Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of homogenizing dairy products, and in particular to a homogenizer used for dairy product processing. Background Art

[0002] The milk products consumed abroad are mainly deep-processed products, such as cheese, butter, yogurt and milk powder, while the milk products consumed in China are mainly liquid milk, and there are many kinds of products, such as pure milk, yogurt, milk drinks, etc., and as people's living standards continue to improve, dairy products are becoming increasingly popular. Homogenizers are used in liquid milk processing. The main function of homogenizers is to refine and homogenize the dispersed matter in the emulsion, and some liquid milk will also add additives to enhance the taste and nutritional value. Homogenizers can also make liquid milk and additives evenly mixed.

[0003] Currently commonly used homogenizers mainly include a tank body, a rotating rod, a dispersion disk and a motor for driving the rotating rod to rotate at high speed in the tank body. A feeding port is provided on the tank body for supplementing additives when a homogenized mixed solution is required.

[0004] The above-mentioned related technologies have the following defects: when adding additives to the homogenizer, if the additives are added in the usual way at the feed port, it is easy for the additives to not be fully dispersed evenly, resulting in lumps. The quality and taste of the food may also be affected by the uneven mixing of the additives. Especially in some vacuum homogenizers, the homogenizer tank may easily lose pressure when the material is added, resulting in prolonged homogenization time. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the problem that dairy products are easily unevenly mixed after additives are added, resulting in low homogenization efficiency, the present application provides a homogenizer for dairy product processing.

[0006] The present application provides a homogenizer for dairy product processing using the following technical solution:

[0007] A homogenizer for processing dairy products, comprising a tank body, a stirring rod rotatably arranged in the tank body, a dispersion disk fixedly connected to the stirring rod, a feeding channel penetrating the stirring rod, a discharge port connected to the feeding channel being provided on the side wall of the stirring rod extending into the tank body, a hollow hard shell fixedly connected to the stirring rod at the discharge port, and the hard shell covering the discharge port;

[0008] The tank body is provided with a rotating joint connected to the outer top end of the stirring rod, the tank body is provided with a storage box containing additives, and the storage box is connected with the feeding channel through the rotating joint; the tank body is provided with a driving component for driving the stirring rod to rotate.

[0009] Furthermore, a filter screen covering the discharge port is arranged in the hard shell.

[0010] Furthermore, the stirring rod is provided with a discharge nozzle at the discharge port, the free end of the discharge nozzle is arranged as a pointed end, and a plurality of discharge holes are opened on the conical surface of the free end of the discharge nozzle.

[0011] Furthermore, the discharge nozzle includes a fixed tube fixedly connected to the stirring rod and a loop slidably mounted on the fixed tube, and a limiting structure for preventing the loop from falling out is provided between the loop and the fixed tube.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes a sliding block fixedly connected to the inner wall of the loop, and the side wall of the fixed tube is provided with a long groove slidably matched with the sliding block, and the long groove is arranged along the axial direction of the fixed tube.

[0013] Furthermore, an elastic member is provided between the loop and the fixed tube, one end of the elastic member is fixedly connected to the loop, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixed tube; when the loop moves to the position farthest from the stirring rod, the elastic member is in a stretched state.

[0014] Furthermore, the hard shell is detachably mounted on the stirring rod.

[0015] In summary, the beneficial technical effects of this application are:

[0016] When the stirring rod rotates, the additives in the storage box will enter the feeding channel as the stirring rod rotates and be sprayed out from the discharge port; in this process, the hollow hard shell covering the discharge port can mix and stir the additives and milk just sprayed out from the discharge port, so as to promote the rapid mixing and dispersion of the additives in the milk, thereby significantly improving the homogenization efficiency of the milk and additives in this application.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solution of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] The present application embodiment discloses a homogenizer for processing dairy products. Figure 1 and Figure 2 A homogenizer for processing dairy products includes a tank body 1, a stirring rod 2 is rotatably arranged in the tank body 1, a dispersion disk 3 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 2, a feeding channel 21 is penetrated in the stirring rod 2, a side wall of the stirring rod 2 extending into the tank body 1 is provided with a discharge port 22 connected to the feeding channel 21, a hollow hard shell 4 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 2 at the discharge port 22, the hard shell 4 covers the discharge port 22, the hard shell 4 is an ellipsoidal or hemispherical shell with a hollow interior, and the hard shell 4 is made of food-grade hard plastic or stainless steel.

[0022] The tank body 1 is provided with a rotating joint 51 connected to the outer top end of the stirring rod 2, and the tank body 1 is provided with a storage box 52 containing additives, and the storage box 52 is connected with the feeding channel 21 through the rotating joint 51. Specifically, the storage box 52 and the rotating joint 51 are connected by a conduit 53, and the conduit 53 is provided with a valve 54; the tank body 1 is provided with a driving assembly for driving the stirring rod 2 to rotate; the driving assembly includes a gear ring coaxially fixed to the outer peripheral wall of the stirring rod 2, a power gear meshing with the gear ring, and a power motor for driving the power gear.

