Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of planetary mixer technology, and in particular to a gantry-type planetary mixer. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of lithium battery manufacturing, the uniform mixing of slurry is a key process that determines battery performance. Currently, gantry mixing equipment is widely used in industrial production to achieve material mixing. This type of equipment uses a beam structure to drive the mixing device to move in multiple dimensions within the material tank to ensure the uniformity and consistency of slurry mixing. The typical structure of existing gantry mixing equipment can be found in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN207996591U, which mainly includes core components such as frame, beam, lifting seat, mixing device and material tank. The lifting seat is used to drive the mixing device to rise and fall and to achieve positioning connection with the material tank.
[0003] During equipment operation, the reliability of the connection between the material bucket and the lifting seat directly affects the stability and safety of the mixing operation. In the existing technology, the connection between the material bucket and the lifting seat is mostly based on a pin structure, that is, by setting pin holes at corresponding positions on the lifting seat and the material bucket, the pin passes through the pin holes to achieve mechanical connection between the two. However, the pin can only achieve a one-way locking function, and its locking ability for the material bucket is poor. Furthermore, the installation and removal of the pin depends on manual operation, which is inefficient.
[0004] Based on this, in order to improve the reliability and convenience of connecting existing material hoppers, we propose a gantry-type planetary mixer. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the pins only being able to achieve a one-way locking function and having poor locking ability on the material bucket, and to propose a gantry-type planetary mixer.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: Design a gantry planetary mixer, including a frame and a mixing mechanism mounted on the frame. Slide seats are slidably connected to both inner sides of the frame. A support seat and a driving component are slidably connected to the end face of the slide seat and fixedly installed. The driving component is used to drive the support seat to move up and down. The frame contains a material bucket placed inside by a positioning component, and connecting components are provided on both sides of the material bucket. The bearing seat contains a snap-fit component that is adapted to the connecting components.
[0007] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes a fixing plate that is fixedly installed with the material barrel, and a connecting column is fixedly installed on the side of the fixing plate, with a positioning protrusion formed on the lower outer periphery of the connecting column.
[0008] Furthermore, a U-shaped groove is formed on the end face of the bearing seat, and a first limiting groove is formed on the inner wall of the U-shaped groove. The connecting column is placed in the U-shaped groove, and the positioning protrusion is engaged with the first limiting groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the snap-fit assembly includes a mounting plate with a mounting cavity inside the support seat. The mounting plate is slidably connected in the mounting cavity. Two abutment posts are fixedly installed at the upper end of the mounting plate. Limiting beads slide against the outer side of the abutment posts. The limiting beads are movably inserted into the support seat and at least partially protrude into the U-shaped groove. The end of the limiting bead has an inwardly recessed portion. A second limiting groove adapted to the limiting bead is opened on the outer side of the connecting post.
[0010] Furthermore, the shaft end of the drive component extends into the interior of the mounting cavity and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. A stop portion is formed at the upper end of the mounting plate, and a spring is also provided between the mounting plate and the inner wall of the mounting cavity.
[0011] Furthermore, the positioning component includes a guide rail fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the frame, and a sliding seat fixedly installed on the bottom of the material bucket, the sliding seat sliding and sleeved on the guide rail.
[0012] The gantry-type planetary mixer proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: By designing a snap-fit component inside the support seat, when the material bucket is positioned inside the frame by the positioning component, the slide moves the support seat upward to initially position it with the connecting component on the material bucket. Then, the snap-fit component repositions the connecting component. This design can ensure improved stability of the material bucket's position locking and optimize the reliability of the material bucket's position during mixing. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0016] Reference Figure 1-6 As one embodiment of this utility model, a gantry-type planetary mixer is disclosed. Specifically, the planetary mixer includes a frame 1 and a stirring mechanism 2 installed on the frame 1. In this embodiment, the specific structures of the planetary mechanism, motor, stirring paddle and dispersion disc have been disclosed in the prior art. This application does not improve this part of the structure, so it will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, slide blocks 3 are slidably connected to both inner sides of the frame 1. Of course, hydraulic cylinders are fixedly installed inside both sides of the frame 1. Lifting plates are fixedly installed at the shaft ends of the hydraulic cylinders. Guide grooves are opened on the inner side of the frame 1. The lifting plates are connected to the slide blocks 3 through the guide grooves. Thus, the slide blocks 3 can be driven up and down by the hydraulic rod. A bearing seat 4 is slidably connected to the end face of the slide block 3 and a driving component 5 is fixedly installed. The driving component 5 is used to drive the bearing seat 4 to move up and down. Preferably, the driving component 5 in this embodiment is also a hydraulic cylinder. The frame 1 contains a material bucket 7 placed inside by a positioning component 6. Connecting components 8 are provided on both sides of the material bucket 7. The bearing seat 4 contains a snap-fit component 9 that is adapted to the connecting components 8.
