Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gel production equipment technology, specifically to a high-efficiency mixing and stirring device for gel products. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food, gel products are widely used due to their unique physical properties and user experience. The mixing and stirring process in gel production directly determines the product's quality stability and performance.
[0003] Traditional mixing devices have a relatively simple structure, relying mostly on unidirectional stirring blades or spiral blades for material mixing. This design results in a simple material flow trajectory, making it difficult for raw materials at different levels to fully contact each other, and easily leading to localized inadequate mixing. This is especially true for high-viscosity gel raw materials, where a single stirring force cannot break up the agglomeration of the materials, easily creating mixing dead zones and resulting in uneven distribution of components inside the gel. On the other hand, traditional devices often use manual or simple mechanical structures to fix the top cover, requiring multiple people to cooperate when opening and closing, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, seriously affecting the continuity of production.

The two sets of scrapers are adapted to the inner wall of the cylinder. Multiple evenly distributed stirring rods are installed on the side walls of the two sets of scrapers away from the cylinder. Two sets of spiral blades with opposite spiral directions are installed at the upper and lower ends of the stirring shaft. A mixing disc is installed in the middle of the stirring shaft.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a high-efficiency mixing and stirring device for gel products, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] This high-efficiency mixing and stirring device for gel products features spiral blades at both ends of the stirring shaft with opposite spiral directions, creating a circulating flow of materials and ensuring full contact between different layers of raw materials. The outward-turning mixing blades in the central mixing disc generate radial thrust, disrupting the material flow trajectory. The stirring rod attached to the scraper directly stirs the materials in the middle of the cylinder. The combined effect of these multiple forces creates a complex flow path, effectively avoiding incomplete mixing in certain areas and ensuring uniform mixing of the gel raw materials. This uniformity directly guarantees the stable performance of the gel product, reducing quality fluctuations caused by uneven mixing and meeting the stringent quality requirements of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and other fields. After a batch of gel is produced, the top cover can be quickly opened for cleaning and inspection via a lifting device, and then quickly closed to begin the next batch production. This effectively shortens the equipment's turnaround time, and the fast and efficient lifting operation reduces downtime during maintenance, cleaning, and other non-production processes.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4A high-efficiency mixing and stirring device for gel products includes a cylinder 1, a top cover 2, and a lifting device. The top cover 2 is installed at the top of the cylinder 1. A feed pipe 3 is installed at one end of the top wall of the top cover 2. A drive motor 4 is installed in the middle of the top wall of the top cover 2. A stirring shaft 5 is installed through the top cover 2 at the output end of the drive motor 4. Crossbars 6 are installed on both the left and right sidewalls of the stirring shaft 5. Scrapers 7 are installed at the ends of the two sets of crossbars 6 away from the stirring shaft 5. The two sets of scrapers 7 are adapted to the inner wall of the cylinder 1. Multiple evenly distributed stirring rods 8 are installed on the sidewalls of the two sets of scrapers 7 away from the cylinder 1. Two sets of spiral blades 9 with opposite spiral directions are installed at the upper and lower ends of the stirring shaft 5. A mixing disc 10 is installed in the middle. Mixing blades 11 are provided on both the top and bottom walls of the mixing disc 10. A discharge pipe 12 is installed on the bottom wall of the cylinder 1, and a valve 13 is installed on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 12. A control panel 14 is installed on the front side wall of the cylinder 1. Lifting devices are installed on the outer walls of the left and right ends of the cylinder 1. In this embodiment, during use, various raw materials required for gel production are added into the cylinder 1 through the feed pipe 3 at one end of the top wall of the top cover 2. Then, the drive motor 4 is started through the control panel 14 on the front side wall of the cylinder 1. The output end of the drive motor 4 drives the stirring shaft 5 to rotate. Two sets of spiral blades 9 with opposite spiral directions installed at the upper and lower ends of the stirring shaft 5 also rotate with the stirring shaft 5. The upper spiral blade 9 pushes the lower material upwards. The lower spiral blades 9 push the upper material downwards, forming an up-and-down circulation of the material. The mixing disc 10 in the middle of the stirring shaft 5 rotates synchronously. The mixing blades 11, which are set outwards on the top and bottom walls of the mixing disc 10, generate radial thrust on the surrounding material, further disrupting the flow state of the material and ensuring thorough mixing. When the stirring shaft 5 rotates, the crossbars 6 installed on its left and right side walls rotate accordingly, thereby driving the two sets of scrapers 7 to rotate along the inner wall of the cylinder 1. Since the scrapers 7 are adapted to the inner wall of the cylinder 1, they can scrape off the gel material adhering to the inner wall of the cylinder 1 during rotation, preventing waste caused by long-term adhesion and improving the utilization rate of the material. At the same time, multiple evenly distributed stirring rods 8 installed on the side wall away from the cylinder 1 of the two sets of scrapers 7 exert a radial thrust on the surrounding material. The material in the middle of the cylinder 1 is stirred and mixed. During the stirring process, the speed of the drive motor 4 can be adjusted via the control panel 14 to adapt to the mixing requirements of gels with different viscosities. The device integrates multiple stirring structures, including the stirring rod 8 attached to the scraper 7, the spiral blades 9 with opposite spiral directions, and the mixing blades 11 of the mixing disc 10. The stirring rod 8 directly stirs the material, the spiral blades 9 promote the material to circulate up and down, and the mixing blades 11 generate radial stirring force on the material. The combined action of multiple forces causes the material to form a complex flow trajectory, which greatly improves the uniformity of mixing and effectively avoids the problem of insufficient mixing in certain areas. When the gel mixing reaches the expected effect, the drive motor 4 is stopped via the control panel 14, and the valve 13 installed on the outer wall of the discharge pipe 12 is opened.The mixed gel is discharged from the cylinder 1 through the discharge pipe 12. The lifting device facilitates the opening and closing of the top cover 2, making it easy to clean and maintain the inside of the cylinder 1.
