DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] In order to more clearly illustrate the structural features and effects of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 5In one embodiment of the present invention, a colloid mixer and a mixing method for preparing sauces are provided. The colloid mixer for preparing sauces has a first direction x and a second direction y relative to each other. The colloid mixer for preparing sauces comprises a kettle assembly 1. The kettle assembly 1 comprises a mixing kettle 101, a main shaft body 102, a discharge port 103 and a sieve plate 104. The main shaft body 102 is arranged in the mixing kettle 101 and is coaxially arranged with the mixing kettle 101. The discharge port 103 is arranged at the bottom of the mixing kettle 101. The discharge port 103 is also provided with a sieve plate 104; a pump plate assembly 2, the pump plate assembly 2 includes a first pump plate 201, a second pump plate 202, a guide hole 203 and an injection port 204, the first pump plate 201 and the second pump plate 202 are both slidably assembled on the main shaft body 102 along the second direction y, the first pump plate 201 and the second pump plate 202 are also provided with a plurality of guide holes 203, and the injection port 204 is fixedly assembled in the guide hole 203; a transmission assembly 3, the transmission The moving assembly 3 includes a collar 301, a support rod 302, a sliding member 303, a transmission arm 304 and a stopper 305. The collar 301 is fixedly arranged in the mixing kettle 101, and one end of the collar 301 is rotatably connected to the main shaft body 102. The other end of the collar 301 is fixedly arranged with a support rod 302. The sliding member 303 is slidably arranged on the support rod 302. Two sets of transmission arms 304 are also rotatably mounted on the sliding member 303. The two sets of transmission arms 304 are respectively connected to the first pump pressure plate 201 and the second pump pressure plate 2 02 are movably connected, the limiter 305 is fixedly arranged at one end of the support rod 302, and is used to limit the movement trajectory of the sliding member 303; the return pipe assembly 4, the return pipe assembly 4 includes a return pipe 401, the return pipe 401 is arranged along the second direction y, and one end of the return pipe 401 is connected to the top of the mixing kettle 101, and the other end of the return pipe 401 is connected to the discharge port 103; the injection port 204 is provided with a one-way diaphragm for limiting the direction of fluid movement, and a wire mesh is provided on one side of the movable one-way diaphragm.

[0026] In actual application of this embodiment, when the colloid mixer is used to prepare sauce, the mixing kettle 101 is used to hold the sauce slurry to be processed, the mixing kettle 101 is sealed by default, and each movable interface is sealed with a packing sealing structure and a movable sealing ring, the main shaft body 102 is rotatably arranged in the mixing kettle 101, the discharge port 103 is arranged at the bottom of the cavity of the mixing kettle 101, and a movable valve port is arranged at the bottom of the discharge port 103 for discharging the sauce after mixing, and the sieve plate 104 in the discharge port 103 is used to separate the colloid in the sauce. The colloid clumps are filtered to prevent the colloid clumps from settling on one side of the valve port of the discharge port 103 to avoid the colloid blocking the valve port. The main shaft body 102 is slidably equipped with a first pump pressure plate 201 and a second pump pressure plate 202. The first pump pressure plate 201 and the second pump pressure plate 202 are both slidably arranged on the main shaft body 102 along the second direction y, and the movement directions of the first pump pressure plate 201 and the second pump pressure plate 202 in the second direction y are opposite. The first pump pressure plate 201 and the second pump pressure plate 202 are also provided with a plurality of guide holes 203, and the guide holes 203 are fixed. The spray port 204 is equipped with a spray port 204 for limiting the direction of fluid movement. The elastic membrane arranged in the spray port 204 can make the sauce and the colloid flow in one direction in the spray port 204, and a fixed screen is also arranged on one side of the elastic membrane of the spray port 204. When the sauce and the colloid pass through the spray port 204 under pressure, the elastic membrane is in an open state. Since the apertures of the spray ports 204 are relatively small, under the Bernoulli principle, the movement speed of the colloid when passing through the screen increases, so that when the colloid is sprayed out on one side of the screen, the colloid is divided into several small clumps by the screen. , and the jet formed after injection fully mixes the sauce with the split colloid mass. When the colloid mass passes through the first pump pressure plate 201 and the second pump pressure plate 202 and moves toward one end of the discharge port 103, under the action of pressure, the sauce and the colloid are guided to the reflux pipe 401 and reflux to the side of the cavity top of the mixing kettle 101 through the reflux pipe 401, so that the sauce and the colloid circulate in one direction in the mixing kettle 101. While improving the mixing uniformity of the sauce, the colloid is broken during the injection process by using the pressure of the pump, thereby increasing the disintegration rate of the colloid and improving its mixing speed with the sauce.

