Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of production mixing technology, and in particular to a mixing device for producing polyurethane foam sealant. Background Technology
[0002] Polyurethane foam sealant, a widely used sealing material in construction, automotive, and home appliance industries, directly depends on the uniformity of mixing during the production process to ensure its stability. Because polyurethane raw materials typically have high viscosity, and the reaction involves the precise proportioning of multiple components such as foaming agents and catalysts, traditional mixing equipment often struggles to achieve sufficient micro-dispersion and macro-flow, leading to problems such as uneven cell structure and decreased mechanical properties in the final product.
[0003] Currently, most mixing devices used in the production of polyurethane foam sealant employ a single-shaft mixing structure, such as paddle mixers, turbine mixers, or ribbon mixers. These mixing devices typically rely on a single type of mixing blade, with a motor driving the mixing shaft to rotate, causing the material to circulate within the tank. Some improved equipment adds a static mixer or uses a multi-speed motor to adjust the mixing intensity, thereby enhancing the mixing effect. Furthermore, some high-end mixing devices employ a staged feeding method, mixing the main raw materials first and then gradually adding additives to reduce the problem of uneven concentration in certain areas.
[0004] However, the aforementioned mixing device still has significant drawbacks in practical applications. Due to the high viscosity and poor flowability of polyurethane raw materials, a single stirring blade cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of scraping material from the tank wall, shearing at the center, and preventing sedimentation at the bottom. This leads to the formation of dead zones within the mixing tank, resulting in some materials failing to mix adequately. This not only reduces reaction efficiency but also affects the uniformity of cell structure and mechanical properties of the final product due to incomplete local reactions. Therefore, a mixing device for polyurethane foam sealant production is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a mixing device for the production of polyurethane foam sealant, which aims to improve the problem that high-viscosity materials are prone to forming flow dead zones when a single blade is used for stirring in the prior art, resulting in incomplete local reactions.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A mixing device for producing polyurethane foam sealant includes a support leg, a mixing tank fixedly connected to the side wall of the support leg, a top cover fixedly connected to the top of the mixing tank, an inlet pipe fixedly connected inside the top cover, a first connecting pipe fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mixing tank, a bearing component disposed inside the first connecting pipe, a first motor fixedly connected to the top of the top cover, a drive shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor, and a mixing component disposed on the outer wall of the drive shaft.
[0008] The stirring assembly includes a propeller blade, the sidewall of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive shaft. A shear blade is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the drive shaft. An anchor blade is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive shaft. The outer wall of the anchor blade is rotatably connected to the bottom of the stirring tank. The outer wall of the shear blade is rotatably connected to the inside of the stirring tank. The sidewall of the propeller blade is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the stirring tank.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] The material carrier tube is fixedly connected to a second connecting tube inside, and the outer wall of the second connecting tube is fixedly connected to the inside of the first connecting tube.
[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0014] A spiral column is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the scraper blade, and the outer wall of the spiral column is rotatably connected to the inside of the material carrying tube.
[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0016] A first connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material loading tube, and a first rotating plate is rotatably connected to the side wall of the first connecting block.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first rotating plate, and a second connecting block is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0020] The second connecting block is rotatably connected to a second rotating block on its side wall, and a rotating door is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second rotating block. A first support block is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating door.
[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0022] The first support block has a rotatable limit post inside, and one end of the limit post is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the material loading tube.
[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] 1. In this utility model, the propeller blades rotate on the inner wall of the mixing tank to scrape off the liquid adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank. Then, the shear blades rotate to stir the liquid evenly. Finally, the anchor blades prevent the liquid from settling to the bottom, achieving a stable and efficient stirring effect. This solves the problem that when a single blade is used for stirring, high-viscosity materials are prone to forming flow dead zones, resulting in incomplete local reactions. This improves the practicality of the mixing device for polyurethane foam sealant production.
[0025] 2. In this utility model, the rotation of the spiral column drives the liquid to rotate, and then the output end of the hydraulic cylinder drives the second connecting block to move. Then the second connecting block drives the second rotating block and the rotating door on the side wall to rotate. The rotating door is limited by the limiting column, which achieves the effect of quantitatively dispensing additives. This solves the problem of inaccurate dispensing of foam additives, which affects the fluctuation of foam density and leads to unstable product quality. It also improves the stability of the mixing device for polyurethane foam sealant production. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The mixing assembly includes a propeller blade 8, which, in conjunction with a shear blade 9 and an anchor blade 10, performs a compound three-dimensional motion, achieving a dual mixing effect of macroscopic circulation and microscopic dispersion. The propeller blade 8 rotates along the tank wall to eliminate flow dead zones, the shear blade 9 breaks up particles, and the anchor blade 10 prevents bottom sedimentation.

The propeller blade 8 rotates along the inner wall of the mixing tank 6, scraping off the material adhering to the tank wall and promoting the overall circulation; the shear blade 9 rotates at high speed to generate strong shearing force, breaking up the foaming agent agglomerates and ensuring uniform dispersion of trace additives; the anchor blade 10 rotates close to the bottom of the tank to prevent the deposition of high-viscosity materials. The three sets of blades work together to achieve all-round mixing from macro-mixing to micro-dispersion, effectively eliminating the flow dead zone problem existing in traditional single mixing.
[0038] When the additive is quantitatively added, the second motor 11 first drives the scraper blade 14 and the spiral column 15 to rotate, so as to evenly transport the additive in the loading pipe 12 to the second connecting pipe 13. The hydraulic cylinder 18 drives the rotating door 23 to rotate around the limiting column 22 by pushing the second connecting block 19, so as to accurately control the opening of the additive outlet and realize quantitative addition as needed. This linkage mechanism can ensure that the addition accuracy of key components such as foaming agent and catalyst is small, and ensure the stability of foam density and curing quality from the source.
