Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and in particular to food processing equipment for mixing multiple ingredients. Background Art

[0002] As the food industry develops, consumer demand for food is becoming increasingly diverse and personalized. The early pursuit of simple processed foods made with a single ingredient has gradually shifted to a preference for foods that combine multiple ingredients, are nutritious, and have unique flavors. This shift in demand has driven continuous innovation in the food processing industry, leading to the emergence of multi-ingredient food processing equipment.

[0003] In actual food processing scenarios, when it comes to mixing and stirring multiple paste-like ingredients, many problems arise. Common paste-like ingredients, such as glutinous rice paste, red bean paste, and jam, have strong viscosity. During the stirring process, these pastes will inevitably adhere to the inner walls of the processing equipment in large quantities. In order to meet the production needs of a certain scale, general food processing equipment often has a large capacity and can accommodate more mixtures. Although this has certain advantages in production efficiency, it brings great trouble to the subsequent cleaning work. Due to the large area and complex structure of the inner wall of the equipment, the adhered paste will adhere tightly to it, and it is difficult to completely remove it by simple rinsing. Workers often need to spend a lot of time and energy. The paste ingredients that remain for a long time are also prone to breeding bacteria, posing a serious threat to food safety. Once these bacteria are mixed into the subsequently processed food, they may cause food safety accidents and harm the health of consumers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem in the prior art that when multiple paste-like ingredients are mixed and stirred, the pastes will adhere to the inner wall of the processing equipment, but general processing equipment can accommodate more mixtures, which makes the subsequent cleaning steps more cumbersome. A food processing equipment for mixing multiple ingredients is proposed.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: The transmission mechanism that this invention relates to is that this invention relates to a food processing device for mixing multiple ingredients, comprises a fixed cover plate and a cylinder body, the top of the fixed cover plate is fixedly connected to an output motor, the output end of the output motor is fixedly connected to a ratchet, and one end of the ratchet is fixedly connected to a support rod away from the output motor, and a rack is provided on the side of the support rod, and the rack is meshed with a fixed gear, and one end of the fixed gear is fixedly connected to a worm gear away from a sleeve shell, and the worm gear is meshed with a worm, and one end of the worm is rotatably connected to the sleeve shell, and the inner wall of the sleeve shell is fixedly connected to the built-in motor, the output end of the built-in motor is fixedly connected to the worm gear, and a stirring blade is provided on the side of the sleeve shell, and the bottom of the fixed cover plate is rotatably connected to a ring, and a fixed block is fixedly connected on the inner wall of the ring ring, and one end of the fixed block away from the ring ring is rotatably connected to a pawl, a damping rod is provided on one side of the ratchet, and the other end of the damping rod is fixedly connected to the ring ring, and a cleaning rod is provided on the side of the ring ring away from the fixed cover plate.

[0006] The above technical solution further includes: The support rod has a circular groove at its base, and the barrel has a protrusion inside for insertion into the groove. The protrusion is located at the bottom of the barrel. The circular groove 7 at the bottom of the support rod 6 cooperates with the protrusion on the bottom of the barrel, providing a stable support base for the support rod 6. During operation, especially during stirring and cleaning operations, this effectively prevents the support rod 6 from shaking or shifting, ensuring the stability of the entire stirring and cleaning structure, thereby guaranteeing uniform food processing and reliable cleaning results.

[0007] The side surface of the cylinder is provided with a protrusion, and the protrusion is used for plugging the card block.

[0008] The cylinder body features a side opening with a protective cap rotatably connected to it. A valve is also provided on the side of the cylinder body. This opening facilitates the addition of ingredients, enabling a variety of ingredients to be quickly and accurately introduced into the cylinder. The protective cap rotatably connected to the opening effectively prevents splashing of ingredients during processing, ensuring a hygienic and safe operating environment. The valve precisely controls the amount of ingredients injected, preventing over- or under-injection at once and helping to improve the precision and quality of food processing.

[0009] One side of the ring is provided with multiple groups of cleaning rods for cleaning the inner wall of the cylinder, and the surfaces of the cleaning rods are provided with a cleaning layer.

