Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pulp production, and in particular to a pulper for pulp production. Background Technology
[0002] Pulp is an important raw material for papermaking. Before pulping, the paper is often crushed into strips by a crusher. When the paper strips enter the pulper, the auger blades have limited crushing ability and will transport the paper strips to one end of the pulper, causing the paper strips to easily clump together. This further increases the resistance to shredding, reduces the efficiency of pulp production, and the resulting pulp, being clump together, is also not conducive to subsequent grinding and refining.
[0003] Understandably, since traditional pulpers mostly use rotating crushing structures such as augers, during the pulping process, some of the pulp adheres to the inner wall under the action of centrifugal force. Due to the high surface tension of the pulp, the adhered pulp is not easy to detach, which affects the overall crushing efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a pulper for pulp production, which aims to solve the problem of pulp adhering to the inner wall during the pulping process in existing pulping equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a pulper for pulp production, comprising a frame and a pulping tank. A motor is mounted on the frame, and a pulping wheel assembly is disposed inside the pulping tank. The pulping wheel assembly includes a sun gear, planetary gears, and a scraper ring. The sun gear is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the planetary gears are rotatably connected to a planetary carrier. The planetary carrier is fixedly connected to the frame. The inner ring of the scraper ring meshes with the planetary gears, and the outer ring of the scraper ring is rotatably disposed with respect to the pulping tank. The scraper ring is provided with a plurality of scraper rods that abut against the inner wall of the scraper tank.
[0006] Optionally, the output shaft of the motor is connected to a first pulping assembly, which includes two pulping blades arranged in opposite directions.
[0007] Optionally, the planetary gear shaft is connected to a pulping plate, and the pulping plate is provided with several cutting edges at an angle.
[0008] Optionally, the contact surface between the scraper ring and the pulping tank is provided with a groove, and a plurality of ball bearings are provided in the groove.
[0009] Optionally, the output shaft of the motor is also connected to a second pulping assembly. The second pulping assembly includes a scraper seat and a plurality of pulping blades. The plurality of pulping blades are evenly distributed at intervals on the scraper seat, and the scraper seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor output shaft.
[0010] Optionally, the outer diameter of the scraper seat increases from top to bottom.
[0011] Optionally, a plurality of the pulping blades are inclined on the scraper seat, and the inclination direction of the blade edge is opposite to the inclination direction of the pulping blade.
[0012] Optionally, the opening of the pulping tank is detachably connected to a tank lid.
[0013] This invention completes the pulping process by rotating the pulping blade and pulping blade. At the same time, since the sun gear, planetary gear, and scraper ring form a planetary gear set, and the planetary carrier is fixed on the frame, the sun gear uses a motor as the power input and the scraper ring as the power output. In addition, since the scraper ring is equipped with a scraper rod, when the sun gear drives the first pulping component and the second pulping component to perform pulping operations, the scraper ring drives the scraper rod to scrape off the clumps on the inner wall of the pulping tank. This solves the problem of pulp adhering to the inner wall during the pulping process in existing pulping equipment, and realizes the synchronous crushing and uniform mixing of pulp in the pulping tank.

[0030] Example 1:
[0031] Please refer to the attached document as well. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5This embodiment provides a pulper for pulp production, including a frame 1 and a pulp tank 2. A motor 4 is mounted on the frame 1, and a pulping wheel assembly 3 is mounted inside the pulp tank 2. The pulping wheel assembly 3 includes a sun gear 31, a planetary gear 32, and a scraper ring 33. The sun gear 31 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 4, and the planetary gear 32 is rotatably connected to a planetary carrier 34. The planetary carrier 34 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The inner ring of the scraper ring 33 meshes with the planetary gear 32, and the outer ring of the scraper ring 33 is rotatably mounted with the pulp tank 2. The scraper ring 33 is provided with a plurality of scraper rods 35 that abut against the inner wall of the scraper tank.
[0032] It should be noted that since traditional pulpers basically use rotating crushing structures such as augers, during the pulping process, some of the pulp adheres to the inner wall under the action of centrifugal force. Due to the high surface tension of the pulp, the adhered pulp is not easy to fall off, which affects the overall crushing efficiency.
[0033] Based on the above problems, the applicant proposed a pulper for pulp production. This pulper uses a pulping wheel assembly 3 within the pulping tank 2 to simultaneously perform pulping and scraping operations. Specifically, a first pulping component 5 and a second pulping component 6 for pulping are mounted on the gear shaft of the sun gear 31. The pulping process is completed by the rotation of the pulping blades 51 and 62. Furthermore, the sun gear 31, planetary gears 32, and scraper ring 33 form a planetary gear set 32, with the planetary carrier 34 fixed. On the frame 1, the sun gear 31 uses the motor 4 as the power input and the scraper ring 33 as the power output. In addition, since the scraper ring 33 is equipped with a scraper rod 35, when the sun gear 31 drives the first pulping component 5 and the second pulping component 6 to perform pulping operations, the scraper ring 33 drives the scraper rod 35 to scrape off the clumps on the inner wall of the pulping tank 2. This solves the problem of pulp adhering to the inner wall during the pulping process in the prior art pulping equipment, and realizes the synchronous crushing and uniform mixing of pulp in the pulping tank 2.
[0034] In this embodiment, the output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to a first pulping assembly 5, which includes two opposing pulping blades 51. It is understood that traditional pulpers typically utilize rotating crushing structures such as augers, which have limited crushing capacity for paper strips and easily cause the paper strips to clump together, increasing shredding resistance and reducing pulp production efficiency. However, by setting two opposing pulping blades 51, the pulp can be cut and crushed more effectively under the drive of the motor 4, preventing paper strip clumping and thus improving pulping efficiency.
