Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dye preparation technology, specifically to a dye mixing device. Background Technology
[0002] Dyes are a class of organic compounds that can give other substances bright and fast colors. Since the pigments used now are all artificially synthesized, they are also called synthetic dyes. Dye mixing equipment is a device used to automatically and precisely control the dye ratio and mixing. It requires a combination of color matching, automatic weighing and mixing mechanisms, among which different ingredients need to be mixed by a mixing mechanism.
[0003] CN213434026U discloses a dye mixing device for printing and dyeing. This device includes a mixing cylinder with a stirring mechanism rotatably connected inside. A support tube is fitted onto the outer surface of the stirring mechanism, and a dripping mechanism is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support tube. The stirring mechanism includes stirring blades. In this dye mixing device, supply bottles of different colors are inserted into a metering cylinder. A float and a top block ensure a constant liquid level in the metering cylinder. Liquid is supplied to the dripping tube through a connecting pipe. Rotating the threaded shaft changes the opening and closing size between the sealing block and the dripping tube, thus altering the leakage rate. The dye falls into the mixing cylinder, and a motor drives the stirring blades to mix the dye. After mixing, clean water is supplied through the inlet pipe to dilute the dye and raise the float plate, while the water leaks out through the outlet pipe to drain the liquid. This solves the problem of continuous feeding and mixing in some mixing devices.
[0004] While the existing technology CN213434026U has many advantages in use, it still has the following problems: it is not perfect in terms of material turning during the mixing process. In order to reduce the mixing resistance, a smaller blade area is used, which results in the need for multiple blades to mix inside the mixing tank. It cannot adjust the contact area between the mixing blades and the material on its own, which affects the material turning effect of the mixing blades. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the problems in the existing technology, this utility model provides a dye mixing device.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a dye mixing device, including a stirring tank, a drive shaft, a rotating shaft and a connecting shaft. The drive shaft is provided on one side of the upper end of the inner wall of the stirring tank. The connecting shaft is welded to the outer wall of the lower end of the drive shaft. A bearing is embedded in one side of the inner wall of the drive shaft. A transmission shaft is rotatably installed inside the bearing. The first bevel gears are equidistantly and parallelly distributed on the outer wall of the lower end of the transmission shaft. Rotating shafts are rotatably installed on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting shaft.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive shaft can drive the connecting shaft to rotate circumferentially, thereby cooperating with the stirring blades to stir and mix different ingredients inside the mixing tank, ensuring that the dye is effectively mixed in the mixing tank and improving the efficiency and accuracy of the mixing ratio.
[0008] Specifically, a circular array of feed pipes is inserted and installed on the upper outer wall of the mixing tank. The feed pipes are designed with a curved shape and are connected to the inside of the mixing tank.
[0009] Multiple feed pipes allow for the simultaneous and uniform addition of various dye ingredients into the mixing tank, preventing dye accumulation and uneven mixing during the addition process. The curved shape of the feed pipes also reduces the impact and splashing of dye during flow, improving operational safety.
[0010] A discharge pipe is inserted and installed on one side of the lower outer wall of the mixing tank, and the discharge pipe is connected to the inside of the mixing tank.
[0011] The discharge pipe allows for convenient control of dye discharge. Once the dye mixture is prepared, the discharge pipe can be opened to discharge the mixed dye, facilitating subsequent production and use.
[0012] A drive mechanism is provided on one side of the upper outer wall of the mixing tank. The drive mechanism consists of a support base and a drive motor. The support base is installed on the upper end of the mixing tank, and the drive shaft is rotatably installed inside the support base. The drive motor is installed on the upper end of the support base and is connected to the drive shaft.
[0013] The support base ensures the stable rotation of the drive shaft, while the drive motor provides sufficient power to drive the stirring blades for stirring, thus improving the reliability and stability of the equipment.
[0014] Limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the drive shaft, and bolts are threadedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the transmission shaft, with the bolts located inside the limiting grooves.
