Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of mixing, and in particular relates to a red yeast rice raw material mixing device. Background Art

[0002] Red yeast rice is mixed with other raw materials in a certain proportion and method. Red yeast rice is a traditional fermented product, mainly made by Monascus purpurogenum growing and fermenting on rice or other grains, and is often used for food coloring and flavoring. When mixing red yeast rice raw materials, factors that need to be considered include the type of raw materials, proportion, mixing order, mixing uniformity, and storage conditions after mixing.

[0003] In the process of mixing red yeast rice raw materials, mixing uniformity is a key issue. Due to the density difference between different materials, the material with high density tends to settle on the lower side, while the material with low density floats on the upper side, resulting in uneven mixing. In addition, when liquid substances are involved, the materials may stick together, which further increases the difficulty of mixing. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a red yeast rice raw material mixing device, which has the advantages of realizing efficient and uniform mixing of the red yeast rice raw materials, while solving the problem of the materials sticking together and clumping, thus solving the problems of the prior art.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the extrusion member includes: a rotating rod and an extrusion roller, the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the connecting rod through a bearing; the edge of the extrusion roller can fit the inner surface of the inner wall of the mixing chamber, a plurality of extrusion rollers are provided, and the extrusion rollers are equidistantly arranged on the connecting rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The red yeast rice raw material mixing device utilizes the principle of red yeast rice fermentation to drive the first rotating shaft and the first spiral blade thereon to rotate by rotating the driving member. When the first spiral blade rotates, it will push the material in the middle of the mixing chamber upward, causing it to fall from the gap between the edge of the first spiral blade and the side wall of the mixing chamber, forming a circular flow with the middle part rising and the surrounding parts falling. This circular flow helps materials of different densities to be evenly mixed in the mixing chamber. At the same time, the first rotating shaft also drives the extrusion member to rotate through the connecting rod. During the rotation process, the extrusion member can cooperate with the side wall of the mixing chamber to crush or roll the material, thereby effectively crushing the sticky and clumped material.

[0015] The mixing device achieves efficient and uniform mixing of red yeast rice raw materials, while solving the problem of material sticking together. Through the cyclical movement of the spiral blades and the crushing action of the extruder, materials of different densities are fully mixed, and sticky materials are effectively crushed, thereby improving the processing quality and efficiency of red yeast rice raw materials. In addition, the device has a simple structure and is easy to operate. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to further understand the content, features and effects of the present invention, the following embodiments are given as examples and described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] The structure of the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 9A red yeast rice raw material mixing device provided by an embodiment of the present invention comprises a mixing chamber 1, a rotating driving member 2 is provided on the upper side of the mixing chamber 1, a first rotating shaft 3 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotating driving member 2, the first rotating shaft 3 extends into the mixing chamber 1, a first spiral blade 4 is arranged around the first rotating shaft 3, and a gap is provided between the edge of the first spiral blade 4 and the side wall of the mixing chamber 1; an inner gear ring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the side wall of the mixing chamber 1, a connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 3, an extrusion member is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting rod 6, the extrusion member is attached to the inner surface of the side wall of the mixing chamber 1, a first gear 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the extrusion member, and the first gear 7 is meshed with the inner gear ring 5.

[0029] When in use, the material is put into the mixing chamber 1, and the rotating driving member 2 can drive the first spiral blade 4 to rotate through the first rotating shaft 3, so that the material in the middle of the mixing chamber 1 can be pushed upward, and fall from the gap between the edge of the first spiral blade 4 and the side wall of the mixing chamber 1, forming a cycle of rising in the middle and falling around, so that materials of different densities can be evenly mixed. At the same time, the first rotating shaft 3 can drive the connecting rod 6 to rotate, and then the first gear 7 can produce revolution and rotation, that is, drive the extrusion member to rotate. If the extrusion member rotates faster in the gap, the material can be crushed. If the extrusion member rotates slower, the extrusion member and the inner wall of the mixing chamber 1 can roll and crush the material, so that the sticky material can be crushed.

[0030] Exemplarily, the connecting rod 6 is located on the upper side of the first spiral blade 4 , and during mixing, the material is lower than the first gear 7 and the inner gear ring 5 , so that the material will not hinder the meshing of the first gear 7 and the inner gear ring 5 .

[0031] A silo 8 is provided on the upper side of the mixing chamber 1, and the silo 8 is connected to the mixing chamber 1 through a feed channel 9; a supporting plate 10 is provided on the upper side of the silo 8, and the rotating drive member 2 is fixedly connected to the supporting plate 10; a second spiral blade 11 is also fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 3, and the second spiral blade 11 is located in the feed channel 9, and the upper side of the second spiral blade 11 extends into the silo 8.

