Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agitator technology, specifically relating to a multi-motion agitator. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, agitators are widely used in industrial production as mixing equipment, particularly in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. Traditional mixing devices typically consist of a mixing motor, a mixing shaft, and a mixing tank. The rotating mixing shaft drives the blades to mix the materials inside the tank. This type of structure is simple to operate, has low cost, and is quite practical for mixing conventional materials.

[0003] However, in practical use, existing stirring devices still have some technical shortcomings. For example, their stirring method is usually limited to horizontal rotational motion, resulting in a single stirring path that is difficult to effectively cover all areas inside the tank, easily creating stirring blind zones and leading to uneven material mixing. Especially for high-viscosity or easily sedimenting materials, traditional stirring devices struggle to achieve sufficient agitation, easily causing problems such as bottom sedimentation and material stratification, affecting the mixing or reaction effect.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a multi-motion agitator with a novel structure, high mixing efficiency, and easy operation and maintenance to solve the problems of poor mixing effect, poor adaptability, and inconvenient operation in the existing technology, thereby improving the application performance and practical value of the mixing device under complex working conditions. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a multi-action mixer, comprising a mixing tank, a mixing assembly, and a toggle device. The mixing assembly includes a mixing motor positioned above the mixing tank, with its output end connected to a mixing shaft. The toggle device includes a lifting mechanism and a drive mechanism. The lifting mechanism includes a fixed base, a guide seat vertically mounted on the fixed base, a lifting rod slidably mounted on the guide seat, a lifting seat at the top of the lifting rod, and a support platform on the lifting seat. The mixing tank is mounted on the support platform, and the drive mechanism drives the lifting rod to move up and down.

[0006] Preferably, the drive mechanism includes a base plate connected to the bottom of the lifting rod, a connecting plate on the side of the base plate, a connecting rod hinged to the connecting plate, a lifting rod hinged to the output end of the connecting rod, a rotating shaft connected to one end of the lifting rod, brackets on both sides of the rotating shaft, the two sides of the rotating shaft being hinged to the brackets, a drive motor located below the lifting rod, an eccentric cam connected to the output end of the drive motor, and the eccentric cam driving the lifting rod to rise and fall.

[0007] Preferably, the support platform is surrounded by inclined support columns, and the mixing tank and the support platform are not fixedly connected.

[0008] Preferably, the drive motor has a motor base at its bottom, and support blocks are provided on both sides of the bottom of the motor base. A threaded rod and a guide rod are provided parallel between the two support blocks, and the threaded rod and the guide rod are slidably connected on both sides of the bottom of the motor base.

[0009] Preferably, a guide frame is provided on one side of the lifting rod, the guide frame is provided with an arc-shaped guide groove, and a guide pin is connected to the lifting rod, the guide pin being slidably disposed in the arc-shaped guide groove.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. In this solution, the driving mechanism drives the mixing tank to move up and down reciprocatingly, breaking the flow path formed by the rotation of the mixing blades alone in traditional mixing. This effectively eliminates the blind spots in mixing and significantly improves mixing efficiency and mixing quality.

[0012] 2. In this design, a guide seat and a lifting rod work together to achieve stable lifting motion. At the same time, an arc-shaped guide groove and a guide pin are set on one side of the lifting rod structure to control the movement trajectory of the lifting rod, effectively preventing phenomena such as deflection and jamming during lifting, improving the operational stability and safety of the actuation mechanism, and making it suitable for long-term continuous operation.

[0013] 3. In this design, the mixing tank and the support platform adopt a non-fixed connection structure, which, together with the inclined column limit support, facilitates the disassembly, replacement and cleaning of the mixing tank while ensuring the stability of the turning process.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Simultaneously, when an component is referred to as "fixed to" or "equipped on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may have an intervening component present. When an component is referred to as "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have an intervening component present. When an component is referred to as "fixedly connected to" another component, it can be a common fixed connection method such as welding, bolting, or gluing. In short, those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0021] Example 1, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, a multi-motion mixer includes a mixing tank 1, a mixing assembly, and a stirring device. The mixing assembly includes a mixing motor 2 positioned above the mixing tank 1. The output end of the mixing motor 2 is connected to a mixing shaft 3, which can penetrate into the mixing tank 1 to mix the materials. The stirring device is used to periodically move the mixing tank 1 up and down during the mixing process, thereby breaking up mixing blind spots and enhancing material agitation. The stirring device includes a lifting mechanism and a driving mechanism. The lifting mechanism supports and guides the up and down movement of the mixing tank 1, while the driving mechanism provides the driving force.