[0010] The fixed gear is rotatably connected to the casing, the worm gear is rotatably connected to the casing, and the end of the worm, remote from the internal motor, is rotatably connected to the casing. This design of the fixed gear, worm gear, worm, and casing rotatably connected creates a stable and precise transmission system. The internal motor drives the worm, which, through the worm gear and fixed gear, precisely controls the rise and fall of the casing. This precise transmission ensures that the stirring blades stir the ingredients at different heights, resulting in a more even mixing of the ingredients.

[0011] The housing is slidably connected to the support rod, allowing the housing to move smoothly up and down along the support rod. This design ensures that the stirring blades can work properly at different heights, achieving sufficient stirring of ingredients at different levels in the cylinder and avoiding local uneven stirring.

[0012] The sleeve is provided with a hole inside for being sleeved on the outside of the support rod.

[0013] The casing is equipped with multiple sets of stirring blades on the side, which can stir the ingredients from multiple angles. During the stirring process, the stirring blades in different positions can generate stirring forces with different directions and strengths, causing the ingredients to form complex flow paths within the cylinder, thereby achieving more thorough mixing. Compared with a single set of stirring blades, multiple sets of stirring blades can greatly improve stirring efficiency and shorten food processing time. At the same time, they can also ensure mixing uniformity and improve food quality and taste.

[0014] The bottom of the cylinder is provided with supporting legs, which provide a stable support for the entire device. The supporting legs separate the cylinder from the ground at a certain distance, which not only prevents the device from being damaged by factors such as ground moisture, but also facilitates cleaning and maintenance work at the bottom of the device.

[0015] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 10. In this invention, the output motor drives the ratchet, cleverly utilizing the unique coordination between the ratchet and the pawl. When cleaning is required, the output motor is rotated in the opposite direction, and the pawl drives the ring to rotate, thereby driving the cleaning rod to frictionally clean the inner wall of the cylinder. This design can accurately and efficiently remove paste-like ingredients adhering to the inner wall of the cylinder. Compared with traditional manual cleaning or simple flushing methods, it greatly improves cleaning efficiency, effectively solves the tedious post-cleaning problem caused by sticky materials, reduces labor costs and equipment downtime, and ensures the continued efficient operation of the equipment.

[0016] 11. During the stirring process, the present invention controls the rise and fall of the shell through the built-in motor, so that the stirring blades can fully stir the ingredients on different layers; and when cleaning is required, it is only necessary to adjust the rotation direction of the output motor to easily switch to the cleaning mode. This integrated design not only saves equipment space, but also reduces the cost of additional cleaning devices. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] The working principle of a food processing device for mixing multiple ingredients in the present invention is that when the paste is stirred, the output motor 3 is controlled to rotate, and the rotation of the output motor 3 drives the ratchet 22 to rotate. The counterclockwise rotation of the ratchet 22 squeezes the pawl 21. As the arc-shaped surface on the side of the ratchet 22 gradually bulges outward, the pawl 21 is also expanded outward accordingly. When the ratchet 22 continues to rotate to the next tooth, the convex width of the arc-shaped surface on the far left is narrower than the subsequent ones, so when the ratchet 22 continues to rotate, it will continue to push the pawl 21. When the pawl 21 reaches the next tooth, it will be squeezed by the damping rod 23, controlling the built-in motor 13 to rotate. The rotation of the built-in motor 13 drives the worm 12 to rotate, and the worm 12 engages with the worm wheel 14 to drive the fixed gear 15 to rotate The fixed gear 15 meshes with the rack 18 on the side of the support rod 16, causing the housing 10 to rise and controlling the built-in motor 13 to rotate forward and reverse. When the housing 10 moves to the two end positions of the support rod 16, the built-in motor 13 rotates forward and reverse. At this time, the support rod 16 is driven to rotate under the rotation of the output motor 3. When the output motor 3 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, the ratchet 22 is stuck at the narrowest edge of its side width, and the ratchet 22 continues to rotate. The pawl 21 pushes the ring 101 to rotate at the bottom of the fixed cover 1. A cleaning rod 19 is provided at one end of the ring 101 away from the fixed cover 1. The cleaning rod 19 rubs the inner wall of the cylinder 2, thereby achieving the effect of cleaning the inner wall of the cylinder 2. Clockwise rotation can achieve stirring inside it.
