[0032] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, a high-efficiency pigment grinding and dispersing device includes a dispersing mechanism, a cleaning mechanism 1, and a temperature control mechanism 2. The dispersing mechanism includes a pre-dispersing tank 3, a buffer tank 4, and a dispersing tank 5 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The lower end of the pre-dispersing tank 3 is provided with a first discharge port 3b, and the upper side is provided with a first feed port 3a. The pre-dispersing tank 3 is connected to the buffer tank 4 through the first discharge port 3b, and a first valve 10 is provided on the first discharge port 3b.

[0034] The dispersion tank 5 is provided with a second inlet 5a on one side of the upper end and a second outlet 5b at the lower end. The dispersion tank 5 is connected to the buffer tank 4 through the second inlet 5a. A second valve 20 is provided on the second outlet 5b and a third valve 30 is provided on the second inlet 5a.

[0035] A circulation pipe 6 communicating with the tank cavity is provided on one side of the dispersion tank 5. One end of the circulation pipe 6 is connected to the bottom of the dispersion tank 5, and the other end is connected to the upper side of the dispersion tank 5. A circulation pump 7 is provided on the circulation pipe 6.

[0036] The cleaning mechanism 1 is used to clean the tank cavities of the pre-dispersion tank 3, buffer tank 4, and dispersion tank 5.

[0037] The temperature control mechanism 2 is used to control the temperature inside the pre-dispersion tank 3 and the dispersion tank 5.

[0038] In this embodiment, firstly, solvent, titanium dioxide, dispersion resin, and defoamer are poured into pre-dispersion tank 3 all at once to initially break up agglomerates, reduce the load on the main tank, and improve the uniformity of the titanium dioxide slurry particle size. Then, the pre-dispersed titanium dioxide slurry is transferred to dispersion tank 5 through buffer tank 4, and the titanium dioxide particles are forcibly suspended by circulation pump 7 to prevent them from settling to the bottom. At the same time, dynamic shear force is used to improve dispersion efficiency. The buffer tank 4 is set up to connect the pre-dispersion and main dispersion stages, avoiding production process interruption and improving processing continuity. The cleaning mechanism 1 is set up to quickly clean the tank cavities of pre-dispersion tank 3, buffer tank 4, and dispersion tank 5, reducing residual contamination and ensuring batch consistency. The temperature control mechanism 2 is set up to control the temperature inside pre-dispersion tank 3 and dispersion tank 5 to prevent overheating during high-speed dispersion from deteriorating the performance of the slurry. The circulation pump forces the titanium dioxide particles to suspend, preventing them from settling to the bottom and accelerating dynamic shear dispersion.

[0039] The grinding and dispersing device described above improves the uniformity of pigment particle size, increases dispersion efficiency, and enables efficient and stable continuous production.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the pre-dispersion tank 3 is equipped with a first stirring assembly 31, which is electrically connected to the first valve 10;

[0041] The dispersion tank 5 is equipped with a second stirring assembly 51, which is electrically connected to the second valve 20 and the third valve 30.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the first stirring component 31 completes stirring, the first valve 10 is opened, allowing the pre-dispersed titanium dioxide slurry in the pre-dispersion tank 3 to enter the buffer tank 4 for pre-storage under gravity. When the second stirring component 51 completes stirring, it stops, and the third valve 30 is opened to discharge the finished pigment paste. After completion, the third valve 30 is closed, and the second valve 20 is opened, allowing the pre-dispersed titanium dioxide slurry in the buffer tank 4 to enter the dispersion tank 5. After a set time is reached, the second valve 20 is closed, and then the second stirring component 51 is started. By repeating the above steps, efficient, stable, and continuous production of white pigment paste can be achieved.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to break down and evenly distribute titanium dioxide particles and improve pre-dispersion efficiency and effect, the stirring disc of the first stirring component 31 is a high-speed sawtooth or slotted dispersion disc.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the grinding and dispersion effect and efficiency of white pigment, the stirring head of the second stirring component 51 is a high-shear homogenizing emulsifying head.

[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 1 includes an annular spray pipe 11 and a water supply pipe 12. The annular spray pipe 11 is respectively installed on the upper side of the pre-dispersion tank 3, buffer tank 4 and dispersion tank 5. The annular spray pipe 11 has a plurality of water spray holes that are inclined toward the inner wall of the tank.

[0046] One end of the water supply pipe 12 is connected to the annular spray pipe 11, and the other end is connected to the high-pressure water source 8. A fourth valve 9 is installed on the water supply pipe 12.

[0047] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to remove residual pigment from the tank, the fourth valve 9 is opened, and high-pressure water is sprayed onto the inner wall of the tank from multiple spray holes at different positions after passing through the water supply pipe 12 and the annular spray pipe 11. At the same time, the first valve 10, the second valve 20 and the third valve 30 are opened simultaneously, so that the residual dirt is discharged from the tank, thereby achieving rapid cleaning of residual pigment, reducing residual pollution and ensuring batch consistency.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to improve the cleaning effect on the residue on the inner wall of the tank, a spray head 13 is provided on the spray hole of the annular spray pipe 11.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to prevent the heat generated by the high-speed dispersion of the pre-dispersion tank 3 and the dispersion tank 5 from being too high and damaging the performance of the pigment, the temperature control mechanism 2 includes a cooling jacket 21, which is respectively provided on the outside of the pre-dispersion tank 3 and the dispersion tank 5.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, in order to more accurately and energy-efficiently prevent the color paste temperature inside the tank from becoming too high, the temperature control mechanism 2 also includes a temperature sensor 22 electrically connected to the cooling jacket 21. The temperature sensor 22 is respectively set on the pre-dispersion tank 3 and the dispersion tank 5, and is used to detect the temperature of the color paste in the pre-dispersion tank 3 and the dispersion tank 5 respectively.

[0051] Furthermore, the first valve 10, the second valve 20, and the third valve 30 are solenoid valves.

[0052] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model patent.
