Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technology of mixing equipment, and particularly relates to a carbonated beverage mixing ratio device. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of carbonated beverages, water and syrup are first mixed in a certain proportion, and then the mixed liquid is transported to a carbonation storage tank system for carbonation and storage.

[0003] Since the uniformity of the diffusion of syrup in water directly affects the taste of the finally prepared carbonated beverage, the mixing effect in the syrup and water mixing process is crucial. In a common mixing device, a stirrer arranged at the bottom agitates the mixed liquid in the mixing tank, so that the syrup diffuses rapidly in water. However, due to the limited agitation range of the stirrer and the single nature of the water flow in the mixing tank during the stirring process, the diffusion efficiency of the syrup is low, and it is easy to generate a stirring dead angle, resulting in a general diffusion effect of the syrup in water, thereby affecting the taste and quality of the carbonated beverage.

[0028] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further introduced in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Embodiment 1:

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 - 6 , a carbonated beverage mixing ratio device, including a water tank 101 and a sugar tank 102 connected above the mixing tank 1. Delivery pipes 103 are connected between the water tank 101 and the mixing tank 1 and between the sugar tank 102 and the mixing tank 1. Metering valves 104 are provided on the delivery pipes 103. A rotating shaft 2 is arranged inside the mixing tank 1. Multiple groups of fixed stirring plates 21 are arranged at intervals outside the rotating shaft 2. The fixed stirring plates 21 are arranged obliquely. When the rotating shaft 2 drives the fixed stirring plates 21 to rotate, the fixed stirring plates 21 drive the liquid below to flow upward.

[0031] It should be noted that during the process of adding water and syrup, the flow rates of water and syrup are precisely adjusted by adjusting the opening degrees of the metering valves 104 installed at the bottom of the water tank 101 and the metering valves 104 installed at the bottom of the sugar tank 102, so that the water and syrup can reach the mixing ratio required by the user.

[0032] In this embodiment, two movable stirring plates 22 are arranged outside the rotating shaft 2 above the fixed stirring plates 21. A control unit is arranged outside the movable stirring plates 22. The control unit controls the movable stirring plates 22 to maintain a vertical state or controls the movable stirring plates 22 to maintain an inclined state.

[0033] It should be noted that the bottom of the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mixing tank 1, and the rotating shaft 2 is driven by a motor. A support frame 23 is installed on the inner side surface of the mixing tank 1. The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the support frame 23. Through the setting of the support frame 23, the stability of the rotating shaft 2 during normal operation is better.

[0034] It should be further noted that when the moving stirring plate 22 is in an inclined state, the inclination direction of the moving stirring plate 22 is opposite to that of the fixed stirring plate 21. When the rotating shaft 2 drives the moving stirring plate 22 to rotate, the moving stirring plate 22 drives the liquid inside the mixing tank 1 to flow downward.

[0035] In this embodiment, the control unit includes a connecting seat 3 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 2. Two moving stirring plates 22 are respectively rotatably connected to both sides of the connecting seat 3. An activity groove 31 adapted to the moving stirring plate 22 is provided inside the connecting seat 3. The inner side surface of the activity groove 31 is rotatably connected with a control gear 32 fixedly connected coaxially with the moving stirring plate 22. A toothed plate 33 is engaged with the outside of the control gear 32. The toothed plate 33 is slidably connected to the inner side surface of the activity groove 31 and penetrates above the connecting seat 3. A circular groove 34 is provided at the top of the inner wall of the mixing tank 1. The inner side surface of the circular groove 34 is slidably connected with a movable disk 35. The bottom of the movable disk 35 is rotatably connected with a turntable 36. The toothed plate 33 is installed at the bottom of the turntable 36. A control cylinder 37 is installed at the top of the mixing tank 1. The bottom of the telescopic end of the control cylinder 37 penetrates the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 and is fixedly connected with the movable disk 35. When the telescopic end of the control cylinder 37 expands and contracts, it can drive the movable disk 35 to move in the vertical direction. A guiding vertical groove 38 is provided on the inner side surface of the circular groove 34. A guiding block 39 adapted to the guiding vertical groove 38 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the movable disk 35. The guiding block 39 is slidably connected to the inner side surface of the guiding vertical groove 38.

[0036] It should be added that a control system is provided outside the mixing tank 1, and the control cylinder 37, the motor, etc. are all electrically connected to the control system. During the working process, the telescopic end of the control cylinder 37 is controlled by the control system to extend intermittently, and after extension, it retracts after a certain time interval and extends again after a certain time interval, and so on in a cycle to ensure uniform stirring of the materials in the mixing tank 1.

