Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bentonite production technology, and in particular to a bentonite batching device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of bentonite, it is crucial to accurately proportion and thoroughly mix various ingredients such as bentonite ore and additives. In practical applications, bentonite batching equipment typically requires the following technologies:

[0003] 1. Feeding mechanisms, such as screw feeders and belt feeders, can stably transport various ingredients to designated locations;

[0004] 2. A mixing mechanism, such as a paddle mixer or a ribbon mixer, to achieve thorough mixing of the ingredients;

[0005] 3. Conveying mechanisms, such as screw conveyors and pneumatic conveyors, ensure smooth transportation of ingredients between each stage.

[0006] Bentonite requires batching and mixing during processing, and currently, the batching is mostly done manually by weighing each ingredient separately.

[0007] However, during the implementation of the above technical solutions, at least the following technical problems were found: When manually preparing ingredients, workers need to frequently weigh and add materials, which is physically demanding and can easily lead to fatigue and errors. In addition, the ingredient preparation process is time-consuming and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production, thus reducing overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a bentonite batching device, which solves the technical problem that when manually batching materials, workers need to frequently perform operations such as weighing and adding materials, which is labor-intensive, easily leads to fatigue and errors, and the batching process is time-consuming, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale production and reduces the overall production efficiency.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0010] A bentonite batching device includes a mixing tank, a storage hopper uniformly fixedly installed at the top of the mixing tank, a discharge pipe fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage hopper, a batching column arranged below the storage hopper, a batching disc rotatably installed at the bottom of the batching column, a driven gear ring fixedly installed on the outer wall of the batching disc, a stepper motor fixedly installed at the side end of the mixing tank, a drive gear fixedly installed on the shaft of the stepper motor, the discharge pipe located inside the batching column, and a discharge port opened at the bottom of the batching disc; the drive gear and the driven gear ring mesh with each other.

[0011] Preferably, a stirring rod is installed inside the mixing tank, and a dual-shaft motor is fixedly installed on the batching column.

[0012] Preferably, a coupling is installed between the shaft of the dual-shaft motor and the stirring rod.

[0013] Preferably, a corrugated disc is fixedly mounted on the shaft of the dual-axis motor.

[0014] Preferably, a ball bearing seat is fixedly installed on the storage hopper.

[0015] Preferably, a ball bearing is rotatably mounted inside the ball bearing seat.

[0016] Preferably, the corrugated disc has corrugated grooves.

[0017] Preferably, the top of the ball shaft is located within the corrugated groove of the corrugated disc.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. In operation, each ingredient is placed into a separate storage hopper. The raw materials will slide down the inclined surface at the bottom of the storage hopper into the feeding pipe. The stepper motor, controlled by the host computer, is started and drives the batching disc to rotate, aligning the discharge port on the batching disc with the feeding pipe. When the discharge port of the batching disc aligns with the feeding pipe, the ingredients in the feeding pipe fall into the mixing tank below. During rotation, the batching disc can align with different feeding pipes, allowing different ingredients to enter the mixing tank below. The amount of ingredients falling below will vary depending on the alignment time between the batching disc and the feeding pipe. In summary, under the control of the host computer, the stepper motor drives the batching disc to rotate, aligning the discharge port of the batching disc with multiple feeding pipes. The alignment time with each feeding pipe is controlled by the host computer to control the proportion between the ingredients, thus achieving automatic batching and improving production efficiency.

[0020] Second, during the batching process, the dual-shaft motor will start and drive the stirring rod to rotate through the coupling, stirring the ingredients entering the mixing tank. At the same time, the dual-shaft motor will also drive the corrugated plate to rotate. The corrugated grooves on the corrugated plate will cause the ball shaft to swing. The swinging of the ball shaft can stir the ingredients in the feed pipe and break the "bridging" structure between the materials in the feed pipe, thus avoiding the blockage of the feed and affecting the batching accuracy.

[0029] This application provides a bentonite batching device that effectively solves the technical problems of manual batching, which requires workers to frequently weigh and add materials, leading to high labor intensity, fatigue, and errors. Furthermore, the batching process is time-consuming and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production, thus reducing overall production efficiency. In use, each ingredient is placed into a different storage hopper. The raw materials slide down the inclined surface at the bottom of the hopper into the discharge pipe. A stepper motor, controlled by a host computer, drives the batching disc to rotate, aligning its outlet with the discharge pipe. When the outlet of the batching disc aligns with the discharge pipe, the ingredients fall into the mixing tank below. During rotation, the batching disc aligns with different discharge pipes, allowing different ingredients to enter the mixing tank below. The amount of ingredients falling into the lower part will vary depending on the alignment time of the tubes. In summary, under the control of the host computer, the stepper motor drives the batching disc to rotate, aligning the discharge port of the batching disc with multiple discharge tubes. The alignment time with each discharge tube is controlled by the host computer to control the ratio between the ingredients, thus completing the automatic batching and improving production efficiency. During the batching process, the dual-shaft motor will start and drive the stirring rod to rotate through the coupling, stirring the ingredients entering the mixing tank. At the same time, the dual-shaft motor will also drive the corrugated disc to rotate. The corrugated grooves on the corrugated disc will cause the ball shaft to swing. The swinging of the ball shaft can stir the ingredients in the discharge tubes and break the "bridging" structure formed between the materials in the discharge tubes, thus avoiding blockages that affect the batching accuracy.

