Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of jujube food processing, in particular to a jujube paste mixing and blending device for jujube food processing. Background Art

[0002] Jujube paste has a sweet, soft and mouth-watering taste and is often used as a filling for desserts and pastries. Traditional jujube paste processing mainly relies on mechanical stirring, in which the pitted and steamed jujube raw materials are beaten into a paste through mechanical shear force.

[0003] However, the mechanical stirring process described above results in a high rate of fiber breakage, significantly impacting the taste and nutritional value of the jujube paste. Furthermore, the stirring process is prone to uneven local pressure, which can cause the paste to clump or stratify, resulting in poor quality of the final jujube paste. Furthermore, the complex structural surface of the stirring blades creates numerous blind spots, making residual jujube paste difficult to clean. Therefore, a jujube paste mixing and dispensing device that balances fiber protection, uniform mixing, and efficient cleaning is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a jujube paste mixing and blending device for jujube food processing, which solves the problems of high fiber breakage rate and insufficient uniformity in the traditional jujube paste mixing process.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solutions: a jujube paste mixing and blending device for jujube food processing, comprising a processing trough, two symmetrically arranged gathering seats are slidably connected in the processing trough, a stamping device is provided above the processing trough, an inflation device is provided in the stamping device, and the piston of the inflation device rises and falls synchronously with the stamping end of the stamping device, a rotating drum is provided on one side of the processing trough, and the rotating drum is driven to rotate by a power device, a gas tank is provided on one side of the rotating drum, a one-way valve is provided at the air inlet of the gas tank, and is connected to the output end of the inflation device through an air pipe, a pressure control valve is provided at the exhaust port of the gas tank, and is connected to the air inlet end of the rotating drum through an air pipe, a crankshaft component is provided between the rotating drum and the stamping device, when the power device drives the rotating drum to rotate, the stamping device is driven to perform a stamping step by the crankshaft component, and air is injected into the gas tank through the inflation device to increase the pressure, and when the air pressure in the gas tank is higher than the air pressure in the rotating drum, the gas in the gas tank is injected into the rotating drum to increase the air pressure in the rotating drum. The pitted, steamed jujubes are placed between two collecting seats in the processing tank. An appropriate amount of starch or pectin is then added to enhance their plasticity and reduce fluidity variations during stamping. Although the stamped jujube paste has been initially formed, uneven local pressure can still cause fiber adhesion or clumping. Therefore, the stamped jujube paste is then fed into a rotating drum. The centrifugal force generated by the rotating drum keeps the paste in motion, promoting further uniform distribution during dynamic dispersion.

[0006] Preferably, the two gathering seats are provided with an arcuate surface on opposite sides, and the upper parts of the two gathering seats are provided with a guiding inclined surface, and the bottom wall is provided with a shovel-shaped surface. The other side of the gathering seat is fixedly connected with a slide rod, and the slide rod passes through and is slidably connected to one side of the processing groove, and the through end is fixedly connected with a baffle. A spring is provided between the baffle and the outer wall of the processing groove, and the spring is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod. When the punching end of the punching device descends, it squeezes into the space between the two gathering seats, so that the two gathering seats are separated synchronously and the jujube material between the two gathering seats is punched. When the punching end of the punching device rises and moves out from between the two gathering seats, the two gathering seats move closer to each other under the action of the spring force. At the same time, the shovel-shaped surface of the bottom wall of the gathering seat scoops up the scattered jujube material, so that the jujube material is turned over and piled under the action of the arc surface and gravity.

