Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a lifting and lowering stirring device suitable for IBC barreled materials. Background Art

[0002] An IBC ton barrel refers to a medium-sized bulk container with a large volume and good load-bearing performance. It is a common tool in the storage, transshipment, and logistics transportation of liquid products. The container body is generally made of high-molecular polyethylene material and formed into a block-shaped structure through a blow molding process. This not only provides sufficient structural strength and load-bearing performance, but also has corrosion resistance. It can meet the load-bearing storage and transportation requirements of different industrial materials. It can not only be stacked for palletizing, but also support the storage and transportation of hazardous chemicals. Due to the large size of some IBC barrels, a metal frame is installed on the outside for protection to improve the structural strength and avoid damage after impact. Using IBC barrels for material packaging and storage and transportation can significantly reduce the costs related to production, storage, transportation, and operation, thereby saving a lot of manpower and material resources.

[0003] After the IBC barrel is loaded with materials, when mixing is required, a stirring device is generally inserted directly into the barrel for stirring. It is difficult to locate the stirring center, which affects the stirring effect. In addition, the stability of the stirring device during operation is also weak, posing a safety hazard.

It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" or "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a product or device comprising a series of components or units is not necessarily limited to those components or units clearly listed, but may include other components or components that are not clearly listed or that are inherent to these products or devices.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 , a liftable stirring device suitable for IBC barreled materials, includes a device body, which has a work station for placing the IBC barrel 900. The IBC barrel 900 is moved to the work station by a forklift or other transfer tool to perform stirring operations such as material mixing.

[0036] The device body includes a stirring assembly 100, a support assembly 200 and a lifting assembly 300. The stirring assembly 100 is connected to the support assembly 200 through the lifting assembly 300. After the stirring assembly 100 and the lifting assembly 300 are erected by the support assembly 200, they have better stability during operation and can also make it easier to find the stirring center position during the stirring operation.

[0037] The stirring assembly 100 has a stirring head 101, which is driven by the lifting assembly to descend and then extend into the IBC barrel 900 to stir the material therein;

[0038] The support assembly 200 has a blocking rod 201, which is convenient for preventing the transfer tool from continuously placing the IBC barrel and causing the barrel to exceed the position limit during the placement process of the IBC barrel. It also plays a certain protective role to prevent the goods or people on the side of the blocking rod from being injured.

[0039] The present invention sets the stirring assembly according to the following structure: In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the stirring assembly includes a stirring motor 1001, a stirring rod 1002, a paddle 1003 and a motor mounting plate 1004.

[0040] The motor mounting plate 1004 is fixedly connected to the lifting assembly 300.

[0041] The stirring motor 1001 is fixed on the motor mounting plate 1004.

[0042] The stirring rod 1002 is connected to the rotating shaft of the stirring motor 1001.

[0043] The paddle 1003 is connected to the shaft of the stirring rod 1002;

[0044] The stirring rod 1002 and the paddle 1003 constitute the stirring head 101 .

[0045] When the utility model is working, when the telescopic end of the lifting assembly is extended or retracted, it drives the motor mounting plate to move up and down, thereby driving the blades, stirring rod and stirring motor to move up and down. When the IBC barrel is not in place, lift the stirring assembly to a high position, such as Figure 3As shown, after the IBC barrel 900 is in place, the stirring assembly is driven down, so that the stirring rod and the blade are extended into the IBC barrel to perform the stirring operation. This can not only accurately control the insertion position of the blade, but also accurately locate the stirring center, thereby improving the quality of the stirring operation. Figure 4 It is shown that the mixing head has been lowered to a low position and the blade 1003 has been extended into the IBC barrel 900.

[0046] In some preferred embodiments, the stirring motor 1001 adopts a variable frequency motor, so that it has better stirring precision control capability.

[0047] In some preferred embodiments, the paddle 1003 is a foldable structure, consisting of multiple foldable sheet-like structures that are pivotally connected to the stirring rod 1002 (the paddles are shown in the unfolded state in the illustrated structure), and can be folded relative to the stirring rod 1002. When the paddle 1003 is up, its sheet-like structure is perpendicular to the stirring rod 1002. When it is down, the sheet-like structure fits snugly against the stirring rod 1002. During maintenance operations such as equipment overhaul, the paddle can be folded to fit snugly against the stirring rod, preventing the blade's edge from interfering with maintenance work and eliminating potential safety hazards.

[0048] The present invention sets the bracket assembly according to the following structure: In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bracket assembly 200 includes two base plates 202 and a connecting plate 203. The same-direction ends of the two base plates 202 are connected to each other through the connecting plate 203 to play the role of reinforcing the structure;

[0049] The blocking rod 201 is fixed on the connecting plate 203;

[0050] The lifting assembly 300 is fixedly connected to the base plate 202 .

[0051] The utility model sets the lifting assembly according to the following structure: In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the lifting assembly 300 includes two lifting cylinders 301 spaced apart, with their telescopic rods connected upwardly to the stirring assembly 100. The cylinder bodies of the lifting cylinders 301 are fixedly connected to the bracket assembly 200. During the present invention, the telescopic rods of the two lifting cylinders 301 are connected to and fixed to the ends of the motor mounting plate 1004; the cylinder bodies are fixed to the base plate 202 of the bracket assembly, thereby forming a space directly below the stirring motor 1001 for placing an IBC.

[0052] In order to maintain the stability of the lifting cylinder during lifting, the present invention can be configured as follows: In some embodiments, such as Figure 1As shown, a lifting stabilization component 500 is provided corresponding to any lifting cylinder. The lifting stabilization component 500 provides sufficient support and a stable structure when the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder is extended or retracted.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the lifting and stabilizing component 500 is located on one side of the lifting cylinder 301.

