Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixing equipment, specifically to a manganese ball mixer. Background Technology
[0002] Manganese spheres are typically made from a mixture of various manganese ore powders and additives in specific proportions, and are widely used in industries such as steel smelting and chemicals. In the production of manganese spheres, mixing the powdered raw materials with adhesive to form a mixed raw material is a crucial step before pressing and molding. Currently, the applicant's method involves using a transfer hopper to pour the weighed powdered raw materials into a mixing tank, then adding adhesive and mixing. After mixing, the raw material is released from the mixing tank into a receiving hopper, and then transferred to the subsequent sphere pressing process to be pressed into manganese spheres.
[0003] How to smoothly discharge the mixed adhesive raw material is a pressing problem that needs to be solved. Existing technology discloses an injection molding raw material mixer (publication number: CN202964958U) that facilitates material discharge. This mixer has a discharge port on the lower side wall of the mixing tank, connected to a discharge cylinder. A sliding insert plate is installed inside the discharge cylinder, and the cylinder is opened and closed by pulling the insert plate. While this method allows for relatively quick discharge, it still presents the following problems when using mixed adhesive raw materials made with manganese balls: The mixed adhesive raw material has a certain viscosity. When using the existing discharge cylinder with a certain length for guiding discharge, the adhesive raw material easily adheres and clogs the cylinder. Furthermore, if the insert plate is inserted into the discharge cylinder for a long time, the adhesive raw material easily adheres to it, making it difficult or even causing jamming during extraction, thus preventing the discharge cylinder from opening. Additionally, if the adhesive raw material splashes into the extraction holes of the insert plate, it may also cause difficulty or jamming. Utility Model Content
[0004] The present invention aims to provide a manganese ball mixer to solve the problem that the adhesive-laden raw material is prone to clogging during the feeding process when the existing technology is applied to the manganese ball raw material mixing and production process.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] The manganese ball mixer includes a mixing tank with a mixing mechanism inside. A dust cover is fixed to the top of the mixing tank, and a dust removal pipe is connected to the dust cover. The dust removal pipe is connected to a dust collector. A feed inlet is opened at the front end of the dust cover, and a discharge outlet is opened at the bottom of the mixing tank. An inclined guide plate is set below the discharge outlet, and the upper end of the guide plate is fixed to the bottom of the mixing tank. A sealing plate that can be opened horizontally is set at the discharge outlet. A handle is fixedly connected to one side of the outer edge of the sealing plate. The handle is rotatably connected to the mixing tank, and the sealing plate can be rotated to be above the guide plate. A clamping space is formed between the upper end of the guide plate and the bottom of the mixing tank to clamp the inner edge of the sealing plate.
[0007] Preferably, as an improvement, the guide plate includes a front inclined plate and a horizontal plate connected to the rear side of the inclined plate, with the clamping space formed between the horizontal plate and the bottom of the mixing tank.
[0008] Preferably, as an improvement, vertical baffles are fixed on both sides and the rear side of the guide plate, and the top of the baffles is fixed to the bottom of the mixing tank.
[0009] Preferably, as an improvement, the width of the sealing plate is smaller than the width of the guide plate.
[0010] Preferably, as an improvement, at least two fixing rings are fixed on the outer wall of the mixing tank, and the handle is inserted into the fixing rings and can rotate within the fixing rings.
[0011] Preferably, as an improvement, at least two sets of annular limiting blocks are fixed on the handle, with two limiting blocks in each set, and a fixing ring is located between the two limiting blocks in each set.
[0012] Preferably, as an improvement, the mixing tank is tilted and the discharge port is located at the lower end of the mixing tank.
[0013] Preferably, as an improvement, the discharge port is located at the edge of the bottom of the mixing tank.
[0014] Preferably, as an improvement, the handle is a "7" shaped handle, with the vertical part of the handle rotatably connected to a fixed ring.
