[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This utility model, by installing an outer mixing cylinder and a hollow inner cylinder, uses the hollow inner cylinder to intercept larger soil particles or mud clumps during the mud production process, preventing them from being discharged with the mud, which is beneficial to improving mud quality. A first motor drives the hollow inner cylinder to rotate, and a second motor drives the vertical rod, connecting rod, and crushing bar to rotate in the opposite direction, providing greater shear force to the mud in the hollow inner cylinder, which is beneficial to improving the mud mixing effect. At the same time, the crushing bar breaks up the soil particles and mud clumps intercepted on the inner wall of the hollow inner cylinder, which is beneficial to improving the utilization rate of raw materials for mud production and improving mud quality. The inner and outer mixing rods further stir the mud between the hollow inner cylinder and the outer mixing cylinder, which improves the mixing uniformity of the mud and thus improves mud quality.

This utility model, by installing a fan-shaped plate and a fan-shaped through groove, uses a telescopic rod to pull the lifting ring upward, and then a rotating rod to pull the arc rod to rotate, causing the arc rod to pull the fan-shaped plate downward, exposing the fan-shaped through groove. Water flow is used to rinse the hollow inner cylinder, allowing residual particles in the hollow inner cylinder to be discharged through the fan-shaped through groove. Furthermore, the relative movement of the scraper and the bottom wall of the hollow inner cylinder facilitates the full discharge of residual particles, achieving the purpose of convenient cleaning of the inside of the mixing outer cylinder and the hollow inner cylinder.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5A ceramic slurry mixer includes an outer mixing cylinder 1 and an inner cylinder 2. The top wall of the outer mixing cylinder 1 is connected to the inner cylinder 2. Both the outer mixing cylinder 1 and the inner cylinder 2 are cylindrical, and the bottom of the inner cylinder 2 is open. A connecting ring 3 is embedded in the bottom of the inner cylinder 2. The outer wall of the connecting ring 3 and the embedded connection at the bottom of the inner cylinder 2 are slidably connected. A hollow inner cylinder 4 is connected to the bottom of the connecting ring 3. By setting the connecting ring 3, the hollow inner cylinder 4 can rotate relative to the inner cylinder 2. A first motor 5 is installed at the bottom of the outer mixing cylinder 1. The output end of the first motor 5 is connected to a connecting shaft 6. The connecting shaft 6 passes through the bottom of the outer mixing cylinder 1, and the top end of the connecting shaft 6 is connected to the bottom of the hollow inner cylinder 4. A second motor 7 is installed at the top of the outer mixing cylinder 1. The rotation directions of the first motor 5 and the second motor 7 are opposite. The output end of the second motor 7 is connected to a vertical rod 8. The rod 8 is located inside the hollow inner cylinder 4. A connecting rod 9 is installed on the outer wall of the vertical rod 8. Two sets of connecting rods 9 located on the same straight line are connected to a breaking strip 10 at the end away from the vertical rod 8. The breaking strip 10 is located inside the hollow inner cylinder 4. The top view of the breaking strip 10 is J-shaped, so that a part of the outer wall of the breaking strip 10 is parallel to the inner wall of the hollow inner cylinder 4, and there is a small gap between them. The outer wall of the breaking strip 10 is not parallel to the hollow inner cylinder 4. An outer stirring rod 11 is installed on the outer wall of the hollow inner cylinder 4. An inner stirring rod 12 is installed inside the stirring outer cylinder 1. There are multiple sets of outer stirring rods 11, and one set of outer stirring rods 11 is located between two sets of inner stirring rods 12. Elastic strips 13 are installed on the upper and lower outer walls of the outer stirring rods 11, and the length of the elastic strips 13 is greater than the distance between the outer stirring rod 11 and one set of inner stirring rods 12.
[0029] Soil particles and water for producing slurry are added into the hollow inner cylinder 4. The first motor 5 drives the connecting shaft 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the hollow inner cylinder 4 to rotate. The second motor 7 drives the vertical rod 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting rod 9 to rotate. The connecting rod 9 stirs and mixes the water and soil particles in the hollow inner cylinder 4, thus producing ceramic slurry. The counter-rotation of the hollow inner cylinder 4 and the connecting rod 9 provides a greater shear force to the slurry inside, improving the mixing degree. Stirring and mixing the slurry in the hollow inner cylinder 4 instead of directly stirring and mixing it in the outer cylinder 1 avoids the phenomenon of soil particles not fully infused with water, thus preventing the presence of obvious soil particles and lumps in the finished slurry. The rotation of the hollow inner cylinder 4 provides centripetal force, causing undissolved soil particles or larger lumps to be intercepted on the inner wall of the hollow inner cylinder 4. The connecting rod 9 drives the crushing bar 10 to rotate, utilizing the relative movement between the crushing bar 10 and the hollow inner cylinder 4... The movement of the crushing bar 10 causes the crushing bar 10 to squeeze and break up soil particles and lumps, thereby improving the quality of the slurry. After intercepting larger soil particles, the slurry diffuses between the outer mixing cylinder 1 and the hollow inner cylinder 4. The rotation of the hollow inner cylinder 4 drives the outer stirring rod 11 to rotate, which, combined with the inner stirring rod 12, stirs the slurry between the outer mixing cylinder 1 and the hollow inner cylinder 4, greatly improving the mixing degree and quality of the ceramic slurry. Furthermore, when the hollow inner cylinder 4 drives the outer stirring rod 11 to rotate, the outer stirring rod 11 drives the elastic bar 13 to move. The elastic strip 13 is in contact with the inner stirring rod 12. As the outer stirring rod 11 continues to rotate, the two sets of elastic strips 13 deform and move closer to each other, allowing the elastic strip 13 to pass between the two sets of inner stirring rods 12. The vibration energy generated when the elastic strip 13 deforms and recovers after passing through the inner stirring rod 12 is transmitted to the hollow inner cylinder through the outer stirring rod 11, applying vibration energy to the hollow inner cylinder. This prevents soil particles or soil from clogging the hollow inner cylinder and helps maintain the normal operation of the ceramic mud mixer.
