Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material leveling machine technology, specifically to an automatic material leveling machine that can self-clean. Background Technology
[0002] Mixing machines are mainly used for mixing dry powders or granular materials. The materials are placed in a mixing tank, and through continuous and rapid mixing, the materials can be evenly dispersed. However, existing mixing machines have a very limited range of materials that can be mixed, and require a long period of continuous mixing to achieve uniform material distribution, which is time-consuming and has low mixing efficiency. In addition, mixing machines require manual cleaning when mixing different materials, the degree of automation in cleaning is low, and manual cleaning also has blind spots, making it difficult to quickly clean the mixing machine. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a self-cleaning automatic material leveling machine.

[0006] A secondary material leveling mechanism is provided on the rotating boss. The secondary material leveling mechanism includes multiple secondary material leveling columns. A guide slide is fixed at the top of each secondary material leveling column. A guide groove is opened on each steering arm. The multiple secondary material leveling columns are slidably supported in the guide grooves of the multiple steering arms through their respective guide slides. The guide slides of the multiple secondary material leveling columns are driven to slide back and forth in their respective guide grooves by the secondary drive mechanism.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned uniform material machine, the auxiliary drive mechanism includes a driving gear and multiple driven gears. The driving gear and multiple driven gears are rotatably mounted on the rotating boss. The multiple driven gears are located around the driving gear and mesh with the driving gear. The multiple driven gears are fixedly connected to the connecting ends of multiple steering arms one by one. Multiple positioning posts are evenly distributed circumferentially at the bottom of the rotating boss. Multiple guide slides and multiple positioning posts are respectively connected by multiple transmission rods. The two ends of the transmission rods are rotatably connected to the guide slides and positioning posts respectively.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned uniform material machine, the bottom of the uniform material tank is equipped with a main motor, which drives the drive shaft to rotate.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned uniform material machine, an auxiliary motor is provided on the rotating boss.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned uniform material machine, the rotating boss is provided with a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the dirt inside the uniform material tank.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the above-mentioned material leveling machine, the cleaning mechanism includes a support frame fixed on the rotating boss, a water inlet pipe on the support frame, the inlet end of the water inlet pipe forming a water inlet, the outlet end of the water inlet pipe being connected to multiple flexible hoses, a water spray nozzle on the main material leveling column, and the ends of the multiple flexible hoses being connected one-to-one with the water spray nozzles on the multiple main material leveling columns.
[0012] This invention has the following advantages over the prior art:
[0013] This utility model provides a self-cleaning automatic material leveling machine. Multiple steering arms are mounted on a rotatable rotating boss, with a fixed main leveling column and a sliding secondary leveling column on each steering arm. The rotating boss drives the steering arms to rotate together, causing the main and secondary leveling columns on the steering arms to rotate circumferentially along the boss, thus achieving mixing of materials in the leveling tank. Because of the two layers of leveling columns, and the fact that the secondary leveling column can move back and forth along the guide grooves of the steering arms, the range and effect of material dispersion are further expanded, improving the leveling efficiency. Simultaneously, a cleaning mechanism is included to automatically clean stains inside the leveling tank, ensuring the normal operation of the leveling machine. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. These embodiments are implemented based on the technical solution of this utility model and provide detailed implementation methods and specific operation processes. However, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the following embodiments.
[0022] See Figures 1 to 6 This embodiment discloses a self-cleaning automatic leveling machine, including a device support 1 and a leveling tank 2 mounted on the device support 1. The leveling tank 2 is equipped with a main leveling mechanism, which includes a rotating boss 4 and multiple steering arms 5 arranged circumferentially at intervals on the bottom surface of the rotating boss 4. The bottom of the rotating boss 4 is supported by a vertically extending drive shaft 3, which is rotatably mounted in the leveling tank 2. The inner end of each steering arm 5 is a connecting end, and the outer end is a free end. The connecting end of the steering arm 5 is rotatably mounted on the convex shaft of the rotating boss 4, and the free end of the steering arm 5 extends beyond the edge of the rotating boss 4 and is fixedly connected to a downwardly extending main leveling column 6. A main motor is located at the bottom of the leveling tank 2, which drives the drive shaft 3 to rotate. The drive shaft 3 then drives the rotating boss 4 and the multiple steering arms 5 thereon to rotate together, and the multiple main leveling columns 6 move together with the multiple steering arms 5.
