Abstract

A mixing and dispersing apparatus includes a tank body, a stirring part, a dispersing part, and a driving part. The tank body has an accommodating cavity configured to accommodate materials. The stirring part is disposed in the accommodating cavity and configured to mix the materials in the accommodating cavity. The dispersing part is disposed in the accommodating cavity and includes a first cylinder and a second cylinder. The first cylinder has a first cavity in communication with the accommodating cavity, the second cylinder is located in the first cavity, and the second cylinder has a second cavity in communication with the accommodating cavity. The driving part is connected to the stirring part and the dispersing part. The materials mixed in the accommodating cavity flow into the second cavity and flow out after being dispersed in the dispersing part.

Claims (37)

1. A mixing and dispersing apparatus, comprising:

a cylindrical tank body, having an accommodating cavity configured to accommodate materials;

two or more dispersing parts, arranged in the accommodating cavity, wherein each dispersing part comprises a first cylinder and a second cylinder, the first cylinder has a first cavity in communication with the accommodating cavity via a plurality of first flow-out channels, the second cylinder is located in the first cavity, and the second cylinder has a second cavity in communication with the accommodating cavity via a plurality of second flow-out channels;

a stirring part, arranged in the accommodating cavity, wherein the stirring part comprises a first stirring paddle and a second stirring paddle that orbit a central axis of the accommodation cavity, the dispersing parts are arranged off the central axis of the accommodation cavity, and the stirring part is outside of the first cylinders; and

a driving part, connected to the stirring part and the dispersing parts, respectively;

wherein the driving part is configured to rotate the first stirring paddle and the second stirring paddle around the central axis of the accommodation cavity to mix the materials in the accommodating cavity, and

wherein the driving part is also configured to rotate the second cylinder of each dispersing part with respect to the first cylinder of the dispersing part, such that the materials in the accommodating cavity flow into the second cavity and flow out after being dispersed in the dispersing part.

2. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein an inner radius of the first cylinder is 10 mm to 15 mm larger than an outer radius of the second cylinder.

3. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of first shearing teeth are spaced apart along a circumferential direction on a side wall of the first cylinder, a first flow-out channel is formed between adjacent two of the first shearing teeth, and the first flow-out channel is located between and in communication with the first cavity and the accommodating cavity; and

a plurality of second shearing teeth are spaced apart along a circumferential direction on a side wall of the second cylinder, a second flow-out channel is formed between adjacent two of the second shearing teeth, and the second flow-out channel is located between and in communication with the first cavity and the second cavity.

4. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein width of the first flow-out channel is smaller than or equal to width of the second flow-out channel.

5. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the width of the first flow-out channel is 2 mm to 5 mm, and the width of the second flow-out channel is 3 mm to 8 mm.

6. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the first flow-out channel is inclined with respect to a radial direction of the first cylinder; and

the second flow-out channel is inclined with respect to a radial direction of the second cylinder.

7. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

a cross section of the first shearing tooth is an inclined rectangle; and

a cross section of the second shearing tooth is an inclined rectangle.

8. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

an inclination angle of the first shearing tooth is 30° to 45°; and

an inclination angle of the second shearing tooth is 30° to 60°.

9. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the cross section of the first shearing tooth and the cross section of the second shearing tooth are inclined in opposite directions.

10. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second cylinder comprises:

a second cylinder body, having the second cavity;

a transmission member, disposed in the second cavity and connected to the driving part; and

a plurality of support members, connected between the second cylinder body and the transmission member such that the driving part drives the transmission member to drive the second cylinder body to rotate,

wherein a feeding channel of the second cylinder body is formed between adjacent two of the support members, and the feeding channel is in communication with the second cavity.

11. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the support member comprises a guide surface that is inclined toward the second cavity.

12. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein an inclination angle of the guide surface is 30° to 60°.

13. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the driving part comprises:

a first traction source, configured to provide traction for driving the second cylinder to rotate;

a second traction source, configured to provide traction for driving the stirring part to rotate; and

a planetary gearbox, wherein an input end of the planetary gearbox is connected to both the first traction source and the second traction source, and an output end of the planetary gearbox is connected to both the dispersing part and the stirring part.

14. The mixing and dispersing apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein

the mixing and dispersing apparatus further comprises a turnplate, and the turnplate is disposed in the tank body and is in transmission connection with the output end of the planetary gearbox; and

the first cylinder comprises a first cylinder body and a connecting shaft that is connected to an end portion of the first cylinder body, wherein the connecting shaft is also connected to the turnplate.
