[0003] After the production of polycarboxylate superplasticizer is completed, it needs to be stored and transported using storage devices. Existing storage devices lack fixed devices, and during the movement, the storage devices are prone to shaking or tilting, which can lead to leakage of polycarboxylate superplasticizer in the tank and affect the normal transportation of polycarboxylate superplasticizer. In addition, when polycarboxylate superplasticizer products are left to stand for a long time, sedimentation or stratification will occur, affecting the uniformity and performance stability of the product. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the preferred embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art.
[0019] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, this utility model discloses a polycarboxylate superplasticizer storage device. The polycarboxylate superplasticizer storage device mainly includes a movable base 1, a storage tank 2, a flexible fixing mechanism 3, and a stirring mechanism 4. The movable base 1 is composed of a bottom support frame 11, support wheels 12, a handrail frame 13, and casters 14. Support wheels 12 are installed at the ends of the bottom support frame 11 to support the weight of the entire device. The handrail frame 13 is located at the end of the bottom support frame 11 to facilitate the operator to push the device to move. An annular groove 15 is provided in the middle of the bottom support frame 11. An annular buffer pad is adhered to the inner wall of the annular groove 15. The annular buffer pad is made of rubber or silicone material and is fixed to the inner wall of the annular groove 15 by adhesive to enhance the fixing effect on the storage tank 2 and reduce transportation vibration. Multiple casters 14 are evenly spaced at the bottom of the bottom support frame 11 for flexible adjustment of the movement direction.
[0020] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5As shown, the lower part of the storage tank 2 is nested in the annular groove 15, and is fixedly connected to the annular groove 15 by a tight fit of the annular buffer pad. The top of the storage tank 2 is provided with a cover 21, and the side wall is provided with a feed pipe 22 and a discharge pipe 23. The feed pipe 22 extends to the outside of the storage tank 2 and is connected to an inverted conical feed hopper 24. The conical design of the inverted conical feed hopper 24 can guide the material to flow quickly into the interior of the storage tank 2 and avoid material residue. The side wall of the annular groove 15 is provided with a rectangular notch 17, and the discharge pipe 23 extends to the outside of the annular groove 15 through the rectangular notch 17 to facilitate material discharge. The feed pipe 22 and the discharge pipe 23 are respectively equipped with a feed valve 25 and a discharge valve 26. Both the feed valve 25 and the discharge valve 26 are manual ball valves, which are easy to operate and have good sealing performance.
[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, the flexible fixing mechanism 3 includes an adjustable tension strap 31 and a self-locking hook assembly 32. The adjustable tension strap 31 is arranged around the outer wall of the liquid storage tank 2, and its two ends are connected to the handrail 13 through the self-locking hook assembly 32. The adjustable tension strap 31 is made of elastic nylon braided strap, and its inner side is provided with an anti-slip silicone layer. The anti-slip silicone layer is combined with the inner side of the adjustable tension strap 31 through a hot pressing process to enhance the friction with the outer wall of the liquid storage tank 2 and prevent slippage. The self-locking hook assembly 32 is used to adjust the tightness of the adjustable tension strap 31 to ensure that the liquid storage tank 2 remains stable during transportation.
[0022] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the stirring mechanism 4 is installed on the cover 21 and extends into the liquid storage tank 2 to stir the liquid in the tank. The stirring mechanism 4 includes a motor 41, a rotating shaft 42, a stirring paddle 43, stirring blades 44, and a spiral stirring blade 45. The motor 41 is installed at the top of the cover 21. The rotating shaft 42 is rotatably installed on the cover 21 through bearings. The output end of the rotating shaft 42 and the motor 41 are connected by a coupling. The stirring paddle 43 is welded to the bottom of the rotating shaft 42 to fully stir the liquid at the bottom of the tank. The stirring blades 44 are welded at equal intervals on the rotating shaft 42 and distributed along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 42. The spiral stirring blades 45 are welded alternately on the rotating shaft 42, forming a multi-stage stirring structure with the stirring blades 44 to improve the fluidity and mixing uniformity of the liquid.
