Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of lubricant preparation technology, and more specifically to a material preparation apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, high-performance water-based drilling fluid pretreatment agents have attracted widespread attention from research institutions both domestically and internationally. High-performance water-based drilling fluid systems constructed from these agents exhibit excellent inhibition, rheological, and lubricating properties, and have been widely applied in high-temperature, high-pressure, and geologically complex wells. Their cost is significantly lower than that of oil-based drilling fluids, and they are environmentally friendly, demonstrating promising application prospects. Therefore, the development of key pretreatment agents for high-performance water-based drilling fluid systems is of great significance for ensuring safe drilling in particularly complex wells.

[0059] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the solutions of the present invention will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0060] The following description sets forth many specific details in order to provide a full understanding of the invention, but the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments described in the specification are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the invention.

[0061] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the material preparation equipment provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes a frame 1, a mixing tank 2, and a first drive assembly 3.

[0062] The mixing tank 2 is hinged to the frame 1, allowing it to swing relative to the frame 1. The mixing tank 2 has an internal mixing chamber 21, within which a mixing assembly 22 extends horizontally for mixing materials. The mixing assembly 22 mixes various materials added to the mixing chamber 21, accelerating the mixing process. Specifically, the mixing chamber 21 is cylindrical or polygonal, and its axis extends horizontally. The first drive assembly 3 includes a first drive member 31 and a transmission member 32. The first drive member 31 drives the mixing tank 2 to swing back and forth vertically relative to the frame 1 via the transmission member 32. The transmission member 32 is configured to achieve the reciprocating swing of the mixing tank 2 through the unidirectional rotation of the first drive member 31. By driving the mixing tank 2 to slide up and down repeatedly via the first drive assembly 3, the materials within the mixing chamber 21 of the mixing tank 2 are agitated, thereby increasing the mixing speed and accelerating the production process.

[0063] Based on the material preparation equipment provided by the present invention, after the material enters the mixing chamber 21, it can be stirred by the horizontally arranged stirring component 22. At the same time, the first driving component 31 drives the mixing tank 2 to swing back and forth in the vertical direction through the transmission component 32, so that the material in the stirring process shakes in the direction perpendicular to the stirring component 22, which improves the fullness of material mixing, speeds up the stirring speed of the material, and shortens the material preparation time. Moreover, the first driving component 31 can realize the reciprocating swing of the mixing tank 2 by rotating in one direction, which increases the driving speed of the mixing tank 2 and reduces the time spent in a single swing cycle of the mixing tank 2, thereby meeting the high-speed stirring requirements of the material in conjunction with the stirring component 22.

[0064] The reaction vessel provided by this invention can be used for liquid materials such as drilling fluid lubricants, as well as other solid materials.

[0065] In some implementations, combined Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a drive box 4 is provided on one side of the mixing tank 2, and the transmission component 32 includes a rotating column 321, a rotating cylinder 322, a sliding block 323, and a first telescopic rod 324.

[0066] The rotating column 321 is rotatably mounted inside the drive housing 4 and extends vertically. The first driving member 31 is used to drive the rotating column 321 to rotate. Specifically, the first driving member 31 is a drive motor, which is located at the top of the drive housing 4. The output shaft of the drive motor extends vertically and downwards into the drive housing 4. The top end of the rotating column 321 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the bottom end of the rotating column 321 is connected to the bottom of the drive housing 4 through a bearing.

[0067] A rotating cylinder 322 is fitted around the outer periphery of a rotating column 321 and rotates synchronously with the rotating column 321. A drive motor then drives the rotating column 321 and the rotating cylinder 322 to rotate synchronously. A groove 3221 is provided on the outer periphery of the rotating cylinder 322, and the groove 3221 extends spirally. The groove 3221 is formed on the outer surface of the rotating cylinder 322 and should have a certain depth. The extension method of the groove 3221 ensures that, after the rotating cylinder 322 is unfolded, the outline of the groove 3221 is in the form of a peak-valley line.

