Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of activated carbon mixing technology, and more specifically, to an activated carbon mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Activated carbon is a porous carbon material widely used in adsorption and purification due to its extremely large specific surface area and highly developed pore structure. It can effectively adsorb impurities and harmful substances in gases and liquids, thus finding important applications in environmental protection, chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and many other sectors.

[0003] Activated carbon blending refers to the process of mixing activated carbon with other materials, usually to enhance specific properties of the final product, such as adsorption capacity, mechanical strength, or other functionalities. This blending process is widely used in many fields, including air purification, water treatment, and catalyst preparation.

[0004] The material is fed into the mixing tank through the feed inlet. The stirring rack in the mixing tank stirs and mixes the material. However, stirring and mixing by the stirring rack alone cannot guarantee that the activated carbon and other materials can be fully mixed. Furthermore, the mixed material is inconvenient to remove completely from the mixing tank, which reduces the efficiency of the discharge process. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides an activated carbon mixing device to solve the technical problem mentioned in the background art that simply stirring and mixing by a stirring rack cannot guarantee that activated carbon and other materials can be fully mixed.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] An activated carbon mixing device includes a mixing tank with vertical plates on both the left and right sides. A first motor is mounted on the right end of the right vertical plate, and the output of the first motor passes through the right vertical plate and connects to the right end of the mixing tank. A lid is fitted on the left end of the mixing tank, and a second motor is mounted on the left end of the left vertical plate. A feed pipe is located on one side of the top of the mixing tank, and a control valve is mounted on the feed pipe. A stirring shaft is rotatably mounted on the lid, and the output of the second motor is connected to the left end of the stirring shaft. The stirring shaft is equipped with multiple sets of symmetrical stirring blades. A discharge port is connected to the right side of the bottom of the mixing tank, and a discharge plate is rotatably mounted on the discharge port.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that each of the two symmetrical sets of stirring blades is provided with a spiral guide frame at its outer end. The stirring shaft drives the multiple sets of stirring blades to rotate, and the multiple sets of stirring blades drive the multiple sets of spiral guide frames to rotate. The multiple sets of spiral guide frames promote the circulation of materials in the mixing tank. When the materials are discharged, the materials are driven to flow to the right under the action of the multiple sets of spiral guide frames, and the materials are discharged through the discharge port. This facilitates the movement of materials to the right and discharges them through the discharge port, reducing material residue.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that three sets of hooks are evenly arranged on the outer end of the bucket lid, and three sets of latches are evenly arranged on the left side of the outer end of the mixing bucket. The three sets of hooks and the three sets of latches are engaged in a locking manner. A fixing block is provided on the right end of the mixing bucket, and a slot is provided on the left end of the fixing block. The right end of the stirring shaft is engaged in a locking manner with the slot. When it is necessary to clean the stirring shaft, multiple sets of stirring blades, and multiple sets of spiral guide frames, the three sets of latches and the three sets of hooks are separated, and then the mixing bucket is separated from the bucket lid, thereby exposing the stirring shaft, multiple sets of stirring blades, and multiple sets of spiral guide frames to the outside of the mixing bucket. Then, the stirring shaft, multiple sets of stirring blades, multiple sets of spiral guide frames, and the inside of the mixing bucket are cleaned, which facilitates the cleaning of the stirring shaft, multiple sets of stirring blades, multiple sets of spiral guide frames, and the inside of the mixing bucket.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: two sets of L-shaped plates are provided at the front end of the discharge plate; two sets of fixing brackets are provided on the lower right side of the front end of the mixing tank; both sets of fixing brackets are provided with slots; both sets of L-shaped plates are provided with through holes at their upper parts; a slot is provided on the lower right side of the front end of the mixing tank; and cylinders are provided at the front end of both sets of fixing brackets. The output ends of the two sets of cylinders pass through the two sets of fixing brackets and the two sets of through holes, and engage with the two sets of slots to close the discharge plate in the mixing tank. At the discharge port of the mixing bucket, two sets of L-shaped plates extend into the slots of two sets of fixing frames. Then, two sets of cylinders are opened, and the output ends of the two sets of cylinders pass through the perforations of the two sets of L-shaped plates and engage with the slots of the mixing bucket to fix the two sets of L-shaped plates. When unloading is required, the two sets of cylinders are opened in the reverse direction, and the output ends of the two sets of cylinders separate from the mixing bucket and the two sets of L-shaped plates. The discharge plate then opens automatically. By setting the discharge plate, the discharge outlet of the mixing bucket can be maximized, thereby accelerating the discharge speed of the material.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that three sets of arc-shaped sliders are provided on the left end of the bucket lid, and an annular groove is provided on the right end of the left vertical plate. The three sets of arc-shaped sliders slide in the annular groove. When the mixing bucket rotates, the three sets of arc-shaped sliders slide in the annular groove of the left vertical plate, which can ensure the stability of the mixing bucket when it rotates as a whole.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that two sets of bases are provided below the mixing barrel, and each set of bases is provided with a mounting frame at its top. Rollers are rotatably installed in each set of mounting frames. The rollers contact the bottom of the mixing barrel but do not squeeze it. When the mixing barrel rotates, the rollers roll due to contact with the mixing barrel, which can ensure the stability of the rotation of the mixing barrel.

