Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of emulsification tanks, in particular to an emulsification tank. Background Art

[0002] The function of an emulsifying tank is to dissolve one or more materials (water-soluble solids, liquids, or colloids) in another liquid phase and hydrate them into a relatively stable emulsion. They are widely used for emulsifying and mixing raw materials and auxiliary materials such as edible oils, powders, and sugars. They are also used for the emulsification and dispersion of certain coatings and paints. Emulsifying tanks are particularly suitable for certain insoluble colloidal additives such as CMC and xanthan gum.

[0003] At present, the existing emulsification tank stirring method is relatively simple, usually just simple rotation stirring, which cannot generate sufficient shear force and turbulence, making it difficult to fully break up and fuse materials of different properties. There may be local uneven composition in the emulsified product. Therefore, this application provides an emulsification tank to meet the needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an emulsification tank to solve the problem that the existing emulsification tank has a relatively simple stirring mode, usually just simple rotation stirring, which cannot generate sufficient shear force and turbulence.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] An emulsification tank comprises: a tank body; a mounting frame arranged on the top of the tank body; a motor arranged on the top of the mounting frame; a stirring assembly rotatably arranged in the tank body; a rotating rod, one end of which is arranged in the stirring assembly and the other end is connected to the output end of the motor; and a transmission assembly respectively arranged on the stirring assembly and the rotating rod.

[0007] The stirring assembly includes: a rotating rod, one end of which is rotatably arranged in the tank body; the rotating rod is hollow; the transmission assembly includes: an internal gear, which is arranged in the installation frame; the other end of the rotating rod extends into the installation frame and is connected to the internal gear.

[0008] It also includes: two auxiliary rods, which are rotatably arranged in the installation frame; a first gear, which is sleeved on the auxiliary rods and meshed with the internal gear; and a second gear, which is sleeved on the rotating rod, located in the installation frame, and meshed with the first gear.

[0009] It also includes: a spiral groove, which is arranged on the rotating rod; a first spiral piece, which is arranged on the surface of the rotating rod; and a second spiral piece, which is sleeved on the rotating rod.

[0010] The first spiral sheet and the second spiral sheet rotate in opposite directions, and both the first spiral sheet and the second spiral sheet push the material downward.

[0011] The spiral size of the first spiral is gradually reduced from top to bottom.

[0012] It also includes a scraper, one end of which is arranged on the rotating rod and the other end of which is in sliding contact with the inner cavity of the tank body.

[0013] It also includes: a phase change material, which is arranged in the tank body.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In the above scheme, the rotating rod and the rotating rod rotate in opposite directions, so that the rotation directions of the first spiral and the second spiral are also opposite and both push the material downward. This design can generate strong shear force and turbulence, allowing the material to be fully mixed in the tank body. At the same time, the size of the first spiral gradually decreases from top to bottom, which helps to better promote the flow of materials during the mixing process and prevent the material from accumulating in specific areas in the tank.

[0016] By setting up phase change materials, it can automatically absorb or release heat according to changes in external temperature. When the outside is hot, the phase change material absorbs heat to prevent the temperature inside the tank from being too high and affecting the emulsification effect; when the outside is cold, the phase change material releases heat to maintain a stable temperature inside the tank and prevent the material from solidifying or becoming viscous due to low temperature.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following describes an emulsifying tank provided by the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It is also noted that, in order to provide a more detailed description, the following embodiments are best and preferred embodiments, and those skilled in the art may also adopt other alternatives to implement the invention for some known technologies. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments in more detail and are not intended to limit the present invention to any specific extent.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an emulsifying tank, comprising: a tank body 1; a mounting frame 2, arranged on the top of the tank body 1; a motor 3, arranged on the top of the mounting frame 2; a stirring assembly 6, rotatably arranged in the tank body 1; a rotating rod 4, one end of which is arranged in the stirring assembly 6, and the other end is connected to the output end of the motor 3; a transmission assembly 5, respectively arranged on the stirring assembly 6 and the rotating rod 4.

[0027] By setting up the tank body 1, a closed space can be provided for the emulsification process to ensure that the material will not be contaminated by the external environment during the stirring and emulsification process. The top of the tank body 1 is connected to a feed valve, and the bottom of the tank body 1 is connected to a discharge valve; by setting up the motor 3, a power source is provided for stirring. A timer can be set on the motor 3 to control the timed rotation of the motor 3. After the emulsification is completed and the material has not been discharged, timed stirring is performed to reduce the coagulation phenomenon after the emulsification is completed.