[0068] The sliding block 323 is slidably mounted on the drive box 4 in the vertical direction. The sliding block 323 is provided with a moving block 3231, which extends into the slide groove 3221. Specifically, the moving block 3231 is slidably embedded in the inner cavity of the slide groove 3221, so that the moving block 3231 can slide in the slide groove 3221 by the rotation of the rotating cylinder 322. During the sliding process, the moving block 3231 can drive the sliding block 323 to move in the vertical direction.

[0069] One end of the first telescopic rod 324 is hinged to the mixing tank 2, and the other end of the first telescopic rod 324 is hinged to the sliding block 323. The vertical movement of the sliding block 323 causes the mixing tank 2 to swing vertically (the swing axis extends horizontally).

[0070] The extension path of the chute 3221 can be designed according to actual needs. The moving speed of the sliding block 323 can be changed according to the deflection angle of the chute 3221, thereby driving the oscillation frequency and amplitude of the mixing tank 2. In some embodiments, the chute 3221 extends inclinedly from top to bottom and then inclinedly from bottom to top, and the ends of the chute 3221 are connected to form a closed loop structure to prevent the moving block 3231 from detaching from the chute 3221.

[0071] In this design, the first driving component 31 drives the rotating column 321 and the rotating cylinder 322 to rotate, which enables the sliding block 323 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, thereby causing the mixing tank 2 to swing. The design of the first telescopic rod 324 can increase the range of movement of the sliding block 323, thereby increasing the swing amplitude of the mixing tank 2. Furthermore, the unidirectional drive of the first driving component 31 can increase the swing frequency of the mixing tank 2, thereby increasing the mixing effect of the materials in the mixing tank 2.

[0072] In some implementations, combined Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the drive box 4 has a first guide rod 5 rotatably mounted inside. The first guide rod 5 is parallel to the rotating column 321, and the sliding block 323 is slidably engaged with the first guide rod 5. Specifically, there are two first guide rods 5, each located on one side of the inner cavity of the drive box 4. The sliding block 323 includes a sliding plate 3232 that slidably engages with the first guide rod 5 and a sliding rod 3233 located outside the sliding plate 3232. The sliding plate 3232 is slidably fitted onto the outer wall of the two first guide rods 5. The moving block 3231 is slidably embedded in the inner cavity of the groove 3221 and fixedly connected to the sliding plate 3232. A guide groove is provided on the side of the drive box 4 facing the mixing tank 2. The guide groove extends vertically, and the sliding rod 3233 slidably engages with the guide groove, allowing the entire sliding block 323 to move vertically. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, one side of the sliding rod 3233 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 3232, and the other side of the sliding rod 3233 is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 3234. The lifting plate 3234 is hinged to one end of the first telescopic rod 324.

[0073] In this design, the first drive assembly 3 is activated when in use. The first drive component 31 drives the slide 3221 to rotate via the rotating column 321 and the rotating cylinder 322. Since the slide 3221 is spiral and connected end to end, when the slide 3221 rotates, the moving block 3231 drives the sliding plate 3232 to slide up and down vertically under the limiting action of the two first guide rods 5. This causes the sliding rod 3233 to drive the lifting plate 3234 to slide up and down repeatedly, and the first telescopic rod 324 to drive the mixing tank 2 to swing back and forth around the frame 1. This causes the material in the inner cavity of the mixing tank 2 to ripple repeatedly, thereby increasing the mixing speed between materials and accelerating the production efficiency of materials. This solves the problem that the existing preparation equipment has a slow driving swing speed and requires a long time to complete one swing cycle.

[0074] In some implementations, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the stirring assembly 22 includes multiple stirring elements 221, which are evenly distributed within the stirring chamber 21. The stirring elements 221 are spaced apart horizontally; alternatively, the stirring elements 221 are arranged in two layers, each layer including two stirring elements 221 spaced apart horizontally; alternatively, there are three stirring elements 221 arranged in a triangular pattern; alternatively, there are five stirring elements 221, with one stirring element 221 located in the center of the stirring tank 2, and the other four stirring elements 221 arranged around the central stirring element 221. Therefore, the number and arrangement of the stirring elements 221 are not limited and can be designed according to actual needs.

