Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mixer technology, specifically to an adaptive speed-regulating and variable-capacity food mixer. Background Technology

[0002] Food mixers are widely used in the food processing industry, primarily for mixing, stirring, and homogenizing food ingredients. Existing food mixers typically include a drive mechanism, a stirring rod, and a fixed-volume mixing tank. The rotating stirring rod drives the materials to circulate, thus completing the mixing process. To accommodate the processing needs of different types of food, some machines can adapt to materials with varying viscosities or different processing requirements by changing different types of stirring heads or adjusting the speed.

[0003] However, existing food mixers typically have a fixed mixing space. When there is a small amount of material to be mixed, the material tends to accumulate at the bottom or on the sides of the container, while the effective range of the mixing rod still covers the entire mixing container. This results in some mixing areas being unloaded, and the material circulation path being long. This not only reduces mixing efficiency but also easily leads to insufficient material agitation and poor mixing uniformity. When there is a large amount of material to be mixed, a larger mixing coverage area is required to ensure the overall mixing effect. Therefore, a fixed mixing range is difficult to meet the usage needs under different loading volumes.

[0004] Furthermore, the existing equipment typically employs a fixed mixing structure. The number of mixing rods, their installation positions, and the mixing radius are difficult to adjust based on material volume during use, resulting in the same mixing structure being used for materials of different volumes. When material volume changes, a mismatch between the mixing range and the actual material distribution can easily occur. This causes some mixing rods to participate in ineffective mixing, while some material fails to fully enter the effective mixing zone. This not only increases the drive load and energy consumption but also affects the mixing efficiency and quality for materials of different volumes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, an adaptive speed-regulating and variable-capacity food mixer is provided. By proposing a mixer that can automatically adjust the mixing space according to the material volume, the technical problems of existing food mixers being unable to synchronously adjust the mixing volume and mixing range according to different material capacities, resulting in low mixing efficiency, poor mixing uniformity, and insufficient equipment adaptability are solved.

[0006] To address the problems of existing technologies, this invention provides an adaptive speed-regulating and variable-capacity food mixer, comprising: a drive unit; a mixing module detachably mounted on the drive end of the drive unit, the mixing module having a main mixing rod and multiple auxiliary mixing rods detachably mounted on the main mixing rod; a mixing tank disposed directly below the mixing module; and a baffle module adjustable within the mixing tank, the baffle module having a baffle plate adjustable along the height of the mixing tank; the baffle plate is used to divide the interior of the mixing tank into mixing spaces of different volumes; the multiple auxiliary mixing rods can be selectively installed according to the position of the baffle plate; enabling the mixing module to adapt to mixing materials of different volumes.

[0007] Preferably, the outer wall of the main stirring rod is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves along the axial direction; the plurality of sliding grooves are evenly distributed along the circumference of the main stirring rod; the auxiliary stirring rod is provided with a connecting cylinder and a slider fixedly disposed in the connecting cylinder and capable of slidingly engaging with the sliding grooves; the connecting cylinder is coaxially sleeved and installed on the outside of the main stirring rod.

[0008] Preferably, the auxiliary stirring rod includes a first auxiliary stirring rod and a second auxiliary stirring rod; a plurality of the first auxiliary stirring rods and the second auxiliary stirring rods are staggered along the axial direction of the main stirring rod; the first auxiliary stirring rods and the second auxiliary stirring rods extend in different directions; the plurality of auxiliary stirring rods can be selectively installed according to the material capacity to change the effective stirring range of the stirring module.

[0009] Preferably, the baffle module is provided with a baffle plate that can seal the inside of the mixing tank and a flexible rubber ring coaxially fixed to the outer edge of the baffle plate; the flexible rubber ring elastically abuts against the inner wall of the mixing tank; the baffle plate can move along the height direction of the mixing tank to change the effective volume inside the mixing tank.

