[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] In this application, the terms "installed," "disposed," "provided with," "connected," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, removable connections, or integral structures; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections, indirect connections through an intermediary, or internal communication between two devices, elements, or components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] In addition, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may or may not be the same in type and configuration), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the devices, elements, or components indicated. Unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0039] The technical solution of the present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and drawings.

[0040] Please also refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a kneading device 1, comprising a cylinder body 11, a cylinder cover 12, a turning assembly (not shown in the figure) and a conveying assembly 13. The cylinder body 11 is provided with a receiving cavity 111 for accommodating materials and an opening 112 communicating with the receiving cavity 111. The cylinder cover 12 is provided on the cylinder body 11 and can move in a first direction (such as Figure 1 The cylinder 11 is configured to be opened and closed by a first position (as shown in the direction Z) and a second position (as shown in the direction Z) to close or open the opening 112. The tilting assembly is connected to the cylinder body 11 and is used to tilt the cylinder body 11 so that the opening 112 faces downward. The conveying assembly 13 is disposed on the cylinder head 12 and has a conveying surface 1321 facing the accommodating chamber 111 and used to convey materials.

[0041] When the cylinder cover 12 is switched from the first position to the second position and the turning assembly turns over the cylinder body 11 so that the opening 112 faces downward, the conveying assembly 13 moves along the second direction (eg, Figure 1 The second direction (shown as the middle direction X) conveys the material falling on the conveying surface 1321, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0042] The working principle of this embodiment is:

[0043] The cylinder body 11 is in a posture with the opening 112 facing upward, and the cylinder cover 12 switches from the first position to the second position along the first direction to open the opening 112 , and the material is loaded into the accommodating cavity 111 through the opening 112 .

[0044] After the material is loaded, the cylinder cover 12 switches from the second position to the first position along the first direction to close the opening 112 , and the paddles disposed in the accommodating cavity 111 perform a kneading operation on the material.

[0045] After the kneading operation is completed, the turning assembly turns over the cylinder body 11 so that the cylinder body 11 is in a posture with the opening 112 facing downward, and the cylinder cover 12 switches from the first position to the second position along the first direction to open the opening 112. At this time, the material accumulates on the conveying surface 1321 of the conveying assembly 13, and the conveying surface 1321 conveys the material along the second direction to discharge the material.

[0046] In this embodiment, the conveying surface 1321 of the conveying assembly 13 conveys the material that may accumulate in the cylinder head 12 , thereby improving the material unloading efficiency, reducing the accumulation of the material in the cylinder head 12 , and reducing the waste of the material.

[0047] Also, see Figure 2The cylinder 11 may be a double-layer structure with a heating interlayer, wherein the heating interlayer can be internally circulated with a heating medium. The heating medium may be hot water or hot oil, or other media, which are not limited here. The heating medium can accelerate the volatilization of moisture in the material in the accommodating chamber 111.

[0048] The heating interlayer has an input port provided with a medium input valve 113 and an output port provided with a medium output valve 114. The medium input valve 113 and the medium output valve 114 are connected to a medium circulation box through a medium pipeline. A power pump is installed in the medium circulation box.

[0049] In addition, cylinder body 11 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet connected to accommodating chamber 111. The inlet is provided with an air inlet valve 115, and the outlet is provided with an air outlet valve 116. The air outlet is also provided with a humidity sensor 117. The air outlet valve 116 is connected to an air pump via an air pipe, allowing air to remove water vapor as it passes through the internal chamber. The humidity sensor 117 detects the humidity of the air during the outlet to determine the dryness of the material.

[0050] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 13 includes two rotating shafts 131 and a conveying belt 132. The two rotating shafts 131 are rotatably disposed on the cylinder head 12, and the two rotating shafts 131 are spaced apart along the second direction, and the rotating shafts 131 are spaced apart along the third direction (such as Figure 1 The third direction is perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. The conveyor belt 132 is wound around the two rotating shafts 131 along the second direction. The conveyor belt 132 has a conveying surface 1321.

[0051] Two rotating shafts 131 spaced apart along the second direction and extending along the third direction, and a conveyor belt 132 wound around these two rotating shafts 131, form a stable conveying surface 1321, ensuring that materials remain stable during conveyance, reducing jitter or deviation, and improving material conveying stability. Furthermore, the conveying surface 1321 formed by the conveyor belt 132 has a larger area, thereby improving material conveying efficiency.

[0052] In some other embodiments, the number of the rotating shafts 131 may be greater than two.

[0053] In some embodiments, a surface of the cylinder head 12 facing the accommodating cavity 111 is provided with an accommodating cavity (not shown in the figures), and the conveying assembly 13 is disposed in the accommodating cavity.

[0054] Arranging the conveying assembly 13 in the accommodating cavity can reduce the thickness of the cylinder cover 12 , and at the same time can protect the conveying assembly 13 and extend the service life of the conveying assembly 13 .

[0055] In some other embodiments, the conveying assembly 13 may also be directly disposed on the surface of the cylinder cover 12 facing the accommodating cavity 111 .

[0056] In some embodiments, the accommodating cavity penetrates the surface of the cylinder head 12 facing away from the accommodating cavity 111 .

