Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an unfolding blade. Background Technology
[0002] Deployable blades are a special blade design characterized by the ability to expand or contract the blades, thereby changing their length, area, or shape. When used in containers with small inlets, contracted blades can easily enter and then expand within the container to perform stirring.
[0003] When used in highly corrosive liquids or environments that may wear down the blades, individual blades may wear down or even be damaged after prolonged use. Disassembling and replacing the entire blade assembly would increase operating costs and waste resources.
[0004] We now need deployable blades that allow for individual blade replacement. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an expandable blade that allows for quick and efficient blade replacement.
[0006] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this utility model is as follows: This utility model has a mounting ring; multiple mounting seats are fixedly arranged circumferentially with the center of the mounting ring as the origin on the outer wall of the mounting ring; a connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the mounting seat; one end of the connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the mounting seat; and a stirring blade is detachably fixed to the other end of the connecting rod; a slot is provided on the end of the connecting rod where the stirring blade is detachably fixed, allowing the stirring blade to be inserted to form a plug-in fit; the slot wall has at least one sliding groove communicating with the outside; a limiting groove is provided on the wall of the sliding groove, concentrically arranged with the sliding groove; a return spring is provided in the limiting groove; and one end of the return spring is fixedly mounted on the limiting groove. On the side of the groove facing outward, the other end of the return spring extends toward the side of the limiting groove facing the slot. A limiting rod is slidably provided in the sliding groove, passing through the middle of the return spring. The limiting rod has a limiting end extending toward the slot and a control end extending outward. A pulling block is fixedly provided on the control end of the limiting rod. A limiting plate is fixedly provided in the middle of the limiting rod, which can act on the end of the return spring extending toward the side of the limiting groove facing the slot. The stirring blade is provided with a limiting hole that can be inserted into the limiting rod. The stirring blade is detachably mounted on the connecting rod through the insertion into the slot, the elastic force of the return spring on the limiting plate, and the insertion into the limiting rod and the limiting hole.
[0007] Furthermore, the mounting base has mounting plates and mounting rods. Two mounting plates are symmetrically fixed on the mounting ring. Each mounting plate has a through hole for the mounting rod to pass through, and the through holes on the two mounting plates are opposite each other. Both ends of the mounting rod are located within the through holes of the two mounting plates and extend out of their respective through holes. One end of the mounting rod is fixedly fitted with a baffle acting on the mounting plate, and the other end of the mounting rod is detachably fitted with an elastic retaining ring acting on the mounting plate. The mounting rod is detachably fixed between the two mounting plates by the elastic retaining ring and the baffle. A rotating sleeve is fixedly fitted onto the mounting rod at one end of the connecting rod, forming a rotatable engagement with the mounting rod. The connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the mounting base through the rotatable engagement of the rotating sleeve and the mounting rod.
[0008] Furthermore, a limiting baffle is provided. The limiting baffle is fixed between two symmetrically arranged mounting plates. The connecting rods on each mounting base hang downwards towards the lower end of the mounting plate under the action of gravity. The two ends of the limiting baffle are respectively fixed at the upper ends of the two mounting plates. The limiting baffle can contact the connecting rod and form a limiting fit with the connecting rod. The connecting rod is rotated and limited by the limiting action of the limiting baffle.
[0009] Furthermore, multiple sliding grooves are provided, which extend along the extension direction of the connecting rod. Each groove is provided with the aforementioned limiting groove, limiting rod, return spring, and limiting plate. Each limiting rod is provided with the aforementioned pulling block, and the pulling blocks of two adjacent limiting rods are fixedly connected to each other.
[0010] Furthermore, the slot is rectangular, with its short side connected to the outside. The stirring blade has a plug-in end that engages with the slot and an extension end that extends away from the slot. The plug-in end of the stirring blade is provided with a positioning groove for engaging with the slot and for guiding the engagement. The limiting hole is located in the positioning groove, and the limiting hole corresponds to the sliding groove after the plug-in end of the stirring blade engages with the slot.
