It is multifunctional, offers a wide variety of models, and has extensive applications, boasting advantages such as uniform mixing, no dead zones, and high kneading efficiency. For materials with temperature requirements, a suitable temperature control system can be added for independent operation and high control precision.

[0029] The following detailed, non-limiting description of the technical solution of the present invention, in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings, is provided. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-10The present invention provides a technical solution: a vertical kneader for easy discharge, comprising a crossbeam 1, a lower barrel 5, a base 7, a column 10 and a material holding tank 40. The crossbeam 1 is fixed to the top of the column 10, the base 7 is fixed to the bottom of the column 10, the material holding tank 40 is a container for filling slurry, an infrared liquid level sensor 41 is installed inside the material holding tank 40, a camera 34 is installed in the front part of the bottom surface of the crossbeam 1, a control center 39 is fixed on one side of the column 10, a robotic arm 27 is fixed in the middle of the front of the column 10, the top structure of the robotic arm 27 is hammer-shaped, an upper barrel 2 is fixed on the lower surface of the crossbeam 1, a stirring assembly 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the crossbeam 1 and located inside the upper barrel 2, a lifting assembly 6 is fixedly installed on the base 7 to drive the lifting of the lower barrel 5, a support frame 9 is threadedly connected to both sides of the column 10, a flipping assembly 8 is installed on the support frame 9, and a groove is opened at the front end of the support frame 9.

[0031] The flipping assembly 8 includes a reinforcing ring 4, which is welded to the middle of the outer wall of the lower barrel 5. To prevent deformation of the lower barrel 5, several vibrators are installed inside the reinforcing ring 4. Several adjustment holes 11 are provided on the support frame 9. A mounting base 12 is threaded to the outer side of the support frame 9 located on one side of the kneader. A power assembly is mounted on the mounting base 12. The output shaft of the power assembly is coaxially connected to a flipping output rod 30. A placement port 31 is provided at the end of the flipping output rod 30 away from the power assembly. A positioning hole is provided at the bottom of the 0, and a limit rod 24 is connected to the internal thread of the positioning hole. A limit plate 25 for limiting the limit rod 24 is installed on the outside of the support frame 9. A proximity switch 23 for sensing the limit rod 24 is installed on the mounting base 12. A trunnion 32 is fixed on both sides of the reinforcing ring 4. The trunnion 32 is placed in the groove on the support frame 9 to limit the lower barrel 5. The surface of the trunnion 32 near the flip output rod 30 is square and placed inside the placement opening 31.

[0032] The power assembly includes a handwheel 28 and a gearbox 29 keyed to the output shaft of the handwheel 28. The input end of the gearbox 29 can be equipped with either the handwheel 28 or a motor to enable manual or electric tilting of the lower drum 5. A bearing is mounted on the trunnion 32. When the U-shaped support 14 descends to a certain height, the outer ring of the bearing mounted on the trunnion 32 of the lower drum 5 is embedded in the groove of the support frame 9 to accurately position the lower drum 5. The bearing also supports the tilting of the lower drum 5. The tilting output rod 30 is driven to rotate by the handwheel or motor, which in turn drives the trunnion 32 to rotate, thereby tilting the lower drum 5 and facilitating the emptying of the material inside the lower drum 5.

[0033] The lifting assembly 6 includes a hydraulic cylinder 17, which is fixedly installed on the base 7. The extension end of the hydraulic cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to a lifting box 19. A lifting arm 15 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the lifting box 19. The lifting arm 15 is fixedly connected to a U-shaped support 14. Two sets of parallel guide rails are vertically fixed on the column 10. A slider is slidably connected to the guide rail. The U-shaped support 14 is fixedly connected to the slider. The hydraulic cylinder 17 drives the lifting box 19 to move up and down, which in turn drives the lifting arm 15 to move up and down, thereby driving the U-shaped support 14 to slide up and down along the guide rail, thus realizing the lifting of the lower barrel 5. A guide groove for guiding the lifting arm 15 is provided on the side of the column 10 near the U-shaped support 14.

