Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mixers, in particular to a mixer capable of adjusting the water volume. Background Art

[0002] A mixer is usually composed of a horizontally rotating container and a rotating vertical stirring device. When the molding material is stirred, the mixer has a small extrusion force on the material, low heat generation, high stirring efficiency, and relatively uniform mixing. Therefore, mixers are present in many fields and have developed rapidly. In the food production process, mixers are often used to mix and stir ingredients. The main function of the mixer in pet food production is to mix different types of pet ingredients such as flour, water, vitamins and other nutritional additives together, stir them thoroughly and evenly, so that the raw materials are fully mixed, laying a good foundation for later food processing.

[0003] The mixers used in pet food processing plants can generally stir and mix dry ingredients, but some pet foods require the addition of water to make the ingredients easier to mix. Moreover, when processing food, the amount of water added also needs to be adjusted according to the specific formula and production process to ensure the quality and taste of the food. However, general mixers do not have a water volume control system, and water can only be poured directly into the mixer with a bucket, and the amount of water used cannot be controlled. At the same time, some raw materials are also easy to adhere to the wall of the bucket, which will cause the mixer to be unable to mix them evenly with other raw materials, which may lead to uneven distribution of ingredients in the food formula, thereby affecting the quality and taste of the final product.

[0004] How to invent a mixer with adjustable water volume to improve these problems has become an urgent problem to be solved by technicians in this field. Utility Model Content

[0027] Example

[0028] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , a mixer with adjustable water volume, comprising a mixing box 1, wherein the upper and lower ends of the mixing box 1 are respectively provided with a feeding port 102 and a discharging port 101, which are used for feeding materials and discharging materials respectively, a motor 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the mixing box 1, and a rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4, the rotating shaft 5 penetrates the bottom wall of the mixing box 1 and is rotatably arranged inside the mixing box 1, a water inlet pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing box 1, the lower end of the water inlet pipe 2 penetrates the upper side wall of the mixing box 1 and is connected with a water storage tray 3, a regulating valve 201 is arranged on the water inlet pipe 2 located outside the mixing box 1, for controlling the amount of water and the size of the water pressure, a support rod 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 5 located inside the mixing box 1, a plurality of stirring rods 7 are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the support rod 6, an elastic cleaning device and a cleaning area nozzle 601 are fixedly arranged on the outer side wall of the support rod 6, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the inside of the water storage tray 3;

[0029] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 5, the supporting rod 6 and the stirring rod 7 are all hollow, and the supporting rod 6 and the rotating shaft 5 and the stirring rod 7 are all through-connected to allow water to flow between them. The interior of the water storage tray 3 is provided with a plurality of water outlets 301 in a circular shape and at equal intervals, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 5 is provided with a plurality of water inlets 501 in a circular shape and at equal intervals. The height of the top water inlet 501 is higher than the height of the top water outlet 301, which helps to promote the water flow by using gravity and ensures that there is enough water pressure even at the top of the rotating shaft 5 to supply the entire system. Under the action of gravity, the water will flow from the water outlet 301 to the inside of the water inlet 501. The top of the rotating shaft 5 is sealed and rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the water storage tray 3, which prevents liquid leakage and ensures that the rotating shaft 5 will not be subject to excessive resistance when rotating.

[0030] It should be noted that: the end of the stirring rod 7 away from the rotating shaft 5 and the side opposite to the rotating direction of the rotating shaft 5 are both provided with a stirring zone nozzle 701, and under the action of centrifugal force, the water flow can be directly thrown out from the nozzle, and the cleaning zone nozzle 601 and the stirring zone nozzle 701 are both one-way through settings to ensure that the liquid does not flow back, thereby maintaining a stable pressure and ensuring that the nozzle can generate sufficient force to stir the mixture or clean the inner wall of the box;

[0031] Reference Figure 3-Figure 8 The elastic cleaning device includes a limiting sleeve 8 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support rod 6, an elastic scraper 801 is slidably connected in the limiting sleeve 8, a plurality of limiting springs 802 are fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the limiting sleeve 8, and the end of the limiting spring 802 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the elastic scraper 801;

[0032] It should be noted that: the end face of the elastic scraper 801 is against the inner wall of the mixing box 1, which helps to remove the material adhering to the inner wall of the mixing box 1 during the rotation of the stirring rod 7. The elastic scraper 801 is made of fluororubber material, which has good chemical resistance and is suitable for a variety of chemical environments. It is heat-resistant and wear-resistant, thereby improving the durability and applicability of the mixer. The cleaning area nozzle 601 is located on one side of the limiting sleeve 8 and is equidistantly distributed along the edge of the support rod 6. During the stirring process, uniform spraying of the inner cavity wall can be achieved, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency. The cross-section of the support rod 6 is set in a U-shaped shape, and the gap between the bottom wall of the support rod 6 and the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the mixing box 1 is small. This small gap reduces the accumulation of materials in this area;

[0033] The stirring rod 7 can not only store water, but also rotate under the drive of the rotating shaft 5 and the supporting rod 6. The stirring rod 7 can stir the ingredients in the mixing box 1, and can also make the water from the stirring zone nozzle 701 on the stirring rod 7 act on the ingredients, so as to better mix the water and the ingredients and make the stirring more uniform.

[0034] The working principle of the mixer with adjustable water volume is as follows: when the mixer is used, the motor 4 is started to rotate the rotating shaft 5, and the regulating valve 201 is opened to allow water to flow into the water storage tray 3. Under the action of gravity, the water will flow out from the water outlet 301 and flow into the interior of the rotating shaft 5 through the water inlet 501. According to the food formula, the required ingredients, such as flour, bean products, vegetables, meat, nutrients, etc., are put into the mixer one by one, and then the regulating valve 201 is used to adjust the water speed according to the water volume used in the formula. When a large amount of water flow is required, the regulating valve 201 is turned to increase the water speed. After the water flows into the water storage tray 3, the water volume in the rotating shaft 5, the support rod 6 and the stirring rod 7 can also be quickly replenished, so that the water in the cleaning area nozzle 601 and the stirring area nozzle 701 can flow out normally. When the required water flow is small, the regulating valve 201 can be turned to reduce the water speed, and the water flows into the rotating shaft 5 slowly, so that less water flows out of the cleaning area nozzle 601 and the stirring area nozzle 701, thereby adjusting the water volume;

[0035] The rotating shaft 5 rotates, and through centrifugal motion, water flows from the cleaning zone nozzle 601 and the stirring zone nozzle 701 to the mixing box 1, and the stirring rod 7 stirs the food. The stirring rod 7 port and the stirring zone nozzle 701 on the side can also flow out water to mix the food, so that the food is fully and evenly mixed. The mixed and stirred food can be taken out through the discharge port 101. The adjustable water volume of the mixer is conducive to mixing and stirring the food evenly in the mixer when water is added, so that the quality and taste of the food can be guaranteed, the practicality of the mixer is increased, and the efficiency of pet food production is improved;

[0036] On the other hand, under the joint action of the limit spring 802 and the elastic scraper 801, the raw materials adhered to the inner wall of the mixing box 1 can be scraped off while the rotating shaft 5 rotates. The setting of the limit spring 802 ensures that the elastic scraper 801 is tightly against the inner cavity side wall of the mixing box 1 to ensure the cleaning effect. In addition, after scraping, the water flow sprayed from the cleaning area nozzle 601 can also rinse the inner wall, so that the food on the inner wall of the mixing box 1 is not easy to adhere, which is more convenient when cleaning the inner wall of the box.
