Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mixing, and in particular to a mixing tank for producing enzyme drinks. Background Art

[0002] The mixing tank for enzyme drink production is a key equipment specially used in the enzyme drink production process. It is a container with a certain volume, usually made of corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel. Its structure includes a tank body, a stirring device, a feed port, a discharge port and a controller, and its controller can make the tank body perform circular motion and figure-8 motion. In the production of enzyme drinks, the mixing tank is mainly used to add various raw materials such as enzyme concentrate, fruit juice, sweetener, acidifier, nutritional enhancer, etc. into the tank in a certain proportion, and mix the raw materials thoroughly and evenly through the stirring device to prepare an enzyme drink that meets the quality standards. For example, a Chinese patent with publication number CN118634690B discloses an enzyme production stirring device, and then the prepared drink is transported to the next production process (such as filling) through the discharge port.

[0003] On the one hand, the hardness of the stirring device in the existing mixing tank is always consistent. When faced with the mixing of different types of enzyme drinks, different types of enzyme drinks often have unique raw material compositions and characteristics. The constant hardness of the stirring device will damage the raw materials, destroy sensitive bioactive ingredients and fine extracts, and lead to quality degradation.

[0004] On the other hand, due to the different density, viscosity and particle size of raw materials, the tank body rotates in a circle or in an 8-shaped pattern. Since the hardness of the mixing tank stirring device is constant, it cannot flexibly adapt to the characteristics of the raw materials. It cannot fully disperse the raw materials with high density and many particles to make them sink and precipitate, and it is difficult to mix high-viscosity raw materials with other raw materials well, resulting in an imbalance in the proportion of ingredients, affecting uniformity and stability. In addition, the flow field and force it generates are single, which makes it easy for the raw materials to agglomerate in the early stage of mixing and mixing, and they cannot be fully mixed in the later stage, which eventually causes the product to stratify and precipitate, affecting product quality. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a mixing tank for the production of enzyme drinks, which can effectively solve the problem that the prior art cannot flexibly adapt to the characteristics of the raw materials due to the constant hardness of the stirring device of the mixing tank.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] The mixing and stirring mechanism 3 comprises a hollow shaft 31 which penetrates the upper end surface of the mixing tank 21 and extends to the inside of the mixing tank 21, the hollow shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the upper end surface of the mixing tank 21, the shaft body of the hollow shaft 31 located inside the mixing tank 21 is symmetrically rotatably connected to a pair of stabilizing frames 32, the other end of the stabilizing frame 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank 21, two groups of stirring components 33 and a group of diversion components 34 are arranged in an annular array on the outer peripheral surface of the hollow shaft 31 located between the pair of stabilizing frames 32, and the group of diversion components 34 is located between the two groups of stirring components 33, the lower end of the hollow shaft 31 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 311 which penetrates the stabilizing frame 32, and a plurality of drainage components 35 are arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 311; the upper end surface of the mixing tank 21 is provided with a motor 36 which provides power for the hollow shaft 31;

[0045] The storage mechanism 4 is arranged on the upper end surface of the controller 1. The motor 36 in the mixing and stirring mechanism 3 drives the hollow shaft 31 to realize the mixing and mixing of the raw materials in the mixing tank 21 by the mixing component 33, the diverter component 34 and the drainage component 35, wherein the mixing component 33 uses the medium transmitted by the storage mechanism 4 through the hollow shaft 31 to change the hardness of the mixing component 33 and the mixing rate of the raw materials, and the diverter component 34 is located between the two mixing components 33, which can change the flow direction of the raw materials when they are stirred in the mixing tank 21, and the drainage component 35 can realize the flipping of the raw materials at the bottom of the cone of the mixing tank 21, thereby avoiding the sinking and precipitation of the raw materials at the bottom.

[0046] Reference Figures 5 and 6 The output end of the motor 36 is fixedly connected to the hollow shaft 31 located on the upper end surface of the mixing tank 21, and the motor 36 is electrically connected to the controller 1. The outer peripheral surface of the hollow shaft 31 located below the motor 36 is connected to the connecting ring 37 in an airtight rotation manner;

[0047] The stirring assembly 33 includes two first fixed frames 331 fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the hollow shaft 31 and a ventilation block 334 fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the hollow shaft 31, and the two first fixed frames 331 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the ventilation block 334, and the internal linear array of the first fixed frame 331 is provided with multiple deformation stirring structures 333.

