[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixing tank technology, and in particular to a steam-heated mixing tank. Background Technology

[0002] Steam-heated mixing tanks are commonly used in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. They rapidly increase the temperature of materials through steam heating, making them suitable for processes requiring rapid heating. The mixing device ensures uniform mixing of materials, preventing sedimentation and stratification. At the same time, it effectively utilizes thermal energy, reduces energy consumption, saves production costs, and has strong applicability, meeting the heating and mixing needs of different types of materials.

[0003] Existing mixing tanks heat the inner wall of the tank, which makes it difficult for the raw materials near the center of the tank to be heated, resulting in uneven temperature of the raw materials inside the tank. Furthermore, after heating and mixing, some raw materials become quite viscous and difficult to discharge. Therefore, this application provides a steam-heated mixing tank to meet the requirements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a steam-heated mixing tank to solve the problem that existing mixing tanks heat the inner wall of the tank, which makes it difficult for the raw materials near the center of the tank to be heated, resulting in uneven temperature of the raw materials inside the tank, and some raw materials become more viscous after heating and stirring, making them difficult to discharge.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A steam-heated stirring tank includes a shell, a bottom cover bolted to the bottom of the shell, a discharge pipe fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom cover, a top cover fixedly connected to the top of the shell, an inlet pipe extending through the top of the top cover, a steam chamber formed at the top of the shell, a spiral tube inside the steam chamber, an air inlet pipe extending through the shell and to the outside fixedly connected to one end of the spiral tube, and connecting pipes communicating with the steam chamber fixedly connected to opposite inner walls of the shell, with an annular connection fixedly connected between the connecting pipes to allow them to communicate with each other. The annular tube 1 has multiple opposing through-tubes 2 fixedly connected to its bottom, and the bottoms of the through-tubes 2 are fixedly connected to the same annular tube 2. The through-tubes 2 are connected to the annular tube 2. Inside the shell, below the annular tubes 2, a stirring mechanism is provided to enhance the stirring effect. The stirring mechanism includes two opposing upper fixed rods. Each upper fixed rod has a connecting block fixedly connected to one end that is far from the other. The side of the connecting block closest to the upper fixed rod is also fixedly connected to a lower fixed rod below the upper fixed rod. A spiral stirring blade is provided between the upper fixed rod and the lower fixed rod.

[0007] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the top center of the top cover, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, extending through the top cover and into the interior of the housing. A stirring plate is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating shaft, and the stirring plate can abut against the upper fixing rod and the lower fixing rod.

[0008] Preferably, a water inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing, the water inlet pipe being located above the spiral tube and extending into the interior of the steam chamber.

[0009] Preferably, a water outlet pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shell, and the water outlet pipe passes through one side of the shell and communicates with the bottom of the steam chamber.

[0010] Preferably, a ring is fixedly connected between the upper fixing rods to enhance the stability of the connecting block.

[0011] Preferably, a scraper is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block away from the upper fixing rod, and the scraper abuts against the inner wall of the housing.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] In the above scheme, by setting up a steam chamber, when heating is required, the raw material can be added into the shell through the feed pipe. Then, the heated steam enters the spiral tube through the air inlet pipe, rotates around one side of the inner wall of the steam chamber inside the spiral tube, and then sprays out from the bottom side of the spiral tube, entering the steam chamber to heat the inner wall of the shell. Furthermore, the steam in the steam chamber also enters the first through-pipe, and then through the first annular pipe into the second through-pipe and the second annular pipe, heating the raw material accumulated in the center of the shell. When stirring is required, the motor can be started, causing the rotating shaft to drive the stirring plate to rotate. When in motion, it will contact the upper and lower fixed rods, causing them to rotate. This causes the spiral stirring blades to rotate, stirring the raw materials. The connecting block will also drive the scraper to scrape and clean the inner wall of the shell, preventing residue from remaining on the inner wall when discharging. At the same time, the raw materials will be driven upward by the spiral stirring blades, so that the raw materials will continuously come into contact with the second through-pipe and the second annular pipe during stirring. The advantage of this is that the raw materials can be heated not only by the inner wall of the shell, but also through the first through-pipe, the first annular pipe, the second through-pipe, and the second annular pipe. Combined with the spiral stirring blades, the raw materials near the center can be heated, ensuring temperature uniformity.

