Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of homogenizing mixers, in particular to a feeding structure of a homogenizing mixer. Background Art

[0002] Homogenizer is a stirring device commonly used in the production of daily chemical products. Its main function is to evenly mix raw materials of different ingredients to achieve the desired homogenization effect. This equipment is usually used in the production process of products such as lotions, creams, shampoos, and detergents to ensure the stability and consistency of the products.

[0003] In the traditional homogenizer design, in order to facilitate the addition of solid or liquid raw materials during the mixing process, a feeding funnel is usually installed on the side wall of the homogenizer. The function of the feeding funnel is to conveniently add the required materials into the water injection pipe through its opening.

[0004] However, conventional feeding funnels are just ordinary funnels and have many disadvantages. First, the problem of uneven feeding is particularly prominent. Due to the simple design of the funnel, the material is prone to uneven distribution when entering the water injection pipe, resulting in poor mixing effect. Secondly, ordinary funnels are prone to clogging during use, especially when the added material is large particles or viscous liquids, the clogging phenomenon is more serious. This not only affects production efficiency, but may also cause unplanned equipment downtime and increase maintenance costs.

[0005] These limitations of the feeding funnel directly lead to a series of problems. Uneven feeding can easily lead to material waste, because some materials cannot be fully mixed, thus affecting the quality of the product. Uneven mixing may also lead to inconsistent product performance, which in turn affects the market competitiveness and consumer satisfaction of the final product. In addition, production interruptions caused by funnel blockage not only increase the complexity of equipment maintenance, but may also have an adverse effect on production progress and affect overall production efficiency.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to further improve and perfect the prior art to overcome these deficiencies, and the present invention is made based on this situation. Utility Model Content

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0020] 1. The utility model utilizes the Bernoulli principle, that is, when the liquid flows faster, the pressure in the flow area will decrease. When the water flow velocity inside the water injection pipe is high, a low pressure area will be generated in the pipe.

[0022] The specific implementation of the utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

[0023] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the utility model;

[0024] Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of point A in the middle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0026] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 The feeding structure of a homogenizing mixer shown in the figure comprises a homogenizing tank 1, and a water injection pipe 2 is provided on the top of the homogenizing tank 1. In order to facilitate the addition of solid or liquid raw materials during the mixing process, a feeding pipe 3 is opened on the side wall of the water injection pipe 2, and a first feeding interface 4 is provided at the upper end of the feeding pipe 3, and a feeding funnel 5 is installed at the first feeding interface 4.

[0027] This design makes full use of the Bernoulli principle, that is, when the liquid flows faster, the pressure in the flow area will decrease. When the water flow velocity inside the water injection pipe 2 is high, a low-pressure area will be generated in the pipe. The appearance of this low-pressure area can effectively suck the material in the feeding funnel 5 into the water injection pipe 2 through the feeding pipe 3, and then enter the homogenizing tank 1 along with the water flow, thereby achieving uniform mixing of the material.

[0028] Specifically, when the operator pours solid or liquid raw materials into the feeding funnel 5, the raw materials will be sucked into the water injection pipe 2 through the feeding pipe 3 due to the negative pressure generated by the water flow in the water injection pipe 2, and enter the homogenizing tank 1 under the push of the water flow. This design not only simplifies the operation process, but also greatly improves the mixing efficiency and ensures the uniform distribution of the raw materials.

[0029] In addition, in order to prevent the problem of water backwash at the moment of water flow, that is, the water flow reversely impacts the feeding funnel 5 and flushes out the materials therein, the feeding structure can also be designed with some additional protection measures, namely, a backwash protection structure 6.

[0030] In traditional designs, homogenizers often encounter a backwash problem when starting the water addition process. Specifically, when the water is first passed through the water injection pipe, the water flows into the water injection pipe at a high speed, causing a sharp change in the pressure in the pipe. Due to this instantaneous pressure change, the water flow may reversely impact the feeding funnel, flushing the material in the feeding funnel, causing a series of problems such as material waste, uneven mixing, and pollution of the production environment.

[0031] Therefore, the utility model designs a recoil protection structure 6. The recoil protection structure 6 includes a pilot tube 61 connected between the feeding tube 3 and the water injection pipe 2 and communicating the two. A piston 62 that can slide therein is provided in the pilot tube 61, and a protection valve block 63 is connected to the piston 62. The protection valve block 63 can withdraw from or extend into the feeding tube 3, thereby realizing the opening and closing control of the feeding tube 3.

[0032] The recoil protection structure 6 of this design can effectively prevent water from backwashing to the feeding pipe 3 at the initial stage of water injection, avoid the material from being flushed out in the reverse direction, and ensure the continuity and stability of the material adding process. In this way, not only the safety and reliability of the feeding process are improved, but also the overall performance of the homogenizer is optimized.

[0033] Specifically, when water is first passed, water flows into the pilot tube 61 at high speed, pushing the piston 62 to move toward the feeding tube 3. The piston 62 drives the connected protection valve block 63 to move together, so that the protection valve block 63 extends into the feeding tube 3, forming a physical barrier to block the backwash water flow. This mechanism ensures that at the moment of water passing, the feeding tube 3 will not be affected by the backwash of the high-pressure water flow, thereby avoiding the waste of materials and damage to the equipment.

[0034] In addition, the design of the recoil protection structure 6 also takes into account the simplicity of the structure and the ease of operation. The matching design of the piston 62 and the protection valve block 63 enables it to automatically open and close under the action of water flow without additional manual intervention or complex control systems, thereby improving the automation and ease of operation of the equipment.

