[0039] The following detailed description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0040] refer to Figures 1 to 2 At least one embodiment provides a rotary joint for pre-stirring a mixed solution, comprising: a mixing mechanism 1, which includes a stirring element 11 for mixing materials and a gravity-driven cleaning element 14 for cleaning the stirring element 11, the stirring element 11 being adapted to initially stir the materials during material conveying, the gravity-driven cleaning element 14 being movably fitted onto the stirring element 11 so that the gravity-driven cleaning element 14 performs reciprocating centrifugal and centripetal motions when the stirring element 11 rotates, thereby cleaning the stirring element 11 and preventing material crystallization on the stirring element 11; an inner tube 2, which includes a conveying chamber 21 for holding materials and the mixing mechanism 1, for directly conveying the mixed materials; a bearing 3; and an outer tube 4, which includes a mounting groove 41 for fitting the bearing 3 and the end of the inner tube 2, so that the inner tube 2 is adapted to rotate within the mounting groove 41; the inner tube 2 is connected to a material conveying pipe of an external control system, and the outer tube 4 is connected to a material receiving pipe.
[0041] In some embodiments, the mixing mechanism 1 is separated from the inner tube 2 so that relative movement can occur between the two; the extension of the mixing mechanism 1 is fixedly connected to the wall of the outer tube 4 so that the mixing mechanism 1 rotates synchronously when the inner tube 2 and the outer tube 4 rotate.
[0042] In some embodiments, the stirring element 11 is located at the junction of the end of the inner tube 2 and the end of the outer tube 4; the center of the stirring element 11 is concentric with the center of the bearing 3.
[0043] In some embodiments, the stirring component 11 includes a central shaft 12 and a stirring shaft 13 mounted on the central shaft 12 to ensure that the central shaft 12 and the stirring shaft 13 move synchronously; the gravity-driven cleaning component 14 is movably mounted on the stirring shaft 13 to clean it and prevent the material from crystallizing on the stirring shaft 13.
[0044] In some embodiments, one end of the stirring shaft 13 extends toward the outer tube 4 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer tube 4; the stirring shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the central shaft 12 near the bearing 3; the gravity-driven cleaning component 14 is annular in shape to ensure that the gravity-driven cleaning component 14 can move along the length direction of the stirring shaft 13.
[0045] In some embodiments, the stirring shaft 13 is evenly distributed at the end of the central shaft 12; the gravity-driven cleaning component 14 is made of stainless steel to ensure its service life.
[0046] In some embodiments, the diameter of the stirring shaft 13 is circular or polygonal; the stirring shaft 13 is adapted to rotate along the end of the central shaft 12 in the horizontal direction, so that the axial direction of the stirring shaft 13 is adapted to coincide with the vertical direction when rotating, thereby realizing that when the stirring component 11 rotates, the gravity drives the cleaning component 14 to perform reciprocating centrifugal and centripetal motions, so as to clean the stirring component 11 and prevent the crystallization of materials on the stirring component 11.
[0047] In some embodiments, the stirring shaft 13 is separated from the conveying chamber 21; the distance between the stirring shaft 13 and the conveying chamber 21 is less than the thickness of the gravity-driven cleaning component 14, so as to avoid the gravity-driven cleaning component 14 from separating from the stirring shaft 13, while ensuring that the cleaning effect of the gravity-driven cleaning component 14 on the stirring shaft 13 is ideal when it moves.
[0048] Working principle: Before using a rotary joint for pre-stirring mixed solutions, the inner tube 2 is connected to the material conveying pipe of the external control system, and the outer tube 4 is connected to the material receiving pipe. When the rotary joint for pre-stirring mixed solutions is first used, multiple liquid materials conveyed by the material conveying pipe simultaneously arrive at the conveying chamber 21 of the inner tube 2. During use, affected by environmental factors, the outer tube 4 rotates continuously, driving the mixing mechanism 1 on the outer tube 4 to rotate. At this time, the central shaft 12 drives the stirring shaft 13 to rotate, and multiple stirring shafts 13 sequentially reach the highest and lowest points. At this time, the gravity outside the stirring shaft 13 drives the cleaning component 14 to move along the axis of the stirring shaft 13, cleaning the outside of the stirring shaft 13 and preventing material crystallization. The rotation of the stirring shaft 13 completes the initial mixing of the materials. The above process is repeated until the work is completed.
