Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of mixing equipment, and in particular to a mixer that is easy to clean. Background Art

[0002] A mixer is a mechanical device that utilizes mechanical force and gravity to uniformly mix two or more materials. The mixing process also increases the contact surface area of ​​the materials, promoting mixing. The mixer's agitator shears the liquid as it rotates. This shearing effect also occurs as the liquid flows through the vessel's walls and various fixed components. These shearing forces act together on the materials, resulting in thorough mixing.

[0003] Existing mixers need to be cleaned after a day's work, otherwise the remaining material inside will solidify and become difficult to clean the next day. Cleaning the inside of the mixer is typically done manually with a handheld hose, but this method can easily get hands and clothes wet, causing discomfort, especially in winter. It can also easily spray water onto the floor outside, requiring mopping and increasing the workload. Utility Model Content

[0030] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 This embodiment discloses a mixer that is easy to clean, including a tank body 1, a discharge pipe 11 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 1, a discharge valve 12 is provided on the discharge pipe 11, the tank body 1 is provided with a motor 13, and a stirring blade driven to rotate by the motor 13, a cover plate 2 is fixed on the top of the tank body 1, a feed pipe 3 is provided on the cover plate 2, and a feed valve 31 is installed on the feed pipe 3.

[0032] The feed pipe 3 is used to feed materials into the tank body 1, and the feed valve 31 controls the opening and closing of the feed pipe 3. A feed hopper 32 is installed at the upper end of the feed pipe 3. The feed hopper 32 is a funnel-shaped structure with a larger upper portion and a smaller lower portion, which facilitates the entry of materials. The motor 13 is fixed to the outer bottom of the tank body 1, and the output shaft of the motor 13 penetrates into the tank body 1. A mechanical seal is provided between the output shaft of the motor 13 and the tank body 1. The stirring blade is located in the tank body 1 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 13. The stirring blade is driven to rotate by the motor 13, thereby mixing the materials in the mixer. After mixing, the materials flow out from the discharge pipe 11, and the opening and closing of the discharge pipe 11 is controlled by the discharge valve 12.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cover plate 2 is symmetrically provided with two ball grooves 4, in which a ball head 5 is rotatably connected. A water inlet pipe 51 is fixed to the top of the ball head 5, and the water inlet pipe 51 is a hard pipe. A pressure plate 21 is fixed to the cover plate 2 by bolts. Two pressure plates 21 are provided corresponding to the positions of the ball grooves 4. The two pressure plates 21 are respectively located on both sides of the radial direction of the cover plate 2; the bolts are countersunk bolts to avoid protruding from the surface of the cover plate 2 and affecting the operation of the water inlet pipe 51 by personnel. The bottom surface of the pressure plate 21 is concave to form the upper groove surface of the ball groove 4, and the lower groove surface of the ball groove 4 is located on the cover plate 2. The ball groove 4 formed by the combination of the upper and lower groove surfaces can limit the ball head 5 in a certain period, and the ball head 5 can rotate freely. The ball groove 4 is divided into two parts, upper and lower, by the pressure plate 21, which facilitates the assembly of the cover plate 2 and the ball head 5.

[0034] A water outlet pipe 52 is fixed to the bottom of the ball head 5. The water outlet pipe 52 is a rigid pipe. The lower end of the water outlet pipe 52 is located inside the tank body 1 and is fixed with a nozzle 53. A channel is opened inside the ball head 5, and the two ends of the channel are connected to the water inlet pipe 51 and the water outlet pipe 52 respectively. The water input from the water inlet pipe 51 passes through the inside of the ball head 5 and reaches the water outlet pipe 52, and then the water is sprayed out from the nozzle 53.

