[0033] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0034] This application discloses a polyester printing paste mixing tank. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, it includes a tank body 1, which is cylindrical and vertically arranged. A feed inlet 11 is provided at the top of the tank body 1, and a discharge pipe 12 is provided at the bottom of the tank body 1. A material hopper 13 is vertically arranged at the top of the tank body 1 and at the feed inlet 11. A material distribution plate 2, which is connected to the material hopper 13, is rotatably installed on the inner top wall of the tank body 1 and at the feed inlet 11. The material distribution plate 2 is conical and coaxial with the tank body 1. A material distribution groove 21 is provided in the material distribution plate 2 and is connected to the material hopper 13. The bottom plate 22 of the material distribution plate 2 at the material distribution groove 21 is conical. Four material distribution ring grooves 23 are provided around the bottom of the material distribution plate 2 and in the circumferential direction of the bottom plate 22. The material distribution ring grooves 23 are connected to the downward side of the material distribution grooves 21. A through discharge hole 221 is provided on the bottom plate 22. The material is fed from the hopper 13 to the distribution plate 2. The material falls from the distribution trough 21 along the conical bottom plate 22 to the distribution ring trough 23 for discharge. The material is discharged synchronously along the discharge hole 221 on the floor, and the material is evenly distributed.

[0035] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a stirring assembly 3 is provided inside the barrel 1. The stirring assembly 3 is connected to the material distribution plate 2. The stirring assembly 3 stirs the material inside the barrel 1. The stirring assembly 3 simultaneously drives the material distribution plate 2 to rotate and distribute the material. The material distribution ring groove 23 on the lower side of the material distribution plate 2 is fed into the barrel 1. The ring feeding and distribution are uniform, reducing material accumulation and improving the mixing efficiency.

[0036] Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the mixing assembly 3 includes a mixing shaft 31 and a mixing motor 32. The mixing shaft 31 is vertically rotatably installed inside the tank body 1 and is coaxially and fixedly connected to the bottom of the distribution plate 2. Mixing blades 33 for mixing are provided on the outer circumferential wall of the mixing shaft 31. The mixing motor 32 is located at the bottom of the tank body 1, and the mixing shaft 31 is connected to the output shaft of the mixing motor 32. The mixing motor 32 drives the mixing shaft 31 to rotate, which in turn drives the mixing blades 33 to disperse the material, simultaneously rotating the distribution plate 2.

[0037] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, a material distribution plate 24 is provided inside the material distribution tray 2. The upper end of the material distribution plate 24 is connected to the bottom of the hopper 13. Four material distribution plates 24 are vertically arranged and evenly distributed along the circumference of the material distribution tray 2, dividing the material distribution trough 21 of the material distribution tray 2 into four equal feeding spaces. After being distributed by the material distribution plates 24, the material falls into the respective feeding spaces of the material distribution tray 2, resulting in uniform distribution.

[0038] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the material distribution partition 24 is distributed along the generatrix of the cone-shaped material distribution disk 2. The downward-facing side of the material distribution partition 24 is in contact with the upward-facing side of the bottom plate 22, and the upward-facing side of the material distribution partition 2 is in contact with the top wall of the material distribution disk 2. When the material distribution disk 2 rotates, the material distribution partition 24 moves relative to the material distribution disk 2, and the material distribution partition 24 distributes and scrapes material from the side wall of the material distribution disk 2, reducing material residue on the material distribution disk 2.

[0039] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, a cleaning rod 25 is provided on the material distribution partition 24. The cleaning rod 25 is distributed along the length of the material distribution partition 24 and located on one side of the bottom plate 22. Brush bristles 26 are provided on the side of the cleaning rod 25 facing the bottom plate 22. The brush bristles 26 are distributed along the length of the cleaning rod 25, and the end of the brush bristles 26 facing away from the cleaning rod 25 is located at the discharge hole 221 of the bottom plate 22. When the material distribution disc 2 rotates, the material distribution disc 2 rotates relative to the cleaning rod 25 on the material distribution partition 24. The cleaning brush on the cleaning rod 25 cleans the discharge hole 221 of the bottom plate 22, reducing the probability of clogging of the discharge hole 221 on the bottom plate 22.

[0040] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, a connecting frame 4 is slidably installed on the material distribution partition 24 along the vertical direction. Cleaning rods 25 are located on opposite sides of the material distribution partition 24. The cleaning rods 25 on both sides are connected to the connecting frame 4. A spring 41 is provided on one side of the connecting frame 4. The lower end of the spring 41 is connected to the material distribution partition 24. The spring 41 pulls the connecting frame 4, thereby causing the cleaning rods 25 to abut against the bottom plate 22.

[0041] Referring to Figures 3 and 4, the connecting frames 4 are connected by annular connecting rings 42. A pull rod 43 is slidably installed on the hopper 13 in the vertical direction, with the downward-facing end of the pull rod 43 connected to the connecting ring 42. Pulling the pull rod 43 adjusts the position of the connecting frame 4 and the distance between the cleaning rod 25 and the base plate 22, facilitating switching between feeding and cleaning modes.

[0042] The implementation principle of the polyester printing paste mixing tank in this application embodiment is as follows: the material is fed into the distribution plate 2 through the material bin 13, the stirring motor 32 drives the stirring shaft 31 to rotate, the stirring shaft 31 drives the stirring blades 33 to disperse the material, and at the same time drives the distribution plate 2 to rotate. The distribution plate 2 drives the material from the distribution trough 21 to fall along the conical bottom plate 22 to the distribution ring groove 23 for discharge, and the material is discharged synchronously along the discharge hole 221 on the floor.

[0043] When the material distribution plate 2 rotates, the material distribution partition 24 moves relative to the material distribution plate 2. The material distribution partition 24 distributes and scrapes the material on the side wall of the material distribution plate 2. At the same time, the cleaning brush on the cleaning rod 25 cleans the discharge hole 221 of the bottom plate 22, reducing the probability of the discharge hole 221 on the bottom plate 22 becoming blocked.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