[0015] The present invention is further provided with a sealing ring between the bucket lid and the stirring shaft, which can improve the sealing performance between the bucket lid and the stirring shaft.

[0016] Beneficial effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an activated carbon mixing device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The output end of the first motor passes through the right-side vertical plate and connects to the right end of the mixing tank. A lid is installed on the left end of the mixing tank. The output end of the second motor is connected to the left end of the stirring shaft. Multiple sets of symmetrical stirring blades are installed on the stirring shaft. A discharge port is connected to the right side of the bottom of the mixing tank. A discharge plate is installed on the rotating cover of the discharge port. When it is necessary to mix activated carbon, the control valve is opened, and the activated carbon and other materials are introduced into the mixing tank through the feed pipe. Then the control valve is closed, and then the first motor and the second motor are turned on. The first motor drives the mixing tank to rotate, and the second motor drives the stirring shaft to rotate. The stirring shaft drives the multiple sets of stirring blades to rotate. The multiple sets of stirring blades rotate in the opposite direction to the mixing tank. The multiple sets of stirring blades stir the materials in the mixing tank, and the mixing tank turns the materials over, so that the materials are fully mixed. This allows the activated carbon to be fully mixed with other materials, improving the mixing effect.

[0019] 2. Each pair of symmetrical mixing blades is equipped with a spiral guide frame at its outer end. The mixing shaft drives multiple sets of mixing blades to rotate, which in turn drives multiple sets of spiral guide frames to rotate. The multiple sets of spiral guide frames promote the circulation of materials in the mixing tank. When the material is discharged, the multiple sets of spiral guide frames drive the material to flow to the right and discharge it through the discharge port. This facilitates the movement of the material to the right and discharges it through the discharge port, reducing material residue.

[0020] 3. The outer end of the bucket lid is evenly provided with three sets of hooks, and the left side of the outer end of the mixing bucket is evenly provided with three sets of latches. The three sets of hooks and the three sets of latches are engaged in a locking action. The right end of the mixing bucket is provided with a fixing block, and the left end of the fixing block is provided with a slot. The right end of the stirring shaft is engaged in a locking action with the slot. When it is necessary to clean the stirring shaft, multiple sets of stirring blades, and multiple sets of spiral guide frames, the three sets of latches and the three sets of hooks are separated, and then the mixing bucket is separated from the bucket lid, thereby exposing the stirring shaft, multiple sets of stirring blades, and multiple sets of spiral guide frames to the outside of the mixing bucket. Then, the stirring shaft, multiple sets of stirring blades, multiple sets of spiral guide frames, and the inside of the mixing bucket are cleaned, which facilitates the cleaning of the stirring shaft, multiple sets of stirring blades, multiple sets of spiral guide frames, and the inside of the mixing bucket.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 An activated carbon mixing device includes a mixing tank 1, with vertical plates 2 on both the left and right sides of the mixing tank 1. A first motor 3 is installed at the right end of the right vertical plate 2, and the output end of the first motor 3 passes through the right vertical plate 2 and is connected to the right end of the mixing tank 1. A tank cover 4 is installed on the left end of the mixing tank 1, and a second motor 5 is installed at the left end of the left vertical plate 2. A feed pipe 6 is installed on one side of the top of the mixing tank 1, and a control valve 7 is installed on the feed pipe 6. A stirring shaft 8 is rotatably installed on the tank cover 4, and the output end of the second motor 5 is connected to the left end of the stirring shaft 8. Multiple sets of symmetrical stirring blades 9 are installed on the stirring shaft 8. A discharge port is connected to the right side of the bottom of the mixing tank 1, and a discharge plate 10 is rotatably installed on the discharge port.