[0011] Furthermore, the insertion end of the stirring blade is a wide end, the extension end of the stirring blade is a narrow end, and the cross-section of the stirring blade is twisted.
[0012] The present invention has the following positive effects: (1) The stirring blade of the present invention is provided with a limiting hole that can be inserted into the limiting rod. The stirring blade can be detachably installed on the connecting rod by inserting into the slot, the elastic force of the return spring on the limiting plate, and the insertion of the limiting rod into the limiting hole. The insertion of the stirring blade into the slot and the pushing of the limiting plate on the return spring cause the limiting rod to disengage from the limiting hole, thus quickly disassembling the stirring blade. The insertion of the stirring blade into the slot and the pushing of the return spring on the limiting plate cause the limiting rod to form an insertion into the limiting hole, thus quickly installing the stirring blade. This is efficient and fast, and the stirring blade can be replaced after it is damaged.
[0013] (2) The connecting rod of this utility model is rotatably mounted on one end of the mounting base and is fixedly provided with a rotating sleeve that can be sleeved on the mounting rod and forms a rotatable fit with the mounting rod. The connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the mounting base through the rotatable fit between the rotating sleeve and the mounting rod. The rotation of the rotating sleeve makes the connecting rod more stable when rotating. At the same time, the mounting rod can be disassembled from the mounting plate by removing the elastic retaining ring, so as to disassemble, replace and repair the connecting rod and the rotating sleeve.
[0014] (3) The present invention is also provided with a limiting baffle. The limiting baffle is fixed between two symmetrically arranged mounting plates. The connecting rods on each mounting base fall downwards towards the lower end of the mounting plate under the action of gravity. The two ends of the limiting baffle are respectively fixed at the upper ends of the two mounting plates. The limiting baffle can contact the connecting rod and form a limiting fit with the connecting rod. The connecting rod is rotated by the limiting effect of the limiting baffle. The limiting baffle can be placed after the connecting rod is unfolded by centrifugal force to form over-rotation, which is convenient for stirring.
[0015] (4) The insertion end of the stirring blade of this utility model is a wide end, the extension end of the stirring blade is a narrow end, and the cross-section of the stirring blade is twisted.

[0026] A limiting baffle 8 is also provided. The limiting baffle 8 is fixedly provided between two symmetrically arranged mounting plates 21. The connecting rods 3 on each mounting base 2 fall downwards towards the lower end of the mounting plate 21 under the action of gravity.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The installation ring 1 is mounted on the drive rod of the external drive device. When the stirring blade 4 needs to be replaced, the pulling block 71 on the limiting rod 7 is pulled. The pulling block 71 causes the limiting plate 72 on the limiting rod 7 to compress the return spring 6. The limiting rod 7 is pulled by the pulling rod and slides within the sliding groove 51. During the sliding process, the limiting rod 7 disengages from the insertion fit with the limiting hole 41. At this time, the stirring blade 4 can be removed from the slot 5 for replacement. When installing the stirring... When the blade 4 is in position, pull the pull block 71 on the limit rod 7. The pull block 71 drives the limit plate 72 on the limit rod 7 to squeeze the return spring 6. The limit rod 7 is pulled by the pull rod and slides in the sliding groove 51. Insert the new stirring blade 4 into the slot 5. Release the pull on the pull block 71. The return spring 6 drives the limit plate 72 to slide the limit rod 7 toward the inside of the slot 5. The limit rod 7 and the limit hole 41 in the positioning groove 42 form a plug-in fit, so that the new stirring blade 4 can be installed.
[0033] When the rotating sleeve 31 is obstructed from rotation, remove the elastic retaining ring 222 on the mounting rod 22, and remove the mounting rod 22 from the mounting plate 21 by cooperating with the through hole. At this time, the rotating sleeve 31 can be removed from the mounting plate 21.
