[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixing tank technology, and more specifically, to an automatic brine mixing tank. Background Technology

[0002] In many industries such as food processing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, the preparation of brine is a crucial production step. In the food industry, brine is widely used in the processing of cured meats, bean products, and other foods, and its composition and ratio directly determine the flavor, taste, and shelf life of the products. In the chemical industry, brine serves as a reaction medium or raw material, and its precise preparation affects the progress of chemical reactions and the quality of products. In the pharmaceutical industry, brine with specific components and concentrations plays an indispensable role in drug synthesis, purification, and other processes.

[0003] In existing technologies, during the preparation of brine, a stirring structure is needed to agitate the brine in the tank to improve the mixing effect and uniformity of the raw materials. However, common stirring mechanisms only use a single stirring shaft with multiple outer stirring blades to agitate the brine, resulting in a relatively simple function and poor mixing effect. How to invent an automatic brine mixing tank to solve these problems has become an urgent issue for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic brine mixing tank, which aims to solve the problem that common stirring mechanisms only use a single stirring shaft in conjunction with multiple stirring blades on the outside to stir the brine, resulting in a relatively simple function and poor mixing effect.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] This utility model provides an automatic brine mixing tank, including a tank body and a stirring shaft and an internal gear ring disposed on the inner wall of the tank body. The upper inner wall of the tank body is provided with multiple feeding pipes, and a feeding valve is installed on the outer side of the feeding pipes. The bottom inner wall of the tank body is provided with a discharge pipe, and a flow meter is installed at the upper end of the feeding pipes. The bottom of the tank body is provided with multiple support legs, and a motor is installed at the upper end of the tank body.

[0007] The stirring shaft is installed on the inner wall of the tank, and multiple fixing rings are installed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft. Multiple first stirring blades are installed on the outer wall of the fixing rings. An external toothed ring is provided on the outer wall of the stirring shaft, and a gear is installed on one side of the external toothed ring.

[0008] The internal gear ring is installed on the inner wall of the tank. Multiple mounting rings are installed below the internal gear ring. Multiple second stirring blades are installed on the inner side wall of the mounting rings. Multiple connecting rods are installed between the internal gear ring and the multiple mounting rings.

[0009] Preferably, the outer walls of the feed pipe and the discharge pipe are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank, and the flow meter is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tank near the feed pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the outer wall of the stirring shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the tank, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the stirring shaft, the inner wall of the fixing ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft, one end of the plurality of first stirring blades is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing ring, and the first stirring blades are inclined.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the external gear ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft, the external gear ring is meshed with a gear, and one end of the gear shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the tank.

[0012] Preferably, the gear and the internal gear ring are meshed, the outer wall of the internal gear ring is fixedly connected to a limiting ring that is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the tank, and the outer wall of the mounting ring is fixedly connected to a positioning ring that is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the tank.

[0013] Preferably, the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower end of the internal gear ring and the inner wall of the plurality of mounting rings respectively, one end of the second stirring blade is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the mounting ring, and the tilting direction of the second stirring blade is opposite to the tilting direction of the first stirring blade.

[0014] Preferably, multiple scrapers are fixedly connected between the multiple mounting rings, and the blades of the scrapers face the inner wall of the tank.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] The two opposing first and second stirring blades create a bidirectional speed difference, generating strong shear force in the area between them. This shear force breaks down larger aggregates or droplets into smaller particles or droplets, resulting in more uniform dispersion of the raw materials in the brine and improving the overall mixing effect. Simultaneously, the presence of the second stirring blade alters the fluid flow path and velocity distribution, enhancing the dispersion of raw materials in the brine and reducing localized concentration inconsistencies. Furthermore, a rotating scraper removes raw materials adhering to the inner wall of the tank during stirring, preventing accumulation and maintaining cleanliness. This avoids material waste and helps ensure accurate brine preparation, preventing residue on the tank walls from affecting the proportions for subsequent batches. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] Example: Referring to Figures 1-6, an automatic brine mixing tank includes a tank body 1 and a stirring shaft 2 and an internal gear ring 4 disposed on the inner wall of the tank body 1. The upper inner wall of the tank body 1 is provided with multiple feeding pipes 11, and a feeding valve 13 is installed on the outer side of the feeding pipes 11. The bottom inner wall of the tank body 1 is provided with a discharging pipe 12, and a flow meter 14 is installed at the upper end of the feeding pipes 11. Multiple support legs 15 are installed at the bottom of the tank body 1, and a motor 16 is installed at the upper end of the tank body 1.

