Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of storage equipment for plastic processing additives, and in particular relates to a storage device for plastic processing additives that is easy to clean. Background Technology
[0002] Plastic processing aids, also known as plastic additives, are compounds that must be added to polymers (synthetic resins) during molding to improve their processing performance or to compensate for deficiencies in the resin's inherent properties. Plastic processing aids are typically stored in containers made of special materials. However, due to their inherent properties, plastic additives tend to adhere easily to the inner walls of the containers, making them difficult to clean and potentially impacting the lifespan of the storage device.
[0003] Existing storage devices for plastic processing additives are mostly cleaned manually with brushes after storage, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Some traditional storage devices use mechanical cleaning, but this usually only cleans the inner wall of the tank, rarely cleaning the bottom, thus creating cleaning dead zones and affecting its use. Furthermore, the uneven force applied by the mechanical cleaning brush during contact with the tank interior can easily damage the brush or create blind spots on the inner side of the tank, affecting the cleaning quality. Therefore, we propose a storage device for plastic processing additives that is easy to clean. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a storage device for plastic processing additives that is easy to clean, thereby solving existing problems.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model relates to a storage device for plastic processing additives that is easy to clean. It includes a storage tank and a storage cover mounted on top of the tank. The bottom of the storage tank is funnel-shaped. A sealing ring is provided between the storage tank and the storage cover. A locking structure using screws and threaded holes is used between the storage tank and the storage cover. Several support legs are fixedly connected to the periphery of the storage tank. A solenoid valve is fixedly connected to the discharge port at the bottom of the storage tank. A bracket is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the storage cover. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bracket. A rotating plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor through the bracket. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the rotating plate. A slotted plate is nested on the periphery of the sliding rod. The shape and size of the sliding rod are adapted to the slotted plate, and the sliding rod and slotted plate slide together. The storage cover... A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the upper end face. A T-shaped groove is opened on the side of the fixing plate. A T-shaped block is slidably connected in the T-shaped groove. A toothed plate is fixedly connected to the side end face of the T-shaped block. The shape and size of the T-shaped groove are adapted to the T-shaped block. The T-shaped groove and the T-shaped block slide together to lock the movement trajectory of the toothed plate. A gear is meshed with the side end face of the toothed plate. The shape and size of the gear teeth are adapted to the toothed plate. The gear meshes with the toothed plate. A connecting block is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the toothed plate. The upper end face of the connecting block is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the groove plate. A speed-changing gear is meshed with the side end face of the gear. A threaded screw is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the speed-changing gear. The shape and size of the gear teeth are adapted to the speed-changing gear. The gear meshes with the speed-changing gear.
[0007] A guide post is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the storage cover. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the free end of the guide post. An auxiliary rotating rod is fixedly connected to the free end of the threaded screw through the storage cover and the guide plate. A threaded block is passed through the guide post. The threaded block has a cross-shaped plate structure. The threaded block is threadedly engaged with the peripheral side of the threaded screw. An annular brush plate is fixedly connected to the free end of the threaded block. The shape and size of the annular brush plate are adapted to the inner wall of the storage tank. The annular brush plate and the inner wall of the storage tank cooperate with each other. A stirring plate is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the auxiliary rotating rod. Several stirring scrapers are fixedly connected to the free end of the stirring plate. The shape and size of the stirring scrapers are adapted to the lower inner wall of the storage tank. The stirring scrapers and the lower inner wall of the storage tank cooperate with each other.
[0008] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0009] This invention utilizes a servo motor to drive a rotating plate, which in turn drives a sliding rod in a circular motion. Simultaneously, due to the sliding engagement between the sliding rod and the slotted plate, the circular motion of the sliding rod is transformed into the reciprocating motion of a toothed plate. Because the toothed plate meshes with a gear, the gear rotates periodically clockwise and counterclockwise. Furthermore, a speed-changing gear meshes with the gear to increase the rotation frequency of the threaded screw, thereby driving the threaded screw to reciprocate. Under the guidance of the guide column, the threaded block reciprocates vertically within the storage tank, driving the annular brush plate to clean the inner wall of the storage tank. This achieves uniform cleaning force, minimizes damage to the brush, and improves the cleaning quality of the device.
