Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mixing device technology, and more specifically to a device that utilizes surfactants to promote rapid mixing of liquids. Background Technology

[0002] Surfactants possess a unique amphiphilic structure, enabling them to orient themselves at the surface or interface of a solution, thereby significantly altering the interfacial state. This property makes surfactants widely used in industrial production as emulsifiers, humectants, dispersants, or foaming agents. For example, hydroxysulfonates are a class of anionic surfactants formed by the reaction of a hydroxy alcohol with a sulfonating agent.

[0003] A mixing device is a piece of equipment used to mix two or more different substances together to achieve a desired mixture. This device typically consists of a container and a stirrer. The container holds the substances to be mixed, while the stirrer agitates them to achieve homogenization. The working principle of a mixing device is to utilize the rotational motion of the stirrer to induce convection and diffusion within the container, thereby achieving mixing. The shape and rotational speed of the stirrer can be adjusted as needed to adapt to different mixing requirements. When mixing raw materials, differences in surface tension may hinder uniform integration between different components. Adding a surfactant can address this by reducing surface tension between liquids, thus promoting rapid mixing and better binding of the components, thereby improving mixing efficiency.

[0004] For example, the invention patent with announcement number CN117298920B provides a vibration mixing solid-liquid mixing device. Through the setting of a stirring tank, a rotating drum, a first mixing plate, a second mixing plate, a vibrating extrusion plate, a pressing rod, and a rotating shaft, multiple first mixing plates rotate horizontally and simultaneously perform vertical circular motion to stir the mixture and ensure the mixing effect. However, this device only rotates in the horizontal and vertical directions, and other directions still cannot mix with each other, resulting in a poor mixing effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a device that uses surfactants to promote rapid mixing of liquids, thereby solving the problem that existing mixing devices cannot mix liquids from multiple directions and have poor mixing effects.

[0006] The present invention provides an apparatus for promoting rapid mixing of liquids using surfactants, comprising a mixing cylinder and a mixing mechanism, wherein the mixing cylinder is vertically arranged. The mixing mechanism includes a transmission frame and multiple mixing components.

[0016] Furthermore, the transmission frame also includes a first connecting ring and a second connecting ring, which are coaxially arranged with the mixing cylinder. Both the first and second connecting rings are rotatable around their own axes. The first connecting ring is fixedly disposed on the upper side of the multiple connecting frames, and the second connecting ring is fixedly disposed on the lower side of the multiple connecting frames. A first gear ring is fixedly disposed on the upper side of the first connecting ring, and the first gear ring is coaxially arranged with the first connecting ring.

[0017] The device for promoting rapid mixing of liquids using surfactants also includes a drive mechanism, which includes a first motor fixedly mounted on a mixing cylinder. A first gear is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first motor, and the first gear meshes with a first gear ring.

[0018] Furthermore, a first annular groove and a second annular groove are formed on the inner peripheral wall of the mixing cylinder.

The vertically arranged second partition plates cut the liquid vertically, dividing it into two parts radially along the mixing cylinder, thereby mixing the liquid.

[0025] In other mixing units, both the first and second partition plates divide the liquid into two parts. As the angle between the multiple first partition plates and the horizontal plane gradually increases along the circumference of the mixing cylinder, and the angle between the multiple second partition plates and the vertical plane gradually increases along the circumference of the mixing cylinder, the liquid in the mixing cylinder is cut in multiple directions, which makes the liquid more evenly divided and more evenly mixed.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 12 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides an apparatus for promoting rapid mixing of liquids using surfactants, comprising a mixing cylinder 100 and a mixing mechanism, wherein the mixing cylinder 100 is vertically arranged. The mixing mechanism includes a transmission frame and multiple mixing components. The transmission frame is disposed inside the mixing cylinder 100 and is rotatable about the axial direction of the mixing cylinder 100. The transmission frame includes multiple connecting frames 520, which are distributed circumferentially along the mixing cylinder 100.

