[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. For example... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the turbulence-disrupting combined sight glass of this utility model includes a sight glass assembly component 1, a turbulence-disrupting component 2, and a cleaning mechanism 3.

[0021] The cylinder head is provided with a sight glass mounting hole 4. The mounting hole is cylindrical. The entire spoiler assembly sight glass can be inserted into the sight glass mounting hole 4. Then, the spoiler assembly sight glass and the edge of the mounting hole are clamped by the clamp 41, thereby realizing modular quick installation, convenient replacement and cleaning. The spoiler component 2 is detachably connected to the bottom of the sight glass assembly component 1.

[0022] The sight glass assembly 1 includes an annular end cap 11, an annular pressure cap 12, a sight glass 13 clamped between the end cap 11 and the pressure cap 12, and a sealing gasket 14 surrounding the outer ring of the sight glass 13. A ring-shaped supplementary light 15 is installed on the upper surface of the sight glass 13, and the ring-shaped supplementary light 15 also has a switch. The sealing gasket 14 is made of chemically resistant and high-temperature resistant silicone or Teflon material to ensure good sealing performance and prevent material leakage. The ring-shaped supplementary light 15 can be plugged into an external power source to provide stable light, illuminate the inside of the equipment, and improve the clarity of observation. The pressure cap 12 is pressed onto the sight glass 13 and the sealing gasket 14. The bolts are tightened to the specified tightening torque using a torque wrench to ensure a tight connection with the end cap 11.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the spoiler component 2 includes a spoiler plate 21 connected to the bottom surface of the end cover 11. The spoiler plate 21 is fixedly welded to the end cover 11 by a reinforcing rib 22.

[0024] The baffle 21 optimizes material flow, making the materials in the equipment more uniformly mixed and improving reaction efficiency or stirring effect. The shape of the baffle 21 can be arc-shaped, wavy, etc., to better guide the material flow. In this embodiment, the baffle 21 is a straight plate. Multiple baffle holes 24 are evenly distributed on the baffle 21.

[0025] The reinforcing rib 22 enhances the mechanical strength of the spoiler 21 and extends the service life of the device. The reinforcing rib 22 is welded to the spoiler 21, and the welding method can be argon arc welding, laser welding, etc., to ensure welding quality.

[0026] A through hole 23 is provided at the upper end of the spoiler 21 corresponding to the sight glass 13. The through hole 23 can be semi-circular or rectangular, or it can be designed as an ellipse, polygon, or other flow guiding shape according to actual needs. The material flow is guided through the through hole 23, reducing direct impact and adhesion to the sight glass 13 and keeping the sight glass 13 clean.

[0027] The cleaning mechanism 3 is designed to clean the sight glass 13, aiming to prevent the sight glass 13 from being contaminated by materials during observation, thus obstructing vision. The cleaning mechanism 3 includes a cleaning handle 31 penetrating the center of the sight glass 13 and a cleaning scraper 32 located inside the mixing tank and closely attached to the sight glass 13. The cleaning scraper 32 is made of flexible and wear-resistant silicone material, and its edge is in close contact with the surface of the sight glass 13. An eccentric wheel structure is provided at the connecting shaft between the cleaning handle 31 and the cleaning scraper 32. When the cleaning handle 31 is rotated, the cleaning scraper 32 is driven to rotate and slightly reciprocate along the glass surface, improving the removal effect of residual materials in corners and achieving continuous cleaning of the surface of the sight glass 13.

[0028] The inner wall of the cylindrical sight glass mounting hole 4 has a positioning boss that engages with the groove at the bottom of the sight glass end cap 11 to achieve radial positioning and prevent misalignment during installation. A quick-release hose clamp 41 ensures uniform clamping force. A sealing ring is fitted over the sight glass assembly 1. The clamp 41 is placed on the overlapping edge of the sight glass assembly 1 and the sight glass mounting hole 4, and the clamp bolts are manually pre-tightened until secure. A torque wrench is used to tighten the bolts to the specified torque to ensure complete compression of the sealing gasket, achieving integrated sealing and fixation. Disassembly only requires loosening the clamp to remove the entire sight glass without the need for additional tools to disassemble internal components. The spoiler component 2 and the sight glass assembly 1 also feature a detachable connection design, allowing for individual replacement of worn spoiler 21 or cleaning scraper 32, reducing maintenance costs.
