Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of glass bottle production technology, and in particular to a raw material mixing device for glass bottle production. Background Technology
[0002] In the glass bottle manufacturing industry, raw material mixing is a preliminary production step. In this process, various raw materials such as quartz sand, soda ash, and limestone are usually mixed in a specific ratio to ensure that the glass bottles have the ideal chemical composition and physical properties.
[0003] Currently, when using raw material mixing equipment, operators need to frequently travel between the raw material storage area and the mixing tank, carrying and feeding multiple raw materials into the mixing tank in sequence. This is not only time-consuming, but also easily leads to uneven feeding of raw materials, affecting the mixing efficiency.
[0004] Specifically, the operator puts the raw materials required for mixing into the mixing tank in sequence. The distribution of various raw materials in the mixing tank is uneven. Under such circumstances, although the stirring equipment runs continuously, it is difficult to fully mix the raw materials in different areas in a short time, which prolongs the mixing time and reduces the mixing efficiency.
[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, a raw material mixing device for glass bottle production is now designed. Utility Model Content

[0007] In a first aspect, a raw material mixing device for glass bottle production is provided, comprising:
[0008] A mixing tank is provided with a feeding pipe for feeding materials, and a stirring unit for mixing materials is provided inside the mixing tank. The characteristic feature is that a conveying pipe is connected to the feeding pipe, and a feeding unit is provided on the conveying pipe for supplying materials into the conveying pipe.

[0012] In some embodiments, multiple hoppers are used to store a variety of materials, and the hoppers are cones that are wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with an opening at the top.
[0013] In some embodiments, the lifting mechanism includes a spiral conveying rod rotatably disposed inside the conveying pipe, wherein the conveying pipe and the feeding pipe are directly provided with interconnected through holes, and one end of the spiral conveying rod extends into the feeding pipe;
[0014] The conveying pipe is equipped with a reducer and a second drive motor. The output shaft of the second drive motor is connected to the input shaft of the reducer, and the output shaft of the reducer is connected to the other end of the screw conveyor.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0027] This application provides a raw material mixing device for glass bottle production, which solves the problem in related technologies where operators need to sequentially transport and feed multiple raw materials into the mixing tank, which is not only time-consuming but also prone to uneven feeding of raw materials, affecting mixing efficiency.
[0028] Please see Figures 1-3A raw material mixing device for glass bottle production includes: a mixing tank 1 with a feeding pipe 2 for feeding materials, and a stirring unit 3 for mixing materials inside the mixing tank 1. The feeding pipe 2 is connected to a conveying pipe 4, and the conveying pipe 4 is equipped with a feeding unit 5 for supplying materials into the conveying pipe 4. The conveying pipe 4 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 6 for conveying materials from the conveying pipe 4 into the mixing tank 1. The feeding unit 5 includes a feeding pipe 51 connected to the conveying pipe 4, and a plurality of feeding ports 52 are sequentially arranged on the feeding pipe 51. A valve 53 is installed inside each feeding port 52, and a hopper 54 is connected above each feeding port 52 for storing materials.
[0029] Different types of raw materials for glass bottle production are stored in the hoppers 54 of the feeding unit 5. Each hopper 54 corresponds to a feeding port 52. A valve 53 is installed in the feeding port 52. By controlling the opening and closing of the valve 53, the feeding of materials can be controlled.
[0030] According to the raw material formula and feeding sequence required for production, the operator opens the valve 53 of the corresponding feeding port 52 in sequence. Under the action of gravity, the material falls from the hopper 54 into the feeding port 52, and then enters the conveying pipe 4 through the feeding pipe 51. After the raw material is fed, the valve 53 is closed. Then, according to the formula requirements, the valves 53 of other feeding ports 52 are opened in sequence to feed other raw materials. This multi-batch, small-dose feeding method can ensure that each material can enter the conveying pipe 4 in the predetermined amount and sequence.
[0031] The lifting mechanism 6 pushes the material in the conveying pipe 4 upward, and finally enters the mixing tank 1 through the feeding pipe 2. The various materials entering the mixing tank 1 are fully mixed under the action of the stirring unit 3.
[0032] Through the feeding pipe 51, feeding port 52, valve 53, conveying pipe 4 and lifting mechanism 6, different materials can be continuously fed into the mixing tank 1 in multiple batches and small doses according to the actual situation, avoiding the accumulation and unevenness caused by a large amount of materials being fed at once, improving the uniformity of material distribution, thereby shortening the mixing time and improving the mixing efficiency.
[0033] The automatic feeding and conveying of materials is achieved through the feeding unit 5, the conveying pipe and the lifting mechanism 6, which reduces the labor intensity of operators and improves production efficiency.
[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the diagram, in this embodiment, the end of the conveying pipe 4 away from the feeding pipe 2 slopes downwards, and the feeding pipe 51 is connected to the downward-sloping end of the conveying pipe 4. The end of the feeding pipe 51 away from the conveying pipe 4 also slopes downwards. A fixing frame is provided between the outer sides of the conveying pipe 4 and the feeding pipe 51, and the fixing frame is fixed in the workshop by metal rods and bolts.
