[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This utility model uses a cleaning mechanism to clean the interior of the mixing tank body. Existing mixing tank bodies are not convenient to clean, so improvements are needed. First, the material in the mixing tank body is emptied, collected using cooling water, and then transferred back to the mixing tank body for cleaning. First, the first flange and the second flange are connected. Then, the water outlet of the hose is moved into the inside of the water collection frame.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2A mixing tank for easy-to-clean polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheathing material includes: a mixing tank body 1, a support frame 3, a cooling pump 8, and a coil 9. An electrical control box 2 is mounted on the outer wall of the mixing tank body 1. The support frame 3 is located at the bottom of the mixing tank body 1. A mixing motor 4 is mounted on the top of the mixing tank body 1. A mixing shaft 5 is mounted on the output end of the mixing motor 4. A feed chute 6 is provided on the top of the mixing tank body 1. A hinged sealing cover 7 is mounted on the top of the mixing tank body 1. A cooling coil 9 is mounted on the outer wall of the mixing tank body 1. The outlet of the cooling pump 8 is equipped with a coil 9, which is located inside the mixing tank body 1. A discharge pipe 10 is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank body 1, and a first solenoid valve 11 is installed on the inner wall of the discharge pipe 10. A heating component 12 is installed on the inner wall of the mixing tank body 1. According to the formula ratio, PVC resin, plasticizer (such as DOP), stabilizer (such as calcium-zinc stabilizer), filler (such as calcium carbonate), and other raw materials are weighed. The hinged sealing cover 7 is opened, and solid and liquid raw materials are added sequentially to the mixture. In the mixing tank body 1, the hinge sealing cover 7 is closed, and the mixing motor 4 is started, causing the mixing shaft 5 to rotate, so that the raw materials are initially dispersed. The plasticizer is fully penetrated into the PVC resin by using shear force. Then, the heating component 12 (electric heating wire) is started. The mixing tank body 1 is equipped with a temperature sensor, and the heating component 12 is set to a heating temperature of 160-180℃. The mixture is continuously stirred and the temperature is monitored. When the material reaches the plasticizing temperature, it is maintained for 10-15 minutes to ensure complete plasticization. The heating component 12 is then turned off, and the cooling pump 8 is started. The water inlet of the cooling pump 8 is connected to the external cooling water and the cooling water is circulated through the coil 9, thereby absorbing heat in the mixing tank body 1. The water outlet of the coil 9 is located outside the mixing tank body 1, and the coil 9 is located behind the mixing shaft 5, so that the mixing shaft 5 will not touch the coil 9 when it rotates. Then, the material temperature is reduced to 50-80℃, and the first solenoid valve 11 is opened to discharge the plasticized PVC sheath material through the discharge pipe 10.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3The mixing tank body 1 has a cleaning mechanism on its outer wall for cleaning the interior of the mixing tank body 1. The cleaning mechanism includes a first flange 13, a second flange 14, and a hose 15. The first flange 13 is installed on the outer wall of the coil 9, and the hose 15 is installed on the outer wall of the first flange 13. The second flange 14 is installed on the outer wall of the hose 15. A water collection frame 16 is installed on the outer wall of the support frame 3, and a cleaning water pump 17 is installed on the outer wall of the water collection frame 16. The inlet end of the cleaning water pump 17 extends into the interior of the water collection frame 16, and a stainless steel pipe 18 is installed on the outlet end of the cleaning water pump 17. One end of the stainless steel pipe 18 extends into the interior of the mixing tank body 1, and a second solenoid valve 19 is installed on the inner wall of the stainless steel pipe 18. The existing mixing tank body 1 cannot easily access the interior of the mixing tank body 1. The material in the mixing tank body 1 is first emptied, collected using cooling water, and then transferred back to the mixing tank body 1 for cleaning. First, the first flange 13 and the second flange 14 are connected. Then, the water outlet of the hose 15 is moved into the water collection frame 16. When the water collection frame 16 is full, the hose 15 is removed from the water collection frame 16 and placed into another collection container. Then, the cleaning water pump 17 is activated, and the second solenoid valve 19 is activated, allowing the stainless steel pipe 18 to circulate while the discharge pipe 10 is closed. Clean water is then injected into the mixing tank body 1. Then, the mixing shaft 5 rotates and stirs for 10-20 minutes to clean the mixing tank body 1, and the cleaned water is discharged through the discharge pipe 10.

