Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of de-icing agent production technology, specifically relating to a mixing station for de-icing agent production. Background Technology

[0002] As a crucial material for safe snowfall on roads, the production process of de-icing agents is vital to the final snow-melting effect. Existing de-icing agent mixing plants typically include a motor, which drives a mixing device to mix the de-icing agent.

[0003] Common raw materials for de-icing agents include sodium chloride, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, and potassium acetate. When the external humidity is high and the seal is not tight, sodium chloride will absorb moisture from the air and deliquesce, forming a saturated brine. Subsequently, when the humidity decreases, the brine evaporates, and the salt crystals clump together, forming lumps. These lumps are difficult to disperse completely during mixing, resulting in uneven distribution of sodium chloride in the finished de-icing agent. This problem directly affects the de-icing effect. For example, due to the uneven composition of the de-icing agent, some areas may have low concentrations, failing to achieve the desired effect and thus reducing the overall de-icing efficiency. In addition, areas with excessively high sodium chloride concentrations may cause ground corrosion and environmental pollution, leading to secondary environmental problems.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a mixing plant for the production of de-icing agents. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a mixing station for the production of de-icing agents, which can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by a specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A mixing station for producing de-icing agent includes an outer shell and an inner shell. The outer shell is equipped with a crushing mechanism that matches the inner shell. The inner shell has multiple sets of evenly distributed filter holes. A coarse mixing mechanism that matches the filter holes is installed between the outer shell and the inner shell. The coarse mixing mechanism includes a feeding shell and an auger. The auger is rotatably connected inside the feeding shell. The upper end of the feeding shell is provided with a guide plate that matches the inner shell.

[0008] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the crushing mechanism includes a motor, the output end of which is fixedly connected to a first connecting rod, and a plurality of cutters matching the inner housing are fixedly connected to the first connecting rod.

[0009] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a first pulley, the upper end of the auger is fixedly connected to a second connecting rod, a second pulley matching the first pulley is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod, and a transmission belt is installed between the first pulley and the second pulley.

[0010] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a hopper matching the auger is fixedly connected to the outer shell, and the hopper is located at the lower end of the auger.

[0011] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the outer shell on the side away from the hopper, and the bottom of the outer shell is inclined toward the discharge pipe.

[0012] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a scraping mechanism for removing raw materials adhering to the wall is provided on the inner side of the inner shell.

[0013] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the scraping mechanism includes a scraper blade, which is fixedly connected to a first connecting rod.

[0014] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, an annular baffle for controlling the state of the filter holes is installed inside the inner housing, and a second sliding groove matching the annular baffle is provided inside the inner housing.

[0026] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1-4As shown, a mixing station for producing de-icing agent according to one embodiment of the present invention includes an outer shell 1 and an inner shell 301. A crushing mechanism matching the inner shell 301 is installed on the outer shell 1. The inner shell 301 has multiple sets of evenly distributed filter holes 305. A coarse mixing mechanism matching the filter holes 305 is installed between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 301. The coarse mixing mechanism includes a feeding shell 406 and an auger 402. The auger 402 is rotatably connected inside the feeding shell 406. A guide plate 304 matching the inner shell 301 is provided at the upper end of the feeding shell 406.

[0028] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the crushing mechanism breaks down large, damp, and clump-like pieces of raw material, minimizing incomplete dispersion and uneven mixing during the stirring process. In the coarse mixing mechanism, the auger 402 transports the bottom portion of the raw material to the top, and the guide plate 304, inclined towards the cutter 203, guides the material reaching the top of the auger 402 into the inner housing 301, ensuring thorough mixing and minimizing uneven mixing due to stratification caused by weight, which would affect the snow-melting effect of the finished de-icing agent.

[0029] Meanwhile, the filter holes 305 on the inner shell 301 separate large pieces of raw material from fine pieces, allowing the crushing mechanism to continuously crush the large pieces, thus reducing the crushing pressure on the crushing mechanism. At the same time, the filter holes 305 prevent large pieces of raw material from entering the auger 402, minimizing the risk of large pieces getting stuck inside the auger 402 during conveying and affecting material mixing. The feeding shell 406 located outside the auger 402 can, to some extent, prevent raw material from being thrown out during the rotation of the auger 402, resulting in higher material transfer efficiency.

