Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of agitator technology, and more specifically to a mixing tank. Background Technology

[0002] As an indispensable piece of equipment in industrial and laboratory environments, mixing tanks are widely used in food processing, chemical production, pharmaceuticals, and many other industries to mix different substances to achieve uniform dispersion. Their basic function is to use rotating agitators to fully mix materials within the tank, ensuring uniform distribution of components and thus meeting the requirements of the production process.

[0003] However, the design of traditional mixing tanks has gradually revealed some shortcomings in practical applications, especially the difficulty of cleaning. Traditional mixing tanks usually adopt an integrated fixed structure design, with all components such as the mixing paddle, tank body and seals tightly connected and fixed. Although this design ensures the stability of the equipment, it also makes the cleaning work complicated and inefficient. Since the various parts are difficult to disassemble, thorough cleaning of the interior becomes cumbersome, which not only easily leads to material residue, but may also affect the quality of subsequent batches of products. Therefore, we propose a mixing tank to improve the ease of disassembly, assembly and cleaning of the mixing tank. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a mixing tank.

[0005] The technical solution is as follows: A mixing tank includes a tank body and a discharge valve. The tank body is a cylindrical tank with a feeding opening at the top. The discharge valve is installed and connected to the lower outer wall of the tank body. It also includes a mounting frame, a mounting plate, a motor, a mixing rack, positioning blocks, and fasteners. Symmetrically protruding limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the top opening of the tank body. The mounting plate is horizontally mounted across the opening at the top of the tank body through the limiting grooves. Positioning blocks are fixed to the bottom surfaces of both ends of the mounting plate. Appropriate... The mounting plate has a through-hole for positioning blocks, and the positioning blocks of the mounting plate are inserted into the through-hole of the corresponding limiting groove of the barrel. A mounting frame is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the mounting plate. The mounting frame is a disc frame with a central rotating shaft fixed at the center of its top surface. A motor is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate. The output shaft of the motor passes through the mounting plate and is connected to the central rotating shaft of the mounting frame. A stirring frame is fixed on the bottom surface of the mounting frame. The stirring frame is located inside the barrel. A fastening element for locking the mounting plate is provided on the upper part of the outer wall of the barrel.

[0006] As an improvement to the above solution, the fastening component includes a guide rod, a wedge block, and a spring. The guide rod is fixed on the outer wall of the barrel, and the wedge block is slidably mounted on the guide rod with the snapping inclined surface of the wedge block facing upward. The positioning block has a slot inside that matches the wedge block. A spring is provided on the guide rod between the wedge block and the barrel. When the mounting plate is pressed down, the positioning block is inserted into the opening of the corresponding limiting groove. The positioning block presses down against the spring force on the inclined surface of the wedge block. When the slot of the positioning block aligns with the wedge block, the wedge block pops out and inserts into the slot of the positioning block under the action of the spring. The positioning block locks the entire assembly, including the mounting frame, mounting plate, and stirring rack.

[0007] As an improvement to the above solution, electric push rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper outer wall of the barrel near the wedge blocks. A contact rod is fixedly connected to the push rod of the electric push rod. The contact rod presses and limits the corresponding wedge block. The electric push rod drives the contact rod to press against the wedge block, so that the wedge block can automatically disengage from the locking of the positioning block, thereby improving the unlocking efficiency of the mounting plate.

[0008] As an improvement to the above solution, the mixing rack is composed of multiple rods distributed circumferentially. A scraper is fixed on one of the rods of the mixing rack. The scraper is vertically attached to the inner wall of the barrel. The scraper is used to cooperate with the mixing rack to rotate synchronously in the barrel, so that the scraper can continuously scrape off the adhering materials, ensuring that all materials participate in the mixing process and improving the mixing efficiency and uniformity.

[0009] As an improvement to the above solution, a base is provided at the bottom of the barrel, and the barrel is stably placed on the base. A rubber gasket is provided between the base and the barrel. The rubber gasket is used to absorb shock for the barrel on the base and improve the stability of the mixing barrel during operation.

[0010] As an improvement to the above solution, anti-slip pads are installed at multiple support feet around the base. These anti-slip pads are used to increase the friction between the base and the placement surface, further improving the stability of the mixing tank.

[0011] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0012] 1. This utility model, through the design of limiting grooves, positioning blocks and fasteners, enables the rapid assembly and disassembly of the mounting plate, mounting frame and the mixing rack on it, effectively simplifying the cleaning and maintenance process of the equipment, reducing the downtime of the mixing tank and improving work efficiency.

[0013] 2. This utility model uses a buckle consisting of a guide rod, a wedge block, and a spring to ensure the stable locking of the mounting plate, mounting frame, and mixing rack during operation. It also features an electric push rod and a contact rod for automatic unlocking, further improving the safety and ease of operation of the equipment.

[0014] 3. This utility model can also continuously scrape off the material adhering to the inner wall of the barrel through the scraper set on the mixing rack, which not only prevents material waste, but also effectively reduces shock and stabilizes the barrel by setting rubber gaskets and anti-slip pads, and increases the friction between the base and the placement surface, ensuring the stability of the entire equipment during operation.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following will describe this utility model in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is hereby declared that the terms "up," "down," "left," "right," "front," "back," "inner," and "outer," etc., appearing or about to appear in this document, are based solely on the accompanying drawings and are not intended to specifically limit this utility model.

