Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixer cleaning technology, specifically to an automatic cleaning device and anti-clogging structure for materials inside a mixer. Background Technology

[0002] A mixer is a high-efficiency mechanical device that cleverly utilizes various mechanical principles, such as mechanical force and gravity, to uniformly and meticulously mix two or more different materials. During the mixing process, the mixer not only achieves thorough integration between materials but also significantly increases the contact surface area, a characteristic crucial for promoting chemical reactions. Simultaneously, it effectively accelerates physical changes such as dissolution, dispersion, and homogenization, thereby greatly improving mixing efficiency and product quality. However, it is worth noting that after using a mixer, the inside of the tank often requires thorough cleaning. This is because if any material from the previous mixing remains inside the tank, it will not only contaminate the material to be mixed next time, affecting the quality and performance of the final product, but may also adversely affect the normal operation of the mixer.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN219252466U, which discloses a rapid cleaning structure for a mixer. This patent discloses that the controller starts the cleaning mechanism, controls the water flow through a pressure regulator inside the water tank, rotates the motor to drive the water outlet to rotate, and discharges water through the outlet to clean the inner wall of the mixing tank, ensuring that the inside of the mixing tank is clean.

[0004] In the application of the above structure, the layout of the water outlet is crucial to the cleaning effect. However, as can be seen from the products described, this cleaning system may have limited adaptability to mixing tanks of different shapes and sizes. If the specifications of the mixing tank change, the system may need to be redesigned and adjusted to meet the new cleaning requirements. Furthermore, the system's flexibility may also be limited, for example, the cleaning cycle or cleaning intensity cannot be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0005] Based on this, this utility model designs an automatic cleaning device and anti-clogging structure for materials inside a mixer to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an automatic cleaning device for materials inside a mixer and an anti-clogging structure.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An automatic material cleaning device and anti-clogging structure for the inside of a mixer, comprising:

[0009] The mixer body is used for mixing and stirring materials;

[0010] A cleaning component is used for cleaning the mixer body after mixing and stirring.

[0011] The water return assembly is used to extract wastewater after the mixer body is cleaned.

[0012] The cleaning assembly consists of a first water inlet pipe, a second water inlet pipe, a first connecting pipe, and a second connecting pipe. One end of the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe are respectively inclined and staggered horizontally. The first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe are connected to each other through the first connecting pipe. One side of the first connecting pipe is connected to the second connecting pipe. One end of the second connecting pipe passes through the mixer body and is connected to the water outlet assembly.

[0013] The water outlet assembly includes a threaded sleeve, an installation pipe, an annular groove, an annular disc, a rotating block, and a baffle. The threaded sleeve is connected to one end of the second connecting pipe. The installation pipe is sleeved inside the threaded sleeve. The annular groove is formed inside the installation pipe. The annular disc rotates within the annular groove. The rotating block is installed at the center of the annular disc. A water guide groove is formed on one side of the rotating block. The baffle is sleeved on one side of the installation pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, the water return assembly is installed on one side of the cleaning assembly. The water return assembly consists of a water pump and a drain pipe. One end of the drain pipe passes through the bottom of the mixer body and is connected to the interior of the mixer body.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer side of the shield is provided with several water holes, which are connected to the interior of the mounting pipe.

[0016] Furthermore, one end of the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe are connected to the interior of the first connecting pipe via a water pressure regulator.

[0017] Furthermore, one end of the water guide channel extends gradually along the central axis of one side of the rotating block in an inclined manner.

[0018] An anti-clogging structure is applied to the drain pipe, wherein the drain pipe is provided with a filter assembly and a water storage response assembly. The water storage response assembly is spherical and located on one side of the drain pipe, and is hollow inside. A water level sensor is installed inside the water storage response assembly. The interior of the filter assembly is connected to the interior of the drain pipe, and a filter screen is installed inside the filter assembly perpendicular to and parallel to the interior of the drain pipe.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0020] 1. This utility model, by introducing an external water supply pump and water pressure regulator, can precisely control the pressure and flow rate of the cleaning water source, ensuring the effective utilization of the water source during the cleaning process. The cleaning water source is efficiently pumped into the cleaning system of the mixer body, achieving efficient and comprehensive cleaning of the inside of the mixer and significantly improving cleaning efficiency.

