[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be explained and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the implementation methods without creative effort are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] The following describes in detail, with reference to the accompanying drawings, the shell structure of an electric stirrer with a built-in overheat protection device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] For easier understanding, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 An embodiment of the electric stirrer shell structure with built-in overheat protection device provided by this utility model includes an electric heating stirring tank 1, a top cover 2 installed on the top of the electric heating stirring tank 1, a feed inlet 3 opened on the top of the top cover 2, a discharge outlet 4 opened on one side of the bottom of the electric heating stirring tank 1, a controller 5 provided on one side of the electric heating stirring tank 1, a drive motor 6 fixedly installed on the top of the top cover 2, a stirring rod 7 installed on the output end of the drive motor 6, and an overheat protection anti-overflow component provided in the electric heating stirring tank 1.
[0028] The overheat protection and overflow prevention assembly includes a hollow cooling plate 801, several through holes 802, a coolant tank 803, a supply pipe 804, a first return pipe 805, a second return pipe 806, a cooling module 807, a liquid pump 808, and a laser scattering sensor 809. The hollow cooling plate 801 is fixedly installed between the upper cover 2 and the electrically heated stirring tank 1. Several through holes 802 are formed in the middle of the hollow cooling plate 801. The coolant tank 803 is fixedly installed on one side of the electrically heated stirring tank 1. The liquid pump 808 is fixedly installed on one side of the coolant tank 803. The supply pipe 804 is fixedly installed between the liquid pump 808 and the hollow cooling plate 801. One end of the first return pipe 805 is fixedly installed on the other side of the hollow cooling plate 801. One end of the second return pipe 806 is fixedly installed on one side of the coolant tank 803. The cooling module 807 is installed between the first return pipe 805 and the second return pipe 806. The laser scattering sensor 809 is fixedly installed in the middle of the upper cover 2. One end of the liquid supply pipe 804 is connected to the inside of the hollow cooling plate 801, and the other end of the liquid supply pipe 804 is connected to the output end of the liquid pump 808. The suction end of the liquid pump 808 is connected to the inside of the coolant tank 803. One end of the first return pipe 805 is connected to the inside of the hollow cooling plate 801, and the other end of the second return pipe 806 is connected to the inside of the coolant tank 803. The drive motor 6, the liquid pump 808, and the laser scattering sensor 809 are all electrically connected to the controller 5 by wires.
[0029] The hollow cooling plate 801 is made of corrosion-resistant metal, and its edges are bolted between the lower surface of the upper cover 2 and the top edge of the electrically heated stirring tank 1, forming a complete coverage of the top area inside the tank. Several through holes 802 are evenly distributed in the middle of the hollow cooling plate 801, with the hole diameter matching the diameter of the stirring rod 7. This ensures that the stirring rod 7 can pass through the through holes 802 and enter the electrically heated stirring tank 1 without obstruction. A 1-2mm gap is reserved between the through holes 802 and the stirring rod 7, which neither affects the rotation of the stirring rod 7 nor reduces the leakage of hot air from the tank through the gap. The detection end of the laser scattering sensor 809 passes vertically downward through the upper cover 2, and its detection range covers an area 5-10cm above the liquid surface inside the electrically heated stirring tank 1. By monitoring the change in the intensity of laser scattering by bubbles, it can accurately determine whether the liquid level has risen to the warning position due to boiling. The controller 5 adopts a PLC control system, and its surface is equipped with a touch screen and warning indicator lights, which can display equipment operating parameters and fault information in real time.
