Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of blending kettles, specifically a blending kettle with an intelligent sight glass light. Background Technology
[0002] As a core piece of equipment in chemical production, the mixing vessel relies primarily on a fixed sight glass structure for observing the mixing state of its internal materials. Traditional equipment suffers from the following technical drawbacks: First, in low-light conditions, operators must use handheld lighting tools for observation, which not only affects work efficiency but also poses a safety hazard of material contamination due to falling tools; second, the control mode is singular, relying on manual operation of physical switches, lacking automated linkage and delay logic, resulting in low efficiency and a tendency to miss opening or closing switches; furthermore, wired connections are prone to aging and short circuits, posing significant electrical safety risks. To address these issues, the industry urgently needs a new mixing vessel structure integrating an intelligent sight glass light. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, specifically those raised in the background section, this invention proposes a mixing vessel with an intelligent sight glass light. The vessel includes a housing, a drive assembly mounted at its top, a stirring shaft mounted on the drive assembly via a coupling, the stirring shaft connected to a paddle via a keyway, and the bottom end of the stirring shaft fixed to the bottom of the housing via a lower positioning bearing assembly. Several sight glasses are mounted at the top of the housing, with sight glass lights mounted on the upper ends of the sight glasses. A manhole is also provided at the top of the housing, with its edge hinged to a manhole cover via a hinge structure.
[0004] A magnetic control sensor is integrated at the circumferential edge of the manhole, and a permanent magnet assembly is embedded in the coaxial corresponding position inside the manhole cover. A touch sensor is integrated in the area adjacent to the mounting base of the viewing hole light. The output signal terminals of the magnetic control sensor and the touch sensor are respectively connected to a microcontroller. The microcontroller controls the power supply circuit of the viewing hole light to be switched on and off through a relay drive circuit.
[0005] A further feature of this invention is that the microcontroller communicates bidirectionally with the cloud platform via a wireless module.
[0006] A further feature of this invention is that the drive assembly includes a motor and a reducer connected to each other. The motor and reducer are fixed to the top flange of the housing via a frame. A mechanical seal is interference-fitted into the central sealing hole of the lower flange of the frame. The output shaft of the reducer is positioned by the mechanical seal and connected to the stirring shaft by a coupling.
[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the upper and lower ends of the housing are respectively provided with a feed inlet and a discharge outlet.
[0008] The beneficial technical effects of this invention are as follows: The intelligent sight glass light system of this mixing vessel achieves precise linkage with the opening action through magnetic field coupling of a magnetic control sensor and a permanent magnet, eliminating the need for manual intervention and solving the safety hazard of traditional lighting tools easily falling in low-light environments. The touch sensor adjacent to the sight glass light provides intuitive operation, rapid response, and convenient and low-cost installation, avoiding the safety risks of aging or damaged wiring. The microcontroller uploads status and events in real time via a wireless module, supporting remote control and unified configuration of lighting strategies through a cloud platform. This dual-mode control of "magnetic automatic combined with touch manual," sensor data-driven safety logic, and cloud platform remote operation and maintenance technology effectively solves the problems of inefficient operation, high safety risks, and lack of intelligence in traditional equipment, making it particularly suitable for chemical production scenarios with extremely high safety and reliability requirements.

[0013] 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.
[0014] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a mixing pot with an intelligent sight glass light, including a shell 1, a drive assembly installed at the top of the shell 1, a stirring shaft 2 installed on the drive assembly via a coupling, the stirring shaft 2 connected to the paddle 3 via a keyway, the bottom end of the stirring shaft 2 fixed to the bottom of the shell 1 via a lower positioning bearing assembly 4, a plurality of sight glasses 5 installed at the top of the shell 1, a sight glass light 6 installed at the upper end of the sight glasses 5, and a manhole 7 also provided at the upper end of the shell 1, the edge of the manhole 7 being hinged to the manhole cover 8 via a hinge structure;
[0015] A magnetic sensor is integrated at the circumferential edge of the manhole 7, and a permanent magnet assembly is embedded in the coaxial corresponding position inside the manhole cover 8. A touch sensor is integrated in the area adjacent to the mounting base of the viewing light 6. The output signal terminals of the magnetic sensor and the touch sensor are respectively connected to the microcontroller. The microcontroller controls the power supply circuit of the viewing light 6 to be turned on and off through the relay drive circuit.
[0016] The drive assembly includes a motor 9 and a reducer 10 connected to each other. The motor 9 and the reducer 10 are fixed to the top flange of the housing 1 by a frame 11. A mechanical seal 13 is interference-fitted into the central sealing hole of the lower flange 12 of the frame 11. The output shaft of the reducer 10 is positioned by the mechanical seal 13 and connected to the stirring shaft 2 by a coupling.
[0017] The upper and lower ends of the housing 1 are respectively provided with a feed inlet 14 and a discharge outlet 15.
[0018] Its detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows:
[0019] Once the device is powered on, the microcontroller first completes hardware initialization and establishes a wireless connection with the cloud platform. At this time, the operator can send a "start" command via the web interface, and the cloud platform transmits the control signal to the microcontroller via the wireless module. After verification, the microcontroller drives the relay to close the contactor coil circuit, energizing the three-phase asynchronous motor 9. The high-speed output of the motor 9 is amplified by the reducer 10 and then drives the stirring shaft 2 to rotate through the coupling sealed by the mechanical seal 13.
[0020] The magnetic sensor detects a change in the magnetic field, such as when the manhole cover is opened, and sends a signal (high / low level) to the microcontroller. The microcontroller reads the signal and records the trigger event, such as "cover open". When the manhole cover is open, it controls the relay to close, and the sight glass light illuminates. When the manhole cover is closed, the permanent magnet assembly and the magnetic sensor return to coaxial coupling, triggering the magnetic sensor to output a reverse level signal. After a delay of several seconds, the microcontroller controls the relay drive circuit to cut off the power supply to the sight glass light, turning it off.
[0021] The touch sensor controls the instantaneous on / off state of the perforation light. When an operator manually touches the touch sensor, the microcontroller is triggered to record the "light manually turned on" event and immediately closes the relay, turning on the perforation light. When the finger leaves the touch sensor, the microcontroller is triggered again to record the "light manually turned off" event and, after a delay of several seconds, opens the relay, turning off the perforation light.
[0022] System status is synchronized to the cloud monitoring platform in real time, ensuring traceability of operations. The delay time can be configured through the management interface, with a default setting of 30 seconds.
[0023] The microcontroller communicates bidirectionally with the cloud platform via a wireless module. It uploads trigger status information and receives commands to control the relay switching on and off of the sight glass light 6. The wireless module can be either Wi-Fi or 4G. The microcontroller can receive commands from the cloud platform via the wireless module to remotely control the relay's on / off state, thereby operating the light's switching. It can also upload trigger status information to the cloud platform via the wireless module, allowing users to remotely view the device status through a webpage.
[0024] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
