AI Technical Summary
Traditional grease mixing kettles rely on gravity discharge after mixing, which causes high-viscosity grease to remain in the kettle, resulting in raw material waste and cleaning difficulties, affecting the stability and consistency of product quality.
The grease mixing vessel with active discharge uses a screw blade assembly driven by a geared motor, combined with a telescopic cylinder to control the movement of the inner rod, to switch between mixing and discharge modes. The screw thrust actively pushes the grease, avoiding stagnation and blockage.
It improves mixing uniformity, shortens discharge time, reduces production costs and complexity, and ensures product quality stability and consistency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of grease production equipment, specifically to a mixing kettle for grease processing with active material discharge. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional grease mixing kettles have revealed many problems in practical use.
[0003] Most traditional mixing reactors only have a single mixing function. After mixing, discharge mainly relies on gravity. Because grease itself has high viscosity, especially some specially formulated high-viscosity greases, gravity discharge is not only time-consuming but also prone to adhesion and accumulation at the bottom of the reactor and the discharge port, leading to incomplete discharge and a large amount of grease residue inside the reactor. This not only wastes raw materials and increases production costs but also significantly increases the workload of subsequent reactor cleaning. Furthermore, if residual grease mixes into the next batch of product, it will seriously affect the stability and consistency of product quality. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

It simultaneously achieves mixing and discharging functions, reducing the complexity and cost of the production line. The mixing and discharging components are integrated inside the mixing vessel, and the transmission components are installed at the top and bottom of the vessel body, resulting in a compact structure suitable for the spatial layout of industrial production lines.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0023] A grease mixing vessel with active discharge capability includes a mixing vessel 1. A geared motor 2 is installed in the center of the top surface of the mixing vessel 1. A grease material inlet 3 is opened on one side of the top of the mixing vessel 1. A telescopic cylinder 5 is installed in the center of the bottom surface of the mixing vessel 1. A grease outlet 4 is opened on one side of the bottom of the mixing vessel 1. A mixing and discharge assembly 6 is installed inside the mixing vessel 1. The geared motor 2 and the telescopic cylinder 5 are both connected to the mixing and discharge assembly 6. The mixing and discharge assembly 6 includes a first spiral blade 605 and a second spiral blade 607. When processing grease, the material is put into the interior of the mixing vessel 1 through the grease material inlet 3. The geared motor 2 drives the mixing and discharge assembly 6 to mix the raw materials. When discharging grease, the first spiral blade 605 and the second spiral blade 607 combine. The combined spiral blades form a spiral conveyor blade, which provides a certain thrust assistance during the discharge process and drives active discharge.
[0024] The mixing and discharging assembly 6 includes a rotating outer rod 601 and an inner rod 604. The top end of the rotating outer rod 601 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the geared motor 2. The inner rod 604 is slidably disposed inside the rotating outer rod 601, and a rotating connector 603 is provided at the bottom end of the inner rod 604. A telescopic rod 602 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 5. The telescopic rod 602 is rotatably connected to the inner rod 604 through the rotating connector 603. When the telescopic cylinder 5 is working, it can drive the telescopic rod 602 to extend or retract, thereby causing the inner rod 604 to slide longitudinally inside the rotating outer rod 601, thereby adjusting the horizontal height of the second connecting rod 608 and thus adjusting the position of the second spiral blade 607.
[0025] The outer rotating rod 601 has two vertically oriented guide grooves 609 symmetrically arranged on its outer side. The inner rod 604 has a second connecting rod 608 on its outer side, which is slidably disposed inside the guide grooves 609. The outer rotating rod 601 has a first connecting rod 606 on its outer side, which slides along the direction of the guide grooves 609 when the second connecting rod 608 is raised or lowered. At the same time, the angle between the outer rotating rod 601 and the inner rod 604 is fixed by the second connecting rod 608 and the guide grooves 609, so that when the outer rotating rod 601 rotates, the inner rod 604 is restricted by the second connecting rod 608 and the guide grooves 609 and rotates synchronously.
[0026] The first helical blade 605 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 606, and the second helical blade 607 is fixedly connected to the second connecting rod 608. The first helical blade 605 is connected to the bottom of the first connecting rod 606, and the second helical blade 607 is connected to the top of the second connecting rod 608. The first helical blade 605 and the second helical blade 607 have the same helical amplitude, and the inner edge of the first helical blade 605 matches the outer edge of the second helical blade 607.
[0027] Specifically, the inner rod 604 is moved up and down by the telescopic cylinder 5, enabling flexible switching between mixing and discharging modes. In mixing mode, the inner rod 604 moves down, causing the first spiral blade 605 and the second spiral blade 607 to misalign. During rotation, complex turbulence is generated through different spiral structures, enhancing the shearing and convection of the raw materials and improving the uniformity of mixing. In discharging mode, the inner rod 604 moves up, causing the two spiral blades to combine into an integral conveying structure. During rotation, a continuous spiral channel is formed, and the spiral thrust actively pushes the lubricating grease, avoiding the stagnation or blockage caused by traditional gravity discharge and shortening the discharge time. The mixing and discharging functions are realized simultaneously, reducing the complexity and cost of the production line. The mixing and discharging components are integrated inside the mixing vessel, and the transmission components (gear motor 2 and telescopic cylinder 5) are installed at the top and bottom of the vessel body, resulting in a compact structure suitable for the spatial layout of industrial production lines.
[0028] The working principle of the above is as follows: When processing grease, the material is put into the mixing vessel 1 through the grease material inlet 3. The output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 5 retracts, thereby pulling the inner rod 604 downward, causing the first spiral blade 605 and the second spiral blade 607 to misalign. At this time, the mixing and discharging assembly 6 is driven to rotate by the reduction motor 2 to mix the raw materials inside the mixing vessel 1. When discharging grease, the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder 5 extends, thereby pushing the inner rod 604 upward, causing the first spiral blade 605 and the second spiral blade 607 to engage. At this time, the mixing and discharging assembly 6 is driven to rotate by the reduction motor 2. The engaged first spiral blade 605 and the second spiral blade 607 form a spiral conveyor blade, providing a certain thrust assistance during the discharge process and driving active discharge.
