At such a temperature, after the freeze-dried vegetable powder is added, the freeze-dried vegetable powder is easy to clump in the liquid. In addition, the freeze-dried vegetable powder is very easy to absorb moisture and clump, resulting in the agglomerated vegetable powder floating on the liquid surface during the whipping process. It takes a long time to whip the agglomerated vegetable powder completely, and the efficiency is low. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0027] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-5 , 7-8, a freeze-dried infant fruit and vegetable milk mixing and emulsifying device, comprising an emulsifying tank 1, a tank cover of the emulsifying tank 1 is penetrated with a mounting hole, an outer cylinder 2 is fixed on the lower surface of the tank cover, the outer cylinder 2 is coaxially arranged with the mounting hole, a piston disk 3 is installed in the outer cylinder 2, a hydraulic rod 14 is fixed on the upper surface of the tank cover, the hydraulic rod 14 is fixedly connected to the piston disk 3, a drive shaft 4 is coaxially mounted on the piston disk 3, a motor 5 is fixed on the upper surface of the piston disk 3, the motor 5 is transmission-connected to the drive shaft 4; an inner cylinder 6 is coaxially nested at the bottom end of the outer cylinder 2, the inner cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 2, the drive shaft 4 extends into the inner cylinder 6, a spiral shaft 7 is coaxially fixed on the drive shaft 4 in the inner cylinder 6, and a plurality of beaters 8 are fixed on the drive shaft 4 between the inner cylinder 6 and the piston disk 3.

[0028] The piston disc 3 is also provided with an exhaust hole 12, and an electric exhaust valve 13 is installed on the exhaust hole 12. The exhaust hole 12 is provided because when the liquid in the tank rises and the piston disc 3 does not move, in order to allow the outer tube 2 to extend into the liquid to a certain depth, the electric exhaust valve 13 needs to be opened to connect the spaces above and below the piston disc 3, so that when the liquid rises, the liquid can enter the outer tube 2 and squeeze out the gas inside the outer tube 2 through the exhaust hole 12.

[0029] The outer cylinder 2 includes a first cylinder 21 and a second cylinder 22. The diameter of the first cylinder 21 is larger than that of the second cylinder 22. The first cylinder 21 and the second cylinder 22 are coaxially connected, and the first cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the tank cover. By using two cylinders of different sizes to form the outer cylinder 2, the floating objects carried by the liquid can be spread away from the surroundings of the inner cylinder 6 after passing through the first cylinder 21 and entering the second cylinder 22, so as to avoid being immediately sucked away by the liquid flowing downward in the inner cylinder 6, so that the beater 8 can have sufficient time to beat these floating objects.

[0030] The outer tube 2 and the inner tube 6 are both made of stainless steel, and the inner tube 6 extends out of the outer tube 2 .

[0031] The beater 8 includes a beating shaft and a spiral blade, one end of the beating shaft is rotatably connected to the driving shaft 4, and a spiral blade is fixed on the surface of the beating shaft. The beater 8 is provided with a rotatable beating shaft, so that when the driving shaft 4 drives multiple beaters 8 to stir in the horizontal direction, the beating shafts on the beaters 8 rotate synchronously, so that the liquid can roll up and down, thereby better breaking up the floating objects.

[0032] Example 2: Reference Figure 6 As another preferred embodiment of the present invention, the difference from the embodiment 1 is that a feeding port 10 is also formed on the piston disc 3, and a feeding module is installed on the feeding port 10. The feeding module includes a feeding pipe 9 and a distributor 11. The feeding pipe 9 is fixed on the upper surface of the piston disc 3, and the distributor 11 is fixed on the lower surface of the piston disc 3. The feeding pipe 9 is used to connect the freeze-dried vegetable powder supply device so that the freeze-dried vegetable powder can flow into the feeding port 10 through the feeding pipe 9.

