Detailed Implementation Modes

[0023] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , in the embodiment of the present utility model, an additive mixing device for laundry detergent production includes a mixing device body 100. The mixing device body 100 includes a cover 110, a mixing barrel 120, and a cleaning mechanism 160. A feeding port is opened on the top surface of the cover 110. An inlet hopper 111 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cover 110 at the position of the feeding port. A motor 130 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cover 110. The motor shaft of the motor 130 is drivingly connected to a transmission shaft 112. The outer wall of the transmission shaft 112 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the cover 110. A fixing member 140 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transmission shaft 112. A square groove 141 is opened on the bottom surface of the fixing member 140. A stirring mechanism 150 is detachably fixed in the square groove 141. An outlet is opened on the bottom surface of the mixing barrel 120. The outlet communicates with an outlet pipe 124. An electromagnetic valve 125 is installed on the outer wall of the outlet pipe 124. Thread grooves are opened on the outer wall of the mixing barrel 120 near the top end and the inner wall of the cover 110. The mixing barrel 120 and the cover 110 are screwed together at the positions where the thread grooves are opened. An installation frame 121 is sleeved and fixed on the outer wall of the mixing barrel 120. Three support legs 122 are fixedly arranged at equal angles on the bottom surface of the installation frame 121. The bottom ends of the three support legs 122 are fixedly connected with foot pads 123.

[0025] Specifically, by screwing the cover 110 and the mixing barrel 120 together, the device is convenient to open and clean. When in use, the laundry detergent raw materials and various additives are put into the mixing barrel 120 through the inlet hopper 111. Then, the motor shaft of the motor 130 is driven to drive the transmission shaft 112, so that the transmission shaft 112 drives the stirring mechanism 150 to rotate. The rotating annular brush 166 will stir the liquid inside the mixing barrel 120 to make it fully mixed. A transparent observation window can be arranged on the outer wall of the mixing barrel 120 to facilitate observing the mixing situation. The installation frame 121, the support legs 122, and the foot pads 123 support the mixing barrel 120 to ensure its stability during stirring and prevent it from tipping over. When the liquid inside the mixing barrel 120 is mixed, the electromagnetic valve 125 can be opened to make the laundry detergent flow out from the outlet pipe 124. Then, the cover 110 and the mixing barrel 120 can be disassembled, the stirring mechanism 150 can be removed, the cleaning mechanism 160 can be installed on the fixing member 140, and the cover 110 and the mixing barrel 120 can be closed to make the cleaning mechanism 160 automatically clean the inside of the mixing barrel 120.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] As Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the stirring mechanism 150 includes a stirring shaft 151. A plurality of connecting sleeves 152 are detachably fixed to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 151 at equal distances by screws. Stirring blades 155 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of the plurality of connecting sleeves 152. A square block one 153 is fixedly connected to the top end of the stirring shaft 151. One set of two symmetric side walls of the stirring mechanism 150 are both fixedly connected with strip blocks one 154. The square block one 153 is slidably inserted into the square groove 141.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the motor shaft of the driving motor 130 drives the transmission shaft 112, the plurality of stirring blades 155 are fixed on the stirring shaft 151 by the connecting sleeves 152 and rotate together with the stirring shaft 151. The shape and number of the stirring blades 155 can be designed according to specific stirring requirements and process characteristics. For example, the stirring blades 155 may be flat, spiral or other special shapes to adapt to different mixing and stirring tasks. When rotating, the stirring blades 155 will push the raw materials and additives from the bottom of the mixing barrel 120 upwards, and at the same time generate shear force and eddy currents, thereby achieving the effect of mixing and stirring, which helps to accelerate the mixing speed between the raw materials and additives and improve the mixing uniformity.

[0029] As Figures 5 - 6 shown, in this embodiment, vertical grooves 142 are provided at positions corresponding to the two strip blocks one 154 on the bottom surface of the fixing member 140. Cavities are provided on the inner walls of the fixing member 140 at the positions where the two vertical grooves 142 are provided. Plug columns 144 are slidably connected in the two cavities. A slider is fixedly connected to the side wall of the plug column 144 near the end. A chute 143 is provided at the position of the fixing member 140 corresponding to the path of the slider. A button 145 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slider. A first reset spring 146 is fixedly connected to the end of the plug column 144 near the button 145. The other end of the first reset spring 146 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity. A spring hole is provided on the bottom surface of the plug column 144 at a position far from the first reset spring 146. A second reset spring 148 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the spring hole. The other end of the second reset spring 148 is fixedly connected to a convex column 147. A snap hole that engages with the convex column 147 is provided at the position of the bottom surface of the fixing member 140 corresponding to the convex column 147.