[0027] The stirring shaft 2 is installed on the inner wall of the tank 1. Multiple fixing rings 21 are installed on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 2. Multiple first stirring blades 22 are installed on the outer wall of the fixing rings 21. An external toothed ring 23 is provided on the outer wall of the stirring shaft 2. A gear 3 is installed on one side of the external toothed ring 23.

[0028] An internal gear ring 4 is installed on the inner wall of the tank body 1. Multiple mounting rings 5 ​​are installed below the internal gear ring 4. Multiple second stirring blades 52 are installed on the inner side wall of the mounting rings 5. Multiple connecting rods 6 are installed between the internal gear ring 4 and the multiple mounting rings 5.

[0029] Furthermore; the outer walls of the feed pipe 11 and the discharge pipe 12 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the tank 1; the flow meter 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the tank 1 near the feed pipe 11; the outer wall of the stirring shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the tank 1; the output end of the motor 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the stirring shaft 2; the inner wall of the fixing ring 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 2; one end of a plurality of first stirring blades 22 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixing ring 21; the first stirring blades 22 are inclined; the inner wall of the external toothed ring 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 2; the external toothed ring... Gear 23 meshes with gear 3. One end of gear 3 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of tank 1. Gear 3 meshes with internal gear ring 4. The outer wall of internal gear ring 4 is fixedly connected to a limiting ring 41 that is rotatably connected to the inner wall of tank 1. The outer wall of mounting ring 5 is fixedly connected to a positioning ring 51 that is rotatably connected to the inner wall of tank 1. Connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of internal gear ring 4 and the inner walls of multiple mounting rings 5 ​​respectively. One end of second stirring blade 52 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of mounting ring 5. The tilting direction of second stirring blade 52 is opposite to the tilting direction of first stirring blade 22.

[0030] It should be noted that: multiple feed pipes 11 are connected to external raw material pipelines, and the feed weight of the raw material is calculated by the flow meter 14. This, combined with the feed valve 13, controls the feed weight of the raw material to achieve automatic mixing. During the mixing of the raw material and water in the tank 1, the motor 16 drives the stirring shaft 2 to rotate. As the stirring shaft 2 rotates, it controls the rotation of multiple first stirring blades 22 at different heights on its outer side to achieve mixing of the raw material. Simultaneously, the outer gear ring 23 of the stirring shaft 2 meshes with the gear 3 to rotate, and the gear 3 meshes with the inner gear ring 4 to rotate, thereby achieving reverse rotation between the inner gear ring 4 and the stirring shaft 2. The inner gear ring 4 is connected via a connecting... The connecting rod 6 drives the multiple mounting rings 5 ​​below and the second stirring blades 52 on their inner side to rotate, thereby achieving the opposite rotation of the first stirring blade 22. The first stirring blade 22 and the outer second stirring blade 52 rotate in opposite directions, thus forming a bidirectional speed difference. Strong shearing force is generated in the area between the two. This shearing force can break larger raw material agglomerates or droplets into smaller particles or droplets, making the raw materials more evenly dispersed in the brine, thereby improving the overall mixing effect. At the same time, the presence of the second stirring blade 52 changes the flow path and velocity distribution of the fluid, improving the dispersion effect of the raw materials in the brine and reducing the phenomenon of uneven local concentration.

[0031] Furthermore, multiple scrapers 7 are fixedly connected between multiple mounting rings 5, with the blades of the scrapers 7 facing the inner wall of the tank body 1.

[0032] It should be noted that the multiple scrapers 7 set between the mounting rings 5 ​​have their blades in close contact with the inner wall of the tank 1. As the mounting rings 5 ​​rotate, the scrapers 7 rotate simultaneously and scrape off the raw materials adhering to the inner wall of the tank 1, preventing the adhering raw materials from accumulating, keeping the inner wall of the tank 1 clean, avoiding waste of raw materials, and also helping to ensure the accuracy of brine preparation, preventing the proportion of raw materials remaining on the tank wall from affecting the next preparation.

[0033] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of the motor need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device. The specific selection and calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