[0010] Preferably, the baffle module further includes a limiting unit capable of dynamically fixing the baffle plate inside the mixing tank; the limiting unit is provided in two sets, and the two sets of limiting units are fixedly disposed relative to each other on the upper surface of the baffle plate; the limiting unit is provided with a limiting plate capable of dynamically abutting against the inner wall of the mixing tank, a spring capable of continuously driving the limiting plate toward the inner wall of the mixing tank, and a drive plate capable of driving the limiting plate to retract.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting unit further includes a guide rod, a guide seat, and a limiting part for guiding the directional extension and retraction of the limiting plate; two guide rods are provided, the two guide rods are fixedly disposed on one side of the limiting plate, and the rod portions of the two guide rods pass through the guide seat and slide in cooperation with the guide seat; the drive plate is disposed across the two guide rods and is disposed near the middle of the guide rods; the spring is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the guide rods and its two ends abut against the drive plate and the guide seat respectively; the limiting part is fixedly disposed at the end of the guide rod.

[0012] Preferably, a rotation limiting ring is coaxially rotatably provided on the lower surface of the baffle plate; the rotation limiting ring can abut against the top of the auxiliary stirring rod installed on the main stirring rod; it is used to limit the displacement of the auxiliary stirring rod along the axial direction of the main stirring rod, so that the auxiliary stirring rod is always located below the baffle plate for stirring.

[0013] Preferably, the baffle module can adjust the position of the baffle plate according to the volume of the material to be stirred; the stirring module can adjust the number and height of the auxiliary stirring rods according to the position of the baffle plate; so that the stirring space and stirring range change synchronously to adapt to the stirring of materials of different volumes.

[0014] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are: 1.

[0026] To further understand the features, technical means, and specific objectives and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 8The image shows an adaptive speed-regulating and variable-capacity food mixer, comprising: a drive unit 1; a mixing module 2 detachably mounted on the drive end of the drive unit 1, the mixing module 2 having a main mixing rod 21 and multiple auxiliary mixing rods 22 detachably mounted on the main mixing rod 21; a mixing tank 3 positioned directly below the mixing module 2; and a baffle module 4 adjustable within the mixing tank 3, the baffle module 4 having a baffle plate 41 adjustable along the height of the mixing tank 3; the baffle plate 41 dividing the interior of the mixing tank 3 into mixing spaces of different volumes; the multiple auxiliary mixing rods 22 being selectively installed according to the position of the baffle plate 41; enabling the mixing module 2 to adapt to mixing materials of different volumes.

[0028] When it is necessary to stir food materials of different volumes, firstly, install the corresponding number of auxiliary stirring rods 22 according to the capacity of the material to be stirred to form the required stirring space. Then, take the baffle plate 41 and install it on the outside of the main stirring rod 21, and adjust it longitudinally to the preset height so that it is pressed onto the auxiliary stirring rod 22. Finally, drive the drive host 1 to drive the stirring module 2 to rotate, and finally achieve the purpose of efficient stirring of materials of different volumes.

[0029] By cooperating with the baffle module 4 and the detachable mixing module 2, the mixing space can be adjusted synchronously according to the material capacity, improving the mixing adaptability of materials of different volumes, while reducing the unloaded mixing area and improving mixing efficiency.

[0030] See Figure 8 As shown: the outer wall of the main stirring rod 21 is provided with a plurality of sliding grooves 211 extending through it along the axial direction; the plurality of sliding grooves 211 are evenly distributed around the circumference of the main stirring rod 21; the auxiliary stirring rod 22 is provided with a connecting cylinder 221 and a slider 222 fixedly disposed in the connecting cylinder 221 and capable of slidingly engaging with the sliding grooves 211; the connecting cylinder 221 is coaxially sleeved and installed on the outside of the main stirring rod 21.

