Description

[0002] In building pile foundations, diaphragm walls, and drilling projects, the homogeneity and anti-deposition capabilities of mud mixing directly affect construction quality and efficiency. Traditional mud mixers mostly employ a fixed-speed, straight-blade structure, which has significant drawbacks: the fixed speed cannot adapt to the mixing needs at different stages, resulting in insufficient powder dispersion in the early stages and easy slurry stratification in the later stages; the straight blades cannot adhere to the bottom and side walls of the chamber, causing cement, bentonite, and other particles to easily deposit and form hard lumps; these deposits not only reduce the homogeneity of the slurry but also wear down the equipment and even clog the discharge port, leading to construction interruptions; while some upgraded equipment has speed adjustment capabilities, the anti-deposition structure is only a single spiral blade, which cannot completely solve the problem of corner deposition; the mixing chamber cover of existing equipment is mostly opened and closed manually, resulting in low operating efficiency and safety hazards.

[0031] 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.
[0032] Please see Figure 1-8 In this embodiment of the invention, an adjustable speed anti-settling mud mixer includes an operating platform 1, with a mud mixer 2 located at the rear of the operating platform 1; an anti-settling stirring paddle 3 is installed on the mud mixer 2.
[0033] The mud mixer 2 includes a mixer mounting frame 21, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the mixing chamber shell 22. Shell bearings 23 are fixedly installed on the outer sides of both ends of the mixing chamber shell 22. Bearing seats 24 are fixedly installed on both ends of the upper surface of the mixer mounting frame 21. The shell bearings 23 and bearing seats 24 are rotatably connected to both ends of the mixing main shaft 31. The left end of the mixing main shaft 31 is connected to a variable frequency reduction motor 25, which is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the left end of the mixer mounting frame 21.
[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, the high-efficiency linkage between the variable frequency reduction motor 25 and the variable frequency control box 12 enables a fast and smooth stepless speed regulation process, making speed adjustment more flexible and precise. This speed regulation method can accurately match the corresponding mixing process parameters according to the different mud composition and viscosity changes, thereby effectively improving the homogeneity and overall stability of the slurry and ensuring the high efficiency and reliability of the mixing process.
[0035] In this embodiment, the stirring main shaft 31 is provided with a spiral ribbon blade 32, and a connecting shaft 33 is installed through the stirring main shaft 31 in a rectangular array. Both ends of the connecting shaft 33 are provided with sliding cavities, the ends of the sliding cavities are provided with limiting baffles, and springs 34 are provided inside the sliding cavities.
[0036] The connecting shaft 33 has a sliding cavity that is slidably connected to the connecting rod 35. The tail of the connecting rod 35 is provided with a limiting seat, and the tail of the connecting rod 35 is in contact with the top of the spring 34. The top of the connecting rod 35 is fixedly connected to the bottom scraping and anti-deposition blade 36.
[0037] The bottom-scraping anti-deposition blade 36 and the ribbon blade 32 are arranged in a cross pattern, and the bottom-scraping anti-deposition blade 36 and the ribbon blade 32 are connected to the inner side of the mixing chamber shell 22; the bottom-scraping anti-deposition blade 36 is fitted and connected to the inside of the mixing chamber shell 22.
[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, the ribbon blade 32 and the bottom scraping and anti-deposition blade 36 are cross-coordinated. Through the synergistic action of the two blades during the stirring process, combined with the adaptive fitting structure provided by the spring 34, the contact pressure can be automatically adjusted according to the actual condition of the bottom of the mixing chamber shell 22. This effectively removes various deposited particles attached to the bottom and side walls, prevents hardening caused by long-term particle accumulation, and thus significantly reduces the equipment's operating resistance and wear risk, extends the equipment's service life, and improves the stirring efficiency.
[0039] In this embodiment, the rear upper surface of the mixing chamber shell 22 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the mixing chamber cover 27; opening and closing drive cylinders 26 are fixedly installed on the outer sides of both the left and right ends of the mixing chamber shell 22, and the upper end of the opening and closing drive cylinders 26 is connected to the outer sides of both the left and right ends of the mixing chamber cover 27.
[0040] The lower end of the mixing chamber shell 22 is provided with a discharge port 210. The lower end of the discharge port 210 is sealed and fixedly connected to the upper end of the unloader 29 through a connecting flange. The lower surface of the right end of the unloader 29 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support base 28. The right end of the support base 28 is connected to the mixer mounting frame 21.
[0041] The mixer mounting frame 21 is provided with an operating platform frame 11 on the front side, and a ladder is provided on the left end of the operating platform frame 11; a frequency conversion electrical control box 12 is installed on the operating platform frame 11.
