Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to an energy-saving grinding equipment and process for processing raw materials for convenience foods. Background Technology
[0002] Grinding equipment is crucial in the processing of convenience food ingredients. Its key function is to process raw materials into granules or powders that meet the product's shape, texture, and processing requirements. Colloid mills are precision grinding equipment that can pulverize convenience food ingredients to the micron level. In practical applications, they are often used to process instant noodle sauce packets and vermicelli starch paste. Fine grinding significantly enhances the richness of the broth and improves the smoothness of the texture.
[0003] Colloid mills rely on the shearing and grinding action between a high-speed rotating rotor and stator to achieve fine processing of raw materials. However, they are only suitable for wet raw materials. For raw materials with poor moisture content, water needs to be added to dilute them during grinding. This can prevent the temperature inside the grinding chamber from becoming too high and causing the raw material to gelatinize, and it can also prevent the rotor from wearing out due to excessive friction.
[0004] Existing technologies often use a water supply system above the hopper to dilute the raw materials. However, this method has the following drawbacks: during grinding, the raw materials and water are not mixed evenly, resulting in different ratios in different locations, which in turn causes uneven grinding force within the grinding chamber. In some areas, the raw materials are difficult to grind due to lack of water, necessitating longer grinding times or multiple grinding cycles, which increases energy consumption and production costs. In areas where dry raw materials are concentrated, the lack of water for lubrication and heat dissipation makes it difficult to dissipate the heat generated during grinding, causing the grinding chamber temperature to become too high, leading to gelatinization and deterioration of the raw materials. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Given that existing technologies suffer from inconsistent humidification of raw materials, leading to increased grinding time, accelerated wear on grinding equipment, and reduced processing efficiency, an energy-saving grinding and processing device for convenient food raw material processing is proposed.
[0006] The purpose is to uniformly humidify the falling raw materials with water mist while simultaneously spreading them evenly, thereby reducing friction, improving grinding efficiency, and enhancing the final processing effect.

The other end of the upper fine hole passes through the rotating platform, and the other end of the lower fine hole is equipped with an annular atomizer. The annular atomizer is disposed on the inner wall of the upper fine hole.
[0009] One of the conveying chambers is connected to the inlet fan blade and the upper annular groove at both ends, respectively, while the other conveying chamber is connected to the water supply component and the lower annular groove at both ends, respectively.
[0010] Furthermore, the energy-saving unit includes a protective cover, an energy-saving motor is installed inside the protective cover, and a spiral heat dissipation pipe is wound around the outer wall of the energy-saving motor.
[0011] Furthermore, both ends of the outer wall of the outer tube are movably fitted with support frames. The lower support frame abuts against the inner wall of the hopper, and the upper support frame is hinged to a clamp at its end. The clamp is fixedly installed on the upper port of the hopper.
[0012] Furthermore, the water turbine drive mechanism includes an annular water tank fixedly installed on the upper support frame, a water turbine component is rotatably connected in a sealed manner inside the annular water tank, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe are fixedly connected to the annular water tank, the other end of the inlet pipe is connected to an external water supply device, and the other end of the outlet pipe is connected to a spiral heat dissipation pipe.
[0013] An annular cavity is formed on the inner side wall of the annular water tank. An annular plate is provided in the annular cavity. The outer wall of the annular plate is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the water turbine component. The inner wall of the annular plate is connected and fixed to the outer wall of the outer pipe.
[0014] Furthermore, the top surface of the annular plate is provided with multiple equally spaced toothed grooves in a ring shape, and a brake rod is provided above the annular plate that is hinged to the annular water tank. The lower end of the brake rod is in sliding contact with the top surface of the annular plate.
[0015] Furthermore, the water supply component includes a connecting pipe that is fixedly connected to the annular water tank, and a sleeve that is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting pipe. The sleeve cavity is connected to the corresponding delivery cavity, and sealing ring seats are rotatably connected to both ends of the inner wall of the sleeve. The sealing ring seats are fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the outer pipe.
