Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of plastic color mixing machine technology, and more specifically, to a mixing mechanism for a plastic color mixing machine. Background Technology

[0002] The plastics we commonly use are not a single component; they are formulated from many materials. High molecular polymers (or synthetic resins) are the main component of plastics. In addition, to improve the performance of plastics, various auxiliary materials are added to the polymer compounds, such as fillers, plasticizers, lubricants, stabilizers, colorants, and antistatic agents, to create high-performance plastics. A color mixing machine utilizes the high-speed rotation of vortex-like blades to cause plastic granules (or resin powder) to tumble, collide, and rub against each other, generating heat. This process mixes the materials while simultaneously causing moisture to evaporate rapidly from the exhaust pipe, achieving the purpose of drying.

[0003] In existing mixing mechanisms, materials are poured into the color mixing machine, and an external motor drives the stirring rod to mix the materials using the feeding blades. However, after the plastic granules heat up, they tend to stick to the inner wall of the mixing tank, making it difficult to completely discharge the mixed plastic granules.

[0004] The aforementioned mixing mechanism suffers from the problem of plastic particles adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank, which is difficult to remove and affects the normal discharge of materials by the operator, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the device. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, embodiments of this disclosure provide a mixing mechanism for a plastic color mixing machine, which solves the technical problem in the prior art where plastic particles adhere to the inner wall of the mixing tank and are difficult to remove, thus affecting the normal material discharge of the operator.

[0006] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a mixing mechanism for a plastic color mixing machine, which includes a processing tank, and further includes a transmission rod, a transmission motor, a first transmission gear, a second transmission gear, a first mixing plate, a second mixing plate, a feed pipe, an auxiliary mixing mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism;

[0007] The transmission rod is rotatably connected inside the processing barrel. The transmission motor is mounted on the upper surface of the processing barrel via a mounting bracket.

The first transmission gear and the second transmission gear mesh. The first mixing plate is mounted on the outer surface of the transmission rod, and a second mixing plate is mounted on the upper surface of the first mixing plate. The auxiliary mixing mechanism is disposed on the outer side of the first mixing plate, and the cleaning mechanism is disposed inside the auxiliary mixing mechanism. The feed pipe is connected to the upper surface of the processing barrel.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the mixing mechanism of the plastic color mixing machine of this utility model, in order to better mix the materials, the auxiliary mixing mechanism includes a connecting frame and a first cleaning plate, the connecting frame is installed on the outer side of the first mixing plate, and the first cleaning plate is installed on the outer side of the connecting frame.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the mixing mechanism of the plastic color mixing machine of this utility model, in order to better clean the inside of the processing tank, the cleaning mechanism includes a moving block, a connecting block, a cleaning block and a second cleaning plate. The moving block is slidably connected to the connecting frame through a moving groove. The connecting block is installed on the outer side of the moving block. The cleaning block is installed on the outer side of the connecting block and the second cleaning plate is installed on the outer side of the cleaning block.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the mixing mechanism of the plastic color mixing machine of this utility model, in order to facilitate the installation of the moving rod, a connecting pipe is installed on the upper surface of the connecting block, and the moving rod is threaded through the internal thread of the connecting pipe.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the mixing mechanism of the plastic color mixing machine of this utility model, in order to facilitate the operator in feeding materials, the outer surface of the moving rod is disposed inside the feed pipe, and a blocking frame is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the moving rod.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the mixing mechanism of the plastic color mixing machine of this utility model, in order to facilitate the operator's material discharge, the lower surface of the processing barrel is connected to a discharge frame, and the interior of the discharge frame is slidably connected to a first baffle plate.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the mixing mechanism of the plastic color mixing machine of this utility model, in order to prevent the first baffle plate from becoming loose during use, a fixing pin is threaded through the outer side of the discharge frame, and one end of the fixing pin is threaded through the discharge frame and threaded inside the first baffle plate.

[0024] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0025] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product.

[0027] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.