[0035] The top surface of the pressure plate 21 defines an upper movable groove 22 for the water inlet pipe 51 to swing through. The upper movable groove 22 has a tapered structure with a larger upper portion and a smaller lower portion. The bottom surface of the cover plate 2 defines a lower movable groove 23 for the water outlet pipe 52 to swing through. The lower movable groove 23 has a tapered structure with a smaller upper portion and a larger lower portion. The upper movable groove 22 provides swing space for the water inlet pipe 51, while the lower movable groove 23 provides swing space for the water outlet pipe 52.

[0036] A quick connector 54 is fixed to the upper end of the water inlet pipe 51. This quick connector 54 is conventional and must be used as a set. The quick connector 54 referred to in this application refers to the female or male connector in a set. The quick connector 54 is used to connect to an external hose. By attaching the other end of the hose to the corresponding quick connector 54 on the water inlet pipe 51, the water inlet pipe 51 is easily connected to the external water source and can be easily removed.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 The top of the sidewall of the tank body 1 is provided with a plurality of rectangular observation ports 14 along the circumference. These ports 14 are sealed by fixed transparent panels 15, which can be glass or acrylic. The provision of these rectangular transparent panels 15 significantly increases the amount of light that can penetrate into the tank body 1, making it easier for personnel to observe the interior of the tank body 1 through the transparent panels 15 and thus operate the water inlet pipe 51 to clean dirty areas.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 A chassis 33 is fixed to the bottom of the feed pipe 3, and a hinge shaft 34 is fixed to the edge of the chassis 33. The hinge shaft 34 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 2. By providing a rotatable chassis 33, the feed pipe 3 can be rotated to a horizontal state, so that the top of the tank body 1 has a larger opening. When personnel flush the interior of the tank body 1, an additional observation position is added, which facilitates the cleaning of the interior of the tank body 1. After the feed pipe 3 is flattened, personnel can also clean both ends of the feed pipe 3 with a rag, and can also clean both sides of the valve plate of the feed valve 31, which facilitates cleaning and improves the cleaning level.

[0039] The top surface of the cover plate 2 defines a mounting groove 24 for the lower end of the base plate 33 to fit into. An annular sealing gasket 25 is secured to the bottom wall of the mounting groove 24, abutting the bottom surface of the base plate 33. When the feed pipe 3 is rotated to a vertical position, the weight of the feed pipe 3 and the feed valve 31 compresses the sealing gasket 25 against the base plate 33 and the cover plate 2, creating a tight seal. When material is fed into the feed pipe 3, moisture in the material is prevented from leaking out through the bottom surface of the base plate 33.

[0040] The implementation principle of the easy-to-clean mixer in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when it is necessary to rinse and clean the inside of the tank body 1, connect the external water pipe to the tap, connect the other end of the water pipe to the quick connector 54, and after turning on the water source, the water passes through the water inlet pipe 51, the inside of the ball head 5, and the water outlet pipe 52 in sequence to reach the nozzle 53 and be sprayed out.

[0041] A person holds the water inlet pipe 51 and observes the location of the water spraying out of the tank body 1 through the transparent plate 15. By shaking the water inlet pipe 51, the area to be cleaned is rinsed. When the water inlet pipe 51 is shaken, the water outlet pipe 52 and the nozzle 53 swing in opposite directions due to the connection of the ball head 5. Since the ball head 5 and the ball groove 4 can rotate at any angle, a wide range of cleaning can be achieved. By providing two symmetrical sets of water inlet pipes 51 and nozzles 53, all areas to be cleaned in the tank body 1 can be covered, thus meeting the usage requirements.

[0042] For cleaning the feed pipe 3, it can be rotated and laid flat for a more thorough cleaning; for cleaning the discharge pipe 11, the flushed water is discharged from the discharge pipe 11, and the inside of the discharge pipe 11 can be cleaned naturally. In the cleaning method of the mixer of the present application, the cleaning water is confined to the bottom of the cover plate 2 and inside the tank body 1, which will not wet the hands and clothes of the user during cleaning, improving the cleaning comfort. It will also not spray water outside the tank body 1, so there is no need to mop the floor specifically to avoid water spillage, reducing the subsequent workload.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