[0028] The stirring assembly 6 includes: a rotating rod 64, one end of which is rotatably arranged in the tank body 1; the rotating rod 64 is hollow; the transmission assembly 5 includes: an internal gear 52, which is arranged in the installation frame 2; the other end of the rotating rod 64 extends into the installation frame 2 and is connected to the internal gear 52.

[0029] By setting up the internal gear 52, the transmission connection of the rotating rod 64 can be achieved. The rotating rod 4 rotates, driving the second gear 53 to rotate, and the second gear 53 drives the first gear 54 to rotate. The first gear 54 drives the internal gear 52 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 64 rotates synchronously with the internal gear 52, achieving precise power transmission, and at the same time making the rotating rod 64 and the rotating rod 4 rotate in opposite directions.

[0030] It also includes: two auxiliary rods 51, which are rotatably set in the installation frame 2; a first gear 54, which is sleeved on the auxiliary rods 51, and the first gear 54 is engaged with the internal gear 52; a second gear 53, which is sleeved on the rotating rod 4, is located in the installation frame 2, and is engaged with the first gear 54.

[0031] By providing an auxiliary rod 51 and a connecting plate in the mounting frame 2 , one end of the auxiliary rod 51 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate, and the other end extends into the inner gear 52 , so that the first gear 54 and the inner gear 52 are meshed.

[0032] The tank 1 further comprises a spiral groove 63 provided on the rotating rod 4, a first spiral blade 62 provided on the surface of the rotating rod 64, and a second spiral blade 7 sleeved on the rotating rod 4. The spiral groove 63 allows the material to enter the rotating rod 64, and the second spiral blade 7 stirs the material so that it is fully mixed with other materials in the tank 1.

[0033] The first spiral 62 rotates in opposite directions to the second spiral 7, and both the first spiral 62 and the second spiral 7 push the material downward. Since the two spirals rotate in opposite directions, a complex flow field is formed in the tank body 1, causing the material to be subjected to shearing and squeezing forces in different directions, thereby greatly enhancing the stirring effect, allowing the material to be more fully mixed and emulsified. At the same time, both spirals push the material downward, causing the material to form a top-down directional flow in the tank body 1, avoiding stagnation and accumulation of the material in the tank and improving the overall fluidity of the material.

[0034] The size of the first spiral blade 62 gradually decreases from top to bottom. This can generate a gradually increasing driving force on the material during the stirring process, allowing the material to flow downward more smoothly and avoid material blockage or stagnation in the tank. The large spiral blade at the upper end can quickly push the material downward when it first enters the tank body 1, allowing the material to quickly enter the emulsification area. The small spiral blade at the lower end, located near the discharge valve, can generate stronger shear force and stirring action to ensure that the material is fully emulsified before discharge.

[0035] The apparatus further includes a scraper 61, one end of which is mounted on a rotating rod 64 and the other end of which is in sliding contact with the inner cavity of the tank body 1. By providing the scraper 61, as the rotating rod 64 rotates, the scraper 61 can continuously scrape away material adhering to the inner wall of the tank body 1, thereby preventing material from accumulating on the inner wall of the tank body 1 and ensuring that the material fully participates in the emulsification process.

[0036] The tank 1 further includes a phase change material 8 disposed within the tank 1. By disposing the phase change material 8, microcapsules can be used to encapsulate the phase change material 8 in tiny capsules, which are then evenly distributed on the outer layer of the tank 1 to prevent leakage of the phase change material 8. For example, polymer microcapsules can be used to encapsulate the phase change material 8.

[0037] The technical solution provided by the present invention is to add materials into the tank body 1 through the feed valve, and use the external controller to start the motor 3 to drive the rotating rod 4 to rotate, so that the second spiral piece 7 rotates, and at the same time drives the second gear 53 to rotate, so that the first gear 54 rotates, thereby rotating the internal gear 52, driving the rotating rod 64 to rotate, so that the first spiral piece 62 rotates synchronously with the rotating rod 64, and the two spiral pieces push the material downward to ensure that the material circulates continuously in the tank body 1, and the rotation of the rotating rod 64 drives the scraper 61 to rotate, and finally the material is discharged through the discharge valve.

[0038] This invention encompasses any alternatives, modifications, equivalents, and solutions that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this invention. While specific details are described in detail in the preferred embodiments of this invention to provide a thorough understanding, those skilled in the art will be able to fully understand this invention without these details. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the essence of this invention, well-known methods, processes, procedures, components, and circuits have not been described in detail.

[0039] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