[0023] In practical use, the operator injects the polycarboxylate superplasticizer into the storage tank 2 through the inverted conical feed hopper 24, and opens the feed valve 25 to control the material flow. The storage tank 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom support frame 11 through the annular groove 15. At the same time, the adjustable tension strap 31 in the flexible fixing mechanism 3 further enhances the fixing effect. When it is necessary to move the device, the operator pushes the device through the handrail 13. The casters 14 and the support wheels 12 work together to make the device move smoothly. During the long-term static process, the motor 41 is started to drive the rotating shaft 42 to rotate. The stirring paddle 43, stirring blade 44 and spiral stirring blade 45 on the rotating shaft 42 work together to fully mix the upper and lower layers of liquid in the storage tank 2, reducing the occurrence of sedimentation and stratification. When discharging, the discharge valve 26 is opened and the liquid is discharged from the device through the discharge pipe 23. The above-described structure ensures the stability of the storage tank 2 during transportation, preventing the risks of shaking and tilting. Simultaneously, the stirring mechanism 4 effectively addresses sedimentation and stratification issues caused by prolonged standing, guaranteeing product uniformity and performance stability. The introduction of annular buffer pads and anti-slip silicone layers enhances the device's shock resistance and reliability, adapting to the needs of various complex transportation environments.
[0024] Work process:
[0025] First, during the installation of the storage tank 2, the operator nests the lower part of the storage tank 2 into the annular groove 15. The annular buffer pad is fixed to the inner wall of the annular groove 15 by adhesive bonding, which can effectively absorb the vibration and impact during transportation and protect the storage tank 2 from damage. After the storage tank 2 is embedded in the annular groove 15, the annular buffer pad fits tightly against the outer wall of the storage tank 2, forming an initial fixed connection. Subsequently, the operator uses the flexible fixing mechanism 3 to further enhance the fixing effect of the storage tank 2. As a result, the adjustable tension strap 31 is installed around the outer wall of the liquid storage tank 2, and both ends are connected to the handrail 13 through the self-locking hook assembly 32. During this process, the operator can adjust the tightness of the adjustable tension strap 31 through the self-locking hook assembly 32 to ensure that the liquid storage tank 2 remains stable during transportation. The anti-slip silicone layer on the inner side of the adjustable tension strap 31 is combined with the nylon braided strap through a hot pressing process, which enhances the friction with the outer wall of the liquid storage tank 2 and effectively prevents the liquid storage tank 2 from shifting due to shaking during transportation.
[0026] During the feeding stage, the operator pours the polycarboxylate superplasticizer into the inverted conical feed hopper 24. Its conical design guides the material to flow quickly into the storage tank 2, reducing material residue. At this time, the operator opens the feed valve 25 to control the material flow rate. After feeding is completed, the feed valve 25 is closed to ensure the sealing of the storage tank 2. During the long-term standing process, the motor 41 is started to drive the rotating shaft 42 to rotate. The stirring paddle 43 mainly stirs the liquid at the bottom of the tank to prevent sedimentation. The stirring blade 44 improves the vertical flow of the liquid through radial distribution, while the spiral stirring blade 45 promotes the axial flow of the liquid through its spiral structure. The three work together to form a complex flow field distribution, which fully mixes the upper and lower layers of liquid in the storage tank 2, thereby reducing sedimentation and stratification.
[0027] When the device needs to be moved, the operator pushes the device through the handrail 13. The casters 14 and support wheels 12 work together to move the device smoothly. The rectangular frame structure of the bottom support frame 11 provides stable support for the entire device. The design of the annular groove 15 and the annular buffer pad further enhances the fixing effect of the liquid storage tank 2. During the movement, the adjustable tension strap 31 and the self-locking hook assembly 32 in the flexible fixing mechanism 3 work together to ensure that the liquid storage tank 2 will not be displaced due to shaking or tilting.
[0028] During the discharge stage, the operator opens the discharge valve 26, and the liquid in the storage tank 2 is discharged through the discharge pipe 23. The discharge pipe 23 extends to the outside through the rectangular notch 17 on the side wall of the annular groove 15 to facilitate material discharge. The discharge valve 26 also adopts a manual ball valve design, which is easy to operate and has good sealing performance. After the discharge is completed, the discharge valve 26 is closed to ensure the sealing of the storage tank 2.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