[0033] The distributor 11 includes a horizontal cylinder 111, both ends of which are sealed, and a feed port 114 and a discharge port 115 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the horizontal cylinder 111. The feed port 114 of the horizontal cylinder 111 is connected to the feeding port 10. A rotating shaft 112 is coaxially mounted in the horizontal cylinder 111, and a plurality of partition plates 113 are fixed on the surface of the rotating shaft 112 along the circumferential direction. The partition plates 113 are used to divide the interior of the horizontal cylinder 111 into a plurality of mutually isolated chambers, and the number of the partition plates 113 is not less than three. The rotating shaft 112 is connected to a micro motor for transmission. When the feeding module is in use, the freeze-dried vegetable powder is loaded into the feeding tube 9. Under the action of gravity, the powder will flow into the distributor 11 through the feeding port 10. At this time, the micro-motor drives the rotating shaft 112 to drive multiple partitions 113 to make circular motions. Whenever a chamber is aligned with the feed port 114, the falling vegetable powder will enter the chamber. Whenever a chamber is aligned with the discharge port 115, the vegetable powder will fall into the outer cylinder 2 from the discharge port 115. In this way, during the feeding process, the discharge port 115 and the feed port 114 are isolated, so that the feeding port 10 will never be connected to the outer cylinder 2, so that the liquid level in the outer cylinder 2 will not drop. At the same time, the distributor 11 can achieve a uniform feeding speed, realize continuous feeding in small batches, and avoid agglomeration caused by excessive single feeding.

[0034] The overall workflow of the present invention is as follows:

[0035] Each component raw material is put into the emulsification tank 1, and the outer cylinder 2 can be immersed in the emulsification tank 1, but a space is left between the liquid level in the outer cylinder 2 and the piston plate 3 to prevent the subsequent liquid level from rising to submerge the distributor 11. Figure 7 As shown, the liquid level 15 in the emulsification tank and the liquid level 16 in the outer cylinder are at the same height; then the emulsification tank 1 is started for emulsification and stirring. After completion, when freeze-dried vegetable powder needs to be added, the stirring of the emulsification tank 1 is stopped, and then the hydraulic rod 14 is started. The hydraulic rod 14 drives the piston plate 3 to move upward. During the upward movement of the piston plate 3, the liquid at the liquid level in the emulsification tank 1 is drawn upward, so that the liquid level in the outer cylinder 2 rises. At this time, as shown in the attached Figure 8As shown, the height of the liquid level 16 in the outer cylinder is higher than the liquid level 15 in the emulsifying tank; then the motor 5 is started, and the motor 5 drives the driving shaft 4 to rotate. During the rotation of the driving shaft 4, the spiral shaft 7 in the inner cylinder 6 is driven to rotate, and the spiral shaft 7 pushes the liquid in the inner cylinder 6 to the bottom of the emulsifying tank 1, and the liquid near the liquid level of the emulsifying tank 1 is sucked into the outer cylinder 2 from the gap between the inner cylinder 6 and the outer cylinder 2. At the same time, the feeding module is started, and the feeding module feeds the freeze-dried vegetable powder to the liquid level 16 in the outer cylinder. At this time, the driving shaft 4 also drives a plurality of beaters 8 to mix the fed vegetable powder with the liquid The vegetable powder uniformly mixed with the liquid in the stirring and mixing process will follow the liquid flowing downward in the inner cylinder 6 to flow to the bottom of the emulsification tank 1. Since the liquid level in the outer cylinder 2 is higher than the liquid level in the emulsification tank 1, the agglomerated vegetable powder floats on the liquid surface of the outer cylinder 2 and will not flow to the emulsification tank 1. It will continue to be beaten by the beater 8 until it is dispersed. This can avoid the problem of poor mixing efficiency due to agglomeration of vegetable powder. At the same time, if a small amount of agglomerated vegetable powder flows from the inner cylinder 6 to the bottom of the emulsification tank 1, it will continue to float on the liquid surface in the emulsification tank 1 under the action of buoyancy. Figure 8 As shown by the dotted line with an arrow, it will also be sucked into the outer cylinder 2 through the gap between the inner cylinder 6 and the outer cylinder 2, and continue to be whipped by the beater 8 in the outer cylinder 2. After the feeding module completes the feeding, the piston disk 3 is reset, and then the emulsification tank 1 is started to continue stirring and mixing.

[0036] The above are only preferred specific implementation modes of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