[0035] By introducing this recoil protection structure 6, the homogenizer can maintain an efficient and stable working state under various operating conditions. This design is not only suitable for the development of new homogenizers, but also can be applied to the upgrading and transformation of existing equipment, and has broad application prospects and practical value.

[0036] More specifically, an elastic reset member 64 is provided between the protection valve block 63 and the feeding pipe 3 for elastically pressing the protection valve block 63 outward to separate it from the feeding pipe 3. The elastic reset member 64 is preferably a spring, and its function is to reset the protection valve block 63. In normal use, under the action of the elastic reset member 64, the protection valve block 63 withdraws from the feeding pipe 3 to conduct the feeding pipe 3.

[0037] The setting of the elastic reset member 64 enables the protection valve block 63 to quickly return to its initial position after the water flow pressure disappears, ensuring that the normal passage of the feeding pipe 3 is not affected. Specifically, when the water flow speed in the water injection pipe 2 slows down or stops, the water flow pressure in the pilot pipe 61 also decreases or disappears, and the piston 62 gradually returns to its original position under the action of the elastic reset member 64, while driving the protection valve block 63 to withdraw from the feeding pipe 3. At this time, the feeding pipe 3 is reopened, and the material can smoothly pass through the feeding pipe 3 into the water injection pipe 2, realizing normal feeding operation.

[0038] It is worth noting that, in addition to the structure described in detail above, the recoil protection structure 6 can also install a one-way valve between the feeding pipe 3 and the feeding funnel 5 to ensure that the material can only enter the water injection pipe 2 in one direction and will not be flushed out in the reverse direction. Alternatively, a buffer zone can be set in the water injection pipe 2 to slow down the change in water flow speed and avoid instantaneous water pressure shock.

[0039] Preferably, the feeding funnel 5 is detachably connected to the first feeding interface 4. The detachable connection method here can adopt various designs such as threaded connection, snap connection or quick-release clamp, so that the operator can easily install and remove the feeding funnel 5 during actual use.

[0040] More specifically, the first feeding interface 4 is provided with a first interface valve 41, and the lower opening of the feeding funnel 5 is provided with a hopper valve 51. The design purpose of these two valves is to provide more precise and safe material control, ensuring that the material flow can be effectively managed during the feeding and stopping of feeding.

[0041] The first interface valve 41 is set so that before the feeding funnel 5 is installed on the first feeding interface 4, the valve can be closed first to prevent the material from flowing into the system in advance and causing unnecessary waste or pollution. After the installation is completed, the operator can open the first interface valve 41 as needed to control the inflow of materials. If the feeding funnel 5 needs to be replaced or cleaned, the feeding funnel 5 can be safely disassembled by simply closing the first interface valve 41 to avoid material leakage.

[0042] The hopper valve 51 is located at the lower opening of the feeding hopper 5, which can further control the discharge of the material. Before the feeding hopper 5 is installed on the first feeding interface 4, the operator can close the hopper valve 51 to ensure that the material does not flow out in advance. When feeding is needed, the hopper valve 51 is opened to allow the material to enter the first feeding interface 4 smoothly. In this way, not only can the feeding process be better controlled, but also material waste and system pollution can be effectively prevented, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the entire operation process.

[0043] More specifically, the diameter of the pilot tube 61 is larger than the diameter of the feeding tube 3. Such a design helps the water flow to provide sufficient pressure in the process of pushing the piston 62 when entering the pilot tube 61. The larger diameter of the pilot tube 61 can accommodate more water flow, so that sufficient pressure can be quickly established during the initial water flow, pushing the piston 62 forward, driving the protection valve block 63 to extend into the feeding tube 3, and blocking the backwash water flow.

[0044] More specifically, a second feeding interface 7 is provided on the top of the homogenizing tank 1, and the size of the second feeding interface 7 is the same as that of the first feeding interface 4. Such a design allows the feeding funnel 5 to be interchangeably installed between the first feeding interface 4 and the second feeding interface 7, providing greater flexibility and convenience. When feeding is required from different positions, the operator does not need to replace the feeding funnels of different sizes, but only needs to move the same feeding funnel 5 from one interface to another, which greatly simplifies the operation process, reduces the equipment adjustment time, and improves work efficiency.

[0045] More specifically, a second interface valve 71 is further provided at the second feeding interface 7. The second interface valve 71 is provided similarly to the first interface valve 41, and is intended to control the inflow and outflow of materials through the second feeding interface 7. In actual operation, the operator can close or open the second interface valve 71 as needed to accurately control the feeding process of the material. In particular, when replacing the feeding funnel 5 or performing cleaning work, closing the second interface valve 71 can effectively prevent material leakage and ensure the safety and cleanliness of the operation.

[0046] More specifically, a flip-over protective cover 52 is provided on the top of the feeding funnel 5. The purpose of the design of the protective cover 52 is to protect the inside of the feeding funnel 5 from dust, impurities and external pollution when the feeding funnel 5 is not in use. The protective cover 52 can be easily flipped over. When feeding is required, the operator only needs to flip over the protective cover 52 to pour the material into the feeding funnel 5; after the feeding is completed, it is flipped back to its original position to cover the top of the feeding funnel 5. This design not only protects the purity of the material, but also prevents foreign matter from entering the feeding system, thereby ensuring the operating stability of the equipment and the product quality.
