Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixing technology, and in particular to an active heavy calcium carbonate mixing mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Heavy calcium carbonate, as a widely used powdered inorganic filler, occupies a crucial position in modern industrial production. It is primarily produced by grinding natural carbonate minerals such as calcite, marble, and limestone, hence its abbreviation "heavy calcium carbonate." With its high chemical purity, high chemical inertness, non-toxicity, tastelessness, odorlessness, and excellent dispersibility, heavy calcium carbonate is widely used in numerous industries, including plastics, rubber, papermaking, coatings, and inks. In the plastics industry, it serves as a filler, effectively improving the hardness, dimensional stability, and heat resistance of plastic products. In the papermaking industry, it improves paper opacity, whiteness, and printability. In the coatings industry, it helps enhance the hiding power and suspension stability of coatings; mixing equipment is used in the production process of heavy calcium carbonate.
[0003] Extensive literature review and market research revealed that existing active heavy calcium carbonate mixing equipment generally employs a single stirring rod. While this traditional mixing method achieves some degree of material mixing, its working principle is relatively simple, relying solely on the rotation of the stirring rod to agitate the material. In actual production, this single-stirring method exposes numerous problems. Due to the limited mixing range, the material cannot achieve comprehensive and thorough mixing within the equipment, easily leading to localized over-mixing while other areas remain under-mixed. This is especially problematic for active heavy calcium carbonate materials containing surface modifiers and other additives, as the single stirring rod cannot effectively break up material agglomerates, resulting in uneven stratification during mixing. This uneven stratification not only leads to unstable performance of the active heavy calcium carbonate product, affecting its effectiveness in downstream applications, but also reduces production efficiency, increases production costs, and fails to meet the growing demand of modern industry for high-quality active heavy calcium carbonate products.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an active heavy calcium carbonate mixing mechanism to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] This invention provides an active heavy calcium carbonate mixing mechanism, which solves the problems in the background art.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an active heavy calcium carbonate mixing mechanism, including a device body. A spherical mixing tank is fixed inside the device body via a connecting rod. A rotary motor is mounted on the outer surface of the device body. An installation ball is positioned at the output end of the rotary motor, penetrating the surface of the device body and the surface of the spherical mixing tank. The installation ball is located at the center of the spherical mixing tank. Multiple mixing plates are vertically mounted on the periphery of the installation ball, arranged equidistantly around the periphery of the installation ball. The spherical mixing tank is fixed inside the device body via the connecting rod. This unique structural design, combined with the centrally located installation ball and the multiple equidistantly surrounding mixing plates, brings significant effects. The spherical mixing tank provides a mixing space without dead angles. Compared to traditional square or cylindrical tanks, the material inside will not have mixing blind spots due to corners or edges during rotation. With the installation ball at the center, when the rotary motor drives its rotation, the multiple mixing plates can uniformly stir the material in all directions around the center of the ball, forming a three-dimensional mixing effect. This comprehensive mixing method not only mixes materials quickly and thoroughly, but also effectively handles active heavy calcium carbonate materials with multiple added ingredients, completely breaking up material agglomeration, allowing different components to fully blend, greatly improving the product's mixing uniformity and quality stability, and meeting the stringent requirements of modern industry for high-quality products.
[0007] Preferably, a discharge pipe is provided through the bottom surface of the spherical mixing tank, and a valve is installed on the discharge pipe. Inside the device body, below the discharge pipe, an inclined material drop plate is installed, and a vibrator is installed on the bottom surface of the material drop plate. The discharge pipe at the bottom of the spherical mixing tank, in conjunction with the valve, achieves precise control of material discharge. In actual production, operators can flexibly adjust the valve opening according to the needs of subsequent processes to control the material discharge speed and flow rate, avoiding material accumulation due to excessively fast discharge or disruption of production rhythm due to excessively slow discharge. The combination of the inclined material drop plate and the vibrator further optimizes the discharge process. The inclined material drop plate uses gravity to assist the material in sliding down, reducing resistance during the discharge process and allowing the material to be smoothly transferred from the mixing tank to subsequent processing stages. The continuous vibration of the vibrator installed at the bottom of the material drop plate effectively prevents material accumulation or blockage due to its own viscosity, interparticle friction, etc., ensuring a continuous and stable discharge process, greatly improving production efficiency, and reducing downtime, cleaning time, and maintenance costs caused by poor discharge.