[0037] During operation, the water and syrup after proportioning are transported into the mixing tank 1. At this time, the rotating shaft 2 is driven to rotate by the motor. The rotation of the rotating shaft 2 drives the fixed stirring plate 21 and the moving stirring plate 22 to rotate. The rotation of the fixed stirring plate 21 transports the water and syrup mixture at the bottom of the mixing tank 1 upward. During the rotation of the moving stirring plate 22, the telescopic end of the control cylinder 37 intermittently performs an extending action. When the telescopic end of the control cylinder 37 contracts, the movable disk 35 drives the turntable 36 to move upward. The upward movement of the turntable 36 causes the toothed plate 33 to move upward. The upward movement of the toothed plate 33 drives the control gear 32 to rotate. The rotation of the control gear 32 drives the moving stirring plate 22 to rotate, so that the moving stirring plate 22 changes from a vertical state to an inclined state. When the telescopic end of the control cylinder 37 extends downward, the movable disk 35 drives the turntable 36 to move downward, and the toothed plate 33 follows and descends. The downward movement of the toothed plate 33 drives the control gear 32 to rotate in the reverse direction, and the moving stirring plate 22 rotates in the reverse direction to the vertical state;

[0038] When the moving stirring plate 22 is in an inclined state, it can push the water and syrup mixture above in the mixing tank 1 downward, forming a convection with the mixture flowing upward from below, so that the two mixtures can collide and diffuse better, making the mixing more uniform and ensuring the consistent taste of carbonated beverages;

[0039] When the moving stirring plate 22 is in a vertical state, it can stir the mixture on the same horizontal plane. During the upward flow of the lower mixture, the vertical stirring of the moving stirring plate 22 further promotes the fusion of the upper and lower layers of the mixture, enhancing the convection effect and making the mixing effect of the mixture better;

[0040] During the mixing process of water and syrup, by continuously switching and operating various stirring methods, the diffusion speed of the syrup in the water is further accelerated, making the mixing efficiency of the two higher.

[0041] Embodiment 2:

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 6 In this embodiment, on the basis of the above embodiment, a technical solution is provided: The toothed plate 33 includes a fixed toothed plate 4 and a movable toothed plate 41. The top end of the fixed toothed plate 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 36. A receiving groove 42 corresponding to the movable toothed plate 41 is opened at the bottom of the turntable 36. A groove body corresponding to the receiving groove 42 is opened inside the turntable 36. A limiting insertion plate 43 is slidably connected to the inner side surface of the groove body. An installation seat 44 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 2. An installation cavity is opened on the inner side surface of the installation seat 44. An upper rack 45 and a lower rack 46 are respectively slidably connected to the top and bottom of the inner wall of the installation cavity. A transmission gear 47 is rotatably connected to the inner side surface of the installation cavity. A driving cylinder 48 is installed inside the groove body. Upper slots 49 and lower slots 410 corresponding to the limiting insertion plate 43 and the lower rack 46 are respectively opened on the side surface of the movable toothed plate 41. A telescopic sleeve plate 411 is installed between the limiting insertion plate 43 and the upper rack 45.

[0043] It should be noted that the telescopic end of the driving cylinder 48 is fixedly connected to the limiting insertion plate 43. When the telescopic end of the driving cylinder 48 extends, the limiting insertion plate 43 moves into the upper slot 49.

[0044] Furthermore, the upper rack 45 and the lower rack 46 are respectively engaged with the upper and lower ends of the transmission gear 47. When the transmission gear 47 drives the lower rack 46 to move outward, the lower rack 46 moves into the lower slot 410.

[0045] During the mixing process of water and syrup, the driving cylinder 48 is in a working state at the same time, and its telescopic end also performs an intermittent telescopic movement, that is, after it extends, it stops for a certain period of time, then retracts, and after stopping for a certain period of time, it extends again, and so on;

[0046] When the telescopic end of the driving cylinder 48 extends, the limiting plug plate 43 pushes the movable toothed plate 41 to move. The movement of the movable toothed plate 41 drives the telescopic sleeve plate 411 to move. The movement of the telescopic sleeve plate 411 drives the upper rack 45 to move. With the cooperation of the transmission gear 47, the lower rack 46 moves in the reverse direction and withdraws from the inside of the lower slot 410. When the limiting plug plate 43 moves, it will be inserted into the inside of the upper slot 49. At this time, when the turntable 36 moves upward, it will no longer drive the movable toothed plate 41 to rise synchronously, so that it always maintains the initial state. When the movable toothed plate 41 rises, it will also drive the fixed toothed plate 4 to move upward, so that the movable stirring plate 22 connected to the movable toothed plate 41 remains in the original state, while the fixed stirring plate 21 connected to the fixed toothed plate 4 rotates for state adjustment, so that during the stirring process, the two movable stirring plates 22 above can push the water above to flow in different directions, thereby generating multi-directional turbulence in the mixing tank 1 and enhancing the mixing effect of water and syrup, making the mixing effect of water and syrup better.

[0047] Only some exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been described by way of illustration above. Undoubtedly, for those of ordinary skill in the art, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and description are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
