Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of jelly processing equipment, in particular to a raw material mixing tank and a mixing method for jelly processing. Background Art

[0002] The mixing tank plays a vital role in jelly production. Its main function is to fully mix various raw materials such as thickeners, flavors, colorants, sweeteners and acidulants to ensure that the ingredients are evenly distributed, thereby improving the taste and appearance of the jelly. The structure of the mixing tank generally includes the tank body, stirring device, feed port and discharge port, temperature control system, observation window and cleaning port. The tank body is usually made of stainless steel and is mostly cylindrical in shape for easy cleaning and corrosion resistance. The stirring device is the core of the mixing tank, usually composed of a stirring paddle, a stirring shaft and a motor. Its design can be adjusted according to the characteristics of different materials to achieve the best mixing effect. The feed port and discharge port facilitate the addition of raw materials and the discharge of the mixture. The temperature control system helps to control the temperature of the material to ensure the effective dissolution of the thickener. For example, an automatic stirring device for a jelly machine disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN215876983U relies on fluid dynamics and mechanical stirring. When the stirring paddle rotates, the fluid power generated causes the material to circulate. However, it mainly uses a centrally placed stirring paddle to mix the raw materials. Axial flow and radial flow are generated in the mixing stage. The material part close to the central axis area of ​​the tank body is subjected to a greater stirring effect. Since the jelly raw materials are relatively thick and dense, the materials at the bottom and inner wall of the tank body are affected by flow resistance and gravity. The greater the viscosity of the fluid, the more distinct the flow layers are. The materials at the bottom and side walls are far away from the stirring paddle and are subjected to less stirring force, which easily forms a static layer or a low flow rate layer, making it difficult to effectively stir and mix this part of the jelly raw materials. The texture and flavor of the jelly depend on the uniform distribution of the ingredients. Uneven mixing will cause the product to have a granular feel or uneven color, affecting the quality of the final jelly. Summary of the invention

[0013] The present invention also provides a raw material mixing method for jelly processing, which uses the raw material mixing tank for jelly processing and comprises the following steps: S101: Thoroughly clean and inspect the tank, main feed pipe, rotary drive unit, and three-chamber isolation box to ensure that there is no residual material inside the tank, and prepare all jelly ingredients, including but not limited to sugar, gelatin, flavoring, pigment, and water. The quality and proportion of each ingredient shall be accurately weighed in advance according to the recipe; S102: After the raw material preparation and tank inspection are completed, various raw materials are put into the three-chamber isolation box through the main feeding pipe in sequence. During the feeding stage, the rotary drive unit is started to work, and the rotary drive unit first drives the multi-zone gear-type pre-mixing assembly and the middle knife-type crushing assembly to work. The multi-zone gear-type pre-mixing assembly performs pre-preliminary mixing of the raw materials during the feeding period, so that the raw materials can be fully preliminarily mixed in different areas before entering the main mixing stage; S103: After the premixing is completed, the raw materials enter the tank through the three-chamber isolation box. At this time, the rotary power of the central knife-type crushing assembly is synchronously transmitted to each side gear-type mixing assembly. The central knife-type crushing assembly generates a shear force to cut the material into the required fineness, and each knife part of the central knife-type crushing assembly further cuts and mixes the raw materials to ensure the uniformity of the raw materials. The multiple side gear-type mixing assemblies at the outer position of the central knife-type crushing assembly are responsible for the uniform mixing of the materials, stirring and turning the materials in the tank; S104: During the mixing process, the rotational power of the side gear type mixing assembly is also synchronously transmitted to the intermittent dynamic turning assembly. The action frequency of the intermittent dynamic turning assembly is proportional to the rotation speed of the rotary drive unit, the multi-zone gear type front premixing assembly, the middle blade type crushing assembly, and the side gear type mixing assembly, so that the turning frequency and duration are adjusted according to the characteristics of the jelly material. The intermittent dynamic turning assembly turns the mixture upward from the bottom of the tank to ensure that each part of the material can be fully stirred and mixed; S105: After the jelly raw materials are mixed, the discharging operation is performed. The discharging pumping unit discharges the mixed jelly liquid into the storage tank or subsequent processing equipment. The discharging status is monitored during the discharging process to ensure that there is no leakage or blockage. After the discharging operation is completed, the tank body and various components are immediately cleaned to ensure that there is no residue.