[0023] The rotating boss 4 is equipped with a secondary material leveling mechanism, which includes multiple secondary material leveling columns 9. The top of each secondary material leveling column 9 is fixed with a guide slide 8. Each steering arm 5 has a guide groove 7. The multiple secondary material leveling columns 9 are slidably supported in the guide grooves 7 of the multiple steering arms 5 through their respective guide slides 8. The guide slides 8 of the multiple secondary material leveling columns 9 are driven to slide back and forth in their respective guide grooves 7 by the secondary drive mechanism.
[0024] The auxiliary drive mechanism includes a drive gear 12 and multiple driven gears 13. The drive gear 12 and multiple driven gears 13 are rotatably mounted on the rotating boss 4. The multiple driven gears 13 are located around the drive gear 12 and mesh with it. The multiple driven gears 13 are fixedly connected to the connecting ends of multiple steering arms 5 in a one-to-one correspondence. Multiple positioning posts 10 are evenly distributed circumferentially at the bottom of the rotating boss 4. Multiple guide slides 8 are connected to the multiple positioning posts 10 by multiple transmission rods 11. The two ends of the transmission rods 11 are rotatably connected to the guide slides 8 and the positioning posts 10, respectively. An auxiliary motor is provided on the rotating boss 4. The auxiliary motor drives the drive gear 12 to reciprocate, thereby driving the multiple driven gears 13 to reciprocate, which in turn drives the multiple steering arms 5 to swing back and forth around their respective cam shafts. Under the pulling action of the transmission rods 11, the transmission rods 11 push the guide slides 8 to reciprocate along the guide grooves 7 of the corresponding steering arms 5, thereby driving the auxiliary material leveling posts 9 at the bottom of the guide slides 8 to reciprocate as well.
[0025] The rotating boss 4 is also equipped with a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the inside of the equalization tank 2. The cleaning mechanism includes a support frame 14 fixed on the rotating boss 4. The support frame 14 is equipped with a water inlet pipe. The inlet end of the water inlet pipe forms a water inlet 15. The outlet end of the water inlet pipe is connected to multiple hoses 16. The main equalization column 6 is equipped with a water spray nozzle 17. The ends of the multiple hoses 16 are connected to the water spray nozzles 17 on the multiple main equalization columns 6 one by one.
[0026] During operation, the material is introduced into the uniform material tank 2. The main motor at the bottom of the uniform material tank 2 drives the drive shaft 3 to rotate. The drive shaft 3 drives the rotating boss 4 to rotate synchronously. Multiple steering arms 5 on the rotating boss 4 move together with the rotating boss 4. The main uniform material column 6 and the auxiliary uniform material column 9 installed on the steering arm 5 move together with the steering arm 5. The main uniform material column 6 and the auxiliary uniform material column 9 stir the material in the uniform material tank 2 to make it evenly mixed.
[0027] Simultaneously, the auxiliary motor can be activated as needed. When the auxiliary motor is activated, it drives the drive gear 12 to rotate back and forth. The drive gear 12 drives multiple driven gears 13 meshing with it to rotate back and forth. The multiple driven gears 13 drive multiple fixed steering arms 5 to rotate back and forth around their respective cam shafts, thus realizing the back and forth swing of the multiple steering arms 5 around their respective cam shafts. The main uniform material column 6 on the steering arm 5 swings back and forth with the steering arm 5, thereby expanding the range of the main uniform material column 6 in stirring and dispersing materials. At the same time, during the back and forth swing of the steering arm 5, under the pulling action of the transmission rod 11, it pushes each guide slide 8 to move back and forth along the guide slide groove 7 of the corresponding steering arm 5, thereby driving the auxiliary uniform material column 9 at the bottom of the guide slide 8 to move back and forth together. This allows the multiple auxiliary uniform material columns 9 to move with the steering arm 5 and also move back and forth along the guide slide groove 7 of the corresponding steering arm 5, further expanding the range of material dispersion, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of the material dispersion machine.
[0028] When cleaning the equalization tank 2 is required, connect the water inlet 15 of the water inlet pipe to the water source. Control the water source to enter the hose 16 and the spray nozzle 17 through the water inlet 15. The spray nozzle 17 sprays cleaning water onto the inner wall of the equalization tank 2. At the same time, control the steering arm 5 to rotate. Control the main equalization column 6 to rotate and adhere to the inner wall of the equalization tank 2 through the steering arm 5. Rotate the drive shaft 3 to drive the main equalization column 6 to rotate and adhere to the inner wall of the equalization tank 2. With the sprayed cleaning water, the inner wall of the equalization tank 2 can be cleaned quickly and automatically so that the equalization machine can continue to mix and disperse the next batch of materials.
[0029] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
