Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of mixers, and in particular to a cleaning device for the feed inlet of a mixer. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, mixers, as key equipment in material processing, are widely used in various industries such as chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and building materials. They are primarily used to uniformly mix materials of different properties to meet the requirements of subsequent production processes for material composition uniformity. A typical mixer usually consists of a mixing drum to hold the materials, a power unit to drive the mixing drum, and a stirring assembly to agitate the materials. The mixing drum, as the material container, has its inlet as the key channel for material entry and exit, playing a crucial role in the mixing and discharge process.

[0003] However, the cleaning of the feed inlet has been a persistent problem for manufacturers during the long-term use of mixers. Traditional mixer feed inlet cleaning largely relies on manual operation; workers must manually wipe and clean the inlet after the mixer has finished mixing and discharging the materials. This cleaning method is not only inefficient but also consumes a significant amount of time and effort, increasing the company's labor costs. Furthermore, manual cleaning often fails to guarantee a thorough and complete cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issue of manual cleaning of the feed inlet in existing mixers, this application provides a feed inlet cleaning device for mixers.

[0005] The technical solution of the mixing machine inlet cleaning device provided in this application is as follows: A cleaning device for the feed inlet of a mixer includes a base, the base comprising a seat box and a device support, the device support being mounted on the upper surface of the seat box and fixedly connected to the seat box, a concave seat being vertically fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the device support, a mixing drum being rotatably mounted in the middle of the concave seat, a motor for driving the mixing drum to rotate being mounted on the side of the concave seat, a stirring assembly being mounted on the bottom of the mixing drum, a movable frame being obliquely mounted on one end of the device support, the movable frame being slidably connected to the device support, and an electric cylinder for driving the movable frame to extend and retract being mounted on the device support, a cleaning assembly corresponding to the mixing drum being fixedly mounted on the head of the movable frame.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the base provides stable support for the entire device, and the base box can be used to store some miscellaneous items or as a mounting base for other components. The equipment bracket is used to install components such as the concave seat and the movable frame, ensuring the overall layout of the device. The concave seat allows the mixing tank to be installed and rotated stably, and the motor can drive the mixing tank to flip, facilitating the loading and unloading of materials and cleaning of the inlet. The stirring component can fully stir the materials in the mixing tank, improving the mixing effect. The movable frame is slidably connected to the equipment bracket, and its extension and retraction are driven by an electric cylinder, enabling the cleaning component to accurately reach the mixing tank inlet for cleaning, realizing automated cleaning and improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0007] Optionally, the seat includes a main housing and an exhaust housing, the exhaust housing is obliquely installed on one side of the main housing, and a support frame for supporting the exhaust housing is fixedly installed on the outer side of the main housing.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the chassis features a main housing and a drain housing design. The drain housing is installed at an angle on one side of the main housing. When liquid materials overflow from the mixing tank or wastewater is generated during cleaning, it can be discharged through the drain housing, preventing liquid from accumulating in the main housing and damaging the components inside the chassis. It also facilitates centralized wastewater treatment and maintains a clean working environment. The support frame enhances the stability of the drain housing, ensuring its long-term stable drainage function.

[0009] Optionally, the equipment support includes a horizontal frame and a guide frame for sliding installation of the movable frame. The horizontal frame is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the main housing, and the guide frame is fixedly installed on one end of the horizontal frame.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the equipment support consists of a horizontal frame and a guide frame. The horizontal frame is fixedly installed on the main housing, providing a stable installation foundation for the entire equipment support. The guide frame is used for the sliding installation of the movable frame, allowing the movable frame to move along a specific direction during extension and retraction.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the concave seat consists of a base plate and side plates, with the side plates installed on both sides of the base plate. This structural design allows the mixing tank to be stably rotated and installed in the middle of the concave seat. The base plate provides stable support for the side plates, while the side plates provide rotational support points for the side axis of the mixing tank, ensuring the stability and reliability of the mixing tank during the tilting process, enabling the mixing tank to smoothly complete the material loading, unloading, and cleaning operations.

[0015] Optionally, the mixing tank includes a main tank body and a side shaft rotatably connected to the side plate. The side shaft is symmetrically installed on both sides of the main tank body and is fixedly connected to the main tank body.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the main body of the mixing tank is used to hold materials, and the side shafts are symmetrically installed on both sides of the main body and rotatably connected to the side plates. This design allows the mixing tank to rotate freely around the side shafts. The motor drives the side shafts to rotate, realizing the tilting of the mixing tank, which facilitates the loading and unloading of materials and the cleaning of the feed inlet, while also ensuring the balance of the mixing tank during rotation and reducing damage to the equipment.

[0017] Optionally, the stirring assembly includes a second motor and a stirring impeller. The second motor is fixedly installed at the center of the lower end face of the main tank, and the stirring impeller is installed at the output end of the second motor.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the second motor of the stirring assembly is fixedly installed at the center of the lower end face of the main tank, which can stably drive the stirring impeller to rotate. Driven by the second motor, the stirring impeller stirs the materials in the mixing tank, ensuring thorough mixing and improving the mixing quality. The design of installing the second motor at the center of the lower end face of the main tank makes the stirring impeller's stirring more uniform, avoiding localized uneven mixing during the mixing process.

[0019] Optionally, the cleaning assembly includes a motor, a cleaning disc, and external brush bristles. The motor is fixedly mounted on the head of the movable frame, the center of the cleaning disc is fixedly fitted onto the output shaft of the motor, and the external brush bristles are evenly fixed on the outer surface of the cleaning disc.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the three motors of the cleaning component are fixedly installed at the head of the movable frame, driving the cleaning disc to rotate. The evenly fixed outer bristles on the outer surface of the cleaning disc thoroughly clean the mixing tank inlet during rotation, removing material residue. The stable drive of the three motors ensures the rotation speed and stability of the cleaning disc, while the even distribution of the outer bristles makes cleaning more thorough and improves the cleaning effect.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This application utilizes an electric cylinder to drive the telescopic extension and retraction of the movable frame, enabling the cleaning component to quickly and accurately reach the mixing tank's feed inlet position. A three-motor drive rotates the cleaning disc, and the external brush cleans the feed inlet, achieving automated cleaning, significantly improving cleaning efficiency, and reducing the time and workload of manual cleaning. The stirring component thoroughly mixes the materials in the mixing tank, preventing material residue. Simultaneously, the external brush of the cleaning component comprehensively cleans the feed inlet, removing various residues, ensuring the cleaning effect of the mixer's feed inlet, and improving the mixing quality and product quality of the mixer. Timely cleaning of the mixer's feed inlet prevents corrosion from material residue, reduces equipment damage, extends the mixer's service life, and lowers equipment maintenance costs.