[0013] The present invention provides a jujube paste mixing and blending device for jujube food processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The present invention uses a punching method to replace the traditional shearing and stirring process to prepare jujube paste. The curved and shovel-shaped surfaces are used to turn and gather the material, significantly reducing the breakage rate of the jujube paste fibers and improving the uniformity of the punching process, thereby enhancing the taste of the jujube paste. Simultaneously, the centrifugal force generated by the rotating drum causes the jujube paste to continuously move, promoting further uniform distribution of the jujube paste during dynamic dispersion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Please see the attached Figure 1-Attached Figure 7 The embodiment of the present invention provides a jujube paste mixing and distributing device for jujube food processing, comprising a processing tank 1, wherein two symmetrically arranged gathering seats 2 are slidably connected in the processing tank 1, a stamping device is arranged above the processing tank 1, and an inflation device is arranged in the stamping device, and the piston of the inflation device rises and falls synchronously with the stamping end of the stamping device. A rotating drum 3 is arranged on one side of the processing tank 1, and the rotating drum 3 is driven to rotate by a power device. A gas tank 4 is arranged on one side of the rotating drum 3, a one-way valve is provided at the air inlet of the gas tank 4, and is connected to the output end of the inflation device through an air pipe, a pressure control valve is provided at the exhaust port of the gas tank 4, and is connected to the air inlet end of the rotating drum 3 through an air pipe, a crankshaft component is provided between the rotating drum 3 and the stamping device, when the power device drives the rotating drum 3 to rotate, the stamping device is driven to perform the stamping step by the crankshaft component, and at the same time, air is injected into the gas tank 4 by the inflation device to increase the pressure, and when the air pressure in the gas tank 4 is higher than the air pressure in the rotating drum 3, the gas in the gas tank 4 is injected into the rotating drum 3 to increase the air pressure in the rotating drum 3. The stamping device includes an outer box body 8, the bottom wall of the outer box body 8 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the processing groove 1, and a stamping block 9 is slidably connected inside the outer box body 8. The bottom wall of the stamping block 9 is provided with a guide slope 2 901 matching the guide slope 1 202. The outer box body 8 is provided with a slide groove 10 on the side facing the rotating drum 3, and a slider 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the stamping block 9. The slider 11 passes through the slide groove 10 and is slidably connected in the slide groove 10. The two gathering seats 2 are each provided with an arcuate surface 201 on the opposite side, and the upper part of the two gathering seats 2 is provided with a guide inclined surface 202, and the bottom wall is provided with a shovel-shaped surface 203. The other side of the gathering seat 2 is fixedly connected to a slide rod 5, which passes through and is slidably connected to one side of the processing groove 1, and this passing end is fixedly connected to a baffle 6. A spring 7 is provided between the baffle 6 and the outer wall of the processing groove 1. The spring 7 is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 5. When the punching end of the punching device descends, it squeezes into the space between the two gathering seats 2, so that the two gathering seats 2 are separated synchronously and the jujube material between the two gathering seats 2 is punched. When the punching end of the punching device rises and moves out from between the two gathering seats 2, the two gathering seats 2 are brought closer to each other under the action of the elastic force of the spring 7. At the same time, the shovel-shaped surface 203 of the bottom wall of the gathering seat 2 shovels up the scattered jujube material, so that the jujube material is turned over and piled under the action of the arcuate surface 201 and gravity.

[0025] The jujube raw material after de-core boiling is placed between the two gathering seats 2 in the processing tank 1, and then an appropriate amount of starch or pectin is added to improve its plasticity and reduce the difference in fluidity during stamping. While the power device drives the rotating drum 3 to rotate, the crankshaft component drives the stamping device to perform the stamping step, so that the stamping block 9 repeatedly stamps the jujube raw material. At the same time, when the stamping block 9 descends and squeezes into the space between the two gathering seats 2, the two gathering seats 2 are synchronously separated, so that the space between the two gathering seats 2 is increased, so that the stamped jujube raw material can move to both sides, thereby avoiding fiber adhesion caused by excessive compression. When the stamping block 9 rises and moves out of the space between the two gathering seats 2, the two gathering seats 2 are brought close to each other under the action of the elastic force of the spring 7. At this time, the shovel-shaped surface 203 of the bottom wall of the gathering seat 2 scoops up the scattered jujube material, so that the jujube material is turned over and piled up under the action of the arc surface 201 and gravity, so as to facilitate the next stamping. It should be noted that, according to the principle of stamping, the jujube paste at the bottom is most obviously affected by stamping. In order to avoid the problem of excessive compression caused by the accumulation of this part of the jujube paste and repeated stamping, when the next stamping is carried out, the shovel-shaped surface 203 of the bottom wall of the gathering seat 2 moves in phase separation, while also taking away the part of the jujube paste at the bottom, so that it moves to the non-frontal pressure area, and then cooperates with the gathering effect of the arc surface 201, repeating the cycle, and finally achieving a uniform and sufficient pressure effect of the jujube paste. The preparation of jujube paste by stamping instead of the traditional shear stirring process greatly reduces the breakage rate of the jujube paste fiber, thereby improving the edible taste of the jujube paste.