[0015] The bolts ensure the stable fixation of the drive shaft within the drive shaft. This design not only guarantees the accurate rotation of the drive shaft, but also allows the first bevel gear to rotate circumferentially by rotating the drive shaft, thereby enabling the adjustment of the stirring blade's angle.
[0016] A stirring blade is installed on the outer wall of one end of the rotating shaft. The stirring blade is located outside the connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft is located inside the mixing tank.
[0017] The placement of the stirring blades ensures more thorough mixing of the dye within the mixing tank. The connecting shaft, located inside the tank, guarantees that the stirring blades can reach every corner of the dye, improving mixing efficiency and proportioning accuracy. This design is suitable for various dye formulations, offering strong versatility. Furthermore, by adjusting the angle of the stirring blades, the contact area between the blades and the material can be adjusted, reducing the distance between the blade end face and the lower inner wall of the mixing tank. This allows the rotation of the blades to tumble the material at the lower end of the tank, effectively turning it over.
[0018] A second bevel gear is installed on the outer wall of one end of the rotating shaft. The second bevel gear is located inside the connecting shaft and meshes with the first bevel gear.
[0019] The meshing of the second bevel gear with the first bevel gear enables the drive shaft to drive the rotating shaft. This design allows the rotating shaft to rotate at the same speed and direction as the drive shaft, thus achieving the purpose of adjusting the contact area between the stirring blades and the material.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0021] (1) The dye mixing device described in this utility model has multiple feed pipes, which allows multiple dye ingredients to be added to the mixing tank simultaneously and evenly, avoiding the problems of dye accumulation and uneven mixing during the addition process.
[0022] (2) The dye mixing equipment described in this utility model can adjust the contact area between the stirring blade and the material, so that the distance between the end face of the stirring blade and the lower end of the inner wall of the mixing tank becomes smaller, so that the rotation of the stirring blade can turn up the material at the lower end of the mixing tank, thereby achieving the purpose of turning the material and improving the uniformity and efficiency of the mixing.

[0029] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0030] To save manpower and improve efficiency, as one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the dye mixing device of this utility model includes a mixing tank 1, a drive shaft 2, a rotating shaft 3, and a connecting shaft 21. The drive shaft 2 is provided on one side of the upper end of the inner wall of the mixing tank 1. The connecting shaft 21 is welded to the outer wall of the lower end of the drive shaft 2. A bearing 23 is embedded in one side of the inner wall of the drive shaft 2. A transmission shaft 24 is rotatably installed inside the bearing 23. The first bevel gear 26 is equidistantly and parallelly distributed on the outer wall of the lower end of the transmission shaft 24. Rotating shafts 3 are rotatably installed on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting shaft 21.
[0031] In use, the drive shaft 2 can drive the connecting shaft 21 to rotate in a circular motion, thereby cooperating with the stirring blades 32 to stir and mix different ingredients inside the mixing tank 1, ensuring that the dye is effectively mixed in the mixing tank 1, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of the mixing ratio.
[0032] For example, for feeding, such as Figure 1 As shown, a circular array of feed pipes 12 are inserted and installed on the upper outer wall of the mixing tank 1. The feed pipes 12 are designed with a curved shape and are connected to the inside of the mixing tank 1.
[0033] During use, multiple feed pipes 12 allow for the simultaneous and uniform addition of various dye ingredients into the mixing tank 1, avoiding problems such as dye accumulation and uneven mixing during the addition process. The curved shape of the feed pipes 12 also reduces the impact and splashing of dye during the flow process, improving operational safety.
[0034] For unloading, for example, such as Figure 1 As shown, a discharge pipe 11 is inserted and installed on one side of the lower outer wall of the mixing tank 1, and the discharge pipe 11 is connected to the inside of the mixing tank 1.
[0035] During use, the discharge pipe 11 allows for convenient control of dye discharge. Once the dye mixture is prepared, the discharge pipe 11 can be opened to discharge the mixed dye, facilitating subsequent production and use.
