Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stirring device technology, and in particular to a stirring device for the production of natural hydrophilic colloids. Background Technology

[0002] Natural hydrocolloids, as a class of polymers with unique physicochemical properties, are widely used in many industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, papermaking, and textiles. In the food industry, they act as thickeners, stabilizers, and emulsifiers, giving products ideal texture, taste, and shelf stability. For example, pectin is used in jam making to prevent water separation and maintain a thick texture. In the pharmaceutical industry, they are a powerful tool in drug formulations for controlling drug release and improving pill formability. In cosmetics, they help emulsions and creams maintain good rheological properties and appearance stability.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN215139164U, which discloses a high-efficiency and energy-saving stirring device for the production of natural hydrophilic colloids. The device includes a main body with a stirring tank. A rotary motor is mounted on the upper end of the stirring tank, and a rotating shaft is connected to the lower end of the motor via a coupling. An arc-shaped rod is connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft, and a first vertical rod and a second vertical rod are symmetrically connected to the upper sides of the arc-shaped rod. A horizontal bar is evenly connected between the first and second vertical rods, and a diagonal rod is provided at the upper end of the first and second vertical rods. A limiting ring is connected between the diagonal rods, and a limiting sleeve is inserted into the limiting ring. All stirring rods in this high-efficiency and energy-saving stirring device for the production of natural hydrophilic colloids are square rod structures.

[0004] During the use of the above-mentioned device, some small raw material colloids may pass through the holes in the middle part when the stirring rod is stirring, which may lead to uneven stirring of small colloidal raw materials. Therefore, a stirring device for the production of natural hydrophilic colloids is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem in the above-mentioned technology that, when the stirring rod is stirring, the holes in the middle part allow some small raw material colloids to pass through, which may lead to uneven stirring of small colloidal raw materials. Therefore, this invention proposes a stirring device for the production of natural hydrophilic colloids.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A stirring device for producing natural hydrophilic colloids includes a base, a support frame on top of the base, a rotating disk rotatably connected to the top of the support frame, a threaded rod driven by the rotating disk, a connecting block threadedly connected to the threaded rod, a stirring tank fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block, a stirring claw for stirring colloids inside the stirring tank, a second support rod fixedly connected to one end of the stirring claw, a meshing gear fixedly connected to the side of the second support rod, the meshing gear meshing with a disc gear, a rotating disk fixedly connected to the disc gear, a first support rod fixedly connected to the second support rod, and a fixed column rotatably connected to the first support rod, the fixed column being fixed to the bottom of the disc gear. Employing a stirring claw and transmission stirring mechanism, the stirring claw tightly fits against all corners inside the stirring tank. Under the coordinated transmission of the rotating disk, the disc gear, and the meshing gear, stirring action is achieved within the tank, effectively preventing the leakage of fine colloidal raw materials due to holes similar to those in a stirring rod.

[0008] The above technical solution further includes:

[0009] A support column is provided above the base, and a threaded rod is rotatably connected to the side of the support column.

[0010] The disc-shaped gear is rotatably connected to the support frame above. The rotating disc is driven by a transmission belt, which is driven by a threaded rod. The threaded rod is fixedly connected to a motor, which is fixed above the support column.

[0011] A fixed ring is fixedly connected to the side of the support frame, and a rotating ball is rotatably connected to the fixed ring. The rotating ball is sleeved on the outside of the second support rod. In response to the blind spots caused by small colloidal raw materials passing through the holes in traditional stirring, the new stirring device solves the problem of uneven mixing of local raw materials, which affects the overall colloidal properties, by virtue of its special structure.

[0012] The side of the mixing tank is provided with a colloid release valve for releasing colloid, and the connecting block is slidably connected to the support column.

[0013] The support frame has a stabilizing bar on its side for supporting the fixing ring. The fixing ring has a circular groove inside for the rotation of the rotating ball. The stirring claw moves in a complex and orderly manner within the stirring tank. Combined with the stirring tank itself moving up and down with the connecting block driven by the threaded rod, the raw materials are fully mixed in three-dimensional space.

[0014] The threaded rod has threads on its surface, and the stirring claw has an arc-shaped edge that can fit the corner of the stirring barrel. When the connecting block rotates to the edge of the thread at the bottom of the threaded rod, the motor will reverse, which effectively avoids the situation where small colloidal materials leak or accumulate due to holes in the middle of the stirring rod, resulting in inadequate stirring.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the traditional perforated stirring rod design is abandoned. Instead, a stirring claw and transmission stirring mechanism are adopted. The stirring claw fits tightly into every corner of the stirring tank. Under the coordinated transmission of the rotating disc, disc gear and fitting gear, the stirring action is realized in the tank. This effectively avoids the situation where small colloidal materials are leaked or agglomerated due to the holes in the middle of the stirring rod, resulting in inadequate stirring. It ensures that colloidal materials of various particle sizes, regardless of size, can be fully mixed in a powerful and dense stirring process.

