[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] Combination Figures 1-3 A cat bar mixing machine includes a mixing tank 1, with a feed inlet 2 located at the center of the top of the mixing tank 1. A mixing motor 4 is mounted on the top of the mixing tank 1 via a mounting plate 3. The drive shaft of the mixing motor 4 passes through the mounting plate 3 and is fixedly connected to a mixing rod 5. A connecting rod 8 is fixedly mounted at the bottom of the mixing rod 5.
[0025] See Figure 2 and Figure 3Furthermore, it is found that the outer ring of the mixing rod 5 is fixedly connected to a spiral pusher plate 6, the outer ring of the spiral pusher plate 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, the outer ring of the connecting rod 8 is fixedly connected to a spiral pusher plate 9, the bottom end of the mixing tank 11 is fixedly connected to a mixing tank 10, the spiral pusher plate 9 is located inside the mixing tank 10, and the outer ring of the spiral pusher plate 9 is in contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank 10. Circulation boxes 12 are fixedly connected at the center of both the front and rear ends of the mixing tank 1, and circulation pipes 13 are connected to the bottom ends of the circulation boxes 12. 3. The end away from the circulation box 12 is connected to the mixing tank 10. The circulation pipe 13 is a hollow rigid pipe. A return port is provided at the connection between the circulation box 12 and the mixing tank 1. A discharge port is provided at the top of the circulation box 12. Several stirring rods 7 are fixedly connected to the outer ring of the mixing rod 5. A bearing is provided at the connection between the drive shaft of the mixing motor 4 and the mounting plate 3. The drive shaft of the electric telescopic rod 14 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 3 through the bearing. The center points of the mixing rod 5, the connecting rod 8, the mixing tank 1, and the mixing motor 4 are on the same vertical line.
[0026] Specifically, as needed, various raw materials can be sequentially fed into mixing tank 1 through inlet 2 and circulation box 12. Then, by starting mixing motor 4, the spiral pusher 9, stirring rod 7, and spiral pusher 6 can be driven to rotate inside mixing tank 1 and mixing tank 2 10. The rotation of spiral pusher 9 can drive the raw materials entering through circulation box 12 to be conveyed upward to the middle of mixing tank 1. As spiral pusher 6 continues to rotate inside mixing tank 1, the raw materials entering mixing tank 1 can be mixed and stirred. At the same time, spiral pusher 6 adheres to the inner wall of mixing tank 1, which can convey most of the raw materials adhering to the inner wall of mixing tank 1 to circulation box 12, and then enter the middle of mixing tank 1 again through circulation pipe 13 to complete the circulation stirring effect, prevent the raw materials accumulating in the middle of mixing tank 1 from being insufficiently mixed, and improve the mixing effect.
[0027] Example 2
[0028] See Figure 3 Furthermore, based on Example 1, several stirring rods 7 are staggered and distributed on the outer ring of the mixing rod 5, and the stirring rods 7 do not contact the spiral pusher plate 6. A cover plate 15 that is compatible with the feed inlet 2 is slidably installed on the upper part of the outer ring of the mixing rod 5. An electric telescopic rod 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the mounting plate 3, and the push rod end of the electric telescopic rod 14 is connected to the cover plate 15. A discharge valve 11 is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank 10, and the spiral pusher plate 9 does not contact the discharge valve 11.
[0029] Specifically, by controlling the extension and retraction of the push rod of the electric telescopic rod 14, the cover plate 15 can be controlled to block the feed port 2 to facilitate feeding. The continuous rotation of the stirring rod 7 can stir the raw materials in the mixing tank 1. After the stirring and mixing are completed, the discharge valve 11 can be opened. Then, by intermittently controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the drive shaft of the mixing motor 4, the spiral push plate 6 and the spiral push plate 9 can be driven to rotate forward and reverse to discharge the raw materials that have entered the mixing tank 1 and the mixing tank 2 10. Non-static discharge can reduce the probability of raw materials clogging at the discharge port. At the same time, the spiral push plate 9 and the spiral push plate 6 rotate in contact with the mixing tank 1 and the mixing tank 2 10 to scrape off the raw materials that may adhere to the mixing tank 1 and the mixing tank 2 10, thereby improving the discharge effect.
[0030] In actual operation, multiple raw materials can be fed into the mixing tank 1 from the feed inlet 2 and the circulation box 12 as needed. Then, by starting the mixing motor 4, the spiral pusher 9, the stirring rod 7 and the spiral pusher 6 can be driven to rotate inside the mixing tank 1 and the mixing tank 2 10. The rotation of the spiral pusher 9 can drive the raw materials entering from the circulation box 12 to be conveyed upward to the middle of the mixing tank 1. The spiral pusher 6 continues to rotate inside the mixing tank 1.
[0031] The raw materials entering the mixing tank 1 can be mixed and stirred. At the same time, the spiral pusher plate 6 is attached to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, which can transport most of the raw materials attached to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 to the circulation box 12, and then enter the middle of the mixing tank 1 again through the circulation pipe 13 to complete the circulation stirring function, prevent the raw materials that accumulate in the middle of the mixing tank 1 from being insufficiently mixed, and improve the mixing effect.
[0032] By continuously rotating the stirring rod 7, the raw materials in the mixing tank 1 can be stirred. After the stirring and mixing is completed, the discharge valve 11 can be opened. Then, by intermittently controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the mixing motor 4 drive shaft, the spiral push plate 6 and the spiral push plate 9 can be driven to rotate forward and reverse so as to discharge the raw materials that have entered the mixing tank 1 and the mixing tank 2 10.
[0033] Non-static discharge can reduce the probability of raw materials clogging at the discharge port. At the same time, the spiral pusher plate 29 and the spiral pusher plate 16 are attached to each other and rotate inside the mixing tank 11 and the mixing tank 20 to scrape off the raw materials that may adhere to the mixing tank 11 and the mixing tank 20, thereby improving the discharge effect.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
