[0002] When producing bean beverages, cereal beverages, or nut beverages, raw materials such as beans, cereals, or nuts need to be conveyed from a silo to a mixing silo, where they are mixed with a liquid. The liquid can be hot water, the overflowed liquid after grinding, or the liquid waiting to enter the grinder again, etc. After the raw materials and the liquid are mixed to form a mixture, the mixture after mixing will enter the next production process through the mixing silo.
[0003] However, when the raw materials are mixed with the liquid in the mixing silo, due to the high temperature of the liquid, the steam generated by the liquid will enter the silo along the pipeline, causing the dry raw materials in the silo to get damp and stick to each other, affecting the blanking.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0044] In the related art, the discharge port of the raw material bin 1 is provided with a gate valve. By opening the gate valve, the raw materials in the raw material bin 1 enter the mixing bin 2. However, if the opening degree of the gate valve is too large and the opening time is too long, more raw materials will enter the mixing bin 2, or if the opening degree is too small and the opening time is too short, less raw materials will enter the mixing bin 2, resulting in too much or too little raw materials in the materials, thus affecting the next production process.
[0045] In addition, the liquid enters the mixing bin 2 through a single pipeline, resulting in poor mixing effect of the liquid and the raw materials, and the liquid cannot be fully mixed with the raw materials. At the same time, due to the steam in the mixing bin 2, some of the raw materials will adhere to the inner wall of the mixing bin 2 and cannot be mixed with the liquid.
[0046] The following will describe the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

The raw materials are mixed with the liquid in the mixing bin 2 to form a material. Preferably, the liquid in the medium pipe 3 is hot water. The water vapor in the mixing bin 2 will enter the first discharge port 101. The blowing structure 5 arranged in the first discharge port 101 blows towards the mixing bin 2, so that the water vapor entering the first discharge port 101 is blown back into the mixing bin 2 by the blowing structure 5, which can effectively prevent the water vapor from entering the raw material bin 1, causing the raw materials to be damp and stick to each other, affecting the discharge problem, ensuring the discharge effect, and at the same time ensuring the production efficiency.
