[0002] Emulsification tanks are professional equipment widely used in the manufacturing of emulsions, emulsions, coatings and various cosmetics. Their main function is to process various viscous chemicals by mixing, stirring and emulsifying.

[0003] In the production of emulsions, emulsions, and coatings, the precise quantitative addition of different components such as aqueous phase, oil phase, surfactants, and emulsifiers is a key step in ensuring the quality stability and performance consistency of emulsified products. However, current emulsification tanks are usually only equipped with a single feed port. Different components are often manually measured and added to the tank at once or in batches. This method of addition is inefficient and prone to deviations in the amount of each component due to human error, making it difficult to meet the production requirements of products with strict component ratio requirements. To address these issues, we propose a high-shear emulsification tank. Utility Model Content

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figures 1-4In this utility model, a high-shear emulsifying tank includes an emulsifying tank body 1. A supporting plate 2 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the emulsifying tank body 1. A metering pump 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the supporting plate 2. The input end of the metering pump 3 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 4. Multiple extraction pipes 5 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting pipe 4. The multiple extraction pipes 5 are respectively connected to water phase, oil phase, surfactant, and emulsifier storage tanks. A flow control valve 6 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each extraction pipe 5. A connecting pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the metering pump 3. A filter 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pipe 10. One end of the filter 9 penetrates the emulsifying tank body 1 and extends into the interior of the emulsifying tank body 1. A stirring element 8 is provided above the emulsifying tank body 1. A detection cover 11 is fixedly embedded on the outer surface, and a pressure sensor 12 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the detection cover 11. The pressure sensor 12 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the emulsification tank 1, and a PLC controller 18 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the support plate 2. The emulsification tank 1 provides space for the material to be contained and emulsified. A material quantitative conveying component can be formed by the metering pump 3, the connecting pipe 4, the flow control valve 6, and the extraction pipe 5. In addition, according to the instructions of the PLC controller 18, the metering pump 3 can accurately control the amount of different components of the material drawn by the extraction pipe 5 with the help of the flow control valve 6, and will be transported to the emulsification tank 1 through the connecting pipe 10 and the filter 9 to achieve precise quantitative feeding. The stirring component 8 is responsible for stirring and emulsifying the material in the tank.

[0023] In a further embodiment, the stirring component 8 includes a drive motor 801 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the emulsification tank 1. A stirring rod 802 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 801. Multiple high-shear blades 803 are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the stirring rod 802. A discharge pipe 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the emulsification tank 1. An electric butterfly valve 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the discharge pipe 15. The drive motor 801 drives the stirring rod 802 to rotate, which causes the multiple high-shear blades 803 on the surface of the stirring rod 802 to rotate at high speed. This allows for high-shear stirring of the material, promoting thorough mixing, improving emulsification efficiency and quality, and helping to form a stable emulsion. The discharge pipe 15 and the electric butterfly valve 16 form a discharge assembly. When the emulsification operation is completed, the PLC controller 18 controls the electric butterfly valve 16 to open, and the discharge pipe 15 is opened to facilitate the discharge of the finished material.

[0024] In a further embodiment, the upper surface of the emulsification tank 1 is provided with a filling port 14, and the outer surface of the emulsification tank 1 is hinged with a sealing door 17 by a pin. The sealing door 17 is located above the filling port 14. One end of each flow control valve 6 is movably connected to a connector 7. The outer surface of the connecting pipe 4 is connected to a reinforcing plate 19. One side of the reinforcing plate 19 is fixedly installed to the outer surface of the emulsification tank 1. The pressure sensor 12 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 18 through a wire. The PLC controller 18 is electrically connected to the safety relief valve 13, the metering pump 3, the electric butterfly valve 16, and the flow control valve 6 through wires respectively. The filling port 14 can provide a channel for the initial addition of materials. The sealing door 17 is opened during the filling process to facilitate the addition of materials and closed after the filling is completed, thus sealing the tank. The connection between the connecting pipe 4 and the emulsification tank 1 through the reinforcing plate 19 enhances the structural strength of the connecting pipe 4. The PLC controller 18 facilitates the control of electrical equipment.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Before production, the operator connects the materials of different components to the connector 7 at one end of the extraction pipe 5. By operating the PLC controller 18, the required amount of each component is set. The PLC controller 18 controls the flow control valve 6 to open. The material enters the connecting pipe 4 through the extraction pipe 5 and the flow control valve 6. The metering pump 3 accurately extracts each component material according to the preset program through the connecting pipe 4 and delivers it to the filter 9 through the connecting pipe 10. After the filter 9 filters the material, it is sent into the emulsification tank 1, avoiding human operation errors and realizing accurate quantitative addition.

[0026] Next, the agitator 8 performs high-shear agitation on the materials in the emulsification tank 1, which can fully mix and emulsify the different components to form a stable emulsion. During the emulsification process, the pressure sensor 12 monitors the internal pressure of the tank in real time and transmits the pressure data to the PLC controller 18 through wires. When the pressure exceeds the set value, the PLC controller 18 controls the safety relief valve 13 to open, releasing excess pressure and ensuring that the internal pressure is stable within a safe range.
