Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Example:

[0031] Please see the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 This invention provides an apparatus for making chocolate lava cake, such as... Figure 1As shown, the system includes a base 1, with a first mixing tank 2 movably connected to one side of the top of the base 1. The base 1 is L-shaped, and the first mixing tank 2 is movably connected to its left side via two columns. A second mixing tank 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the first mixing tank 2. Using two mixing tanks allows for the storage of mixed raw materials for later use, facilitating subsequent mixing. A quantitative discharge mechanism 4 is located at the bottom of the first mixing tank 2, away from the second mixing tank 3, for quantitative discharge of the mixed raw materials. An inner cylinder 5 is movably connected inside the first mixing tank 2, allowing it to move left and right within the tank to improve mixing efficiency. A protective cover 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the first mixing tank 2 away from the inner cylinder 5 for protection. A geared motor 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the protective cover 6. The drive end of the geared motor 7 extends into the interior of the protective cover 6 and is fixedly connected to a first rotating rod 8. The end of the first rotating rod 8 extends into the interior of the inner cylinder 5 and is fixedly connected to a first stirring frame 9 on its outer diameter. The geared motor 7 drives the first rotating rod 8 to rotate, thereby driving the first stirring frame 9 to rotate, thus completing the mixing of the raw materials. A second rotating rod 13 is movably connected to the upper interior of the protective cover 6. The left end of the second rotating rod 13 extends into the interior of the second mixing tank 3 and is fixedly connected to a second stirring frame 14 on its outer diameter. The rotation of the second stirring frame 14 completes the mixing of the raw materials in the second mixing tank 3. The materials work separately and will not cause mixing contamination.

[0032] In this embodiment, the quantitative discharging mechanism 4 includes a discharge pipe 401 for receiving raw materials from the inner cylinder 5. The discharge pipe 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom left side of the first mixing tank 2. A movable block 402 is movably connected inside the discharge pipe 401, and the movable block 402 can move left and right inside the discharge pipe 401. A discharge channel 403 is provided in the middle of the movable block 402 for discharging raw materials. A fixed platform 407 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inside of the discharge pipe 401 for connection and fixation. A hollow cylinder also exists in the middle of the fixed platform 407, and the outer wall of the hollow cylinder is attached to... The movable block 402 is attached to the inner wall of the middle part. The lower outer diameter of the movable block 402 is provided with an external thread 404. An adjusting ring 405 is movably connected to the outer diameter of the left side of the discharge pipe 401. The inner end of the adjusting ring 405 is provided with an internal thread 406. The internal thread 406 is meshed with the inner end of the adjusting ring 405. By rotating the adjusting ring 405, the internal thread 406 can be rotated. Then, through the meshing transmission between the internal thread 406 and the external thread 404, the movable block 402 is moved, thereby changing the size of the space on the right side of the discharge pipe 401, which facilitates quantitative discharge.

[0033] Furthermore, guide rods 408 are fixedly connected to both sides of the right end of the fixed platform 407, and the ends of the guide rods 408 extend into the interior of the movable block 402, improving the movement stability of the movable block 402. A telescopic cylinder 409 is installed at the right end of the discharge pipe 401. The driving end of the telescopic cylinder 409 passes through the top wall of the discharge pipe 401 and is fixedly connected to a stop block 410. The telescopic cylinder 409 drives the stop block 410 to move, completing the blocking action at the interface of the second discharge pipe 23. A push rod 411 is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom end of the stop block 410. The end of the push rod 411 passes through the interior of the discharge channel 403 and is fixedly connected to a blocking block 412. When the stop block 410 moves, it will also drive the push rod 411 to move, thereby driving the blocking block 412 to move, thus opening the discharge channel 403 to facilitate discharge.

[0034] Specifically, by rotating the adjusting ring 405, the internal thread 406 can be rotated. Then, through the meshing transmission between the internal thread 406 and the external thread 404, the movable block 402 is moved, thereby changing the size of the right side space of the discharge pipe 401. After adjusting the right side space of the discharge pipe 401 to the required size, the switch valve in the second discharge pipe 23 is opened, allowing the mixed raw material to enter the right side space of the discharge pipe 401. Then, the electric cylinder 18 is started, which pushes the first mixing tank 2 to rotate, making the discharge pipe 401 tilted. Then, the telescopic cylinder 409 pushes the stop block 410 to move, which blocks the outlet of the second discharge pipe 23. At the same time, it drives the push rod 411 to push the blocking block 412 open, and the raw material is discharged along the discharge channel 403.

[0035] Furthermore, the first rotating rod 8 is fixedly connected to the outer diameter of the protective cover 6 with a driving wheel 10, and the inner upper side of the protective cover 6 is movably connected with a driven wheel 11. The outer diameters of the driving wheel 10 and the driven wheel 11 are connected by a transmission belt 12. The middle of the driven wheel 11 is fixedly connected to the second rotating rod 13. When the reduction motor 7 drives the first rotating rod 8 to rotate, it will also drive the driving wheel 10 to rotate. The driven wheel 11 will follow the rotation through the transmission belt 12, thereby driving the second rotating rod 13 to rotate, thus completing the stirring and mixing of the raw materials inside the second mixing tank 3.

[0036] Furthermore, both sides of the left end of the inner cylinder 5 are connected to the inner wall of the first mixing tank 2 by return springs 15. A chuck 16 is fixedly connected to the outer diameter of one side of the first rotating rod 8 and the right end of the inner cylinder 5. Several hemispherical protrusions 17 are fixedly connected to the inner end of the chuck 16. When the first rotating rod 8 rotates, it will also drive the chuck 16 to rotate. Through the tooth structure formed by the hemispherical protrusions 17 that are staggered between the chucks 16, in conjunction with the action of the return springs 15, the inner cylinder 5 can be driven to sway left and right, thereby improving the mixing effect of the raw materials.

[0037] Furthermore, an electric cylinder 18 is movably installed on the other side of the bottom of the base 1. The end of the electric cylinder 18 is movably connected to the right side of the bottom of the first mixing tank 2. The electric cylinder 18 lifts one end of the first mixing tank 2, thereby lifting the quantitative discharge mechanism 4 as well, which facilitates the discharge process after mixing.

[0038] Furthermore, a first feed inlet 19 is provided on the other side of the top of the first mixing tank 2, and a second feed inlet 20 is provided on the top of the second mixing tank 3. A control panel 21 is fixedly installed on the front end of the first mixing tank 2 for feeding raw materials.

[0039] Furthermore, the bottom left side of the second mixing tank 3 is connected to the interior of the first mixing tank 2 via the first discharge pipe 22, and the bottom left side of the first mixing tank 2 is connected to the interior of the quantitative discharge mechanism 4 via the second discharge pipe 23. Switch valves are installed inside both the first discharge pipe 22 and the second discharge pipe 23.