[0025] Preferably, in this embodiment, the lifting device includes a fixed plate 16 and lifting cylinders 15. The fixed plates 16 are installed on both the left and right sidewalls of the top cover 2, and the lifting cylinders 15 are installed on both the left and right sidewalls of the cylinder 1 via brackets. The output ends of the two sets of lifting cylinders 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom walls of the corresponding fixed plates 16. When it is necessary to lift the top cover 2 and the mixing device and detach them from the cylinder 1, the operator can issue a command to the lifting device through the control panel 14. After receiving the command, the output ends of the two sets of lifting cylinders 15 in the lifting device begin to extend upwards. Since the output ends of the two sets of lifting cylinders 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom walls of the fixed plates 16 installed on the left and right sidewalls of the top cover 2, the extending force of the lifting cylinders 15 output ends will be transmitted to the fixed plates 16. Plate 16 drives the top cover 2 upward. As the top cover 2 rises, the entire mixing device, including the drive motor 4, stirring shaft 5, crossbar 6, scraper 7, stirring rod 8, spiral blade 9, and mixing disc 10, also rises synchronously. During the rise, the top cover 2 gradually moves away from the top of the cylinder 1, and the various components of the mixing device (scraper 7, stirring rod 8, spiral blade 9, mixing disc 10, etc.) are gradually pulled out from inside the cylinder 1. When the output end of the lifting cylinder 15 extends to its maximum stroke, the top cover 2 and the mixing device are lifted to the preset height. At this time, the entire mixing device is completely separated from the inside of the cylinder 1, and the top cover 2 is also completely separated from the cylinder 1, completing the lifting and detachment operation, which facilitates subsequent maintenance and other operations.
[0026] Preferably, in this embodiment, a rubber pad is installed on the bottom wall of the top cover 2. The rubber pad has good elasticity and sealing performance. When the top cover 2 is closed at the top of the cylinder 1 by the lifting device, the rubber pad will be deformed by the compression between the top cover 2 and the cylinder 1, tightly filling the gap between the top cover 2 and the top of the cylinder 1. This feature can effectively prevent the gel raw material from splashing or volatiles generated by stirring during the stirring process from leaking out of the gap. At the same time, it can also prevent external dust, impurities, etc. from entering the inside of the cylinder 1 and contaminating the raw material, ensuring the cleanliness of the stirring environment and the purity of the material, and providing a reliable guarantee for the quality of the gel product.
[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, the drive motor 4 is a servo motor. The servo motor has extremely high speed control accuracy and can precisely adjust the speed of the stirring shaft 5 through the control panel 14 according to the actual needs in the gel mixing process. Different viscosities and different formulations of gels have different requirements for stirring intensity during mixing. For example, the initial stage of raw material mixing may require a lower speed to avoid raw material splashing, while the deep mixing stage requires a higher speed to ensure uniformity.
[0028] Preferably, in this embodiment, a reinforcing rod 17 is installed between the end of the two sets of scrapers 7 away from the crossbar 6 and the stirring shaft 5. During the stirring process, the scraper 7 needs to rotate at high speed along the inner wall of the cylinder 1 and needs to be in close contact with the inner wall of the cylinder 1 to scrape off residual gel. This will cause the end of the scraper 7 away from the crossbar 6 to be subjected to a large radial force and centrifugal force. If the connection between the crossbar 6 and the scraper 7 is relied on only, long-term stress may cause the connection between the scraper 7 and the crossbar 6 to become loose, deformed or even broken. The installation of the reinforcing rod 17 disperses the load on the connection part, significantly improves the overall structural strength and stability of the scraper 7, and ensures that the scraper 7 maintains a stable shape and position during long-term high-frequency stirring operations.
[0029] Preferably, in this embodiment, a sealing cap 18 is threadedly installed at the top end of the feed pipe 3. The sealing cap 18 is tightly connected to the top end of the feed pipe 3 through the thread, which can effectively block the feed port. When the device is not feeding, it can prevent dust, moisture, impurities and other substances in the outside air from entering the inside of the cylinder 1 through the feed pipe 3, prevent the gel raw material from being contaminated, and ensure the purity of the raw material and the quality of the gel product.
[0030] Preferably, in this embodiment, the valve 13 is a solenoid valve. The solenoid valve controls the opening and closing of the valve 13 through an electrical signal. It can be seamlessly connected with the control panel 14 of the device or the automatic control system to achieve precise control of the material discharge process. The operator does not need to manually turn the valve 13, but only needs to set the parameters through the control panel 14.
[0031] Preferably, in this embodiment, a vibration motor 19 is installed on the bottom wall of the cylinder 1. Gel products usually have high viscosity and are prone to stagnation at the bottom of the cylinder 1 or at the inlet of the discharge pipe 12 due to poor flowability during the discharge process, which may even cause blockage of the discharge pipe 12. The high-frequency vibration generated by the vibration motor 19 when it is working will be transmitted to the entire bottom wall of the cylinder 1, forming a continuous impact force on the attached gel, breaking the static adhesion of the gel, and promoting it to flow towards the discharge port. This vibration effect can effectively accelerate the material discharge speed, especially for high viscosity gels, which can significantly reduce the risk of blockage and ensure a smooth and efficient discharge process.
