Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of graphene storage tank technology, and in particular to a slurry storage tank. Background Technology

[0002] Graphene is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial with a hexagonal honeycomb lattice composed of hybridized carbon atoms. It possesses excellent optical, electrical, and mechanical properties, and holds significant promise for applications in materials science, micro / nano fabrication, energy, biomedicine, and drug delivery. The fabrication of graphene typically involves the reaction of graphite with strong acids such as concentrated nitric acid or concentrated sulfuric acid, or with strong oxidizing agents like potassium permanganate, followed by reduction to obtain graphene. Graphene oxide obtained through strong acid oxidation is often stored in a liquid state. The graphene oxide material is mixed with a solvent to obtain a graphene oxide slurry, ensuring the dispersion of the graphene oxide for subsequent reduction processing.

[0003] However, existing graphene slurry storage tanks are not ideal for storage. Graphene oxide slurry itself has high viscosity, poor fluidity, and strong corrosiveness. When placed in a sealed storage tank for a long time, it is prone to sedimentation and wall adhesion. It can also cause problems such as solidification and sticking when workers take out the graphene oxide slurry. Therefore, this utility model proposes a slurry storage tank. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a slurry storage tank.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a slurry storage tank, comprising a tank body, a servo motor fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of the tank body, the output shaft of the servo motor extending through to the interior of the tank body and equipped with a stirring assembly, and an auxiliary feeding assembly cooperating with a discharge pipe installed on the lower surface of the stirring assembly, a feed pipe fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the tank body, a sealing cap threadedly connected to the outer surface of the feed pipe, and a pressing assembly installed inside the sealing cap.

[0006] Furthermore, the stirring assembly includes a stirring shaft fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor. Multiple stirring rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer surface of the stirring shaft. One end of each set of multiple stirring rods on the same side is fixedly connected to the same scraper. One side of the outer surface of the scraper is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tank.

[0007] Furthermore, the auxiliary feeding assembly includes a connecting seat fixedly connected to the lower surface of the stirring shaft, and a spiral blade is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting seat, with one end of the spiral blade extending through the side wall of the tank.

[0008] Furthermore, the pressing assembly includes a connecting rod fixedly connected to the inside of the sealing cover, and a pressing plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting rod. The outer surface of the pressing plate abuts against the inner wall of the feed pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the pressure plate includes a plate body and a plurality of drainage ribs fixedly connected to the lower surface of the plate body. The upper surface of the plate body is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting rod, and the plurality of drainage ribs are radially distributed on the lower surface of the plate body with respect to the center of the plate body.

[0010] Furthermore, a discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank, and a valve body is fixedly installed at one end of the discharge pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer surface of the sealing cover is fixedly connected with several anti-slip patterns, and the several anti-slip patterns are evenly distributed at equal intervals on the outer surface of the sealing cover.

[0012] Furthermore, three support legs are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the tank, and a glass window is fixedly installed on the front of the tank.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In use, this utility model's slurry storage tank, through its set stirring assembly, auxiliary feeding assembly, sealing cover, and pressing assembly, utilizes a servo motor to drive the rotation of the stirring shaft, thereby agitating the graphene slurry with a stirring rod. This prevents uneven concentration between the upper and lower layers, ensuring a uniform concentration of the graphene slurry and preventing it from settling at the bottom. Simultaneously, a scraper can scrape the slurry off the inner wall of the tank, preventing the graphene slurry from adhering to the wall during long-term storage. Furthermore, when the graphene slurry is filled through the feed pipe and the sealing cover is closed, the graphene slurry on the inner wall of the feed pipe can be scraped downwards until it drips into the tank under gravity, preventing the graphene slurry from solidifying and clogging the feed pipe. When discharging the graphene slurry, simply cooperating with the servo motor to drive the spiral blades to rotate can guide the graphene slurry downwards, assisting in its discharge and preventing it from clogging the discharge pipe due to adhesion and solidification during discharge.

[0022] Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a slurry storage tank is disclosed, including a tank body 1. A servo motor 2 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper surface of the tank body 1. The output shaft of the servo motor 2 extends through the interior of the tank body 1 and is equipped with a stirring assembly. An auxiliary feeding assembly that cooperates with a discharge pipe 8 is installed on the lower surface of the stirring assembly. A feed pipe 12 is fixedly connected to one end of the upper surface of the tank body 1. A sealing cover 11 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the feed pipe 12, and a pressing assembly is installed inside the sealing cover 11.