[0054] The lower end of the lifting and stabilizing component 500 is connected to the bracket component 200 , and the upper end is connected to the stirring component 100 .

[0055] The utility model realizes the lifting and stabilizing assembly according to the following structure, so that it can be extended and retracted synchronously with the lifting and lowering of the lifting cylinder to maintain the stability of the lifting assembly: In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the lifting and stabilizing component 500 includes a fixed part 501 and a telescopic part 502. One end of the fixed part 501 is connected to the bracket assembly and fixed on the base plate 202 of the bracket assembly, and the other end has an opening for the telescopic part 502 to extend into its inner cavity. One end of the telescopic part 502 extends into the inner cavity of the fixed part 501, and the other end is connected to the stirring assembly and fixed on its motor mounting plate 1004.

[0056] After being arranged as described above, the telescopic portion 502 can be telescoped in the inner cavity of the fixed portion 501 .

[0057] Based on the above examples, in order to further improve the stability during lifting, the present invention can be configured as follows: In some preferred embodiments, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, a lifting stabilization component 500 is provided on both opposite sides of any lifting cylinder 301 .

[0058] Based on the above examples, in order to maintain the smooth performance of the lifting and stabilizing component during lifting, the present invention can be configured as follows: In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, a linear bearing 503 is provided at the opening of the fixing portion 501 .

[0059] In order to prevent the IBC from exceeding the limit when being delivered to the mixing station by a transportation tool such as a forklift, the present invention can be arranged according to the following structure: In some embodiments, the device body includes an in-place detection component, which is arranged on the bracket assembly to detect whether the IBC barrel is in place when placed to avoid exceeding the limit.

[0060] Based on the above examples, the present invention is configured as follows to achieve a warning effect when an IBC barrel exceeds the limit during placement: In some embodiments,

[0061] The in-place detection component includes a travel switch 401 and an alarm module (not shown in the figure). The travel switch 401 is connected to the alarm module and is arranged on the stop rod 201. Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the limit switch 401 is fixed to the vertical rod of the stop bar 201, with its trigger end tilted toward the workstation. When the IBC barrel 900 is transported to the workstation via a forklift or other transport tool and exceeds the limit, the barrel body contacts and pushes the trigger end ball of the limit switch 401, causing the limit switch 401 to generate a trigger signal to the alarm module, triggering it to sound an alarm. Since the connection between the limit switch and the alarm module is a prior art, it is not described in detail in this utility model. The alarm module can be an audible and visual alarm, which can be fixed to the bracket assembly, the motor mounting plate, the fixed portion of the lifting and stabilizing assembly, or the stop bar.

[0062] In other embodiments, a non-contact sensing unit may also be used to implement the detection function of the first in-place detection module. For example, when the IBC barrel adopts a frame-type integrated structure (under this structure, a metal frame is provided on the outside of the IBC barrel), a magnetic induction sensor may be used to detect the position of the IBC barrel by detecting the metal frame outside the barrel when the barrel is transported to the mixing station by a forklift or other means of transportation, thereby determining whether it exceeds the limit.

[0063] Based on the above examples, the present invention can be configured as follows to prevent the IBC bucket from exceeding the limit in the left and right positions perpendicular to the forward direction when the bucket is placed: In some embodiments, the in-place detection component includes an eccentric load detection unit, which is arranged on the motor mounting plate and is used to detect whether the IBC bucket is eccentrically loaded when placed at the work station. Figure 4 As shown, a set of eccentric load detection units 402 are provided on the motor mounting plate 1004 to detect whether the IBC bucket is over-limited to the left or right after being placed in place, so as to avoid the mixing center from being offset.

[0064] In the present invention, the unbalanced load detection unit 402 can be an infrared sensor or a light curtain. When a light curtain is used, the light curtain on either side is set along the front-to-back direction.

[0065] In the present utility model, Figure 1 、 Figure 4 As shown, the blocking rod 201 can adopt a combined structure of two vertical rods 20101 and a horizontal rod 20102, so that the two ends of the horizontal rod 20102 are respectively connected to the top ends of the two vertical rods 20101, and the bottom ends of the two vertical rods 20101 are fixed on the connecting plate 203.

[0066] The present invention can also set the blocking rod according to the following structure to enable it to have position adjustment performance (here refers to the position of the blocking rod close to the work station, and the adjustment of this position can correspond to the in-place position detection of IBC barrels of different sizes): In some embodiments, the blocking rod is rotated to connect the bracket assembly. Specifically, Figure 6 As shown, the lower ends of the two vertical rod structures of the blocking rod 201 are rotatably connected to the connecting plate 203 of the bracket assembly. Corresponding to different IBC barrel sizes, the blocking rod angle can be adjusted so that the position of the end close to the work station side can be adjusted to a suitable position.

[0067] The utility model is to realize the movement of the device body, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, a roller 600 can be provided on the base plate 202. The roller 600 can be a roller structure with a brake. After the device body is moved to a suitable position, the roller 600 can be braked to fix the position of the device body.

[0068] It should be noted that after the adjustment is completed after rotation, the lever can be fixed by tightening the rotation position. Alternatively, a ratchet structure can be used as the connection structure of the rotation position, so that the angle of the lever can be fixed every time the ratchet tooth is rotated. Since ratchets are existing technology, they will not be described here in detail.

[0069] In summary, the utility model constructs a stirring mechanism suitable for IBC ton barrels through a bracket assembly, a lifting assembly and a stirring assembly, which can ensure the stability of the stirring operation, and can accurately locate the stirring center to improve the quality of the stirring operation.

[0070] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and improvements may be made to the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Such changes and improvements are intended to fall within the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection claimed in this invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