[0031] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to mix activated carbon, the control valve 7 is opened, and the activated carbon and other materials are introduced into the mixing tank 1 through the feed pipe 6. Then the control valve 7 is closed, and the first motor 3 and the second motor 5 are turned on. The first motor 3 drives the mixing tank 1 to rotate, and the second motor 5 drives the stirring shaft 8 to rotate. The stirring shaft 8 drives multiple sets of stirring blades 9 to rotate. The multiple sets of stirring blades 9 and the mixing tank 1 rotate in opposite directions. The multiple sets of stirring blades 9 stir the materials in the mixing tank 1, and the mixing tank 1 turns the materials over, so that the materials are fully mixed. This allows the activated carbon to be fully mixed with other materials, improving the mixing effect.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 As one embodiment of the stirring blade 9, in this utility model, each of the two symmetrical sets of stirring blades 9 is provided with a spiral guide frame 11 at its outer end.

[0033] Specifically, the stirring shaft 8 drives multiple sets of stirring blades 9 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11 to rotate. The multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11 promote the circulation of materials in the mixing tank 1. When the materials are discharged, the materials are driven to the right by the action of the multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11, and the materials are discharged through the discharge port. This facilitates the movement of materials to the right and discharges them through the discharge port, reducing material residue.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-4As one embodiment of the bucket lid 4, the bucket lid 4 in this utility model is provided with three sets of hooks 12 evenly on its outer end, and three sets of latches 13 are evenly provided on the left side of the outer end of the mixing bucket 1. The three sets of hooks 12 and the three sets of latches 13 are engaged in a locking manner. A fixing block 14 is provided at the right end of the mixing bucket 1, and a slot is provided at the left end of the fixing block 14. The right end of the stirring shaft 8 is engaged in a locking manner with the slot.

[0035] Specifically, when it is necessary to clean the stirring shaft 8, multiple sets of stirring blades 9, and multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11, separate the three sets of latches 13 from the three sets of hooks 12, and then separate the mixing tank 1 from the tank cover 4, thereby exposing the stirring shaft 8, multiple sets of stirring blades 9, and multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11 to the outside of the mixing tank 1. After that, clean the stirring shaft 8, multiple sets of stirring blades 9, multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11, and the inside of the mixing tank 1, which facilitates the cleaning of the stirring shaft 8, multiple sets of stirring blades 9, multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11, and the inside of the mixing tank 1.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As a further embodiment of the discharge plate 10: the discharge plate 10 is provided with two sets of L-shaped plates 15 at its front end, and two sets of fixing brackets 16 are provided on the lower right side of the front end of the mixing tank 1. Both sets of fixing brackets 16 are provided with slots, and both sets of L-shaped plates 15 are provided with through holes at their upper parts. The lower right side of the front end of the mixing tank 1 is provided with a slot, and both sets of fixing brackets 16 are provided with cylinders 17 at their front ends. The output ends of the two sets of cylinders 17 pass through the two sets of fixing brackets 16 and the two sets of through holes and are engaged with the two sets of slots.