[0031] Multiple mixing components are distributed sequentially from top to bottom. Each mixing component includes multiple mixing units, which are distributed circumferentially along the mixing cylinder 100. Each mixing unit includes a first partition plate 610 and a second partition plate 620. The first partition plate 610 and the second partition plate 620 are respectively fixedly mounted on two adjacent connecting frames 520, and are distributed sequentially circumferentially along the mixing cylinder 100. Furthermore, along the vertical direction, the first partition plates 610 and the second partition plates 620 of the multiple mixing components on each connecting frame 520 are staggered.

[0032] In one mixing unit, the first partition plate 610 is horizontally positioned, and the second partition plate 620 is vertically positioned. In the other mixing units, the first partition plates 610 are inclined, and the angle between the multiple first partition plates 610 and the horizontal plane gradually increases along the circumference of the mixing cylinder 100. Similarly, the second partition plates 620 in the other mixing units are inclined, and the angle between the multiple second partition plates 620 and the vertical plane gradually increases along the circumference of the mixing cylinder 100.

[0033] Rotating the transmission frame causes the connecting frame 520 of the transmission frame to drive multiple first partition plates 610 and multiple second partition plates 620 to rotate counterclockwise. This counterclockwise rotation is for... Figure 7 The counter-clockwise direction when viewed from top to bottom. For example... Figure 7 As shown, when the mixing assembly rotates counterclockwise, in the mixing unit having a horizontally arranged first partition plate 610 and a vertically arranged second partition plate 620, the horizontally arranged first partition plate 610 cuts the liquid horizontally, dividing the liquid into upper and lower parts. The vertically arranged second partition plate 620 cuts the liquid vertically, dividing the liquid into left and right parts, thereby mixing the liquid.

[0034] In other mixing units, the first partition plate 610 and the second partition plate 620 both divide the liquid into two parts. As the angle between the multiple first partition plates 610 and the horizontal plane gradually increases along the circumference of the mixing cylinder 100, and the angle between the multiple second partition plates 620 and the vertical plane gradually increases along the circumference of the mixing cylinder 100, the liquid in the mixing cylinder 100 is cut in multiple directions, which makes the liquid more evenly divided and more evenly mixed.

[0035] In this embodiment, along the circumference of the mixing cylinder 100, the two ends of the first partition plate 610 are a first end and a second end, respectively, and the two ends of the second partition plate 620 are a third end and a fourth end, respectively. The third end of the second partition plate 620 is located closer to the second end of the first partition plate 610 relative to the fourth end of the second partition plate 620. The first end of the first partition plate 610 and the third end of the second partition plate 620 constitute a partition portion 611, and the second end of the first partition plate 610 and the fourth end of the second partition plate 620 constitute a mixing portion 612.

[0036] Two first inclined surfaces 614 are provided at the second end of the first partition plate 610. The two first inclined surfaces 614 are located on both sides of the first partition plate 610 along the radial direction of the mixing cylinder 100, and gradually approach each other along the direction from the first end to the second end of the first partition plate 610. Two second inclined surfaces are provided at the fourth end of the second partition plate 620. The two second inclined surfaces are located on both sides of the second partition plate 620 along the radial direction of the mixing cylinder 100, and gradually approach each other along the direction from the third end to the fourth end of the second partition plate 620.

[0037] In the mixing unit with a horizontally arranged first partition plate 610 and a vertically arranged second partition plate 620, as the mixing mechanism rotates, the liquid in the mixing cylinder 100 moves along the first end to the second end of the first partition plate 610. The liquid is first separated into upper and lower parts by the first partition plate 610. Then, under the action of the first inclined surface 614, the liquid in the upper and lower parts gradually mixes and reaches the third end of the second partition plate 620. Then, it is separated into left and right parts by the second partition plate 620. Then, under the action of the second inclined surface, the liquid in the left and right parts gradually mixes again. The liquid in the annular cavity 101 is continuously separated and mixed, further improving the uniformity of the mixing.