[0016] Furthermore, the rotating platform consists of two rotating plates with an annular structure.

[0017] Furthermore, the top surface of the rotating platform is provided with multiple guide grooves, which are distributed in a ring at equal intervals and are inclined.
[0018] Furthermore, the top surface of the inner tube extends through the outer tube and above the intake fan blade, and an exhaust fan blade is provided below the inner tube, which is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the rotary table.
[0019] Another objective of this invention is to provide a convenient food ingredient processing technology, the purpose of which is to keep the ingredients evenly scattered and to uniformly and equally humidify the scattered ingredients.
[0020] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a convenient food ingredient processing technology, comprising the following steps:
[0021] S1. The energy-saving unit drives the rotor to rotate, while the external water supply equipment supplies water to the water turbine drive mechanism.
[0022] S2. The fan blades rotate to compress the outside air and send it into the upper fine hole. The water wheel drive mechanism drives some water into the lower fine hole. Then the water flows into the upper fine hole, and the airflow drives the water mist of the ring atomizer to spray into the grinding chamber.
[0023] S3. Place the raw materials for the convenience food into the hopper. When the raw materials enter the grinding chamber, the rotating table rotates and sprays water mist to evenly cover the raw materials. Then, the rotor and stator work together to finely grind the raw materials. The ground raw materials are discharged through the outlet.
[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] 1. As water flows through the water turbine drive mechanism, it drives the conveying pipe to rotate. The fan blades rotate, compressing the outside air and delivering airflow into the rotating table. Some water enters the annular atomizer, and the airflow carries the water mist out. At the same time, the rotating table rotates and radially scatters the raw materials, so that the water mist evenly humidifies the falling materials, significantly reducing the friction between the materials. This not only greatly improves grinding efficiency and fineness, but also effectively suppresses the temperature rise of the grinding chamber caused by frictional heat generation during the grinding process. Meanwhile, another part of the water flows through the spiral heat dissipation pipe, absorbing the heat emitted by the motor through heat conduction, achieving active cooling of the energy-saving motor and improving energy saving and emission reduction effects.
[0026] 2. By creating a height difference between the guide channels and the top surface of the rotating platform, the raw material gains additional acceleration due to the change in potential energy caused by the drop. Furthermore, the different inclination angles of adjacent guide channels result in varying projection angles and intensities of the raw material as it passes through different channels. This gradient design causes the raw material to form a staggered parabolic trajectory in space, further improving the uniformity of mixing between the water mist and the raw material, ensuring that each batch of raw material receives equal humidification treatment.
[0027] 3. The rotation of the delivery pipe drives the exhaust fan blades, which expel the heat accumulated in the grinding chamber through the inner tube. This, combined with the airflow injected into the grinding chamber through the fine orifices, achieves directional airflow within the grinding chamber, further enhancing the heat dissipation and cooling effect. Utilizing a single water source for multiple uses enables multi-directional heat dissipation and cooling, effectively reducing equipment energy consumption. Attached Figure Description

[0040] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0041] Example 1, referring to Figures 1-8 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides an energy-saving grinding and processing equipment for processing convenient food raw materials. It includes a colloid mill body 1, which includes a hopper and grinding components. The colloid mill body 1 also includes an energy-saving unit 12. A conveying pipe 2 is vertically rotatably arranged inside the hopper. The conveying pipe 2 includes an outer pipe 21 and an inner pipe 22 sleeved inside the outer pipe 21. Two partitions are fixedly connected between the inner pipe 22 and the outer pipe 21. The partitions cooperate with the outer pipe 21 and the inner pipe 22 to form two conveying chambers 23. An inlet fan blade 5 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the outer wall of the outer pipe 21. A water turbine drive mechanism 6 is provided on the lower side of the inlet fan blade 5. The water turbine drive mechanism 6 is used to drive the conveying pipe 2 to rotate. A water supply component 7 is connected between the water turbine drive mechanism 6 and the outer pipe 21. A water mist spraying unit 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the outer pipe 21.
