Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ultralight clay production technology, specifically to an ultralight clay feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] Since its invention in 1956, Play-Doh has been a favorite toy for children. Initially, Play-Doh was only available in gray and white, but in the following years, it came in a variety of colors and scents, including glow-in-the-dark, gold, silver, shampoo-scented, and shaving lotion-scented varieties. Today, the materials and manufacturing process of Play-Doh have changed significantly. Unlike before, it can no longer be mixed, reused, or is relatively rough and hard. The upgraded version is called "colored clay," and the more high-end version is called "super light clay," with "Occam's Clay" being a representative example.

[0003] The production process of ultra-light clay requires mixing of raw materials. Some existing feeding devices for ultra-light clay mixing usually use screw conveyors for feeding. However, due to the characteristics of ultra-light clay raw materials, which have a certain degree of stickiness, they are easy to adhere to the inner wall of the screw conveyor during the feeding process. This not only makes them difficult to clean but also causes waste of raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0019] Example: Figure 1-5As shown, this utility model provides an ultralight clay feeding device, including a mixing tank 1 and a feeding mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a fixing frame 201, which is fixedly installed on one side of the mixing tank 1. Sliding blocks 204 are slidably installed on both sides of the fixing frame 201, and a material bucket 202 is rotatably installed between the two sliding blocks 204. Threaded rods 206 are rotatably installed on both sides of the fixing frame 201, and the threaded rods 206 are threadedly inserted into the corresponding sliding blocks 204. The bottom ends of the two threaded rods 206 are fixedly installed... The fixture 201 is equipped with a second bevel gear 211. A drive shaft 207 is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the fixture 201. Two symmetrically distributed first bevel gears 210 are fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 207, and the first bevel gears 210 mesh with their corresponding second bevel gears 211. A first motor 209 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the fixture 201, and the output end of the first motor 209 is fixedly connected to one end of the drive shaft 207. Drive gears 205 are fixedly mounted on both ends of the rotating shaft of the material hopper 202. Toothed plates 203 are fixedly installed on both sides, and the drive gear 205 meshes with the corresponding toothed plates 203. A push plate 212 is slidably installed inside the material barrel 202. A cylinder 208 is fixedly installed at one end of the material barrel 202, and the output end of the cylinder 208 is fixedly connected to the push plate 212. A stirring mechanism 3 is installed inside the mixing tank 1, and a discharge mechanism 4 is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 1. Raw materials for producing ultra-light clay can be placed into the material barrel 202. Then, the first motor 209 drives the drive shaft 207 to rotate. 207 drives the first bevel gear 210 to rotate, the first bevel gear 210 drives the second bevel gear 211 to rotate, the second bevel gear 211 drives the threaded rod 206 to rotate, the threaded rod 206 drives the slider 204 to slide and rise within the fixed frame 201, the slider 204 drives the material bucket 202 to rise, when the material bucket 202 rises to the top of the fixed frame 201, the drive gear 205 on the rotating shaft of the material bucket 202 meshes with the corresponding toothed plate 203, the drive gear 205 drives the material bucket 202 to rotate 90 degrees (e.g., Figure 1 As shown), the stroke of the toothed plate 203 can only make the drive gear 205 rotate 90 degrees. Then, the cylinder 208 drives the push plate 212 to slide inside the material barrel 202. The push plate 212 pushes the raw material in the material barrel 202 out and drops it into the mixing tank 1. The push plate 212 can also scrape off the raw material adhering to the inner wall of the material barrel 202. The mixing mechanism 3 is used for mixing. After the mixing is completed, the material is discharged quantitatively by the discharge mechanism 4.

[0020] Guide grooves 2011 are provided on both sides of the fixed frame 201, and the rotating shaft of the material bucket 202 can slide and rise along the guide grooves 2011. The guide grooves 2011 can also limit the lowest position of the material bucket 202 to prevent the material bucket 202 from falling too low and pressing on the drive shaft 207.

[0021] The stirring mechanism 3 includes a stirring paddle 301, which is rotatably installed inside the stirring tank 1. A second motor 302 is fixedly installed at the top of the stirring tank 1, and the output end of the second motor 302 is fixedly connected to the top of the stirring paddle 301. The second motor 302 drives the stirring paddle 301 to rotate, thereby stirring the raw materials in the stirring tank 1.

[0022] The discharge mechanism 4 includes a sleeve 401, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 1 and communicates with the inside of the mixing tank 1. A discharge pipe 404 is fixedly installed at the bottom of one end of the sleeve 401 and communicates with the inside of the sleeve 401. An auger blade 402 is rotatably installed inside the sleeve 401. A third motor 403 is fixedly installed at one end of the sleeve 401 and the output end of the third motor 403 is fixedly connected to one end of the auger blade 402. After mixing is completed, the third motor 403 drives the auger blade 402 to rotate inside the sleeve 401, thereby discharging the material in the mixing tank 1 through the sleeve 401 and the discharge pipe 404.

[0023] A ladder 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the mixing tank 1, which allows people to climb to the top of the mixing tank 1, facilitating the maintenance of the internal structure and the cleaning of the interior of the mixing tank 1.

[0024] Working Principle: In use, the raw materials for producing ultra-light clay are placed into the material bucket 202. Then, the first motor 209 drives the drive shaft 207 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 210 to rotate. The first bevel gear 210 drives the second bevel gear 211 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded rod 206 to rotate. The threaded rod 206 causes the slider 204 to slide and rise within the fixed frame 201. The slider 204 then raises the material bucket 202. When the material bucket 202 reaches the top of the fixed frame 201, the drive gear 205 on the shaft of the material bucket 202 meshes with the corresponding toothed plate 203, causing the material bucket 202 to rotate 90 degrees (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown), then the cylinder 208 drives the push plate 212 to slide inside the material bucket 202. The push plate 212 pushes the raw material in the material bucket 202 out and drops it into the mixing tank 1. The push plate 212 can also scrape off the raw material adhering to the inner wall of the material bucket 202.

[0025] The second motor 302 drives the stirring paddle 301 to rotate, stirring the raw materials in the mixing tank 1. After stirring, the third motor 403 drives the auger blade 402 to rotate inside the sleeve 401, so that the material in the mixing tank 1 can be discharged quantitatively through the sleeve 401 and the discharge pipe 404.
