Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mixing chamber technology, specifically relating to a vertical mixing chamber for bulk materials. Background Technology
[0002] A mixing silo is a silo equipped with mixing and agitation functions. Particles or powders are fed into a hopper connected to the silo. The material in the hopper is conveyed to the top of the silo via a screw conveyor inside the silo. After falling, the material is then conveyed upwards again by the screw conveyor, continuously circulating and agitating to achieve uniform mixing. However, in existing mixing silos, some particles or powders have high moisture content and cannot be dried in the silo. They need to be dried separately before being fed into the hopper, affecting mixing efficiency. Furthermore, the feeding of some powders into the hopper can easily generate dust, impacting the workplace environment. Utility Model Content

[0023] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. The embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, a vertical mixing bin for bulk materials includes a support frame 1, a hopper 2, a conveying assembly 3, a driving assembly 4, and a drying assembly 5. The support frame 1 includes a base and four supporting legs. The hopper 2 is mounted on the support frame 1. The four supporting legs are connected to the outer wall of the hopper 2 and extend upward to the top of the outer wall of the hopper 2 to fix the hopper 2. The hopper 2 is a cylindrical hopper with a cylindrical upper end and an inverted conical lower end.
[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the conveying assembly 3 is installed inside the hopper 2. The conveying assembly 3 includes an intermediate shaft 31, a spiral blade 32, and a first tube shell 33. The intermediate shaft 31 runs through the hopper 2 from top to bottom. The lower end of the inverted conical hopper body of the hopper 2 is provided with a second tube shell 21 corresponding to the intermediate shaft 31. The spiral blade 32 is installed on the intermediate shaft 31 and extends upward from the bottom end of the intermediate shaft 31 to a certain distance from the inner top wall of the hopper 2. The first tube shell 33 is sleeved on the spiral blade 32 and is connected to the inner wall of the hopper 2 by multiple support rods 34. The upper and lower ends of the first tube shell 33 are open. There is a certain distance between the lower end of the first tube shell 33 and the upper end of the second tube shell 21. The height of the upper end of the first tube shell 33 is lower than the height of the upper end of the spiral blade 32. The drive assembly 4 is connected to the conveying assembly 3. The drive assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41, a drive wheel 42, a pulley 43, and a belt 44. The drive motor 41 is connected to the support leg of the bracket 1 near the top of the hopper 2. The drive wheel 42 is connected to the drive motor 41. The intermediate shaft 31 passes through the top wall of the hopper 2 and is connected to the pulley 43. The pulley 43 and the drive wheel 42 are at the same height. The belt 44 is connected between the drive wheel 42 and the pulley 43. When the drive motor 41 is working, it drives the pulley 43 to rotate through the belt 44, thereby driving the intermediate shaft 31 to rotate. The second shell 21 is connected to a feed hopper 6. An inlet is opened on the side of the second shell 21 and communicates with the feed hopper 6. Particles or powders are poured into the second shell 21. Driven by the drive motor 41, the spiral blades 32 carry the material upward into the hopper 2. After accumulating, the material continues to rise under the conveying action of the spiral blades 32 and the first shell 33, and finally falls from the top of the first shell 33. The side wall of the hopper 2 is connected to a discharge pipe 22 and a return pipe 23. The height of the discharge pipe 22 and the return pipe 23 is lower than the lower end of the first shell 33. The outlet of the return pipe 23 is located on the feed hopper 6. Some of the material returns to the feed hopper 6 through the return pipe 23 and continues to be conveyed and stirred, thereby completing the stirring and mixing of the material. When it is necessary to discharge, the outlet of the return pipe 23 is opened and the falling material is discharged from the discharge pipe 22.
[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the drying assembly 5 is mounted on the support 1. The drying assembly 5 includes a fan 51, a first working pipe 52, a heater 53, and a control box 54. The fan 51 is connected to the support 1, and its outlet end is connected to the first working pipe 52. The first working pipe 52 is connected to the side wall of the hopper 2, and the connection point between the first working pipe 52 and the hopper 2 is located in the middle of the hopper 2, with the height of the connection point lower than the upper end of the first pipe shell 33. The heater 53 is an electric heater, and its heating element is located inside the first working pipe 52 to heat the air flowing through it. The control box 54 is connected to the support 1, and both the fan 51 and the heater 53 are electrically connected to the control box 54, allowing the operation of the fan 51 and the heater 53 to be controlled by a switch within the control box 54. When the drying assembly 5 is working, the fan 51 sends air into the first working pipe 52. The hot airflow, heated by the heater 53, enters the hopper 2, and the upward airflow dries the falling material. Multiple drying assemblies 5 can be installed as needed. A dust collection hood 81 is installed above the feed hopper 6. The dust collection hood 81 is a large hood. One side of the dust collection hood 81 is connected to the outer wall of the inverted conical hopper body of the hopper 2. The dust collection hood 81 is connected to the inlet end of the blower 51 through a hose 82. When the blower 51 is working, it generates negative pressure inside the dust collection hood 81, which draws in the air above the feed hopper 6, thereby reducing dust flying when the feed hopper 6 is emptying.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top wall of the silo 2 is provided with a ventilation opening, and a filter assembly 7 is provided at the ventilation opening. The filter assembly 7 includes a working box 71 and a filter cartridge 72. The working box 71 is located outside the silo 2, and the filter cartridge 72 is located inside the silo 2 and is connected to the working box 71. Multiple filter cartridges 72 can be provided as needed. The filter cartridge 72 is detachably connected to the top wall of the silo 2 by bolts. The filter cartridge 72 includes an outer cylinder 721, a filter bag 722 and an inner cylinder 723. The outer cylinder 721 is provided with multiple through holes. The filter bag 722 is located inside the outer cylinder 721. The filtration accuracy of the filter bag 722 can be selected as needed. The inner cylinder 723 is located inside the filter bag 722. The inner cylinder 723 is also provided with multiple through holes. An air outlet pipe 711 is connected to the working box 71. The air in the silo 2 is filtered by the filter bag 722 of the filter cartridge 72 and then discharged from the air outlet pipe 711.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the first working pipe 52 is connected to the working box 71 through the second working pipe 55. The first working pipe 52 is equipped with a first shut-off valve 521, the second working pipe 55 is equipped with a second shut-off valve 551, and the air outlet pipe 711 is equipped with a third shut-off valve 712. The first shut-off valve 521, the second shut-off valve 551, and the third shut-off valve 712 are all electric valves and are electrically connected to the control box 54. The control box 54 controls the opening and closing of the three shut-off valves. When it is necessary to dry the material in the hopper 2, the first shut-off valve 521 and the third shut-off valve 712 are opened, the second shut-off valve 551 is closed, and the airflow enters the hopper 2 from the first working pipe 52 to dry the descending material. The dried airflow passes through the filter cartridge 72 and is discharged from the air outlet pipe 711. The powder adheres to the outer wall of the filter bag 722. When it is necessary to backflush the filter bag 722 of the filter cartridge 72, the first shut-off valve 521 and the third shut-off valve 712 are closed, the second shut-off valve 551 is opened, the airflow enters the second working pipe 55 from the first working pipe 52, and then enters the filter cartridge 72 through the working box 71, thereby blowing the powder off the outer wall of the filter bag 722, completing the backflushing, and the powder falls into the hopper 2.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