[0028] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The mixing tank body 1 has an auxiliary mechanism on its top. This mechanism facilitates the addition of chemicals during cleaning of the interior of the mixing tank body 1. The auxiliary mechanism includes a chemical tank 20, a dispensing pipe 22, and a third solenoid valve 23. The chemical tank 20 is located on the top of the mixing tank body 1. A chemical inlet trough 21 is located on the top of the chemical tank 20. A dispensing pipe 22 is installed at the bottom of the chemical tank 20, with one end extending into the interior of the mixing tank body 1 and communicating with the interior of the chemical tank 20. The third solenoid valve 23 is installed on the inner wall of the dispensing pipe 22. An inclined plate 26 is installed on the inner wall of the chemical tank 20. A fitting groove 24 is provided on the inner wall of the mixing tank body 1. Equipped with a rubber sealing ring 25, cleaning with only water is not efficient enough, so a special cleaning agent (such as water-based or solvent-based, selected according to the PVC formula) needs to be added. The solution is added to the solution tank 20 through the inlet tank 21 and the solution tank 20 is equipped with a scale on the outside. Then, the solution is transported to the outlet pipe 22 through the inclined plate 26. Then, the third solenoid valve 23 is activated to allow the flow inside the outlet pipe 22, and the solution is transported to the mixing tank body 1. Then, the solution is added to the water and stirred for 15-20 minutes to fully dissolve the residue. Finally, the water after cleaning is discharged, which facilitates the cleaning of the mixing tank body 1.

[0029] Working principle: Weigh PVC resin, plasticizer (such as DOP), stabilizer (such as calcium zinc stabilizer), filler (such as calcium carbonate), and other raw materials according to the formula ratio. Open the hinged sealing cover 7 and add solid and liquid raw materials sequentially into the mixing tank body 1. Close the hinged sealing cover 7 and start the mixing motor 4, causing the mixing shaft 5 to rotate, initially dispersing the raw materials. Shear force is used to ensure the plasticizer fully penetrates the PVC resin. Subsequently, the heating component 12 (electric heating wire) is activated. A temperature sensor is installed inside the mixing tank body 1, and the heating component 12 is set to a temperature of 160-180℃. Continuous stirring and temperature monitoring are maintained. Once the material reaches the plasticizing temperature, it is kept at 10- After 15 minutes to ensure complete plasticization, the heating component 12 is turned off, and the cooling pump 8 is started. The inlet of the cooling pump 8 is connected to the external cooling water and circulates the cooling water through the coil 9, thereby absorbing heat from the mixing tank body 1. The outlet of the coil 9 is located outside the mixing tank body 1, and the coil 9 is located behind the mixing shaft 5, so that the mixing shaft 5 will not touch the coil 9 when it rotates. Then, the material temperature is reduced to 50-80℃, and the first solenoid valve 11 is opened to discharge the plasticized PVC sheath material through the discharge pipe 10. The existing mixing tank body 1 is not easy to clean, so it needs to be improved. First, the material in the mixing tank body 1 is discharged... The mixture is initially empty, then collected using cooling water and transferred back to the mixing tank body 1 for cleaning. First, the first flange 13 and the second flange 14 are connected. Then, the outlet end of the hose 15 is moved into the water collection frame 16. Once the water collection frame 16 is full, the hose 15 is removed from the frame and placed into another collection container. Next, the cleaning water pump 17 operates, and the second solenoid valve 19 operates, allowing water to flow through the stainless steel pipe 18 while the discharge pipe 10 is closed. Clean water is then injected into the mixing tank body 1. The mixing shaft 5 then rotates and stirs for 10-20 minutes to clean the mixing tank body 1. The cleaned water is then discharged through the discharge pipe. The cleaning efficiency of simply rinsing with water after the discharge from pipe 10 is not high, so a special cleaning agent (such as water-based or solvent-based, depending on the PVC formula) needs to be added. The cleaning solution is added to the cleaning tank 20 through the inlet tank 21 and the cleaning tank 20 is equipped with a scale on the outside. Then, the cleaning solution is transported to the outlet pipe 22 through the inclined plate 26. Then, the third solenoid valve 23 is activated to allow the internal flow of the outlet pipe 22, and the cleaning solution is transported to the mixing tank body 1. The cleaning solution is then added to the water and stirred for 15-20 minutes to fully dissolve the residue. Finally, the water after cleaning is discharged, which facilitates the cleaning of the mixing tank body 1.

[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
