Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stirring device technology, specifically to an emulsification and homogenization device. Background Technology

[0002] Emulsified eucalyptus oil is an emulsion formed by uniformly dispersing eucalyptus oil in water using emulsification technology. This process requires the addition of emulsifiers, which alter the physical properties of eucalyptus oil, making its applications more extensive. It has important uses in aquaculture, medicine, and daily chemical industries.

[0003] Emulsification homogenizers are devices used to uniformly mix two or more immiscible liquids to form a stable emulsion. They are widely used in many industries such as food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

[0004] A prior art patent with publication number CN214973129U discloses a solution including a rotating frame, a fixed frame, a first motor, a first guide rail, and a first lifting assembly. The first motor drives the rotating frame to rotate, and the first lifting assembly moves on the first guide rail. Several first guide rails are arranged on the side of the rotating frame, and the lifting assembly is installed on each of the first guide rails, enabling the simultaneous accommodation of multiple emulsification tanks. After the raw material in one emulsification tank has been emulsified and homogenized, the rotating frame rotates via the motor, allowing the raw material from the next emulsification tank to continue working. This ensures continuous and uninterrupted operation of the emulsification homogenizer, reduces the use of manpower and resources, and improves production efficiency.

[0005] The shortcomings of existing technology have gradually become apparent with use, mainly in the following aspects:

[0006] First, in the existing process of mixing eucalyptus oil and emulsifier, the mixing device is limited, which prevents the eucalyptus oil from being evenly mixed and contacted with the emulsifier, thus affecting the efficiency of emulsification and homogenization.

[0007] Secondly, existing homogenizing devices have poor agitation of eucalyptus oil and emulsifier during the mixing process, which affects the uniformity of the mixture.

[0008] In conclusion, the existing technology obviously has inconveniences and defects in practical use, so it is necessary to improve it. Utility Model Content

[0009] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an emulsification and homogenization device to solve the problems in traditional technologies where, during the mixing process of eucalyptus oil and emulsifier, the stirring device limits the uniform mixing and contact between eucalyptus oil and emulsifier, thus affecting the efficiency of emulsification and homogenization; and where existing homogenization devices suffer from poor agitation of eucalyptus oil and emulsifier during the mixing process, affecting the uniformity of mixing.

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0011] An emulsification and homogenization device includes an emulsification tank, a main shaft rotatably mounted inside the emulsification tank, a plurality of main stirring blades surrounding the peripheral wall of the main shaft, a drive ring rotatably mounted inside the emulsification tank and coaxially arranged with the main shaft, and a plurality of side stirring blades fixedly connected to the drive ring and arranged circumferentially, wherein a main shearing zone is formed between the inner wall of the side stirring blades and the outer wall of the main stirring blades.

[0012] The outer wall of the main stirring blade has several rectangular grooves from top to bottom, and the inner wall of the side stirring blade has rectangular plates from top to bottom that match the rectangular grooves, forming a secondary shearing region between the rectangular plates and the rectangular grooves.

[0013] As an optimized solution, when the main shaft rotates, several main stirring blades are used to form an outward flow channel that moves the material from the center to the outside.

[0014] As an optimized solution, when the drive ring rotates, it uses several side stirring blades to move the material from the outside to the center of the inner flow channel.

[0015] As an optimized solution, the main stirring blades are evenly distributed with several main dispersion holes.

[0020] As an optimized solution, the upper ends of several of the side stirring blades are jointly fixed to the lower surface of the drive ring, and the lower ends of several of the side stirring blades are jointly fixed to the connecting ring.

[0021] As an optimized solution, the inner ring of the drive ring is fixedly connected to a toothed ring, the top of the emulsifying tank is fixedly connected to a drive motor, and the output shaft of the drive motor meshes with the toothed ring using a drive gear.

[0026] As an optimized solution, the side stirring blades are arranged radially towards the emulsifying tank in a top-view orientation.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0028] When the main shaft rotates, the main stirring blades form an outer flow channel that moves the material from the center to the outside; when the drive ring rotates, the side stirring blades form an inner flow channel that moves the material from the outside to the center, thus realizing the movement of the material to form convection and further improving the mixing uniformity of eucalyptus oil and emulsifier.

[0030] By having several main dispersion holes evenly distributed on the main stirring blades and several side dispersion holes evenly distributed on the side stirring blades and rectangular plate, the emulsion is further dispersed and refined during rotation, thereby further improving the emulsification and homogenization efficiency.

[0036] The outer wall of the main stirring blade 3 has several rectangular grooves from top to bottom, and the inner wall of the side stirring blade 4 has rectangular plates from top to bottom that match the rectangular grooves, and a secondary shearing area 8 is formed between the rectangular plates and the rectangular grooves.

[0037] When the main shaft 2 rotates, several main stirring blades 3 form an outflow channel that moves the material from the center to the outside.

[0038] When the drive ring 9 rotates, it uses several side stirring blades 4 to move the material from the outside to the center of the inner flow channel.

[0039] The outer wall of the side stirring blade 4 comes into frictional contact with the inner wall of the emulsification tank 1.

[0040] Several main dispersion holes 5 are evenly distributed on the main stirring blade 3.

[0041] The side stirring blades 4 and the rectangular plate are evenly distributed with several side dispersion holes 6.

[0042] The main shaft 2 has several bottom stirring blades 13 that rub against the bottom surface of the emulsion tank 1 on the peripheral wall near the lower end.

[0043] The lower end of the main shaft 2 extends through the emulsifying tank 1 to the outside. A feeding channel is provided at the lower end of the main shaft 2. Several distributing holes 15 that connect to the feeding channel are provided on the peripheral wall of the main shaft 2 between adjacent bottom stirring blades 13.