[0048] The hollow shaft 31 can be driven to rotate by the motor 36, and the connecting ring 37 can transfer the medium in the storage mechanism 4 to the hollow shaft 31 without affecting the rotation of the hollow shaft 31. The deformation stirring structure 333 can change its own hardness and rotation speed by the amount of medium injected into the deformation stirring structure 333.

[0049] Reference Figures 7 and 8 The deformation stirring structure 333 includes a hollow rotating rod 3331 rotatably connected to the inner walls on both sides of the length direction of the first fixed frame 331, and one end of the hollow rotating rod 3331 close to the ventilation block 334 passes through the first fixed frame 331 and is connected to the inside of the ventilation block 334, the rod body of the hollow rotating rod 3331 is fixedly connected with a telescopic hollow block 3332, and a connecting block 3335 is fixedly connected to the center position of the telescopic hollow block 3332, and the connecting block 3335 divides the telescopic hollow block 3332 into two air cavities from top to bottom, and a plurality of air holes 3334 are provided in an annular array on the outer peripheral surface of the hollow rotating rod 3331 in the air cavity, and two friction covers 3333 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the telescopic hollow block 3332 with the hollow rotating rod 3331 as the center, and the inner walls on both sides of the first fixed frame 331 are fixedly connected with friction blocks 332 corresponding to the friction covers 3333, and the friction covers 3333 are in contact with the friction blocks 332.

[0050] By utilizing the hollow rotating rod 3331 in the deformation stirring structure 333, the medium transmitted to the ventilation block 334 can be further transmitted to the telescopic hollow block 3332, thereby changing the pressure inside the telescopic hollow block 3332 to achieve the purpose of changing the hardness of the telescopic hollow block 3332. The connecting block 3335 is used to ensure the stability of the hollow rotating rod 3331 when the telescopic hollow block 3332 rotates. As the hardness of the telescopic hollow block 3332 changes, the contact area between the friction cover 3333 in the telescopic hollow block 3332 and the friction block 332 gradually increases, thereby hindering the rotation of the telescopic hollow block 3332 to achieve the reduction of the stirring rate of the deformation stirring structure 333.

[0051] Reference Figures 9 to 11, a plurality of impact structures 335 are arranged in a linear array on both sides of the ventilation block 334, and a vibration structure 336 corresponding in position and number to the impact structure 335 is arranged on the inner wall on both sides of the ventilation block 334;

[0052] The impact structure 335 includes an elliptical cover 3351 fixedly connected to the outside of the ventilation block 334, the inner top of the elliptical cover 3351 is fixedly connected to a connecting rope 3353, the end of the connecting rope 3353 away from the elliptical cover 3351 is fixedly connected to an impact column 3354, and the end of the impact column 3354 facing the elliptical cover 3351 is fixedly connected to a shock-focusing cover 3352.

[0053] The vibration structure 336 includes a fixed ring 3361 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the ventilation block 334, and the fixed ring 3361 is connected to the elliptical cover 3351. The outer circumference of the fixed ring 3361 is fixedly sleeved with a vibration-guiding ring 3363. The vibration-guiding ring 3363 is composed of a vibration-guiding circle and a plurality of vibration-guiding plates, and a ring-shaped array of the plurality of vibration-guiding plates is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the vibration-guiding circle. The inner circumference of the vibration-guiding ring 3363 is fixedly connected to a resonator 3362. One end of the vibration-guiding ring 3363 away from the elliptical cover 3351 is fixedly connected to a porous connecting tube 3364.