[0042] The water mist spraying unit 8 includes a rotating platform 81 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer tube 21. The rotating platform 81 is equipped with a water mist system. The water mist system includes two annular grooves 82 opened on the inner wall of the rotating platform 81, and a plurality of fine holes 83 opened in the rotating platform 81. One end of the fine hole 83 is connected to the corresponding annular groove 82. The other end of the upper fine hole 83 passes through the rotating platform 81. The other end of the lower fine hole 83 is equipped with an annular atomizer 84. The annular atomizer 84 is disposed on the inner wall of the upper fine hole 83.
[0043] One of the conveying chambers 23 is connected at both ends to the inlet fan blade 5 and the upper annular groove 82, respectively, and the other conveying chamber 23 is connected at both ends to the water supply component 7 and the lower annular groove 82, respectively.
[0044] Specifically, an external water supply device supplies water to the water turbine drive mechanism 6. When the water flows through the water turbine drive mechanism 6, it drives the conveying pipe 2 to rotate. The fan blade 5 rotates to compress the outside air and send it into one of the conveying chambers 23. The water then flows through the annular groove 82 on the upper side of the rotary table 81 to the fine hole 83 connected to it. Some of the water in the water turbine drive mechanism 6 enters another conveying chamber 23 through the water supply component 7. The water then flows through the annular groove 82 on the lower side of the rotary table 81 to the fine hole 83 connected to it. The water in the lower fine hole 83 continues to flow to the annular atomizer 84. The airflow drives the water mist to spray out. Under the rotation of the rotary table 81, the falling raw materials are evenly sprayed, so that all raw materials have the same wettability, which improves the grinding effect and reduces the heat generation of the colloid mill body 1 and the wear of the grinding equipment.
[0045] Understandably, referring to Figure 8 The upper and lower sides have the same number of fine holes 83, all distributed in a ring at equal intervals. Water mist is sprayed out through multiple evenly distributed fine holes 83. Under the rotation of the rotary table 81, the fine water mist uniformly covers the falling raw material in a 360-degree ring, ensuring that each piece of raw material absorbs an equal amount of moisture, achieving precise control of humidity. When the raw material pretreated with water mist enters the colloid mill body 1 for grinding, the friction between materials is significantly reduced, which not only greatly improves grinding efficiency and fineness, but also effectively suppresses the temperature rise of the colloid mill body 1 caused by frictional heat during grinding, reduces wear on key components of the equipment, and significantly extends the service life of the grinding equipment.
[0046] Reference Figure 5 The energy-saving unit 12 includes a protective cover 121, an energy-saving motor 122 is installed inside the protective cover 121, and a spiral heat dissipation pipe 123 is wound around the outer wall of the energy-saving motor 122.
[0047] Specifically, the energy-saving motor 122 can operate with higher efficiency and reduce energy consumption in the process of converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. The spiral heat dissipation pipe 123 is a metal copper pipe, and the two ends of the spiral heat dissipation pipe 123 extend to the outside through the protective cover 121. The spiral heat dissipation pipe 123 can absorb the heat on the surface of the energy-saving motor 122 and dissipate the heat to the outside, thereby cooling and dissipating the energy-saving motor 122, further reducing the energy consumption of the energy-saving motor 122, and ensuring the stable operation of the energy-saving motor 122.
[0048] Reference Figure 2 Both ends of the outer wall of the outer tube 21 are movably fitted with support frames 3. The lower support frame 3 abuts against the inner wall of the hopper, and the upper support frame 3 is hinged to a clamp 4 at its end. The clamp 4 is fixedly installed at the upper port of the hopper.
[0049] Specifically, the clamp 4 includes a U-shaped seat with a bolt threaded on one side. The cavity of the U-shaped seat is fitted onto the upper end of the hopper. By tightening the bolt, the support frame 3 is fixed on the hopper, thereby limiting the rotation of the conveying pipe 2.
