Description

A material cylinder support and an ultrasonic pulverizing and dispersing device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ultrasonic equipment technology, and relates to a material cylinder support and an ultrasonic crushing and dispersing device. Background Technology

[0002] In the application of ultrasonic technology, ultrasound is often used to crush and disperse materials, and is widely used in cell disruption or dispersion of nanomaterials. The typical operation involves placing the material to be processed in a barrel, powering a transducer to operate it, and inserting the amplitude transformer on the transducer into the barrel to crush and disperse the material.

[0003] However, during the crushing and dispersing process using ultrasound, the material inside the barrel generates a significant amount of heat due to the energy input. Some materials are highly sensitive to temperature and have upper temperature limits, therefore timely cooling is necessary to avoid affecting their properties.

[0004] To address this, existing designs typically place the feed cylinder inside a larger container and fill it with ice to cool the cylinder. However, this approach not only complicates the overall equipment structure but also increases operational difficulty and inconvenience due to the ongoing need for a continuous ice supply.

[0005] Currently, some ultrasonic equipment is designed with a double-layered material cylinder, which is cooled by injecting cooling water into the cylinder jacket, while the material is placed in the inner container. However, this double-layered material cylinder has a complex structure, high manufacturing cost, and a very troublesome loading and unloading process. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology by proposing a material cylinder support and an ultrasonic pulverizing and dispersing device.

[0007] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a material cylinder support, comprising:

[0008] A support base is configured as a hollow closed structure formed by hollow tubing. The hollow portion of the support base is defined as a hollow region. A coolant channel is provided inside the hollow tubing of the support base, and the coolant channel is arranged around the hollow region. A coolant inlet and at least one coolant outlet are provided on the wall of the support base. Both the coolant inlet and the coolant outlet are connected to the coolant channel. The coolant outlet is located on the inner sidewall of the support base facing the hollow region.

[0009] Preferably, the support base is frame-shaped or ring-shaped.

[0010] Preferably, the support base is formed by bending a hollow tube and connecting the ends, or the support base is formed by connecting multiple hollow tubes end to end in sequence.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a plurality of vertical rods, each of which is arranged in parallel, and the support base is installed on the top of each of the vertical rods.

[0012] Preferably, the coolant outlet is configured as a slit-like structure.

[0013] An ultrasonic pulverizing and dispersing device includes the aforementioned material cylinder support and a material cylinder. The outer peripheral wall of the material cylinder is provided with a flange portion that protrudes radially therefrom. The material cylinder is disposed in the hollow area of ​​the support base. The flange portion is fastened to the support base to lock the material cylinder and the support base. The opening of the coolant outlet faces the outer wall surface of the material cylinder.

[0014] Preferably, it also includes a water receiving trough, which is attached to the bottom of the material cylinder.

[0015] Preferably, the device also includes an ultrasonic device, which includes a transducer and an amplitude transformer, the amplitude transformer being connected to the transducer, the transducer being disposed on the material cylinder and sealing the opening of the material cylinder, and the amplitude transformer being inserted into the material cylinder.

[0016] Preferably, it also includes a soundproof box, in which the support base, the material cylinder, and the ultrasonic device are all located.

[0017] Preferably, it also includes a bottom bracket, on which the soundproof box is mounted. A water pump and an ultrasonic power supply are installed inside the bottom bracket. The water pump is connected to a coolant inlet via a pipeline, and the ultrasonic power supply is electrically connected to the transducer.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. The material cylinder can be mounted on the support base. Since the support base is formed by hollow tubing, the coolant channel surrounds the outer perimeter of the material cylinder, and the coolant outlet is directly aligned with the outer wall of the material cylinder. The coolant flowing out of the coolant outlet can be poured onto the outer wall of the material cylinder, thereby cooling the material cylinder during ultrasonic crushing and dispersing operations.