[0032] In a specific implementation, the second spiral blade 11 and the first spiral blade 4 have the same rotation direction. This arrangement has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] First, when the first spiral blade 4 pushes the material upward, the second spiral blade 11 also pushes the material upward, so that the material in the silo 8 can be pre-mixed to improve the mixing effect, and the raw materials in the silo 8 will not fall into the mixing chamber 1;

[0034] Second, when the material in the silo 8 needs to fall into the mixing chamber 1, the first rotating shaft 3 can be reversed, so that the second spiral blade 11 can transport the material in the silo 8 to the mixing chamber 1. In addition, quantitative feeding can be achieved by controlling the number of rotations of the second spiral blade 11, and blocking of materials can be prevented.

[0035] Furthermore, the extrusion member may be provided as an integral cylindrical roller, or may be provided as a segmented roller, for example:

[0036] The extrusion member includes: a rotating rod 12 and an extrusion roller 13; the rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 6 through a bearing; the edge of the extrusion roller 13 can fit the inner surface of the inner wall of the mixing chamber 1, and a plurality of extrusion rollers 13 are provided, and the extrusion rollers 13 are equidistantly arranged on the connecting rod 6.

[0037] In a specific implementation, the squeezing roller 13 can be fixedly connected to the rotating rod 12, and the height of the squeezing roller 13 can be set according to needs. The larger the height of the squeezing roller 13 is, the better the crushing effect of the agglomerated materials is.

[0038] The rotating rod 12 is provided with an external thread 14 , and the squeezing roller 13 is provided with an internal thread inside. The squeezing roller 13 is connected to the rotating rod 12 through the cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread 14 .

[0039] In a specific implementation, nuts can be provided on both the upper and lower sides of the squeezing roller 13 to fix the squeezing roller 13. This arrangement has the following functions:

[0040] First, the height and gap of the squeezing rollers 13 can be adjusted by rotating them. For example, when less raw materials need to be mixed each time, several squeezing rollers 13 can be lowered to more efficiently mix and extrude the raw materials.

[0041] Second, since the extrusion roller 13 is connected to the rotating rod 12 by the cooperation of the internal thread and the external thread 14, the extrusion roller 13 can be easily disassembled. At this time, the raw materials can be stirred only by the rotating rod 12. Although the crushing effect cannot be achieved, the mass of the extrusion piece is reduced at this time, and the resistance of the raw material to the extrusion piece is also reduced (due to the reduction in volume). Therefore, the agglomerated material can be broken up by rapid rotation.

[0042] The connecting rod 6 is detachable, and an inspection door 15 is provided on the upper wall of the mixing chamber 1 ; a through hole 16 is provided in the middle of the squeezing roller 13 , and an insertion rod 17 is inserted into the through hole 16 .

[0043] This setting provides the following functions:

[0044] First, the plurality of squeezing rollers 13 can be pre-connected as one through the insertion rod 17, so that the plurality of squeezing rollers 13 can be assembled and disassembled synchronously;

[0045] Second, the insertion rod 17 can rotate with the squeezing roller 13 to drive the mixing effect.

[0046] The red yeast rice raw material mixing device also includes a base 21, a frame 22 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the base 21, a second motor 23 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame 22, an output shaft of the second motor 23 is fixedly connected to a second rotating shaft 24, a fixing ring 25 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 24, and the mixing chamber 1 is fixedly mounted on the fixing ring 25.

[0047] This setting allows the following usage:

[0048] First, by rotating the second rotating shaft 24, the mixing chamber 1 can be turned over, and when the silo 8 is facing upward, the material can be fed, and when the silo 8 is facing downward, the material can be discharged through the silo 8. At this time, the second spiral blade 11 can push the material into the silo 8.

[0049] Second, the silo 8 can be shaken while the first spiral blade 4 rotates, thereby improving the mixing efficiency;

[0050] Third, the mixing chamber 1 can be placed in a horizontal state, and the first spiral blade 4 can be rotated back and forth alternately to mix the materials. At this time, the materials are all on the side wall of the mixing chamber 1, and the mixed materials can be moved by the extrusion piece, which also makes it easier for the extrusion piece and the side wall of the mixing chamber 1 to cooperate to extrude the materials.

[0051] Working principle of the present invention:

[0052] The red yeast rice raw material mixing device utilizes the principle of red yeast rice fermentation, and drives the first rotating shaft 3 and the first spiral blade 4 thereon to rotate by rotating the driving member 2. When the first spiral blade 4 rotates, it will push the material in the middle of the mixing chamber 1 upward, so that it falls from the gap between the edge of the first spiral blade 4 and the side wall of the mixing chamber 1, forming a circular flow with the material rising in the middle and falling around. This circular flow helps materials of different densities to be evenly mixed in the mixing chamber 1. At the same time, the first rotating shaft 3 also drives the extrusion member to rotate through the connecting rod 6. During the rotation of the extrusion member, the side wall of the mixing chamber 1 can be used to crush or roll the material, thereby effectively crushing the sticky and clumped material.