[0014] By setting up inlet and outlet pipes, the inlet pipe can release the internal steam of the steam chamber. After heating and stirring are completed, water or coolant can be added into the steam chamber through the inlet pipe to quickly cool the spiral tube. After cooling, the water or coolant is discharged from the steam chamber through the outlet pipe. When discharging, the motor rotates in the opposite direction, and the raw material is discharged downward through the spiral stirring blades. This allows the raw material to be discharged from the shell more quickly through the discharge pipe, thus completing the discharge process. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The present invention provides a steam-heated stirring tank in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, to make the embodiments more detailed, the following embodiments are the best and preferred embodiments; those skilled in the art can also use other alternative methods to implement some known technologies; and the accompanying drawings are only for more specific description of the embodiments and are not intended to specifically limit the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1-3As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a steam-heated stirring tank, including a shell 1. A bottom cover 3 is bolted to the bottom of the shell 1. A discharge pipe 5, communicating with the bottom cover 3, is fixedly connected to the bottom of the bottom cover 3. A top cover 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the shell 1. An inlet pipe 15, penetrating the top cover 2, is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 2. A steam chamber 6 is formed at the top of the shell 1. A spiral tube 17 is installed inside the steam chamber 6. An air inlet pipe 7, extending through the shell 1 and reaching the outside, is fixedly connected to one end of the top of the spiral tube 17. Two connecting pipes 8, communicating with the steam chamber 6, are fixedly connected to opposite inner walls of the shell 1. An annular tube 9, allowing the connecting pipes 8 to communicate with each other, is fixedly connected to the bottom of the annular tube 9. Multiple connecting pipes 10, arranged opposite to each other and communicating with the annular tube 9, are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting pipes 10 and are connected to the same annular tube 11. The connecting pipes 10 and the annular tube 11 are connected. Inside the housing 1, below the annular tube 11, there is a stirring mechanism 4 to enhance the stirring effect. The stirring mechanism 4 includes two opposing upper fixed rods 41. Each upper fixed rod 41 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 43 at the ends away from each other. A lower fixed rod 44 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 43 near the upper fixed rod 41 below the upper fixed rod 41. A spiral stirring blade 45 is provided between the upper fixed rod 41 and the lower fixed rod 44. A motor 12 is fixedly connected to the top center of the top cover 2. A rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12, extending through the top cover 2 and into the interior of the housing 1. A stirring plate 14 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating shaft 13. The stirring plate 14 can abut against the upper fixed rod 41 and the lower fixed rod 44. A ring 42 is fixedly connected between the upper fixed rods 41 to enhance the stability of the connecting block 43. A scraper 46 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 43 away from the upper fixed rod 41. The scraper 46 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 1.

