Abstract

A mixing vessel includes a vessel body, a clamping device and a stirrer. The vessel body includes a bottom panel and a vessel wall upwardly extended from the border of the bottom panel. The bottom panel defines a top surface, an opposing bottom surface and an opening cut through the top surface and the bottom surface. The clamping device is connected to the bottom panel of the vessel body and clamped on the top surface and the bottom surface of the bottom panel. The stirrer is inserted through the opening of the bottom panel of the vessel body and connected to the clamping device. Thus, subject to fixation of the clamping device to the bottom panel of the vessel body, the mixing vessel presents the bottom panel of the vessel body from deformation due to heat.

Claims

1. A mixing vessel, comprising:

a vessel body comprising a bottom panel and a vessel wall upwardly extended from a border of said bottom panel, said bottom panel comprising a top surface, an opposing bottom surface and an opening cut through said top surface and said bottom surface;

a clamping device connected to said bottom panel of said vessel body and clamped on said top surface and said bottom surface of said bottom panel;

a stirrer housing comprising a head and a body, said head being upward and outward expanded from said body, said body inserted through said opening of said bottom panel of said vessel body; and

a stirrer assembly inserted through said stirrer housing;

wherein said clamping device comprises a metal pressure plate and a bottom block, said metal pressure plate is contacted and located at said top surface of said bottom panel of said vessel body, a top surface of said metal pressure plate is an entire flat surface, said head is abutted upon said top surface of said metal pressure plate, said bottom block is located at said bottom surface of said bottom panel of said vessel body;

said head of said stirrer housing is configured to push said metal pressure plate to contact said bottom panel of said vessel body, said body of said stirrer housing is connected to said bottom block and supports said bottom panel of said vessel body.

2. The mixing vessel as claimed in claim 1, wherein said metal pressure plate is made of stainless steel.

3. The mixing vessel as claimed in claim 1, wherein said clamping device further comprises a plurality of fasteners adapted to secure said vessel body and said bottom block of said clamping device together.

4. The mixing vessel as claimed in claim 1, wherein said clamping device further comprises a waterproof gasket squeezed in between said metal pressure plate and said bottom panel of said vessel body.

5. The mixing vessel as claimed in claim 4, wherein said metal pressure plate comprises a circular flat board and a extend wall, said circular flat board comprising a through hole disposed in communication with said opening of said bottom panel of said vessel body, said extend wall extending downwardly from said circular flat board around said through hole, said extend wall having a top edge and an opposing bottom edge, said bottom edge of said extend wall being abutted against said bottom panel of said vessel body, said top surface is provided on said circular flat board.

6. The mixing vessel as claimed in claim 5, wherein said clamping device further comprises a water seal ring mounted between said extend wall of said metal pressure plate of said clamping device and said body of said stirrer housing.

7. The mixing vessel as claimed in claim 1, wherein said clamping device further comprises a water seal ring mounted between said metal pressure plate of said clamping device and said body of said stirrer housing.

8. The mixing vessel as claimed in claim 1, wherein an outer contour of said vessel body exhibits a rhombic shape, a contour of said bottom panel of said vessel body exhibits a rhombic shape.

9. The mixing vessel as claimed in claim 1, wherein said clamping device further comprises a shockproof gasket mounted between said bottom block and said bottom panel of said vessel body.
