Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mud storage technology, and specifically to a mud storage device. Background Technology
[0002] In the ceramics production process, one step involves pumping the processed slurry into a storage tank for buffering and storage. The slurry is then pumped out of the storage tank for the next processing stage. Currently, each support leg of the slurry storage tank is equipped with a pressure sensor, which is electrically connected to a controller. By sensing the weight of the storage tank through multiple pressure sensors, the controller can automatically control the pump to add the processed slurry into the storage tank.
[0003] However, when repairing or replacing a damaged pressure sensor, external tools must be used to maintain the balance of the storage tank before the damaged pressure sensor can be disassembled. Because the pressure sensor is pressed down by the support feet of the storage tank, the friction on the surface of the pressure sensor is increased, making it more difficult to disassemble the pressure sensor. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to design a mud storage device that can solve the problem mentioned in the background art of the laborious disassembly of the pressure sensor of the storage tank.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A mud storage device includes a tank body with several support legs fixedly connected to the side wall of the tank body. A base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of each support leg. A corresponding fixed frame is provided directly below each support leg. A pressure sensor and a support block are provided between the bottom of the base plate and the top of the fixed frame. A first manual drive mechanism and a second manual drive mechanism are respectively provided on the fixed frame. The top of the pressure sensor is engaged with the bottom of the base plate, and the top of the support block is aligned with the bottom of the base plate. The first manual drive mechanism and the second manual drive mechanism are used to drive the pressure sensor and the support block to move up and down.
[0007] Furthermore, a limit block is installed on the top of the pressure sensor, and a limit groove is provided on the bottom of the base plate to engage with the limit block.
[0008] Furthermore, the first manual drive mechanism includes a first screw and a support plate. The top of the fixed frame is provided with a first threaded hole that is threadedly engaged with the first screw. The top end of the first screw is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support plate. The bottom end of the first screw is fixedly connected with a first torque. The top of the support plate is provided with a placement groove adapted to the pressure sensor. The bottom of the support plate is fixedly connected with a limit rod. The top of the fixed frame is provided with a limit hole that slides with the limit rod.
[0009] Furthermore, a bearing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate, and the top end of the first screw is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing.
[0010] Furthermore, the second manual drive mechanism includes a second screw, the top of the fixed frame is provided with a second threaded hole that is threadedly engaged with the second screw, the top end of the second screw is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support block, and the bottom end of the second screw is fixedly connected to a second torque.
[0011] Furthermore, the tank is equipped with a stirring shaft inside, and several stirring blades are fixedly connected to the stirring shaft. A servo motor is installed on the top of the tank, and the top end of the stirring shaft passes through the top of the tank and is connected to the servo motor for transmission.
[0012] Furthermore, a coupling is fixedly connected to the top of the tank, the top end of the stirring shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the coupling, and the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to the input end of the coupling.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the tank is a conical structure, a mud conveying pipe is connected to the side wall of the tank, a mud discharge pipe is connected to the bottom of the tank, and a mud pump is installed on both the mud conveying pipe and the mud discharge pipe.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] First, the support block is raised by the second manual drive mechanism. After the top of the support block contacts the bottom of the base plate, the pressure sensor is lowered by the first manual drive mechanism. This allows the support block to maintain the balance of the tank while eliminating the pressure on the top of the pressure sensor, making it easier to disassemble the pressure sensor.

[0023] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0024] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a mud storage device includes a tank 1. Several support legs 2 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the tank 1. A base plate 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support legs 2. A corresponding fixing frame 4 is provided directly below each support leg 2. A pressure sensor 5 and a support block 6 are provided between the bottom of the base plate 3 and the top of the fixing frame 4. A limit block 7 is installed on the top of the pressure sensor 5. A limiting groove 8 that engages with the limit block 7 is provided on the bottom of the base plate 3, thereby limiting the support leg 2 and preventing the tank 1 from moving in the horizontal direction. The top of the support block 6 is aligned with the bottom of the base plate 3. A first manual drive mechanism and a second manual drive mechanism are respectively provided on the fixing frame 4.
[0025] The first manual drive mechanism includes a first screw 9 and a support plate 10. The top of the fixed frame 4 has a first threaded hole that engages with the first screw 9. A bearing 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 10. The top of the first screw 9 is fixedly connected to the inner ring of the bearing 15, allowing the top of the first screw 9 to rotate freely at the bottom of the support plate 10. A first knob 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first screw 9. Rotating the first knob 11 by hand rotates the first screw 9. The top of the support plate 10 has a placement slot 12 adapted to the pressure sensor 5 for pressure... Sensor 5 is positioned so that the limiting block 7 can be precisely aligned with the limiting groove 8; this causes the pressure sensor 5 to move up and down; the bottom of the support plate 10 is fixedly connected to a limiting rod 13, and the top of the fixed frame 4 is provided with a limiting hole 14 that slides with the limiting rod 13 to limit the limiting rod 13, so that the support plate 10 can only move in the up and down direction. When the first screw 9 rotates, it can drive the support plate 10 to move up and down, so that the top of the pressure sensor 5 contacts or moves away from the bottom of the base plate 3, making it convenient to disassemble the pressure sensor 5;
[0026] The second manual drive mechanism includes a second screw 16. The top of the fixed frame 4 is provided with a second threaded hole that is threaded to the second screw 16. The top end of the second screw 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support block 6. The bottom end of the second screw 16 is fixedly connected to a second knob 17. By turning the second knob 17 by hand, the second screw 16 is driven to rotate. The second screw 16 will drive the support block 6 to move up and down, so that the support block 6 contacts or moves away from the bottom of the bottom plate 3, which is convenient for maintaining the balance of the tank 1.
[0027] The tank body 1 is equipped with an agitator shaft 18, on which several agitator blades 19 are fixedly connected. A coupling 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank body 1. The top end of the agitator shaft 18 passes through the top of the tank body 1 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the coupling 21. A servo motor 20 is fixedly connected to the input end of the coupling 21. The servo motor 20 drives the agitator shaft 18 to rotate through the coupling 21, so that the agitator blades can agitate the mud in the tank body 1, which has the function of preventing the mud from solidifying. The bottom of the tank body 1 has a conical structure. A mud conveying pipe 22 is connected to the side wall of the tank body 1, and a mud discharge pipe 23 is connected to the bottom of the tank body 1. Both the mud conveying pipe 22 and the mud discharge pipe 23 are equipped with mud pumps, which inject mud into the tank body 1 through the mud conveying pipe 22 and discharge mud from the tank body 1 through the mud discharge pipe 23, respectively.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] like Figure 2 and 3As shown, when disassembling the pressure sensor 5 of the mud storage device, first, by manually rotating the second knob 17, the second screw 16 is rotated, which in turn causes the support block 6 to rise. After the top of the support block 6 contacts the bottom of the base plate 3, the first knob 11 is rotated by hand, which in turn causes the first screw 9 to rotate, which in turn causes the support plate 10 to fall, so that the top of the pressure sensor 5 is away from the bottom of the base plate 3. This eliminates the pressure on the top of the pressure sensor 5, allowing the pressure sensor 5 to be removed from the placement slot 12. This makes the disassembly of the pressure sensor 5 easier.