[0050] Understandably, a bearing is connected between the support frame 3 and the outer wall of the outer tube 21. The bearing improves the smoothness of the rotation of the conveying tube 2 and reduces the generation of noise.
[0051] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The water turbine drive mechanism 6 includes an annular water tank 61 fixedly installed on the upper support frame 3. A water turbine component 64 is rotatably connected inside the annular water tank 61. An inlet pipe 62 and an outlet pipe 63 are fixedly connected to the annular water tank 61. The other end of the inlet pipe 62 is connected to an external water supply device, and the other end of the outlet pipe 63 is connected to a spiral heat dissipation pipe 123. An annular cavity is opened on the inner side wall of the annular water tank 61. An annular plate 9 is provided in the annular cavity. The outer wall of the annular plate 9 is connected and fixed to the inner wall of the water turbine component 64. The inner wall of the annular plate 9 is connected and fixed to the outer wall of the outer pipe 21.
[0052] Specifically, the external water supply equipment supplies water to the annular water tank 61 through the inlet pipe 62. The water flow drives the water turbine 64 to rotate, and the water turbine 64 drives the conveying pipe 2 to rotate synchronously through the annular plate 9. At this time, the fan blades 5 fixed to the top of the conveying pipe 2 rotate accordingly, drawing outside air into one of the conveying chambers 23. After being pressurized in the conveying chamber 23, the air is distributed to each fine hole 83 through the annular groove 82 on the upper side of the rotating table 81, and is ejected at high speed from the outer port of the fine hole 83, forming an airflow channel. At the same time, part of the water flow in the water turbine drive mechanism 6 enters another conveying chamber 23 through the water supply component 7, passes through the lower annular groove 82, the fine hole 83 and the annular atomizer 84, and finally merges with the air in the upper fine hole 83. The airflow drives the water mist to be ejected at an accelerated speed, achieving precise humidification of the falling raw materials.
[0053] It should be noted that the external water supply equipment can be purified tap water from the city's pipe network or pure water stored in a high-level water tank. By using the water pressure of the existing water supply equipment to drive the water flow and rotate the water turbine 64, it is possible to avoid using additional power components, thereby increasing the wettability of the raw materials while saving energy consumption.
[0054] In this system, after driving the water turbine 64 within the annular water tank 61, the water flows along the outlet pipe 63 into the spiral heat dissipation pipe 123. The water flow quickly carries away the heat absorbed by the spiral heat dissipation pipe 123, forming a highly efficient heat exchange structure. This design not only avoids high-load operation of the energy-saving motor 122 in high-temperature environments but also significantly improves its operational stability and reduces energy consumption by optimizing the operating temperature of the energy-saving motor 122. The water, after heat exchange, is finally discharged from the equipment, forming a closed-loop system that integrates power drive and heat dissipation functions.
[0055] In addition, both the inlet pipe 62 and the outlet pipe 63 are equipped with switch valves. The switch valve of the inlet pipe 62 is used to control the opening and closing of the water flow path, and the switch valve of the outlet pipe 63 is used to regulate the water flow pressure entering the water supply component 7, thereby controlling the amount of water mist sprayed and adjusting the humidity according to different raw materials.
[0056] Reference Figure 7 The top surface of the annular plate 9 has multiple equally spaced grooves 91. A brake rod 10 is provided above the annular plate 9 and is hinged to the annular water tank 61. The lower end of the brake rod 10 is in sliding contact with the top surface of the annular plate 9.
[0057] Specifically, the brake lever 10 is inclined, and the annular plate 9 rotates counterclockwise. Figure 7 When viewed from above, the brake lever 10 slides against the surface of the annular plate 9. When the annular plate 9 rotates clockwise, the lower end of the brake lever 10 engages with the tooth groove 91. This mechanical method achieves unidirectional restriction of the rotation direction of the water turbine component 64, ensuring that the delivery pipe 2 always maintains a stable counterclockwise rotation direction during fluctuations in external water supply pressure or during equipment start-up and shutdown. This avoids uneven water mist spraying or component wear caused by reverse rotation, thus improving the reliability of equipment operation.