[0054] The ventilation block 334 can be used to transfer the medium from the hollow shaft 31 to the deformation stirring structure 333, and can also transfer the medium to the impact structure 335. The impact structure 335 can generate a vibration effect by colliding with the raw material through stirring. Among them, the impact column 3354 and the shock-focusing cover 3352 in the impact structure 335 are subjected to more and more medium, and the impact degree between the impact column 3354 and the resonator 3362 becomes smaller and smaller, thereby making the vibration wave generated by the resonator 3362 smaller and smaller. The vibration-guiding ring 3363 can transfer the vibration wave of the resonator 3362 to the inside of the ventilation block 334, thereby causing the ventilation block 334 to vibrate, so as to improve the stirring and mixing effect of the stirring component 33 on the raw material.

[0055] Reference Figure 6 The flow dividing assembly 34 includes a second fixed frame 341 fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the hollow rotating rod 3331, and the inside of the second fixed frame 341 is fixedly connected with inclined plates 342 with opposite inclined directions in sequence from top to bottom.

[0056] The drainage component 35 is located at the conical bottom of the preparation tank 21. The drainage component 35 includes a fixed plate 351 fixedly connected to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 311, and the angle of the fixed plate 351 corresponds to the conical bottom of the preparation tank 21. Both sides of the fixed plate 351 are fixedly connected with multiple L-shaped drainage plates 352 in a linear array.

[0057] The opposite inclined plates 342 in the diversion component 34 can change the flow direction of the raw materials in the mixing tank 21 during stirring, and the drainage component 35 uses the L-shaped drainage plate 352 to conduct the raw materials collected at the bottom of the cone of the mixing tank 21, so that the raw materials collected at the bottom of the cone of the mixing tank 21 are mixed with other raw materials to avoid the sinking and precipitation of raw materials with high density and high particles.

[0058] Reference Figure 12 to Figure 13 The storage mechanism 4 includes a storage box 41 fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the controller 1, a two-position three-way valve 49 and a metering box 46. A partition plate 42 is fixedly connected to the interior of the storage box 41. The partition plate 42 divides the interior of the storage box 41 into a gas storage area and a liquid storage area. A hydraulic rod 43 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the gas storage area and the liquid storage area. A piston 44 is airtightly slidably connected to the gas storage area and the liquid storage area, and the telescopic end of the hydraulic rod 43 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the piston 44. The hydraulic rod 43 is electrically connected to the controller 1. A capacity detector 45 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the storage area and the liquid storage area. The gas storage area and the liquid storage area are connected to the two input ends of the two-position three-way valve 49 through pipelines respectively, and one output end of the two-position three-way valve 49 is connected to the metering box 46 through a connecting pipe. The metering box 46 is connected to a rotating fan 47 for internal rotation near the two-position three-way valve 49, and a meter 471 for recording the rotation speed and number of revolutions of the rotating fan 47 is fixedly connected to the side corresponding to the metering box 46 and the rotating fan 47. A diverter plate 48 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the metering box 46, and a transmission pipe 461 is fixedly connected to the side of the metering box 46 facing the mixing and stirring mechanism 3, and the transmission pipe 461 is fixedly connected to the connecting ring 37 at one end away from the metering box 46.

[0059] By utilizing the partition plate 42 in the storage mechanism 4, the storage box 41 can store two media, inert gas or inert liquid, respectively, so that the stirring component 33 can select the corresponding medium to be filled when facing different types of enzymes, and calculate the mass of the medium delivered to the stirring component 33 through the rotating fan 47 and the meter 471, so as to realize the control of the mass of the medium delivered to the stirring component 33 at the raw material stage.

[0060] The operating principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0061] Step 1: First, various raw materials such as enzyme stock solution, fruit juice, sweetener, acidulant, nutritional enhancer, etc. are prepared in advance according to the set ratio, and then the prepared raw materials are transported to the mixing tank 21 through the feeder 22. When the raw materials begin to enter the mixing tank 21 through the feeder 22, the operator inputs it into the controller 1 according to the type of enzyme currently used. As the raw materials are injected into the mixing tank 21, the operator will use the controller 1 to make the mixing tank 21 perform circular motion or 8-shaped motion (the controller 1 causes the mixing tank 21 to perform swinging motion or 8-shaped motion is a prior art, and the specific motion mode refers to a stirring device for enzyme production disclosed in the publication number: CN118634690B);

[0062] The controller 1 selects the stirring parameters matching the current enzyme according to the enzyme type input by the operator and the stirring parameters of different enzyme types stored therein, thereby controlling the storage mechanism 4 to start;