[0023] Among them, the outer surface of the sealing cover 11 is fixedly connected with several anti-slip textures 15, and the several anti-slip textures 15 are evenly distributed at equal intervals on the outer surface of the sealing cover 11. The anti-slip textures 15 play a role in increasing friction, making it easier for workers to grip and twist.

[0024] Specifically, the stirring assembly includes a stirring shaft 3 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 2. Multiple stirring rods 4 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer surface of the stirring shaft 3. One end of each set of multiple stirring rods 4 on the same side is fixedly connected to the same scraper 5. One side of the outer surface of the scraper 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the tank 1. The operation of the servo motor 2 can drive the stirring shaft 3 connected to its output shaft to rotate, thereby driving the stirring rods 4 and the scraper 5 to move in a circle around the stirring shaft 3. The stirring of the stirring rods 4 can prevent excessive precipitation of the graphene slurry, while the scraper 5 can scrape the graphene slurry off the inner wall of the tank 1 while rotating, preventing the material from adhering to the inner wall of the tank 1.

[0025] The auxiliary feeding assembly includes a connecting seat 6 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the stirring shaft 3. A spiral blade 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting seat 6. One end of the spiral blade 7 extends through the side wall of the tank body 1. Correspondingly, a discharge pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 1. A valve body 9 is fixedly installed at one end of the discharge pipe 8. The connecting seat 6 will rotate with the stirring shaft 3, thereby driving the spiral blade 7 to rotate and guide the graphene slurry to avoid blockage during feeding, so that the graphene slurry can be discharged from the inside of the tank body 1 through the discharge pipe 8.

[0026] The pressing assembly includes a connecting rod 13 fixedly connected to the inside of the sealing cover 11. A pressing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting rod 13. The outer surface of the pressing plate 14 abuts against the inner wall of the feed pipe 12. The pressing plate 14 includes a plate body 1401 and a plurality of drainage ribs 1402 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the plate body 1401. The upper surface of the plate body 1401 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting rod 13, and the plurality of drainage ribs 1402 are radially distributed on the lower surface of the plate body 1401 with respect to the center of the plate body 1401.

[0027] When the graphene slurry is filled into the feed pipe 12 and the sealing cap 11 is closed, the pressure plate 14 connected to the sealing cap 11 can follow the rotation of the sealing cap 11 to scrape the graphene slurry on the inner wall of the feed pipe 12 downwards until the sealing cap 11 is screwed into place. After the connecting rod 13 enters the interior of the tank 1, the slurry remaining on the plate 1401 will flow along the guide ribs 1402 until it drips into the tank 1 under the action of gravity.

[0028] Three support legs 10 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the tank body 1, and a glass window 16 is fixedly installed on the front of the tank body 1. The three support legs 10 are evenly distributed on the lower surface of the tank body 1 in a "three-legged tripod" manner, thereby ensuring that each support leg 10 evenly distributes the load. This design can provide a stable support structure, and the presence of the glass window 16 makes it easy for workers to observe the state of the slurry inside the tank body 1.

[0029] When using the slurry storage tank, when storing graphene slurry, after the graphene slurry is filled into the feed pipe 12, when the sealing cap 11 is closed, the graphene slurry on the inner wall of the feed pipe 12 can be scraped downward until it drips into the tank 1 under the action of gravity, preventing the graphene slurry from condensing and clogging the feed pipe.

[0030] Meanwhile, by periodically controlling the servo motor 2, the operation of the servo motor 2 can drive the rotation of the stirring shaft 3, thereby driving the stirring rod 4 to stir the graphene slurry, preventing uneven concentration between the upper and lower layers, making the graphene slurry uniform in concentration and less likely to settle at the bottom. At the same time, the scraper 5 can scrape the slurry off the inner wall of the tank 1, thereby avoiding the graphene slurry from sticking to the wall during long-term storage.

[0031] Furthermore, when discharging the graphene slurry, the servo motor 2 is used to drive the spiral blades 7 to rotate, which guides the graphene slurry downwards and assists in its discharge, preventing it from clogging the discharge pipe due to adhesion and solidification during discharge.

[0032] 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, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