[0010] The bottom of the storage tank is changed to a funnel shape, which makes it easier for the additives to be discharged from the storage tank. When the threaded screw rotates, the auxiliary rotating rod and stirring plate fixedly connected to its bottom will also rotate, thereby driving the stirring scraper to rotate. In this way, the stirring scraper can clean the bottom of the storage tank in the actual cleaning process, thus avoiding the creation of cleaning blind spots and improving the cleaning effect of the device.
[0011] In actual storage, the rotation of the threaded screw can drive the auxiliary rotating rod and stirring plate fixedly connected to its bottom to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring scraper to rotate, so as to mix the raw materials at the bottom of the storage tank. At the same time, the vertical movement of the threaded block in the storage tank can also mix the raw materials in the storage tank, thereby avoiding physical sedimentation of the raw materials in the storage tank due to long-term static storage, thus extending the storage time of the raw materials. At the same time, the stirring scraper can also assist in the discharge of materials in the storage tank during discharge.
[0012] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0024] A guide post 16 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the storage cover 2. A guide plate 17 is fixedly connected to the free end of the guide post 16. An auxiliary rotating rod 15 is fixedly connected to the free end of the threaded screw 14 through the storage cover 2 and the guide plate 17. A threaded block 18 is passed through the guide post 16.

The stirring scrapers 21 and the lower inner wall of the storage tank 1 cooperate with each other.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment illustrates the usage method of a storage device for plastic processing additives that is easy to clean: After the additives are used up, open the storage cover 2, add cleaning agent to the storage tank 1, turn on the servo motor 4, and the servo motor 4 drives the rotating plate 5 to rotate. The sliding fit between the slide rod 6 and the slot plate 7, and the T-shaped groove 9 on the fixed plate 8 guide and lock the T-shaped block 10 fixed to one side of the toothed plate 11. Under the combined action of both, the circular motion of the slide rod 6 is transformed into the reciprocating motion of the toothed plate 11. The motion is transmitted through the meshing of the gear 12 and the toothed plate 11. The speed-changing gear 23 meshes with the gear 12, increasing the rotation frequency of the threaded screw 14. The screw 14 rotates periodically clockwise and counterclockwise. Under the guidance of the guide column 16, the screw block 18 moves vertically back and forth inside the storage tank 1, driving the annular brush plate 19 to clean the inner wall of the storage tank 1. At the same time, the rotation of the screw 14 drives the auxiliary rotating rod 15 and the stirring plate 20 fixedly connected to its bottom to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring scraper 21 to rotate. This ensures that the stirring scraper 21 can clean the bottom of the storage tank 1 in the actual cleaning process, so as to ensure uniform cleaning force, avoid damage to the brush, and avoid cleaning blind spots, thereby improving the cleaning quality and cleaning effect of the device.
[0026] In the actual storage process, the servo motor 4 can also be turned on, and the threaded block 18 will reciprocate vertically within the storage tank 1. The rotation of the auxiliary rotating rod 15 and the stirring plate 20 will drive the stirring scraper 21 to rotate, thereby mixing the raw materials in the storage tank 1 and preventing physical sedimentation of the raw materials in the storage tank 1 due to long-term static storage.
[0027] It should be noted that in actual use, the engagement of the speed-changing gear 23 with the gear 12 increases the rotation frequency of the threaded screw 14. The increased rotation frequency allows the threaded screw 14 to rotate clockwise, driving the threaded block 18 to move vertically to the top of the storage tank 1, where it fits against the storage cover 2, thus achieving a more thorough cleaning of the inner wall of the storage tank 1. However, after the threaded block 18 reaches the top, the threaded screw 14 begins to rotate counterclockwise, driving the threaded block 18 back to its initial position.
