Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of water-based coating processing technology, and specifically relates to a storage device for water-based coating processing. Background Technology
[0002] The processing of water-based coatings is a fine chemical process involving multiple disciplines. It is not just about mixing raw materials, but about transforming water-based resins, pigments, fillers, additives and water into a product with stable performance and the expected coating effect through a series of strict physical and chemical treatments. The storage of water-based coatings directly affects the stability of the coating and the quality of the final product. Therefore, the storage of water-based coatings during the processing is very important.
[0003] Existing storage devices for water-based coatings use stainless steel, carbon steel lined with fiberglass, or epoxy resin coated tanks. The tank bottom is conical or sloping to facilitate material discharge. An agitator, typically a paddle or frame type, is installed on the tank to prevent pigments and fillers from settling and to ensure effective agitation throughout the tank to prevent sedimentation dead zones. During water-based coating processing, the coating is added to the storage tank, and a motor drives the connected agitator to rotate, achieving efficient agitation of the coating. However, in actual use, due to the viscous structure of the coating and the relatively unidirectional agitation, the coating's uniformity varies across different areas during storage, potentially affecting its stability and the final product quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, this utility model addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a storage device for water-based coating processing. It can generate complex fluid movement within the storage cylinder, greatly enhancing the stirring intensity and convection diffusion effect. This effectively breaks down the structural viscosity of the coating, prevents pigments and fillers from settling and stratifying, and ensures that the coating always remains in a uniform state. This is crucial for ensuring the storage quality and subsequent performance of water-based coatings.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a storage device for processing water-based coatings, including a storage cylinder, an installation base fixedly installed at the top of the storage cylinder, a slide cylinder slidably installed at the bottom of the installation base, a drive box fixedly installed at the bottom of the slide cylinder, a rotating seat fixedly installed at the bottom of the drive box, and multiple stirring shafts rotatably installed on the rotating seat, with multiple agitators fixedly installed on the outer arc surface of each stirring shaft.
[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, a rotating rod is rotatably arranged in the middle of the rotating seat, and multiple bevel gears are fixedly arranged on the outer arc surface of the rotating rod. A bevel gear is fixedly sleeved on one end of the stirring shaft near the rotating rod, and the bevel gears are respectively meshed with the adjacent bevel gears. A servo motor is arranged inside the drive box, and the output shaft of the servo motor is fixed to the rotating rod by a coupling.
[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a guide ring is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting base, and a guide rail is opened at the top of the guide ring. Multiple rotating shafts are fixedly installed at the top of the slide cylinder, and guide wheels are rotatably installed on the outer arc surface of each rotating shaft. The guide wheels are all installed in conjunction with the guide rail. A drive rod is slidably installed at the top of the slide cylinder. A second servo motor is installed on the upper surface of the mounting base. The output shaft of the second servo motor is fixed to the drive rod through a coupling. A fixing plate is fixedly installed on the upper side of the outer arc surface of the drive rod. A return spring is installed between the fixing plate and the top of the slide cylinder. The return spring is sleeved on the outer arc surface of the drive rod. Complex fluid movement can be formed in the storage cylinder, which greatly enhances the stirring intensity and convection diffusion effect. It can effectively break the structural viscosity of the coating, prevent pigments and fillers from settling and separating, and ensure that the coating always maintains a uniform state. This is crucial for ensuring the storage quality and subsequent performance of water-based coatings.
[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a feed pipe is fixedly installed at the upper end of the storage cylinder, and a solenoid valve is installed at the top of the feed pipe. A discharge pipe is fixedly installed at the lower end of the storage cylinder, and a solenoid valve is installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe. A support is fixedly installed on the lower side of the storage cylinder. The feeding and discharging of the coating (controlled by solenoid valves one and two) and the entire stirring process are all managed by an electronic control system. This significantly reduces the intensity of manual operation, improves efficiency, and makes it easy to achieve timed stirring or on-demand stirring, helping to maintain the stability of the coating performance.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Firstly, the agitator rotates around its own axis under the drive of servo motor one (rotation), and simultaneously reciprocates horizontally around the vertical center of the storage cylinder under the drive of servo motor two (revolution). Combined with the up-and-down undulating motion generated by the guide wheel and guide rail, this composite motion can create complex fluid motion within the storage cylinder, greatly enhancing the stirring intensity and convection diffusion effect. This effectively breaks down the structural viscosity of the coating, prevents pigments and fillers from settling and stratifying, and ensures that the coating always remains in a uniform state. This is crucial for ensuring the storage quality and subsequent performance of water-based coatings.
[0010] Secondly, the feeding and discharging of the coating (controlled by solenoid valve one and solenoid valve two) and the entire mixing process are all managed by an electronic control system. This significantly reduces the intensity of manual operation, improves efficiency, and makes it easy to achieve timed or on-demand mixing, helping to maintain the stability of the coating performance.
[0011] Third, the intense, multi-directional fluid motion can effectively flush the inner wall of the storage cylinder, reducing the adhesion and retention of paint on the wall surface. This not only reduces the difficulty and frequency of cleaning, but also reduces material waste.
[0012] Fourth, by connecting to external conveying pipe groups through the feed pipe and discharge pipe, it is easy to integrate into automated paint production and distribution systems, realizing continuous feeding, storage and discharge operations, and optimizing the overall workflow.

Detailed Implementation
[0016] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.