[0035] The end of the feeding pipe 51 away from the conveying pipe 4 is inclined downwards. The raw material will flow along the inclined feeding pipe 51 towards the conveying pipe 4 and enter the downward inclined end of the conveying pipe 4 through the feeding pipe 51. The inclined design allows the material to enter the conveying pipe 4 smoothly, reducing the possibility of material residue and blockage in the pipe.
[0036] The end of the conveying pipe 4 away from the feeding pipe 2 is inclined downward. The material entering the conveying pipe 4 will gather at the lower end of the inclination under the action of gravity. The material is lifted upward by the lifting mechanism 6 and moves upward along the conveying pipe 4 to enter the mixing tank 1 evenly.
[0037] A fixing frame is installed between the outer sides of the conveying pipe 4 and the feeding pipe 51. The fixing frame is fixed in the workshop by metal rods and bolts, providing stable support for the entire material conveying system.
[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the valve 53 includes a sealing disc 531 rotatably disposed within a feeding port 52. The diameter of the sealing disc 531 is adapted to the inner diameter of the feeding port 52. A drive motor 532 is disposed on the feeding port 52, and the output shaft of the drive motor 532 is connected to the sealing disc 531 to drive the sealing disc 531 to rotate. A through hole is provided on the side wall of the feeding port 52 for the output shaft to extend.
[0039] Start the drive motor 532 corresponding to the feeding port 52. The output shaft of the drive motor 532 starts to rotate, driving the connected sealing disc 531 to rotate inside the feeding port 52. As the sealing disc 531 rotates, the feeding port 52, which was originally blocked by the sealing disc 531, gradually opens, and the material falls from the hopper 54 into the feeding port 52 under the action of gravity. Since the end of the feeding pipe 51 away from the conveying pipe 4 is inclined downward, the material will enter the conveying pipe 4 along the feeding pipe 51.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of hoppers 54 are used to store a variety of materials. Each hopper 54 is a cone that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, with an opening at the top.
[0041] The hopper 54 is a cone-shaped structure, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Under the influence of gravity, the material will naturally flow downwards along the side wall of the cone, reducing the possibility of material accumulation and blockage within the hopper 54. The top of the hopper 54 is open, facilitating direct pouring of material and improving the efficiency of material addition.
[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the lifting mechanism 6 includes a spiral conveying rod 61 rotatably disposed inside the conveying pipe 4. The conveying pipe 4 and the feeding pipe 2 are directly provided with interconnected through holes. One end of the spiral conveying rod 61 extends into the feeding pipe 2. A reducer 62 and a second drive motor 63 are provided on the conveying pipe 4. The output shaft of the second drive motor 63 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 62, and the output shaft of the reducer is connected to the other end of the spiral conveying rod 61.
[0043] The lifting mechanism 6 on the conveying pipe 4 starts working. The operator starts the drive motor 63 through the control system. The output shaft of the drive motor 63 starts to rotate at high speed and transmits power to the reducer 62. The reducer 62 converts the high-speed, low-torque power into low-speed, high-torque power, and then transmits it to the screw conveyor 61 through its output shaft. The screw conveyor 61 rotates inside the conveying pipe 4. The spiral blades on the screw conveyor 61 continuously push the material, causing it to move upward along the conveying pipe 4. One end of the screw conveyor 61 extends into the feeding pipe 2. When the material is lifted to the position of the feeding pipe 2, it will enter the mixing tank 1 along the feeding pipe 2.
[0044] It should be noted that the stirring unit 3 described in this embodiment includes a fixed base 31 disposed above the mixing tank 1. The fixed base 31 is hollow inside and open at the bottom. A rotating shaft 32 is rotatably disposed inside the mixing tank 1. A stirring blade 33 is disposed on the rotating shaft 32. The top end of the rotating shaft 32 extends into the fixed base 31. A drive motor 34 and a reducer 35 are disposed on the fixed base 31. The output shaft of the drive motor 34 is connected to the input shaft of the reducer 35. The output shaft of the reducer 35 is connected to the top end of the rotating shaft 32.
[0045] The operator starts the drive motor 34 through the control system. The output shaft of the drive motor 34 starts to rotate at high speed and transmits power to the reducer 35. The reducer 35 converts the high-speed, low-torque power into low-speed, high-torque power and transmits it to the rotating shaft 32, causing the rotating shaft 32 to rotate inside the mixing tank 1. This drives the stirring blades 33 installed on it to rotate together. During the rotation, the stirring blades 33 stir, tumble and mix the material in the mixing tank 1.
[0046] In this embodiment, the stirring blades 33 are spiral-shaped, which enables the material to form an up-and-down circulating flow in the mixing tank 1, increasing the contact area and mixing opportunities between the materials.
[0047] like Figure 1 and 4 As shown, the mixing tank 1 is further provided with an exhaust valve and a liquid supply port on the top, and a discharge valve 11 is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank 1.
[0048] When the mixing process is complete and the material in the tank reaches a uniform mixing state, the discharge valve 11 is opened, and the mixed material flows out of the mixing tank 1 smoothly under the action of gravity.
