Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of liquid mixing and processing technology, specifically, it relates to an anti-sedimentation guide plate and its vertical mixing tank. Background Technology
[0002] Mixing tanks, also known as mixing cylinders or blending tanks, have advantages such as energy saving, corrosion resistance, high production capacity, easy cleaning, and simple structure. They are mainly used for mixing dairy products, sugar, other elements, and various drugs to ensure uniform mixing. They are an indispensable piece of equipment for dairy, beverage, and pharmaceutical factories.
[0003] A document with publication number (CN214287681U) discloses a mixing tank for beverage production, comprising a tank body and an inner liner. An emulsifier is installed at the bottom of the tank body, and the tank body is equipped with an emulsifier connection flange, a nameplate, and a temperature gauge holder. A round manhole and a stirring assembly are located at the top of the tank body. A first clamp assembly is installed on one side of the stirring assembly, and a water inlet and a vent cap are installed on one side of the first clamp assembly. The vent cap is equipped with a butterfly end cap and a first 45° sanitary elbow. A capacitive level switch connector and a sampling valve connector are installed at the bottom of the tank body, and a second 45° sanitary elbow is installed inside the sampling valve connector. A lower inner end cap and a lower outer end cap are installed on the top of the tank body. A stirring support rod is installed inside the tank body. A temperature sensor connector and a digital thermometer connector are installed at the bottom of the tank body. A second clamp assembly is installed at the bottom of the tank body to ensure thorough mixing of additives and cheese, preventing product spoilage and improving production efficiency.
[0004] In actual production, the accumulation of raw materials seriously affects the mixing efficiency of the mixing tank. Specifically, due to gravity, raw material particles tend to settle at the bottom of the mixing tank, forming a dense accumulation layer, which makes it difficult for the agitator to fully contact and disperse the material. This uneven material distribution not only reduces the uniformity of mixing but also prolongs the mixing time, seriously affecting production efficiency and product quality.
[0005] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] To solve the technical problem of raw material accumulation, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] A sedimentation-preventing guide plate includes a tank for processing raw material fluids; and a guide assembly disposed at the bottom of the tank for preventing sedimentation of the raw material fluids.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a spacer ring is provided inside the tank, the spacer ring is fixedly connected to the tank body, and there is a gap between the spacer ring and the upper end of the guide plate body.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the baffle plates has a chamfer at the end near the drain block, and the chamfer angle is an obtuse angle.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a baffle is provided at the bottom of the tank body, the baffle is fixedly connected to the tank body, the baffle is located at the bottom end of the guide plate body, and there is a sufficient distance between the baffle and the guide plate body.
[0013] A vertical mixing tank includes a motor, a drive shaft, transmission blocks, guide blocks, and stirring blocks. The motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tank body, the drive shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, the stirring blocks are arranged in an array on the drive shaft, and each stirring block is fixedly connected to the drive shaft. Transmission blocks are staggered on the drive shaft, and guide blocks are fixedly connected between the transmission blocks.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0016] 1. The anti-settling guide plate and its vertical mixing tank, due to the sudden shortening of the through hole through which the fluid can pass, generate a turbulent effect. Under the action of the turbulent effect, the fluid generates a downward impact force, which disperses the raw material fluid accumulated at the bottom of the tank and prevents the raw material fluid from accumulating at the bottom.
[0017] 2. The anti-sedimentation guide plate and its vertical mixing tank are provided, and the fluid is guided by the baffle plate when passing through the main body of the guide plate.

[0018] 3. In this anti-sedimentation guide plate and its vertical mixing tank, the movement space of the raw material fluid is reduced due to the action of the surrounding liquid inlet and the main body of the guide plate, leaving fewer channels and generating an adsorption effect. The fluid formed by the raw material fluid enters the through hole through the liquid inlet. After the liquid passes through the through hole in a corrugated path, a vortex effect is generated. Moreover, due to the annular setting, the vortex follows the rotation direction of the raw material fluid during stirring. After the vortex and turbulence are mixed, the flow velocity of the fluid increases.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0028] Please see Figure 1-5A sedimentation-preventing guide plate includes a tank 1 for processing raw material fluids; and a flow guiding assembly disposed at the bottom of the tank 1 for preventing sedimentation of the raw material fluids. The flow guiding assembly includes a guide plate body 42 and baffle plates 43. The guide plate body 42 is disposed at the bottom of the tank 1 and is generally conical. The baffle plates 43 are arranged in an array on the guide plate body 42, each baffle plate 43 being inclined and arranged in a ring. The guide plate body 42 has an array of through holes. Components inside the tank 1... During the mixing of the raw material fluid, eddies are generated. The eddies enter the bottom from the middle of the guide plate body 42. As the through hole through which the fluid can pass is suddenly shortened, a turbulent effect is generated. Under the action of the turbulent effect, the fluid generates a downward impact force, which disperses the raw material fluid accumulated at the bottom of the tank 1, preventing the raw material fluid from accumulating at the bottom. When the fluid passes over the guide plate body 42, it is guided by the baffle plate 43. With the help of the inclined and surrounding setting, the flow velocity of the fluid is increased, the initial flow velocity of the turbulence is enhanced, and the impact force of the fluid after the turbulent effect is increased.
