[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] In the present invention, if directions (up, down, left, right, front and back) are described, it is only for the convenience of describing the technical solution of the present invention, and does not indicate or imply that the technical features referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, it cannot be understood as a limitation of the present invention.

[0024] In the present invention, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means more than two, "greater than," "less than," "exceeds," etc. are understood to exclude the number itself; "above," "below," "within," etc. are understood to include the number itself. In the description of the present invention, the use of "first" or "second" is solely for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and is not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, implicitly specifying the number of the indicated technical features, or implicitly specifying the order of the indicated technical features.

[0025] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly defined, terms such as "disposed," "installed," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they may refer to direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; fixed connection or detachable connection or integral molding; mechanical connection or electrical connection or mutual communication; and internal connection between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 As shown, a high-speed mixer of the present invention comprises: Base 1; A container 2 is provided on the base 1, wherein the container 2 has a mixing chamber 21, and an axis of the mixing chamber 21 forms a predetermined angle with the direction of gravity; The central blade device 3 is disposed in the mixing chamber 21 and includes a plurality of first blades 31 pivoting around a first axis; wherein the first blades 31 are close to the bottom of the mixing chamber 21, and the first axis coincides with the central axis of the mixing chamber 21; The eccentric blade device 4 is arranged in the mixing chamber 21 and includes a plurality of second blades 41 pivoting around a second axis; wherein the second blades 41 are close to the top of the mixing chamber 21, and the second axis is parallel to the central axis of the mixing chamber 21 and separated by a predetermined distance.

[0027] With this arrangement, the central blade assembly 3 is positioned near the bottom of the mixing chamber 21, the eccentric blade assembly 4 is positioned near the top of the mixing chamber 21, and the two sets of blades pivot about different axes that are parallel but non-coincident. The mixing chamber 21 is tilted relative to the horizontal plane, creating a complex and varied three-dimensional mixing flow field within the mixing chamber 21. This effectively enhances the flow and shearing of materials in different spatial regions, improving mixing uniformity and efficiency. Compared to conventional solutions with only a central agitator shaft, this achieves full mixing and dispersion of materials in a much shorter time.

[0028] In one embodiment, the central blade assembly 3 includes a pivot 32, to which the plurality of first blades 31 are mounted. The pivot 32 is mounted at the top of the container 2, and the first axis is configured as the central axis of the pivot 32. Furthermore, the central blade assembly 3 is driven to rotate by a main drive motor or a reduction motor disposed at the top of the mixer. Power can be transmitted to the pivot 32 via a coupling, a transmission shaft, or a gear mechanism.

[0029] In one embodiment, the eccentric blade device 4 includes a blade hub 42, with a plurality of second blades 41 mounted on the blade hub 42. The blade hub 42 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the container 2, and the second axis is configured as the central axis of the blade hub 42. By directly disposing a drive motor at the bottom of the container 2, a synchronous belt, chain, or gear set can be used to drive the blade hub 42 to rotate via a transmission shaft; the transmission shaft can be supported by a bearing seat at the bottom of the container 2.

[0030] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, a plurality of the first blades 31 are evenly spaced along the axial direction on the pivot 32, and a plurality of the first blades 31 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the first axis. The first blades 31 are of a long and flat structure, and the two ends extend radially and symmetrically outward along the pivot 32. The end edge of the first blade 31 is provided with an arcuate surface 311. The distribution of the first blades 31 along the axial and circumferential directions effectively increases the force-bearing area and force path of the material, promotes the full flow of the material in various areas of the cavity, significantly improves the uniformity of mixing, and avoids the generation of local dead zones. In addition, the first blade 31 adopts a long and flat structure, and the two ends extend radially and symmetrically outward along the pivot 32, which can generate a larger range of radial thrust inside the mixing chamber 21, so that the material obtains good disturbance and tumbling in both the radial and axial directions, further enhancing the stirring and dispersion effect. The arcuate surface 311 is provided at the end of the first blade 31, which can reduce fluid resistance, optimize material streamlines, reduce energy consumption, and at the same time reduce material retention and adhesion, thereby improving stirring efficiency.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of second blades 41 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction on the blade hub 42, and the second blades 41 are long and flat in structure and a curved portion 411 is provided at the outer end thereof toward the top of the mixing chamber 21, and the projection of the curved portion 411 toward the pivot 32 covers at least a part of the first blades 31, further eliminating the mixing dead angle in the mixing chamber 21, and the material can flow in multiple paths and directions in the chamber, fully avoiding the mixing dead zone caused by traditional single central axis mixing, and improving the uniformity of mixing.

[0032] It should be noted that this high-speed mixer adopts a composite structure with a tilted container 2, a central blade device 3, and an eccentric blade device 4. Through the spatial layout of upper and lower layers and a combination of center and eccentric, the stirring blades can act separately in different spatial areas of the cavity, achieving multi-level and multi-directional material movement. Multiple first blades 31 are evenly spaced axially and circumferentially along the pivot 32. Combined with the long, flat, arc-shaped end structure, they can generate strong radial and axial thrust at the bottom of the mixing chamber 21; multiple second blades 41 are distributed circumferentially along the blade hub 42, and form a disturbance toward the top of the mixing chamber 21 at the top. The outer ends are curved and cover the bottom blade area. The material is subjected to multiple disturbances in the cavity at the same time, such as radial, tangential, and axial disturbances. The shear forces and convection effects in different directions are superimposed, promoting the formation of a complex, three-dimensional flow field, greatly improving the mixing efficiency, and achieving a highly uniform and rapid mixing effect.

[0033] In one embodiment, the predetermined angle is between 25° and 35°. When a certain angle is formed between the axis of the mixing chamber 21 and the direction of gravity, the material not only forms a circular flow in radial and tangential directions during mixing, but is also affected by the gravity component, causing the material to flow in multiple layers along the mixing chamber 21. Compared to the material flow field within a single plane in a traditional horizontal or vertical mixing chamber, this creates a more complex three-dimensional mixing cycle. An angle range of 25° to 35° balances the tumbling effect of the material and the effective volume of the mixing container.

[0034] In one embodiment, the predetermined distance is 0.05 to 0.45 times the radial dimension of the mixing chamber 21 .

[0035] In one embodiment, the mixing chamber 21 is centrally symmetrical, such as cylindrical, and is a closed or semi-closed cavity.

[0036] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 4 As shown, a cover 22 is provided on the top of the container 2 .

[0037] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the apparatus further includes a discharge device 5, which is disposed on the outer wall of the mixing chamber 21, located on the side, bottom, or top of the mixing chamber 21, and is used to discharge the mixed material from the mixing chamber 21. Specifically, the discharge device 5 adopts a discharge valve, such as a ball valve or a gate valve structure, whose valve body is connected to the wall of the mixing chamber 21, and is used to control the discharge of the mixed material, and can realize the functions of opening, closing, and regulating the flow rate.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above specific implementation methods are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not limiting. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should all be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