[0063] The partition plate 42 in the storage mechanism 4 divides the storage box 41 into a gas storage area and a liquid storage area, thereby storing two different media (the medium stored in the gas storage area is an inert gas such as nitrogen, while the medium stored in the liquid storage area is an inert liquid such as silicone oil, and the reason why liquid medium and gas medium exist will be explained later). When the controller 1 starts to control the storage mechanism 4, the controller 1 will control the hydraulic rod 43 at the top of the corresponding storage area to start according to the current enzyme type, and the hydraulic rod 43 pushes the piston 44 downward according to the instruction. While the piston 44 moves downward, the corresponding input end of the corresponding two-position three-way valve 49 is opened, so that the medium storage area in the current storage area is connected through the connecting pipe. The medium is introduced into the metering box 46. When the medium enters the metering box 46, the medium impacts the rotating fan 47 during the flow process, causing it to rotate. The meter 471 on the side of the metering box 46 can monitor the rotation speed and number of revolutions of the rotating fan 47, thereby obtaining the amount of medium delivered to the stirring assembly 33. For example, when the rotation speed of the rotating fan 47 is fast and the number of revolutions reaches a preset value, the meter 471 determines that a sufficient amount of inert gas or inert liquid has been delivered, and then feeds back the signal to the controller 1. The diverter plate 48 in the metering box 46 can reasonably distribute the medium entering the metering box 46, which ensures that the medium is evenly distributed in the metering box 46, avoids the medium from flowing in a certain area, and allows the medium to flow to the transmission pipe 461 in a stable and balanced state.

[0064] Among them, the reasons why liquid medium and gas medium exist are:

[0065] The differences in the physical properties of gas and liquid media (such as density, compressibility, etc.) cause them to change the hardness of the stirring component 33 and the stirring rate;

[0066] The gas medium has good compressibility. By controlling the amount of gas injected, the hardness of the stirring component 33 can be fine-tuned more accurately to achieve precise adjustment of the stirring rate. This is particularly critical for the preparation of some enzymes that have strict requirements on stirring conditions. It can minimize the impact on the enzyme activity while ensuring the mixing effect. For example, when preparing some enzyme drinks that require low temperature and low speed stirring, the gas medium can make the stirring component 33 stir at an appropriate rate at a lower hardness to avoid the deterioration or loss of activity of the raw materials caused by excessive stirring;

[0067] The liquid medium provides a larger hardness adjustment range and can meet the diverse needs of different raw materials for stirring intensity. When strong stirring is required, injecting an appropriate amount of liquid can quickly increase the hardness of the stirring component 33 and enhance the stirring effect. At the same time, the flow characteristics of the liquid medium in the stirring component 33 also help to optimize the power transmission during the stirring process, making the stirring more stable and efficient, ensuring that the raw materials are fully mixed in a short time, and improving production efficiency.

[0068] Step 2: The medium in the metering box 46 is connected by the transmission pipe 461 and the connecting ring 37, so that the medium enters the hollow shaft 31 (the hollow shaft 31 has a transmission channel function and a power transmission function), and the hollow shaft 31 will further transmit the medium to each stirring component 33. When the medium is transmitted to the stirring component 33, the medium will first enter the ventilation block 334, and then enter the air cavity of the telescopic hollow block 3332 through the air hole 3334 on the hollow rotating rod 3331. When the storage mechanism 4 is started, the controller 1 will also synchronously start the motor 36, thereby driving the hollow shaft 31 to rotate. When the hollow shaft 31 rotates, the stirring component 33, the diversion component 34 and the drainage component 35 will rotate synchronously around the axis of the hollow shaft 31.