[0035] When motor 4 starts, the sun gear 31 rotates, which in turn drives the planetary gear 32 meshing with it. The planetary gear 32 is mounted on the planetary carrier 34, which is fixed to the frame 1. The rotation of the planetary gear 32 then drives the outer ring of the scraper ring 33 to rotate. Simultaneously, the two opposing scraper blades 51 in the first pulping assembly 5 rotate at high speed under the drive of motor 4, initially breaking down the paper strips entering the pulping tank 2. The broken pulp is then scraped by the scraper rods 35 on the scraper ring 33 within the pulping tank 2, preventing it from adhering to the tank wall and ensuring that the pulp is evenly distributed and continuously broken down within the tank. Based on this process, not only are the problems of pulp adhesion and agglomeration solved, but also the synchronous breaking down and uniform mixing of the pulp within the pulping tank 2 are achieved. Through the initial breaking down by the first pulping assembly 5 and the synergistic effect of subsequent components, the pulp can be fully dispersed and uniformly processed within the pulping tank 2, which is beneficial for subsequent grinding and refining of the pulp.
[0036] In this embodiment, the planetary gear 32 has a pulping plate 36 connected to its gear shaft. The pulping plate 36 has several obliquely angled cutting edges 37. The pulping plate 36 with the cutting edges 37 can more finely cut and crush the pulp during the rotation of the planetary gear 32. Furthermore, the cutting edges 37 reduce rotational resistance during crushing. Because the pulping plate 36 is connected to the gear shaft of the planetary gear 32, the cutting edges 37 on the pulping plate 36, under the combined action of the planetary gear 32's revolution and rotation, perform multi-angle, high-intensity cutting and crushing of the pulp. Simultaneously, the scraper ring 33 rotates under the drive of the sun gear 31, and its scraper rod 35 scrapes away the pulp from the inner wall of the pulping tank 2, preventing pulp adhesion and ensuring that the pulp is evenly distributed and continuously crushed within the tank.
[0037] In this embodiment, the contact surface between the scraper ring 33 and the pulp tank 2 is provided with a groove 331, and a plurality of balls 332 are disposed in the groove 331. Based on the above structure, the groove 331 and the balls 332 on the scraper ring 33 form rolling friction in the area in contact with the inner wall of the pulp tank 2. Specifically, when the scraper ring 33 rotates, the balls 332 roll in the groove 331, which greatly reduces the friction between the scraper ring 33 and the tank wall. This rolling friction not only allows the scraper ring 33 to move more smoothly on the tank wall, but also more effectively scrapes off the pulp clumps attached to the tank wall.
[0038] In this embodiment, the output shaft of the motor 4 is also connected to a second pulping assembly 6. The second pulping assembly 6 includes a scraper seat 61 and a plurality of pulping blades 62. The plurality of pulping blades 62 are evenly distributed at intervals on the scraper seat 61. The scraper seat 61 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the output shaft of the motor 4. The outer diameter of the scraper seat 61 increases from top to bottom.
[0039] Understandably, in traditional pulpers, pulp clumps tend to settle to the bottom of the pulping tank 2 during the pulping process, forming bottom clumps that are difficult to break up, resulting in uneven pulping and affecting pulp quality and production efficiency. Based on the above structure, to further enhance the pulping capacity of the pulper, a second pulping component 6 is added, which can perform more comprehensive and detailed cutting and breaking of the pulp under the drive of the motor 4. Specifically, the second pulping component 6 at the bottom of the output shaft of the motor 4 also rotates at high speed. The pulping blades 62 on the scraper 61 further cut and break up the pulp clumps that have settled to the bottom of the pulping tank 2. The scraper ring 33 rotates under the drive of the sun gear 31, and the scraper rod 35 on it scrapes the pulp off the inner wall of the pulping tank 2 to prevent pulp from adhering and ensure that the pulp is evenly distributed and continuously broken up in the tank. During this process, the design of the scraper 61 of the second pulping assembly 6, with its outer diameter increasing from top to bottom, generates a gradually increasing thrust during rotation, lifting the settled pulp clumps upwards and causing them to re-enter the central area of the pulping tank 2, thus preventing the formation of clumps at the bottom. Simultaneously, the inclined setting of the pulping blade 62 and the reverse inclination of the blade edge 37 enable a more efficient pulping effect during cutting, reducing energy loss.
[0040] In this embodiment, several pulping blades 62 are inclinedly arranged on the scraper seat 61, and the inclination direction of the cutting edge 37 is opposite to the inclination direction of the pulping blade 62. During the overall operation of the pulper, the planetary gear 32, the sun gear 31, the scraper ring 33, and other structures together constitute a complex pulping wheel assembly 3. When the motor 4 starts, the sun gear 31 rotates first, thereby driving the planetary gear 32 meshing with it to revolve. Simultaneously, the planetary gear 32 itself also rotates around its gear shaft. Since the pulping plate 36 is connected to the gear shaft of the planetary gear 32, the cutting edge 37 on the pulping plate 36, under the dual action of the planetary gear 32's revolution and rotation, performs multi-angle, high-intensity cutting and crushing of the pulp. At the same time, the scraper ring 33 rotates under the drive of the sun gear 31, and its scraper rod 35 scrapes the pulp from the inner wall of the pulping tank 2, preventing pulp adhesion and ensuring that the pulp is evenly distributed and continuously crushed within the tank. In another preferred embodiment, the second pulping component 6 is separately installed at the bottom of the pulping tank 2 and driven by another motor 4 to achieve reverse crushing of the first crushing component and the second crushing component.
[0041] In this embodiment, a lid 7 is detachably connected to the opening of the pulping tank 2. The lid 7 helps to protect the internal structure of the crusher.
[0042] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