[0023] After such arrangement, after milk is poured into the tank 1, the additives to be added are placed in the storage box 52 and configured into a liquid state, and the power motor is started to drive the stirring rod 2 to rotate. The stirring rod 2 can disperse and homogenize the milk through the dispersion disk 3 when rotating; at the same time, after the valve 54 on the conduit 53 is opened, the additives in the storage box 52 will enter the feeding channel 21 as the stirring rod 2 rotates and spray out from the discharge port 22. In this process, the hard shell 4 that is covered and hollowed out at the discharge port 22 can mix and stir the additives and milk that have just been sprayed out from the discharge port 22 to promote the rapid mixing and dispersion effect of the additives in the milk, which significantly improves the homogenization efficiency of the milk and the additives in this application.

[0024] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A filter screen 6 for shielding the discharge port 22 is arranged in the hard shell 4. After such arrangement, impurities or undissolved powder in the additive can be filtered when the additive passes through the filter screen 6, thereby ensuring the mixing quality of the additive in the milk as much as possible.

[0025] At the same time, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The stirring rod 2 is provided with a discharge nozzle 7 at the discharge port 22. The discharge nozzle 7 is fixedly connected to the stirring rod 2 and communicated with the discharge port 22. The free end of the discharge nozzle 7 is set as a tip. The conical surface of the free end of the discharge nozzle 7 is provided with a plurality of discharge holes 71. After such a setting, the discharge nozzle 7 can prolong the contact between the additive and the milk, and can further refine the additive. The plurality of discharge holes 71 provided on the conical surface of the discharge nozzle 7 can prevent the additive from being blocked by a single discharge hole 71, which affects the quality and taste of the milk. In addition, the plurality of discharge ports 22 can improve the multi-faceted dispersion of the additive and make it easier for the additive to be fully mixed with the milk in a short time.

[0026] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The discharge nozzle 7 includes a fixed tube 72 fixed to the stirring rod 2 and a looper 73 slidably sleeved on the fixed tube 72. A limiting structure for preventing the looper 73 from coming out is arranged between the looper 73 and the fixed tube 72. The limiting structure includes a slider 731 fixed to the inner wall of the looper 73. The side wall of the fixed tube 72 is provided with a long groove 721 slidably adapted to the slider 731. The long groove 721 is arranged along the axial direction of the fixed tube 72. An elastic member 74 is arranged between the looper 73 and the fixed tube 72. The elastic member 74 is a spring. One end of the elastic member 74 is fixed to the looper 73 and the other end is fixed to the fixed tube 72. When the looper 73 moves to the position farthest from the stirring rod 2, the elastic member 74 is in a stretched state.

[0027] After such arrangement, the long groove 721 is opened on the side wall of the fixed tube 72 to slide with the slider 731 on the loop 73, which can prevent the loop 73 from falling off or tilting during the high-speed rotation of the stirring rod 2. Moreover, when the stirring rod 2 rotates, the loop 73 slides in the direction away from the stirring rod 2 under the action of centrifugal force. At this time, the additive can be sprayed not only from the discharge port 22 on the conical surface of the loop 73, but also from the long groove 721 on the side wall of the fixed tube 72. Moreover, the greater the rotation speed of the stirring rod 2, the greater the centrifugal force borne by the loop 73, and the larger the opening area exposed by the long groove 721, that is, the faster the rotation speed of the stirring rod 2, the faster the additive is put in. Once the rotation speed of the stirring rod 2 is reduced, the loop 73 moves in the direction close to the stirring rod 2 under the deformation force of the elastic member 74 to cover the long groove 721 part, which can reduce the amount of additive sprayed from the discharge nozzle 7.

[0028] In addition, the hard shell 4 can be detachably mounted on the stirring rod 2, such as by rotating clamping or threaded connection. In this embodiment, a mounting seat 23 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the stirring rod 2, and the open end of the hard shell 4 is threadedly mounted on the mounting seat 23. After such arrangement, the hard shell 4 can be conveniently removed for cleaning, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance.

[0029] The implementation principle of a homogenizer for dairy product processing in the embodiment of the present application is as follows:

[0030] After the milk is poured into the tank 1, the additives to be added are placed in the storage box 52 and configured into a liquid state, and the power motor is started to drive the stirring rod 2 to rotate. The stirring rod 2 can disperse and homogenize the milk through the dispersion disk 3 when rotating; at the same time, after the valve 54 on the conduit 53 is opened, the additives in the storage box 52 will enter the feeding channel 21 as the stirring rod 2 rotates and spray out from the discharge port 22. In this process, the hard shell 4 that is covered and hollowed out at the discharge port 22 can mix and stir the additives and milk that have just been sprayed out from the discharge port 22 to promote the rapid mixing and dispersion effect of the additives in the milk, which significantly improves the homogenization efficiency of the milk and the additives in this application.