[0069] For example, when the medium entering the stirring assembly 33 is an inert gas:

[0070] When the inert gas enters the telescopic hollow block 3332 (the telescopic hollow block 3332 is made of a material with a certain elasticity), the air pressure in the telescopic hollow block 3332 will gradually increase, thereby changing the air pressure in the cavity, and then changing the overall hardness of the telescopic hollow block 3332. As the hardness changes, the contact state between the friction cover 3333 on both sides of the telescopic hollow block 3332 and the friction block 332 on the inner wall of the first fixed frame 331 also changes, such as: the hardness of the telescopic hollow block 3332 increases, the contact area between the friction cover 3333 and the friction block 332 increases, and the friction force increases, resulting in greater obstruction to the rotation of the telescopic hollow block 3332. The stirring rate is reduced accordingly; on the contrary, if the hardness is reduced, the contact area between the friction cover 3333 and the friction block 332 is reduced, the friction force is reduced, and the stirring rate is increased, thereby realizing accurate adjustment of the hardness and stirring rate of the stirring component 33 according to the type of enzyme. For example, for enzymes containing relatively fragile ingredients such as active probiotics, the controller 1 will control the injection of an appropriate amount of inert gas to reduce the hardness of the stirring component 33 and the stirring rate to be moderate to avoid damage to the activity of the probiotics; and for enzymes containing more fiber or thick raw materials that require strong stirring, the controller 1 will command the injection of inert liquid to increase the hardness of the stirring component 33, improve the stirring efficiency, and ensure that the raw materials are fully mixed and evenly mixed.

[0071] Among them, the stirring component 33 rotates because: the rotation process of the stirring component 33 starts with the motor 36 driving the hollow shaft 31 to rotate, so that during the rotation, the telescopic hollow block 3332 of the deformable stirring structure 333 collides with the raw material, thereby causing the stirring component 33 to rotate.

[0072] When the medium entering the stirring assembly 33 is an inert liquid:

[0073] When the inert liquid is injected into the stirring component 33, the circulation work in the stirring component 33 refers to the above process when the medium entering the stirring component 33 is an inert gas, and the inert liquid injected into the stirring component 33 can increase the overall mass and inertia of the telescopic hollow block 3332, which makes the stirring component 33 more stable during the rotation process and can better resist the resistance and interference caused by the raw materials. For example, when stirring raw materials containing more fiber, larger particles or thick texture, the additional mass and inertia provided by the liquid medium enable the stirring component 33 to maintain a stable rotation state, effectively shearing, pushing and flipping the raw materials. Ensure that the raw materials are fully and evenly stirred. In addition, due to the incompressibility of the inert liquid, the hardness of the stirring component 33 is greatly improved. Compared with when gas is injected, the stirring component 33 after the liquid is injected can withstand greater stress and is not easy to deform during the stirring process, thereby more effectively breaking the agglomeration state of the raw materials and improving the stirring efficiency. For example, for some raw material combinations that are difficult to mix, such as raw materials containing a large amount of pulp fiber and viscous additives, the stirring component 33 after the inert liquid is injected can rely on its high hardness and strong stirring ability to thoroughly break up and mix the raw materials evenly, thereby ensuring the taste and quality consistency of the enzyme drink.

[0074] The above is an example for explanation, and the inert liquid medium or the inert gas medium is injected into the stirring component 33, and the specific method depends on the type of enzyme.

[0075] Step 3: When the stirring component 33 rotates, the deformation stirring structure 333 stirs the raw materials, and at the same time, the ventilation block 334 transfers part of the medium to the impact structure 335. The impact column 3354 and the shock-collecting cover 3352 in the impact structure 335 are affected by the medium and collide with the resonator 3362 to generate vibration. The vibration wave is transmitted to the inside of the ventilation block 334 through the vibration-guiding ring 3363, causing the ventilation block 334 to vibrate, thereby improving the stirring and mixing effect. The inclined plate 342 with the opposite inclination direction in the second fixed frame 341 of the diversion component 34 changes the flow direction of the raw materials during stirring, making the flow of the raw materials between the stirring components 33 more complicated, increasing the flow rate of the raw materials near the stirring components 33, and promoting uniform mixing. The drainage component 35 is located at the conical bottom of the preparation tank 21. The fixed plate 351 and multiple L-shaped drainage plates 352 drain the raw materials gathered at the bottom of the cone to mix them with other raw materials to avoid the sinking and precipitation of raw materials with high density and many particles.

[0076] Thus, the enzyme beverage is mixed and stirred, and discharged from the bottom of the mixing tank 21.
