Abstract

In order to make good-quality concrete, a concrete mixer for mixing materials of concrete by rotation is provided so as to enhance fluidity of a mixture. A mounting frame 7 supporting a drum 2 of a concrete mixer 1 fixes a vibration device 25 via a mounting plate 21 . A pair of arms 20 is integrally formed with both ends of the mounting plate 21 , while rollers 24 rotationally supported by one ends of the arms 20 respectively contact the outer periphery of the drum 2 . A vibration of the vibration device 25 is transmitted from the rollers 24 rotatably supported by the pair of arms 20 to the drum 2 , so that the drum 2 vibrates while it rotates. Accordingly, a mixture is liquefied, and thus concrete having a good quality can be produced.

Claims (17)

1. A concrete mixer rotatably supporting a drum to a mounting frame and rotating said drum while using a driving motor so as to mix various kinds of materials in said drum, comprising:

a vibration device fixed to at least said mounting frame; and

a vibration transmitting means for transmitting a vibration of said vibration device to said drum is provided on said mounting frame, said vibration transmitting means comprising:

a pair of arms integrally protruding from said mounting frame;

rotation members rotatably supported by ends of said pair of arms respectively, said rotation members contacting said drum,

wherein said drum has a cylindrical shape having an open end and a bottom portion, said drum including a plurality of agitating blades inside thereof,

wherein said mounting frame has a bearing on a central part thereof in order to rotatably support a rotation shaft, said shaft being provided on the bottom portion of said drum in a protruding manner; and

wherein said vibration device is fixed adjacent to said bearing.

2. The concrete mixer according to claim 1 , wherein:

said pair of arms is provided on both ends of a mounting plate, said mounting plate being stacked on said mounting frame and being fixed thereon so that said pair of arms is arranged symmetrically relative to said vibration device as a center thereof; and

each of said rotation members is rotationally supported by one of said arms.

3. A concrete mixer for fixing a drum to a mounting frame and mixing various kinds of materials in said drum while rotating agitating blades provided inside said drum.

wherein said drum has a cylindrical shape having an open end and a bottom portion;

wherein a vibration device is provided on the bottom portion of said drum;

wherein an elevation driving means is provided for moving said agitating blades up and down;

wherein said mounting frame comprises a slope member for fixing said drum and said agitating blades; and

wherein said drum is rotatably fixed to said slope member.