[0058] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 6 The water supply component 7 includes a connecting pipe 71 that is fixedly connected to the annular water tank 61. The other end of the connecting pipe 71 is fixedly connected to a sleeve 72. The cavity of the sleeve 72 is connected to the corresponding delivery cavity 23. Both ends of the inner wall of the sleeve 72 are rotatably connected to a sealing ring seat 73, which is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the outer pipe 21.
[0059] Specifically, the water flow within the annular water tank 61 is divided into two paths: the main flow goes through the outlet pipe 63 to the spiral heat dissipation pipe 123, while the branch flows through the connecting pipe 71 into the sleeve 72. The outer pipe 21 has through holes corresponding to the cavity of the sleeve 72, forming a water flow path. When the delivery pipe 2 rotates, the sealing ring seat 73 ensures a dynamic seal between the sleeve 72 and the outer pipe 21, preventing leakage. Under pressure, the water in the sleeve 72 enters another delivery chamber 23 through the through holes and flows downwards along the delivery chamber 23 to the rotating platform 81. Inside the rotating platform 81, the water first enters the lower annular groove 82, then flows upwards through the fine holes 83 to the annular atomizer 84, where it mixes with compressed air from the other delivery chamber 23 in the upper fine holes 83, forming a uniform water mist spray structure. This design achieves coordinated operation of the water turbine drive and water mist supply, organically combining the power system and humidification system through ingenious fluid path planning.
[0060] It should be noted that, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6 The water turbine component 64 consists of a circular ring and blades evenly distributed on the outer wall of the ring. The inner wall of the ring is sealed to the annular water tank 61 by a sealing ring. At the same time, both ends of the sleeve 72 are also sealed to the corresponding sealing ring seats 73 by sealing rings. The sealing rings not only prevent water from overflowing, but also reduce the rotational resistance of the water turbine component 64 and the conveying pipe 2.
[0061] Example 2, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the rotating table 81 is composed of two rotating plates with an annular structure. The top surface of the rotating plate is a convex frustum shape, the bottom surface of the rotating plate is a concave frustum shape, the arc side of the rotating plate is inclined, and the diameter of the upper rotating plate is larger than the diameter of the lower rotating plate.
[0062] Specifically, when the raw material falls from the hopper onto the upper rotating plate, the rotation of the upper rotating plate triggers a centrifugal acceleration mechanism. The frustum-shaped convex top surface design causes the raw material to accelerate radially during rotation, ultimately being thrown to the outer circumference of the rotating table 81. This motion trajectory achieves two technical effects: First, the uniformly scattered raw material in an umbrella shape forms a large diffusion surface, significantly increasing the contact area with the water mist. Since the water mist is uniformly sprayed from the fine holes 83 on the side of the rotating table 81, the two are fully mixed during dynamic motion, ensuring consistent wettability of the raw material. Second, the inclined arc side and the stepped structure, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, guide the scattered raw material directly into the gap between the rotor and stator in the grinding chamber. This design avoids the problem of raw material accumulating in the middle of the grinding chamber in traditional equipment, ensuring uniform force on the material within the grinding chamber, eliminating particle size unevenness caused by local differences in grinding force, and improving the stability of finished product quality.
[0063] Furthermore, the outer port of the upper fine hole 83 is designed in the shape of a frustum, precisely positioned on the arc-shaped side of the rotating plate, forming a 90° perpendicular intersection with the trajectory of the falling material. During the high-speed rotation of the rotating platform 81, water mist is sprayed out in an umbrella-like pattern within the frustum-shaped cavity, precisely covering the path of the material propelled by centrifugal force. This spatial structure design ensures three-dimensional cross-contact between the water mist and the falling material, allowing each particle of material to be evenly coated during the scattering process, effectively avoiding humidification blind spots and greatly improving the mixing efficiency and uniformity of the material and water mist.
[0064] Reference Figure 9 The top surface of the rotating platform 81 is provided with multiple guide grooves 85, which are distributed in a ring at equal intervals and are inclined.