[0017] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, the device includes a storage cylinder 102. A mounting base 201 is fixedly installed at the top of the storage cylinder 102. A slide cylinder 202 is slidably installed at the bottom of the mounting base 201. A drive box 203 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the slide cylinder 202. A rotating seat 204 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the drive box 203. Multiple stirring shafts 205 are rotatably installed on the rotating seat 204. Multiple agitators 206 are fixedly installed on the outer arc surface of the stirring shafts 205.
[0018] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a rotating rod 208 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the rotating seat 204. Multiple bevel gears 209 are fixedly mounted on the outer arc surface of the rotating rod 208. A bevel gear 207 is fixedly mounted on one end of the stirring shaft 205 near the rotating rod 208. The bevel gear 207 meshes with the adjacent bevel gear 209. A servo motor 210 is installed inside the drive box 203. The output shaft of the servo motor 210 is fixed to the rotating rod 208 by a coupling.
[0019] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a guide ring 211 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting base 201. A guide rail 212 is provided at the top of the guide ring 211. Multiple rotating shafts 213 are fixedly installed at the top of the slide cylinder 202. Guide wheels 214 are rotatably installed on the outer arc surface of each rotating shaft 213. The guide wheels 214 are all installed in conjunction with the guide rails 212. A drive rod 215 is slidably installed at the top of the slide cylinder 202. A servo motor 217 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting base 201. The output shaft of the servo motor 217 is fixed to the drive rod 215 through a coupling. A fixing plate 216 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the outer arc surface of the drive rod 215. A return spring 218 is installed between the fixing plate 216 and the top of the slide cylinder 202. The return spring 218 is sleeved on the outer arc surface of the drive rod 215.
[0020] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a feed pipe 103 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the storage cylinder 102, and a solenoid valve 104 is installed at the top of the feed pipe 103. A discharge pipe 105 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the storage cylinder 102, and a solenoid valve 106 is installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe 105.
[0021] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a bracket 101 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the storage cylinder 102.
[0022] In use, the feed pipe 103 and the discharge pipe 105 are connected to different positions of the external conveying pipe assembly. Then, the solenoid valve 104 is controlled to open the feed pipe 103, allowing the water-based paint to enter the storage cylinder 102 through the feed pipe 103. The storage cylinder 102 then stores the water-based paint. When it is necessary to discharge the water-based paint stored in the storage cylinder 102, the solenoid valve 106 is controlled to open the discharge pipe 105, allowing the water-based paint to be discharged into the external conveying pipe assembly. This significantly reduces the intensity of manual operation, improves efficiency, and facilitates timed or on-demand stirring, helping to maintain stable paint performance. During storage, the operation of servo motor 210 and servo motor 217 is controlled, causing the output shaft of servo motor 210 to drive the rotating rod 208 connected to it to rotate. This, in turn, causes the rotating rod 208 to drive the bevel gear 209 mounted on its outer arc surface to rotate synchronously. During the rotation of bevel gear 209, the meshing relationship between bevel gear 209 and bevel gear 207 causes the stirring shaft 205, where bevel gear 207 is located, to rotate vertically. This causes the stirring shaft 205 to drive the multiple agitators 206 mounted on it to rotate vertically. The output shaft of servo motor 217 rotates in both directions, causing the drive rod 215 connected to it to rotate in both directions. The reciprocating rotation of the drive rod 215 causes the sliding cylinder 202, which is slidably connected to it, to rotate in a reciprocating manner. This, in turn, causes the rotating seat 204 located on the lower side of the sliding cylinder 202 to rotate in a horizontal reciprocating manner. This causes the rotating seat 204 to drive the stirring shaft 205 to rotate in a horizontal reciprocating manner while rotating in a vertical direction. This, in turn, causes the multiple agitators 206 on the stirring shaft 205 to rotate in a horizontal reciprocating manner around the vertical center of the storage cylinder 102 while rotating in a vertical direction. The intense, multi-directional fluid motion can effectively flush the inner wall of the storage cylinder, reducing the adhesion and retention of paint on the wall surface. This not only reduces the difficulty and frequency of cleaning, but also reduces material waste. During the reciprocating rotation of the slide cylinder 202, multiple rotating shafts 213 mounted on it rotate around the vertical center of the slide cylinder 202. This causes the guide wheels 214 on the rotating shafts 213 to move up and down on the guide rail 212, which in turn causes the slide cylinder 202 to move up and down during the reciprocating rotation. This causes the multiple agitators 206 on the stirring shaft 205 to rotate vertically during the up-and-down motion and to reciprocate horizontally around the vertical center of the storage cylinder 102. This allows for multi-directional and multi-angle agitation of the water-based coatings stored in the storage cylinder 102. Rapid and uniform agitation can achieve efficient homogenization of coatings and prevent material sedimentation. This complex motion can create complex fluid movement within the storage container, greatly enhancing the stirring intensity and convection diffusion effect. It can effectively break down the structural viscosity of the coating, prevent pigments and fillers from settling and stratifying, and ensure that the coating always remains in a uniform state. This is crucial for ensuring the storage quality and subsequent performance of water-based coatings. Furthermore, the intense, multi-directional fluid movement can effectively flush the inner wall of the storage container, reducing the adhesion and retention of coatings on the wall surface. This not only reduces the difficulty and frequency of cleaning but also reduces material waste.
