Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mixing devices, specifically relating to a raw material mixing device for the production of autoclaved aerated bricks. Background Technology

[0002] Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) bricks are a new type of wall material made from stone powder, cement, and lime as the main raw materials. They are prepared by casting, cutting, and curing under high pressure with steam. In the production of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) bricks, various raw materials are mixed with water to form a slurry, which is then poured into molds to solidify. During the mixing process, a suitable amount of a foaming agent needs to be added. This foaming agent is a chemical substance that transforms liquid into gas under pressure. Its addition to the slurry is primarily to create air bubbles in the subsequently produced bricks, reducing the density and weight of the AAC bricks. Currently, factories mainly add foaming agents manually. The foaming agent is stored in a plastic bucket and poured into the mixing tank during the raw material mixing process. This method requires workers to remain constantly beside the mixing tank, adding a bucket of foaming agent periodically, increasing the factory's workload. Furthermore, existing raw material mixing tanks rotate in one direction during mixing, causing the mixed slurry to rotate uniformly. The foaming agent added midway cannot mix with all the slurry and is thus rotated along with it, failing to fully mix with the slurry in the tank. This results in some AAC bricks being of substandard quality, others having small pores, and some exceeding weight limits. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0024] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Referring to Figures 1 to 6, this utility model discloses a raw material mixing device for autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) block production, comprising: a mixing tank 1, a storage tank 2, and a mixing assembly 3; the mixing tank 1 has a platform 101 at the top, and a square hole 11 is opened near the center of the platform 101. The storage tank 2 is installed on the platform 101, and the mixing assembly 3 is installed on the side of the square hole 11. The mixing assembly 3 further includes a mounting plate 31, a rotating shaft sleeve 32, a mixing rod 33, and a drive motor 34. The mounting plate 31 is fixed to the platform 101 by bolts, the rotating shaft sleeve 32 is installed on the mounting plate 31, the mixing rod 33 is installed on the rotating shaft sleeve 32 and extends into the mixing tank 1 from the square hole 11, and the drive motor 34 is fixed to the mounting plate 31.

[0026] It should be noted that, referring to Figures 1, 2, and 3, this device is mainly used to mix the gas-generating agent with the slurry of autoclaved aerated bricks. The mixing tank 1 is a cylinder with an internal cavity. The gas-generating agent is stored in the storage tank 2. The gas-generating agent flows from the storage tank 2 into the mixing tank 1 in equal amounts. The mixing component 3 mixes the gas-generating agent into the slurry. The slurry is mainly a mixture of stone powder, cement, lime, and water. After being stirred to a viscous state, it can be poured into a mold to solidify into a blank. The mixing component 3 is the most important component, responsible for fully mixing the gas-generating agent into the slurry. The mixing component is mainly installed on the mounting plate 31. The drive motor 34 drives the rotating shaft sleeve 32 to rotate. The rotating shaft sleeve 32 drives the mixing rod 33 to make a circular motion, thereby stirring the slurry in the mixing tank 1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the mounting plate 31 has an L-shaped structure, consisting of a base plate 312 and a vertical plate 311. A reinforcing rib 313 is provided between the base plate 312 and the vertical plate 311. Several bolts are provided on the base plate 312 to fix the mounting plate 31 to the platform 101. The vertical plate 311 is set perpendicular to the base plate 312. The front end of the vertical plate 311 is provided with a fixed arm 301 and a rotating arm 302. The fixed arm 301 is located at the upper left position of the vertical plate 311, and the rotating arm 302 is located at the lower left position of the vertical plate 311.

[0028] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 4, the mounting plate 31 is used to mount the drive motor 34 and the fixed rotating sleeve 32. The fixed arm 301 and the rotating arm 302 set on the left side of the mounting plate 31 are used to limit the stirring rod 33. The fixed arm 301 is mainly used to mount the rotating sleeve 32. The rotating sleeve 32 rotates on the fixed arm 301, driving the stirring rod 33 to rotate. The rotating arm 302 provides a fulcrum for the rotation of the stirring rod 33. Since the stirring rod 33 is inclined, the rotating sleeve 32 only drives the stirring rod 33 to rotate. The position of the rotating arm 302 is the fulcrum for the rotation of the stirring rod 33.

[0029] In this embodiment, the fixed arm 301 is provided with a circular hole 303 for mounting the rotating shaft sleeve 32. The rotating shaft sleeve 32 is composed of a circular rod 321, a driven pulley 322, and a cylinder 323, which are integrally formed. The circular rod 321 is installed in the circular hole 303, the driven pulley 322 is located at the lower end of the circular rod 321, and the cylinder 323 is arranged below the driven pulley 322 and at an angle to the circular rod 321. The top of the stirring rod 33 is fixedly installed inside the cylinder 323.

[0030] In this embodiment, the drive motor 34 is mounted on the right side of the upright plate 311, and a drive pulley 341 is mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 34. The drive pulley 341 and the driven pulley 322 are connected by a belt 342.

