Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mixers, and more particularly to a mixer that is easy to observe. Background Technology

[0002] In the development of laundry detergent pods, bleach, alkaline additives, and chelating agents need to undergo a chelation reaction. The chelation reaction needs to be carried out in a mixer, which can fully mix the reactants and promote the reaction.

[0003] Currently, Chinese utility model patent CN220861249U discloses a mixer with an anti-adhesion inner wall, including a mixing tank, a cover, a feeding port, and a discharge port. The cover is located above the mixing tank, and the feeding port is installed on the top of the cover for adding materials into the mixing tank. The discharge port is located at the bottom of the mixing tank. A fixing plate is fixed to the bottom of the mixing tank, and a mounting shaft is rotatably mounted below the fixing plate. A conveying auger is fixed to the surface of the mounting shaft. The conveying auger is located inside the discharge port and carries the material out of the discharge port when rotating. This application has the effect of reducing material adhesion to the inner wall.

[0004] Bleach is a liquid, and the mixer needs to be covered during stirring to reduce splashing. Chelation reaction refers to a chemical reaction in which a polydentate ligand with two or more coordinating atoms forms a chelate ring with the same metal ion. In this process, the chelating agent binds to the metal ion through coordination bonds to form a stable chelate. This process causes the metal ion to exhibit different colors in the solution, resulting in color changes. However, the cover prevents operators from judging whether the mixing is complete based on the color of the material inside the mixer, requiring multiple stops and openings of the cover for observation. This makes it impossible to accurately assess the degree of reaction during the mixing process. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to observe the chelation reaction in the mixer in a timely manner and thus make an accurate judgment on the degree of reaction of the materials, this application provides a mixer that is easy to observe.

[0006] This application provides a mixer that is easy to observe, and adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A mixer that is easy to observe includes a mixer body, a cover, and an observation tube. The cover is disposed at the opening of the mixer body, and the observation tube is located inside and outside the mixer body. The two ends of the observation tube are respectively connected to the side wall of the mixer body, and the observation tube is a transparent component.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the material to be mixed in the mixer body is added through the opening of the mixer body. The cover is used to reduce the splashing of materials during the mixing process. The two ends of the observation tube are connected to the mixer body, so that the material during the mixing process will enter the observation tube. Since the observation tube is transparent, the operator can observe the chelation reaction in the mixer through the material in the observation tube, which reduces the operator's operation of opening and closing the cover many times and improves the operator's accurate judgment of the reaction degree in the mixer.

[0009] Optionally, the mixer body is provided with a disassembly component to facilitate the removal of the observation tube. The disassembly component includes a first connecting pipe, a sealing gasket, a second connecting pipe, and an abutment. One end of the first connecting pipe is disposed on the side wall of the mixer body and communicates with the side wall of the mixer body. The sealing gasket is disposed on the first connecting pipe. One end of the observation tube is used to insert into the first connecting pipe. One end of the second connecting pipe is disposed on the side wall of the mixer body and communicates with the side wall of the mixer body. The abutment is disposed on the second connecting pipe and is used to connect the other end of the observation tube to the second connecting pipe.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the observation tube needs to be cleaned every time it is used, reducing the possibility of material adhering to the wall inside the observation tube from the previous use. The staff uses the abutment to detach the observation tube from the second connecting tube, after which the observation tube can be smoothly separated from the first connecting tube, making it easy to clean the observation tube. After cleaning, the observation tube can be inserted into the first connecting tube and abutted against the sealing gasket. The sealing gasket plays a sealing role for the observation tube. Then, the second connecting tube is connected to the observation tube through the abutment, so that both ends of the observation tube are connected to the mixer body.

[0011] Optionally, the abutting member includes an abutting tube, a spring, and a mating pad. The abutting tube is slidably connected to the second connecting tube, and the abutting tube is sleeved on one end of the observation tube. The spring is used to keep the abutting tube abutting against the observation tube, and the mating pad is disposed on the abutting tube and is used to abut against the observation tube.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing the observation tube, the staff first overcomes the spring force to move the abutment tube away from the first connecting tube, then inserts one end of the observation tube into the first connecting tube, and then releases the abutment tube. Under the action of the spring, the abutment tube abuts against the other end of the observation tube, and the mating gasket also abuts against the observation tube. The mating gasket improves the sealing between the observation tube and the second connecting tube.

[0013] Optionally, the second connecting pipe is equipped with a light for illuminating the liquid inside the observation tube.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the lighting lamp is used to illuminate the material inside the observation tube, making it easier for staff to judge the color change of the material during the reaction.

[0015] Optionally, the cover includes an end cap and a rotating plate. The end cap is disposed at the opening of the mixer and has a feed inlet for pouring raw materials. The rotating plate is rotatably connected to the end cap and is used to seal the feed inlet.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the feed port of the end cap is used by the operator to add materials into the mixer body, and the rotating plate is used to seal the feed port, thereby reducing the splashing of materials during the mixing process.

[0017] Optionally, the end cap is further provided with a limiting component that restricts the rotating plate from disengaging from the feed inlet. The limiting component includes a limiting rod and a limiting spring. The limiting rod is slidably connected to the end cap. A limiting groove is provided on the rotating plate. The limiting spring is used to keep one end of the limiting rod within the limiting groove.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator needs to add materials into the mixer body, the operator pulls the limiting rod to overcome the elastic force of the limiting spring and moves it away from the limiting groove. Then the operator rotates the rotating plate to expose the feed port of the end cover, and the operator can add materials into the mixer body. After the addition is completed, the limiting groove is aligned with one end of the limiting rod. Under the action of the limiting spring, the limiting rod enters the limiting groove, and the rotating plate cannot rotate.

[0019] Optionally, the limiting rod is provided with a guide slope that facilitates the movement of the limiting rod away from the limiting groove when the rotating plate rotates toward the feed inlet.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the operator needs to rotate the plate to cover the feed inlet of the end cover, when the rotating plate rotates to abut the guide slope, the rotating plate drives the limiting rod to overcome the elastic force of the limiting spring and move away from the limiting groove until the limiting groove is aligned with one end of the limiting rod. At this time, the limiting rod enters the limiting groove under the action of the limiting spring.

[0021] Optionally, the limiting rod is provided with a lever that is easy for workers to move.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the lever is easy for the staff to hold and can drive the limiting rod to overcome the elastic force of the limiting spring and move away from the limiting groove.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The observation tube is located outside the mixer body and connected to the mixer body, so that the staff can observe the color change of the material when the material inside undergoes a chelation reaction;

[0025] 2. The connecting piece is used for disassembling the observation tube. Attached Figure Description