[0075] With this design, the mixing range can be increased by multiple evenly distributed mixing components 221, thereby ensuring the fullness of material mixing and the mixing effect of the material.

[0076] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the stirring component 221 includes a stirring shaft 2211 and a plurality of blades 2212 disposed on the stirring shaft 2211, with the blades 2212 on adjacent stirring components 221 being staggered. Specifically, one end of the stirring shaft 2211 is rotatably connected to the inner side of one end of the stirring chamber 21 via a bearing, and the other end of the stirring shaft 2211 extends out of the stirring chamber 21 for connection with the drive component 2213 described below.

[0077] In this design, the cooperation between multiple mixing components 221 ensures that the material at each location can be mixed, thus ensuring the mixing effect of the material.

[0078] In some implementations, combined Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the stirring shafts 2211 of multiple stirring components 221 extend out of one side of the mixing tank 2. Each of the extended ends of the stirring shafts 2211 is equipped with a gear 22111, and the gears 22111 mesh sequentially. The stirring assembly 22 also includes a driving component 2213, which drives the stirring shaft 2211 of one of the stirring components 221 to rotate. The driving component 2213 can be a drive motor, etc. Specifically, a fixing frame 23 is provided on one side of the mixing tank 2, and the drive motor is mounted on the fixing frame 23.

[0079] In some embodiments, when multiple stirring elements 221 are spaced apart along the horizontal direction, the gears 22111 on two adjacent stirring shafts 2211 mesh in sequence. At this time, the rotation directions of the two adjacent gears 22111 are opposite, which in turn makes the rotation directions of the two adjacent stirring shafts 2211 opposite, thereby increasing the stirring effect of the material.

[0080] In some implementations, such as Figure 3As shown, there are five stirring components 221, with one stirring component 221 located in the middle of the mixing tank 2, and the other four stirring components 221 arranged around the stirring component 221 located in the middle. At this time, the gear 22111 connected to the stirring shaft 2211 in the middle has a larger diameter, while the gears 22111 connected to the other four stirring shafts 2211 are relatively smaller, and the gears 22111 connected to the other four stirring shafts 2211 mesh with the gear 22111 connected to the stirring shaft 2211 in the middle. At this time, the stirring shaft 2211 in the middle can be driven to rotate by the driving component 2213, so that the other four stirring shafts 2211 can rotate synchronously and in opposite directions.

[0081] With this design, multiple stirring shafts 2211 can be driven to rotate by a single drive component 2213, reducing the cost of drive components.

[0082] In some implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the material preparation equipment also includes a collection tank set on the frame 1. The collection tank is located below the mixing tank 2 and is used to receive the material discharged from the mixing tank 2.

[0083] Specifically, the bottom of the mixing tank 2 is provided with a discharge pipe 25, and a collection trough is located below the discharge pipe 25 to collect the material discharged through the discharge pipe 25, thereby increasing the convenience of material collection.

[0084] In other embodiments, the collection tank and the discharge pipe 25 can also be connected by a pipe to prevent the material from leaving the collection tank.

[0085] As can be seen, the way materials enter the collection tank in this application is not limited and can be designed according to actual needs.

[0086] In some embodiments, the frame 1 is provided with a second drive assembly 6 for moving the collection trough. In this design, the second drive assembly 6 can move the collection trough on the frame 1 to change the vertical position of the collection trough relative to the mixing tank 2. This allows an empty collection trough to be moved below the mixing tank 2 to receive materials, and a collection trough filled with materials to be moved to another position to avoid the mixing tank 2. This facilitates the discharge of materials from the collection trough to the next process, increasing operational convenience.

[0087] In some implementations, such as Figure 1As shown, the second drive assembly 6 includes a movable plate 61, a first lead screw 62, and a second drive member 63. The movable plate 61 is used to hold the collection trough and is slidably mounted on the frame 1 in a horizontal direction. The first lead screw 62 passes through the movable plate 61 along the moving direction of the collection trough and is threadedly engaged with the movable plate 61, so that the rotation of the first lead screw 62 can drive the movable plate 61 and the collection trough to move horizontally, thereby changing the position of the collection trough on the frame 1. The second drive member 63 is used to drive the first lead screw 62 to rotate, and the second drive member 63 can be a drive motor, etc.

