[0026] The stirring blade 20 and the atomizing nozzle 30 are respectively located in the inner cavity 12, and the atomizing nozzle 30 is also located above the blade 22 and is assembled and connected with the closed tank body 10. Optionally, Figure 2 as an example, the atomizing nozzle 30 is assembled and connected with the upper end wall 11 of the closed tank body 10, and the atomizing nozzle 30 is also suspended in the inner cavity 12. This design can better meet the needs of the atomizing nozzle 30 to add the sour agent liquid inputted from the outside in a misting manner to the surface of the mixed materials from above the blade 22, and to more evenly disperse the mixed materials to all places under the stirring of the blade 22. More specifically, as follows:

[0029] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 2 , as an example, the outer contour 22a of the blade 22 comprises a vertical contour 221 away from the rod body 21, an inclined contour 222 connected to the rod body 21, and an arc-shaped contour 223 connected between the inclined contour 222 and the vertical contour 221, the inclined contour 222 is inclined downward away from the rod body 21, which design leaves a space 224 between the inclined contour 222 and the rod body 21 to avoid the temperature measuring probe 40, as shown in Figure 2 .
[0030] Compared with the prior art, since the closed tank body 10 has the inner cavity 12 and the outer cavity 13 separated from each other in the thickness direction of the closed tank body 10, the steam inlet 14 and the condensed water outlet 17 are respectively communicated with the outer cavity 13; so that in the process of mixing the material, the external steam enters the outer cavity 13 through the steam inlet 14, so that the temperature of the mixed material in the inner cavity 12 is controlled by the steam in the outer cavity 13, ensuring that the mixed material in the inner cavity 12 is stirred and mixed at a suitable temperature; at the same time, the externally input acidifier liquid is uniformly added to the mixed material in the form of atomization by means of the atomizing nozzle 30, avoiding the local position of the mixed material from causing protein flocculation due to sudden acidification, thereby ensuring the quality of the beverage.
[0031] Note that, in The center line connecting the temperature measuring probe 40 and the display 50 indicates an electrical connection therebetween.
[0032] The above merely provides the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made in the patent application scope of the present application still fall within the scope of the present application.