[0030] Please see Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7A ceramic slurry mixer includes a perforated inner cylinder 4. The bottom of the inner cylinder 4 comprises a circular base plate 16 at its center and a perforated bottom plate. The perforated bottom plate surrounds the circular base plate 16. A protective cylinder 15 is installed at the bottom of the circular base plate 16, and the bottom of the protective cylinder 15 is flush with the bottom wall of the outer mixing cylinder 1. The protective cylinder 15 is located outside the connecting shaft 6. A fan-shaped groove 17 is formed at the bottom of the perforated inner cylinder 4, and the fan-shaped groove 17 is formed on the perforated bottom plate. A fan-shaped plate 18 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fan-shaped groove 17. There are three sets of fan-shaped grooves 17 and fan-shaped plates 18, and the fan-shaped grooves 17 and fan-shaped plates 18 are evenly distributed around the circular base plate 16. The bottom of the fan-shaped plate 18 is equipped with... There is an arc-shaped rod 19, and the end of the arc-shaped rod 19 away from the fan-shaped plate 18 passes through the outer wall of the protective cylinder 15 and extends into the interior of the protective cylinder 15. A connecting piece 20 is installed at one end of the arc-shaped rod 19, and the connecting piece 20 is located inside the protective cylinder 15. A telescopic rod 21 is installed at the bottom of the disc bottom plate, and the telescopic rod 21 is located on both sides of the connecting shaft 6. The output end of the telescopic rod 21 is connected to a lifting ring 22, and the lifting ring 22 is sleeved on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 6. A rotating strip 23 is embedded in the outer wall of the lifting ring 22, and the end of the rotating strip 23 away from the lifting ring 22 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting piece 20. A scraper 24 is connected to the bottom end of the vertical rod 8, and the bottom of the scraper 24 is in contact with the bottom wall of the hollow inner cylinder 4.
[0031] After the ceramic slurry production is completed, the slurry in the outer mixing cylinder 1 and the hollow inner cylinder 4 is discharged through the outlet 25 at the bottom of the outer mixing cylinder 1. By shortening the telescopic rod 21, the lifting ring 22 is pulled upward. The lifting ring 22 drives the rotating bar 23 to rotate. Under the pull of the rotating bar 23, the arc rod 19 pulls the sector plate 18 to rotate. The sector plate 18 rotates around the rotating connection with the sector groove 17, causing the sector plate 18 to separate from the inner wall of the sector groove 17, exposing the sector groove 17. This allows residual particles inside the hollow inner cylinder 4 to pass through the sector groove 17. The trough 17 falls to the bottom of the outer mixing cylinder 1, and cleaning water is injected into the hollow inner cylinder 4 through the addition port 14 to rinse the hollow interior. At the same time, the first motor 5 drives the hollow inner cylinder 4 to rotate through the connecting shaft 6, so that there is a relative movement between the scraper 24 and the bottom wall of the hollow inner cylinder 4. This facilitates the pushing of the residue above the hollow bottom plate at the bottom of the hollow inner cylinder 4 to the fan-shaped channel 17 for discharge. The water flow carries the particulate impurities at the bottom of the outer mixing cylinder 1 out through the discharge port 25, thus achieving the purpose of cleaning the inside of the outer mixing cylinder 1 and the hollow inner cylinder 4.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2A ceramic slurry mixer includes an inner cylinder with an inlet 14 at the top, the inlet 14 penetrating the top wall of the outer mixing cylinder 1 and extending to the top of the outer mixing cylinder 1. The inlet 14 is located to the left of the second motor 7. The inlet 14 is used to add raw materials for ceramic slurry production into the hollow inner cylinder 4. The bottom of the outer mixing cylinder is provided with a discharge port 25, which is located outside the protective cylinder 15. The discharge port 25 is used to discharge the finished ceramic slurry from the outer mixing cylinder 1, as well as to discharge particulate matter and wastewater from the outer mixing cylinder 1.
[0033] The working principle is as follows: raw materials for ceramic slurry production are added to the hollow inner cylinder 4. The first motor 5 and the connecting shaft 6 drive the hollow inner cylinder 4 to rotate. The second motor 7 drives the vertical rod 8 to rotate in the opposite direction, and also drives the connecting rod and the crushing bar 10 to rotate in the opposite direction. The connecting rod 9 is used to stir and mix the slurry raw materials. The crushing bar 10 crushes the larger soil particles and mud clumps intercepted on the inner wall of the hollow inner cylinder 4, improving the quality of the slurry. The relative movement between the inner stirring rod 12 and the outer stirring rod 11 further stirs and mixes the slurry in the stirring outer cylinder. At the same time, the elastic bar 13 is deformed by the interaction between it and the inner stirring rod. The vibration energy generated when the deformation recovers assists the copper-leaking inner cylinder and prevents the mesh of the hollow inner cylinder 4 from clogging. After the slurry production is completed, the slurry is discharged. The hollow inner cylinder 4 is then rinsed with water and the fan-shaped through groove 17 is drained, thereby removing the residual particles in the hollow inner cylinder 4 and cleaning the stirring outer cylinder 1 and the hollow inner cylinder 4.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