[0021] A mixing tank, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the device includes a barrel body 1 and a discharge valve 2. The barrel body 1 is a cylindrical barrel with a feeding opening at the top. The discharge valve 2 is installed and connected to the lower outer wall of the barrel body 1. It also includes a mounting frame 3, a mounting plate 31, a motor 4, a stirring frame 5, positioning blocks 6, and fasteners. Symmetrically protruding limiting grooves 7 are provided on both sides of the top opening of the barrel body 1. The mounting plate 31 is mounted across the opening at the top of the barrel body 1 through the limiting grooves 7. Positioning blocks 6 are fixed to the bottom surfaces of both ends of the mounting plate 31. Through-holes for the positioning blocks 6 are provided in the limiting grooves 7 on both sides of the barrel body 1. The positioning blocks 6 of the mounting plate 31 are inserted into the through-holes of the corresponding limiting grooves 7 in the barrel body 1. The mounting plate 31 is rotatably mounted with a mounting bracket 3. The mounting bracket 3 is a disc frame with a central rotating shaft fixed at the center of its top surface. The top of the mounting plate 31 is fixedly mounted with a motor 4. The output shaft of the motor 4 passes through the mounting plate 31 and is connected to the central rotating shaft of the mounting bracket 3. The bottom surface of the mounting bracket 3 is fixedly mounted with a stirring rack 5. The stirring rack 5 is located inside the barrel 1. The upper part of the outer wall of the barrel 1 is provided with a fastening component for locking the mounting plate 31. The fastening component can be used to fasten the mounting plate 31, the mounting bracket 3 and the stirring rack 5 on it to the barrel 1, and at the same time, it can be easily disassembled and cleaned and maintained by the barrel 1 and the stirring rack 5 and other components.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fastening component includes a guide rod 8, a wedge block 9, and a spring 10. Two guide rods 8 are fixed on the outer wall of the barrel 1, and wedge blocks 9 are slidably installed on the two guide rods 8. The snapping slope of the wedge block 9 faces upward. The positioning block 6 has a slot inside that matches the wedge block 9. A spring 10 is provided on the guide rod 8 between the wedge block 9 and the barrel 1. When the mounting plate 31 is pressed down, the positioning block 6 is inserted into the opening of the corresponding limiting groove 7. The positioning block 6 presses down against the elastic force of the spring 10 and presses against the slope of the wedge block 9. When the slot of the positioning block 6 is aligned with the wedge block 9, the wedge block 9 pops out and inserts into the slot of the positioning block 6 under the action of the spring 10. The positioning block 6 locks the entire assembly, including the mounting frame 3, the mounting plate 31, and the stirring rack 5.

[0023] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, electric push rods 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper outer wall of the barrel 1 near the wedge block 9. A contact rod 12 is fixedly connected to the push rod of the electric push rod 11. The contact rod 12 can press and limit the corresponding wedge block 9. The electric push rod 11 drives the contact rod 12 to press against the wedge block 9, so that the wedge block 9 can automatically disengage from the locking of the positioning block 6, thereby improving the unlocking efficiency of the mounting plate 31.

[0024] like Figure 4As shown, the mixing rack 5 is composed of multiple rods distributed circumferentially. A scraper 13 is fixed on one of the rods of the mixing rack 5. The scraper 13 is vertically attached to the inner wall of the barrel 1. The scraper 13 is used to cooperate with the mixing rack 5 to rotate synchronously in the barrel 1, so that the scraper 13 can continuously scrape off the adhering materials, ensuring that all materials participate in the mixing process, thereby improving the mixing efficiency and uniformity.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a base 15 is provided at the bottom of the barrel 1. The barrel 1 is stably assembled and fitted into the base 15 by bolts. The bottom surface of the base 15 is close to the ground and is low in position. A rubber washer 14 is provided between the base 15 and the barrel 1. The rubber washer 14 is used to absorb shock for the barrel 1 on the base 15 and improve the stability of the mixing barrel during operation. Anti-slip pads 16 are installed at multiple support legs around the base 15. The anti-slip pads 16 are used to increase the friction between the base 15 and the placement surface and further improve the placement stability of the mixing barrel.

[0026] First, the materials to be mixed are added into the barrel 1 through the top opening. Then, the motor 4 mounted on the mounting plate 31 is started. The output shaft of the motor 4 begins to rotate, driving the mounting frame 3 below to rotate along with it via the central shaft. This causes the stirring rack 5 on the bottom of the mounting rack 3 to rotate inside the barrel 1, thoroughly mixing the materials. To ensure that all materials participate evenly in the mixing process, a scraper 13 is fixed to one of the rods of the stirring rack 5. As the stirring rack 5 rotates, the scraper 13 moves close to the inner wall of the barrel 1, continuously scraping off the materials adhering to the inner wall, further improving mixing efficiency and uniformity. When discharge is required, the discharge valve 2 located on the lower outer wall of the barrel 1 is opened, and the mixed materials are discharged. It can flow out, and if you need to clean or maintain the inside of the mixing tank or its components, simply operate the electric push rod 11 so that the contact rod 12 presses the wedge block 9 to overcome the spring force of the spring 10, thereby allowing the wedge block 9 to exit from the slot of the positioning block 6, unlocking the mounting plate 31, mounting bracket 3 and mixing rack 5 and other components. At this time, these components can be easily removed from the tank body 1, making it convenient to clean and inspect the mixing rack 5 and the tank body 1. Throughout the use, since the tank body 1 is stably placed on the base 15 with rubber gaskets 14, the anti-slip pads 16 installed on the base 15 and the support legs can ensure the stability and smoothness of the equipment during operation, preventing the equipment from shifting or tipping over due to vibrations generated during the mixing process.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