[0057] Among them, the accommodating cavity passes through the surface of the cylinder head 12 away from the accommodating cavity 111, which makes it convenient to observe the situation of the conveying component 13 from the side of the cylinder head 12 away from the cylinder body 11, and at the same time makes it convenient to disassemble and clean the conveying component 13 from the side of the cylinder head 12 away from the cylinder body 11.

[0058] In some other embodiments, the accommodating cavity may not penetrate the surface of the cylinder head 12 facing away from the accommodating cavity 111 .

[0059] In some embodiments, the conveying surface 1321 is flush with the surface of the cylinder head 12 facing the accommodating cavity 111 .

[0060] The conveying surface 1321 is flush with the surface of the cylinder head 12, so that after the material falls from the accommodating chamber 111 onto the conveying surface 1321, it can be more smoothly unloaded from the edge of the cylinder head 12 through the conveying surface 1321, thereby improving the continuity and efficiency of the material conveying process, while reducing the material residue between the conveying component 13 and the cylinder head 12, and reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0061] In some other embodiments, the conveying surface 1321 may also protrude from the surface of the cylinder cover 12 facing the accommodating cavity 111 .

[0062] Please refer again Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the kneading device 1 further includes a lifting assembly 14, which is disposed on the cylinder body 11 and connected to the cylinder cover 12. The lifting assembly 14 is used to drive the cylinder cover 12 to switch between the first position and the second position along the first direction.

[0063] The introduction of the lifting assembly 14 enables the automatic lifting of the cylinder cover 12 without manual operation, thereby improving the degree of automation of the kneading device 1 and enhancing working efficiency.

[0064] In some other embodiments, the cylinder head 12 may also be moved manually.

[0065] Please continue reading Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 14 includes a screw 141 , the rotation axis of the screw 141 is parallel to the first direction, the screw 141 is rotatably disposed in the cylinder body 11 , and the screw 141 is threadedly engaged with the cylinder cover 12 .

[0066] In this embodiment, when the screw 141 rotates forward, the screw 141 drives the cylinder cover 12 to move from the first position to the second position along the first direction; when the screw 141 flips, the screw 141 drives the cylinder cover 12 to move from the second position to the first position along the first direction.

[0067] By means of the threaded cooperation between the screw 141 and the cylinder head 12, the accuracy of the cylinder head 12 during the lifting process can be improved. For example, by controlling the rotation angle or number of turns of the screw 141, the lifting height of the cylinder head 12 can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving precise positioning of the cylinder head 12 between the first position and the second position.

[0068] In addition, the threaded cooperation between the cylinder cover 12 and the screw 141 makes the cylinder cover 12 have a higher load-bearing capacity. When the flip assembly flips the cylinder body 11 so that the opening 112 faces downward, the cylinder cover 12 can stably bear the weight of the material on the conveying surface 1321, thereby preventing the cylinder cover 12 from detaching from the cylinder body 11 due to excessive weight of the material on the conveying surface 1321.

[0069] In addition, compared with hydraulic transmission, the screw 141 transmission has a simple structure and can reduce costs.

[0070] In some other embodiments, the lifting assembly 14 may also be driven by a cylinder or the like.

[0071] Please refer again Figure 1 In some embodiments, there are two screw rods 141 , which are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the cylinder body 11 .

[0072] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the parameters of the two screw rods 141 are the same, and the two screw rods 141 rotate synchronously.

[0073] The two screws 141 are located on opposite sides of the cylinder body 11, ensuring that the cylinder head 12 is evenly loaded during the lifting process. This prevents tilting or shifting of the cylinder head 12 due to uneven force on one side, thereby improving the stability of the cylinder head 12 during the lifting process. Furthermore, the synchronous rotation of the two screws 141 can partially offset each other's vibration, thereby reducing vibration during the lifting process of the cylinder head 12 and ensuring a smoother lifting process.

[0074] In addition, the two screw rods 141 share the weight of the cylinder cover 12 and the material thereon, which can effectively disperse the load and reduce the stress strength of a single screw rod 141 , thereby improving the load-bearing capacity of the lifting assembly 14 .

[0075] In some other embodiments, the number of screws 141 may be more than two.

[0076] Please continue reading Figure 1In some embodiments, the lifting assembly 14 further includes a guide rod 142 , the axis of the guide rod 142 is parallel to the first direction, and the guide rod 142 is disposed in the cylinder body 11 and passes through the cylinder cover 12 .

[0077] Guide rod 142 provides a clear guide path for the lifting and lowering of cylinder head 12, ensuring that cylinder head 12 moves in the first direction during the lifting process, further reducing the possibility of cylinder head 12 shifting and shaking, and improving the stability of cylinder head 12 during the lifting process. In addition, guide rod 142 can share the load applied by cylinder head 12 perpendicular to the first direction with screw rod 141, effectively reducing the shear stress on screw rod 141.

[0078] In some other embodiments, the guiding function can also be achieved through the screw 141.

[0079] Please continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments, there are two guide rods 142 , and the two guide rods 142 are respectively arranged on both sides of the screw rod 141 along the second direction.

[0080] The two guide rods 142 are respectively located on both sides of the screw rod 141 along the second direction, and can share the load of the screw rod 141 in the second direction, thereby preventing the cylinder head 12 from deflecting in the second direction during the lifting process.

[0081] In some other implementations, there may be multiple guide rods 142 .

[0082] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features therein.