[0015] The principles and beneficial effects of this solution are as follows:
[0016] 1. In practical application, add manganese powder to the mixing tank, followed by glue. Start the mixing mechanism to thoroughly mix the raw materials and glue to form a mixed material that meets production requirements. After mixing, hold the handle attached to the edge of the sealing plate and rotate the sealing plate horizontally to open the discharge port at the bottom of the mixing tank. The inclined guide plate below the discharge port guides the mixed material smoothly into the receiving hopper, completing the discharge process. The baffles on both sides and the rear of the guide plate act as barriers to prevent the material from splashing during the descent.
[0017] This design features a discharge port directly at the bottom of the mixing tank, with a guide plate below the discharge port that is not connected to it. Compared to existing technologies that add a discharge cylinder at the discharge port, this open-type discharge method is less prone to material blockage. Furthermore, the sealing plate in this application is rotatably positioned at the bottom of the discharge port, unaffected by other structures. The rotating structure of the sealing plate is outside the mixing tank and does not contact the adhesive-containing material, thus reducing the likelihood of the sealing plate becoming stuck due to the adhesive.
[0018] 2. This solution involves covering the top of the mixing tank with a dust cover. During the mixing process, dust rises due to the airflow generated by the mixing, is blocked by the dust cover, and is then drawn into the dust collector through the connected dust collection pipe. This effectively solves the problem of dust overflow during mixing, greatly improves the air quality in the production workshop, reduces the risk of operators inhaling dust, protects personnel health, and also reduces dust corrosion of equipment, extending the service life of the equipment.
[0019] 3. The mixed raw materials flow out of the discharge port under gravity. The inclined guide plate changes the direction of the raw materials' fall, allowing them to slide along a specific path into the receiving hopper. This avoids the mixed raw materials falling directly into the open and scattering everywhere, improving the accuracy and efficiency of discharge, reducing material waste, and facilitating the subsequent collection and transfer of materials in the receiving hopper. Baffles are fixed to the sides and rear of the guide plate. When the raw materials slide along the guide plate, the baffles prevent the raw materials from splashing to the sides and rear. This further ensures the concentration of materials during the discharge process, prevents materials from splashing out of the guide plate area, reduces contamination of the working area, avoids material loss, and improves material utilization.
[0020] 4. By rotating the handle, the sealing plate can be rotated, thereby opening and closing the discharge port. The clamping space formed between the high end of the guide plate and the bottom of the mixing tank can clamp the inner edge of the sealing plate when the discharge port is closed, ensuring the seal is airtight. This design makes the opening and closing of the discharge port simple; the operator can easily control the discharge by simply rotating the handle. At the same time, the clamping space ensures that the sealing plate can tightly fit the discharge port during the mixing process, preventing material leakage and ensuring the stability and sealing of the mixing process.
[0021] 5. The inclined plate at the front end of the guide plate guides the material flowing out of the outlet, changing its direction and causing it to slide down at an angle; the horizontal plate connected to the rear of the inclined plate forms a clamping space with the bottom of the mixing tank. This design allows the guide plate to not only serve as a material guiding structure, but also to restrict and support the sealing plate from the bottom, effectively dispersing the weight of the material on the sealing plate, providing a reliable guarantee for the sealing of the sealing plate, and improving the overall working performance of the equipment.
[0022] 6. When the sealing plate rotates to open the discharge port, the narrow sealing plate will not be blocked or interfered with by the baffles on both sides of the guide plate, ensuring the smooth rotation of the sealing plate. At the same time, sufficient space is left for the sealing plate to rotate horizontally into the clamping space, ensuring that the sealing plate can be smoothly clamped into the clamping space.
[0023] 7. The handle is inserted into the fixed ring, and a limiting block is set on the handle so that the fixed ring is located between two limiting blocks in each group. This allows the handle to rotate stably around the fixed ring, thereby driving the sealing plate to accurately open and close the discharge port. This enhances the stability and reliability of the handle rotation, making the operation of the sealing plate more precise. At the same time, the fixed ring also plays a certain limiting role, further supporting the sealing plate and further improving the stability of the sealing plate in closing the discharge port.