[0088] With this design, the moving plate 61 can be moved horizontally by the second driving component 63, making adjustment convenient.

[0089] In some embodiments, the second drive assembly 6 further includes at least one second guide rod 64, which passes through and slides in cooperation with the movable plate 61, and is parallel to the first lead screw 62. The second guide rod 64 guides the movement of the movable plate 61, thereby limiting the direction of movement of the movable plate 61.

[0090] Specifically, baffles are provided on corresponding sides of the frame 1. The second drive member 63 is located on the outside of one of the baffles, and the output shaft of the second drive member 63 extends between the two baffles. One end of the first lead screw 62 is rotatably connected to the baffle on the side away from the second drive member 63 via a bearing, and the other end of the first lead screw 62 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second drive member 63. There are two second guide rods 64, which are arranged parallel to the first lead screw 62. A movable plate 61 is screwed to the outer wall of the first lead screw 62 and slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the two second guide rods 64. The top end of the movable plate 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed plate 721 described below. The second drive unit 63 is activated, causing the second drive unit 63 to drive the first lead screw 62 to rotate. Under the action of the rotational force of the thread on the outer wall of the first lead screw 62, when the first lead screw 62 rotates, the moving plate 61 can drive the fixed plate 721 and the collection tank to slide under the limiting action of the two second guide rods 64, so that the collection tank slides to below the discharge pipe 25 of the mixing tank 2.

[0091] In some embodiments, the movable plate 61 is provided with a limiting component 7 for limiting the position of the collection slot.

[0092] With this design, the position of the collection trough can be maintained by the limiting component 7, preventing the collection trough from moving during the material collection process and ensuring the material collection effect.

[0093] In some implementations, such as Figure 7 As shown, the limiting component 7 includes two clamping plates 71 and a third driving member 72 for moving the two clamping plates 71 closer or further apart.

[0094] In this design, the third component drives the two clamping plates 71 to move, thereby changing the size between the two clamping plates 71. This allows it to be adapted to collection tanks of different sizes, and the clamping plates 71 can clamp onto the corresponding sides of the collection tank, ensuring the positioning effect of the collection tank. This solves the problem of existing preparation equipment using a positioning frame to fix the collection tank and prevent it from moving when receiving materials. However, the positioning frame is fixed in size and can only fix one type of collection tank, which has significant limitations in practical use.

[0095] In some implementations, combined Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the third driving component 72 includes a fixed plate 721, a second lead screw 722, and two sliders 723. The fixed plate 721 is disposed on top of the movable plate 61, so that the movable plate 61 can drive the fixed plate 721 to move. The collection groove is disposed on top of the fixed plate 721, and thus the fixed plate 721 drives the collection groove to move. The second lead screw 722 passes through the fixed plate 721 and can rotate relative to the fixed plate 721. The second lead screw 722 is symmetrically provided with a first thread 7221 and a second thread 7222, and the thread directions of the first thread 7221 and the second thread 7222 are opposite. The two sliders 723 are respectively sleeved on the outer periphery of the first thread 7221 and the second thread 7222. During the rotation of the second lead screw 722, the first thread 7221 and the second thread 7222 generate relative thread rotational forces. The two clamping plates 71 are respectively connected to the two sliders 723.

[0096] With this design, the rotation of the second lead screw 722 can drive the two sliders 723 to move closer or further away, thereby clamping or releasing the collection trough through the two clamping plates 71, increasing the convenience of operation.

[0097] In some implementations, combined Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a slide rail 7211 is provided at the top of the fixed plate 721. The slide rail 7211 extends along the length direction of the second lead screw 722. A movable rod 7231 is connected to the top of the slider 723. The movable rod 7231 and the slide rail 7211 slide together along the length direction of the second lead screw 722, so that the two movable rods 7231 are slidably embedded in the inner cavity of the slide rail 7211. That is, one end of the movable rod 7231 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 723, and the other end of the movable rod 7231 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the clamping plate 71.

