Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of artificial stone slab production equipment, specifically to a temperature-controlled and color-difference-preventing slab material mixer for artificial stone slab production. Background Technology

[0002] Resin-based artificial stone typically uses unsaturated polyester resin as a binder, mixed with natural marble chips, quartz sand, calcite, stone powder, or other inorganic fillers in a specific ratio. Catalysts, curing agents, pigments, and other additives are then added. The process involves mixing, curing, demolding, drying, and surface polishing. During mixing, the raw materials are usually heated to soften the artificial stone and promote more thorough mixing and reactions between the materials. When reactions occur, the raw materials generate heat during mixing. Specifically, the resin reacts with quartz sand, pigments, and other raw materials, releasing heat and raising the ambient temperature of the slab. Excessive temperature can cause organic pigments to modify and change color, resulting in color variations in the slab.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing resin-based artificial stone mixers also employ temperature control technology. However, the temperature inside the mixing tank is uneven, resulting in localized discoloration of organic pigments in certain areas of the mixing tank.

[0004] Existing resin-based artificial stone mixers still require steps such as bonding the slabs to the inner wall of the mixing tank and cleaning the mixing tank, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and waste a lot of water resources. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a temperature-controlled and color-differentiation-preventing mixing machine for the production of artificial stone slabs with good temperature control.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a temperature-controlled, color-differentiation-prevention mixing machine for artificial stone slab production includes a water bath constant temperature chamber 1, a support 2, a mixing tank 3, a stirring motor 4, a stirrer 5, and a temperature controller 6. The support 2 is located inside the water bath constant temperature chamber 1, and the mixing tank 3 is located inside the water bath constant temperature chamber 1 and supported on the support 2. The inlet 7 and outlet 8 of the water bath constant temperature chamber 1 are connected to the temperature controller 6 through a water circulation pipe 9. The temperature controller 6 drives the circulating water to flow in the circulation system consisting of the water bath constant temperature chamber 1, the water circulation pipe 9, and the temperature controller 6 through a water pump, and controls the circulating water to a constant temperature. The top of the mixing tank 3 is provided with a feed pipe 10, which extends upwards to the outside of the water bath constant temperature chamber 1. The stirring motor 4 is located at the top of the feed pipe 10 and is connected to the stirrer 5 inside the water bath constant temperature chamber 1. The bottom of the mixing tank 3 is provided with a discharge pipe 11, which extends downwards to the outside of the water bath constant temperature chamber 1.

[0029] Temperature controller 6 is used to heat the circulating water and maintain it at a constant temperature. Heating the boards during mixing helps soften the raw materials and allows for more thorough mixing. During the mixing process, reactions occur between the boards, generating heat. When the heat is too high, it can cause the organic pigments to change color, resulting in color differences in the boards. With constant temperature control, this machine can effectively control the temperature in the mixing tank 3 within a predetermined range, thereby effectively preventing color differences in the boards and ensuring the quality of the boards.

[0030] The feed pipe 10 is provided with a feed hopper 12 on its side wall; the discharge pipe 11 is provided with an electric valve 13.

[0031] The end of the discharge pipe 11 is connected to the first interface of the four-way valve 14. The second interface 15 of the four-way valve is used to connect to the artificial stone slab mixture conveying pipe. The third interface 16 of the four-way valve is used to connect to the sewage pipe. The fourth interface 17 of the four-way valve is used to connect to one end of the water circulation cleaning pipe 18. The other end of the water circulation cleaning pipe 18 is connected to the side wall of the feed pipe 10. The water circulation cleaning pipe 18 is equipped with a water circulation cleaning drive pump 19. The bottom of the water bath constant temperature box 1 is connected to one end of the cleaning water supply pipe 20. The other end of the cleaning water supply pipe 20 is connected to the water circulation cleaning pipe 18. The cleaning water supply pipe 20 is equipped with a water valve 21.

[0032] After the machine is equipped with a cleaning water supply pipe 20 and a water circulation cleaning drive pump 19, it can be convenient to clean the mixing tank 3. During cleaning, the stirring motor 4 drives the agitator 5 to rotate to improve the cleaning effect. Therefore, the agitator not only has the function of mixing materials, but also has the function of assisting in cleaning the mixing tank 3.

[0033] When cleaning the mixing tank 3, close the electric valve 13 on the discharge pipe 11, open the water valve 21, and introduce the hot water in the water bath constant temperature box 1 into the water circulation cleaning pipeline 18 through the cleaning water supply pipe 20. Under the action of the water circulation cleaning drive pump 19, the hot water is input into the mixing tank 3. After a certain amount of water is reached, close the water valve 21 and simultaneously open the fourth port 17 of the four-way valve and the electric valve 13 to circulate and clean the mixing tank 3. This design not only has a good cleaning effect and is easy to operate, but also saves water resources.

[0034] The water bath thermostat 1 is equipped with a water inlet 22 for connecting to a tap water pipe. A partition 23 divides the cavity inside the water bath thermostat 1 into upper and lower sections. The water inlet 7 and water outlet 8 are located on the left side wall of the water bath thermostat 1, respectively, on the upper and lower sides of the partition 23. A water passage hole 24 is provided on the surface of the partition 23, located near the right side wall of the water bath thermostat 1. The partition 23 allows for sufficient water circulation within the water bath thermostat 1.

[0035] The mixing tank 3 has a spherical structure. Specifically, the mixing tank 3 is composed of an upper hemisphere and a lower hemisphere, which are connected by screws.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the agitator 5 includes a stirring shaft 25 and stirring blades 26. The stirring blades 26 are distributed on the stirring shaft 25 and have a semi-circular structure that is adapted to the inner wall surface of the mixing tank 3. The edges of the stirring blades 26 are provided with gelatinous scraper blades 27 for scraping off the mixture on the inner wall of the mixing tank 3; the surface of the stirring blades 26 is provided with mixture through holes 28.

[0037] like Figure 3As shown, the stirring blade 26 has four blades, which form a cross-shaped structure on the stirring shaft 25.

[0038] This application also improves the stirring blade 26 so that the stirring blade 26 not only has the function of mixing materials, but also has the function of cleaning the inner wall of the mixing tank 3, which can effectively prevent the mixed materials from sticking to the inner wall of the mixing tank 3.