[0008] Preferably, baffles are provided at both ends of the top surface of the material discharge plate. These baffles, though seemingly simple, play an indispensable role. As the material slides down the material discharge plate, the baffles effectively prevent it from spilling to the sides due to inertia, vibration, or other factors, ensuring that the material always moves along the predetermined path of the material discharge plate. This avoids material spilling outside the equipment, preventing waste and pollution, and also reduces the workload of manually cleaning up spilled material, maintaining a clean and orderly production environment, and ensuring the efficiency and safety of the production process.
[0009] Preferably, a maintenance cover is fastened to the top surface of the device body, and a feed hopper is installed through the top surface of the maintenance cover. This fastening of the maintenance cover on the top of the device body greatly facilitates equipment maintenance and repair. When the equipment malfunctions or requires regular maintenance, operators can easily remove the maintenance cover and quickly enter the spherical mixing tank for inspection, repair, or cleaning, without the need for complex disassembly of the entire device, saving significant time and labor costs. The feed hopper installed on the maintenance cover facilitates the material addition process, allowing materials to enter the spherical mixing tank directly and accurately, preventing spillage and loss during addition, and ensuring efficient and accurate material addition.
[0010] Preferably, the device body is equipped with pulleys at its bottom, and multiple pulleys are installed at equal intervals at the four corners of the bottom of the device body. The multiple pulleys at the bottom of the device body greatly enhance the flexibility and mobility of the equipment. In industrial production scenarios, operators can easily push the mixing mechanism to a suitable position according to different production layouts and process requirements, without the need for complex hoisting or handling equipment, thus reducing the difficulty and cost of equipment handling.
[0011] Preferably, a controller is mounted on the outer surface of the device body, providing an intelligent operation and management method for the entire mixing mechanism. Operators can easily start and stop the rotating motor and adjust its speed to meet the mixing requirements of different materials via the controller; they can also control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe valve and the start and stop of the vibrator, achieving precise control over the entire mixing and discharge process. Furthermore, the controller integrates functions such as fault monitoring and operating status display, providing real-time feedback on the equipment's operating status, facilitating timely detection and handling of equipment faults by operators, ensuring stable equipment operation, and improving the automation level and production management efficiency of the production process.
[0012] Compared with related technologies, the active heavy calcium carbonate mixing mechanism provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] Compared to existing technologies, this mixing mechanism employs a spherical mixing tank with a centrally mounted sphere and multiple equidistantly surrounding mixing plates. Compared to traditional single stirring rods, this design significantly expands the mixing range, enabling 360-degree, thorough mixing of materials within the spherical mixing tank. When the rotating motor drives the mounted sphere to rotate, multiple mixing plates simultaneously stir the materials, effectively breaking up agglomerates and preventing over- or under-mixing in certain areas. This ensures uniform mixing of the active heavy calcium carbonate material, which contains surface modifiers and other components, guaranteeing product performance stability, significantly improving product quality, and meeting the demands of modern industry for high-quality active heavy calcium carbonate products.
