Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of stirring mechanism technology, specifically to an intermittent stirring mechanism for preventing agglomeration in aluminum powder finished product storage tanks. Background Technology

[0002] When aluminum powder is stored inside a storage tank, it is prone to compaction, caking, and clumping due to its own weight and the time it has been left to stand. The clumped aluminum powder is difficult to discharge, which directly affects its subsequent processing and use.

[0003] Most existing tank mixing devices are continuous mixers, which can cause aluminum powder to break and generate too much dust, resulting in high energy consumption. Some intermittent mixing devices require multiple drive sources to drive the central mixer and the tank wall scraper, which are complex in structure and have high manufacturing costs. Multiple drive sources can also easily lead to asynchronous movements and misalignment of scraping and mixing actions. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides an intermittent stirring mechanism for preventing agglomeration of aluminum powder finished product storage tank, which can effectively solve the problems in the existing technology.

The cover plate covers the opening of the finished product tank, and the drive motor is installed at the bottom of the finished product tank. The drive motor has a motor output shaft, which is connected to a drive wheel. The main stirring assembly includes a main rotating rod and main blades. The main rotating rod is fixedly installed in the center of a five-star disk and rotates intermittently with the five-star disk. The side stirring assembly includes multiple auxiliary rotating rods, side wall scrapers, and intermittent blades. The auxiliary rotating rods are arranged circumferentially outside the main rotating rod, and are fixedly installed on the auxiliary rotating rods. The side wall scraper has an intermittent plate fixedly connected to the lower end of the auxiliary rotating rod. A small lever is provided on the drive wheel, and a five-star disk and a water droplet disk are sequentially mounted above the drive wheel. The five-star disk has an inner groove for cooperating with the small lever and a large arc-shaped contact surface for locking and positioning. The drive wheel rotates continuously with the output shaft of the motor, and the small lever rotates continuously and alternately inserts into the inner groove of the five-star disk, driving the five-star disk to rotate intermittently. The five-star disk is driven to connect to the water droplet disk, and the water droplet disk is driven to cooperate with the intermittent plate. The water droplet disk drives the intermittent plate to achieve a single 120° intermittent rotation. A controller is provided on the outer wall of the finished product tank, and the controller is electrically connected to the drive motor.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a lower plate and an upper plate. The lower plate is fixed above the drive motor, and the five-star disk and the water drop disk are rotatably assembled on the lower plate. The upper plate is located above the lower plate, the auxiliary rotating rod rotatably passes through the upper plate, and the intermittent plate is located between the upper plate and the lower plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the water droplet disk is provided with a large contact groove, a small contact groove, and a large lever; when the five-star disk rotates intermittently, the large arc-shaped contact surface of the five-star disk can be embedded in the small contact groove of the water droplet disk to achieve locking and positioning. The driving part of the five-star disk cooperates with the large contact groove to drive the water droplet disk to rotate synchronously and intermittently. The large lever of the water droplet disk is used to drive the intermittent plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the intermittent plate has an intermittent inner groove and a small arc-shaped contact surface; the large lever of the water droplet can be inserted into the intermittent inner groove to drive the intermittent plate to rotate, and the small arc-shaped contact surface is used for positioning and locking after rotation into place.

[0009] Furthermore, the sidewall scraper extends axially along the auxiliary rotating rod and is arranged close to the inner wall of the finished product tank.

[0010] Furthermore, the main blade is a helical blade, which is fixed to the main rotating rod and located inside the annular area formed by multiple auxiliary rotating rods.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects that this utility model can achieve are: setting a drive motor as a power source, the motor output shaft drives the drive wheel to rotate continuously, and drives the main stirring component and the side stirring component respectively through the intermittent transmission mechanism. The central stirring and the tank wall scraping action are executed synchronously and intermittently, eliminating multiple sets of drive components, simplifying the overall structure, and reducing equipment costs; Meanwhile, through the multi-stage intermittent cooperation of the five-star plate, water drop plate, and intermittent plate, combined with multiple sets of locking arcs and contact grooves, it can reliably lock and position itself after rotation into place. The intermittent rotation angle is stable, and the intermittent plate achieves 120° rotation each time, which can scrape aluminum powder off the tank wall at specific points and prevent aluminum powder from accumulating and agglomerating on the tank wall.