[0020] 2. This barrel support has its own liquid cooling function, which can provide liquid cooling for conventional barrels, eliminating the need for a complex liquid cooling structure for the barrel itself. The support base, as an independent support module, can quickly adapt to and support the barrel, and the assembly and disassembly of the barrel and support base are very convenient. The barrel can be directly placed on the support base without the need for complex piping connections, making operation more flexible and convenient.

[0021] 3. During installation, simply align the barrel with the hollow area of ​​the support base and place it downwards, ensuring that the flange at the top of the barrel rests on the top of the support base. Then, ensure that the coolant outlet is aligned with the outer wall of the barrel to guarantee that the coolant can be sprayed stably onto the barrel surface, achieving an efficient and uniform cooling effect. When it is necessary to remove the barrel, simply lift it vertically from above the support base to easily remove it without disassembling the cooling system or disconnecting the liquid cooling connector.

Detailed Implementation

[0031] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0032] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, a barrel support includes: a support base 100, which is configured as a hollow closed structure formed by a hollow tube. The hollow part of the support base 100 is configured as a hollow region 110. A coolant channel 120 is provided inside the hollow tube of the support base 100. The coolant channel 120 is arranged around the hollow region 110. A coolant inlet 130 and at least one coolant outlet 140 are provided on the wall of the support base 100. Both the coolant inlet 130 and the coolant outlet 140 are connected to the coolant channel 120. The coolant outlet 140 is located on the inner side wall of the support base 100 facing the hollow region 110.

[0033] Preferably, the support base 100 is frame-shaped or annular, both of which are closed structures. Regardless of whether the support base 100 is designed as frame-shaped or annular, this shape results in a hollow region 110 within the support base 100. The hollow region 110 serves as a placement position for the material cylinder 300, accommodating the cylinder 300, with the upper part of the cylinder 300 located within the hollow region 110. Since the support base 100 is constructed of hollow tubing, which contains a coolant channel 120 surrounding the hollow region 110, this means that when the cylinder 300 is placed in the hollow region 110, the coolant channel 120 is located outside the cylinder 300. The coolant inside the coolant channel 120 can flow out through the coolant outlet 140 and be poured onto the outer wall of the cylinder 300.

[0034] The working principle of this barrel support is as follows: the coolant inlet 130 is connected to the water pump through a pipe, and the coolant (such as water, ethylene glycol solution, etc.) can be pumped into the coolant channel 120 through the water pump. The coolant in the coolant channel 120 can be sprayed out through the coolant outlet 140. Since the coolant outlet 140 is aligned with the outer wall of the barrel 300, the coolant can be poured onto the outer wall of the barrel 300, thereby cooling the barrel 300.

[0035] In practical use, the material cylinder 300 is first placed on the support base 100, with the upper part of the material cylinder 300 located within the hollow area 110. The inner wall of the support base 100 is close to the outer wall of the material cylinder 300, thus ensuring the material cylinder 300 is properly installed. Then, during the ultrasonic crushing and dispersion process, coolant is continuously pumped into the coolant channel 120 by a water pump, causing the coolant outlet 140 to continuously spray coolant onto the outer wall of the material cylinder 300. After processing is complete, the material cylinder 300 can be removed from the support base 100.

[0036] In existing designs, cooling is typically achieved using a double-shell barrel. While this double-shell barrel effectively cools the inner cavity, it is cumbersome to assemble and disassemble, requiring connection to a liquid cooling connector. This barrel support, however, has its own liquid cooling function, providing liquid cooling for a standard barrel 300, eliminating the need for a complex liquid cooling structure on the barrel itself. The support base 100, as an independent support module, can quickly adapt to and support the barrel 300. Furthermore, assembling and disassembling the barrel 300 and support base 100 is very convenient; the barrel 300 can be directly mounted on the support base 100 without complex piping connections, making operation more flexible and convenient.