[0014] Compared to existing technologies, the discharge pipe at the bottom of the spherical mixing tank, along with the inclined drop plate and vibrator below, constitutes a highly efficient discharge system. The discharge pipe, in conjunction with valves, precisely controls the discharge speed and flow rate; the inclined drop plate allows material to slide automatically under gravity, while the vibrator installed at the bottom of the drop plate continuously vibrates, effectively preventing blockages or accumulation during the discharge process and ensuring smooth discharge. This design not only accelerates the discharge speed and reduces discharge time but also decreases the frequency of manual cleaning, further improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] First Embodiment
[0025] Please refer to the following: Figure 1-5 An active heavy calcium carbonate mixing mechanism includes a device body 1. A spherical mixing tank 2 is fixed inside the device body 1 via a connecting rod. A rotary motor 5 is mounted on the outer surface of the device body 1. An installation ball 10 is positioned at the center of the spherical mixing tank 2, penetrating the surface of the device body 1 and the surface of the spherical mixing tank 2 at the output end of the rotary motor 5. Multiple mixing plates 11 are equidistantly arranged around the installation ball 10. The spherical mixing tank 2 is fixed inside the device body 1 via the connecting rod. This unique structural design, combined with the central installation ball 10 and the equidistant surrounding mixing plates 11, delivers significant benefits. The spherical mixing tank 2 provides a mixing space without dead angles. Compared to traditional square or cylindrical tanks, the material inside does not experience mixing blind spots due to corners or edges during rotation. With the ball 10 positioned at the center, when driven to rotate by the rotary motor 5, multiple mixing plates 11 can uniformly stir the material in all directions around the center of the ball, creating a three-dimensional mixing effect. This all-around mixing method not only mixes materials quickly and thoroughly but also effectively handles active heavy calcium carbonate materials with multiple added components, completely breaking up material agglomerates, allowing different components to fully blend, significantly improving the product's mixing uniformity and quality stability, and meeting the stringent requirements of modern industry for high-quality products.
[0026] The working principle of the active heavy calcium carbonate mixing mechanism provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0027] When using this active heavy calcium carbonate mixing mechanism, first open the mixing mechanism through the inspection cover 4 on the top of the device body 1, and pour the active heavy calcium carbonate material to be mixed, as well as surface modifiers and other components, into the spherical mixing tank 2 through the feed hopper 3. After closing the inspection cover 4, the operator starts the rotary motor 5 through the controller 9 on the outside of the device body 1. The rotary motor 5 starts working, and its output end drives the mounting ball 10 to rotate at high speed at the center position of the spherical mixing tank 2. The multiple mixing plates 11 vertically installed on the sides of the mounting ball 10 rotate synchronously, stirring and turning the material in the spherical mixing tank 2 from all directions and multiple angles. Since the mixing plates 11 are installed at equal intervals around the spherical mixing tank 2, they can cover all areas inside the spherical mixing tank 2 during rotation, so that the material is continuously dispersed and mixed in the tank, effectively solving the problems of material agglomeration and uneven mixing.
[0028] Once the materials are fully mixed, the operator opens the valve on the discharge pipe via controller 9. The mixed material flows out from the discharge pipe at the bottom of the spherical mixing tank 2 under gravity, landing on the inclined discharge plate 6 below. The inclined angle of the discharge plate 6 allows the material to slide automatically down the plate surface. Simultaneously, the vibrator 7 installed at the bottom of the discharge plate 6 starts working, continuously vibrating to keep the material loose during its descent, preventing accumulation and blockage, and ensuring smooth discharge from the discharge plate 6. Baffles 12 at both ends of the top surface of the discharge plate 6 effectively prevent material from spilling to the sides during its descent, ensuring it is discharged along a predetermined path. Furthermore, multiple pulleys 8 at the bottom of the device body 1 facilitate the movement and position adjustment of the mixing mechanism, allowing for flexible equipment arrangement according to production needs.