[0031] When it is necessary to install the auxiliary stirring rod 22, simply put the auxiliary stirring rod 22 over the main stirring rod 21 and make the slider 222 on the auxiliary stirring rod 22 slide into the corresponding groove 211 to complete the installation; when it is necessary to adjust the position of the auxiliary stirring rod 22 or disassemble the auxiliary stirring rod 22, simply slide it along the direction of the groove 211 to complete the corresponding adjustment, thereby realizing the quick installation, replacement and disassembly of the auxiliary stirring rod 22.

[0032] The sliding fit between the chute 211 and the slider 222 makes the auxiliary stirring rod 22 easy to install and highly efficient to disassemble. The stirring structure can be quickly adjusted according to different stirring needs, improving the flexibility of equipment use.

[0033] See Figure 8 As shown: The auxiliary stirring rod 22 includes a first auxiliary stirring rod and a second auxiliary stirring rod; a plurality of the first auxiliary stirring rods and the second auxiliary stirring rods are staggered along the axial direction of the main stirring rod 21; the first auxiliary stirring rods and the second auxiliary stirring rods extend in different directions; the plurality of auxiliary stirring rods 22 can be selectively installed according to the material capacity to change the effective stirring range of the stirring module 2.

[0034] When it is necessary to stir materials of different capacities, the number and installation position of the first and second auxiliary stirring rods can be selected according to the actual stirring requirements. When the material is small, only some auxiliary stirring rods 22 need to be installed to complete the stirring. When the material is large, the number of auxiliary stirring rods 22 can be increased so that multiple auxiliary stirring rods 22 can expand the stirring range together, thereby adapting to the stirring requirements of materials of different capacities.

[0035] By combining the first and second stirring rods, the stirring range can be adjusted according to the material volume, improving the uniformity of stirring and avoiding energy waste caused by an excessively large stirring range.

[0036] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown: The baffle module 4 is provided with a baffle plate 41 that can seal the inside of the mixing tank 3 and a flexible rubber ring 42 that is coaxially fixed to the outer edge of the baffle plate 41; the flexible rubber ring 42 elastically abuts against the inner wall of the mixing tank 3; the baffle plate 41 can move along the height direction of the mixing tank 3 to change the effective volume inside the mixing tank 3.

[0037] When it is necessary to adjust the effective volume inside the mixing tank 3, simply drive the baffle plate 41 to move along the height direction of the mixing tank 3 to the corresponding position, so that the baffle plate 41 divides the inside of the mixing tank 3 into a new mixing space. At the same time, the flexible rubber ring 42 always maintains elastic contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank 3, realizing dynamic sealing between the baffle plate 41 and the mixing tank 3, thereby meeting the mixing needs of materials of different volumes.

[0038] The adjustable baffle plate 41, in conjunction with the flexible rubber ring 42, enables continuous adjustment of the internal volume of the mixing tank 3, ensuring a good sealing effect during adjustment and improving the adaptability to materials of different capacities.

[0039] See Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown: The baffle module 4 further includes a limiting unit 43 that can dynamically fix the baffle plate 41 inside the mixing tank 3; the limiting unit 43 is provided in two sets, and the two sets of limiting units 43 are fixedly disposed relative to each other on the upper surface of the baffle plate 41; the limiting unit 43 is provided with a limiting plate 431 that can dynamically abut against the inner wall of the mixing tank 3, a spring 432 that can continuously drive the limiting plate 431 to move toward the inner wall of the mixing tank 3, and a drive plate 433 that can drive the limiting plate 431 to retract.

[0040] When it is necessary to fix the position of the baffle plate 41, the limiting plate 431 is driven to move continuously toward the inner wall of the mixing tank 3 under the action of the spring 432, so that the limiting plate 431 abuts against the inner wall of the mixing tank 3 to fix the baffle plate 41; when it is necessary to readjust the height of the baffle plate 41, simply drive the drive plate 433 to move, so that the limiting plate 431 retracts and disengages from the inner wall of the mixing tank 3, and then drive the baffle plate 41 to move to a new position to fix it again.

[0041] The fastening unit 43 enables the quick locking and release of the baffle plate 41, making the adjustment of the baffle plate 41 more convenient.

