the axis of the bundle cylinder 1, which is the optimal state. In addition, the bundle cylinder 1 and the material container 3 preferably adopt a ring structure, but are not limited to a ring structure; they can also be square or polygonal structures.

[0026] The bundled cylinder 1 is provided with a sliding groove 11 that penetrates the cylinder wall, and the material hopper 3 includes a hopper body 31, a hopper ring 32, and a drive rod 33 connected in sequence. Figure 4 As shown, one side of the hopper 31 is fixedly connected to the ring of the material hopper ring 32, which forms the opening of the hopper 31 for holding materials. The material hopper ring 32 is in close sliding fit with the inner wall of the bundle cylinder 1. One end of the drive rod 33 is fixedly connected to the material hopper ring 32, and the other end extends from the sliding groove 11 to the outside of the bundle cylinder 1 and is connected to the material hopper moving device 2. The material hopper ring 32 is also provided with a sealing plate 34 covering the sliding groove 11.

[0027] By configuring the material hopper 3 and the material hopper moving device 2 as described above, this invention allows the material hopper moving device 2, which drives the material hopper 3 to move or vibrate, to be located outside the bundled cylinder 1, thus avoiding interference from the mixture and its environment. Simultaneously, the arrangement of the material hopper ring 32 and the sealing plate 34 solves the problem of reduced sealing performance of the bundled cylinder 1 caused by the need to install a sliding groove 11 penetrating the wall of the bundled cylinder 1 because the material hopper moving device 2 needs to be located outside the bundled cylinder 1. During the movement, the sealing plate 34 always seals the sliding groove 11, replenishing the opening of the sliding groove 11 to keep the wall of the bundle cylinder 1 intact, and does not affect the smoothness and stability of the material bag moving device 2. At the same time, the material bag ring 32 slides and fits against the inner wall of the bundle cylinder 1, so that the material bag 3 serves as a movable sealed bottom of the bundle cylinder 1, ultimately forming a complete cylinder wall and a movable bottom structure. This ensures a relatively closed state from the opening side of the bag body 31 to the end of the bundle cylinder 1, preventing materials and mixtures from flowing out of the bag body 31 and the bundle cylinder 1. In addition, the bundle cylinder 1 has a variable volume cavity, ensuring a clean and tidy working environment and avoiding waste of materials and mixtures.

[0028] In one embodiment, the sliding groove 11 is preferably arranged linearly along the axis of the bundle cylinder 1. In this case, the material pocket moving device 2 can also be a linear moving device, such as a linear module, a cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder, which can drive the material pocket 3 to move up and down along the axis of the bundle cylinder 1. In this embodiment, the sliding groove 11 extends to one end of the bundle cylinder 1. The material pocket moving device 2 can drive the material pocket 3 to detach from the end of the sliding groove 11 of the bundle cylinder 1, which facilitates adding material into the material pocket 3 and pouring material out of the material pocket 3. Alternatively, material can be added into the material pocket 3 through the top of the bundle cylinder 1, but it is preferable to add mixtures through the bottom of the bundle cylinder 1. Therefore, it is preferable to drive the material pocket 3 to detach from the bundle cylinder 1 by the material pocket moving device 2 to add or pour material out of the material pocket 3.

[0029] Of course, the structure of the sliding groove 11 is not limited to a straight structure. It can also be a spiral structure with the axis of the bundle tube 1. In this case, the sealing plate 34 is also a spiral structure, and the material bucket moving device 2 drives the drive rod 21 to move in a spiral motion.

[0030] In one embodiment, the present invention further includes a receiving hopper 4 disposed at one end of the bundle cylinder 1 near the sliding groove 11. The opening of the receiving hopper 4 is disposed facing the end of the bundle cylinder 1, and the opening size of the receiving hopper 4 is larger than the ring diameter of the material sump ring 32. In this way, the mixed material can be conveniently and quickly received, thereby improving the efficiency of unloading the mixed material.