[0021] 2. This utility model features a cleaning assembly combining an annular disc and a rotating block. When the cleaning water impacts the annular disc, it drives the disc to rotate along the annular groove, which in turn drives the rotating block to rotate. This innovative design not only enhances the dynamic effect of cleaning but also, through the centrifugal force generated by the rotation, allows the cleaning water to be more evenly distributed and act on the inner wall of the mixer body, improving the uniformity and depth of cleaning.

[0022] 3.

[0023] 4. This utility model combines the water guide groove designed on the side of the rotating block with the water holes on the baffle cover to form a unique water flow impact path, dividing the cleaning water source into a water column structure and enhancing the impact force of the water flow. This design not only improves cleaning efficiency but also helps to reach hard-to-reach areas inside the mixer body, ensuring thorough cleaning without dead corners.

[0024] 5. This utility model features a rationally designed and easy-to-operate cleaning system. Users only need to start the external water pump and adjust the water pressure to complete the cleaning operation, greatly simplifying the process. Furthermore, the various components of the system are easy to disassemble and clean, reducing maintenance costs and extending the equipment's lifespan. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0035] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the orientation from the perspective of the front view.

[0036] In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-6An automatic cleaning device and anti-clogging structure for materials inside a mixer are disclosed, comprising: a mixer body 1 for mixing and stirring materials; a cleaning component 2 for cleaning the mixer body 1 after mixing and stirring; and a water return component 3 for removing wastewater after cleaning the mixer body 1. The cleaning component 2 is composed of a first water inlet pipe 21, a second water inlet pipe 22, a first connecting pipe 23, and a second connecting pipe 24. One end of the first water inlet pipe 21 and the second water inlet pipe 22 is connected to an external water supply pump to pump cleaning water into the first water inlet pipe 21 and the second water inlet pipe 22. The other end of the first water inlet pipe 21 and the second water inlet pipe 22 is connected to the inside of the first connecting pipe 23 through a water pressure regulator to regulate the pressure of the cleaning water pumped into the first water inlet pipe 21 and the second water inlet pipe 22 by the external water supply pump.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first water inlet pipe 21 and the second water inlet pipe 22 are connected by a first connecting pipe 23. A second connecting pipe 24 is connected to one side of the first connecting pipe 23. One end of the second connecting pipe 24 passes through the mixer body 1 and is connected to the water outlet assembly 6.

[0038] In this embodiment, the water outlet assembly 6 includes a threaded sleeve 61, an installation pipe 62, an annular groove 63, an annular disc 64, a rotating block 65, and a baffle 66. The threaded sleeve 61 is connected to one end of the second connecting pipe 24. The installation pipe 62 is fitted inside the threaded sleeve 61. The annular groove 63 is opened inside the installation pipe 62. The annular disc 64 rotates within the annular groove 63. The rotating block 65 is installed at the center of the annular disc 64. The center of the annular disc 64 has an annular through-type structure. The side of the rotating block 65 is welded to the inner side of the annular through-type structure at the center of the annular disc 64, and the two are connected in a "+" shape to ensure the passage of the cleaning water source while reducing the overall structure of the water outlet assembly 6.

[0039] In this embodiment, a water guide groove is provided on one side of the rotating block 65, and one end of the water guide groove extends gradually towards the central axis of one side of the rotating block 65 in an inclined manner. The blocking cover 66 is sleeved on one side of the mounting tube 62.

[0040] In this embodiment, during the use of the equipment, when the material mixing operation inside the mixer body 1 is completed and cleaning is required, the external water supply pump is started. The external water supply pump pumps the cleaning water source into the first water inlet pipe 21 and the second water inlet pipe 22. The pressure of the cleaning water source is adjusted by the water pressure regulator. The cleaning water source is pumped into the first connecting pipe 23 through the first water inlet pipe 21 and the second water inlet pipe 22 respectively through the water pressure regulator, and then pumped into the interior of the threaded sleeve 61 and the mounting pipe 62 through the second connecting pipe 24. The cleaning water source rushes onto the annular disc 64, causing the annular disc 64 to rotate along the annular groove 63 and causing the rotating block 65 to rotate. The cleaning water source forms a water flow impact path along the water guide groove on one side of the rotating block 65 and is divided into a water column structure by several water holes on the baffle 66, thus cleaning the interior of the mixer body 1. The size of the inner wall of the mixer body 1 can be rinsed by adjusting the water flow.

