AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Fluid or bulk materials can easily clog the neck of the funnel during filling, making it difficult to quickly enter the filling receiving container and potentially causing overflow.

Method used

A permeable rib structure is set on the outer wall of the funnel to ensure that the internal atmospheric pressure of the filling receiving container is balanced with the external atmospheric pressure. The permeable ribs are evenly distributed along the outer side of the funnel body and neck, starting from the bottom of the neck and gradually thickening, and ending at the top of the funnel body.

Benefits of technology

It enables fluids or bulk materials to quickly enter the filling receiving container, avoiding blockages and maintaining the smoothness and safety of the filling process.

Abstract

The invention discloses a breathable funnel, relates to the technical field of filling of fluid or bulk materials, and relates to cones, semi-spheres and other shapes (a funnel body formed by rotating a curve around a center line) funnels in the fields of warehouses, laboratories, production workshops and the like in the industries of food, chemistry, biology, medicine, materials and the like and in the market. When fluid or bulk materials are filled through one or more ventilation rib structures on the outer wall of the funnel, the interior of the filling receiving container can be rapidly exhausted, balance with the external atmospheric pressure is kept, and the fluid or bulk materials can rapidly enter the filling receiving container when being filled. The situation that fluid or bulk materials in the funnel cannot rapidly fall into the filling receiving container due to the fact that the air pressure in the filling receiving container is too large is avoided, and meanwhile the ventilating ribs can prevent the funnel from rolling. The funnel is made of metal (steel, copper and the like), glass, chemical materials (plastic, PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and the like), paper and the like, and can be a composite material composed of various materials. The drawing of the specification shows a semi-spherical funnel and a conical funnel, one or more ventilation ribs are arranged on the outer side of the funnel, the neck of one funnel is integrated with a funnel body, and an obvious angle boundary is formed between the neck (cylindrical or conical) of the other funnel (conical or semi-spherical funnel) and the funnel body.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of filling technology for fluids or bulk materials, and pertains to a funnel of a special shape. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of fluid or bulk material filling technology, this involves warehouses, laboratories, production workshops and other occasions in industries such as food, chemicals, biology, medicine and materials, as well as funnels in the market with shapes such as cones and hemisphericals (a funnel body formed by the curve rotating around the center line). The outer wall of the funnel is in close contact with the circular container opening of the filling receiving container, and a sealed space is formed inside the filling receiving container. During filling, the fluid or bulk material is easy to get stuck in the neck of the funnel, making it difficult to quickly enter the filling receiving container, and sometimes it overflows the funnel. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned filling technology for fluids or bulk materials, so as to enable fluids or bulk materials to quickly enter the filling receiving container during filling.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution: one or more ventilated ribs on the outer wall of the funnel enable rapid venting of the filling receiving container and maintains a balance with the external atmospheric pressure. This allows fluids or bulk materials to quickly enter the filling receiving container during filling, preventing excessive air pressure inside the filling receiving container from causing the fluids or bulk materials in the funnel to become blocked and unable to fall quickly into the filling receiving container. At the same time, the ventilated ribs prevent the funnel from rolling.

[0005] The present invention provides a permeable funnel for quickly entering a filling and receiving container during the filling of fluids or bulk materials, comprising: a funnel body, a funnel neck, and one or more permeable ribs on the outer wall of the funnel.

[0006] The air-permeable rib is connected to the outer side of the body and neck of the conical funnel.

[0007] The ventilation ribs are provided in one or more pieces, and are arranged at intervals along the outer circumference of the funnel body and the neck of the funnel, and are all fixedly connected as one piece.

[0008] The aforementioned breathable ribs may be provided as one or more.

[0009] The air-permeable ribs begin at the neck of the funnel, or if necessary, from the bottom of the neck of the funnel, with the thickness of the reinforcing ribs gradually increasing from zero at the beginning.

[0010] The ventilated ribs terminate at the funnel body and extend, if necessary, to the top of the funnel body.

[0011] The funnel can be made of metal (steel, copper, etc.), glass, chemical materials (plastic, PVC, etc.), paper, etc., and can be a composite material composed of multiple materials. Attached Figure Description

[0012] The accompanying illustrations in the instruction manual show funnels in hemispherical and conical shapes. The funnels have one or more ventilation ribs on the outside. In one type of funnel, the neck is integrated with the body, while in another type, the neck (cylindrical or conical) has a clear dividing line with the body.

[0013] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the ventilated funnel. There is no clear dividing line between the neck (cylindrical or conical) of the funnel and the body.

[0014] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the ventilation funnel. The neck of the funnel (cylindrical or conical) has a clear dividing line from the body of the funnel, and the body of the funnel is conical.

[0015] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the ventilation funnel. The neck of the funnel (cylindrical or conical) has a clear dividing line from the body of the funnel, and the body of the funnel is hemispherical.

[0016] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the ventilation funnel, with one or more ventilation ribs on the outer wall of the funnel (the diagram shows three ribs).

[0017] Icons: 1-The funnel body (a cone, hemisphere, or other shape formed by a curve rotating around the center line); 2-The neck of the funnel (cylindrical or conical shape); 3-Air ribs. Detailed Implementation Specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0018] For ease of description, the spatial relative terms "lower end" and "top" here refer to the spatial position of the funnel body when the neck of the funnel is downward, that is... Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The location shown.

[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, there are three ventilation ribs on the neck (cylindrical or conical) and the outer side of the funnel.

[0020] When the funnel with venting ribs is inserted into the opening of the circular filling container, a certain gap is formed between the raised venting ribs and the circular inlet of the filling container, which facilitates the expulsion of air from the filling container when the fluid or bulk material enters the filling container quickly.

[0021] The ventilating ribs begin at the neck of the funnel, and if necessary, start from the bottom of the neck of the funnel. The thickness of the ventilating ribs gradually increases from zero.

[0022] The venting ribs terminate at the funnel body and extend, if necessary, to the top of the funnel body.

[0023] There are one or more ventilating ribs. In order to keep the funnel upright, the ventilating ribs are evenly distributed on the outside of the funnel.

[0024] All aspects not detailed in this invention are conventional technical means known to those skilled in the art.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit it; it should be pointed out that any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