[0022] The lifting mechanism includes a fixed base 4, a guide seat 5 vertically mounted on the fixed base 4, and a lifting rod 6 slidably mounted on the guide seat 5, capable of moving up and down along the guide seat 5. A lifting seat 7 is located at the top of the lifting rod 6, and a support platform 8 is mounted on the lifting seat 7 to support the mixing tank 1. The mixing tank 1 is mounted on the support platform 8, and can be either fixedly connected or non-fixedly connected. In this embodiment, it is a non-fixed structure. To ensure the stability of the mixing tank 1 during movement, several supporting inclined columns 17 are arranged around the support platform 8 to support and limit the swing of the mixing tank 1. The non-fixed connection between the mixing tank 1 and the support platform 8 allows the mixing tank 1 to be easily disassembled, cleaned, or replaced after use, improving the flexibility and practicality of the equipment operation.

[0023] The drive mechanism includes a base plate 9 connected to the bottom of the lifting rod 6. A connecting plate 10 is provided on the side of the base plate 9, and a connecting rod 11 is hinged to the connecting plate 10. A lifting rod 12 is hinged to the output end of the connecting rod 11. One end of the lifting rod 12 is connected to a rotating shaft 13. The two ends of the rotating shaft 13 are connected to the base plate 9 through a bracket 14 to form a rotating hinge structure. A drive motor 15 is provided below the lifting rod 12. An eccentric cam 16 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 15. During the rotation of the eccentric cam 16, the lifting rod 12 is driven to periodically rise and fall, thereby pushing the lifting rod 6 to move up and down reciprocally, realizing the stirring function of the mixing tank 1. In this solution, the connecting rod 11 can preferably be replaced by a cylinder. During the operation of the cylinder lifting rod 12, the piston movement of the cylinder can provide slight buffering, avoiding excessive structural stress and improving stability and service life.

[0024] The bottom of the drive motor 15 is provided with a motor base 18, and the bottom of the motor base 18 is provided with support blocks 19 on both sides. A threaded rod 20 and a guide rod 21 are respectively arranged in parallel between the two support blocks 19. The two sides of the motor base 18 are slidably engaged with the threaded rod 20 and the guide rod 21. By rotating the threaded rod 20, the motor base 18 and the drive motor 15 can be moved, which facilitates the adjustment of the motor position or maintenance.

[0025] To achieve more precise control over the lifting trajectory, a guide frame 22 is provided on one side of the lifting rod, and an arc-shaped guide groove 23 is provided on the guide frame 22. A guide pin 24 is connected to the lifting rod, and the guide pin 24 is slidably set in the arc-shaped guide groove 23. The arc-shaped guide restricts the movement trajectory of the lifting rod 12, effectively preventing skewing or jamming during the lifting process, and improving the stability and reliability of the tossing action.

[0026] Through the above structural design, the multi-motion agitator provided by this utility model not only possesses the traditional rotary stirring function, but also utilizes a toggle device to achieve the periodic up-and-down movement of the mixing tank 1, thereby forming a compound stirring mode. This structure is particularly suitable for materials with high viscosity, easy sedimentation, or high requirements for mixing uniformity, and can significantly improve stirring efficiency and quality, while also having advantages such as reasonable structure, convenient assembly and disassembly, and strong adaptability.

[0027] In operation, the material to be mixed is first poured into the mixing tank 1, and then the mixing tank 1 is placed on the support platform 8. Since the mixing tank 1 and the support platform 8 are not fixedly connected, placement and disassembly are convenient, facilitating cleaning or replacement before and after use. The mixing assembly is started, and the mixing motor 2 begins to run, driving the mixing shaft 3 to rotate. The mixing shaft 3 drives the mixing blades at its lower end to perform conventional rotational mixing of the material in the tank, causing the material to flow and mix horizontally. Simultaneously, the drive motor 15 in the actuation device starts working, and its output drives the eccentric cam 16 to rotate. During rotation, the eccentric cam 16 periodically pushes and pulls the lifting rod 12 located above it, causing the lifting rod 12 to swing up and down, thereby driving the connecting plate 10 structure to reciprocate. The connecting plate 10 then drives the bottom plate 9 connected to it to move up and down. The bottom plate 9, through the lifting rod 6, drives the lifting seat 7 and the support platform 8 to reciprocate up and down as a whole, realizing the vertical movement of the mixing tank 1. The vertical movement of the mixing tank 1 causes vertical disturbance in the material inside, which, combined with the original rotary mixing effect, creates a more complex three-dimensional mixing path. This further breaks down flow dead zones and sedimentation areas in traditional mixing, making it particularly suitable for mixing high-viscosity, easily sedimenting, or highly uniform materials. Throughout the process, the cooperation between the guide seat 5 and the lifting rod 6 ensures the smoothness of the lifting process, while the cooperation between the arc-shaped guide groove 23 and the guide pin 24 in the guide frame 22 further restricts the movement trajectory of the lifting rod 12, preventing skewness or vibration and improving the stability and safety of the entire actuation mechanism. After mixing is complete, the operation of the mixing motor 2 and the drive motor 15 is stopped. After the equipment stops, the mixing tank 1 can be easily removed from the support platform 8 for subsequent processing or cleaning.

[0028] 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.
