[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a tanning device for preventing leather entanglement, comprising a support platform 1, with support frames 101 fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the support platform 1. A tanning drum 2 is rotatably connected between the two support frames 101. Dividing plates 201 are fixedly connected to both sides of the center of the interior of the tanning drum 2. The two dividing plates 201 divide the interior of the tanning drum 2, separating a large amount of leather into three equal parts inside the tanning drum 2, preventing the leather from entangled due to excessive accumulation inside the tanning drum 2. Multiple anti-entanglement columns 202 are arrayed on the inner wall of the tanning drum 2. The anti-entanglement columns 202 effectively break the adhesion between leather fibers by physically separating the leather, dynamically disturbing its movement path, and optimizing the flow of the tanning liquor, preventing entanglement and ensuring uniform tanning. A support frame is fixedly connected to the center of the tanning drum 2. The shaft tube 3 has multiple outlet holes 301 evenly spaced on its outer wall and inside the tanning drum 2. A drive motor 105 is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of a support frame 101. One end of the support shaft tube 3 passes through the support frame 101 on one side and is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 105 via a coupling. The upper outer side of the other support frame 101 is fixedly connected to a tanning agent delivery pipe 106. The other end of the support shaft tube 3 passes through the support frame 101 on the other side and is connected to the tanning agent delivery pipe 106 via a rotary joint 107. The drive motor 105 drives the support shaft tube 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the tanning drum 2 to rotate. When the tanning drum 2 rotates, the tanning agent is delivered into the support shaft tube 3 through the tanning agent delivery pipe 106, so that the tanning agent enters the tanning drum 2 from the multiple outlet holes 301 on the support shaft tube 3.

[0024] Please see Figure 3 The tanning drum 2 has a material feeding opening 203 in the middle of its front end face. An arc-shaped sealing plate 4 is rotatably connected to the outside of the material feeding opening 203. The lower end of the arc-shaped sealing plate 4 is rotatably connected to the tanning drum 2 through a rotating shaft 401. The arc-shaped sealing plate 4 is opened by rotating the shaft 401, so that the leather can be put into the tanning drum 2 through the material feeding opening 203. After the leather is put in, the arc-shaped sealing plate 4 is closed again.

[0025] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4A sealing ring 406 is provided between the rear end edge of the arc-shaped sealing plate 4 and the front end of the tanning drum 2. The sealing ring 406 is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped sealing plate 4. Internally threaded posts 204 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper middle part of the material feeding opening 203 on the front end of the tanning drum 2. Connecting plates 402 are fixedly connected to both sides of the upper middle part of the arc-shaped sealing plate 4. Handwheels 403 are rotatably connected to the front ends of both connecting plates 402. A screw 404 is fixedly connected to the middle rear end of the handwheel 403. A tightening ring 405 is fixedly connected to the middle of 404. The rear ends of the two screws 404 pass through the two connecting plates 402 and are inserted into the two internal threaded posts 204 and are threadedly connected and fixed to the internal threaded posts 204. When the screws 404 are threadedly connected to the internal threaded posts 204, the tightening ring 405 is driven to squeeze the connecting plate 402, so that the connecting plate 402 drives the arc-shaped sealing plate 4 to come into contact with the front end of the tanning drum 2 and squeeze the sealing ring 406 to close the material feeding and discharging opening 203.

[0026] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A receiving pool 103 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support platform 1 between the two support frames 101. A drain outlet 104 is provided at the rear end of the receiving pool 103. After the leather tanning is completed, the screw 404 is rotated by the handwheel 403 to disengage from the internal threaded column 204, and the arc-shaped sealing plate 4 can be opened. By rotating the tanning drum 2, the material pick-up and drop-off opening 203 is made to drop the leather into the receiving pool 103 vertically downwards, and it can be picked up manually.

[0027] Working Principle: In operation, first, rotate the screw 404 using the handwheel 403 to disengage it from the internal threaded post 204. Then, rotate the arc-shaped sealing plate 4 downwards to open the material inlet / outlet opening 203. Place the leather to be tanned in layers into the three chambers formed by the two partition plates 201 inside the tanning drum 2. Close the arc-shaped sealing plate 4 and lock it using the handwheel 403. Start the drive motor 105 to rotate the support shaft tube 3 and the tanning drum 2. Simultaneously, inject the tanning agent into the support shaft tube 3 through the tanning agent delivery pipe 106. The tanning liquid is evenly sprayed onto the leather through the outlet hole 301. During drum rotation, the anti-tangling posts 202 on the inner wall continuously agitate the leather, effectively preventing tangling and ensuring even penetration of the tanning liquid. After tanning is complete, stop the drive motor 105, open the arc-shaped sealing plate 4, and rotate the material inlet / outlet opening 203 to the lower position. The leather automatically falls into the receiving pool 103 for collection. Finally, drain the residual tanning liquid through the drain outlet 104, completing the entire tanning process.

[0028] 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. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