[0030] During specific implementation, the first square block 153 is fitted into the square groove 141, and the two first strip-shaped blocks 154 are respectively clamped by the two plugging columns 144, so that the entire stirring mechanism 150 can be fixed on the fixing member 140. When the stirring mechanism 150 needs to be replaced, press the two convex columns 147 to make the convex columns 147 contract into the spring holes and no longer be clamped with the buckle holes on the bottom surface of the fixing member 140. At this time, the button 145 can be held down and pushed towards the first return spring 146, so that the plugging columns 144 contract and are located in the cavity at the position of the sliding groove 143, and no longer block the first strip-shaped blocks 154. At this time, the entire stirring mechanism 150 can be disassembled, which is convenient for disassembly and improves the efficiency of replacement and maintenance. When the stirring mechanism 150 needs to be installed, similarly hold down the two buttons 145 and push them towards the first return spring 146 to expose the vertical groove 142. Align the two first strip-shaped blocks 154 with the vertical groove 142 and embed the first square block 153 into the square groove 141. Release the button 145, and the rebounding first return spring 146 will drive the plugging columns 144 to extend forward until they are embedded in the cavity on the other side to fasten the first strip-shaped blocks 154. At the same time, the convex columns 147 will also protrude from the buckle holes under the elastic force of the second return spring 148 to prevent the plugging columns 144 from opening by themselves during stirring.

[0031] Embodiment 2

[0032] As Figure 4 shown, in this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 160 includes a lead screw 161. The top end of the lead screw 161 is fixedly connected with a second square block 168. One set of two symmetric side walls of the second square block 168 are both fixedly connected with second strip-shaped blocks 169. The second square block 168, the second strip-shaped blocks 169, the first square block 153, and the first square block 153 are of the same size. The outer wall of the lead screw 161 is screwed with a hollow disk 162. The outer wall of the hollow disk 162 is fixedly provided with a number of nozzles 163 at equal angles. The top surface and the bottom surface of the hollow disk 162 are both fixedly provided with a number of connecting rods 164 at equal angles. The number of connecting rods 164 located at the top surface and the bottom surface positions of the hollow disk 162 are all fixedly connected with fixing rings 165. The outer walls of the two fixing rings 165 are both fixedly connected with annular brushes 166. The bottom end of the lead screw 161 is fixedly connected with a limit block. Two round rods 167 slide symmetrically on the top surface of the hollow disk 162. Two plugging holes are symmetrically fixed on the inner top surface of the cover 110. The top ends of the two round rods 167 are respectively plugged and fixed in the plugging holes. The top surface of the hollow disk 162 is communicated with a water pipe.

[0033] In specific implementation, when it is necessary to clean the inside of the mixing device, first disassemble the stirring mechanism 150 from the fixing member 140 according to the steps in the first embodiment. Subsequently, align and insert the second square block 168 and the second strip block 169 into the square groove 141 and the vertical groove 142, and use the insertion column 144 to fix the two together. When the second square block 168 is inserted into the square groove 141, the tops of the two round rods 167 will also be respectively inserted into the two insertion holes on the inner top surface of the cover 110. Then, screw the cover 110 and the mixing barrel 120 together. Extend the other end of the water pipe connected to the hollow disk 162 out of the top of the feed hopper 111 and connect it to a water pump. Turn on the water pump, and water will flow into the hollow disk 162 along the water pipe and be sprayed onto the inner wall of the mixing barrel 120 from several nozzles 163 to wash the residual laundry detergent on the inner wall of the mixing barrel 120. At the same time, the motor shaft of the driving motor 130 drives the transmission shaft 112, so that the transmission shaft 112 drives the screw rod 161 to rotate. The two round rods 167 are used to prevent the hollow disk 162 from rotating with the screw rod 161. Therefore, when the screw rod 161 rotates, the hollow disk 162 will drive the two fixing rings 165 to move up and down reciprocally, so that while the nozzles 163 are washing the inner wall of the mixing barrel 120, the two annular brushes 166 are also brushing the inner wall of the mixing barrel 120. The residual laundry detergent will be carried by the water flow and flow out from the discharge pipe 124 under the action of the nozzles 163 and the annular brushes 166, avoiding the inconvenience of manual brushing and improving the efficiency of cleaning the mixing device.
