Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a spiral quantitative feeding device for food additives. Background Art

[0002] Food additives refer to one or more substances added to food during the food production process to improve the quality, safety, nutritional value or appearance of food. The food additive industry has an important contribution and position in modern food production. It not only improves the shelf life of food and reduces food waste, but also ensures food safety and prevents the growth of harmful microorganisms in food. In addition, food additives can enhance the nutritional value of food and make it more abundant and diverse.

[0003] In the food production process, the addition of food additives is usually a precise and strictly controlled process: before production, the staff will accurately weigh one or more additives to be used according to the formula, and in the actual production process, the staff will gradually add the additives to the food base according to the processing procedures, and then use mixing, stirring or homogenization equipment to make the additives evenly distributed in the food. This process of adding, mixing and stirring takes a lot of time to ensure uniform mixing. This not only increases the time required for food processing, but also increases the workload of staff and equipment users, and reduces the production efficiency of the enterprise.

[0004] In view of this, in order to overcome the above technical problems, the present invention proposes a food additive spiral quantitative feeding device. Summary of the invention

[0015] A spiral blade is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the feeding motor, and the length of the spiral blade is the same as the length of the feeding barrel.

[0016] Preferably, the length of the main rotating rod extending into the tank body is less than the height of the loading cylinder on the tank body, and the output end of the loading cylinder in the tank body is close to the top end of the main rotating rod.

[0017] Preferably, the top end of the main rotating rod is a hemispherical structure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further explained below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a food additive spiral quantitative feeding device, comprising: a tank body 1, wherein the top of the tank body 1 is provided with an injection port 2; and further comprising:

[0036] A feeding mechanism 3, which is installed at the upper end of the tank body 1 and is used to add food additives into the tank body 1;

[0037] The mixing mechanism 4 is used to evenly mix the food base material and food additives put into the tank body 1; the mixing mechanism 4 includes:

[0038] A mixing cylinder 5, wherein the mixing cylinder 5 is installed below the tank body 1;

[0039] A driving motor 6, wherein the driving motor 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing barrel 5;

[0040] A main rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the driving motor 6 , and the main rotating rod 7 extends into the tank body 1 . The main rotating rod 7 is located at the lower end of the tank body 1 and is evenly and circumferentially fixedly connected with a mixing plate 8 .

[0041] As an embodiment of the present invention, the mixing plate 8 is a straight plate that is tilted, and the tilt angle is no greater than 45°.

[0042] As an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of the feeding mechanisms 3 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the side wall of the tank body 1, and the feeding mechanism 3 includes:

[0043] A feeding barrel 9, the feeding barrel 9 passes through the side wall of the tank body 1 and extends into the tank body 1, and one end of the feeding barrel 9 located outside the tank body 1 is fixedly connected to a feeding motor 10;

[0044] A loading port 11, the loading cylinder 9 is located outside the tank body 1 and is provided with a loading port 11;

[0045] The spiral blade 12 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the feeding motor 10 , and the length of the spiral blade 12 is the same as that of the feeding barrel 9 .

[0046] During the relevant food production process, the staff first injects the food base into the tank body 1 through the injection port 2 at the top of the tank body 1, and then starts the driving motor 6 of the mixing mechanism 4, so that the main rotating rod 7 rotates at a uniform speed in the tank body 1 under the action of the motor shaft of the driving motor 6. After the mixing plate 8 fixedly connected to the lower end of the main rotating rod 7 stirs the food base evenly during the rotation of the main rotating rod 7, the staff gradually adds different types of food additives to be used into the tank body 1 through the feeding mechanism 3 at appropriate time periods according to the pre-designed processing procedures, and treats them evenly together with the food base; taking the addition process of any one of the food additives as an example, the staff starts the feeding motor 10, so that the output shaft of the feeding motor 10 drives the spiral blade 12 fixedly connected thereto to rotate together, thereby injecting the food from the feeding port 11 into the feeding barrel. The food additives in 9 are sent into the tank body 1. The feeding barrel 9 is designed to be placed horizontally, and the food additives are sent out by the rotation of the spiral blade 12. After the food additives are added to the target amount, the feeding motor 10 is stopped to stop the spiral blade 12 from rotating, and the feeding of the food additives in the feeding barrel 9 into the tank body 1 can be immediately stopped, so that the staff can accurately add the food additives according to the amount of food additives to be added, avoiding the possibility that the final product does not meet the quality inspection standards and cannot be shipped due to a large error between the added amount of food additives and the setting; and after the food additives are added to the bottom of the tank body 1, the mixing plate 8 set at a low angle makes it possible for the food base and food additives to be continuously scooped up and thrown out by the mixing plate 8 during the rotation of the main rotating rod 7, thereby achieving a technical effect of accelerating the mixing efficiency of the food base and food additives.

