[0042] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, this application is further described in detail below in combination with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the embodiments of the present application should have the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which this application belongs.

[0044] Current sanitary equipment with a stirring device usually adopts the method of installing the tank bottom valve at the center of the bottom head of the equipment, the mechanical stirring device at the top head of the equipment, and the magnetic stirring device at the bottom head of the equipment. After long-term research, the inventors found that in some cases, the mechanical stirring device needs to be installed at the bottom head of the equipment, and the tank bottom valve can only be installed at the bottom head of the equipment at a certain distance eccentrically. This design can ensure that stirring will not affect the normal operation of the tank bottom valve, and can also meet the equipment's stirring and drainage requirements for liquid materials. However, there is a potential problem with this design. When the tank bottom valve is eccentric by a certain distance, the corresponding opening is not at the bottom of the equipment, which will cause a dead zone between the tank bottom valve and the stirring device. This area will affect the drainage effect of the sanitary equipment because during the use of the equipment, some liquid materials may remain in this area and cannot be discharged from the equipment through normal drainage channels. This will not only affect the sanitary condition of the equipment, but may also affect the quality of the products produced.

[0045] Based on this, the present application provides a sanitary equipment to solve the above technical problems, with specific reference to the following embodiments.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the present application discloses a sanitary equipment 100, which includes a tank body 1, a first head 2, a stirring flange 3 and a connecting structure 4. The first head 2 is arranged at the bottom of the tank body 1, and the first head 2 is provided with a first opening 21 and a second opening 22. The first opening 21 is arranged at the center of the first head 2, and the second opening 22 is arranged on one side of the first opening 21, and the second opening 22 is higher than the first opening 21. The stirring flange 3 is arranged at the first opening 21, and at least part of the stirring flange 3 is located inside the tank body 1. The stirring flange 3 is used to install a stirring device 5. The connecting structure 4 is arranged inside the tank body 1, and the connecting structure 4 is arranged around the stirring flange 3. The connecting structure 4 and the inner wall of the first head 2 and the inner wall of the tank body 1 enclose a accommodating chamber 10 for accommodating materials. The lowest position of the second opening 22 is not higher than the lowest position of the accommodating chamber 10.

[0047] The lowest position of the second opening 22 refers to the lowest position of the hole edge of the second opening 22 on the inner wall of the first end cap 2. The second opening 22 is used to discharge the material in the accommodating chamber 10, and the tank bottom valve 6 can be installed in the second opening 22. Specifically, the tank body 1 is arranged vertically, and the stirring device 5 is installed in the center of the first end cap 2 via the stirring flange 3 to stir the material in the accommodating chamber 10. Because the second opening 22 is offset (i.e., the axis of the second opening 22 intersects the axis of the tank body 1 at an acute angle), and the second opening 22 is higher than the first opening 21, the top of the stirring flange 3 is higher than the lowest position of the second opening 22, forming a relatively low area between the stirring flange 3 and the second opening 22, which can be referred to as a dead zone. This area is covered by the connecting structure 4, ensuring that the lowest position of the accommodating chamber 10 is higher than or flush with the lowest position of the second opening 22. In other words, the lowest position of the second opening 22 is the lowest point within the equipment, and the material in the accommodating chamber 10 can be completely discharged through the second opening 22.

[0048] In the sanitary equipment 100 provided in the present application, a connecting structure 4 is provided on the periphery of the stirring flange 3, and the connecting structure 4 at least covers the area between the stirring flange 3 and the second opening 22, so that the lowest position of the accommodating chamber 10 is higher than or equal to the lowest position of the second opening 22, thereby avoiding the occurrence of a dead zone. The material in the accommodating chamber 10 can be discharged from the second opening 22, so that during the use of the sanitary equipment, especially liquid materials, can be completely discharged to avoid the presence of residues, thereby improving the drainage effect of the equipment.

[0049] At the same time, since the present invention can completely drain liquid materials and avoid the presence of residues, it also improves the sanitation of sanitary equipment. This is of great significance to the sanitation requirements of the production and manufacturing processes in the fields of food, medicine, medical equipment, etc., and helps to ensure the quality and safety of the products produced.

[0050] Reference Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the connecting structure 4 includes a first portion 41 and a second portion 42. The first portion 41 is disposed between the stirring flange 3 and the second opening 22, and the second portion 42 is connected to the first portion 41 to form a ring. The first portion 41 includes a first guide surface 410, which extends from the stirring flange 3 to the second opening 22. The second portion 42 includes a second guide surface 420, which is higher than the lowest position of the second opening 22.

[0051] Among them, the first guide surface 410 can accelerate the flow of materials in the area between the stirring flange 3 and the second opening 22. The materials in this area can flow along the first guide surface 410 to the second opening 22. At the same time, the materials surrounding the outer periphery of the stirring flange 3 can flow to the first guide surface 410 through the second guide surface 420, and then be discharged from the second opening 22, thereby realizing all-round diversion of the connecting structure 4 and further improving the drainage effect.

[0052] Specifically, the connecting structure 4 is an annular structure, specifically an annular frustum, and a first flow guide surface 410 having a certain slope or taper is formed on one side of the annular structure.

[0053] Continue to refer to Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the first guide surface 410 is an inclined surface, which slopes downward in a direction away from the stirring flange 3 .

[0054] The first guide surface 410 adopts an inclined structure, which helps to guide the material on the stirring flange 3 to flow downward quickly and be discharged outward from the second opening 22.