[0026] Although the pressed jujube paste has been initially formed, it may still cause fiber adhesion or agglomeration due to uneven local pressure. Therefore, the pressed jujube paste needs to be fed into the rotating drum 3. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the rotating drum 3 makes the jujube paste move continuously, prompting the jujube paste to be further evenly distributed in the dynamic dispersion.

[0027] It should be noted that while the power device drives the rotating drum 3 to rotate, it also drives the stamping device to perform the stamping step through the crankshaft component and drives the inflation device to operate, so that air is continuously injected into the gas tank 4, increasing the air pressure in the gas tank 4, making the gas tank 4 a high-pressure gas source, and then the high-pressure gas in the gas tank 4 is injected into the rotating drum 3, increasing the air pressure in the rotating drum 3, thereby playing a pressurizing role, causing the moisture and pectin in the jujube paste to rearrange, further reducing the risk of fiber breakage. At the same time, it promotes closer bonding between the jujube paste particles and improves the stability of the finished product.

[0028] It should be noted that, in the above solution, the operation of the punching device, the rotation of the drum 3 and the generation of high-pressure gas are all achieved by a single power source, namely the power device, thereby achieving full utilization of energy.

[0029] Of course, an interlayer can be opened in the wall of the drum 3 and connected to the temperature control circulation equipment to control the temperature in the drum 3, thereby achieving low-temperature cold processing at 25-40°C to prevent the jujube paste from oxidizing and discoloring.

[0030] The inflation device includes an air cylinder 12, one end of the piston rod of the air cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the stamping block 9, and the other end is fixedly connected to the piston of the air cylinder 12. The outer wall of the air cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bracket 13, and the bottom wall of the bracket 13 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the outer box body 8.

[0031] The piston rod of the air cylinder 12 rises and falls with the punching block 9 , thereby driving the piston to perform reciprocating lifting and lowering motion in the air cylinder 12 , and finally driving the inflation device to continuously inject air into the air tank 4 .

[0032] Both ends of the rotating drum 3 are fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 14, and the central axis of the rotating shaft 14 coincides with the central axis of the rotating drum 3. A bottom plate 15 is provided under the rotating drum 3, and two symmetrical bases 16 are provided on the bottom plate 15. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 14 passes through and is rotatably connected to the upper part of the base 16.

[0033] The power device includes a motor 17, the outer wall of the motor 17 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 16, the output end of the motor 17 is fixedly connected to a driving gear 18, the outer wall of the rotating drum 3 is sleeved and fixedly connected to an external gear 19, and the tooth end of the driving gear 18 is meshed with the tooth end of the external gear 19.

[0034] The motor 17 drives the driving gear 18 to rotate, thereby driving the outer gear 19 meshing with it to rotate, and finally achieving the effect of driving the rotating drum 3 to rotate. It should be noted that the rotation center line of the outer gear 19 here coincides with the rotation center axis of the rotating drum 3.

[0035] The crankshaft component includes a connecting rod 20 and a turntable 21. The center of the turntable 21 is sleeved and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 14. One end of the connecting rod 20 is rotatably connected to the circular surface of the turntable 21 near the edge, and the other end is rotatably connected to the end face of the slider 11.

[0036] The rotation of the rotating drum 3 drives the rotating disk 21 to rotate, and the connecting rod 20 drives the slider 11 to perform reciprocating lifting motion along the sliding groove 10, thereby driving the punching block 9 to perform reciprocating punching motion.

[0037] An inlet and outlet is provided at the center of one side of the processing tank 1 away from the rotating drum 3 , and the inlet and outlet are covered and sealed by a sealing cover 22 .

[0038] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