[0037] The barrel 300 can be mounted on the support base 100. Since the support base 100 is formed by a hollow tube, the coolant channel 120 surrounds the barrel 300. This design achieves physical separation between the cooling channel and the barrel 300, simplifying the structure of the barrel 300. The coolant outlet 140 is aligned with the outer wall of the barrel 300, and the coolant flowing out of the coolant outlet 140 can be poured onto the outer wall of the barrel 300, thereby cooling the barrel 300 during ultrasonic crushing and dispersing operations.

[0038] Based on the above embodiments, the support base 100 is formed by bending a hollow tube and connecting the ends, or the support base 100 is formed by connecting multiple hollow tubes end to end in sequence.

[0039] In this example, the support base 100 is configured as a square frame structure formed by welding multiple hollow square tubes.

[0040] Based on the above embodiments, it also includes a plurality of vertical rods 200, each vertical rod 200 being arranged in parallel, and a support base 100 being installed on the top of each vertical rod 200.

[0041] The support base 100 can be fixedly connected to the vertical rod 200 by welding, bolting, or snap-fitting, so that the support base 100 is at a certain height. Furthermore, the support base 100 and each vertical rod 200 form a three-dimensional frame structure, with the support base 100 being the top of this three-dimensional frame structure, and the material cylinder 300 located inside the three-dimensional frame.

[0042] Based on the above embodiment, the coolant outlet 140 is configured as a slit-shaped structure. After the coolant is sprayed out through the slit-shaped coolant outlet 140, it can form a flat liquid flow, allowing the coolant to be sprayed onto the outer wall surface of the barrel 300, covering a larger surface area of ​​the barrel 300.

[0043] As shown in Figures 1 to 8, an ultrasonic pulverizing and dispersing device includes a material cylinder support and a material cylinder 300. The outer peripheral wall of the material cylinder 300 is provided with a flange portion 310 that protrudes radially therefrom. The material cylinder 300 is disposed in the hollow region 110 of the support base 100. The flange portion 310 is fastened to the support base 100 to lock the material cylinder 300 and the support base 100. The opening of the coolant outlet 140 faces the outer wall surface of the material cylinder 300.

[0044] The top of the barrel 300 has a flange-like protrusion 310, which can also be seen as a flanged structure around the top of the barrel 300. The outer diameter of the flange 310 is larger than the distance between the two ends of the hollow region 110, so the flange 310 can hold the support 100, thereby confining the barrel 300 within the hollow region 110. The inner wall of the support 100 faces the outer wall of the barrel 300, so that the coolant outlet 140 is directly opposite the outer wall of the barrel 300. The coolant can be sprayed onto the upper outer wall of the barrel 300 and then slide downwards to cover the outer wall of the barrel 300.

[0045] Since the barrel 300 is fastened to the support base 100 via its top flange 310, there is no rigid connection between them. This non-rigid limiting fit makes the barrel 300 extremely easy to install and remove. During installation, simply align the barrel 300 with the hollow area 110 of the support base 100 and place it downwards, ensuring the flange 310 rests on top of the support base 100. Then, ensure the coolant outlet 140 is aligned with the outer wall of the barrel 300 to guarantee a stable spray of coolant onto the barrel 300 surface, achieving efficient and uniform cooling. When removing the barrel 300, simply lift it vertically from above the support base 100 to easily remove it without disassembling the cooling system or disconnecting the liquid cooling connector.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, an ultrasonic device 500 is also included. The ultrasonic device 500 includes a transducer 510 and an amplitude transformer 520. The amplitude transformer 520 is connected to the transducer 510. The transducer 510 is disposed on the material cylinder 300 and seals the opening of the material cylinder 300. The amplitude transformer 520 is inserted into the material cylinder 300.

