One side of the rotating tank 205 is connected to the output end of the motor 209. Liquid inlet pipes 210 are connected to both ends of the connecting groove 206. The output end of the motor 209 is fitted into the rotating groove 211. The connection is achieved through the outer frame 201, outer tank 202, threaded groove 203, top cover 204, rotating tank 205, and connecting groove 206. The arrangement of the groove 206, bolt 207, feed pipe 208, motor 209, liquid inlet pipe 210, and rotating groove 211, in use, with the support plate 1 serving as the basic support platform, firstly, the feed pipe 208 is used to input iron balls and materials into the rotating tank 205. After the materials are added, the threaded structure on the feed pipe 208 facilitates the sealing of the rotating tank 205. Then, the motor 209 is started, and the motor 209 drives the rotating tank 205 to rotate inside the outer tank 202 through the output shaft, thereby ensuring the iron balls and materials... During normal grinding, the externally stored liquid nitrogen is connected to the outer tank 202 through the threaded structure on the liquid inlet pipe 210, and then the liquid nitrogen is input into the connecting groove 206, thereby effectively reducing the heat generated by the rotating tank 205 during grinding. Finally, after grinding is completed, first loosen the bolts 207 to loosen the outer frame 201 and the top cover 204, then open the top cover 204, and then loosen and disassemble the connection between the motor 209 and the rotating tank 205, so that the outer tank 202 and the rotating tank 205 can be disassembled together for cleaning.

[0024] Furthermore, the two ends of the rotating tank 205 are fitted into the rotating groove 211. The two ends of the rotating groove 211 are respectively provided on the outer frame 201 and the top cover 204. Through the setting of the rotating groove 211, the rotating groove 211 is set on the outer frame 201 and the top cover 204, and its two ends are respectively fitted into the two ends of the rotating tank 205, and cooperate with the output end of the motor 209 to form a stable rotation guide structure, ensuring that the rotating tank 205 rotates smoothly in the outer tank body 202, while limiting its axial and radial offset, and improving the reliability and accuracy of the overall operation.

[0025] Furthermore, the rotating tank 205 forms a mutually rotating structure with the rotating groove 211 via the motor 209, and the rotating tank 205 forms a mutually rotating structure with the outer tank body 202 via the motor 209. With the setting of the rotating tank 205, the rotating tank 205 is fitted into the outer tank body 202 and supported by the rotating groove 211. One side of it is connected to the motor 209, so that it can rotate in the outer tank body 202 after power input, playing a core role in material grinding, full mixing or reaction, and is the main working part of the mechanism.

[0026] Furthermore, one end of bolt 207 is threaded into threaded groove 203. Top cover 204 is fixed to outer frame 201 by bolt 207. Through the setting of bolt 207, bolt 207 is threaded into threaded groove 203 on outer frame 201 to fix top cover 204, so that top cover 204 is firmly installed on outer frame 201, preventing loosening or falling off during operation, ensuring safe operation of rotating tank 205. Bolt 207 is also easy to disassemble and maintain, improving the stability and operability of combined mechanism 2, and is an important fastener for connecting and fixing top cover 204.

[0027] Furthermore, two sets of feed pipes 208 are provided, which are symmetrically distributed along the rotating tank 205. The feed pipes 208 are located at both ends of the rotating tank 205 and are symmetrically distributed. They are used to convey materials into the rotating tank 205 and serve as the channel for materials to enter the mixing system. Their structure facilitates connection with external feeding devices. The top end is provided with a threaded structure to ensure a sealed and secure connection, ensuring continuous and uniform material input and providing a stable source of raw materials for subsequent mixing or reaction.

[0028] Furthermore, two sets of inlet pipes 210 are also provided. The inlet pipes 210 are located inside the feed pipe 208 and are symmetrically distributed along the outer tank 202. Through the arrangement of the inlet pipes 210, the inlet pipes 210 are located on both sides of the connecting groove 206, inside the feed pipe 208, and symmetrically distributed along the outer tank 202. They are used to uniformly introduce liquid nitrogen into the connecting groove 206 to ensure the normal operation of the cooling work. At the same time, the top of the pipe has a threaded structure, which facilitates the sealed connection with the external liquid supply system to ensure the continuity and stability of liquid nitrogen input. It is a key channel for realizing the participation of the liquid phase in the processing process.

[0029] Furthermore, the main body of the motor 209 is mounted on the outer frame 201, and the top cover 204 and the outer frame 201 form a mutually rotating structure. Through the arrangement of the top cover 204 and the motor 209, the motor 209 is mounted on the outer frame 201, and its output end is fitted into the rotating groove 211 and connected to the rotating tank 205, providing stable power to the rotating tank 205 to realize the grinding of materials in the tank. It is the driving core of the mechanism. At the same time, the top cover 204 is rotatably connected to the outer frame 201 and fixed to the threaded groove 203 by bolts 207, which is used to seal the top of the device, facilitate maintenance and sealing, and ensure the safe and reliable operation of the device.

[0030] Furthermore, both the feed pipe 208 and the liquid inlet pipe 210 have threaded structures at their top edges. These threaded structures allow for threaded connections with external materials or liquid supply devices, ensuring a tight seal at the interface and preventing material or liquid leakage. Simultaneously, this threaded structure facilitates quick disassembly and replacement of the pipes, improving equipment maintenance efficiency and ease of use. It is a crucial connection method for ensuring the safe and stable operation of the system.

[0031] Working principle: During use, the support plate 1 serves as the basic support platform. First, the iron balls and materials are fed into the rotating tank 205 through the feed pipe 208. After the materials are added, the threaded structure on the feed pipe 208 facilitates the sealing of the rotating tank 205. Then, the motor 209 is started, and the motor 209 drives the rotating tank 205 to rotate inside the outer tank 202 through the output shaft, thereby ensuring the normal grinding of the iron balls and materials. At the same time, the threaded structure on the liquid inlet pipe 210 connects the externally stored liquid nitrogen to the outer tank 202, thereby inputting liquid nitrogen into the connecting groove 206, which effectively reduces the heat generated by the rotating tank 205 during grinding. Finally, after grinding is completed, the bolts 207 are first loosened to loosen the outer frame 201 and the top cover 204, and then the top cover 204 is opened. After that, the connection between the motor 209 and the rotating tank 205 is loosened and disassembled, and the outer tank 202 and the rotating tank 205 can be disassembled together for cleaning.