[0034] A tension spring connecting bolt 18 passes through the rear of the lifting box 19. One end of the tension spring connecting bolt 18 has a small hole, and a counterweight tension spring 16 is connected to the small hole. The other end of the counterweight tension spring 16 is fixedly connected to the base 7 to play a balancing role and prevent the lower bucket 5 from being too heavy, causing it to tilt and affecting the operation of the lifting component 6.

[0035] Both sides of the lower barrel 5 are fixed with ear plates 26. Each ear plate 26 has two positioning holes 33. The top of the U-shaped support 14 is fixed with a positioning pin 13 corresponding to the positioning hole 33. The positioning pin 13 is precisely matched with the positioning hole 33 on the ear plate 26, which can ensure that the lower barrel 5 is stable and does not shake when mixing and kneading materials.

[0036] After the materials are mixed and kneaded, in order to facilitate the pouring out of the materials in the lower barrel 5, the lower barrel 5 needs to be able to rotate more than 90 degrees. Therefore, when the U-shaped support 14 passes the support frame 9 during the descent, the trunnion 32 is embedded in the groove of the support frame 9. The support frame 9 supports the lower barrel 5, so that the four positioning pins 13 are disengaged from the positioning holes 33, and the lower barrel 5 is transferred to the support frame 9 and the flipping component 8.

[0037] The specific working process of driving the lower barrel 5 to rise is as follows: At the beginning, the lower barrel 5 is placed on the support frame 9. The hydraulic cylinder 17 drives the lifting box 19 to rise, and drives the lifting arm 15 to rise, thereby driving the U-shaped support 14 to move upward. When the U-shaped support 14 moves to a certain height, the trunnion 32 is located in the groove of the U-shaped support 14. The U-shaped support 14 continues to move upward, supporting the lower barrel 5 and driving the lower barrel 5 to move upward, so that the lower barrel 5 is sealed and connected to the upper barrel 2.

[0038] The specific working process of driving the lower barrel 5 to descend is as follows: the hydraulic cylinder 17 drives the lifting box 19 to descend, drives the lifting arm 15 to descend, and drives the U-shaped support 14 to move downward along the slide rail. When the U-shaped support 14 descends to a certain height, the trunnions 32 on both sides of the lower barrel 5 enter the groove of the support frame 9. The support frame 9 supports the lower barrel 5, and then the slurry in the lower barrel 5 is poured out by the flipping component 8.

[0039] The mixing assembly 3 includes a hydraulic motor 20, which is fixedly connected to the top of the crossbeam 1. The output end of the hydraulic motor 20 is coaxially connected to a gearbox assembly. The other end of the gearbox assembly is fixedly connected to a near-center low-speed paddle 43 and a far-center paddle 42. The near-center low-speed paddle 43 and the far-center paddle 42 adopt a dual-axis planetary operation, which can knead without dead angles, achieve small gap shearing and kneading, and provide strong shearing force and kneading effect instantly, resulting in high mixing efficiency. The far-center paddle can play a wall scraping role. It is equipped with a mechanical seal with good sealing effect, high vacuum degree, and can separate the barrel and paddle, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance, and solves the problem of high viscosity materials climbing and piling up in the mixing process.

[0040] A fall prevention bar 22 is fixedly installed on one side of the column 10. One end of the fall prevention bar 22 is connected to the fall prevention cylinder 21. A fall prevention block is fixed at the bottom of the U-shaped support. The fall prevention bar 22 extends horizontally to support the fall prevention block and prevent the lower barrel 5 from sinking.

[0041] The lower barrel 5 has two layers, with an inner barrel and an outer barrel forming a cavity. An annular jacket 36 is installed in the cavity. A guide pipe 35 is installed on one side of the lower barrel 5. An inlet pipe 37 connected to the top of the guide pipe 35 is fixed on one side of the ear plate 26. The bottom of the guide pipe 35 is connected to the cavity. An outlet pipe 38 is fixed on one side of the ear plate 26 and is connected to the cavity.