[0029] Compared with related technologies, the active heavy calcium carbonate mixing mechanism provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] The mixing mechanism employs a spherical mixing tank 2, a centrally mounted ball 10, and multiple equidistantly surrounding mixing plates 11. Compared to traditional single stirring rods, this design significantly expands the mixing range, enabling the material to achieve 360-degree, all-around, and thorough mixing within the spherical mixing tank 2. When the rotary motor 5 drives the ball 10 to rotate, the multiple mixing plates 11 simultaneously stir the material, effectively breaking up agglomerations and preventing over- or under-mixing in certain areas. This ensures uniform mixing of the active heavy calcium carbonate material, which contains surface modifiers and other components, guaranteeing product performance stability, significantly improving product quality, and meeting the demands of modern industry for high-quality active heavy calcium carbonate products. The discharge pipe at the bottom of the spherical mixing tank 2, along with the inclined discharge plate 6 and vibrator 7 below, constitutes a highly efficient discharge system. The discharge pipe, in conjunction with valves, allows for precise control of the material discharge speed and flow rate. The inclined discharge plate 6 allows the material to slide automatically under gravity, while the vibrator 7 installed at the bottom of the discharge plate 6 continuously vibrates, effectively preventing blockages or accumulation during the discharge process and ensuring smooth material discharge. This design not only accelerates the discharge speed and reduces discharge time but also decreases the frequency of manual cleaning, further improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

Inside the main body 1, a material drop plate 6 is installed at an angle below the discharge pipe, and a vibrator 7 is installed on the bottom surface of the material drop plate 6. The discharge pipe at the bottom of the spherical mixing tank 2, in conjunction with the valve, achieves precise control of material discharge. In actual production, operators can flexibly adjust the valve opening according to the needs of subsequent processes to control the material discharge speed and flow rate, avoiding material accumulation due to excessively fast discharge or disruption of production rhythm due to excessively slow discharge. The combination of the inclined material drop plate 6 below the discharge pipe and the vibrator 7 further optimizes the discharge process. The inclined material drop plate 6 utilizes gravity to assist the material in sliding down, reducing resistance during the discharge process and allowing the material to be smoothly transferred from the mixing tank to subsequent processing stages. The vibrator 7 installed at the bottom of the discharge plate 6 vibrates continuously, which can effectively prevent the material from accumulating or blocking due to its own stickiness, inter-particle friction and other factors, ensuring a continuous and stable discharge process, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing downtime cleaning time and maintenance costs caused by poor discharge.
[0034] Based on Example 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-5 The top surface of the material discharge plate 6 is equipped with baffles 12 at both ends. These baffles 12, though seemingly simple, play an indispensable role. As the material slides down the material discharge plate 6, the baffles 12 effectively prevent it from spilling to the sides due to inertia, vibration, or other factors, ensuring that the material always moves along the predetermined path of the material discharge plate 6. This avoids material spilling outside the equipment, preventing waste and pollution, and also reduces the workload of manually cleaning up spilled material, maintaining a clean and orderly production environment, and ensuring the efficiency and safety of the production process.
[0035] Based on Example 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-5 The device body 1 has a maintenance cover 4 fastened to its top surface. A feed hopper 3 is installed through the top surface of the maintenance cover 4. The maintenance cover 4, fastened to the top of the device body 1, greatly facilitates equipment maintenance and repair. When the equipment malfunctions or requires regular maintenance, operators can easily remove the maintenance cover 4 and quickly enter the spherical mixing tank 2 for inspection, repair, or cleaning, without the need for complex disassembly of the entire device, saving significant time and labor costs. The feed hopper 3 installed on the maintenance cover 4 facilitates the material addition process, allowing materials to enter the spherical mixing tank 2 directly and accurately, preventing spillage and loss during addition, and ensuring efficient and accurate material addition.
[0036] Based on Example 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-5The device body 1 is equipped with pulleys 8 at its bottom end, and multiple pulleys 8 are installed at equal intervals at the four corners of the bottom end of the device body 1. These multiple pulleys 8 greatly enhance the flexibility and mobility of the equipment. In industrial production scenarios, operators can easily push the mixing mechanism to a suitable position according to different production layouts and process requirements, without the need for complex hoisting or handling equipment, thus reducing the difficulty and cost of equipment handling.
[0037] Based on Example 1, see [link / reference] Figure 1-5 A controller 9 is mounted on the outer surface of the device body 1, providing intelligent operation and management for the entire mixing mechanism. Operators can easily start and stop the rotating motor 5 and adjust its speed to meet the mixing requirements of different materials via the controller 9. They can also control the opening and closing of the discharge pipe valve and the start and stop of the vibrator 7, achieving precise control over the entire mixing and discharge process. Furthermore, the controller 9 integrates functions such as fault monitoring and operating status display, providing real-time feedback on the equipment's working status. This facilitates timely detection and handling of equipment faults by operators, ensuring stable equipment operation and improving the automation level and production management efficiency of the production process. The control circuit of the controller 9 can be implemented through simple programming by those skilled in the art and is common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the control method and circuit connection will not be described in detail here, as it is only used without modification.