[0041] In this embodiment, one end of the first water inlet pipe 21 and the second water inlet pipe 22 are respectively inclined and staggered horizontally. The purpose of this arrangement is that the water flow velocity is affected by the height difference. When the height difference is large, the water flow velocity may be faster. At the junction of the first connecting pipe 23 and the second connecting pipe 24, the water velocity will increase due to the change in water flow direction and collision. In addition, the water flow velocity will continue to increase due to the pumping volume of the external water supply pump. When the water pressure regulator fails, the cleaning operation will not be affected temporarily, ensuring the continuity of the cleaning operation and thus improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0042] An anti-clogging structure is applied to the drain pipe 31;

[0043] The water return component 3 is installed on one side of the cleaning component 2. The water return component 3 consists of a water pump and a drain pipe 31. One end of the drain pipe 31 passes through the bottom of the mixer body 1 and is connected to the interior of the mixer body 1. Several water holes are provided on the outer side of the baffle 66, and the water holes are connected to the interior of the mounting pipe 62. A filter assembly 5 and a water storage response assembly 4 are respectively provided on the drain pipe 31. The water storage response assembly 4 is spherical and located on one side of the drain pipe 31, and its interior is hollow. A water level sensor 41 is installed inside the water storage response assembly 4. The interior of the filter assembly 5 is connected to the interior of the drain pipe 31, and a filter screen is installed inside the filter assembly 5 perpendicular to and parallel to the interior of the drain pipe 31. After the mixer body 1 in the above embodiment is cleaned, the bottom of the mixer body 1 is opened through a valve or other control structure, and the water pump is started. The wastewater from the cleaning inside the mixer body 1 is pumped out through the drain pipe 31. The water flows through the water storage response assembly 4. When the filter assembly 5 becomes clogged, it first accumulates in the water storage response assembly 4. Figure 3It can be seen that since the diameter of the water storage response component 4 is larger than that of the drain pipe 31, it does not affect the normal discharge of wastewater in the mixer body 1 in the early stage. When the filter component 5 is blocked, the water level in the water storage response component 4 rises slowly. When it passes the water level sensor 41, the water level sensor 41 issues an alarm and issues an alarm and other prompt information through the external controller.

[0044] The filter component 5 is existing technology and will not be described in detail.

[0045] In summary, this invention integrates intelligent monitoring and alarm functions into the wastewater discharge system of the mixer body. A water level sensor monitors water level changes in the water storage response component in real time. When the filter component becomes clogged, causing an abnormal rise in water level, the water level sensor quickly issues an alarm and provides alarm information via an external controller. This design effectively avoids wastewater retention caused by filter clogging, ensuring timely and smooth wastewater discharge.

[0046] High-efficiency wastewater treatment process: After the mixer body is cleaned, the bottom of the mixer body can be easily opened through valves and other control structures, the water pump can be started, and the cleaning wastewater can be efficiently pumped away through the drain pipe. This process design is simple and efficient, and can quickly remove wastewater from the inside of the mixer, providing convenience for subsequent use or maintenance.

[0047] The buffering effect of the water storage response component: The design of the water storage response component not only provides temporary storage space for wastewater, but more importantly, its diameter, which is larger than that of the drain pipe, allows wastewater to drain smoothly and normally when the filter component is not clogged, without being obstructed by the presence of the water storage component. When the filter component is clogged, the water storage response component acts as a buffer, allowing the water level to rise slowly, providing sufficient time for the water level sensor to issue an alarm.

[0048] Preventative maintenance and timely response: Real-time monitoring and alarm alerts from water level sensors allow users to promptly understand the clogging status of the filter components and take appropriate maintenance measures. This preventative maintenance strategy not only avoids more serious equipment failures caused by clogging but also improves the reliability and lifespan of the equipment.

[0049] System compatibility and scalability: This intelligent monitoring and alarm system is easily integrated with external controllers or other intelligent devices, exhibiting excellent system compatibility and scalability. Users can integrate alarm information into a wider range of monitoring systems or automated control processes according to their actual needs, achieving a higher level of equipment management and maintenance.

[0050] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