[0042] The control center 39 includes an analysis module and a comprehensive module. The analysis module includes a comparison submodule, a position recognition submodule, and a judgment submodule. The analysis module is electrically connected to the camera 34. The comprehensive module includes a display submodule, an alarm submodule, and a control submodule. The display submodule is electrically connected to the infrared liquid level sensor 41. The control submodule is electrically connected to the stirring assembly 3, the reinforcing ring 4, the lifting assembly 6, the tilting assembly 8, the lifting arm 15, the oil cylinder 17, the hydraulic motor 20, the anti-fall oil cylinder 21, the proximity switch 23, the robotic arm 27, and the camera 34.

[0043] Example 1: This example includes the working principle of a vertical kneader:

[0044] The staff installed the support frame 9 in a suitable position on the column 10 through the adjustment hole 11, and installed the gearbox 29 on the mounting base 12 in a suitable position on the column through the adjustment hole 11. By adjusting the position of the mounting base 12 and the support frame 9, the trunnion 32 can better cooperate with the placement port 31 of the flipping output rod 30, so that the flipping component 8 can better drive the lower barrel 5 to flip.

[0045] The worker inserts one end of the trunnion 32 into the reinforcing ring 4, lifts the lower barrel 5, places the middle of the right trunnion 32 in the groove on the support frame 9, places the square end of the trunnion 32 in the placement opening 31, and places the middle of the left trunnion 32 in the groove on the same side of the support frame 9. The hydraulic cylinder 17 drives the lifting box 19 to rise, and the lifting arm 15 drives the U-shaped support 14 to rise, so that the positioning pin 13 is inserted into the positioning hole 33 accordingly. At the same time, both ends of the reinforcing ring 4 are also placed in the groove in the U-shaped support 14. As the U-shaped support 14 rises, it drives the lower barrel 5 to rise, and the trunnion 32 disengages from the groove of the support frame 9, thus closing the lower barrel 5 and the upper barrel 2.

[0046] After the lower barrel 5 rises to its position, the anti-fall cylinder 21 is activated, and the anti-fall stop bar 22 extends laterally to hold the bottom of the U-shaped support 14, so that the U-shaped support 14 and the lower barrel 5 will not fall back during the stirring process, thus avoiding the occurrence of safety accidents.

[0047] The slurry is fed into the upper tank 2 through the conveying pipe, which is connected to the inside of the upper tank 2. The lower tank 5 is connected to the upper tank 2. The slurry flows into the lower tank 5 along the inner wall of the upper tank 2. After the slurry filling is completed, the stirring assembly 3 is started and the slurry begins to be processed. Cooling water enters the guide pipe 35 from the water inlet pipe 37 and enters the cavity from the bottom of the guide pipe 35. The cooling water fills the entire cavity along the annular jacket 36 to cool the slurry in the lower tank and prevent the temperature from getting too high. The used cooling water enters the water tank through the water outlet pipe 38 for recycling.

[0048] When the processing is finished, the hydraulic cylinder 17 drives the lifting box 19 to descend, and the lifting arm 15 drives the U-shaped support 14 to descend, thereby driving the lower barrel 5 to descend, realizing the separation of the lower barrel 5 and the upper barrel 2. When the material pouring height is reached, the middle of the right trunnion 32 is placed in the groove on the support frame 9, and the square end of the trunnion 32 is placed in the placement opening 31. The middle of the left trunnion 32 is placed in the groove on the support frame 9 on the same side. The limiting rod 24 contacts the limiting plate 25, and the U-shaped support 14 descends to the bottom and stops.

