Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an inorganic salt silo, and more specifically, to an inorganic salt silo with a mixing function. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of sodium metabisulfite, the airflow drying process causes the crystals to easily break into powder, forming a mixture of sodium metabisulfite crystals and powder. As the sodium metabisulfite material enters the silo, the heavier crystalline material sinks first, while the lighter powder tends to disperse and fall more slowly. The dispersed powder may even adhere to the silo's inner walls, causing material stratification and uneven distribution within the silo, which affects subsequent packaging. Furthermore, the powder remaining on the silo walls is difficult to remove, resulting in waste and increased production costs. Utility Model Content

[0019] See Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses an inorganic salt silo with a mixing function, comprising a silo body 1, at least one feeding component 2 at the upper end of the silo body 1; a stirring component 3 is provided inside the silo body 1, and a spiral blade 4 is provided on the stirring component 3, the outer wall of the spiral blade 4 being in contact with the inner wall of the silo body 1; when the stirring component 3 rotates, the spiral blade 4 scrapes the material on the inner wall of the silo body 1 downwards. During storage, the stirring component stirs and agitates the material in the silo body, causing the material to continuously tumble and mix, effectively preventing material stratification, improving material uniformity, and ensuring production quality.

[0020] Furthermore, the spiral blades scrape down the powder adhering to the inner wall of the silo during the mixing process, which reduces the time the material stays on the silo wall, further preventing stratification, avoiding material waste, and reducing costs.

[0021] In this embodiment, a scraper 5 made of rubber material is provided on the outer end of the spiral blade 4, and the outer end of the scraper 5 is in contact with the inner wall of the hopper 1. By scraping off the material on the inner wall of the hopper with the rubber scraper, wear on the inner wall of the hopper can be reduced.

[0022] In this embodiment, preferably, the outer wall of the spiral blade 4 is provided with a mounting groove 6, and the scraper blade 5 includes a mounting bracket 5a that mates with the mounting groove 6. A rubber sheet 5b made of rubber material is provided on the mounting bracket 5a. The scraper blade 5 is inserted into the mounting groove 6 through the mounting bracket 5a. The mounting bracket is made of a relatively strong material such as PVC, which has a certain deformation capacity, to ensure that the mounting bracket can be smoothly inserted into the mounting groove along the spiral blade. Compared with directly using rubber material, this avoids the mounting bracket being squeezed out of the mounting groove opening due to deformation during the advancement process.

[0023] More preferably, the upper and lower ends of the chamber body 1 are respectively provided with inspection windows 7, and the two inspection windows 7 correspond to the upper and lower ends of the spiral blade 4. When the film on the scraper blade wears out after long-term use, it needs to be replaced. The disassembly can be completed by pulling the mounting bracket out of the mounting slot through the inspection window, and then the mounting bracket of the new scraper blade can be inserted into the mounting slot through the same inspection window.

[0024] In this embodiment, preferably, the mounting bracket 5a is provided with a T-shaped groove 5c, and a T-shaped mounting portion 5d that mates with the T-shaped groove 5c is formed on the film 5b; the film 5b is inserted into the mounting groove 6 through the mounting bracket 5a. With this structure, when the film is worn, it can be replaced separately, reducing the consumption of the mounting bracket and lowering costs.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, the stirring assembly 3 includes a rotating shaft 3a vertically mounted inside the chamber 1 via bearings, and a drive motor 3b connected to the rotating shaft 3a is provided on the outer side of the upper end of the chamber 1; a plurality of stirring rods 3c are provided on the rotating shaft 3a, and the outer ends of the stirring rods 3c are connected to the spiral blades 4. The stirring rods can provide stable support to the spiral blades while stirring the material.

[0026] More preferably, the bottom of the stirring rod 3c is provided with a stirring blade 3d inclined towards the rotation direction of the rotating shaft 3a; when the stirring blade 3d rotates with the rotating shaft 3a, the material rises along the surface of the stirring blade 3d. The stirring blades convey and tumble the material upwards, allowing the settled crystals to remix with the upper powder, further improving the degree of mixing and making the mixture more uniform. The stirring blades also enhance the support strength of the stirring rod for the spiral blades.

[0027] During operation, the material is conveyed by the feeding component to the upper part of the silo and falls into the silo for storage. The drive motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the stirring rod and stirring blades stir and tumble the stacked material. At the same time, the spiral blades rotate with the stirring rod, causing the film to scrape off the powder adhering to the inner wall of the silo and mix it with the material below.

[0028] The above-described embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are only used to facilitate the illustration of the present utility model. They are not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Any person skilled in the art who makes partial modifications or alterations to the technical content disclosed in the present utility model without departing from the scope of the technical features of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical features of the present utility model.
