[0022] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this application and are used together with the embodiments of the present invention to illustrate the principles of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a homogenization tank, including a mixing tank 100 and a powder removal component 200. The mixing tank 100 includes a tank body 110 and a stirring element. The stirring element is connected to the tank body 110, and the stirring end of the stirring element is built into the tank body 110 to form a mixing zone. The powder removal component 200 includes multiple air pipes 210 and an air source. The multiple air pipes 210 are fixedly connected to the tank body 110. One end of the multiple air pipes 210 crosses the mixing zone and is spaced apart from the stirring end. The other end of the multiple air pipes 210 is connected to the air source. The air pipes 210 are provided with through holes 211 with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the material.

[0024] During implementation, the material in the mixing tank 100 can be stirred by the set stirring components. The mutual friction between the material particles will generate powder. The material flow forms a stirring zone. Multiple air pipes 210 are passed through the stirring zone and are set at intervals with the stirring end. Under the action of the air source, an airflow can be formed from the tank 110 outward along the air pipes 210, thereby sucking out the powder adhering to the material, so as to achieve the function of removing powder and improving the quality of the material.

[0025] The mixing tank 100 in this embodiment can agitate materials to ensure uniform mixing of various materials. The mixing tank 100 includes a tank body 110 and an agitator. The agitator is connected to the tank body 110, and the agitator end is built into the tank body 110 to form a mixing zone. It should be noted that the air pipe 210 has a through hole 211 with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the material. That is, the diameter of the through hole 211 is smaller than the length or width of the material to ensure that the material does not fall into the through hole 211.

[0026] In one embodiment, the agitator includes a rotating sleeve 120, a screw 130, and multiple agitator rods 140. The rotating sleeve 120 is vertically arranged and built into the tank 110 and rotatably connected to the tank 110. The screw 130 is coaxially built into the rotating sleeve 120 and rotatably connected to the tank 110, and rotates in the opposite direction to the rotating sleeve 120. A material extrusion gap is formed between the screw 130 and the rotating sleeve 120 to transport the material at the bottom of the tank 110 to the top of the tank 110. The multiple agitator rods 140 are agitation ends and are fixedly installed on the side wall of the rotating sleeve 120. The area covered by the material moved by the multiple agitator rods 140 is the agitation zone.

[0027] The screw 130 and the rotating sleeve 120 work together to circulate the material at the bottom and top of the tank 110. At the same time, the rotation of multiple stirring rods 140 can drive the material to move circumferentially, shortening the stirring time and increasing the production capacity.

[0028] To facilitate the synchronous reverse rotation between the drive screw 130 and the rotating sleeve 120, this embodiment also includes a drive component 150. The drive component 150 is connected to the tank body 110, and the output end of the drive component 150 is connected to the rotating sleeve 120 and the screw 130 to drive the rotating sleeve 120 and the screw 130 to rotate.

[0029] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the drive unit 150 includes a motor 151, a first gear 152, a second gear 153, a gear ring 154, and multiple tie rods 155. The motor 151 is fixedly connected to the tank body 110, and the output end of the motor 151 is connected to the screw 130. The first gear 152 is sleeved on the top end of the screw 130. The second gear 153 is rotatably connected to the tank body 110 and meshes with the first gear 152. The gear ring 154 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating sleeve 120 via multiple tie rods 155. The inner ring of the gear ring 154 meshes with the second gear 153 and is spaced apart from the first gear 152.

[0030] The device may also include a speed reducer. For example, the drive unit 150 may include a drive shaft 156, two bevel gears 157, a third gear 158, and a fourth gear 159. The drive shaft 156 is rotatably connected to the tank body 110. The output end of the motor 151 is connected to one of the bevel gears 157. The two bevel gears 157 are meshed together. The other bevel gear 157 and the third gear 158 are both mounted on the drive shaft 156. The fourth gear 159 is mounted on the screw 130. The third gear 158 and the fourth gear 159 are meshed together.

[0031] To facilitate the installation of the aforementioned drive component 150, a partition 112 is also included. The partition 112 is installed on the top of the tank body 110 and forms an installation cavity between the partition 112 and the tank body 110. The drive component 150 is installed in the installation cavity.

[0033] The powder removal component 200 in this embodiment includes multiple air pipes 210 and an air source. The multiple air pipes 210 are fixedly connected to the tank 110. One end of the multiple air pipes 210 crosses the stirring area and is spaced apart from the stirring end. The other end of the multiple air pipes 210 is connected to the air source. The air pipes 210 are provided with through holes 211 with a diameter smaller than the diameter of the material. The multiple air pipes 210 are arranged horizontally and parallel to each other, and the multiple air pipes 210 are arranged in a matrix array in a vertical plane.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the air tube 210 is provided with a plurality of through holes 211, which form a plurality of through hole groups arranged sequentially along the length of the air tube 210. Each through hole group includes two through holes 211 located on both sides of the top of the air tube 210 and two through holes 211 located on both sides of the bottom of the air tube 210. Material located on the through holes 211 will be pushed by adjacent material, thus preventing the through holes 211 from being blocked.

[0035] In one embodiment, the air source includes a fan, an air inlet pipe, an air outlet pipe, a filter screen, and a collection box. The fan is fixedly connected to the tank 110. One end of the fan is connected to the air pipe 210 via the air inlet pipe, and the other end of the fan is connected to the air outlet pipe. The filter screen is built into the air inlet pipe. A collection port is provided at the bottom of the air inlet pipe on the side of the filter screen near the conduit. The top of the collection box is connected to the collection port.

[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, to further improve the powder removal capability, this embodiment also includes a vibrating screen 300. The bottom of the tank 110 is provided with a first discharge pipe 114, a second discharge pipe 115, a baffle plate 116, and a plug. The top end of the first discharge pipe 114 is connected to the tank 110, and the bottom end of the first discharge pipe 114 extends to the screen surface of the vibrating screen 300. The second discharge pipe 115 is inclined, and its top end is connected to the side wall of the first discharge pipe 114. The baffle plate 116 is connected to the second discharge pipe 114. The pipe 115 is slidably connected, and the insert plate 116 can slide to a first position and a second position. When the insert plate 116 slides to the first position, the insert plate 116 is located outside the first discharge pipe 114, and the tank body 110 is connected to the first discharge pipe 114 and the second discharge pipe 115. The plug seals the second discharge pipe 115. When the insert plate 116 slides to the second position, the insert plate 116 closes the bottom of the first discharge pipe 114, and the tank body 110 is connected to the second discharge pipe 115. The plug is spaced apart from the second discharge pipe 115.

[0037] To prevent the material discharged from the vibrating screen 300 from being incompletely mixed, this embodiment also includes a transfer box 400 and a return nylon 500. The discharge port of the vibrating screen 300 is located above the transfer box 400, the bottom of the return nylon 500 extends to the bottom of the transfer box 400, and the top discharge port of the return nylon 500 is connected to the interior of the tank 110.

[0038] Compared with existing technologies: By setting up a stirring component, the material in the stirring tank 100 can be stirred. The mutual friction between the material particles will generate powder. The material flow forms a stirring zone. Multiple air pipes 210 are passed through the stirring zone and are spaced apart from the stirring end. Under the action of the air source, an airflow can be formed from the tank 110 along the air pipes 210 to the outside, thereby sucking out the powder adhering to the material, so as to achieve the function of removing powder and improving the quality of the material.