[0098] In some implementations, such as Figure 8As shown, the bottom end of the slider 723 is provided with a limiting block 726, and the bottom end of the fixing plate 721 is provided with a limiting groove 725 that matches the limiting block 726. The limiting groove 725 is set along the extension direction of the second lead screw 722, and the limiting block 726 is slidably set in the limiting groove 725.

[0099] In this design, the two sliders 723, under the limiting action of the limiting groove 725 and the limiting block 726, respectively drive the two moving rods 7231 and the two clamping plates 71 to move the rods 7231, so that the two clamping plates 71 move closer or further away, thereby clamping or releasing the collection groove.

[0100] Specifically, the limiting groove 725 is formed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the fixed plate 721. The two limiting blocks 726 are slidably embedded in the inner cavity of the limiting groove 725 and are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two sliders 723 respectively. Under the interaction between the limiting groove 725 and the limiting blocks 726, the sliders 723 are prevented from rotating with the second lead screw 722 when the second lead screw 722 rotates, which improves the stability of the clamping plate 71 during use. The inner cavity of the limiting groove 725 and the outer wall of the limiting block 726 are adapted to each other and are both in the shape of "T". This ensures that one end of the limiting block 726 is always embedded in the inner cavity of the limiting groove 725, which improves the stability of the clamping plate 71 during use.

[0101] In some embodiments, the second lead screw 722 extends in a direction perpendicular to the first lead screw 62. This design allows for a more compact overall structure and better utilization of space.

[0102] In some embodiments, one end of the second lead screw 722 extends out of the fixed plate 721, and a turntable 724 is provided at the extended end of the second lead screw 722. Specifically, one end of the second lead screw 722 is rotatably connected to the fixed plate 721 via a bearing, and the other end of the second lead screw 722 extends out of the fixed plate 721 and is fixedly connected to the turntable 724. With this design, the second lead screw 722 can be rotated by rotating the turntable 724, increasing the convenience of operation.

[0103] In some embodiments, the material preparation equipment further includes a traveling device 8, which comprises a traveling wheel set 81 and a support assembly 82. The traveling wheel set 81 is disposed at the bottom of the frame 1. The support assembly 82 includes a fourth drive member 822 for moving the anti-slip plate 821 to drive the anti-slip plate 821 to move in the vertical direction. The traveling wheel set 81 includes multiple traveling wheels evenly distributed at the bottom of the frame 1 to ensure the stability of the frame 1 during movement.

[0104] In this design, during the walking state, the fourth drive component 822 drives the anti-slip plate 821 upward, positioning it above the walking wheel assembly 81. The walking wheel assembly 81 then travels on the walking surface, enabling the mixing tank 2 to be moved to a suitable position, thus increasing the ease of movement of the mixing tank 2. During the supported state, the fourth drive component 822 drives the anti-slip plate 821 downward, allowing it to extend downward beyond the walking wheel assembly 81 and support the frame 1. This ensures the anti-slip plate 821 contacts the supporting surface, increasing the friction between the entire device and the supporting surface, ensuring effective support, preventing the mixing tank 2 from shifting during use, and improving the stability of the mixing tank 2 during operation.

[0105] In some implementations, combined Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the fourth driving component 822 includes a worm gear 8221, a screw 8222, a moving cylinder 8224, and a fourth driving motor 8225.

[0106] A worm gear 8221 is horizontally mounted through the frame 1 and can rotate relative to the frame 1. Specifically, the worm gear 8221 and the frame 1 are connected by a bearing to increase the smoothness of rotation. A screw 8222 is vertically mounted through the frame 1 and can rotate relative to the frame 1. The outer periphery of the screw 8222 is provided with a worm gear 8223 that matches the worm gear 8221. A movable cylinder 8224 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the screw 8222 and threadedly engaged with the screw 8222. An anti-slip plate 821 is provided at the bottom of the movable cylinder 8224. A fourth drive motor 8225 is used to drive the worm gear 8221 to rotate.

