Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solid beverage preparation, specifically a solid beverage ingredient mixing device and method. Background Technology

[0002] Solid beverages refer to solid products made primarily from sugar, milk and dairy products, eggs or egg products, fruit juice or edible plant extracts, with the addition of appropriate excipients or food additives. The moisture content per 100 grams of the finished product is no more than 5 grams. They are in the form of powder, granules or blocks. In the solid beverage granule processing process, filtering and crushing the solid granules is a very important step.

[0003] Currently, solid beverage particle filtration and pulverizing equipment generally uses uniform pulverizing teeth for pulverization. Because the gap size of the pulverizing equipment is the same, and the raw materials need to be mixed and concentrated in the solid beverage preparation process, the raw materials need to be pulverized thoroughly. If uniform pulverization is used, multiple filtrations are required to screen the pulverized raw materials to meet the standards. This requires manual screening and pulverization multiple times, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] In summary, the present invention provides a mixing device and method for solid beverages to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a mixing device and method for solid beverages, which solves the problems in the prior art that require multiple filtrations and screening of pulverized raw materials to meet standards, necessitating repeated manual screening and pulverization.

[0006] A mixing device and method for a solid beverage includes a primary crushing cylinder and a secondary crushing cylinder, which are installed vertically. A base is installed at the bottom of the secondary crushing cylinder. An opening is formed at the bottom of the primary crushing cylinder, and a crushing cone is disposed inside. The top of the secondary crushing cylinder is open. A grinding inner cylinder, which is annular in structure, is installed on the inner wall of the secondary crushing cylinder. Multiple grinding grooves are formed inside the grinding inner cylinder, and a grinding column is disposed inside. Multiple grinding rollers are mounted on the surface of the grinding column, and a drive shaft is mounted on the grinding column. One end of the drive shaft passes through the middle of the grinding column and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the crushing cone. A guide shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the crushing cone. A drive motor is installed in the base, and one end of the drive shaft passes through the bottom of the grinding column and is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor. Suction pipes are installed on both sides of the secondary crushing cylinder, and a negative pressure suction pipe is installed on the side wall of the secondary crushing cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, the primary crushing cylinder is provided with a crushing inner groove, the shape of which matches the crushing cone, and multiple crushing protrusions are installed at equal intervals on the inner wall of the crushing inner groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the drive shaft is fixedly connected to the grinding column, and a scraper is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the drive shaft. The scraper is located at the bottom of the grinding column and is movably located at the bottom of the fine grinding cylinder.

[0009] Furthermore, the crushing cone is an inverted cone-shaped structure, and the crushing cone is movably disposed inside the primary crushing cylinder, with a gap between it and the inner wall of the crushing inner groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the inlets of the suction pipe are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the fine crushing cylinder, and the inlets of the suction pipe penetrate the side wall of the fine crushing cylinder and communicate with the interior of the fine crushing cylinder.

[0011] Furthermore, the grinding column has multiple annular outer grooves, and the grinding rollers are arranged in an array along the outer wall of the annular outer grooves. The upper and lower ends of the grinding rollers are rotatably connected to the annular outer grooves through positioning shafts.

[0012] Furthermore, the grinding roller is in contact with the grinding inner groove, and the grinding inner groove is equidistantly arranged along the axial direction of the grinding inner cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, one end of the negative pressure extraction pipe is installed on the side wall of the fine crushing cylinder near the end of the primary crushing cylinder. The other end of the negative pressure extraction pipe penetrates the inner wall of the fine crushing cylinder and extends into the fine crushing cylinder. A filter cover is installed inside the fine crushing cylinder, and the filter cover covers the opening of the negative pressure extraction pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the primary crushing cylinder is provided with an opening, and a guide shaft frame is installed at the top opening of the primary crushing cylinder, with one end of the guide shaft rotatably connected to the guide shaft frame.

[0015] A dispensing method for a solid beverage dispensing device includes the following steps: Step 1: Crush the raw materials. Put the raw materials into the primary crushing cylinder. Start the drive motor at the bottom of the machine base to drive the crushing cone and grinding column to rotate and crush the raw materials. Step 2: The crushing cone inside the primary crushing cylinder crushes the raw material into a preliminary crushing process. After being crushed by the crushing protrusions, the material falls directly into the fine crushing cylinder. Step 3: The raw materials that have been initially crushed enter the fine crushing cylinder and are ground again by the grinding rollers and the inner grinding cylinder. The scraper at the bottom sends the material to the inlet of the suction pipe and then sucks it in through the negative pressure suction pipe. A negative pressure is formed inside the fine crushing cylinder. The heavier raw materials after crushing fall directly into the fine crushing cylinder through the other inlet of the suction pipe. The materials that have reached the crushing standard are extracted through the negative pressure suction pipe. Step 4: Mix the pulverized raw materials with purified water at a ratio of 12-17 to obtain the extract; Step 5: After concentrating the extract using a vacuum concentrator, dry it to obtain solid primer powder.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention achieves graded crushing of raw materials by setting up primary crushing cylinders and fine crushing cylinders distributed vertically. In the primary crushing stage, the input raw materials are initially crushed by crushing with the cooperation of an inverted conical crushing cone and the inner wall crushing protrusions. The crushed material falls directly into the fine crushing cylinder through the bottom opening. In the fine crushing stage, the grinding column driven by the drive shaft drives the surface grinding roller to rotate, forming multiple grinding pairs with the grinding groove of the grinding inner cylinder, which refines the initially crushed material and effectively improves the uniformity of crushing.

[0017] 2. This invention uses a drive motor within the machine base to synchronously drive the crushing cone and grinding column to rotate, simplifying the transmission structure while ensuring a continuous and efficient crushing process. The scraper at the bottom of the fine crushing cylinder rotates with the drive shaft, pushing the ground material to the lower inlet of the suction pipe. Combined with the negative pressure environment created inside the fine crushing cylinder by the negative pressure extraction pipe, fine powder that meets the crushing standard is extracted through the filter cover via the negative pressure extraction pipe. Heavier particles that do not meet the standard flow back into the fine crushing cylinder through the upper inlet of the suction pipe for further grinding, achieving cyclic crushing and screening of the material. This automatic process completely crushes the raw materials without manual intervention, significantly improving the automation level and production efficiency of pre-processing, and effectively solving the problem of multiple filtration and screening required by traditional crushing devices.
