[0034] The embodiments of the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] See Figures 1 - 3 , a vacuum emulsifying machine for gel production, comprising an upper pot body 101 and a lower pot body 102 for mounting on a bracket. A discharge pipe is provided at the bottom end of the lower pot body 102. The vacuum emulsifying machine further comprises a mixing device 103 and a cleaning mechanism 104. The mixing device 103 is mounted on the upper pot body 101 and is used for mixing and dispersing materials;

[0036] The cleaning mechanism 104 includes a scraping plate 106 and an air ring 107. The air ring 107 is mounted on the upper pot body 101. An air cavity is provided inside the air ring 107. A plurality of air holes 122 communicating with the air cavity are provided on the side surface of the air ring 107. An air pump is mounted on the upper pot body 101. The output end of the air pump is connected to an air delivery pipe 105. The air cavity is connected to the air pump through the air delivery pipe 105;

[0037] The scraping plate 106 is mounted at the bottom end of the mixing device 103 and is used for cleaning the inner wall of the lower pot body 102.

[0038] In this embodiment, a vacuum pump is installed on the upper pot body 101. After the upper pot body 101 and the lower pot body 102 are connected, the vacuum pump is started to form a vacuum state inside the upper pot body 101 and the lower pot body 102, so that no bubbles are generated during the shearing and emulsification of the raw materials in the lower pot body 102 by the mixing device 103, further improving the quality of the product. The scraping plate 106 fits against the inner wall of the lower pot body 102, and the plurality of air holes 122 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the air ring 107. A switch valve for controlling the opening or closing of the discharge pipe is installed on the discharge pipe. After the materials in the lower pot body 102 are emulsified, the switch valve controls the opening of the discharge pipe, so that the materials in the lower pot body 102 can flow downward through the discharge pipe. During the discharging process, by starting the air pump, the outside air can be input into the air cavity 108 through the air delivery pipe 105 under the action of the air pump. The air entering the air cavity 108 is introduced into the closed area formed between the materials in the lower pot body 102 and the upper pot body 101 through the plurality of air holes 122 communicating with the air cavity 108. As the air pressure in the closed area increases, it can accelerate the pushing of the materials in the lower pot body 102 to flow downward from the discharge pipe, thereby further improving the discharging effect of the bottom gel and improving the discharging efficiency. The air ring 107 can stably pressurize the closed area through the plurality of air holes 122 communicating with the air cavity 108, avoiding the excessive force generated when the gas at a single input position directly contacts the viscous materials in the lower pot body 102, which may cause the deformation or splashing of the materials and affect the discharging efficiency and discharging effect of the materials. By setting the mixing device 103, the materials in the lower pot body 102 can be mixed and dispersed. After most of the materials in the lower pot body 102 are discharged from the lower pot body 102 through the discharge pipe, some materials will adhere to the inner wall of the lower pot body 102 during the discharging process. The scraping plate 106 connected to the bottom end of the mixing device 103 can clean the inner wall of the lower pot body 102, avoiding the waste of the materials remaining in the lower pot body 102 or affecting the quality of the next emulsification. In this embodiment, the air pump, the vacuum pump and the switch valve are all conventional devices in the prior art, and their structures and functions will not be elaborated one by one here.

[0039] In some embodiments, a second telescopic device 110 is installed on the lower pot body 102, and the second telescopic device 110 is used to drive the upper pot body 101 to move vertically. After the second telescopic device 110 drives the upper pot body 101 to move upward, the gap formed between the upper pot body 101 and the lower pot body 102 after the movement can be used to add materials to the lower pot body 102.

[0040] In some embodiments, a sealing groove 111 is provided on the lower pot body 102, and a sealing block 112 for cooperating with the sealing groove 111 is connected to the upper pot body 101. When the second telescopic device 110 drives the upper pot body 101 to move downward, the sealing block 112 moves with the upper pot body 101 into the sealing groove 111 and contacts the sealing groove 111; through the cooperation of the sealing block 112 and the sealing groove 111, the contact area between the upper pot body 101 and the lower pot body 102 can be increased, making the installation of the upper pot body 101 more stable and at the same time closing the gap formed between the upper pot body 101 and the lower pot body 102; in this embodiment, the sealing groove 111 is an annular groove, and the sealing block 112 is made of rubber material.

[0041] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the sealing block 112 is a trapezoid with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part. By making the cross-section of the sealing block 112 a trapezoid with a smaller upper part and a larger lower part, the sealing effect of the sealing block 112 on the gap formed between the upper pot body 101 and the lower pot body 102 can be further increased.

This process forms a special flow pattern to achieve powder-liquid mixing and dispersion; when the shearing component 114 rotates, it can drive the scraping plate 106 to rotate, so as to scrape the viscous material remaining on the inner wall of the lower pot body 102.

[0044] In some embodiments, the fixing component 113 includes a fixing frame 116 and a connecting cylinder 117. The fixing frame 116 is fixedly connected to the upper pot body 101. The connecting cylinder 117 is installed at one end of the fixing frame 116 away from the upper pot body 101. A plurality of filter holes 115 are provided on the connecting cylinder 117.

The bottom end of the rotating shaft 118 passes through the bottom end of the connecting cylinder 117 and extends outside the connecting cylinder 117. The scraping plate 106 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 118. The rotating shaft 118 is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving motor 119. When the driving motor 119 drives the rotating shaft 118 to rotate, during the process of the shearing blades running at high speed along with the rotating shaft 118, the material in the lower pot body 102 flows into the connecting cylinder 117 under the action of the shearing blades, and part of the material is ejected through the filter holes 115 after colliding with the connecting cylinder 117 under the shearing of the shearing blades, and the other part of the material flows to the bottom and side walls of the lower pot body 102 and is dispersed after colliding with the bottom and side walls of the lower pot body 102; a first support rod 120 is connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 118, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 118 is fixedly connected to the scraping plate 106 through the first support rod 120; the bottom end of the rotating shaft 118 is rotatably connected to the connecting cylinder 117, and when the rotating shaft 118 rotates, it can drive the scraping plate 106 to rotate, so as to scrape the viscous material remaining on the inner wall of the lower pot body 102; after the second telescopic device 110 drives the upper pot body 101 to move vertically upward, the scraping plate 106 moves upward together with the rotating shaft 118 outside the lower pot body 102, which is convenient for the operator to clean the material remaining on the mixing device 103 and the scraping plate 106.

[0046] In some embodiments, the connecting cylinder 117 is detachably connected to the fixing frame 116. The connecting cylinder 117 is detachably connected to the fixing frame 116 through bolts, so as to facilitate the cleaning or replacement of the connecting cylinder 117.
