Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silica gel cat litter production technology, and in particular to a rapid automated acid mixing equipment for silica gel cat litter production. Background Technology

[0002] Silica gel cat litter, as a new type of pet cat cleaning product, has seen a surge in popularity in recent years and is favored by cat owners. It is mainly composed of silica gel granules and relies on the inherent properties of silica gel to treat cat excrement. Its core component, silica, is specially processed to form granules with a porous structure. These fine pores give silica gel a strong adsorption capacity, which can quickly absorb moisture from cat urine and efficiently capture odor molecules. Compared with traditional cat litter, silica gel cat litter is chemically stable and will not react with excrement to produce harmful gases, making it safer.

[0003] In the production process of silica gel cat litter, a crucial step is the dilution of sulfuric acid in a tank, reducing the 93-degree sulfuric acid to 6 degrees. This step plays a vital role in ensuring the quality of the silica gel cat litter. Currently, automated acid mixing devices on the market are usually equipped with cooling pipes. By allowing tap water to flow through the cooling pipes, the heat inside the device is carried away, lowering the temperature to 20-30 degrees Celsius, thus achieving the cooling target. However, this method of cooling by tap water has significant drawbacks. Because the temperature of tap water is greatly affected by the external environment, especially when the outside temperature is high, the temperature of the tap water rises accordingly, causing its cooling effect to be greatly reduced. Ultimately, this seriously affects the cooling efficiency of the sulfuric acid reaction in the tank, which may adversely affect the production quality of the silica gel cat litter, making it impractical. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the defects of the prior art mentioned above, the inventors conducted in-depth research and, after a great deal of creative work, completed this utility model.

[0005] Specifically, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a rapid automated acid mixing equipment for the production of silica gel cat litter, so as to solve the technical problem that the current automated acid mixing equipment will cause the tap water temperature to rise in high temperature weather, which will affect the cooling efficiency of sulfuric acid reaction in the equipment.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A rapid automated acid mixing device for producing silica gel cat litter includes a tank, a support frame on top of the tank, a storage tank connected to the top of the support frame, and the bottom of the storage tank connected to the tank through a conveying pipe. The tank is equipped with cooling pipes arranged in a spiral pattern, a stirring mechanism is provided inside the cooling pipes, and a cooling mechanism is provided on one side of the tank.

[0008] The cooling mechanism includes a water tank, with an air duct at the top of the water tank. A heat dissipation pipe is installed inside the air duct, and one end of the heat dissipation pipe is connected to the end of the cooling pipe near the top of the tank. A motor is fixedly installed inside the lower opening of the air duct, and a fan blade is connected to the output end of the motor.

[0009] As an improved technical solution, the cooling mechanism further includes a crankshaft, which is rotatably mounted on one side of the water tank. The upper end of the crankshaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. A push rod is hinged to the concave part of the crankshaft via a connector. A pump cylinder is installed on one side of the water tank. A piston is connected to the end of the push rod away from the crankshaft inside the pump cylinder. A water inlet is opened on one side of the top of the pump cylinder, and a one-way valve is provided in the water inlet. A conduit with a one-way valve is connected to the end of the pump cylinder away from the push rod, and one end of the conduit is connected to the lower end of the cooling pipe. A cooler is provided on the pump cylinder side at the bottom of the water tank. A temperature sensor is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the water tank.

[0010] As an improved technical solution, the heat dissipation pipes are arranged in a meandering curve, and the vertical sidewalls of the heat dissipation pipes are symmetrically provided with several heat dissipation fins.

[0011] As an improved technical solution, a support plate is fixedly installed on the top of the push rod inside the water tank on the side away from the pump barrel, and a sealing ring is fitted on the outer wall of the piston.

[0012] As an improved technical solution, the stirring mechanism includes a conveying auger, which is rotatably installed on the top of the tank. A second motor is connected to the upper end of the conveying auger at the top of the tank, and the second motor is located inside a support frame. A conveying cylinder is fitted around the outside of the conveying auger, and one end of the conveying cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the tank. A support rod is connected to the lower end of the conveying auger outside the conveying cylinder. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed at symmetrical positions on the top of the support rod. Several stirring blades are symmetrically arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A gear ring is fitted around the end of the rotating shaft away from the support rod. A gear is fixedly installed on the top of the tank, and the gear meshes with the gear ring.

[0013] As an improved technical solution, a support ring is fixedly installed on the top of the tank body, and the support ring is located between two rotating shafts. The toothed ring is located between the support ring and the toothed ring, and the relative inner wall surfaces of the support ring and the toothed ring and the top surface of the tank body are combined to form a convex shape.