[0049] Place the material container 40 on the base 7, align it with the material discharge position of the lower container 5, turn the handwheel 28 to drive the gearbox 29 to drive the flipping output rod 30 to rotate, which in turn drives the trunnion 32 to rotate. The placement port 31 on the flipping output rod 30 is tightly engaged with the square surface on one side of the trunnion 32, thereby driving the lower container 5 to rotate. When the lower container 5 rotates to 110°, let it stand still and wait for all the slurry to be poured out.

[0050] After the slurry in the lower tank 5 stops pouring out, the infrared liquid level sensor 41 starts to measure the height of the slurry surface in the holding tank 40 and transmits the value to the control center 39. The display submodule displays the current height of the slurry surface as b. The operator sets the normal height of the slurry surface to a in the control center 39. a is a constant value. The slurry is poured into the holding tank 40. When a = b, it means that all the slurry in the lower tank 5 has been emptied. At this time, the lower tank 5 is driven to return to the center. The proximity switch 23 and the limit rod 24 are used to determine whether the lower tank has returned to the center. The limit rod 24 limits the rotation angle of the limit plate 25 to prevent the lower tank 5 from returning to the center too much.

[0051] This device eliminates the need to place the mixed slurry bucket onto another device to pour it out. By rotating the handwheel 28, the lower bucket 5 can be flipped over, making it convenient to pour out the slurry.

[0052] Example 2: In this example, there is slurry residue in the lower tank 5 during discharge:

[0053] Specifically, after the slurry in the lower tank 5 stops pouring out, the infrared liquid level sensor 41 starts measuring the surface height of the slurry in the holding tank 40 and transmits the value to the control center 39. The display submodule displays the current slurry surface height as b. After comparing it with a by the comparison submodule, it shows b < a, indicating that there is still slurry residue inside the lower tank 5. The following are the steps to resolve the slurry residue:

[0054] In the judgment submodule, the level of residual slurry in the lower barrel 5 is set as low and high. The photo of the inner wall of the lower barrel taken by the camera 34 is compared with the judgment submodule.

[0055] Q1: When the slurry surface height b in the holding tank 40 is less than the set normal slurry surface height a, turn the handwheel 28 to return the lower tank 5 to the horizontal position. The camera 34 takes a picture of the lower tank 5 and transmits it to the control center 39. The comparison submodule of the control center 39 compares the captured picture with the picture stored in the control center 39. The position recognition submodule detects that there is still slurry residue in the lower tank 5 and transmits the data to the display submodule. The staff confirms that there is still slurry residue in the lower tank 5 through the display on the control center 39. Through the comparison by the judgment submodule, the residue level is determined to be... For low-level residue, after rotating the lower bucket 5 by 110° using handwheel 28, the discharge port of the lower bucket 5 forms a 70° angle with the ground. Then, rotate the handwheel 28 again to rotate the lower bucket 5 to 120° and shake the lower bucket 5 back and forth. If slurry is observed to continuously flow out of the lower bucket 5, it indicates that the slurry is simply sticking to the inner surface of the lower bucket 5, affecting the pouring out of the slurry. By shaking the lower bucket 5, the slurry in the lower bucket 5 can flow out. When the surface height b of the slurry reaches a, it means that the problem has been solved. Rotate the lower bucket 5 to a horizontal position using handwheel 28 to return it to its original position.

[0056] Q2: When the slurry surface height b in the holding tank 40 is less than the set normal slurry surface height a, turn the handwheel 28 to make the lower tank 5 swing back and forth between 110° and 120°. If no slurry flows down, turn the handwheel 28 to return the lower tank 5 to the horizontal position. The camera 34 takes a picture of the inside of the lower tank 5 and transmits it to the control center 39. The comparison submodule of the control center 39 compares the captured picture with the picture stored in the control center 39. The position recognition submodule identifies the slurry residue around the inner wall of the lower tank 5 and transmits the data to the display submodule. The staff confirms the slurry residue inside the lower tank 5 through the display on the control center 39. Around the wall, by comparing the sub-modules, the residue level is determined to be high-level residue. At this point, rotate handwheel 28 to return the lower bucket 5 to the horizontal position, and start the vibrator inside the reinforcing ring 4 to make the residual slurry on the inner wall of the lower bucket 5 flow to the bottom of the lower bucket 5 through vibration. Rotate handwheel 28 again to rotate the lower bucket 5 to 110°. If slurry is observed to continuously flow out of the lower bucket 5, it indicates that the slurry has accumulated around the inner wall of the lower bucket 5. By using the vibrator inside the reinforcing ring 4, the slurry can fall to the bottom of the lower bucket 5, which can be processed. When a = b, the problem has been solved. Rotate the lower bucket 5 to the horizontal position using handwheel 28 to return it to its original position.

