At this time, the tank body and the tank cover are separated, and the tank cover can be moved upward and removed, so that the interior of the tank body and the stirring blade rod can be cleaned conveniently.

[0051] 3. The stirring mechanism in the present invention consists of a stirring shaft and a plurality of stirring blades. The stirring shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the tank cover. The plurality of stirring blades are evenly fixed on the circumferential surface of the stirring shaft. The top of the stirring shaft passes through the top of the tank cover and extends upward, which can ensure that the material in the tank body is fully stirred and evenly mixed.

[0052] 4. The horizontal adjustment component in the driving mechanism of the present invention includes a gantry, a screw rod, a nut block and a first servo motor. The first servo motor drives the screw rod to rotate, so that the nut block drives the second servo motor and the electric push rod to move, thereby realizing precise adjustment of the horizontal position of the second servo motor, ensuring that the driving shaft can be accurately aligned with the connecting groove of the stirring shaft or the rotating shaft, thereby improving the operating accuracy of the entire device.

[0053] 5. The present invention adopts a stable design of the rotating mechanism. In the rotating mechanism, the annular inner rack cooperates with the T-shaped annular groove on the circumferential inner wall of the tank cover through a T-shaped annular ring, thereby ensuring the rotation stability and accuracy of the annular inner rack. At the same time, the movable hollow shaft in the transmission assembly is limited by a stabilizing rod, so that the movable hollow shaft is more stable when rotating, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the entire rotating mechanism and improving the overall structural stability of the tank.

[0113] Example 2

[0114] This embodiment 2 also provides a method for processing fruit and vegetable juice, which is used to further illustrate and describe the highly sealed stainless steel tank provided in the above embodiment 1:

[0115] Specifically, a fruit and vegetable juice processing method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0116] S0, washing and cutting the pre-selected fruits and vegetables, and then using a juicer to extract mixed juice, the mixed fruit and vegetable juice is filtered to remove large particles of impurities and fibers, and then the mixed fruit and vegetable juice is collected in the tank body 1, ready for the next step of processing;

[0117] S1. When installing the can cover 2 on the top of the can body 1, first align the multiple threaded holes 701 on the can body 1 and the can cover 2 up and down to ensure that the threaded rod 7 can be connected to the two threaded holes 701 aligned up and down when rotating; at the same time, add the required additives, including nutrition enhancers or flavor improvers, into the can body to improve the nutritional value and taste of the fruit and vegetable juice;

[0118] S2, start the first servo motor 801 in the driving mechanism, and its output end drives the screw rod 802 to rotate, and the screw rod 802 drives the nut block 803 to move horizontally, and the nut block 803 drives the second servo motor 804 and the electric push rod 805 to move, so that the second servo motor 804 is located on the upper side of the rotating shaft 301, and when the infrared signal transmitter 11 on the electric push rod 805 and the infrared signal receiver 111 on the rotating shaft 301 complete the signal matching, the drive shaft 806 is aligned with the connecting groove 808, and the limit bar 807 is aligned with the limit groove 809, and then the electric push rod 805 is started, and its protruding end drives the drive shaft 806 to be embedded in the connecting groove 808 on the rotating shaft 301, and then the second servo motor 804 is started, and its output end drives the drive shaft 806 through the electric push rod 805 and the drive shaft 806. The rotating shaft 301 rotates, and the rotating shaft 301 drives the driving gear 302 to rotate. Since the driving gear 302 is meshed with the annular inner rack 3, the annular inner rack 3 drives the annular outer rack 5 to rotate. The annular outer rack 5 is meshed with multiple transmission gears 604 to realize that multiple movable hollow shafts 601 rotate with the stabilizing rod 603 as the axis. When the movable hollow shaft 601 rotates, it drives the threaded rod 7 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 701 on the tank cover 2, the threaded rod 7 moves downward when it rotates until it enters the threaded hole 701 on the tank body 1, fixes the tank cover 2 to the top of the tank body 1, and squeezes the two rubber strips 14 to realize that the tank body 1 has high sealing after the tank cover 2 is installed on the top of the tank body 1; in this step, it is also necessary to ensure that the fruit and vegetable juice and the additive are fully mixed;