[0030] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the crushing mechanism includes a motor 201, and a first connecting rod 202 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 201. Multiple sets of cutters 203 are installed on the outer wall of the first connecting rod 202. When the motor 201 is started, the motor 201 drives the first connecting rod 202 and the cutters 203 to rotate. During the rotation of the cutters 203, large pieces of raw materials are crushed, which helps to disperse and mix the raw materials evenly.

[0031] The model of motor 201 can be Y180M-4, or users can choose different models according to actual market needs. Motor 201 is electrically connected to an external power source, and since motor 201 is common knowledge to those skilled in the art, its specific structure, switching method, and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0032] like Figure 4As shown, the output end of the motor 201 is fixedly connected to a first pulley 403 via a first connecting rod 202. A second connecting rod 401 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the auger 402. A second pulley 404, matching the first pulley 403, is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 401. A transmission belt 405 is installed between the first pulley 403 and the second pulley 404. During the rotation of the motor 201 and the first connecting rod 202, the auger 402 rotates in coordination with the first pulley 403, the second pulley 404, and the transmission belt 405. The rotation of the auger 402 transports the raw material from the bottom of the outer casing 1 to the top, which to some extent helps to evenly mix the raw material at the bottom and top.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a collection hopper 102 matching the auger 402 is fixedly connected to the outer casing 1, and the collection hopper 102 is located at the lower end of the auger 402. The collection hopper 102 can concentrate the raw materials around the auger 402, and avoid the auger 402 being unable to transport the raw materials smoothly when there are few surrounding materials.

[0034] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1 on the side away from the collecting hopper 102, and the bottom of the outer shell 1 is inclined towards the discharge pipe. The inclined bottom wall facilitates the discharge of the uniformly mixed raw materials and reduces the difficulty of raw material discharge to a certain extent.

[0035] like Figures 2-4 As shown, a scraping mechanism for removing adhering materials is provided on the inner side of the inner housing 301. The scraping mechanism includes a scraper 204, which is fixedly connected to a first connecting rod 202. When the first connecting rod 202 rotates under the drive of the motor 201, it causes the scraper 204 to slide along the inner housing 301, scraping off the materials adhering to the inner wall of the inner housing 301. This minimizes the risk of the materials adhering to the inner wall of the inner housing 301 not mixing properly, which could affect the material ratio and consequently the snow-melting effect of the finished de-icing agent. When the mixed materials are discharged, the scraping mechanism can also scrape off the materials from the inner wall of the inner housing 301, minimizing waste.

[0036] like Figures 3-5 As shown, an annular baffle 303 is installed inside the inner shell 301 to control the opening and closing of the filter holes 305. A second groove 302 matching the annular baffle 303 is provided inside the inner shell 301. The annular baffle 303 has filter holes 305 matching the inner shell 301. When the raw material at the bottom is conveyed to the top by the auger 402, the annular baffle 303 is rotated to close the filter holes 305, and all the raw material is concentrated inside the inner shell 301, completing the thorough crushing and mixing.

[0037] like Figures 1-4As shown, a handle 306 is installed on the outside of the annular baffle 303, and a first groove 101 matching the handle 306 is provided on the outer shell 1. The handle 306 facilitates the rotation of the annular baffle 303 by the operator.

[0038] During use, the appropriately proportioned raw materials are poured into the inner shell 301, and the crushing and coarse mixing mechanisms are activated. The crushing mechanism breaks down large pieces of raw materials to minimize incomplete dispersion during the de-icing process, which could lead to uneven mixing and an uneven final product composition. Simultaneously, it avoids uneven de-icing agent composition, which could result in low concentrations in some areas, failing to achieve the desired snow-melting effect and reducing overall snow-melting efficiency. Furthermore, it prevents large pieces of uncrushed sodium chloride from causing excessively high sodium chloride concentrations, leading to localized ground corrosion and environmental pollution, and causing secondary environmental problems. The coarse mixing mechanism transports the raw materials from the bottom of the mixing station to the top, mixing them with the top materials to minimize uneven mixing between the top and bottom materials, which could affect the snow-melting effect of the final product.

[0039] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0040] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
