[0002] In many production fields such as chemicals, food, and building materials, it is often necessary to mix various materials to ensure uniform mixing and meet the requirements of subsequent production processes. Currently, the widely used spiral agitators on the market are prone to material agglomeration on the spiral mixing belt during long-term mixing. Agglomeration not only affects the mixing effect, leading to uneven mixing, but also, as the agglomerates grow larger, they increase the load on the agitator, reduce its working efficiency, and shorten the equipment's service life.
[0003] Furthermore, in existing spiral mixers, the spiral mixing belt is mostly fixed inside the mixing drum. When clumps form on the spiral mixing belt and need to be cleaned, the operation is very inconvenient, often requiring the disassembly of part of the mixing drum structure. This not only consumes a lot of time and manpower but also affects the production schedule. Therefore...
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides an anti-caking spiral agitator for production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0025] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This application provides an anti-caking spiral mixer for production, including a mixing drum 1 and a base plate 4. An auxiliary component 2 is provided on the top of the base plate 4, and a mixing component 3 is provided inside the mixing drum 1.
[0027] The auxiliary component 2 includes a vertical plate 21, which is fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 4. A groove 22 is provided inside the vertical plate 21, and a slider 24 is slidably connected inside the groove 22. A horizontal plate 26 is fixedly installed on the front of the slider 24, and a rotating rod 33 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate 26. A spiral stirring belt 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating rod 33. The spiral stirring belt 32 is located inside the stirring drum 1, and a controller 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical plate 21.
[0028] A top cover 7 is inserted into the top of the mixing drum 1. A handle 8 is fixedly installed on the top of the top cover 7. Both top covers 7 are semi-circular, and the two top covers 7 form a complete circle inserted into the top of the mixing drum 1. The top cover 7 can prevent dust from entering the mixing drum 1, and the handle 8 makes it easy to open the top cover 7 to add materials into the mixing drum 1.
[0029] A central hole 9 is provided in the center of the top cover 7, and the rotating rod 33 passes through the interior of the central hole 9. The central hole 9 provides space for the rotation and up-down movement of the rotating rod 33.
[0030] A second motor 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate 26. The output end of the second motor 31 moves through the interior of the horizontal plate 26 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 33. The second motor 31 is electrically connected to the controller 6. The controller 6 can control the start and stop of the second motor 31, thereby driving the rotating rod 33 and the spiral stirring belt 32 to rotate, so as to realize the stirring of materials.
[0031] Two connecting rods 35 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 26. A bearing bracket 34 is fixedly installed between the bottoms of the connecting rods 35. A stabilizing bearing 36 is rotatably connected inside the bearing bracket 34. The rotating rod 33 passes through the inside of the stabilizing bearing 36. The stabilizing bearing 36 can support and stabilize the rotating rod 33, reduce the shaking of the rotating rod 33 during rotation, and ensure the stability of the stirring process.
[0032] A discharge solenoid valve 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mixing drum 1. The discharge solenoid valve 5 is electrically connected to the controller 6. When the material is mixed, the controller 6 controls the discharge solenoid valve 5 to open, so that the mixed material can be discharged.
[0033] The slide groove 22 is internally connected to a screw 23, which is screwed through the inside of the slider 24. The lead angle of the screw 23 is less than the equivalent friction angle, which gives the screw 23 a self-locking function, which can stably fix the slider 24 in the required position. The outside of the screw 23 is coated with protective and lubricating grease, which can reduce the friction between the screw 23 and the slider 24, extend the service life, and at the same time play a protective role to prevent the screw 23 from rusting.
[0034] A first motor 25 is fixedly installed on the top of the vertical plate 21. The output end of the first motor 25 moves through the interior of the vertical plate 21 and is fixedly connected to the screw 23. The first motor 25 is electrically connected to the controller 6. The controller 6 can control the forward and reverse rotation and start and stop of the first motor 25, thereby driving the screw 23 to rotate, causing the slider 24 to slide up and down in the slide groove 22, thereby driving the horizontal plate 26, the rotating rod 33 and the spiral stirring belt 32 to move up and down.
[0035] Furthermore, all contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art, and all electrical components mentioned in this document are powered by external power supply lines.
[0036] Working principle: The operator opens the two semi-circular top covers 7 through the handle 8 on the top of the top cover 7, pours the material to be mixed into the mixing drum 1, and after the material is added, closes the top cover 7 again, allowing the rotating rod 33 to pass through the central hole 9. The operator starts the second motor 31 through the controller 6. The second motor 31 drives the rotating rod 33 and the spiral mixing belt 32 to rotate, starting to mix the material in the mixing drum 1. During the mixing process, to prevent the material from clumping on the spiral mixing belt 32, the operator starts the first motor 25 through the controller 6 and controls the first motor 25 to rotate forward and reverse. The first motor 25 drives the screw 23 to rotate forward and reverse, causing the slider 24 to slide up and down in the groove 22. The slider 24 drives the horizontal plate 26, the rotating rod 33, and the spiral mixing belt 32 to move up and down. By controlling the operating parameters of the first motor 25, the speed and amplitude of the spiral mixing belt 32 moving up and down can be adjusted. According to the characteristics of the material and the mixing situation, it can be adjusted to a suitable range to achieve the best anti-caking effect. During the mixing process, the stabilizing bearing 36 supports and stabilizes the rotating rod 33, reducing the shaking of the rotating rod 33 and ensuring the stability of the mixing process, so that the material can be fully and evenly mixed. After the material is mixed, the operator turns off the second motor 31 and the first motor 25 through the controller 6, and then controls the discharge solenoid valve 5 to open. The mixed material is discharged through the discharge solenoid valve 5 under the action of gravity and enters the subsequent production process. After the material is discharged, the operator closes the discharge solenoid valve 5 through the controller 6 to complete one material mixing operation.
[0037] When clumps are found on the spiral mixing belt 32 during the mixing process, or when the spiral mixing belt 32 needs to be cleaned periodically after multiple mixing operations, first stop the material mixing operation, turn off the second motor 31 through the controller 6 to stop the spiral mixing belt 32 from rotating. If there is still material remaining in the mixing drum 1, first open the discharge solenoid valve 5 through the controller 6 to discharge the remaining material, and then close the discharge solenoid valve 5. The operator starts the first motor 25 through the controller 6 to control the first motor 25 to rotate forward, driving the screw 23 to rotate forward, causing the slider 24 to slide upward in the slide groove 22. The slider 24 drives the horizontal plate 26, the rotating rod 33 and the spiral mixing belt 32 to move upward. During the upward movement of the spiral mixing belt 32, the operator closely observes the position of the spiral mixing belt 32. When the spiral mixing belt 32 has completely moved upward... After exiting the mixing drum 1, the first motor 25 is turned off via the controller 6. At this time, due to the self-locking function of the screw 23, the slider 24 will remain stably in the current position, and the spiral mixing belt 32 will also remain in the state of being removed from the mixing drum 1. The operator can directly use tools such as brushes and scrapers to clean the clumps on the spiral mixing belt 32 and remove them completely. After the clumps are cleaned, the operator starts the first motor 25 via the controller 6 to reverse the first motor 25, which drives the screw 23 to reverse the direction, causing the slider 24 to slide downward in the slide groove 22. This, in turn, drives the horizontal plate 26, the rotating rod 33, and the spiral mixing belt 32 to move downward until the spiral mixing belt 32 returns to the normal mixing position inside the mixing drum 1. Finally, the first motor 25 is turned off via the controller 6, the cleaning operation is completed, and the equipment can continue to perform material mixing operations.
