[0030] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0031] The principle of this invention is that cyclic fine mixing and homogenization pretreatment are two important material handling processes. Through reasonable process design and equipment selection, efficient, stable and sustainable material handling and production can be achieved.

[0032] This utility model includes: a mixing cylinder 5, a stirring shaft 6, an inner impeller 7, and cylinder wall blades 8. The stirring shaft 6 is coaxially arranged in the central shaft of the mixing cylinder 5, and the opening of the mixing cylinder 5 is inclined upward. The mixing cylinder 5 and the stirring shaft 6 rotate independently in opposite directions. Cylinder wall blades 8 are installed on the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 5, and the inner impeller 7 is installed on the stirring shaft 6. The inner impeller 7 adopts a Möbius ring structure, and the cylinder wall blades 8 inside the mixing cylinder 5 are spirally arranged.

[0033] In this invention, when the mixing drum 5 rolls, the blades 8 on the drum wall carry the material attached to the wall, which is rolled obliquely upward from the bottom of the mixing drum 5 to the opening. At the same time, the stirring shaft 6 drives the inner impeller 7 to rotate in the opposite direction, mixing the material. Furthermore, under the action of the material's own weight, it moves from the opening to the bottom of the drum. The material moving on the drum wall and the material moving on the shaft center cut and mix with each other in multiple directions and multiple times. In this process, by adjusting the speed of the mixing drum 5 and the stirring shaft 6 according to the material characteristics, the material can be circulated and stirred, cut and mixed in multiple directions, and a stable homogeneous mixture can be obtained.

[0034] Meanwhile, the coordinated motion of the mixing drum 5, stirring shaft 6, inner impeller 7, and drum wall blades 8 is significant. In particular, the inner impeller 7 adopts a Möbius strip structure, and the pushing force generated by forward and reverse rotation is similar. The material gripped and attached overcomes its own weight and makes small localized cyclical movements. Furthermore, along the stirring shaft 6, a circulating mixing zone is formed in the central part of the mixing drum 5, where the material's residence time is extended, making the circulating mixing effect more effective.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0036] The following preferred embodiments and examples of this invention will provide a more readily apparent understanding of its contents. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. In case of any conflict, the definitions in this specification shall prevail.

[0037] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 As shown, the mixing cylinder 5 is installed on the upper side of the base platform 1; the front support 2 is erected on the front end of the upper side of the base platform 1; the front support 3 is installed on the upper part of the front support 2; the drive wheel 16 is installed on the inner end of the upper side of the front support 3; the rear support 4 is installed on the upper rear part of the base platform 1, and the rear support wheel 17 is installed on the upper side of the rear support 4; the front and rear parts of the bottom of the mixing cylinder 5 are respectively placed on the upper side of the drive wheel 16 and the rear support wheel 17.

[0038] In this embodiment of the present invention, a front limiting ring 10 or a rear limiting ring 11 is respectively wrapped around the front and rear ends of the outer wall of the mixing cylinder 5. The bottom of the front limiting ring 10 is fixed on the front support 3, and the rear limiting ring 11 is fixed on the rear support 4.

[0039] In this embodiment of the present invention, a front shaft bracket 12 or a rear shaft bracket 13 is respectively installed on the inner wall of the front and rear ports of the mixing cylinder 5. The front shaft bracket 12 and the rear shaft bracket 13 are coaxially rotatably connected to the front and rear ends of the stirring shaft 6 through a bearing structure.

[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, a rear cover 14 is fixed to the outside of the rear port of the mixing cylinder 5 by a cover bolt 15. Simultaneously, a front retaining ring 19 is installed on the front port of the mixing cylinder 5. The front retaining ring 19 is used to prevent material from overflowing from the mixing cylinder 5.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, a drive motor 18 is mounted on the front support 3, and the drive motor 18 is connected to the front end of the stirring shaft 6 via a coupling transmission mechanism 9. The drive motor 18 is connected to the drive wheel 16 via a reduction mechanism.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, the cylinder wall blades 8 are segmented; the centerline and edges of the cylinder wall blades 8 have an involute structure; the central axis of the stirring shaft 6 passes radially through the central axis of the inner impeller 7.

[0043] In this embodiment of the present invention, the cylinder wall blade 8 is fixed perpendicular to the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 5.

