[0020] 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. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] The present utility model provides two technical solutions:
[0022] Figures 1 - 4 The first implementation manner is shown: A mixing mechanism for NMP materials in a large storage tank, including a storage tank 1, and a circulation assembly 2 for mixing materials is arranged outside the storage tank 1; the circulation assembly 2 includes a circulation pump 21, the water inlet of the circulation pump 21 is installed with a discharge pipe 22, the end of the discharge pipe 22 penetrates to the inside along the tangent line on the left side of the storage tank 1, and the discharge pipe 22 is arranged at a position close to the bottom of the storage tank 1, the outlet of the circulation pump 21 is installed with a connecting pipe 23, and the outer wall of the connecting pipe 23 is fixedly communicated with a plurality of circulation pipes 25 at equal intervals, and the end of the circulation pipe 25 penetrates to the inside along the tangent line on the right side of the storage tank 1.
[0023] The top of the storage tank 1 is detachably installed with a maintenance cover 11, and the left outer wall of the storage tank 1 is installed with a feed pipe 12 near the top. When it is necessary to repair the storage tank 1, the maintenance cover 11 at the top of the storage tank 1 can be opened for operation, and the material enters the storage tank 1 through the feed pipe 12 on the left side of the storage tank 1.
[0024] A third valve 28 is provided at a position on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 23 below the circulating pipe 25. A discharge pipe 24 is provided on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 23 below the third valve 28. A second valve 27 is provided on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 24, and a first valve 26 is provided on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 22. When it is necessary to discharge the material, just close the third valve 28 and open the second valve 27 at the same time. When the circulating pump 21 needs to be maintained, close all the valves, and the circulating pump 21 can be disassembled for maintenance, so as to facilitate adjusting the valve state according to actual needs at different production stages and meet various operation requirements.
[0025] A middle shaft 3 is rotatably provided on the inner bottom surface of the storage tank 1. A plurality of U-shaped scrapers 31 are equidistantly installed on the outer wall of the middle shaft 3. The outer surface of the U-shaped scraper 31 is attached to the inner wall of the storage tank 1. The combination of the middle shaft 3 and the U-shaped scraper 31 can effectively scrape the material attached to the tank wall, preventing material precipitation and accumulation. This further improves the mixing effect, and at the same time increases the effective volume of the storage tank 1 and improves the storage efficiency.
[0026] Figures 1 - 4 The second embodiment is shown. The main difference from the first embodiment is that a rectangular frame 4 is installed on the front outer wall of the storage tank 1. A slot 41 is provided on the inner wall of the rectangular frame 4. A transparent explosion-proof glass 42 for observing the inside of the storage tank 1 is provided on the front side of the rectangular frame 4. The transparent explosion-proof glass 42 on the rectangular frame 4 provides an intuitive observation window for the operator, and the operator can understand the material situation inside the storage tank 1 at any time, which is convenient for timely discovering problems and taking corresponding measures.
[0027] A cleaning assembly 5 is provided on the outer surface of the rectangular frame 4. The cleaning assembly 5 includes a connecting plate 51 and a second strong magnet 55. The second strong magnet 55 is slidably arranged inside the slot 41. A handle 56 is installed on the front side of the second strong magnet 55. The connecting plate 51 is arranged behind the transparent explosion-proof glass 42, and the outer surface of the connecting plate 51 is in contact with the inner wall of the rectangular frame 4. Brush plates 52 are symmetrically installed on the front side of the connecting plate 51. Roller shafts 53 are symmetrically installed between the two brush plates 52 on the front side of the connecting plate 51. The roller shafts 53 are in contact with the rear side of the transparent explosion-proof glass 42. A first strong magnet 54 is installed between the two roller shafts 53 on the front side of the connecting plate 51. The first strong magnet 54 and the second strong magnet 55 attract each other across the transparent explosion-proof glass 42. By pulling the handle 56 to drive the second strong magnet 55, and then attracting the connecting plate 51 to move through the first strong magnet 54, the brush plates 52 and the roller shafts 53 clean the transparent explosion-proof glass 42, and the operation is simple and convenient.
[0028] At the same time, the content not described in detail in this specification belongs to the well-known prior art in the art.
[0029] When the NMP material in the storage tank 1 needs to be mixed, the circulation pump 21 in the circulation component 2 is started. At this time, the material is extracted through the discharge pipe 22. After passing through the circulation pump 21, the material enters the connecting pipe 23 and is divided into multiple circulation pipes 25. The material enters the storage tank 1 from these circulation pipes 25. Since it enters tangentially, the material forms a rotating flow in the storage tank 1. This tangential entry method allows the material to fully flow and mix in the tank, breaking the stratification phenomenon of the material, allowing materials of different densities and viscosities to fully blend, ensuring that the material is evenly distributed in the entire storage tank 1. At the same time, the material does not rely on traditional stirring blades during the circulation mixing process, and will not directly bear the huge reaction force of the material like the stirring blades, thereby effectively reducing the risk of equipment damage. This not only reduces the cost of frequent maintenance and replacement of parts due to equipment damage, but also improves the reliability and service life of the equipment, and ensures the continuity of production;
[0030] As the material rotates and flows, the multiple U-shaped scrapers 31 on the intermediate shaft 3 will rotate with the flow of the material. The outer surface of the U-shaped scraper 31 fits against the inner wall of the storage tank 1, which can scrape off the material attached to the tank wall, further preventing the material from settling and accumulating, and improving the mixing effect.
[0031] The transparent explosion-proof glass 42 installed on the rectangular frame 4 can be used to conveniently observe the mixing of materials inside the storage tank 1, so as to find problems in time and take corresponding measures. When the transparent explosion-proof glass 42 needs to be cleaned, by pulling the handle 56 on the front side of the second strong magnet 55 in the slot 41, the first strong magnet 54 and the second strong magnet 55 attract each other through the transparent explosion-proof glass 42, which will drive the roller 53 on the connecting plate 51 to roll up and down on the surface of the transparent explosion-proof glass 42, so that the brush plate 52 can brush the transparent explosion-proof glass 42, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the transparent explosion-proof glass 42 and ensuring the accuracy of observation.