[0027] Mixing method of this mixer:

[0028] S1: After the sauce to be processed is poured into the mixing kettle 101, the first pump plate 201 is driven by the driving member to reciprocate in the second direction y, so that the second pump plate 202 linked to the first pump plate 201 moves in the opposite direction synchronously;

[0029] S2: The first pump plate 201 and the second pump plate 202 exert a unidirectional pumping pressure on the sauce during movement, so that the sauce forms a continuously circulating pump flow pipeline between the inner cavity of the mixing kettle 101 and the return line of the return pipe 401;

[0030] S3: When the sauce flows through the first pump plate 201 and the injection port 204 on the second pump plate 202 during the pump flow process, the colloid in the sauce can be broken by pressure to form a jet, so that the colloid is continuously disintegrated in the pipeline of the circulating pump flow;

[0031] S4: During the process of pump pressure spraying, the sauce increases the disintegration speed of the colloid and increases its own mixing rate.

[0032] In one case of the present embodiment, the mesh aperture of the injection port 204 on one side of the first pump plate 201 is larger than the mesh aperture of the injection port 204 on one side of the second pump plate 202, so that after the colloid passes through the first pump plate 201 for initial crushing, it can undergo secondary crushing when passing through the second pump plate 202, so that the colloid can be fully crushed.

[0033] In one case of the present embodiment, a gap is set between the first pumping plate 201 and the second pumping plate 202 and the inner cavity wall of the mixing kettle 101. During the process of pumping the sauce, the influence of the sauce flowing through the gap on the pumping process is negligible.

[0034] See also Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the main shaft body 102 is rotatably assembled in the mixing kettle 101, and the kettle body assembly 1 also includes blades 105 and a stirrer 106, and the blades 105 and the stirrer 106 are both arranged on one side of the cavity bottom of the mixing kettle 101 and fixedly connected to the main shaft body 102.

[0035] In actual application of this embodiment, the main shaft body 102 is rotatably installed in the mixing kettle 101, and the blades 105 and the agitator 106 are fixedly installed on the main shaft body 102. When the sauce in the mixing kettle 101 flows along the negative direction of the second direction y, since the fluid is in a circulating pump pressure state, the blades 105 can drive the main shaft body 102 to rotate along the fixed axis under the driving effect of the fluid, so that the agitator 106 on the main shaft body 102 can circumferentially stir the mixture of sauce and colloid fragments at the bottom of the cavity, further increasing the mixing speed of the sauce and the colloid.

[0036] See also Figure 4In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the mixing kettle 101 has a first mixing cavity a1, a second mixing cavity a2 and a third mixing cavity a3 relative to each other, the first pump pressure plate 201 is arranged between the first mixing cavity a1 and the second mixing cavity a2, and the second pump pressure plate 202 is arranged between the second mixing cavity a2 and the third mixing cavity a3.

[0037] In actual application of this embodiment, the first mixing cavity a1 is used to output the sauce refluxed in the reflux pipe 401 to the second mixing cavity a2 through the first pump pressure plate 201, so that the colloid gathered again in the refluxed sauce can be broken again, so that the sauce is broken into a particle size that meets the product requirements during the circulation process. When the first pump pressure plate 201 and the second pump pressure plate 202 move in the second direction y, the first pump pressure plate 201 moves in the positive direction of the second direction y, and at the same time, the second pump pressure plate 202 moves in the negative direction of the second direction y. Since the distance between the first pump pressure plate 201 and the top of the mixing kettle 101 is shortened, the pressure in the first mixing cavity a1 is continuously increased, so that the first mixing cavity a1 is in a positive pressure state. The distance between the second pump pressure plate 202 and the bottom of the mixing kettle 101 is shortened, so the pressure in the third mixing cavity a3 is synchronously increased, so that the third mixing cavity a3 is in a positive pressure state. And because the first mixing cavity a1 and the third mixing cavity a3 are connected by the reflux pipe 401, when the fluid in the third mixing cavity a3 is pumped to the first mixing cavity a1 along the reflux pipe 401, the fluid in the first mixing cavity a1 can flow through the injection port 204 on one side of the first pumping plate 201 to the second mixing cavity a2. Since the distance between the first pumping plate 201 and the second pumping plate 202 increases, the second mixing cavity a2 is in a negative pressure state, and the apertures of several of the injection ports 204 are small, which further increases the flow rate of the sauce when it flows on one side of the first pumping plate 201, thereby increasing the efficiency of colloid crushing. When the first pumping plate 201 moves in the negative direction of the second direction y and the second pumping plate 202 moves in the positive direction of the second direction y, similarly to the above, the second mixing cavity a2 is in a positive pressure state, so that the sauce passes through the second pumping plate 202 and flows into the third mixing cavity a3 at an accelerated speed.