[0031] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 2 and 5, the rotating sleeve 32 is composed of a round rod 321, a driven pulley 322, and a cylinder 323, which are integrally formed. The round rod 321 is used to install the entire component onto the fixed arm 301. The driven pulley 322 is used to connect the belt 342 to transmit the power of the driving pulley 341. The driving pulley 341 drives the entire rotating sleeve 32 to rotate at the round hole 303 of the fixed arm 301. The cylinder 323 is set on the lower side of the driven pulley 322 and is set at an angle to the round rod 321. In this way, after the top of the stirring rod 33 is fixedly installed in the cylinder 323, the stirring rod 33 is inclined. When rotating, it will perform a circular motion with the rotating arm 302 as the fulcrum, thereby agitating the slurry in the mixing tank 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, the length of the round rod 321 is greater than the depth of the round hole 303. After the round rod 321 is installed in the round hole 303, the remaining part of the round rod 321 is provided with threads. A collar 35 is provided above the round rod 321. The collar 35 is provided with a threaded hole inside. The collar 35 is installed on the round rod 321 through the threaded hole.

[0033] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, when installing the rotating sleeve 32, the round rod 321 is fitted upwards from the lower end of the round hole 303. After installation, a collar 35 needs to be installed to fix it and prevent the rotating sleeve 32 from sliding down from the round hole 303. The collar 35 is installed on the round rod 321 through a threaded hole, so that the rotating sleeve 32 can only rotate on the fixed arm 301 and cannot move up and down.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rotating arm 302 is provided with a ring 304, and the stirring rod 33 is provided with a spherical kit 331 at the middle position. The stirring rod 33 passes through the ring 304 and the spherical kit 331 is located inside the ring 304.

[0035] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the rotating arm 302 is positioned as the fulcrum for the rotation of the stirring rod 33. The stirring rod 33 rotates around this fulcrum. The spherical assembly 331, located in the middle of the stirring rod 33, is precisely within the ring 304 of the rotating arm 302. This allows the spherical assembly 331 to smoothly contact the ring 304 during the rotation of the stirring rod 33, and also enables the stirring rod 33 to rotate more effectively within the ring 304.

[0036] In this embodiment, a drain pipe 21 is provided on the side of the storage tank 2, and a pipe valve 22 is installed on the drain pipe 21.

[0037] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 1 and 6, the drain pipe 21 is used to discharge the gas-generating agent in the storage tank 2 into the mixing tank 1. This cannot be done manually. The flow rate of the gas-generating agent is controlled by the set valve 22, which can better control the mixing of the gas-generating agent and the slurry. This eliminates the need for workers to stand by and operate the addition of the gas-generating agent, thus freeing up productivity.

[0038] In this embodiment, a ladder 12 is provided on the side of the mixing tank 1, and a guardrail 13 is installed on the side near the square hole 11 of the ladder 12. Several bottom protrusions 102 and side protrusions 103 are respectively provided on the bottom and inner side wall of the mixing tank 1.

[0039] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 1 and 6, the square hole 11 is used for the installation of the drain pipe 21, and also facilitates workers to observe the situation inside the mixing tank 1. The guardrail 13 installed on one side of the square hole 11 can prevent workers from falling into the mixing tank 1 while working on the platform 101 and causing danger.

[0040] Because existing raw material mixing tanks rotate in one direction during the mixing process, the mixed slurry rotates uniformly in one direction. The gas-generating agent added midway cannot mix with all the slurry and is also rotated along with it, failing to fully mix with the slurry in the tank. This results in some aerated bricks being of substandard quality, others having small pores, and bricks exceeding the weight limit. Therefore, bottom protrusions 102 and side protrusions 103 are set on the bottom and inner wall of the mixing tank 1. The bottom protrusions 102 and side protrusions 103 can prevent the slurry from rotating in one direction, causing the slurry to collide with each other and move irregularly during mixing. This can fully mix the slurry with the gas-generating agent, so that the quality of the produced bricks meets the standards.

[0041] In this embodiment, a water inlet pipe 4 is provided at a lower position on the side wall of the mixing tank 1, and a slurry pump 41 is installed on the water inlet pipe 4.

[0042] It should be noted that, as shown in Figures 1 and 6, after the slurry and the gas-generating agent are fully mixed, the slurry needs to be pumped into a storage tank and finally injected into a mold to solidify into a blank. The water pipe 4 connects the mixing tank 1 to the storage tank. The slurry pump 41 set in the middle is used to pump the slurry in the mixing tank 1. The main function of the slurry pump 41 is to transport the slurry containing solid particles. By using the centrifugal force (the rotation of the pump impeller), the energy of the solid-liquid mixture is increased, thereby quickly pumping the mixed slurry of stone powder, cement, lime and water into the storage tank, reducing transportation costs.

[0043] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