[0047] The transducer 510 and the amplitude transformer 520 work together to generate and transmit high-intensity ultrasonic energy to the material inside the barrel 300, achieving efficient pulverization, emulsification, or dispersion. The transducer 510 is a key component that converts electrical energy into mechanical vibration. It is typically made of piezoelectric ceramic material and deforms under the influence of an applied electrical signal, thereby generating high-frequency vibration. The amplitude transformer 520 is connected below the transducer 510, and its main function is to amplify the vibration amplitude generated by the transducer 510 and transmit this high-energy mechanical vibration to the liquid medium inside the barrel 300.

[0048] The cavitation effect, shear force, and shock waves generated by the ultrasonic device 500 can effectively break down large molecular clusters or aggregated particles, making it particularly suitable for the preparation of nanoscale materials and the dispersion of difficult-to-dissolve substances. The cooling function of the barrel support, used in conjunction with the ultrasonic device 500, can promptly remove the heat generated by the cavitation effect, preventing the material inside the barrel 300 from overheating and undergoing denaturation or other adverse changes.

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] As shown in Figures 5 and 7, it also includes a water receiving tank 400, which is attached to the bottom of the material cylinder 300.

[0051] The water receiving tank 400 can be installed below the support base 100 to collect the coolant that drips from the coolant outlet 140 after flowing over the outer wall of the cylinder 300. The collected coolant can be connected to an external cooling system through pipelines for filtration, cooling, and reuse, thereby improving resource utilization and reducing operating costs.

[0052] As shown in Figures 5 to 8, based on the above-described embodiments, a soundproof box 600 is also included, and the support base 100, the material cylinder 300, and the ultrasonic device 500 are all located inside the soundproof box 600.

[0053] The soundproof enclosure 600 is a specially designed integral structure to surround the support base 100, the material cylinder 300, and the ultrasonic device 500. Its purpose is to reduce noise pollution generated during ultrasonic operation and to provide a relatively independent working environment for the entire system. The soundproof enclosure 600 is typically made of materials with good sound absorption properties, such as multi-layer composite panels (including sound-absorbing cotton, sound insulation boards, etc.), to achieve optimal sound insulation.

[0054] The soundproof box 600 has a transparent observation door on the front, which makes it easy for operators to monitor the equipment's operating status in real time, and also facilitates loading and unloading of the material cylinder 300 and routine maintenance.

[0055] Based on the above embodiments, it also includes a bottom bracket 700, a soundproof box 600 mounted on the bottom bracket 700, a water pump and an ultrasonic power supply installed inside the bottom bracket 700, the water pump being connected to the coolant inlet 130 through a pipeline, and the ultrasonic power supply being electrically connected to the transducer 510.

[0056] The bottom support 700 is a robust metal frame or housing that supports the entire soundproof box 600 and its internal components (including the support base 100, the barrel 300, the ultrasonic device 500, etc.) and provides additional space to accommodate auxiliary equipment such as water pumps and ultrasonic power supplies.

[0057] Example 2:

[0058] As shown in Figure 6, in Embodiment 2, the bottom space of the soundproof box 600 is used as a collection container for coolant, enabling effective recovery and reuse of the coolant. Specifically, the soundproof box 600 itself has good sealing properties, so a drain port or connecting pipe interface is provided at the bottom of the soundproof box 600 to guide the collected coolant to an external circulating cooling system for filtration, cooling, and reuse.

[0059] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, compared with Example 1, Example 2 eliminates the need for a separately set water receiving tank 400. However, Example 2 has some drawbacks. Since the bottom of the soundproof box 600 is in contact with the bottom support 700, the coolant flows to the bottom of the soundproof box 600, causing the temperature of the soundproof box 600 and the bottom support 700 to drop, which in turn causes condensation to form on the bottom support 700. Example 1 can reduce or avoid this defect.

[0060] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0061] Furthermore, in this utility model, the use of terms such as "first," "second," and "a" is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0062] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0063] Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other, but only if they are based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0064] The specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative examples illustrating the spirit of this utility model. Those skilled in the art to which this utility model pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to substitute them, without departing from the spirit of this utility model or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