[0042] See Figure 7 As shown: The limiting unit 43 further includes a guide rod 434, a guide seat 435, and a limiting part 436 that can guide the directional extension and retraction of the limiting plate 431; two guide rods 434 are provided, and the two guide rods 434 are fixedly disposed on one side of the limiting plate 431, and the rod portions of the two guide rods 434 pass through the guide seat 435 and slide in cooperation with the guide seat 435; the drive plate 433 is disposed across the two guide rods 434 and is disposed near the middle of the guide rods 434; the spring 432 is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the guide rods 434 and its two ends abut against the drive plate 433 and the guide seat 435 respectively; the limiting part 436 is fixedly disposed at the end of the guide rod 434.

[0043] When the retaining plate 431 is extended or retracted, the guide rod 434 slides within the guide seat 435 to guide the retaining plate 431 in a directional manner. At the same time, the spring 432 continuously provides a restoring force to drive the retaining plate 431 toward the inner wall of the mixing tank 3. When the drive plate 433 is moved by force, it can simultaneously drive the two guide rods 434 to move, causing the retaining plate 431 to retract in a preset direction. The limiting part 436 is used to limit the maximum stroke of the guide rod 434 to prevent the retaining plate 431 from detaching from the retaining unit 43.

[0044] See Figure 4As shown: A rotation limiting ring 44 is also coaxially rotatably provided on the lower surface of the middle part of the baffle plate 41; the rotation limiting ring 44 can abut against the top of the auxiliary stirring rod 22 installed on the main stirring rod 21; it is used to limit the displacement of the auxiliary stirring rod 22 along the axial direction of the main stirring rod 21, so that the auxiliary stirring rod 22 is always located below the baffle plate 41 for stirring.

[0045] When the baffle plate 41 is adjusted to the corresponding height, the rotating limiting ring 44 is always located above the auxiliary stirring rod 22 and maintains abutment with the top of the auxiliary stirring rod 22. When the auxiliary stirring rod 22 is impacted by the material during the stirring process and has an axial displacement tendency, the rotating limiting ring 44 can axially limit the auxiliary stirring rod 22. At the same time, since the rotating limiting ring 44 can rotate relative to the auxiliary stirring rod 22, it will not affect the normal rotation of the main stirring rod 21, so that the auxiliary stirring rod 22 is always kept below the baffle plate 41 for stirring.

[0046] By rotating the limiting ring 44 to axially limit the auxiliary stirring rod 22, the axial movement of the auxiliary stirring rod 22 is effectively prevented while ensuring the normal rotation of the stirring module 2, thus improving the stirring stability.

[0047] See Figure 5 As shown: the baffle module 4 can adjust the position of the baffle plate 41 according to the volume of the material to be stirred; the stirring module 2 can adjust the number and height of the auxiliary stirring rods 22 according to the position of the baffle plate 41; so that the stirring space and stirring range change synchronously to adapt to the stirring of materials of different volumes.

[0048] When different volumes of materials need to be mixed, first adjust the position of the baffle module 4 according to the material capacity so that the baffle plate 41 forms a mixing space of corresponding volume. Then, adjust the number and installation height of the auxiliary stirring rods 22 according to the position of the baffle plate 41 so that the mixing range always corresponds to the effective mixing space below the baffle plate 41. Finally, start the stirring module 2 to complete the mixing of materials, so that materials of different volumes can obtain high mixing efficiency.

[0049] By synchronously adjusting the baffle module 4 and the mixing module 2, the mixing space and mixing range are always kept in correspondence, which improves the equipment's adaptability to materials of different capacities and further enhances the mixing efficiency and uniformity.

[0050] This invention allows for manual adjustment of the stirring space and range according to the volume of the material being stirred, ensuring a proper match between the stirring space and range for uniform mixing. The above embodiments illustrate only one or more implementations of the invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this invention, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of this invention.