[0014] As an improved technical solution, the conveying cylinder has several discharge ports symmetrically opened on the outer wall near the top of the tank, and several through holes are symmetrically opened on the side wall of the conveying cylinder. The stirring blade is inclined and the angle between the stirring blade and the rotating shaft is an acute angle.

[0015] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model, through a cooling mechanism, enables the recycling of cooling water, saving water resources. Simultaneously, a motor drives the fan blades to rotate, dissipating heat from the water after it has absorbed heat through the heat dissipation fins. This, combined with a chiller, cools the water in the tank, ensuring it remains at a low temperature. This prevents the water from overheating, which would significantly reduce the cooling effect and ultimately negatively impact the cooling efficiency during the sulfuric acid reaction in the tank, thus avoiding adverse effects on the production quality of silica gel cat litter.

[0017] 2. The stirring mechanism of this utility model can drive the rotating shaft to make the stirring blades revolve around the conveying auger while rotating on their own axis, thereby improving the stirring and mixing effect. At the same time, it can continuously transport the solution in the lower part of the tank upward, causing it to tumble, further improving the mixing and dilution effect of sulfuric acid and water, thus achieving higher dilution efficiency and improving the preparation efficiency of this automated acid preparation.

[0018] 3. This utility model, through the support plate, can be linked with the push rod to continuously push the cooling water in the mixing tank, accelerate its heat dissipation, and make its temperature distribution uniform. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature.

[0032] like Figure 1 - Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a rapid automated acid mixing equipment for the production of silica gel cat litter, including a tank 1, a support frame on the top of the tank 1, a storage tank 4 connected to the top of the support frame, and the bottom of the storage tank 4 connected to the tank 1 through a conveying pipe. A cooling pipe 5 is provided inside the tank 1, and the cooling pipe 5 is distributed in a spiral shape. A stirring mechanism 3 is provided inside the cooling pipe 5. A cooling mechanism 2 is provided on one side of the tank 1. The cooling mechanism 2 includes a water tank 201, an air duct 202 on the top of the water tank 201, a heat dissipation pipe 205 inside the air duct 202, and one end of the heat dissipation pipe 205 is connected to the end of the cooling pipe 5 near the top of the tank 1. A motor 203 is fixedly installed inside the lower opening of the air duct 202, and a fan blade 204 is connected to the output end of the motor 203.

[0033] In this example, the cooling mechanism 2 also includes a crankshaft 207, which is rotatably mounted on one side of the water tank 201. The upper end of the crankshaft 207 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 203. A push rod 209 is hinged to the concave part of the crankshaft 207 via a connector 208. A pump cylinder 210 is installed on one side inside the water tank 201. A piston 211 is connected to the end of the push rod 209 away from the crankshaft 207 inside the pump cylinder 210. A water inlet is opened on one side of the top of the pump cylinder 210, and a one-way valve is provided inside the water inlet. A conduit 212 with a one-way valve is connected to the end of the pump cylinder 210 away from the push rod 209, and one end of the conduit 212 is connected to the lower end of the cooling pipe 5. A cooler 213 is provided on one side of the pump cylinder 210 at the bottom of the water tank 201. A temperature sensor 214 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the water tank 201. The system is designed to continuously drive the piston 211 to reciprocate, thereby continuously pushing cooling water to the cooling pipe 5. This cools the solution in the tank 1 and allows it to be used for cooling. The water that has absorbed heat flows back to the heat dissipation pipe 205 and then back to the water tank 201 for recycling, saving resources. At the same time, the heat dissipation fins 206 absorb and dissipate the heat in the water flowing through the heat dissipation pipe 205. Together with the motor 203 and fan blades 204, the heat is expelled to the outside, providing initial heat dissipation. The cooler 213 further cools the water in the water tank 201, improving the cooling effect and keeping the water at a low temperature. Even in hot weather, it can achieve a good cooling effect, avoiding the occurrence of poor quality silica gel cat litter due to poor cooling effect, making it more practical.

[0034] In this example, the heat dissipation pipes 205 are arranged in a meandering curve. Several heat dissipation fins 206 are symmetrically opened on the side wall of the vertical part of the heat dissipation pipes 205 in order to increase the residence time of water inside them and better dissipate heat from the heat dissipation fins 206.