[0107] Specifically, the fourth drive motor 8225 is located on one side of the frame 1. The output shaft of the fourth drive motor 8225 extends horizontally and into the inner cavity of the frame 1. One end of the worm gear 8221 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 via a bearing, and the other end of the worm gear 8221 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the fourth drive motor 8225, so that the fourth drive motor 8225 can drive the worm gear 8221 to rotate. One end of the screw 8222 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the frame 1 via a bearing. The worm wheel is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the screw 8222 and meshes with the worm gear 8221. The moving cylinder 8224 is screwed onto the outer wall of the screw 8222 and fixedly connected to the top of the anti-slip plate 821.

[0108] In this design, the fourth drive motor 8225 drives the worm gear 8221 to rotate. Through the meshing between the worm gear 8221 and the turbine 8223, the turbine 8223 rotates, which in turn drives the screw 8222 to rotate. Under the rotational force of the screw 8222's outer thread, when the screw 8222 rotates, it drives the moving cylinder 8224 to move vertically, which in turn drives the anti-slip plate 821 to move vertically. This allows the anti-slip plate 821 to extend downwards from the traveling wheel assembly 81 or retract above it. The structure is compact and easy to operate. Furthermore, after the anti-slip plate 821 extends downwards from the traveling wheel assembly 81, it can contact the ground, increasing the friction between the device and the ground, preventing movement during use, and improving the stability of the device.

[0109] In some embodiments, the engagement between the turbine 8223 and the worm 8221 can also be replaced by a set of bevel gears 22111. That is, the worm 8221 is replaced by a rotating shaft and a first bevel gear 22111, and the turbine 8223 is replaced by a second bevel gear 22111 set on the screw 8222. The first bevel gear 22111 and the second bevel gear 22111 mesh with each other, so that the rotation of the rotating shaft can drive the screw 8222 to rotate.

[0110] In some embodiments, the frame 1 is further provided with a plurality of second telescopic rods 8226, all of which extend in a vertical direction. The top end of the second telescopic rod 8226 is connected to the frame 1, and the bottom end of the second telescopic rod 8226 is connected to the anti-slip plate 821.

[0111] With this design, the movement direction of the anti-slip plate 821 can be limited by the extension and retraction of the second telescopic rod 8226, thus avoiding the phenomenon that the anti-slip plate 821 deviates from the vertical direction and causes the bottom ends of multiple anti-slip plates 821 to be uneven, affecting the support effect.

[0112] In some embodiments, the mixing tank 2 is provided with a feeding pipe for material entry and a discharge pipe 25 for material discharge. Both the feeding pipe 24 and the discharge pipe 25 are connected to the mixing chamber 21, so that the material to be mixed can enter the mixing chamber 21 through the feeding pipe 24 for mixing, and the mixed material can be discharged to a designated location through the discharge pipe 25 for easy material collection.

[0113] In some implementations, such as Figure 1As shown, the frame 1 includes a base 11 and a support 12 mounted on top of the base 11. A set of wheels 81 is mounted on the bottom of the base 11. The second drive assembly 6 and the limiting assembly 7 are both mounted on the base 11, thereby driving the collection trough to move on the base 11. The support 12 has a top plate 121 on top, with a clearance hole 1211. The clearance hole 1211 is vertically aligned with the discharge pipe 25 of the mixing tank 2, allowing material to enter the collection trough through the discharge pipe 25 and the clearance hole 1211. Support plates 1212 are mounted on corresponding sides of the top plate 121, extending vertically. The corresponding sides of the mixing tank 2 are hinged to the top ends of the two support plates 1212. Specifically, bearings are provided at the hinge points between the mixing tank 2 and the support plates 1212 to increase the smoothness of the mixing tank 2's movement.

[0114] The working process of the material preparation equipment provided by this invention is as follows:

[0115] Step S1: Use the walking wheel set 81 to move the material preparation equipment to a suitable position, and use the fourth drive component 822 to make the anti-slip plate 821 slide down in a straight line and contact the ground under the limiting action of multiple second telescopic rods 8226. At this time, the material is added to the inner cavity of the mixing tank 2 through the feeding pipe.