[0044] In this embodiment of the invention, the inner impeller 7 may be an open or closed Möbius strip structure, in the shape of a disc or annulus, with continuously rotating blades arranged around its outer wall. These blades and the hub are integrally formed, effectively making the inner wall structure of the inner impeller 7 function as the hub. This structural design extends the service life of the inner impeller 7. The inner impeller 7 is a ring structure formed by thickening the boundary curved surface, with a hollowed-out area enclosed in the center. The pushing force generated by the stirring shaft 6 driving the inner impeller 7 in both forward and reverse rotation is approximately equal, resulting in significantly reduced surface wear of the inner impeller 7 during operation.

[0045] Preferably, as shown in the appendix Figure 2 As shown, the inner impeller 7 has a Möbius single-ring structure with a strip-shaped flipped knot outer wall, and there is a through hole in the middle of the inner impeller 7.

[0046] Preferably, as shown in the appendix Figure 3 As shown, the inner impeller 7 has a Möbius double-ring structure with a tubular inverted knot outer wall, and there are two through holes in the middle of the inner impeller 7.

[0047] Preferably, as shown in the appendix Figure 4 As shown, the inner impeller 7 has a Möbius single-ring structure with an I-shaped flipped knot outer wall and a through hole in the middle. Furthermore, filter holes are formed on the outer wall of the inner impeller 7. Under centrifugal force, some material is thrown out through these filter holes. These filter holes and their walls effectively refine the mixture, significantly improving the homogenization effect.

[0048] In this embodiment of the invention, the blades on the outer wall of the inner impeller 7 are tilted to the side. When the inner impeller 7 rotates in both forward and reverse directions, the static pressure airflow through the central hole differs by less than 10%. When the inner impeller 7 rotates, the material attached to the inner wall of the central hole will slide onto the outer wall of the inner impeller 7, maintaining the cleanliness of the surface of the inner impeller 7, improving the stirring efficiency, reducing surface wear, saving maintenance procedures, and extending service life.

[0049] In this embodiment of the utility model, the working process of the device includes:

[0050] 1) After closing the back cover 14, fill the mixing cylinder 5 with the material to be processed and start the drive motor 18;

[0051] 2) The drive motor 18 drives the stirring shaft 6 to rotate through the coupling transmission mechanism 9, which starts the inner impeller 7 inside the mixing cylinder 5 to rotate synchronously; at the same time, with the support of the rear support wheel 17, the drive bottom wheel 16 drives the mixing cylinder 5 to rotate from the outer wall, and the mixing cylinder 5 and the stirring shaft 6 rotate in opposite directions on the same axis; at the same time, the front limit ring 10 and the rear limit ring 11 play a limiting and correcting role to maintain the stable and safe operation of the equipment;

[0052] 3) The materials in the equipment are self-circulated for thorough mixing and homogenization;

[0053] 4) After the work is completed, open the back cover 14, and the mixing drum 5 will rotate in the opposite direction. The material inside the drum will be quickly discharged through the rear port of the mixing drum 5.

[0054] Example 2: As shown in the attached document Figure 5 As shown, the cylinder wall blades 8 are segmented; the centerline and edges of the cylinder wall blades 8 have an involute structure; the central axis of the stirring shaft 6 passes radially through the central axis of the inner impeller 7.

[0055] In this embodiment of the present invention, during operation, due to the centrifugal force of rotation and the Möbius ring structure of the inner impeller 7, the material gripped by the hole in the inner impeller 7 moves along the surface of the torsion ring to the outer wall, and some of the material is thrown toward the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 5, and is gripped by the cylinder wall blades 8, and rotated and carried toward the cylinder opening; at the same time, the material carried by the edge of the inner impeller 7 during rotation is mixed with the material falling from the top inner wall of the mixing cylinder 5 in a similar cutting manner.

[0056] Example 3: As shown in the attached document Figure 6 As shown, the stirring shaft 6 and the inner impeller 7 are coaxially mounted. The cylinder wall blades 8 are fixed perpendicular to the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 5.

[0057] In this embodiment of the present invention, the inner impeller 7 functions similarly to the inner cylinder structure, grabbing and retaining material to increase the mixing process. Moreover, the brief retention of this material also partially prolongs the mixing time of the material in the middle of the mixing cylinder 5 due to its rotation. On the other hand, due to the centrifugal force of rotation, the Möbius ring structure of the inner impeller 7 causes the material grabbed by the hole in the inner impeller 7 to move along the surface of the torsion ring to the outer wall, and then part of it is thrown onto the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 5, where it is grabbed by the cylinder wall blades 8 and rotated and carried towards the cylinder opening.

[0058] Based on the embodiments of this utility model described above, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