[0035] In this example, a support plate 215 is fixedly installed on the top of the push rod 209 inside the water tank 201 on the side away from the pump cylinder 210, and a sealing ring is fitted on the outer wall of the piston 211 so that the cooling water can be stirred by the support plate 215, causing it to tumble, accelerating its heat dissipation, and making its temperature distribution uniform.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the example, the stirring mechanism 3 includes a conveying auger 301, which is rotatably mounted on the top of the tank 1. A motor 302 is connected to the upper end of the conveying auger 301 at the top of the tank 1, and the motor 302 is located within a support frame. A conveying cylinder 303 is fitted around the outside of the conveying auger 301, and one end of the conveying cylinder 303 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank 1. A support rod 304 is connected to the lower end of the conveying auger 301 outside the conveying cylinder 303. Rotary shafts 305 are rotatably mounted at symmetrical positions on the top of the support rods 304. The outer wall of the rotating shafts 305... The device is equipped with several stirring blades 306. A gear ring 307 is fitted onto the end of the rotating shaft 305 away from the support rod 304. A gear 308 is fixedly installed at the top of the tank body 1, and the gear 308 meshes with the gear ring 307. Through the stirring mechanism 3, the rotating shaft 305 and the stirring blades 306 can be driven to rotate synchronously around the support rod 304. The rotating shaft 305 can also drive the stirring blades 306 to rotate, thereby improving the mixing effect of sulfuric acid and water. The solution in the lower part of the tank body 1 can be continuously transported to the upper part to ensure uniform mixing and improve the acid production efficiency of the automatic acid mixing equipment.

[0037] In this example, a support ring 309 is fixedly installed on the top of the tank 1, and the support ring 309 is located between two rotating shafts 305. A toothed ring 307 is located between the support ring 309 and the toothed ring 307. The relative inner wall surfaces of the support ring 309 and the toothed ring 307 and the top surface of the tank 1 are combined to form a convex shape, so as to limit and guide the toothed ring 307 and improve the stability of the rotating shaft 305.

[0038] In this example, the conveying cylinder 303 has several symmetrically opened discharge ports near the top outer wall of the tank 1, and several symmetrically opened through holes on the side wall of the conveying cylinder 303. The stirring blade 306 is inclined and the angle between the stirring blade 306 and the rotating shaft 305 is an acute angle so that the stirring blade 306 can be used to stir the solution upward and improve the stirring effect.

[0039] In operation, the starter motor 203 drives the crankshaft 207 to rotate, causing the drive connector 208 to continuously push and pull the push rod 209. This, in turn, drives the piston 211 to reciprocate left and right within the pump cylinder 210, continuously pushing the water entering the pump cylinder 210 to the conduit 212, and then to the cooling pipe 5. This allows the water to cool the solution prepared in the tank 1. Afterward, the cooling water in the cooling pipe 5 flows into the heat dissipation pipe 205 and then back to the water tank 201, forming a cycle for water recycling. The heat dissipation fins 206 absorb the heat from the water flowing through the heat dissipation pipe 205 and dissipate it into the air duct 202, working in conjunction with the starter motor 203 to drive the fan blades 204. This allows heat to be dissipated outside the air duct 202, providing initial cooling for the water. Then, the chiller 213 is activated to further cool the water in the water tank 201, maintaining a low temperature to ensure effective cooling, even in hot weather. The temperature sensor 214 monitors the water temperature in the tank 201, allowing the controller to adjust the temperature. Simultaneously, the push rod 209 moves, driving the connected support plate 215 in a reciprocating motion, continuously agitating the water in the tank 201, accelerating heat dissipation, and ensuring a uniform temperature distribution to prevent interference with cooling. The solution in tank 1 is cooled and de-temperatured. During operation, the cooling mechanism 2 works as follows: when piston 211 moves to the right, the one-way valve in the inlet closes, and the one-way valve on the conduit 212 opens; when piston 211 moves to the left, the one-way valve in the inlet opens, and the one-way valve on the conduit 212 closes, thus continuously drawing and pushing water. For acid dilution, when preparing acid, water can be pre-filled into tank 1, and a measured amount of sulfuric acid can be input into storage tank 43. The sulfuric acid flows into tank 1 through the conveying pipe. Starting motor 302 drives the conveying auger 301 to rotate, which in turn drives the support rod 304 to rotate synchronously, causing it to drive the connected shaft 305 and gear ring 307 in the gear 308 and support ring. The movement of the auger 309, along with the meshing of the gear ring 307 and gear 308, drives the rotating shaft 305 to rotate the stirring blade 306. This causes the rotating shaft 305 to rotate around the conveying auger 301 while simultaneously rotating on its own axis, improving the mixing effect of the solution in the tank 1 and ensuring uniform mixing. Furthermore, since sulfuric acid sinks to the bottom of the tank 1 when added to water, the rotation of the conveying auger 301, in conjunction with the conveying cylinder 303, can transport the solution located at the bottom of the tank 1 upwards, causing the solution to tumble and further improving the mixing effect. This results in higher mixing efficiency and increased acid production efficiency of the automatic acid preparation equipment, making it more practical.

Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the technical description of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various alterations, modifications, and / or variations to this utility model, and all such equivalent forms also fall within the scope of protection defined by the appended claims.