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0017] Example: An intermittent stirring mechanism for preventing agglomeration in an aluminum powder finished product storage tank, as shown in the attached document. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 6 The finished product tank 1 serves as a storage container for aluminum powder. The cover plate 5 is sealed at the opening of the finished product tank 1. The drive motor 6 is installed at the bottom of the finished product tank 1. The motor output shaft 103 of the drive motor 6 extends upward and is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 10. During operation, the drive motor 6 drives the drive wheel 10 to rotate continuously.

[0018] The lower plate 7 is fixedly installed above the drive motor 6. The five-star disk 11 and the teardrop disk 9 are rotatably mounted on the lower plate 7, and the upper plate 8 is set above the lower plate 7. The auxiliary rotating rod 41 is rotatably mounted on the upper plate 8, and the intermittent plate 43 is arranged between the upper plate 8 and the lower plate 7. A small lever 102 is set on the drive wheel 10. The drive wheel 10 rotates continuously, and the small lever 102 periodically inserts into the inner groove 112 of the five-star disk 11, causing the five-star disk 11 to rotate through a set angle. When the small lever 102 disengages from the inner groove 112, the five-star disk 11 stops rotating, thereby realizing the intermittent movement of the five-star disk 11.

[0019] A main rotating rod 31 is fixed in the middle of the five-star disk 11. The main rotating rod 31 rotates intermittently with the five-star disk 11. A spiral main blade 32 is fixed on the main rotating rod 31. The main blade 32 is located in the middle of the tank and intermittently stirs the aluminum powder in the tank to prevent the aluminum powder in the middle of the tank from compacting and clumping. The large arc-shaped contact surface 111 on the five-star disk 11 cooperates with the small contact groove 101 of the water droplet disk 9 to achieve locking and positioning. The driving part of the five-star disk 11 cooperates with the large contact groove 91 of the water droplet disk 9 to drive the water droplet disk 9 to rotate synchronously and intermittently with the five-star disk 11.

[0020] The water droplet plate 9 is equipped with a large lever 92, which can be engaged in the intermittent inner groove 431 of the intermittent plate 43 to drive the intermittent plate 43 to complete a single 120° intermittent rotation; the small arc-shaped contact surface 44 of the intermittent plate 43 is used to lock and position it after rotation. Multiple auxiliary rotating rods 41 are fixed to the upper end of the intermittent plate 43. The auxiliary rotating rods 41 pass upward through the upper plate 8. Side wall scrapers 42 are fixed on the auxiliary rotating rods 41. The side wall scrapers 42 are close to the inner wall of the finished product tank 1. When the intermittent plate 43 rotates intermittently, it drives the auxiliary rotating rods 41 and the side wall scrapers 42 to intermittently scrape off the aluminum powder attached and caking on the tank wall.

[0021] A controller 2 is installed on the outside of the finished product tank 1. The controller 2 is electrically connected to the drive motor 6. The controller controls the start and stop of the drive motor and the working time, thereby controlling the working cycle of the entire intermittent stirring mechanism.

[0022] Working principle: The drive motor 6 starts, and the motor output shaft 103 drives the drive wheel 10 to rotate continuously; the small lever 102 rotates with the drive wheel, intermittently actuating the five-star disk 11; the five-star disk 11 drives the central main rotating rod 31 and the main blade 32 to intermittently stir the aluminum powder in the tank, and drives the water droplet disk 9 to rotate synchronously and intermittently; the water droplet disk 9 then drives the outer intermittent plate 43, and the intermittent plate 43 drives the auxiliary rotating rod 41 and the side wall scraper 42 to rotate intermittently to scrape off the aluminum powder clumps on the tank wall; during the stage when the mechanism does not rotate, each locking arc is embedded in the contact groove to achieve position locking, ensuring the stability of the mechanism position, thereby completing the intermittent anti-caking stirring operation of the aluminum powder storage tank.

[0023] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions will not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
