A motor is installed on the lower wall of the mounting bracket. The motor is electrically connected to an external power source. A drive gear is installed at the output end of the motor. A toothed groove is opened on the outer wall of the heating cylinder to cooperate with the drive gear. The drive gear is meshed with the toothed groove. A side plate is installed on the outer wall of the heating cylinder. The side plate can agitate the water in the external water bath.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, support plates are installed on both the left and right sides of the lower wall of the mounting bracket. The cross-section of the support plate is L-shaped. The support plate is inserted into an annular groove installed on the side wall of the heating cylinder, and the support plate can slide within the annular groove.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a stirring rod is inserted and installed in the middle of the mounting frame, the lower end of the stirring rod is disposed inside the heating cylinder, and stirring blades are installed on the outer side of the stirring rod.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, handles are installed on both the left and right sides of the upper wall of the mounting bracket.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the side wall of the support plate is provided with a ball groove, and a ball is installed in the ball groove.

[0013] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0014] Please see Figure 1-2 This utility model provides a technical solution: In this technical solution, a concentration device for the production of aerogel materials includes a heating cylinder 1 and a mounting frame 2. The external aerogel material is placed inside the heating cylinder 1. An annular groove 3 is provided on the outer side wall of the heating cylinder 1. The mounting frame 2 is slidably installed in the annular groove 3. The mounting frame 2 can be mounted on the edge of the external water bath. The cooperation between the annular groove 3 and the mounting frame 2 allows the heating cylinder 1 to rotate flexibly relative to the mounting frame 2. Simultaneously, the mounting frame 2 can be securely mounted on the edge of the water bath, facilitating the placement of the heating cylinder 1 in the water bath for heating and concentration operations. This installation method ensures the stability of the device and provides a foundation for the subsequent rotation of the heating cylinder. A motor 4 is installed on the lower wall of the mounting bracket 2. The motor 4 is electrically connected to an external power source. A drive gear 5 is installed at the output end of the motor 4. A toothed groove 6 that mates with the drive gear 5 is opened on the outer wall of the heating cylinder 1. The drive gear 5 meshes with the toothed groove 6. A side plate 7 is installed on the outer wall of the heating cylinder 1. The side plate 7 can agitate the water in the external water bath. In this technical solution, after the motor 4 is powered on, it drives the drive gear 5 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission between the drive gear 5 and the tooth groove 6, the heating cylinder 1 can rotate in the water bath. When the heating cylinder 1 rotates, the side plate 7 rotates accordingly, which can stir the water in the water bath and make the water temperature in the water bath more uniform, thereby avoiding local overheating of the aerogel material and improving the concentration efficiency and quality of the aerogel material in the heating cylinder 1.

[0015] In some technical solutions, support plates 8 are installed on both the left and right sides of the lower wall of the mounting bracket 2. The cross-section of the support plate 8 is L-shaped. The support plate 8 is inserted into the annular groove 3 installed on the side wall of the heating cylinder 1. The support plate 8 can slide in the annular groove 3.

[0016] In this technical solution, the L-shaped support plate 8 can be inserted into the annular groove 3, so that the heating cylinder 1 is hung below the mounting bracket 2.

[0017] In some technical solutions, a stirring rod 9 is inserted and installed in the middle of the mounting frame 2, the lower end of the stirring rod 9 is set in the heating cylinder 1, and a stirring blade 10 is installed on the outside of the stirring rod 9.

[0018] In this technical solution, the stirring rod 9 and the stirring blade 10 are designed to stir the aerogel material in the heating cylinder 1, making the aerogel material heat more evenly, preventing local overheating or insufficient heating, and further improving the concentration effect and quality of the aerogel material.

[0019] In some technical solutions, handles 11 are installed on both the left and right sides of the upper wall of the mounting bracket 2.

[0020] In this technical solution, the installation of handle 11 facilitates the operation of operators to move the entire concentration unit. Alternatively, by connecting handle 11 to the hook of an external crane, operators can more easily and conveniently move the unit during installation, disassembly, or relocation using an external crane, thus improving the ease of use of the unit.

[0021] In some technical solutions, the side wall of the support plate 8 is provided with a ball groove 12, and a ball 13 is installed in the ball groove 12. The ball 13 can fit against the inner wall of the annular slide groove 3. The side wall of the support plate 8 is welded with a reinforcing rib 14, and the upper side of the reinforcing rib 14 is welded to the lower wall of the mounting frame 2.

[0022] In this technical solution, the ball bearing 13 converts the sliding friction between the support plate 8 and the annular groove 3 into rolling friction, which greatly reduces the friction force, makes the heating cylinder 1 rotate more smoothly, reduces energy consumption, and extends the service life of the device. The welding of the reinforcing rib 14 enhances the connection strength between the support plate 8 and the mounting frame 2, further improving the overall stability of the device.

[0023] In some technical solutions, positioning plates 15 are installed on the lower walls at both ends of the mounting bracket 2, and the positioning plates 15 can be inserted into the groove at the edge of the external water bath.

[0024] In this technical solution, the positioning plate 15 cooperates with the edge groove of the water bath to accurately position the mounting frame 2, preventing the mounting frame 2 from shifting or shaking at the edge of the water bath, and ensuring the stability and safety of the entire concentration device during operation.

[0025] Working principle: The mounting frame 2 is set up on the edge of the external water bath, and the positioning plate 15 is inserted into the groove on the edge of the water bath for positioning. The aerogel material is placed into the heating cylinder 1, and the power of the motor 4 is turned on. The motor 4 drives the drive gear 5 to rotate. The drive gear 5 meshes with the tooth groove 6 on the outer wall of the heating cylinder 1, causing the heating cylinder 1 to rotate in the water bath. At the same time, the side plate 7 on the outer side of the heating cylinder 1 stirs the water in the water bath to ensure uniform water temperature. Meanwhile, the stirring rod 9 and stirring blade 10 in the middle of the mounting frame 2 will stir the aerogel material in the heating cylinder 1, so that it is heated evenly, thereby realizing the efficient and stable concentration process of the aerogel material.
