[0002] In many industries such as chemical, food, and plastics, it is often necessary to mix and knead different materials to achieve uniform mixing and promote chemical reactions. Traditional mixing equipment has many shortcomings. For example, single-shaft mixers have a limited mixing range and are not effective at mixing large quantities of materials or materials with high viscosity, making it difficult to ensure thorough mixing.

[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0026] Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model discloses a dual-shaft opposing mixing and kneading machine, including a base mechanism and a mixing mechanism;
[0027] The base mechanism includes a base body 1, a left support 2 and a right support 3, with the left support 2 and the right support 3 respectively installed on both sides of the base body 1;
[0028] The stirring mechanism includes a stirring cylinder 4, a support frame 5, a first stirring component, and a second stirring component. The bottom of the stirring cylinder 4 is fixed to the upper surface of the base body 1 by the support frame 5. The first stirring component and the second stirring component are symmetrically installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the stirring cylinder 4. A feed cylinder 6 is installed at the upper end of the stirring cylinder 4.
[0029] The first and second stirring components have identical structures, including a stirring shaft 8 and a combined impeller 9. One end of the stirring shaft 8 is connected to the inner wall of the stirring cylinder 4 via a bearing seat 10, and the combined impeller 9 is installed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 8. The combined impeller 9 includes a main impeller 15, a secondary impeller 16, and a spiral impeller 17. The main impeller 15 has a straight plate structure and is perpendicular to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 8. The main function of the main impeller is to generate a large axial pushing and radial stirring force on the material when the stirring shaft rotates, which can quickly agitate the material over a wide range within the stirring cylinder. The auxiliary blades 16 are installed on both sides of the main blade 15. The auxiliary blades 16 are small, serrated or corrugated. The auxiliary blades increase the contact area and friction between the blades and the material. When the material is driven by the main blades through the auxiliary blades, the auxiliary blades can perform finer shearing and dispersion of the material, further improving the mixing uniformity. The spiral blades 17 are installed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 8. The blade angles of the spiral blades 17 near the two ends of the stirring cylinder are small, while the blade angles of the spiral blades 17 in the middle of the cylinder are large. This utility model has a combined blade structure where the main blades and auxiliary blades work together to further enhance the stirring, pushing, and shearing effects on the material. In addition, the spiral blades can perform stronger stirring and shearing of the material, effectively eliminating dead zones and improving mixing uniformity, making it particularly suitable for complex material systems.
[0030] In this invention, a support base 11 is also installed on the base body 1. A motor 12, a reducer 13, and a coupling 14 are respectively installed on the support base 11. The motor 12 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 13 via the coupling 14, and the output shaft of the reducer 13 is connected to one end of each of the two stirring shafts 8 via the coupling 14. The motor is a variable frequency motor, and its speed can be adjusted by the frequency converter according to different production process requirements, thereby achieving precise control of the stirring shaft speed. The reducer uses a high-precision gear reducer, which can convert the high-speed rotation of the motor into the low-speed, high-torque output required by the stirring shaft, ensuring stable and reliable operation of the stirring shaft.
[0031] In addition, in this invention, a material leveling component 7 is also installed inside the feeding cylinder 6. The material leveling component 7 includes a rotating shaft 18, a material leveling plate 19, and a servo motor 20. Both ends of the rotating shaft 18 are mounted on the inner wall of the feeding cylinder 6 via bearing seats. The material leveling plate 19 is mounted on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 18, and its surface is evenly distributed with several through holes 21. The servo motor 20 is mounted on the outer wall of the feeding cylinder 6, and its output shaft is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 18 via a transmission connection. When the servo motor is working, it drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the material leveling plate to rotate, uniformly turning the incoming material before feeding it into the mixing drum. The material leveling component installed inside the feeding cylinder of this invention ensures that the material falls evenly into the mixing drum, preventing material accumulation and further improving the mixing and kneading effect.
[0032] In addition, a temperature sensor 22, a pressure sensor 23, and a material concentration sensor 24 are installed inside the stirring drum 4. These sensors are connected to a controller 25 mounted on the base body 1. The controller 25 is also connected to a motor 12, a reducer 13, and a servo motor 20. The temperature, pressure, and material concentration sensors are used to monitor the temperature, pressure, and concentration of the material in real time. The sensors transmit the collected data to the controller, which automatically adjusts the motor speed, stirring time, and other parameters according to preset process parameters. Operators can input various process parameters through the operating interface, view the equipment's operating status and real-time data, and achieve intelligent control of the equipment.
[0033] Working Principle: When the equipment is turned on, the motor drives the reducer through a coupling. The reducer converts the motor's high-speed, low-torque output into low-speed, high-torque output, which is then transmitted to the two stirring shafts through the coupling, causing the two stirring shafts to rotate in opposite directions. As the stirring shafts rotate, the helical structure of the blades propels the material along the axial and circumferential directions of the stirring shafts. Blades near both ends of the cylinder push the material towards the center, while blades with a larger angle in the center of the cylinder strongly stir and shear the material, creating a complex circulation flow within the mixing cylinder for comprehensive mixing. The main blades, with their tilt angle and large surface area, generate strong axial pushing and radial stirring forces on the material, rapidly causing it to flow over a wide area within the cylinder. The secondary blades, with their serrated or corrugated structure, finely shear and disperse the material as it passes through, further refining the degree of mixing. Throughout the mixing process, the automated control system monitors the material status in real time through temperature, pressure, and material concentration sensors, and feeds the data back to the controller. The controller automatically adjusts operating parameters such as motor speed according to preset process parameters to ensure that the mixing process is stable and meets production requirements.
[0034] In summary, this utility model features a novel structural design, enabling materials to achieve composite axial and circumferential motion within the mixing drum. This effectively eliminates dead zones in the mixing process, ensuring thorough mixing and kneading of the materials, significantly improving mixing uniformity, and guaranteeing product quality.