[0029] Each of the through holes is corrugated, with the upper opening of each through hole named inlet 44 and the lower opening named drain block 45. A fixing ring 4 is installed inside the tank body 1 and is fixedly connected to the tank body 1. The guide plate body 42 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 4. A spacer ring 41 is installed inside the tank body 1 and is fixedly connected to the tank body 1. There is a gap between the spacer ring 41 and the upper end of the guide plate body 42. Each baffle plate 43 has a chamfered end near the drain block 45, with the chamfer angle being obtuse. A baffle plate 3 is installed at the bottom of the tank body 1 and is fixedly connected to the tank body 1. The baffle plate 3 is located at the bottom of the guide plate body 42, and there is a sufficient distance between the baffle plate 3 and the guide plate body 42. Due to the action of the surrounding inlet 44 and the main body of the guide plate 42, the movement space of the material fluid is reduced, leaving fewer channels, resulting in an adsorption effect. The fluid formed by the raw material fluid enters the through hole through the inlet 44. After the liquid passes through the through hole in a wavy path, a vortex effect is generated. Due to the annular setting, the vortex follows the rotation direction of the raw material fluid during stirring. After the vortex and turbulence mix, the flow velocity of the fluid increases. The impact force disperses the raw material fluid accumulated at the bottom of the tank 1, preventing the raw material fluid from accumulating at the bottom. When the fluid passes through the main body of the guide plate 42, it is guided by the baffle plate 43. With the help of the inclined and surrounding setting, the flow velocity of the fluid is increased, the initial flow velocity of the turbulence is enhanced, and the impact force of the fluid after the turbulence effect is increased.
[0030] A vertical mixing tank includes a motor 11, a drive shaft 2, transmission blocks 21, guide blocks 22, and stirring blocks 23. The motor 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tank body 1, and the drive shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 11. The stirring blocks 23 are arranged in an array on the drive shaft 2, and each stirring block 23 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 2. Transmission blocks 21 are staggered on the drive shaft 2, and guide blocks 22 are fixedly connected between the transmission blocks 21. All the aforementioned anti-settling guide plates are provided inside the tank body 1. The upper end of the tank body 1 is fixedly connected to a feed inlet 13, and the bottom end of the tank body 1 is provided with a discharge outlet 12. The discharge outlet 12 penetrates the tank body 1 and a partition 3, and is fixedly connected to both the discharge outlet 12 and the partition 3. A valve is provided at the discharge outlet 12. The motor 11 drives the drive shaft 2 through its output shaft, and the drive shaft 2 drives the transmission blocks 21, guide blocks 22, and stirring blocks 23. The stirring blocks 23 stir the raw material fluid during rotation. During mixing, the guide block 22 generates a driving force in one direction during rotation, creating a vortex. Due to the action of the surrounding inlet 44 and the guide plate body 42, the movement space of the raw material fluid is reduced, leaving fewer channels and generating an adsorption effect. The fluid formed by the raw material fluid enters the through hole through the inlet 44. After the liquid passes through the through hole in a wavy path, a vortex effect is generated. Due to the annular setting, the vortex follows the rotation direction of the raw material fluid during stirring. After the vortex and turbulence mix, the flow velocity of the fluid increases. The impact force disperses the raw material fluid accumulated at the bottom of the tank 1, preventing the raw material fluid from accumulating at the bottom. When the fluid passes through the guide plate body 42, it is guided by the baffle plate 43. With the help of the inclined and surrounding setting, the flow velocity of the fluid is increased, the initial flow velocity of the turbulence is enhanced, and the impact force of the fluid after the turbulence effect is increased. The raw material fluid is fed in through the inlet 13 and discharged through the outlet 12.
[0031] It is worth noting that the raw material fluid includes water, additives, etc. The raw material fluid is added in a single operation and has limited viscosity, so it will not stick to the components inside the device.
[0032] Working principle: Motor 11 drives drive shaft 2 through output shaft. Drive shaft 2 drives transmission block 21, guide block 22, and stirring block 23. Stirring block 23 stirs and mixes the raw material fluid during rotation. Guide block 22 generates a driving force in one direction and creates a vortex during rotation. Due to the action of the surrounding liquid inlet 44 and the main body of guide plate 42, the movement space of the raw material fluid is reduced, leaving fewer channels and generating an adsorption effect. The fluid formed by the raw material fluid enters the through hole through the liquid inlet 44. After the liquid passes through the through hole in a wavy path, a vortex effect is generated. Due to the annular setting, the vortex follows the rotation direction of the raw material fluid during stirring. As the eddies and turbulence mix, the fluid velocity increases. The components inside the tank 1 generate eddies during the mixing of the raw material fluid. The eddies enter the bottom from the middle of the guide plate body 42. Because the through hole through which the fluid can pass is suddenly shortened, a turbulence effect is generated. Under the action of the turbulence effect, the fluid generates a downward impact force, which disperses the raw material fluid accumulated at the bottom of the tank 1, preventing the raw material fluid from accumulating at the bottom. When the fluid passes over the guide plate body 42, it is guided by the baffle plate 43. With the help of the inclined and surrounding setting, the fluid velocity is increased, the initial flow velocity of the turbulence is enhanced, and the impact force of the fluid after the turbulence effect is increased.
