[0038] The working principle of the production equipment of the composite apple cider vinegar powder proposed by the present invention is that the processed apple cider vinegar and the prepared auxiliary materials are first put into a mixing box 1, and then the driving motor 2 is started in the positive direction, thereby driving the triangular gear 3 to rotate, and then driving the first gear 4 and the second gear 5 to rotate, thereby driving the stirring shaft 8 to rotate, and then the apple cider vinegar and the auxiliary materials can be uniformly stirred.

[0039] It is worth noting that the driving motor 2 can drive the connecting block 6 to rotate while driving the triangular gear 3 to rotate, so that the connecting block 6 rotates inside the connecting piece 7, and then drives the stirring shaft 8 to rotate irregularly, making the mixing more uniform.

[0040] Furthermore, by starting the drive motor 2 in reverse, the third gear 9 is driven to rotate, and then the fourth gear 11 is driven to rotate through the gear belt 10, thereby driving the cleaning mechanism to move, and then the inner wall of the mixing box 1 can be cleaned to prevent apple vinegar and auxiliary materials from adhering to the inner wall of the mixing box 1 and affecting the next use. It is worth noting that starting the drive motor 2 in the forward direction will not drive the cleaning mechanism to move.