[0031] In one embodiment, the hopper 31 is made of a soft material. In the embodiment for humidifying the material, the hopper 31 is preferably made of mesh material to improve the humidification effect of the material. In this embodiment, a top rod 41 is provided inside the receiving hopper 4 facing the hopper 31. When the material hopper moving device 2 drives the material hopper 3 to descend to a certain position, the top rod 41 will lift the bottom of the hopper 31 to make the hopper 31 flip. The hopper 31 will form a cone structure, and the mixed material will slide down the cone-shaped hopper 31 into the receiving hopper 4. In this embodiment, by adding only a top rod 41, the material can be unloaded through the operation of the material hopper moving device 2 without the need for additional driving equipment and working process. This expands the function of the present invention while ensuring a simple and reliable structure.

[0032] The top rod 41 is provided with a disc-shaped top block 42 at its end, which can effectively reduce the local pressure of the top rod 41 on the pocket 31 and prevent the top rod 41 from puncturing the pocket 31.

[0033] The bottom surface of the receiving hopper 4 is inclined, and the side wall of the receiving hopper 4 is also provided with an outlet 43 at a low position. After the receiving hopper 4 receives the mixed material, it can drop directly out of the receiving hopper 4 from the outlet 43 so that the mixed material can be transported to the next process.

[0034] In one embodiment, the present invention further includes a receiving hopper moving device 8 that drives the receiving hopper 4 to move linearly along the axis of the bundle cylinder 1. In this embodiment, when the material hopper 3 is inside the bundle cylinder 1, the top rod 41 can abut against the bottom of the hopper body 31. At this time, the receiving hopper 4 can drive the top rod 41 to move back and forth toward the hopper body 31, and the material hopper moving device 2 can drive the material hopper 3 to move back and forth toward the receiving hopper 4. The increased top rod 41 increases the tumbling force of the material in the hopper body 31, thereby improving the mixing effect of the material.

[0035] In one embodiment, the sliding groove 11, drive rod 33, and sealing plate 34 are arranged in multiple sets symmetrically or in a circular array, thereby improving the movement stability and reliability of the material hopper 3. Figure 1-3 As shown, preferably, the sliding groove 11, driving rod 33, and sealing plate 34 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bundle cylinder 1, with two sets on each side. In this case, the material bag moving device 2 preferably adopts a linear module 21 vertically arranged on the support 5. The moving slider of the linear module 21 is connected to a connecting fork 22. One connecting fork 22 is fixedly connected to two driving rods 33 to ensure the moving stability of the material bag 3. In addition, in this embodiment, when the bag body 31 is made of soft material and has a receiving hopper 4 and a top rod 41, multiple sealing plates 34 can prevent the cone-shaped bag body 31 from shifting outward during unloading. During the process of the material bag moving device 2 driving the bag body 31 to rise, the bag body 31 is prevented from shifting to the side of the material bag ring 32 and jamming the bottom of the bundle cylinder 1 due to the limitation of multiple sealing plates 34, thus improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0036] In one embodiment, the present invention further includes a bracket 5 for connecting the bundle cylinder 1, the material hopper moving device 2, the material hopper 3, the receiving hopper 4 and the receiving hopper moving device 8 into a whole, and for facilitating the fixing of their respective relative positions. The bundle cylinder 1 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 5, and the material hopper moving device 2 is a linear moving device mounted on the bracket 5. The output end of the linear moving device is fixedly connected to the drive rod 33.

[0037] In one embodiment, a mixing box 6 is provided on the side of the bundle cylinder 1 opposite to the opening of the hopper 31. A vibrator 7 is provided in the mixing box 6. The vibrator 7 is used to vibrate the mixture in the mixing box 6 into the bundle cylinder 1, and then let it fall into the hopper 31 by gravity to mix with the material. In one embodiment, the mixture can be a humidifying liquid, the vibrator 7 is an atomizer, and the material is a medicinal powder.