[0030] It should be noted that the laser scattering sensor 809 monitors the liquid level and bubble status in the electrically heated stirring tank 1 in real time. When it detects that the liquid is too hot and the bubbles are about to overflow, it can promptly feed back to the controller 5, realizing an early warning of overflow. At the same time, the hollow cooling plate 801 cools the bubbles in the top area of the tank, suppressing the excessive expansion of bubbles due to high temperature from the root, forming a "monitoring-cooling" linkage anti-overflow mechanism, effectively preventing liquid from overflowing. The hollow cooling plate 801 is installed between the top cover 2 and the electrically heated stirring tank 1, and can directly act on the area at the top of the tank where bubbles are prone to overflow. It quickly absorbs heat through the circulating coolant, specifically reducing the liquid temperature in this area. Compared with overall cooling, it is more energy-efficient and has a higher cooling efficiency.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the cooling module 807 includes a heat exchange box 8071, a thermoelectric cooler 8072, heat dissipation fins 8073, and a cooling fan 8074. The heat exchange box 8071 is fixedly installed on one side of the coolant tank 803. The thermoelectric cooler 8072 is fixedly installed on one side of the heat exchange box 8071. The heat dissipation fins 8073 are fixedly installed on one side of the thermoelectric cooler 8072. The cooling fan 8074 is installed on one side of the heat dissipation fins 8073. The input end of the heat exchange box 8071 is connected to one end of the first return pipe 805, and the output end of the heat exchange box 8071 is connected to one end of the second return pipe 806. The cooling surface of the thermoelectric cooler 8072 abuts against one side of the surface of the heat exchange box 8071, and the heating surface of the thermoelectric cooler 8072 abuts against the heat dissipation fins 8073. Both the thermoelectric cooler 8072 and the cooling fan 8074 are electrically connected to the controller 5 via wires.
[0033] It should be noted that the heat exchange box 8071 is equipped with a spiral guide plate inside, which extends the residence time of the coolant in the box and improves heat exchange efficiency. The semiconductor cooling chip 8072 adopts a multi-stage series structure. Its cooling surface is tightly attached to the outer wall of the heat exchange box 8071 with thermally conductive silicone grease, and its heating surface is fixed to the heat dissipation fins 8073 with bolts to ensure rapid heat conduction. The cooling fan 8074 is an axial flow fan, and its air outlet is directly facing the heat dissipation fins 8073 to form a forced air cooling circulation. The heat dissipation fins 8073 are made of aluminum alloy with an anodized surface to enhance heat dissipation performance.
[0034] Working principle: First, the liquid to be stirred is added into the electrically heated stirring tank 1 through the feed port 3 of the top cover 2. After the top cover 2 is closed, the drive motor 6 and the heating function of the electrically heated stirring tank 1 are started by the controller 5. The drive motor 6 drives the stirring rod 7 to rotate, stirring the liquid. At the same time, the electrically heated stirring tank 1 heats the liquid. During this process, the laser scattering sensor 809 continuously monitors the state of the bubbles above the liquid surface in the tank. When the liquid temperature rises to near boiling, the number of bubbles increases and rises to the 5cm warning zone above the liquid surface, the sensor transmits a signal to the controller 5. The controller 5 immediately starts the liquid pump 808 and the cooling module 807. The liquid pump 808 draws low-temperature coolant from the coolant tank 803 and delivers it to the hollow cooling plate 801 through the liquid supply pipe 804. When the coolant flows in the hollow cooling plate 801, it absorbs the heat of the top area of the tank through the metal wall, causing the bubbles that are about to overflow to shrink due to cooling and suppressing liquid overflow. After absorbing heat, the high-temperature coolant flows into the heat exchange tank 8071 through the first return pipe 805. The cooling surface of the thermoelectric cooler 8072 cools the coolant in the heat exchange tank 8071, while the cooling fan 8074 dissipates the heat from the heating surface of the thermoelectric cooler 8072 to the outside through the heat dissipation fins 8073. The cooled coolant flows back to the coolant tank 803 through the second return pipe 806, completing the circulating cooling. When the laser scattering sensor 809 detects that the number of bubbles has decreased to a safe threshold, the controller 5 automatically reduces the power of the liquid pump 808 and the cooling intensity of the thermoelectric cooler 8072 to save energy. After stirring is completed, all equipment is shut down by the controller 5, and the stirred liquid is discharged from the discharge port 4 at the bottom of the electrically heated stirring tank 1.