[0017] 2. Addressing the issue of blind spots caused by fine colloidal materials passing through holes in traditional mixing methods, the new mixing device, with its unique structure, solves the problem of uneven mixing in certain areas, thus affecting the overall colloidal properties. The complex and orderly mixing trajectory of the stirring claws within the mixing tank, combined with the reciprocating movement of the mixing tank itself driven by the threaded rod along with the connecting block, allows the materials to fully blend in three-dimensional space.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a stirring device for the production of natural hydrophilic colloids, including a base 1, a support frame 2 above the base 1, a rotating disk 3 rotatably connected to the top of the support frame 2, a threaded rod 5 drivingly connected to the rotating disk 3, a connecting block 17 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 5, a stirring tank 15 fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 17, a stirring claw 12 for stirring colloids being provided inside the stirring tank 15, a second support rod 10 fixedly connected to one end of the stirring claw 12, a meshing gear 11 fixedly connected to the side of the second support rod 10, the meshing gear 11 meshing with a disc gear 7, the disc gear 7 fixedly connected to the rotating disk 3, a first support rod 9 fixedly connected to the second support rod 10, a fixing column 8 rotatably connected to the first support rod 9, and the fixing column 8 fixed to the bottom of the disc gear 7.

[0025] In this embodiment, when stirring the colloid, rotating the threaded rod 5 drives the rotating disk 3 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk 3 will drive the disc gear 7 to mesh with the mating gear 11. Under the support of the first support rod 9, the mating gear 11 meshes around the disc gear 7. The mating gear 11 will drive the stirring claw 12 to stir inside the stirring barrel 15. The rotation of the threaded rod 5 will drive 17 to slide on the side of 18. The stirring barrel 15, which is fixed on one side of the connecting block 17, will move up and down accordingly, completing the uniform stirring inside the stirring barrel 15.

[0026] In one embodiment, for the base 1, a support column 18 is provided on the top of the base 1, and a threaded rod 5 is rotatably connected to the side of the support column 18.

[0027] In this embodiment, the support column 18 set above the base 1 facilitates the support of the threaded rod 5, thereby enabling the lifting and lowering of the mixing tank.

[0028] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned disc gear 7, the disc gear 7 is rotatably connected to the support frame 2, the rotating disk 3 is driven by a transmission belt 4, the transmission belt 4 is driven by a threaded rod 5, the threaded rod 5 is fixedly connected to a motor 6, and the motor 6 is fixed above the support column 18.

[0029] In one embodiment, for the support frame 2, a fixing ring 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the support frame 2, and a rotating ball 14 is rotatably connected to the fixing ring 13. The rotating ball 14 is sleeved on the outside of the second support rod 10.

[0030] In this embodiment, the fixing ring 13 provided on the side of the support frame 2 can ensure that the second support rod 10 rotates around a circle, thereby increasing the stability of the overall device.

[0031] In one embodiment, the mixing tank 15 is provided with a colloid release valve 16 for releasing colloid on its side, and the connecting block 17 is slidably connected to the support column 18.

[0032] In this embodiment, the colloid is conveniently discharged through the colloid release valve 16 located on the side of the mixing tank 15.

[0033] In one embodiment, the support frame 2 is provided with a stabilizing bar on its side for supporting the fixing ring 13, and the fixing ring 13 has a circular groove inside for rotating the ball 14.

[0034] In this embodiment, the stability of the mixing inside the mixing tank can be well ensured by the multiple stabilizing bars set on the side of the support frame 2.

[0035] In one embodiment, for the threaded rod 5, the surface of the threaded rod 5 is provided with threads, the surface of the stirring claw 12 is provided with an arc-shaped edge that can fit the corner of the stirring barrel 15, and the motor 6 will reverse when the connecting block 17 rotates to the edge of the bottom thread of the threaded rod 5.

[0036] In this embodiment, the connecting block 17 can be moved up and down by setting the thread on the surface of the threaded rod 15, thereby stirring the inside of the mixing tank.

[0037] The working principle of the stirring device for producing natural hydrophilic colloids in this utility model is as follows: When the stirring process is started, the motor 6 starts first, and then drives the threaded rod 5 to enter a state of uniform rotation. Since the threaded rod 5 and the connecting block 17 are tightly engaged by the thread, as the threaded rod 5 rotates, the connecting block 17 will smoothly slide up and down linearly along the side of the support column 18, and the stirring tank 15, which is fixedly connected to it, will also rise and fall synchronously and stably, achieving the effect of turning over and stirring the colloids at different heights in the vertical dimension, effectively breaking the possible layering phenomenon of the colloids.

[0038] Meanwhile, the rotating threaded rod 5 rotates via the transmission belt 4, transmitting power to the rotating disk 3, causing it to rotate around the axis at the top of the support frame 2. The disc-shaped gear 7 fixed to the rotating disk 3 also rotates synchronously, and the meshing gear 11 with it forms a transmission pair. Relying on the stable support provided by the first support rod 9, the meshing gear 11 continuously meshes and rolls around the outer circumference of the disc-shaped gear 7. During this process, the meshing gear 11 seamlessly transmits its rotational motion to the connected stirring claw 12, driving the stirring claw 12 to perform all-round and multi-angle stirring inside the mixing tank 15, fully dispersing and mixing various raw materials and colloidal particles, ensuring that the colloidal system is uniform.

[0039] After thorough mixing, once all the physicochemical properties and mixing degree of the colloid meet the standards, the operator only needs to conveniently open the colloid release valve 16 on the side of the mixing tank 15. Under the action of gravity or with the assistance of slight external pressure, the prepared and uniformly mixed colloid can flow out smoothly through the valve channel, achieving rapid discharge and timely supply of high-quality materials for subsequent processes.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