[0029] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, it illustrates the mixing mechanism of a plastic color mixing machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, which includes a processing tank 1, a transmission rod 2, a transmission motor 3, a first transmission gear 4, a second transmission gear 5, a first mixing plate 6, a second mixing plate 7, a feed pipe 9, an auxiliary mixing mechanism, and a cleaning mechanism.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the transmission rod 2 is rotatably connected inside the processing tank 1. The transmission motor 3 is mounted on the upper surface of the processing tank 1 via a mounting bracket. The transmission motor 3 is controlled to start and stop via an external single-control switch and requires an external power supply. The output end of the transmission motor 3 is equipped with a first transmission gear 4, and the top of the transmission rod 2 is equipped with a second transmission gear 5. The first transmission gear 4 and the second transmission gear 5 mesh. The first mixing plate 6 is mounted on the outer surface of the transmission rod 2, and the upper surface of the first mixing plate 6 is equipped with a second mixing plate 7. The auxiliary mixing mechanism is located on the outer side of the first mixing plate 6, and the cleaning mechanism is located inside the auxiliary mixing mechanism. The feed pipe 9 is connected to the upper surface of the processing tank 1. The feed pipe 9 serves as both a feeding pipe and an exhaust pipe.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, the auxiliary mixing mechanism includes a connecting frame 8 and a first cleaning plate 10. The connecting frame 8 is installed on the outer side of the first mixing plate 6, and the first cleaning plate 10 is installed on the outer side of the connecting frame 8. A magnet is provided on the top of the inner wall of the connecting frame 8.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning mechanism includes a moving block 11, a connecting block 12, a cleaning block 13, and a second cleaning plate 14. The moving block 11 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 8 via a moving groove. The initial state of the moving block 11 is at the top of the moving groove. The moving block 11 is attracted by a magnet. During the rotation of the first mixing plate 6, the moving block 11 will not be thrown out by centrifugal force, and when the operator feeds materials, the plastic particles will not fill the entire processing tank 1. The connecting block 12 is installed on the outer side of the moving block 11, the cleaning block 13 is installed on the outer side of the connecting block 12, and the second cleaning plate 14 is installed on the outer side of the cleaning block 13. During the downward movement of the cleaning block 13, it moves along the first cleaning plate 10 to clean the first cleaning plate 10. A connecting pipe 15 is installed on the upper surface of the connecting block 12. The initial position of the connecting pipe 15 is close to the inner wall of the top of the processing tank 1, so it is difficult for plastic particles to enter the interior of the connecting pipe 15 during the mixing process. A moving rod 16 is threaded through the interior of the connecting pipe 15. Figure 3 The state is fully expanded. During the mixing process of this device, the moving rod 16 is not connected to the inside of the connecting pipe 15. The outer surface of the moving rod 16 is set inside the feed pipe 9. The outer surface of the moving rod 16 is rotatably connected to the blocking frame 17.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, the lower surface of the processing tank 1 is connected to a discharge frame 18. A first baffle plate 19 is slidably connected inside the discharge frame 18. A fixing pin 20 is threaded through the outer side of the discharge frame 18. One end of the fixing pin 20 is threaded through the discharge frame 18 and threaded inside the first baffle plate 19. The first baffle plate 19 blocks the bottom of the discharge frame 18. A support rod 21 is installed on the upper surface of the first baffle plate 19. A second baffle plate 22 is installed at the top of the support rod 21. The second baffle plate 22 blocks the top of the discharge frame 18, so that the plastic particles inside the processing tank 1 will not leak out along the discharge frame 18 during the mixing process. The second baffle plate 22 is slidably connected inside the discharge frame 18.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a support leg is installed on the lower surface of the processing tank 1, and a support ring is installed on the lower surface of the support leg.

[0036] In this embodiment, plastic granules are poured into the processing tank 1 along the feed pipe 9. At this time, the connecting pipe 15 is not directly below the feed pipe 9, so the plastic granules directly enter the interior of the processing tank 1.

[0037] The drive motor 3 is started. The output end of the drive motor 3 rotates, which drives the first drive gear 4 to rotate. The first drive gear 4 rotates, which drives the second drive gear 5 to rotate. The second drive gear 5 rotates, which drives the first mixing plate 6 to rotate. The first mixing plate 6 rotates, which drives the second mixing plate 7 to rotate, thus mixing the plastic granules. During this process, the plastic granules roll, collide, rub, and generate heat, which causes the plastic granules to mix color while also causing water to be discharged from the feed pipe 9. The rotation of the first mixing plate 6 drives the connecting frame 8 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting frame 8 drives the first cleaning plate 10 to rotate. The rotation of the first cleaning plate 10 cleans the plastic granules adhering to the inner wall of the processing tank 1.

[0038] After mixing is complete, loosen the fixing pin 20 counterclockwise, manipulate the first baffle plate 19 to slide out along the inside of the discharge frame 18, so that the first baffle plate 19 moves downward and drives the support rod 21 to move downward, and the support rod 21 moves downward and drives the second baffle plate 22 to move downward, opening the discharge frame 18, and the material in the processing tank 1 is discharged along the discharge frame 18.

[0039] When the connecting pipe 15 is directly below the feed pipe 9, the operator inserts the moving rod 16 through the feed pipe 9 into the connecting pipe 15. The operator holds the blocking frame 17 and then tightens the moving rod 16 clockwise. The operator then moves the moving rod 16 downwards, causing the connecting pipe 15 to move downwards. The downward movement of the connecting pipe 15 causes the connecting block 12 to move downwards. The downward movement of the connecting block 12 causes the moving block 11 to move downwards along the inside of the connecting frame 8, causing the moving block 11 to detach from the magnet's attraction. The downward movement of the connecting block 12 causes the cleaning block 13 to move downwards. The cleaning block 13 moves downwards along the first cleaning plate 10, cleaning the surface of the first cleaning plate 10. The downward movement of the cleaning block 13 causes the second cleaning plate 14 to move downwards, cleaning a portion of the processing tank 1. The cleaned material is discharged along the discharge frame 18. Finally, the moving rod 16 moves downwards to... Figure 2 After the state shown, the blocking frame 17 contacts the top of the feed pipe 9 to prevent the moving rod 16 from falling into the processing tank 1;

[0040] When the connecting pipe 15 is not located directly below the feed pipe 9, the operator can manually rotate the second transmission gear 5 to move the connecting pipe 15 directly below the feed pipe 9 (since the transmission motor 3 has stopped rotating at this time, the operator can manually adjust the position of the connecting pipe 15 without damaging the transmission motor 3).

[0041] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