The feed pipe 3 is located inside the batching column 4. The bottom of the batching plate 5 has a discharge port. The drive gear 8 and the driven gear ring 6 mesh with each other. A stirring rod 11 is rotatably installed inside the mixing tank 1. A dual-shaft motor 9 is fixedly installed on the batching column 4.

[0034] A coupling 12 is installed between the rotating shaft of the dual-shaft motor 9 and the stirring rod 11. A corrugated disk 13 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the dual-shaft motor 9. A ball bearing seat 14 is fixedly installed on the storage hopper 2. A ball bearing rod 15 is rotatably installed inside the ball bearing seat 14. A corrugated groove is opened on the corrugated disk 13. The top end of the ball bearing rod 15 is located in the corrugated groove opened on the corrugated disk 13.

[0035] Mixing tank 1: This is the main structure of the device, and its interior also serves as a chamber for mixing ingredients;

[0036] Storage hopper 2: Used to store different ingredients, its sloping bottom helps the ingredients slide down;

[0037] Feed pipe 3: serves as a feeding channel;

[0038] Batching column 4: It serves to support and fix other components;

[0039] Ingredient tray 5: By rotating the control panel, the discharge port is aligned with different feeding pipes 3 to achieve quantitative feeding of different ingredients;

[0040] Driven gear ring 6: meshes with driving gear 8 to achieve transmission;

[0041] Stepper motor 7: Provides power under the control of the host computer to drive the batching tray 5 to rotate;

[0042] Drive gear 8: It cooperates with driven gear ring 6 to transmit power;

[0043] Dual-shaft motor 9: After starting, it drives the stirring rod 11 to rotate and stir the ingredients that have entered the mixing tank 1, and drives the corrugated plate 13 to rotate, causing the ball shaft rod 15 to swing.

[0044] Stirring rod 11: Stirs the ingredients that enter the mixing tank 1;

[0045] Coupling 12: connects the rotating shaft of the dual-shaft motor 9 and the stirring rod 11 to realize power transmission;

[0046] Corrugated disc 13: Its corrugated grooves cause the ball shaft 15 to swing.

[0048] Ball shaft 15: Swings to mix the ingredients in the feed pipe 3, disrupting the "bridging" structure.

[0049] Working principle:

[0050] The first step involves connecting the stepper motor 7 and the dual-axis motor 9 to the host computer and PLC control system. The opening at the bottom of the mixing tank 1 is connected to the conveying mechanism. During use, each ingredient is placed into a different storage hopper 2. The raw materials will slide down the inclined surface at the bottom of the storage hopper 2 into the discharge pipe 3. The stepper motor 7, controlled by the host computer, is started, driving the batching disc 5 to rotate so that the discharge port on the batching disc 5 aligns with the discharge pipe 3. When the discharge port of the batching disc 5 aligns with the discharge pipe 3, the ingredients in the discharge pipe 3 fall into the mixing tank below. In the mixing tank 1, the batching disc 5 can align with different feeding pipes 3 during rotation, allowing different ingredients to enter the mixing tank 1 below. The timing of the alignment between the batching disc 5 and the feeding pipes 3 will affect the amount of ingredients falling into the tank. In summary, under the control of the host computer, the stepper motor 7 drives the batching disc 5 to rotate, aligning the discharge port of the batching disc 5 with multiple feeding pipes 3. The timing of alignment with each feeding pipe 3 is controlled by the host computer to control the proportion of each ingredient, thus achieving automatic batching and improving production efficiency.

[0051] In the second step, during the batching process, the dual-shaft motor 9 will be started. The dual-shaft motor 9 will drive the stirring rod 11 to rotate through the coupling 12, stirring the batching materials entering the mixing tank 1. At the same time, the dual-shaft motor 9 will also drive the corrugated plate 13 to rotate. The corrugated grooves on the corrugated plate 13 will cause the ball shaft 15 to swing. The swinging of the ball shaft 15 can stir the batching materials in the feed pipe 3, breaking the "bridging" structure formed between the materials in the feed pipe 3, thus achieving the effect of avoiding blockage in the feed and affecting the batching accuracy.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