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention is provided with a rotating drive unit, a three-chamber isolation box, a multi-zone gear-type front premixing assembly, a central knife-type crushing assembly, a side-zone gear-type mixing assembly, an intermittent dynamic turning assembly, a discharge pumping unit and other structures that cooperate with each other. The jelly raw materials to be mixed enter the tank body through the three-chamber isolation box, and while the central knife-type crushing assembly rotates, the multi-zone gear-type front premixing assembly in the three-chamber isolation box premixes the raw materials. The premixed jelly raw materials enter the tank body and are mixed for the second time by the central knife-type crushing assembly and multiple side-zone gear-type mixing assemblies. At the same time, the intermittent dynamic turning assembly causes the raw materials in the lower half of the tank body to be turned up continuously to turn the bottom of the tank body The materials on the upper layer are lifted up to promote their mixing with the materials on the upper layer. The multi-zone gear-type pre-premixing assembly is used as a preliminary mixing device to fully mix the raw materials of different properties, laying a good foundation for subsequent processing. The introduction of the central knife-type crushing assembly during the mixing process can effectively cut and crush larger particles or block materials, so that the materials have reached a relatively uniform particle size when entering the gear-type mixing assemblies in each side zone. In addition, the regular turning of the intermittent dynamic turning assembly can effectively prevent the stratification of materials caused by gravity during the mixing process, so that the obtained jelly raw material mixture can maintain a high degree of consistency in composition and particle size, ensuring the quality stability of the product. Secondly, the efficient preliminary processing of the multi-zone gear-type front premixing assembly and the central knife-type crushing assembly shortens the mixing time of the side gear-type mixing assembly. The introduction of the intermittent dynamic turning assembly also enables the uniform effect to be achieved more quickly during the mixing process, reducing the residence time of the material in the equipment. The efficient discharge design of the final discharge pumping unit further accelerates the material transfer speed, thereby improving the overall production efficiency. The rotary drive unit can synchronously drive and adjust the parameters of each assembly, including the speed, mixing time and turning frequency, according to the characteristics of different raw materials and production requirements, to adapt to different production process requirements. The design of premixing and dynamic turning achieves better mixing effect at relatively low energy consumption. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The auxiliary feed pipe 101 serves to connect the other tank bodies 1 in series, so that multiple tank bodies 1 can be connected in series and used in combination. At the same time, the auxiliary feed pipe 101 can also be used for auxiliary feeding and liquid injection; A sampling valve 102 is coaxially installed at the center of the bottom of the tank body 1. The sampling valve 102 is used by the staff to take materials for observation. It can also be used to discharge the liquid at the bottom of the tank body 1 when the tank body is cleaned.

[0032] A raw material mixing method for jelly processing of the present embodiment adopts the raw material mixing tank for jelly processing, and comprises the following steps: S101: Thoroughly clean and inspect the tank body 1, the main feed pipe 3, the rotary drive unit 11, and the three-chamber isolation box 6 to ensure that there is no residual material inside the tank body, and prepare all jelly ingredients, including but not limited to sugar, gelatin, spices, pigments, and water. The quality and proportion of each ingredient are accurately weighed in advance according to the recipe; S102: After the raw material preparation and tank inspection are completed, the staff will put various raw materials into the three-chamber isolation box 6 through the main feeding pipe 3 in sequence. During the feeding stage, the staff will start the rotary drive unit 11 to work, and the rotary drive unit 11 will first drive the multi-zone gear-type pre-mixing assembly 8 and the middle knife-type crushing assembly 7 to work. The multi-zone gear-type pre-mixing assembly 8 will pre-mix the raw materials during the feeding period, so that the raw materials can be fully pre-mixed in different areas before entering the main mixing stage; S103: After the premixing is completed, the raw materials enter the tank body 1 through the three-chamber isolation box 6. At this time, the rotation power of the central knife-type crushing assembly 7 is synchronously transmitted to each side gear-type mixing assembly 9. The central knife-type crushing assembly 7 generates a shear force to cut the materials into the required fineness, and each knife part of the central knife-type crushing assembly 7 further cuts and mixes the raw materials to ensure the uniformity of the raw materials.