[0024] By setting up a steam chamber 6, when heating is required, raw materials can be added into the shell 1 through the feed pipe 15. Then, heated steam enters the spiral tube 17 through the air inlet pipe 7, rotating around one side of the inner wall of the steam chamber 6 before being ejected from the bottom side of the spiral tube 17, entering the steam chamber 6 to heat the inner wall of the shell 1. The steam in the steam chamber 6 also enters the first through-pipe 8, then through the first annular pipe 9, and finally into the second through-pipe 10 and the second annular pipe 11, heating the raw materials accumulated in the center of the shell 1. When stirring is required, the motor 12 can be started, causing the rotating shaft 13 to drive the stirring plate 14 to rotate. When the stirring plate 14 rotates, it will... The upper fixed rod 41 and the lower fixed rod 44 are in contact with each other, causing the upper fixed rod 41 and the lower fixed rod 44 to rotate, which in turn causes the spiral stirring blade 45 to rotate and stir the raw material. The connecting block 43 also drives the scraper block 46 to scrape and clean the inner wall of the shell 1, preventing residue from being left on the inner wall of the shell 1 when the material is discharged. At the same time, the raw material is driven upward by the spiral stirring blade 45, so that the raw material is constantly in contact with the second through pipe 10 and the second annular pipe 11 when it is being stirred. The advantage of this is that the raw material can be heated not only by the inner wall of the shell 1, but also by the first through pipe 8, the first annular pipe 9, the second through pipe 10 and the second annular pipe 11 when it is being stirred. With the help of the spiral stirring blade 45, the raw material near the center can be heated, ensuring the uniformity of temperature.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a water inlet pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shell 1. The water inlet pipe 16 is located above the spiral tube 17 and extends into the interior of the steam chamber 6. A water outlet pipe 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shell 1. The water outlet pipe 18 passes through one side of the shell 1 and communicates with the bottom of the steam chamber 6. By setting the water inlet pipe 16 and the water outlet pipe 18, the water inlet pipe 16 can release the steam inside the steam chamber 6. Moreover, after heating and stirring are completed, water or coolant can be added into the interior of the steam chamber 6 through the water inlet pipe 16 to quickly cool down the spiral tube 17. After cooling down, the water or coolant is discharged from the steam chamber 6 through the water outlet pipe 18. When discharging, the motor 12 rotates in the opposite direction, and the raw material is discharged downward through the spiral stirring blade 45. The auxiliary raw material can be discharged from the interior of the shell 1 more quickly through the discharge pipe 5, thus completing the discharge.

[0026] The technical solution provided by this utility model, by setting up a steam chamber 6, allows raw materials to be added into the shell 1 through the feed pipe 15 when heating is required. Then, heated steam enters the spiral tube 17 through the air inlet pipe 7, rotating around one side of the inner wall of the steam chamber 6 before being ejected from the bottom side of the spiral tube 17, entering the steam chamber 6 to heat the inner wall of the shell 1. Furthermore, the steam in the steam chamber 6 also enters the first through-pipe 8, and then through the first annular pipe 9 into the second through-pipe 10 and the second annular pipe 11, heating the raw materials accumulated at the center of the shell 1. When stirring is required, the motor 12 can be started, causing the rotating shaft 13 to drive the stirring plate 14 to rotate. When the 14 rotates, it will contact the upper fixed rod 41 and the lower fixed rod 44, causing the upper fixed rod 41 and the lower fixed rod 44 to rotate, so that the spiral stirring blade 45 rotates and stirs the raw material. The connecting block 43 will also drive the scraper 46 to scrape and clean the inner wall of the shell 1, preventing residue from being left on the inner wall of the shell 1 when discharging. At the same time, the raw material will be driven upward by the spiral stirring blade 45, so that the raw material will continuously contact the second through pipe 10 and the second annular pipe 11 when being stirred. The advantage of this is that the raw material can be heated not only by the inner wall of the shell 1 when being stirred, but also by the first through pipe 8, the first annular pipe 9, the second through pipe 10 and the second annular pipe 11. With the spiral stirring blade 45, the raw material near the center can be heated, ensuring the uniformity of temperature.

[0027] By setting up an inlet pipe 16 and an outlet pipe 18, the inlet pipe 16 can release the steam inside the steam chamber 6. After heating and stirring are completed, water or coolant can be added into the steam chamber 6 through the inlet pipe 16 to quickly cool the spiral tube 17. After cooling, the water or coolant is discharged from the steam chamber 6 through the outlet pipe 18. When discharging, the motor 12 rotates in the opposite direction, and the raw material is discharged downward through the spiral stirring blade 45. This helps the raw material to be discharged more quickly from the discharge pipe 5 and leave the interior of the shell 1, thus completing the discharge.