[0037] Specifically, the discharge plate 10 is closed at the discharge port of the mixing tank 1, and the two sets of L-shaped plates 15 extend into the slots of the two sets of fixing frames 16. Then, the two sets of cylinders 17 are opened, and the output ends of the two sets of cylinders 17 pass through the through holes of the two sets of L-shaped plates 15 and engage with the slots of the mixing tank 1 to fix the two sets of L-shaped plates 15. When unloading is required, the two sets of cylinders 17 are opened in the reverse direction, and the output ends of the two sets of cylinders 17 are separated from the mixing tank 1 and the two sets of L-shaped plates 15. The discharge plate 10 then opens automatically. By setting the discharge plate 10, the discharge outlet of the mixing tank 1 can be expanded as much as possible, and the material discharge speed can be accelerated.

[0038] This utility model has three sets of arc-shaped sliders 18 at the left end of the bucket lid 4, and an annular groove at the right end of the left upright plate 2. The three sets of arc-shaped sliders 18 slide in the annular groove. Two sets of bases 19 are provided below the mixing bucket 1. Each set of bases 19 has a mounting bracket 20 at its top. Rollers 21 are rotatably installed in each set of mounting brackets 20. The rollers 21 contact the bottom of the mixing bucket 1 but do not squeeze it. When the mixing bucket 1 rotates, the three sets of arc-shaped sliders 18 slide in the annular groove of the left upright plate 2, which can ensure the stability of the mixing bucket 1 when rotating as a whole. When the mixing bucket 1 rotates, the two sets of rollers 21 roll due to contact with the mixing bucket 1, which can ensure the smoothness of the rotation of the mixing bucket 1.

[0039] The present invention provides a sealing ring 22 between the bucket lid 4 and the stirring shaft 8, which can improve the sealing performance between the bucket lid 4 and the stirring shaft 8.

[0040] The right end of the bucket lid 4 and the inner end of the discharge plate 10 can also be fitted with a sealing ring 22, which can improve the overall sealing performance of the mixing bucket 1.

[0041] In summary, when using the overall equipment:

[0042] When it is necessary to mix activated carbon, open control valve 7 and introduce activated carbon and other materials into the mixing tank 1 through feed pipe 6 via conveying device. Then close control valve 7, and then turn on first motor 3 and second motor 5. First motor 3 drives mixing tank 1 to rotate, and second motor 5 drives stirring shaft 8 to rotate. Stirring shaft 8 drives multiple sets of stirring blades 9 to rotate. The multiple sets of stirring blades 9 and mixing tank 1 rotate in opposite directions. The multiple sets of stirring blades 9 stir the materials in mixing tank 1, and mixing tank 1 turns the materials over, so that the materials are fully mixed.

[0043] When the stirring shaft 8 drives multiple sets of stirring blades 9 to rotate, the multiple sets of stirring blades 9 drive multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11 to rotate. The multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11 promote the circulation of materials in the mixing tank 1. When it is necessary to discharge materials, the two sets of cylinders 17 are opened in reverse. The output ends of the two sets of cylinders 17 are separated from the mixing tank 1 and the two sets of L-shaped plates 15. The discharge plate 10 opens by itself. Then, under the action of the multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11, the materials are driven to flow to the right and discharged through the discharge port.

[0044] When it is necessary to clean the stirring shaft 8, multiple sets of stirring blades 9, multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11, and the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, separate the three sets of latches 13 from the three sets of hooks 12, and then separate the mixing tank 1 from the tank cover 4, thereby exposing the stirring shaft 8, multiple sets of stirring blades 9, and multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11 to the outside of the mixing tank 1. After that, clean the stirring shaft 8, multiple sets of stirring blades 9, multiple sets of spiral guide frames 11, and the inside of the mixing tank 1.

[0045] When the mixing drum 1 rotates, the three sets of arc-shaped sliders 18 slide in the annular groove of the left vertical plate 2, and the two sets of rollers 21 roll due to contact with the mixing drum 1, thereby supporting the mixing drum 1 as a whole.

The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0047] In all the solutions mentioned above, the operation of electrical components is controlled by a controller. Since the devices matched with the controllers are common devices, their control principles and circuit connections are existing, well-known, and mature technologies. Therefore, their electrical connection relationships and specific circuit structures will not be elaborated here.