[0017] Of course, the bottom of the material bucket 7 described in this embodiment is equipped with rollers. This design facilitates the convenient movement of the material bucket 7. When stirring is required, the material bucket 7 is pushed into the interior of the frame 1 by the positioning component 6, and then the slide 3 drives the support seat 4 to lift it upward so as to contact the stirring mechanism 2 to realize the stirring operation.
[0018] In some embodiments, the connecting component 8 of this utility model includes a fixing plate 81 fixedly installed with the material barrel 7, a connecting column 82 fixedly installed on the side of the fixing plate 81, and a positioning protrusion 83 formed on the lower outer periphery of the connecting column 82.
[0019] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a U-shaped groove 41 is provided on the end face of the bearing seat 4, and a first limiting groove 42 is formed on the inner wall of the U-shaped groove 41. The connecting post 82 is placed in the U-shaped groove 41, and the positioning protrusion 83 is engaged with the first limiting groove 42.
[0020] In the specific connection process, the material barrel 7 is first positioned by the positioning component 6, and then the driving component 5 drives the above-mentioned support seat 4 to move upward. At this time, the U-shaped groove 41 on the support seat 4 will first engage with the connecting column 82. Until the support seat 4 slides upward into place, the first limiting groove 42 in the U-shaped groove 41 engages with the positioning protrusion 83 on the connecting column 82, so as to achieve circumferential positioning and locking of the entire connecting column 82.
[0021] Based on the above embodiments, the snap-fit assembly 9 in this embodiment includes a mounting plate 91, and has a mounting cavity 43 inside the bearing seat 4. The mounting plate 91 is slidably connected in the mounting cavity 43. Two abutting posts 92 are fixedly installed at the upper end of the mounting plate 91. Limiting beads 93 are slidably attached to the outer side of the abutting posts 92. The limiting beads 93 are movably inserted into the bearing seat 4 and at least partially protrude into the U-shaped groove 41. The end of the limiting beads 93 has an inwardly recessed portion 94. A second limiting groove 84 adapted to the limiting beads 93 is opened on the outer side of the connecting post 82.
[0022] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the shaft end of the driving component 5 extends into the interior of the mounting cavity 43 and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 91. A stop portion 95 is formed at the upper end of the mounting plate 91, and a spring 96 is also provided between the mounting plate 91 and the inner wall of the mounting cavity 43.
[0023] Specifically, in this embodiment, the shaft end of the driving component 5 is slidably connected to the bearing seat 4, and its shaft end is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 91; During the connection process, when the driving component 5 pushes the bearing seat 4 to move upward, as described above, the U-shaped groove 41 and the first limiting groove 42 on the bearing seat 4 will engage with the connecting column 82 and the positioning protrusion 83 on the side of the material barrel 7 to achieve initial positioning. At the same time, when the bearing seat 4 contacts the connecting column 82, under the gravity of the material bucket 7, when the driving component 5 continues to extend, the bearing seat 4 does not move. The shaft end of the driving component 5 drives the mounting plate 91 to move upward. The mounting plate 91 squeezes the spring 96 and drives the two abutting columns 92 on both sides to move. It should be noted that in the initial state, the limiting bead 93 is attached to and slides on the inner recess 94. A ball hole is opened in the U-shaped groove 41 of the bearing seat 4, which communicates with the mounting cavity 43. The limiting bead 93 is slidably connected in the ball hole. Of course, its diameter is smaller than the outer diameter of the ball hole, so as to prevent the limiting bead 93 from falling off. When connecting, if the mounting plate 91 moves the abutment post 92 upward, the abutment post 92 will push its outer wall to abut the aforementioned limiting bead 93 and move upward. In this way, by means of the engagement of the limiting bead 93 and the second limiting groove 84 on the connecting post 82, the entire connecting post 82 can be further lifted to ensure the stability of the locking position of the material barrel 7.
[0024] Conversely, during descent, the above actions are reversed. The limiting bead 93 first separates from the second limiting groove 84, and then separates from the bearing seat 4 and the connecting column 82, thus completing the overall separation operation.
[0025] In some embodiments, the positioning component 6 of this utility model includes a guide rail 61 fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the frame 1, and a sliding seat 62 fixedly installed on the bottom of the material bucket 7, the sliding seat 62 sliding and sleeved above the guide rail 61.
[0026] Specifically, in this embodiment, the upper part of the guide rail 61 has an inverted V-shaped structure, and the bottom of the sliding seat 62 has a V-shaped groove. In this way, when pushing the material bucket 7, the left and right positions of the material bucket 7 can be positioned. Of course, a positioning bolt can also be fixedly installed on the upper part of the guide rail 61. The positioning bolt abuts against the sliding seat 61 to limit the pushing depth of the material bucket 7.
[0027] In summary, this utility model employs a snap-fit component 9 designed inside the support seat 4. When the material bucket 7 is positioned inside the frame 1 by the positioning component 6, the slide 3 drives the support seat 4 to move upward to initially position it with the connecting component 8 on the material bucket 7. Then, the snap-fit component 7 repositions the connecting component 8. This design ensures improved position locking stability of the material bucket 7 and optimizes the position reliability of the material bucket 7 during stirring.
[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
