The feeding device is particularly important in the production of polyurethane prepolymer. It must meet the requirements of accurate feeding, sealing and moisture protection, and uniform mixing, which directly affects product quality and production safety.

[0052] To facilitate disassembly of the cleaning mechanism 4, in an optional embodiment, the insert 8 is secured by a pin 405 and a slot 408.

[0053] In this embodiment, the insert block 8 is fixed by the pin 405 and the slot 408. When the cleaning mechanism 4 needs to be disassembled, simply pull the pull plate 407 manually. The pull plate 407 moves the pin 405, and the pin 405 can be disengaged from the insert block 8. At this time, the insert block 8 can be released from its fixed position, and the cleaning mechanism 4 can be disassembled.

[0054] Combining the above solutions:

[0055] Furthermore:

[0056] like Figures 6 to 7 As shown;

[0057] In an optional embodiment, to enable the pin 405 to automatically reset, one end of the tension spring 406 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing block 404, and the other end of the tension spring 406 is fixedly connected to the side of the pull plate 407.

[0058] In this embodiment: one end of the tension spring 406 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing block 404, and the other end of the tension spring 406 is fixedly connected to the side of the pull plate 407. When installing the cleaning mechanism 4, simply insert the insert block 8 into the slot 408, and then release the hand that pulls the pull plate 407. Under the action of the tension spring 406 itself, the pin 405 can be inserted into the insert block 8 to fix it.

[0059] Combining the above solutions:

[0060] Furthermore:

[0061] like Figures 6 to 7 As shown;

[0062] To facilitate pulling the pull plate 407, in an optional embodiment, the surface of the pull plate 407 is provided with a groove 409, which is arc-shaped.

[0063] In this embodiment, a groove 409 is formed on the surface of the pull plate 407, and the groove 409 is arc-shaped. When the pull plate 407 is pulled, the hand can be inserted into the groove 409, which makes it convenient to pull the pull plate 407 and can improve the efficiency of installation and disassembly to a certain extent.

[0064] Combining the above solutions:

[0065] Furthermore:

[0066] like Figure 6 As shown;

[0067] To facilitate the handling of the circular plate 401, in an optional embodiment, two sets of handles 11 are installed on the top surface of the circular plate 401, and the two sets of handles 11 are symmetrically installed on the top surface of the circular plate 401.

[0068] In this embodiment, two sets of handles 11 are installed on the top surface of the circular plate 401. After the circular plate 401 is disassembled, the circular plate 401 can be lifted by the handles 11 to easily remove the cleaning brush 402 from the tank 1.

[0069] Combining the above solutions:

[0070] Furthermore:

[0071] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown;

[0072] To improve the fixing effect of the feeding box 2, in an optional embodiment, a reinforcing rib 12 is installed between the feeding box 2 and the tank body 1.

[0073] In this embodiment, installing reinforcing ribs 12 between the feeding box 2 and the tank body 1 can improve the stability of the feeding box 2.

[0074] Working principle: During use, the required reagents are poured into the feeding box 2, and then the motor 5 is activated. The motor 5 drives the stirring rod 6 to rotate, and at the same time, the stirring rod 6 drives the top cover 7 to rotate. Since the top surface of the top cover 7 is equipped with the insert block 8, and the insert block 8 is fixed in the slot 408, and the locking block 403 is engaged in the slot 9, the rotation of the top cover 7 drives the circular plate 401 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the circular plate 401 drives the cleaning brush 402 on its bottom surface to rotate in the annular groove 10. The cleaning brush 402 can clean the inner wall of the tank 1. When it is necessary to clean the cleaning brush 402, the pull plate 407 is manually pulled. The pull plate 407 drives the pin 405 to move, and the pin 405 gradually disengages from the insert block 8. At the same time, the pull plate 407... The tension spring 406 is stretched until the pin 405 is completely disengaged from the insert block 8. At this time, the insert block 8 can be released from its limit. By pulling the handle 11, the handle 11 moves the circular plate 401. The circular plate 401 then moves the cleaning brush 402 out of the tank 1. The cleaning brush 402 can then be cleaned. After cleaning, the cleaning brush 402 is inserted into the tank 1 through the annular groove 10. The locking block 403 and the locking groove 9 are aligned, and the insert block 8 is inserted into the slot 408. Then the pull plate 407 is released. Due to the tension of the tension spring 406, the pull plate 407 is moved. At the same time, the pull plate 407 moves the pin 405 until the pin 405 passes through the insert block 8. At this time, the circular plate 401 can be fixed above the top cover 7.

[0075] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