[0047] As an embodiment of the present invention, the length of the main rotating rod 7 extending into the tank body 1 is less than the height of the loading barrel 9 on the tank body 1 , and the output end of the loading barrel 9 in the tank body 1 is close to the top of the main rotating rod 7 .

[0048] As an implementation mode of the present invention, the top end of the main rotating rod 7 is a hemispherical structure.

[0049] During operation, the discharge end of the feeding cylinder 9 in the tank body 1 is arranged directly above the main rotating rod 7, so that after the food additives are sent out from the feeding cylinder 9, they will first fall onto the spherical upper surface of the main rotating rod 7. Under the rotation of the main rotating rod 7, the food additives are first dispersed in the tank body 1 under the centrifugal force of the rotating spherical surface before falling into the food base, which has the technical effect of further improving the mixing efficiency of the food base and the food additives.

[0050] As an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of groups of disrupting plates 17 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the main rotating shaft 7 from top to bottom, and each group of disrupting plates 17 is evenly arranged along the circumference of the side wall of the main rotating shaft.

[0051] As an embodiment of the present invention, the disruptor plate 17 is a wave plate with an irregular shape.

[0052] During operation, due to the fast rotation speed of the main rotating rod 7, in the process of food additives being sprinkled toward the tank body 1 under the action of the spherical upper surface of the main rotating rod 7, there will inevitably be a situation where the amount of food additives sprinkled toward the edge of the tank body 1 is greater than the amount sprinkled toward the middle of the tank body 1. For this reason, a plurality of disrupting plates 17 composed of irregular curved surface structures are designed from top to bottom on the side wall of the main rotating rod 7, so that the food additives continuously contact and collide with these disrupting plates 17 during the process of being sprinkled downwards, thereby reducing the tendency of food additives to sprinkle toward the edge of the tank body 1 to a certain extent, making the food additives fall to the bottom of the tank body 1 more evenly, playing a role in reducing the working pressure of the mixing plate 8, thereby improving the working efficiency of the equipment.

[0053] As an embodiment of the present invention, the mixing mechanism 4 further includes:

[0054] A main rotating gear 13, wherein the main rotating gear 13 is fixedly connected to the main rotating rod 7, and the driving gear is an incomplete gear;

[0055] A mixing gear ring 14, wherein the mixing gear ring 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 1;

[0056] The transmission gear 15 is rotatably connected to the mixing barrel 5 , and the transmission gear 15 is in transmission mesh with the driving gear and the mixing gear ring 14 .

[0057] As an embodiment of the present invention, the motor shaft diameter of the driving motor 6 is larger than the shaft diameter of the main rotating rod 7 , and the main rotating gear 13 is installed at the position where the motor shaft of the driving motor 6 is connected to the main rotating rod 7 .

[0058] As an embodiment of the present invention, the mixing barrel 5 is connected to the bottom of the tank body 1 through a connecting bearing 16, and the connecting bearing 16 is a cylindrical roller bearing.

[0059] During operation, in addition to the driving motor 6, a main rotating gear 13 is fixedly connected between the motor shaft of the driving motor 6 and the main rotating rod 7 which does not extend into the tank body 1 in the mixing barrel 5 at the bottom of the tank body 1. As a result, when the main rotating gear 13 rotates with the main rotating rod 7, the transmission gear 15 meshing therewith is driven to rotate, so that the mixing gear ring 14 also rotates together. The mixing gear ring 14 is connected to the tank body 1, so that the tank body 1 rotates in the direction opposite to the main rotating rod 7 of the connecting bearing 16 during the mixing process, thereby accelerating the mixing plate 8 to stir the food base material and food additives in the tank body 1. The tank body 1 and the mixing barrel 5 are connected via a cylindrical roller bearing that can withstand heavy loads as a connecting bearing 16, thereby ensuring the stability of the equipment operation.