[0038] In this embodiment, each first partition plate 610 has a plurality of first grooves 615 at its second end. The plurality of first grooves 615 are distributed sequentially along the radial direction of the mixing cylinder 100, and each first groove 615 is arranged along the circumference of the mixing cylinder 100. Each second partition plate 620 has a plurality of second grooves at its fourth end. The plurality of second grooves are distributed sequentially along the vertical direction, and each second groove is arranged along the circumference of the mixing cylinder 100.

[0039] Each mixing unit also includes a plurality of first actuating plates 613 and a plurality of second actuating plates 621. The first actuating plates 613 are arranged circumferentially along the mixing cylinder 100, each first actuating plate 613 being disposed within a first sliding groove 615, and each first actuating plate 613 being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first sliding groove 615 at one end circumferentially along the mixing cylinder 100. The second actuating plates 621 are arranged circumferentially along the mixing cylinder 100, each second actuating plate 621 being disposed within a second sliding groove, and each second actuating plate 621 being rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second sliding groove at one end circumferentially along the mixing cylinder 100.

[0040] In this embodiment, the multiple first actuating plates 613 have different lengths. One end of each first actuating plate 613 is a third inclined surface 6141, which has the same inclination direction as the first inclined surface 614 and is flush with it. Similarly, the multiple second actuating plates 621 have different lengths. One end of each second actuating plate 621 is a fourth inclined surface, which has the same inclination direction as the second inclined surface and is flush with it.

[0041] Along the direction from the first end to the second end of the first partition plate 610, the thickness of each first actuating plate 613 gradually increases. Along the direction from the third end to the fourth end of the second partition plate 620, the thickness of each second actuating plate 621 gradually increases. When the liquid passes through the first partition plate 610, due to the gradual increase in thickness of each first actuating plate 613 along the direction from the first end to the second end of the first partition plate 610, a flow velocity difference is generated between the liquid passing through the first partition plate 610 and the liquid passing through the first actuating plate 613, thereby improving the mixing ability of the liquid.

[0042] In this embodiment, a first rotating shaft 6131 is provided at the connection between the first actuating plate 613 and the first slide 615, and a first torsion spring is provided on the first rotating shaft 6131. ​​A second rotating shaft is provided at the connection between the second actuating plate 621 and the second slide, and a second torsion spring is provided on the second rotating shaft. When there is a flow velocity difference between the upper and lower parts of the liquid, the first actuating plate 613 will rotate around the first rotating shaft 6131, and under the action of the first torsion spring, the first actuating plate 613 will swing in the up-down direction. Thus, during the process of the liquid flowing through the first separating plate 610 being separated into upper and lower parts and then gradually mixed, the swinging of the first actuating plate 613 improves the ability of the liquid to gradually mix and the uniformity of the mixing.

[0043] In this embodiment, the transmission frame further includes a first connecting ring 510 and a second connecting ring 530. The first connecting ring 510, the second connecting ring 530, and the mixing cylinder 100 are coaxially arranged, and both the first connecting ring 510 and the second connecting ring 530 are rotatable around their own axes. The first connecting ring 510 is fixedly disposed on the upper side of the plurality of connecting frames 520, and the second connecting ring 530 is fixedly disposed on the lower side of the plurality of connecting frames 520. A first gear ring 501 is fixedly disposed on the upper side of the first connecting ring 510, and the first gear ring 501 and the first connecting ring 510 are coaxially arranged.

[0044] The device for promoting rapid liquid mixing using surfactants also includes a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a first motor 300, which is fixedly mounted on the mixing cylinder 100. A first gear is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 300, and the first gear meshes with a first gear ring 501. When the first motor 300 is started, it drives the first gear to rotate, which in turn drives the first connecting ring 510 to rotate via the first gear ring 501. The first connecting ring 510 drives multiple connecting brackets 520 and a second connecting ring 530 to rotate synchronously, and the multiple connecting brackets 520 drive multiple mixing components to rotate.