[0116] In step S2, the mixing assembly 22 mixes and stirs the various materials added to the mixing chamber 21 of the mixing tank 2, accelerating the mixing between the materials. The first drive assembly 3 drives the lifting plate 3234 to slide up and down repeatedly, thereby causing the first telescopic rod 324 to drive the mixing tank 2 to swing back and forth around the frame 1, causing the materials in the inner cavity of the mixing tank 2 to swirl back and forth, thereby improving the mixing speed between the materials and accelerating the production efficiency of the lubricant.

[0117] In step S3, the collection tank is placed at the top of the fixed plate 721 and between the two clamping plates 71. The third driving component 72 drives the two clamping plates 71 to slide simultaneously toward the middle of the top of the fixed plate 721, thereby clamping and fixing the collection tank. The second driving component 6 drives the fixed plate 721 and the collection tank to slide, so that the collection tank slides to below the discharge pipe 25 of the mixing tank 2. The discharge pipe 25 is opened, and the mixed material can be collected into the inner cavity of the collection tank to complete the preparation of the lubricant.

[0118] Specifically, the material preparation equipment provided by the present invention uses the walking wheel set 81 to move the device to a suitable position, starts the fourth drive motor 8225, and drives the worm 8221 to rotate. Since the worm 8221 meshes with the worm wheel, when the worm 8221 rotates, the worm wheel can drive the screw 8222 to rotate. Under the action of the rotational force of the screw thread on the outer wall of the screw 8222, when the screw 8222 rotates, the moving cylinder 8224 can drive the anti-slip plate 821 to slide downward in a straight line and contact the ground under the limiting action of multiple second telescopic rods 8226. This can increase the friction between the device and the ground, prevent the device from moving during use, and improve the stability of the device during use.

[0119] Material is added to the mixing chamber 21 of the mixing tank 2 using the feeding pipe. The drive component 2213 is started, which drives the mixing shaft 2211 connected to it and the gear 22111 on the mixing shaft 2211 to rotate. Since the gears 22111 on multiple mixing shafts 2211 mesh with the gear 22111, multiple mixing shafts 2211 can be driven to rotate, so that the mixing shaft 2211 drives the blade 2212 to rotate and mix the material.

[0120] The first driving component 31 is activated, causing the first driving component 31 to drive the slide 3221 to rotate via the rotating column 321 and the rotating cylinder 322. Since the slide 3221 is spiral and connected end to end, when the slide 3221 rotates, the moving block 3231 can drive the sliding plate 3232 to slide up and down in the vertical direction under the limiting action of the two first guide rods 5. This causes the sliding rod 3233 to drive the lifting plate 3234 to slide up and down repeatedly, causing the first telescopic rod 324 to drive the mixing tank 2 to swing back and forth around the frame 1. This causes the material in the mixing chamber 21 of the mixing tank 2 to ripple back and forth, thereby improving the mixing speed between materials and accelerating the production efficiency of lubricant.

[0121] The collection trough is placed at the top of the fixed plate 721 and between the two clamping plates 71. The turntable 724 is rotated, causing the turntable 724 to drive the second lead screw 722 to rotate. This causes the first thread 7221 and the second thread 7222 on the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the second lead screw 722 to generate a relative thread rotation force. Under the limiting action of the limiting groove 725 and the limiting block 726, the two sliders 723 respectively drive the two moving rods 7231 and the two clamping plates 71 to slide simultaneously toward the top center of the fixed plate 721, thereby clamping and fixing the collection trough with the two clamping plates 71.

[0122] The second drive unit 63 is activated, causing the second drive unit 63 to drive the first lead screw 62 to rotate. Under the action of the rotational force of the thread on the outer wall of the first lead screw 62, when the first lead screw 62 rotates, the moving plate 61 can drive the fixed plate 721 and the collection trough to slide under the limiting action of the two second guide rods 64, so that the collection trough slides to the bottom of the discharge pipe 25, which is convenient for fixing collection troughs of different sizes.