[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the opening and closing drive cylinder 26 realizes the automatic opening and closing function of the mixing chamber cover 27 through its precise control system, thereby replacing the traditional manual operation method. This not only effectively improves the overall efficiency of the feeding process, but also significantly reduces the safety risks during operation. At the same time, the unloader 29 adopts a flange connection structure design. This design not only ensures the firmness and sealing of the connection, but also makes the disassembly and cleaning of the equipment more convenient and efficient, which helps to maintain the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
[0043] As a further explanation of this embodiment, in the mud mixing of pile foundations, diaphragm walls and drilling projects, it is necessary to add agents in most cases to adjust the mud properties, ensure the quality of trenching / hole formation, and prevent sedimentation and hole collapse.
[0044] Commonly used mud chemicals (must be added during mixing)
[0045] Bentonite can form the bulk of mud, providing viscosity, wall protection, and suspension capacity;
[0046] Soda ash (Na2CO3) is used to adjust the pH and disperse bentonite, making the slurry more uniform and less prone to separation.
[0047] Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) increases viscosity, reduces water loss, and enhances the ability to prevent sedimentation and suspend slag.
[0048] More specifically, the mud mixer 2 is equipped with a mechanical gripper 8 above it, which is installed in conjunction with the lifting mechanism 7; the lifting mechanism 7 is installed in conjunction with the transverse drive mechanism 6; the transverse drive mechanism 6 is fixed on the gantry frame 5; and a roller conveyor 4 is also provided below the gantry frame 5.
[0049] By adopting the above technical solution, the powder medicine bag is transported to the area below the mechanical gripper 8 via the roller conveyor 4. The mechanical gripper 8 descends and picks up the powder medicine bag under the drive of the lifting mechanism 7. Then, the lifting mechanism 7 moves laterally along the gantry frame 5 to the top of the mixing chamber under the drive of the transverse drive mechanism 6, and accurately puts the powder medicine bag into the mixing chamber, realizing the automated dosing of the medicine, further improving the efficiency and accuracy of the mud mixing process, and reducing the errors and risks that may be caused by manual operation.
[0050] The working principle of this invention is as follows: the operator sets process parameters such as stirring speed and time on the operating platform 1 through the variable frequency control box 12; the variable frequency control box 12 transmits the signal to the variable frequency reduction motor 25, and the motor outputs a steplessly adjustable speed according to the instruction;
[0051] The power of the variable frequency geared motor 25 is transmitted to the mixing main shaft 31 through a coupling; the two ends of the main shaft are supported by the housing bearing 23 and the bearing seat 24 to ensure stable rotation at different speeds; the system can automatically switch speeds for different stages of mud mixing; the mixing main shaft 31 drives the ribbon blades 32 to rotate, and the spiral structure of the ribbon pushes the slurry upward along the side wall of the tank and downward in the central area, forming an upward and downward convection circulation, so that the powder and water are initially mixed; the bottom scraping anti-deposition blades 36 are elastically connected to the spring 34 in the connecting shaft 33 through the connecting rod 35; when the main shaft rotates, the blades always adhere to the bottom and side wall of the mixing tank shell 22 under the combined action of centrifugal force and spring force; the ribbon blades 32 and the bottom scraping anti-deposition blades 36 are arranged in a cross pattern, and their rotation trajectories do not overlap; the ribbon blades are responsible for the overall convective mixing of the slurry, while the bottom scraping blades actively remove the corner deposits, avoid the particles from hardening at the bottom, and ensure that there are no dead corners in the entire tank;
[0052] Before feeding, the electric cylinder 26 extends and retracts to drive the mixing chamber cover 27 to flip upward and open. After feeding is completed, the electric cylinder retracts to close and seal the cover, preventing slurry from splashing during mixing. After mixing is completed, the unloader 29 starts and discharges the homogeneous slurry at a uniform speed through the discharge port 210.
[0053] Through the efficient linkage between the variable frequency geared motor 25 and the variable frequency electrical control box 12, a fast and smooth stepless speed regulation process can be achieved, making the speed adjustment more flexible and precise. This speed regulation method can accurately match the corresponding mixing process parameters according to the different mud composition and viscosity changes, thereby effectively improving the homogeneity and overall stability of the slurry and ensuring the efficiency and reliability of the mixing process.
[0054] The ribbon blade 32 and the bottom scraping anti-deposition blade 36 are cross-coordinated. Through the synergistic action of the two blades during the stirring process, combined with the adaptive fitting structure provided by the spring 34, the contact pressure can be automatically adjusted according to the actual condition of the bottom of the mixing chamber shell 22. This effectively removes various deposited particles attached to the bottom and side walls, prevents hardening caused by long-term accumulation of particles, thereby significantly reducing the equipment's operating resistance and wear risk, extending the equipment's service life and improving stirring efficiency.
[0055] The electric cylinder 26, through its precise control system, enables the automatic opening and closing of the mixing chamber cover 27, thereby replacing the traditional manual operation method. This not only effectively improves the overall efficiency of the feeding process but also significantly reduces the safety risks during operation. Meanwhile, the unloader 29 adopts a flange connection structure design, which not only ensures the firmness and sealing of the connection but also makes the disassembly and cleaning of the equipment more convenient and efficient, contributing to the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
[0056] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0057] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style of the specification is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