[0045] In this embodiment, a first annular groove and a second annular groove are provided on the inner peripheral wall of the mixing cylinder 100. The first annular groove, the second annular groove and the mixing cylinder 100 are coaxially arranged, and the first annular groove and the second annular groove are distributed sequentially from top to bottom. The first connecting ring 510 is slidably disposed in the first annular groove, and the second connecting ring 530 is slidably disposed in the second annular groove.

[0046] The first connecting ring 510 has a first connecting ring groove 511, and the second connecting ring 530 has a second connecting ring groove 531. The first connecting ring groove 511, the second connecting ring groove 531 and the mixing cylinder 100 are coaxially arranged. The first connecting ring groove 511 and the second connecting ring groove 531 facilitate the entry of liquid into the mixing mechanism.

[0047] In this embodiment, a connecting column 120 is fixedly disposed inside the mixing cylinder 100, and the connecting column 120 and the mixing cylinder 100 are coaxially arranged. A first channel 102 is formed inside the connecting column 120, and the first channel 102 and the connecting column 120 are coaxially arranged. Multiple connecting groove assemblies are also formed inside the connecting column 120, and the multiple connecting groove assemblies are distributed sequentially from top to bottom. Each connecting groove assembly includes a third annular groove 121, a fourth annular groove 122, and a rotating groove. The third annular groove 121, the fourth annular groove 122, and the connecting column 120 are coaxially arranged, and the third annular groove 121 is located inside the fourth annular groove 122. The third annular groove 121 and the first channel 102 are connected. The rotating groove is vertically arranged, located between the third annular groove 121 and the fourth annular groove 122, and the rotating groove is connected to the third annular groove 121 and the fourth annular groove 122.

[0048] The device for promoting rapid mixing of liquids using surfactants also includes a stirring mechanism, which comprises a second motor 400, a connecting shaft 401, and multiple stirring components. The connecting shaft 401 is rotatably disposed within the first channel 102, and the second motor 400 is fixedly disposed on the mixing cylinder 100, with the output shaft of the second motor 400 fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 401.

[0049] Multiple stirring components are arranged sequentially along the vertical direction. Each stirring component includes a second gear 404, a transmission gear 402, and a second gear ring 403. The second gear 404 is fixedly mounted on the connecting shaft 401 and rotatably mounted in the third annular groove 121. The transmission gear 402 is rotatably mounted in the rotating groove, and the transmission gear 402 meshes with the second gear 404. The second gear ring 403 is rotatably mounted in the fourth annular groove 122, and its inner peripheral wall meshes with the transmission gear 402. Multiple mixing plates 4031 are fixedly mounted on the outer peripheral wall of the second gear ring 403, and the multiple mixing plates 4031 are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the second gear ring 403.

[0050] The second motor 400 is started, which drives the connecting shaft 401 to rotate, thereby driving multiple second gears 404 to rotate. Each second gear 404 drives a transmission gear 402 to rotate, thereby driving a second gear ring 403 to rotate. Each second gear ring 403 drives multiple mixing plates 4031 to rotate. When the mixing plates 4031 rotate, they drive the liquid in the mixing cylinder 100 to rotate. The first motor 300 and the second motor 400 respectively cause the mixing mechanism and the stirring mechanism to rotate in opposite directions.

[0051] In this embodiment, a plurality of first protrusions 110 are provided on the inner peripheral wall of the mixing cylinder 100. The plurality of first protrusions 110 are distributed along the circumference of the mixing cylinder 100, and each first protrusion 110 is vertically arranged. A plurality of second protrusions 130 are fixedly provided on the connecting column 120. The plurality of second protrusions 130 are distributed along the circumference of the mixing cylinder 100, each second protrusion 130 is vertically arranged, and the convex surface of each second protrusion 130 corresponds to the convex surface of a first protrusion 110. The most convex point of the first protrusion 110 and the most convex point of the second protrusion 130 and the axis of the mixing cylinder 100 are on the same line. An annular cavity 101 is formed between the mixing cylinder 100 and the connecting column 120, and the mixing mechanism is disposed in the annular cavity 101.