[0055] Alternatively, the second guide surface 420 may be a sloped surface that slopes downward in a direction away from the stirring flange 3, with the slope of the second guide surface 420 being smaller than that of the first guide surface 410. Alternatively, the second guide surface 420 may be a plane with a constant height in a direction away from the stirring flange 3. Since the second guide surface 420 is higher than the lowest position of the second opening 22, the material on the second guide surface 420 will flow to the first guide surface 410.

[0056] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the connection structure 4 is not higher than the stirring flange 3. That is, the connection structure 4 is lower than the stirring flange 3, or the top of the connection structure 4 is flush with the top of the stirring flange 3.

[0057] Preferably, the top of the connecting structure 4 is flush with the top of the stirring flange 3 , which can prevent materials from piling up on the stirring flange 3 and maximize the slope of the first guide surface 410 of the connecting structure 4 .

[0058] In other embodiments, the top of the connecting structure 4 may also be partially higher than the stirring flange 3, and a portion of the top of the connecting structure 4 may be recessed downward, or a channel may be provided in the connecting structure 4 to form a guide structure connected to the top of the stirring flange 3, and the material on the stirring flange 3 may flow down along the guide structure.

[0059] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the first head 2 is provided with an exhaust hole 23 , the connecting structure 4 covers the exhaust hole 23 , and the connecting structure 4 is attached to and welded to the inner wall of the first head 2 .

[0060] The side of the connecting structure 4 close to the inner wall of the first head 2 can be conformed to the inner wall of the first head 2, and then the connecting structure 4 is welded to the inner wall of the first head 2. By providing the exhaust hole 23, harmful gases generated during the welding process can be discharged, thereby ensuring that the first head 2 and the connecting structure 4 at the bottom of the equipment can fit more tightly.

[0061] Reference Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the sanitary equipment 100 further includes a mounting base 7, which is disposed in the second opening 22 and is used to mount the tank bottom valve 6. The mounting base 7 includes a first tapered hole 71, the larger end of which is disposed in the second opening 22. The first tapered hole 71 is tapered, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with its larger end disposed in the second opening 22, forming a funnel structure that guides material in the second opening 22 to be discharged through the tank bottom valve 6.

[0062] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting base 7 further includes a second tapered hole 72, which is located on the side of the first tapered hole 71 away from the tank body 1. The small end of the first tapered hole 71 is connected to the small end of the second tapered hole 72. The tank bottom valve 6 includes a retractable valve core 61. In this embodiment, the valve core 61 can be sealed with the second tapered hole 72. When the valve core 61 is extended upward, it engages with the conical surface of the second tapered hole 72, blocking the small end of the first tapered hole 71 from the small end of the second tapered hole 72. When the valve core 61 is retracted downward, the small end of the first tapered hole 71 and the small end of the second tapered hole 72 are opened.

[0063] In another embodiment, the valve core 61 can be sealed with the first tapered hole 71. When the valve core 61 is retracted downward, it cooperates with the conical surface of the first tapered hole 71, thereby blocking the small end of the first tapered hole 71 and the small end of the second tapered hole 72; when the valve core 61 is extended upward, the small end of the first tapered hole 71 and the small end of the second tapered hole 72 are opened.

[0064] Reference Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the mounting seat 7 is welded to the first head 2, and the connecting structure 4 is welded to the mounting seat 7. The welding between the connecting structure 4, the mounting seat 7, and the first head 2 ensures structural stability. At the same time, the connecting structure 4 and the mounting seat 7 are connected together, and the material on the connecting structure 4 can directly enter the mounting seat 7 and be discharged through the tank bottom valve 6, which helps to improve the drainage effect.

[0065] Specifically, during the production of sanitary equipment 100, the tank bottom valve 6 can be bolted to the mounting seat 7. The mounting seat 7 and the stirring flange 3 are welded to the first end cap 2. The stirring device 5 can be bolted to the stirring flange 3, and the connecting structure 4 is welded between the mounting seat 7 and the stirring flange 3. A conical slope is provided on one side of the connecting structure 4 to form a first guide surface 410, which guides residual material on the stirring flange 3 to the mounting seat 7 and is discharged through the tank bottom valve 6, thereby achieving complete drainage of the interior of the sanitary equipment 100. The connecting structure 4 can be simulated using a 3D model and machined using a CNC machine tool. This manufacturing process not only improves the manufacturing accuracy and efficiency of the equipment, but also ensures that the equipment meets sanitary standards.

[0066] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the first end cap 2 is a dished end cap. The inner wall of the first end cap 2 comprises a smooth curved surface, which facilitates the discharge of internal materials along the curved surface. Furthermore, the dished end cap has a simple structure, requires less material, effectively reduces costs, and has a strong pressure-bearing capacity.

[0067] Continue to refer to Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the sanitary equipment 100 includes a second head 8 , which is disposed on the top of the tank body 1 .

[0068] Optionally, the second head 8 is a dished head.

[0069] The design of this application not only improves the drainage and sanitation of sanitary equipment, but also maintains the advantage that the stirring device does not affect the normal operation of the tank bottom valve, which can extend the life of the equipment. This optimized design allows the equipment to meet functional requirements while also improving the manufacturing and use efficiency of the equipment. This application can be widely used in the field of sanitary equipment manufacturing technology and has good prospects for promotion and application. Whether in the fields of food, medicine or medical equipment, the application of this application can help improve the hygiene level and product quality of production and manufacturing.