[0119] S3. When stirring is required, the extended end is retracted by the electric push rod 805, and then the first servo motor 801 is started to rotate in the opposite direction, driving the second servo motor 804 to move to the upper side of the stirring shaft 9, and the step of adjusting the position of the drive shaft 806 in S2 is repeated to align the drive shaft (806) with the connecting groove 808 on the stirring shaft 9, and then the electric push rod 805 is started so that the output end drives the drive shaft 806 to insert into the connecting groove 808, so as to drive the stirring shaft 9 to rotate, so that the multiple stirring blades 901 are stirred in the tank body 1, ensuring uniform mixing of the fruit and vegetable juice and the additives;

[0120] S4, when the tank cover 2 needs to be disassembled for cleaning, the drive shaft 806 is aligned with the rotating shaft 301, and the rotating shaft 301 is rotated in the opposite direction based on step S2, so that the multiple threaded rods 7 are respectively disengaged from the threaded holes 701 on the multiple tank bodies 1, but are always located in the threaded holes 701 on the tank cover 2, ensuring that the threaded rods 7 are always threadedly connected to the threaded holes 701 on the tank cover 2 without slipping. At this time, the tank body 1 and the tank cover 2 are separated, and the tank cover 2 can be moved upward and removed, so that the interior of the tank body 1 and the stirring blade rod 901 can be cleaned conveniently;

[0121] S5, sterilization and packaging: the feed pipe 12 releases the mixed fruit and vegetable juice into the container, uses heat treatment or other sterilization technology to ensure the hygiene and safety of the fruit and vegetable juice, and then bottles and seals the fruit and vegetable juice in a sterile environment, labels it, and performs final packaging.

[0122] In this embodiment, in step S0, the stirring blade rod 901 in the tank body 1 is replaced with a stirring blade (at this time, the processing tank is used as a juicer, and steps S1-S4 are repeated) to achieve mixed cutting of fruits and vegetables. After a filter net is placed at the bottom of the tank body 1, filtering can be achieved to remove large particles of impurities and fibers.

[0123] The tank cover installation steps S1-S2 ensure that the tank cover 2 is accurately installed on the top of the tank body 1 to achieve high sealing performance, as follows:

[0124] The multiple threaded holes 701 on the tank body 1 and the tank cover 2 are aligned vertically to ensure that the threaded rod 7 can be smoothly connected to the two threaded holes 701 aligned vertically when rotating, which is the basis for achieving tight fixation of the tank cover 2;

[0125] Start the first servo motor 801, and its output end drives the screw rod 802 to rotate, and the screw rod 802 drives the nut block 803 to move horizontally, thereby driving the second servo motor 804 and the electric push rod 805 to move, so that the second servo motor 804 is located on the upper side of the rotating shaft 301. When the infrared signal transmitter 11 on the electric push rod 805 matches the infrared signal receiver 111 on the rotating shaft 301, the drive shaft 806 can be accurately aligned with the connection groove 808, and the limit strip 807 is aligned with the limit groove 809. Start the electric push rod 805 to make the drive shaft 806 embedded in the connection groove 808 on the rotating shaft 301, and then start the second servo motor 804. Through a series of transmissions, the threaded rod 7 rotates and moves downward, and finally enters the threaded hole 701 on the tank body 1, fixes the tank cover 2 on the top of the tank body 1, and squeezes the two rubber strips 14 at the same time to achieve high sealing performance;

[0126] The stirring operation step S3 is to achieve stirring of the material in the tank body 1, as follows:

[0127] When stirring is required, the electric push rod 805 retracts the extended end, and the first servo motor 801 rotates in the opposite direction, driving the second servo motor 804 to move to the upper side of the stirring shaft 9; repeat the step of adjusting the position of the drive shaft 806 in S2, so that the drive shaft 806 is aligned with the connecting groove 808 on the stirring shaft 9, and then start the electric push rod 805 so that the output end drives the drive shaft 806 to insert into the connecting groove 808, thereby driving the stirring shaft 9 to rotate, and then the multiple stirring blades 901 stir the materials in the tank body 1;

[0128] The tank cover disassembly and cleaning step S4 is convenient for cleaning the inside of the tank body 1 and the stirring blade rod 901, as follows:

[0129] When the tank cover 2 needs to be removed for cleaning, the drive shaft 806 is aligned on the rotating shaft 301, and the rotating shaft 301 rotates in the opposite direction based on S2, so that the multiple threaded rods 7 are disengaged from the threaded holes 701 on the tank body 1, but always remain in the threaded holes 701 on the tank cover 2 to prevent the threaded rods 7 from slipping; at this time, the tank body 1 and the tank cover 2 are separated, and the tank cover 2 can be moved upward and removed, which is convenient for cleaning the inside of the tank body 1 and the stirring blade 901.
