Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material loading and unloading conveying equipment in factories, and in particular to a crystallization silo with a stirring mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In factory processing and production, hoppers are needed to transport materials. Due to the presence of some special materials, such as those with low crystallization temperatures, it is necessary to increase the conveying temperature to improve the smoothness of the conveying process. If conveyed at room temperature, crystallization may occur, leading to problems with normal conveying.
[0003] Meanwhile, there are also some situations in the current production where there are not single materials. For example, multiple materials are mixed and then fed through a hopper. However, since the properties of the mixed materials need to be further verified, it is necessary to increase the conveying temperature during the processing in the factory to ensure smooth conveying and avoid crystallization of some materials, which could lead to changes in the proportion or blockage of the equipment and cause unnecessary trouble.
[0004] In summary, the hoppers currently on the market still require opening to clear blockages during use, which wastes time and is detrimental to continuous factory production. Utility Model Content
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a crystallization silo with a stirring mechanism.
[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is: a crystallization silo with a stirring mechanism, comprising:
[0007] A frame, wherein the frame is arranged vertically;
[0008] The hopper is mounted on the frame and is arranged vertically through the frame. The upper end of the hopper is the feed end, and the lower end of the hopper is the discharge end.
[0009] A mixing assembly, wherein the mixing center axis of the mixing assembly is vertically positioned at the center of the hopper; and
[0010] The discharge assembly, disposed at the discharge end of the hopper, comprises:
[0011] A discharge base, wherein the discharge base is connected to the discharge end;
[0012] At least one discharge reinforcing rib is provided and fixedly located on the inner wall of the discharge base;
[0013] The stirring reinforcing rib is set on the stirring reinforcing shaft. When an external force is applied, the stirring reinforcing rib rotates. The stirring reinforcing rib and the discharge reinforcing rib are correspondingly set and there is a gap between them. The gap is a material flow channel.
[0014] The discharge channel is connected to the outside of the discharge base.
[0015] Furthermore, two discharge channels are provided, located on opposite sides. The use of two discharge channels ensures stable and smooth material transport during the conveying process.
[0016] Furthermore, four discharge reinforcing ribs are provided and evenly distributed on the inner wall of the discharge base, spaced at 90-degree intervals.
[0017] Furthermore, the stirring reinforcing ribs are evenly arranged in three serrated shapes.
[0018] Furthermore, the stirring reinforcing shaft and the stirring center shaft are set to be the same. That is, the stirring reinforcing shaft is located below the stirring center shaft, enabling the rotation of the stirring reinforcing ribs and thus processing the crystalline material.
[0019] Furthermore, a bearing housing is provided on the lower side of the stirring center shaft, and the bearing housing is located below the discharge base. Simultaneously, a sealed arrangement is provided between the bearing housing and the discharge base to ensure stable operation between the two.
[0020] Furthermore, a cleaning through hole is provided on the outer side of the discharge base. This allows for timely maintenance should any problems occur later.
[0021] Furthermore, the mixing assembly also includes a mixing motor located above the hopper. The output shaft of the mixing motor is connected to a central mixing shaft, on which at least one mixing element is mounted. Generally, a coupling is installed at the upper end of the central mixing shaft, connecting it to a drive source. This ensures the stable operation of the drive source, which is typically a motor. A cover plate is also installed above the hopper, with the drive source mounted on its upper side. Its working end passes through the cover plate and connects to the central mixing shaft. This structural design facilitates subsequent mixing functions, especially when changing between different materials, making the process more convenient and faster.
[0022] Furthermore, it also includes a flow guide, which is located on the stirring center shaft and above the discharge end, with the lower end of the flow guide being larger than the discharge hole of the discharge end. Furthermore, the flow guide is inclined around its perimeter and gradually increases in size from top to bottom. This inclined arrangement of the flow guide allows the material to fall synchronously from top to bottom, ensuring uniform material movement.
[0023] Furthermore, the sidewall of the hopper is double-layered, with insulation cotton placed between the two layers. The thickness of the insulation cotton is 5-10 cm. The insulation cotton ensures the overall stability of the material inside the hopper and prevents crystallization caused by low temperatures.
[0024] Furthermore, the hopper includes a straight section and a conical section, with the conical section gradually tapering from top to bottom. The conical section ensures smooth material flow.
[0025] Furthermore, at least two stirring components are provided, and they are distributed vertically and staggered when viewed from above.
[0026] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are: by setting a discharge component in the hopper, the uniform mixing of materials inside the hopper is ensured while avoiding crystallization of materials caused by temperature drop during the discharge stage. This discharge component is particularly effective for temperature-sensitive materials or the mixing of different materials. When changing to other materials later, cleaning is also simpler and more convenient, ensuring continuous processing in the factory and reducing the factory's processing costs.
