[0029] In order to make the technical personnel in this field better understand the utility model, the utility model is further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the utility model and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0030] See also Figures 1 to 5 The mixer 6 provided in the embodiment of the utility model includes a body; the body includes at least two layers of first mixing plates 61 arranged in parallel and at least two layers of second mixing plates 62 arranged in parallel; the first mixing plate 61 includes at least two first mixing rods 611 arranged in parallel and at intervals; the second mixing plate 62 includes at least two second mixing rods 621 arranged in parallel and at intervals; the first mixing plate 61 and the second mixing plate 62 are arranged crosswise, the first mixing rods 611 of the first mixing plate 61 and the second mixing rods 621 of the second mixing plate 62 are staggered, and the adjacent first mixing rods 611 and the second mixing rods 621 are fixedly connected.
[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2, the first mixing plate 61 and the second mixing plate 62 are arranged obliquely and crosswise; wherein the first mixing rods 611 of the first mixing plate 61 are located between the adjacent second mixing rods 621 of the second mixing plate 62; and the second mixing rods 621 of the second mixing plate 62 are located between the adjacent first mixing rods 611 of the first mixing plate 61. Adjacent first mixing rods 611 and second mixing rods 621 are fixedly connected, so that all first mixing rods 611 and second mixing rods 621 are connected together to form a whole.
[0032] As an implementation method, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 The body includes three layers of first mixing plates 61 and three layers of second mixing plates 62; each layer of the first mixing plates 61 includes four first mixing rods 611 arranged at intervals, and each layer of the second mixing plates 62 includes four second mixing rods 621 arranged at intervals; the angle β between the first mixing plates 61 and the second mixing plates 62 is preferably 90°. The cross-sectional shapes of the first mixing rods 611 and the second mixing rods 621 are rectangular, and the cross-sectional dimensions are consistent. Of course, the cross-sectional shapes of the first mixing rods 611 and the second mixing rods 621 can also be other shapes such as squares and circles, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the two can also be inconsistent.
[0033] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the mixer 6 provided in the embodiment of the utility model is used to be placed in the mixing channel 5 of the mixing device to mix the sugar-making raw materials. The mixer 6 is arranged in such a way that the first mixing plate 61 and the second mixing plate 62 are inclined relative to the axis 51 of the mixing channel 5. When the angle between the first mixing plate and the second mixing plate is 90°, generally one is inclined at 45° relative to the axis 51 of the mixing channel 5, and the other is inclined at 135° relative to the axis 51 of the mixing channel 5. At least two mixers 6 are generally placed in one mixing channel 5. The specific principle is that when the sugar raw material flows along the mixing channel 5, when the sugar raw material passes through the first mixing plate 61 and the second mixing plate 62, since the first mixing plate 61 and the second mixing plate 62 are both inclined, the sugar raw material collides with the first mixing rod 611 of the first mixing plate 61 and the second mixing rod 621 of the second mixing plate 62 during the flow, and its speed and direction change, or it flows along the first mixing rod or along the second mixing rod, forming a cross flow, so that the sugar raw material is mixed during the collision. Compared with the prior art, the mixing of sugar raw materials can be achieved without a motor as a power source, which reduces power consumption and production costs.
[0034] The body of the mixer 6 can be a spherical structure or a cylindrical structure, and its size and shape are generally set according to the shape and size of the mixing channel. In order to conveniently stack the mixer 6 in the mixing channel, preferably, see Figures 1 to 4 , the main body is an overall cylindrical structure; this not only allows the mixer 6 to be conveniently stacked in the mixing channel with a cylindrical inner cavity, but also allows the ends of adjacent mixers 6 to fit together, making full use of the space in the mixing channel and increasing the number of mixers 6 stacked in the mixing channel.
[0035] The mixer 6 provided in the embodiment of the utility model has a body of an integrally formed structure, which can ensure the reliability of the connection between the first mixing rod 611 and the second mixing rod 621 and improve the service life of the mixer 6. During production, a section of round steel is provided as a workpiece to be processed, and the body is processed on the original round steel by wire cutting.
[0036] See also Figures 6 to 9 The mixing device provided by the embodiment of the utility model comprises a housing 1, wherein at least one mixing channel 5 is provided in the housing 1, and the mixing channel 5 can be arranged in a straight line or a curved arrangement. The housing 1 is provided with a discharge port 4 connected to one end of the mixing channel 5 and corresponding to one another, and is also provided with a first feed pipe 2 connected to the other end of the mixing channel 5. The mixing channel 5 is provided with at least two mixers 6 arranged in sequence along the mixing channel 5, and the mixers 6 are arranged in such a way that the first mixing plate 61 and the second mixing plate 62 thereof are both inclined relative to the axis of the mixing channel 5, and between two adjacent mixers 6, the second mixer 6 is rotated relative to the first mixer 6 in the circumferential direction by an angle α, 0°<α≤90°. The mixer is generally arranged in the mixing channel 5 in a clamping manner.