[0028] The following detailed description illustrates the specific implementation method:
[0029] The reference numerals in the accompanying drawings include: mixing tank 1, discharge port 11, dust cover 2, feed port 21, dust removal pipe 22, guide plate 3, baffle 31, horizontal plate 32, inclined plate 33, sealing plate 4, fixing ring 41, handle 42, clamping space 43, and limiting block 44.
[0030] Example 1:
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the manganese ball mixer includes a mixing tank 1, inside which is a mixing mechanism (not shown in the figure). The mixing mechanism includes a mixing shaft with mixing blades welded on it. The mixing shaft is vertically rotatable inside the mixing tank 1 and is connected to a motor, which is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 1. A dust collector cover 2 is welded to the top of the mixing tank 1. The front end of the dust collector cover 2 has a feed inlet 21, and the dust collector cover 2 is connected to a dust collector pipe 22. The dust collector pipe 22 is connected to a dust collector, which is a bag filter dust collector.
[0032] Combination Figure 2As shown, a discharge port 11 is located at the bottom edge of the mixing tank 1. An inclined guide plate 3 is positioned below the discharge port 11, with its upper end welded and fixed to the bottom of the mixing tank 1. Vertical baffles 31 are welded and fixed to both sides and the rear of the guide plate 3, with their top ends welded and fixed to the bottom of the mixing tank 1. A sealing plate 4, capable of horizontal rotation, is located at the discharge port 11. Specifically, the sealing plate 4 is rectangular in shape, with a "7"-shaped handle 42 welded and fixed to the right side of its outer edge. Two vertically arranged fixing rings 41 are welded and fixed to the outer wall of the mixing tank 1. The vertical section of the handle 42 is inserted into the two fixing rings 41 and can rotate within them. The width of the sealing plate 4 is smaller than the width of the guide plate 3, allowing the sealing plate 4 to rotate above the guide plate 3 and between the baffles 31 on either side. The high end of the guide plate 3 and the bottom of the mixing tank 1 form a clamping space 43 for clamping the inner side of the sealing plate 4. Specifically, the guide plate 3 includes a front inclined plate 33 and a horizontal plate 32 connected to the rear side of the inclined plate 33. The clamping space 43 is formed between the horizontal plate 32 and the bottom of the mixing tank 1.
[0033] In practical application, the weighed manganese powder is poured into the mixing tank 1 through the feed inlet 21, and then glue is added. The mixing mechanism is then activated to mix the materials. After mixing is complete, the handle 42 is held and rotated outward. The handle 42 drives the sealing plate 4 connected to its bottom to rotate outward, opening the discharge port 11 at the bottom of the mixing tank 1. The mixed material falls from the discharge port 11 into the receiving hopper prepared below. During the discharge process, the guide plate 3 guides the material, and the side plates on the guide plate 3 prevent the material from splashing everywhere.
[0034] After the raw materials are added, hold the handle 42 and rotate it inward. The handle 42 drives the sealing plate 4 to rotate horizontally inward. When the handle 42 rotates to its limit and can no longer rotate inward, the sealing plate 4 rotates to the bottom of the discharge port 11 and closes the discharge port 11. At this time, the inner side of the sealing plate 4 is inserted into the clamping space 43 formed by the guide plate 3 and the bottom of the mixing tank 1. Figure 3 The state shown indicates that the sealing plate 4 is locked in place.
[0035] Example 2:
[0036] Combination Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that two sets of annular limiting blocks 44 are welded and fixed to the handle 42. Each set of limiting blocks 44 consists of two blocks, and each fixing ring 41 is located between the two limiting blocks 44 in each set. This solution can limit the handle 42, enabling it to rotate stably horizontally, thereby improving the rotational stability and accuracy of the sealing plate 4. At the same time, the limiting blocks 44 can also be used to indirectly support the sealing. The limiting blocks 44 and the horizontal plate 32 support the sealing plate 4 at both the inner and outer parts, further improving the stability of the sealing plate 4 when sealing the outlet 11.
[0037] Example 3:
[0038] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the mixing tank 1 is tilted at an angle of 5-10°, and the discharge port 11 is located at the lower end of the tilt of the mixing tank 1. This arrangement makes the discharge of raw materials smoother.