[0038] See also Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the injection port 204 on the first pump pressure plate 201 is used to limit the unidirectional flow of the fluid from the first mixing cavity a1 to the second mixing cavity a2, and the injection port 204 on the second pump pressure plate 202 is used to limit the unidirectional flow of the fluid from the second mixing cavity a2 to the third mixing cavity a3.

[0039] In actual application of this embodiment, when the first mixing cavity a1 and the third mixing cavity a3 are in a positive pressure state, the second mixing cavity a2 is in a negative pressure state, the elastic diaphragm on the injection port 204 on one side of the first pump pressure plate 201 is in an open state, and the elastic diaphragm on the injection port 204 on one side of the second pump pressure plate 202 is in a closed state, so that the sauce can pass through the first pump pressure plate 201 and accelerate from the first mixing cavity a1 to the second mixing cavity a2; when the first mixing cavity a1 and the third mixing cavity a3 are in a negative pressure state, the second mixing cavity a2 is in a positive pressure state, the elastic diaphragm on the injection port 204 on one side of the second pump pressure plate 202 is in an open state, and the elastic diaphragm on the injection port 204 on one side of the first pump pressure plate 201 is in a closed state, so that the sauce can pass through the second pump pressure plate 202 and accelerate from the second mixing cavity a2 to the third mixing cavity a3.

[0040] See also Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the return pipe assembly 4 also includes a check valve 402, which is arranged on the return pipe 401 and close to one end of the discharge port 103, and is used to limit the unidirectional flow of the fluid in the return pipe 401.

[0041] In actual application of this embodiment, when the first mixing cavity a1 and the third mixing cavity a3 are in a negative pressure state, the second mixing cavity a2 is in a positive pressure state, and the check valve 402 on the return pipe 401 can limit the reverse flow of the fluid in the return pipe 401, thereby limiting the unidirectional circulation flow of the sauce fluid in the mixing kettle 101.

[0042] See also Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the colloid mixer for preparing sauces also includes a driving component 5, which includes a 501 chassis, a driver 502, a first driving arm 503, a second driving arm 504 and a driving rod 505. The 501 chassis is fixedly arranged on the mixing kettle 101, one end of the driver 502 is assembled on the 501 chassis, and the other end of the driver 502 is transmission-connected with the first driving arm 503, one end of the first driving arm 503 is fixedly assembled on the 501 chassis, and the other end of the first driving arm 503 is rotatably assembled with the second driving arm 504, one end of the driving rod 505 is rotationally connected with the second driving arm 504, and the other end of the driving rod 505 passes through the mixing kettle 101 and is fixedly connected with the first pump pressure plate 201.

[0043] In actual application of this embodiment, when the driver 502 rotates in the driving state, the first driving arm 503 at one end of the 501 chassis rotates synchronously with the driver 502 under the transmission action, and the end of the first driving arm 503 is rotatably connected to the second driving arm 504. Therefore, during the fixed-axis rotation of the first driving arm 503, a crank rocker mechanism is formed with the second driving arm 504 and the driving rod 505, thereby pulling the driving rod 505 to reciprocate in the second direction y, so that the driving rod 505 pulls the first pump plate 201 to reciprocate in the second direction y. When the first pump plate 20 When sliding on the main shaft body 102, since the collar 301 is slidably sleeved on the main shaft body 102, and the support rod 302 at one end of the collar 301 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall side of the mixing kettle 101, when the first pump platen 201 reciprocates along the second direction y under the drive of the driving rod 505, the sliding member 303 linked with the first pump platen 201 through the transmission arm 304 can synchronously reciprocate along the first direction x, and drive the second pump platen 202 to reciprocate in the second direction y through another set of transmission arms 304, thereby realizing the reverse synchronous movement of the first pump platen 201 and the second pump platen 202.

[0044] The above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention provides a colloid mixer and mixing method for preparing sauces. By arranging a first pump plate 201 and a second pump plate 202 that move in opposite directions in a mixing kettle 101, the sauce can be made to form a pump-pressure jet flow in a driving state, thereby increasing the mixing speed of the sauce and accelerating the crushing and disintegration of the colloid in the sauce, so that the sauce can be evenly mixed.