[0037] The shell 1 can adopt a single-layer shell structure. When used for mixing sugar raw materials, in order to prevent the sugar raw materials from cooling down during mixing, the shell 1 generally adopts a double-layer shell structure, and an insulation cavity for passing an insulation medium is provided between the outer shell and the inner shell.
[0038] The first feed pipe 2 can be an integral structure with the housing 1, or a split structure, and is welded to the housing 1. When there are multiple mixing channels 5, the mixing channels 5 can share or use a single first feed pipe.
[0039] Combine the following Figures 7 to 9 The working principle of the mixing device provided in the embodiment of the utility model is described as follows:
[0040] First, the sugar raw material is fed into the mixing channel 5 through the first feeding pipe 2, and the sugar raw material flows along the mixing channel 5. Due to the arrangement of the mixer 6, the first mixing plate 61 and the second mixing plate 62 are inclined relative to the axis 51 of the mixing channel 5. When the sugar raw material passes through the mixer, the sugar raw material hits the first mixing rod 611 of the first mixing plate 61 and the second mixing rod 621 of the second mixing plate 62, and its speed and direction change, or it flows along the first mixing rod or along the second mixing rod, forming a cross flow. , so that the sugar raw materials are mixed during the collision process; and because between the two adjacent mixers 6, the second mixer 6 is rotated 0° to 90° relative to the first mixer 6 in the circumferential direction, so that the second mixer 6 and the first mixer 6 are misaligned in the circumferential direction, therefore, when the sugar raw materials pass through the second mixer 6, they can be affected by the first mixing rod 611 and the second mixing rod 621 of the second mixer 6, and cross-flow in another direction, thereby ensuring the mixing effect and efficiency of the sugar raw materials. In this way, the multiple mixers 6 in the mixing channel 5 can achieve uniform mixing of the sugar raw materials, and the mixed sugar raw materials flow out from the discharge port of the mixing channel 5. In order to facilitate the flow of sugar raw materials, the mixing device can generally be arranged vertically downward or horizontally.
[0041] The mixing device provided by the embodiment of the utility model places the mixer 6 in the mixing channel 5 and arranges the two adjacent mixers in a circumferentially staggered manner. During the flow of the sugar raw materials in the mixing channel 5, they collide with the first mixing rod 611 and the second mixing rod 621 to change the flow direction of the sugar raw materials, thereby realizing cross-flow in multiple directions and mixing the sugar raw materials. Compared with the prior art, the mixing of the sugar raw materials can be achieved without a motor as a power source, which reduces power consumption and production costs, and has a good mixing effect, high efficiency and less flow resistance to the sugar raw materials.
[0042] In addition, the mixing device with the above structure is a passive mixing device compared to the stirring device, and will not generate bubbles in the sugar raw materials during mixing, which is also conducive to improving product quality, so it is particularly suitable for mixing sugar raw materials. Of course, the utility model can also be used for mixing materials with high viscosity similar to sugar raw materials.
[0043] It is understandable that the specific number of mixers 6 arranged in the mixing channel 5 needs to be set comprehensively based on the flow resistance and mixing effect of the sugar raw materials. The more mixers 6 are arranged in the mixing channel 5, the greater the flow resistance of the sugar raw materials, but the better the mixing effect of the sugar raw materials.
[0044] In the embodiment of the utility model, four mixing channels 5 are provided in the housing 1. In some embodiments, only three mixing channels 5 are provided in the housing 1. Providing multiple mixing channels 5 allows different pigments or dressings to be added to different mixing channels 5, thereby facilitating the production of products with multiple colors or flavors.
[0045] In the present invention, between two adjacent mixers 6, when the second mixer 6 is rotated 90° in the circumferential direction relative to the first mixer 6, the effect is best. Fig. 9 As shown, specifically, if the first mixer 6 causes the sugar-making raw materials to cross-flow and mix in the left and right directions, then after the second mixer 6 is rotated 90° in the circumferential direction relative to the first mixer 6, the second mixer 6 mainly causes the sugar-making raw materials to cross-flow and mix in the vertical direction, thus achieving the best effect.
[0046] In the embodiment of the utility model, when there are multiple mixing channels 5, i.e., at least two, the housing 1 is further provided with a second feed pipe 3 corresponding to and connected to the mixing channels 5, and the second feed pipe 3 penetrates into the center of the corresponding mixing channel 5. In this way, the base material in the sugar-making raw material: syrup, can enter the mixing channel 5 from the first feed pipe 2, and the pigment auxiliary material can enter the mixing channel 5 through the second feed pipe 3. Different pigments can be added through different second feed pipes, thereby producing syrups of various colors, i.e., one mixing channel mixes one pigment. Since the second feed pipe 3 penetrates into the center of the mixing channel 5, the auxiliary material can be fed into the middle of the base material, which is more convenient for it to be mixed with the base material in the mixing channel 5.
[0047] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the utility model. For those skilled in the art, the utility model can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