[0057] Q3: When the slurry surface height b in the holding tank 40 is less than the set normal slurry surface height a, turn the handwheel 28 to make the lower tank 5 swing back and forth between 110° and 120°. If no slurry flows down, turn the handwheel 28 to return the lower tank 5 to the horizontal position. The camera 34 takes a picture of the inside of the lower tank 5 and transmits it to the control center 39. The comparison submodule of the control center 39 compares the captured picture with the picture stored in the control center 39. The position recognition submodule identifies the slurry residue at the bottom of the inner wall of the lower tank 5 and transmits the data to the display submodule. The staff can then view the data through the control center 39. The display indicates that slurry residue remains at the bottom of the inner wall of the lower tank 5. By comparing the results with the sub-module, the residue level is determined to be high-level residue. At this point, the lower tank 5 is held at 110°, and the robotic arm 27 is extended to tap around the bottom of the lower tank 5. During the tapping process, the inner wall of the lower tank 5 vibrates continuously, and the slurry flows out from the lower tank 5 due to the vibration. This indicates that the slurry has accumulated at the bottom of the inner wall of the lower tank 5. The problem can be resolved by tapping the bottom of the lower tank 5 with the robotic arm 27. When a = b, the problem is solved. The lower tank 5 is then rotated to a horizontal position using the handwheel 28 to return it to its original position.

[0058] Q4: When the slurry surface height b in the holding tank 40 is less than the set normal slurry surface height a, turn the handwheel 28 to make the lower tank 5 swing back and forth between 110° and 120°. If no slurry flows down, turn the handwheel 28 to return the lower tank 5 to the horizontal position. The camera 34 takes a picture of the inside of the lower tank 5 and transmits it to the control center 39. The comparison submodule of the control center 39 compares the captured picture with the picture stored in the control center 39. The position recognition submodule detects that there is still slurry residue in the lower tank 5 and transmits the data to the display submodule. The staff confirms that the slurry residue is on the inner wall of the lower tank 5 through the display on the control center 39. After using methods Q2 and Q3, turn the handwheel 28 to return the lower tank 5 to the horizontal position, and the camera 34 automatically focuses on the lower tank. 5. The photo is taken and transmitted to the control center 39. The control center 39 compares the photo and finds that it is the same as the photo of the lower tank 5 taken before the Q2 and Q3 methods are started. At this time, the control center 39 triggers the alarm submodule and transmits the data to the display submodule. The staff can see from the display on the control center 39 that there is still slurry residue in the lower tank 5 and no slurry is flowing down. This means that the slurry is sticking to the inside of the lower tank 5. The staff needs to test the slurry poured into the container 40 in time to determine whether the finished slurry meets the standard. Then, the staff manually scrapes the slurry off the inner wall of the lower tank 5 with a scraper and cleans the inner wall of the lower tank 5. After cleaning, the lower tank 5 is rotated to the horizontal position by handwheel 28 to return it to its original position.

[0059] The device takes photos of the inside of the lower barrel 5 using camera 34 and transmits them to the control center 39. The comparison submodule in the control center 39 compares the photos taken with those stored in the control center 39. The location identification submodule can find the specific location of the slurry residue inside the lower barrel 5. Based on the location of the residue, the staff can take different measures to solve the problem, which facilitates the feeding of the kneader.