[0036] To drive rotation, for example, such as Figure 1 As shown, a drive mechanism 13 is provided on one side of the upper outer wall of the mixing tank 1. The drive mechanism 13 consists of a bearing 23 seat and a drive motor. The bearing 23 seat is installed on the upper end of the mixing tank 1, and the drive shaft 2 is rotatably installed inside the bearing 23 seat. The drive motor is installed on the upper end of the bearing 23 seat and is connected to the drive shaft 2.
[0037] During use, bearing 23 ensures the stable rotation of drive shaft 2, while drive motor provides sufficient power to drive stirring blade 32 for stirring, thus improving the reliability and stability of the equipment.
[0038] To fix the usage location, for example, such as Figure 3 As shown, limit grooves 22 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the drive shaft 2, and bolts 25 are threadedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the transmission shaft 24, with the bolts 25 located inside the limit grooves 22.
[0039] In use, the bolt 25 securely fixes the transmission shaft 24 within the drive shaft 2. This design not only ensures the accurate rotation of the transmission shaft 24, but also enables the first bevel gear 26 to rotate circumferentially by rotating the transmission shaft 24, thereby allowing adjustment of the angle of the stirring blade 32.
[0040] To mix materials, for example, such as Figure 2 As shown, a stirring blade 32 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the rotating shaft 3. The stirring blade 32 is located outside the connecting shaft 21, and the connecting shaft 21 is located inside the stirring tank 1.
[0041] During use, the installation position of the stirring blades 32 ensures more thorough mixing of the dye within the mixing tank 1. The connecting shaft 21, located inside the mixing tank 1, ensures that the stirring blades 32 can reach every corner of the dye, improving the mixing effect and proportioning accuracy. This design is suitable for different dye ratios, offering strong versatility. Furthermore, by adjusting the angle of the stirring blades 32, the contact area between the blades 32 and the material can be adjusted, reducing the distance between the end face of the stirring blades 32 and the lower end of the inner wall of the mixing tank 1. This allows the rotation of the stirring blades 32 to tumble the material at the lower end of the mixing tank 1, achieving the purpose of material turning.
[0042] To adjust the viewing angle, for example, such as Figure 4As shown, a second bevel gear 31 is installed on the outer wall of one end of the rotating shaft 3. The second bevel gear 31 is located inside the connecting shaft 21 and meshes with the first bevel gear 26.
[0043] In use, the meshing of the second bevel gear 31 with the first bevel gear 26 enables the drive shaft 24 to drive the rotating shaft 3. This design allows the rotating shaft 3 to rotate at the same speed and direction as the drive shaft 24, thus achieving the purpose of adjusting the contact area between the stirring blades 32 and the material.
[0044] In use, this invention uses a circular array of feed pipes 12 to simultaneously and evenly add different types of dye ingredients into the mixing tank 1. The flow rate of different feed pipes 12 can be adjusted as needed to ensure accurate dye ratios. As the drive motor operates, the drive shaft 2 drives the connecting shaft 21 to rotate in a circular motion. The rotating shaft 3 rotates with the connecting shaft 21. The stirring blades 32 agitate the dye in the mixing tank 1 to ensure that the dye is fully mixed.
[0045] If it is necessary to adjust the operating angle of the stirring blade 32, the position of the first bevel gear 26 can be changed by rotating the transmission shaft 24. The rotation position of the transmission shaft 24 is maintained by the bearing 23, and the operating angle of the transmission shaft 24 is fixed by the bolt 25. The angle between the second bevel gear 31 and the stirring blade 32 can be adjusted by the meshing relationship, thereby adjusting the contact area between the stirring blade 32 and the material.
[0046] It should be noted that this utility model is a dye mixing device. All components in this utility model are known to those skilled in the art, and their structure and principle can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The descriptions of the above embodiments and specifications are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
