The Connecting Method for the Spiral Blades of Concrete Mixer Truck

For the spiral blade of the concrete mixing tank of concrete mixer truck, in order to satisfy the stirring and discharging performance, the installation angle and helix angle of the blade should be assigned according to their segmentation function. Due to the different helix angles and the installation tilt angles, a junction gap of blade is formed at the joint, resulting in the severe silting of discharge or the uneven agitation. We put forward a more reasonable solution by using the MFG (method of fitting gradient) to solve the gap connection of spiral blades. The MFG that can reduce the discharging residual rate of the mixing material has been verified by experiments and applied to actual mass production. We also make the coupling simulation of Multi-Physics Field based on simulation software 17-STARCCM+[R] to visually verify the scientificity of design and study the complex stresses distribution inside the actual mixing tank. Finally, we provide an up-to-date reference for the design of spiral logarithmic blade, solving the problem of the gap at the traditional spiral-blade connection.