[0052] When the liquid inside the mixing cylinder 100 rotates, the space for liquid flow gradually narrows and then gradually widens under the action of the first protrusion 110 and the second protrusion 130, thereby allowing the liquid to mix during rotation and improving the mixing uniformity.

[0053] In this embodiment, the mixing cylinder 100 also includes a cover plate 200, on which a feed inlet 201 is provided.

[0054] Working process: The second motor 400 is started, which drives the connecting shaft 401 to rotate, thereby driving multiple second gears 404 to rotate. Each second gear 404 drives a transmission gear 402 to rotate, which in turn drives a second gear ring 403 to rotate. Each second gear ring 403 drives multiple mixing plates 4031 to rotate. When the mixing plates 4031 rotate, they cause the liquid in the mixing cylinder 100 to rotate clockwise. As the liquid in the mixing cylinder 100 rotates, under the action of the first protrusion 110 and the second protrusion 130, the space for liquid flow gradually narrows and then gradually widens, thereby allowing the liquid to mix during rotation and improving the mixing uniformity.

[0055] Simultaneously, the first motor 300 is started, which drives the first gear to rotate, and then drives the first connecting ring 510 to rotate through the first gear ring 501. The first connecting ring 510 drives multiple connecting frames 520 and the second connecting ring 530 to rotate synchronously. The multiple connecting frames 520 drive multiple mixing components to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the liquid in the annular cavity 101 flows from the first end of the first partition plate 610 to the second end, and flows from the third end of the second partition plate 620 to the fourth end.

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, when the mixing assembly rotates counterclockwise, in the mixing unit having a horizontally arranged first partition plate 610 and a vertically arranged second partition plate 620, the horizontally arranged first partition plate 610 cuts the liquid horizontally, dividing the liquid into upper and lower parts. The vertically arranged second partition plate 620 cuts the liquid vertically, dividing the liquid into left and right parts.

[0057] Simultaneously, as the mixing mechanism rotates, the liquid within the annular cavity 101 moves along the first end of the first partition plate 610 to the second end. The liquid is first separated into upper and lower parts by the first partition plate 610. Then, under the action of the first inclined surface 614, the upper and lower parts of the liquid gradually mix and reach the third end of the second partition plate 620. There, it is separated into left and right parts by the second partition plate 620. Then, under the action of the second inclined surface, the left and right parts of the liquid gradually mix again. The continuous separation and mixing of the liquid within the annular cavity 101 further improves the uniformity of the mixture.

[0058] When the liquid passes through the first partition plate 610, the thickness of each first actuating plate 613 gradually increases along the direction from the first end to the second end of the first partition plate 610. This creates a velocity difference between the liquid passing through the first partition plate 610 and the liquid passing through the first actuating plate 613, thereby improving the mixing ability of the liquid. Furthermore, when there is a velocity difference between the upper and lower parts of the liquid, the first actuating plate 613 rotates around the first rotating shaft 6131, and under the action of the first torsion spring, the first actuating plate 613 oscillates in the vertical direction. Thus, during the process of the liquid flowing through the first partition plate 610 being separated into upper and lower parts and then gradually mixed, the oscillation of the first actuating plate 613 improves the gradual mixing ability and the uniformity of the mixture.

[0059] In other mixing units, the first partition plate 610 and the second partition plate 620 both divide the liquid into two parts. As the angle between the multiple first partition plates 610 and the horizontal plane gradually increases along the circumference of the mixing cylinder 100, and the angle between the multiple second partition plates 620 and the vertical plane gradually increases along the circumference of the mixing cylinder 100, the liquid in the annular cavity 101 is cut in multiple directions, which makes the liquid more uniformly divided and the liquid more uniformly mixed.

[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