A stopper 1007 in contact with the top of the cylindrical cam 1003 is installed at one end of the surface, a fishbone type lifting plate 1005 is slidably installed on the outer wall of one side of the guide rail 1004, a fisheye connecting rod 1006 is hinged at the top of the fishbone type lifting plate 1005, the top of the fisheye connecting rod 1006 extends to the inside of the transmission chamber 607 and is hinged to one end of the swing arm 1002, and a hollow groove 6071 for the fisheye connecting rod 1006 to move is provided at the bottom of the three-chamber isolation box 6; The mixing shaft 902 drives the cylindrical cam 1003 to rotate through the pulley transmission structure 903. During the rotation of the cylindrical cam 1003, the top protrusion of the cylindrical cam 1003 will contact the stopper 1007, so that the end of the swing arm 1002 swings up around the support 1001, and then the other end of the swing arm 1002 drives the fishbone lifting plate 1005 to move up along the vertical extension direction of the guide rail 1004 using the fisheye connecting rod 1006, so that the jelly raw materials are turned upward by the fishbone lifting plate 1005. When the convex edge of the cylindrical cam 1003 is no longer in contact with the stopper 1007, the weight of the fishbone lifting plate 1005, the fisheye connecting rod 1006, the swing arm 1002 and other components cause themselves to move downward and wait for the next contact and lifting. The materials are turned over regularly during the mixing process to ensure the uniformity of the materials and prevent precipitation, so that all ingredients can be fully mixed.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, before starting mixing, the staff needs to thoroughly clean and inspect the tank body 1, the main feed pipe 3, the rotary drive unit 11, and the three-chamber isolation box 6 to ensure that there is no residual material inside the tank body to avoid cross contamination, and at the same time check the operating status of the rotary drive unit 11 to ensure that all mechanical parts are operating normally, especially the rotary drive unit 11, the central blade-type crushing assembly 7, and the multi-zone gear-type front premixing assembly 8. Whether the functions are normal; prepare all jelly ingredients, including but not limited to sugar, gelatin, spices, pigments, and water. The quality and proportion of each raw material need to be accurately weighed in advance according to the formula, and the staff should carefully check the expiration date and quality of the raw materials to ensure that fresh and qualified raw materials are used; raw material preparation and tank body After the inspection is completed, the staff will feed various types of raw materials into the three-chamber isolation box 6 and the tank body 1 through the main feed pipe 3 in turn. The feeding operation sequence is to add the liquid component first, and then add the solid component. During the feeding process, the staff needs to control the amount of each raw material added according to the formula requirements to ensure that the ratio is accurate; in the feeding stage, the staff starts the rotary drive unit 11 to work, and the rotary drive unit 11 first drives the multi-zone gear-type pre-premixing assembly 8 and the center-mounted knife-type crushing assembly 7 to work. The multi-zone gear-type pre-premixing assembly 8 performs pre-preliminary mixing of the raw materials during the feeding period, so that the raw materials can be fully preliminarily mixed in different areas before entering the main mixing stage; after the premixing is completed, the raw materials enter the three-chamber isolation box 6 through the three-chamber isolation box The raw materials are put into the tank body 1, and the rotary power of the central blade-type crushing assembly 7 is synchronously transmitted to the gear-type mixing assemblies 9 in each side area. In this process, the central blade-type crushing assembly 7 generates a strong shearing force to cut the material into the required fineness, and the various tool parts of the central blade-type crushing assembly 7 further cut and mix the raw materials to ensure the uniformity of the raw materials, while the multiple gear-type mixing assemblies 9 in the side area at the outer position of the central blade-type crushing assembly 7 are responsible for the uniform mixing of the materials, stirring and turning the materials in the tank body. At this time, the central blade-type crushing assembly 7 and the multiple gear-type mixing assemblies 9 in the side area continuously transport the materials to the center through the centrifugal force and shearing force generated by the rotation, and also push the materials in the central area to the edge, so as to achieve all-round mixing. In this process, according to the needs, the staff adjusts the speed and working time of the rotary drive unit 11 to achieve the best mixing effect. During the mixing process, the rotary power of the side gear mixing assembly 9 is also synchronously transmitted to the intermittent dynamic turning assembly 10. The action frequency of the intermittent dynamic turning assembly 10 is proportional to the speed of the rotary drive unit 11, the multi-zone gear front premixing assembly 8, the middle knife-type crushing assembly 7, and the side gear mixing assembly 9, so that the turning frequency and duration are adjusted according to the characteristics of the jelly material. The intermittent dynamic turning assembly 10 turns the mixture upward from the bottom of the tank to ensure that each part of the material can be fully stirred and mixed, avoiding the stratification phenomenon caused by gravity precipitation of the material during the mixing process;When the jelly raw materials are mixed, the staff performs the discharge operation. At this time, the staff should check the discharge pumping unit 4 to ensure its normal operation. According to the production requirements, the staff sets the flow rate and time of the discharge pumping unit 4 to ensure that the mixture can be discharged smoothly. In this process, the discharge pumping unit 4 is started to discharge the mixed jelly liquid into the storage tank or subsequent processing equipment. During the discharge process, the staff monitors the discharge state to ensure that there is no leakage or blockage. After the discharge operation is completed, the staff immediately cleans the tank body 1 and various components to ensure that there is no residue. ;