[0065] Specifically, the design of the guide channel 85 achieves refined control of raw material dispersion and water mist mixing through dual structural optimization: First, the guide channel 85 and the top surface of the rotating platform 81 form a height difference. When the raw material moves along the top surface of the rotating platform 81, it gains additional acceleration due to the potential energy change caused by the drop. Under the combined action of centrifugal force and gravity, the raw material is thrown out with different initial velocities when leaving the port of the guide channel 85, forming a wider distribution range and effectively improving the uniformity of dispersion; Second, along the rotation direction of the rotating platform 81, the inclination angle of adjacent guide channels 85 increases sequentially. Combined with the inclined arc side of the rotating plate, the projection angle and force of the raw material vary when passing through different guide channels 85. This gradient design causes the raw material to form an interlaced parabolic trajectory in space, fully contacting the water mist sprayed from the fine holes 83 in multiple dimensions, further improving the uniformity of mixing between the water mist and the raw material, and ensuring that each portion of raw material receives equal humidification treatment. The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.
[0066] Among them, reference Figure 10 The annular atomizer 84 includes an annular cavity pipe. Multiple atomizing nozzles are arranged in an annular pattern at equal intervals on one side of the annular cavity pipe facing the outer circumference of the rotating table 81. The annular cavity pipe is located on the inner wall of the upper fine hole 83 and communicates with the lower fine hole 83.
[0067] Example 3, referring to Figure 3 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that the top surface of the inner tube 22 extends through the outer tube 21 and extends above the intake fan blade 5. An exhaust fan blade 11 is provided below the inner tube 22 and is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the rotary table 81.
[0068] Specifically, the exhaust fan blade 11 and the inner tube 22 form a cooperative heat dissipation mechanism. When the exhaust fan blade 11 rotates counterclockwise ( Figure 3When viewed from above, a negative pressure suction force is formed in the grinding chamber, actively drawing out the high-temperature gas generated by grinding. This hot airflow is transmitted upward through the hollow cavity of the inner tube 22. Since the top surface of the inner tube 22 extends above the inlet fan blade 5 and is located in the high position area of the equipment, the hot airflow can be quickly discharged outside the equipment by means of the principle of natural rise of hot air and the forced convection effect of the exhaust fan blade 11.
[0069] This design effectively maintains a stable temperature within the grinding chamber, preventing problems such as gelatinization and denaturation of raw materials due to heat accumulation. Through active heat dissipation, it not only ensures the processing quality of food raw materials but also reduces wear and tear on the colloid mill's main body components due to high temperatures, extending the equipment's lifespan and achieving a dual improvement in processing efficiency and product quality. The remaining structure is the same as in Example 2.
[0070] Based on embodiments 1-3, the working principle of the present invention is as follows: the external water supply equipment supplies water to the annular water tank 61 through the water inlet pipe 62, the water flow drives the water turbine component 64 to rotate, and the water turbine component 64 drives the delivery pipe 2 to rotate through the annular plate 9. When the conveying pipe 2 rotates, the top fan blades 5 compress outside air and send it into one of the conveying chambers 23. The air is sprayed out through the upper annular groove 82 and fine holes 83 in the rotating table 81. At the same time, some water in the annular water tank 61 flows through the connecting pipe 71 and the sleeve 72 into another conveying chamber 23. Then, it mixes with the air through the lower annular groove 82, fine holes 83, and annular atomizer 84 to form a rapidly moving water mist. Under the rotation of the rotating table 81, the water mist is evenly sprayed onto the raw material, increasing its wettability and reducing grinding heat and equipment wear. The raw material falls from the hopper onto the upper rotating plate. Under the centrifugal force of its rotation, it is accelerated and thrown outward along the top surface of the frustum. After being fully mixed with the water mist, it falls into the gap between the rotor and stator of the grinding chamber through the inclined arc side, avoiding the accumulation of raw material and ensuring uniform grinding.
