Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the food processing industry, the mixing of ingredients is a crucial step, which is directly related to the taste, texture and nutritional value of the final product.

[0003] At present, when mixing ingredients, most food processing plants usually pour multiple ingredients directly into a mixing drum and mix them with stirring blades. In this way, due to the direct pouring of ingredients, the same ingredients are easy to pile up together, which causes the stirring blades to take longer to disperse these piled ingredients during the stirring process, thus greatly reducing the mixing efficiency. Long-term stirring not only increases energy consumption, but may also cause a certain degree of damage to the nutritional components of the ingredients; in addition, traditional stirring blades mostly use a unidirectional rotation method, which is easy to form vortices during the stirring process, causing some ingredients to be drawn into the center of the vortex and difficult to fully mix with other ingredients, resulting in uneven mixing of ingredients. Uneven mixing will directly affect the taste and texture of food and reduce the overall quality of the product. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model are clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] Please refer to the attached Figure 1-5 , the present embodiment is a food processing ingredient mixing device: comprising a box body 1, a first feed hopper 2 and a second feed hopper 3 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the box body 1, a feed port 4 cooperating with the first feed hopper 2 and the second feed hopper 3 is provided on the box body 1, a batcher is provided at the feed port 4, a stirrer is provided below the batcher, the stirrer is rotatably connected to the box body 1, a discharge port 5 is opened on the box body 1 on one side of the stirrer, the batcher comprises a first batching roller 6 and a second batching roller 7, the first batching roller 6 and the second batching roller 7 are both in contact with the feed port 4, a batching groove 8 is provided on the first batching roller 6 and the second batching roller 7, and the first batching roller 6 and the second batching roller 7 are rotatably connected in the box body 1.

[0023] The box body 1 is the main part of the device, which is used to accommodate and support other components. It provides a closed space to ensure the safety and efficiency of materials during proportioning and mixing. The first feed hopper 2 and the second feed hopper 3 are located above the box body 1, and are used to introduce different types of materials into the box body 1. The first feed hopper 2 and the second feed hopper 3 are ladder mechanisms with a large upper part and a small lower part. Their design allows materials to easily enter the box body 1 while reducing the loss or contamination of materials during the feeding process. The box body 1 is provided with feed ports 4 corresponding to the first feed hopper 2 and the second feed hopper 3. These feed ports 4 are channels for materials to enter the box body 1. The batcher installed at the feed port 4 is responsible for proportioning different types of materials according to a predetermined ratio. The batcher includes a first batching roller 6 and a second batching roller 7. The first batching roller 6 and the second batching roller 7 are both tightly fitted with the feed port 4. At the same time, a sealing strip can be installed on the side wall of the feed port 4 to prevent the ingredients at the upper end from falling into the lower part of the box body 1 through the gap. The first batching roller 6 and the second batching roller 7 are provided with a batching trough 8, and the batching trough 8 is used to control the flow rate of each material. Every time the first batching roller 6 and the second batching roller 7 rotate one circle, the materials falling from the first feed hopper 2 and the second feed hopper 3 have the same volume as the batching trough 8, thereby achieving accurate proportioning. The agitator is located below the batcher and is rotatably connected to the box body 1. The agitator fully mixes and stirs the proportioned materials to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the materials. The discharge port 5 is located on the box body 1 on one side of the agitator. The discharge port 5 is the channel for the proportioned and stirred materials to leave the box body 1.

[0024] The materials in the first feeding hopper 2 and the second feeding hopper 3 are discharged by the rotation of the first dosing roller 6 and the second dosing roller 7. In order to make the materials in the first feeding hopper 2 and the second feeding hopper 3 more evenly mixed when falling, the first dosing roller 6 and the second dosing roller 7 rotate relative to each other, and the first dosing roller 6 and the second dosing roller 7 have the same rotation speed. When the two dosing grooves 8 on the first dosing roller 6 and the second dosing roller 7 are located in relative positions, the materials move downward under the action of gravity, so that the materials falling from the two dosing grooves 8 are in the middle of the box body 1, and the first pulley 11 and the second pulley in the driving device The diameters of the first gear 14 and the second gear 15 are the same, the modules of the first gear 14 and the second gear 15 are the same, and the driving motor is connected to the driving pulley 10, so that when the driving motor is working, it drives the first pulley 11 and the second pulley 12 to rotate synchronously and in the same direction through the driving pulley 10 and the connecting belt 13, and the second pulley 12 is fixedly connected to the first gear 14, and the first gear 14 is meshed with the second gear 15. Under the action of the first gear 14 and the second gear 15, the direction of the second batching roller 7 is changed, thereby ensuring that the first batching roller 6 and the second batching roller 7 rotate synchronously in the opposite direction, which is convenient for the subsequent mixing of the materials.

[0025] The agitator is used to mix and stir the materials falling in the box 1, and the materials are turned over and mixed through the rotating movement of the agitator to ensure the uniformity of the mixing of the materials; the agitator is provided with a first driving shaft 16, and the first driving shaft 16 is connected to two support rods 17, the support rods 17 are of a square structure, the support rods 17 are fixedly connected to the first driving shaft 16, and rotate with it, and the main function of the support rods 17 is to provide support and fixing points for installing and fixing the first stirring rod 18, and to increase the contact area with the material through the first stirring shaft, thereby increasing the stirring rate, and further A second drive shaft 19 can be installed in the middle of the first drive shaft 16. The second drive shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the first drive shaft 16, but the rotation directions of the first drive shaft 16 and the second drive shaft 19 are opposite. This design enables the second stirring rod 20 to rotate in a direction different from that of the first stirring rod 18. Since the second drive shaft 19 rotates in the opposite direction to the first drive shaft 16, the rotation direction of the second stirring rod 20 will also be opposite to that of the first stirring rod 18. This design helps to break up vortices or lumps that may be formed in the material during the stirring process, thereby improving the uniformity of mixing.

[0026] The driving bevel gear 23, the first bevel gear 21 and the second bevel gear 22 are all located on the outside of the casing 1. The driving bevel gear 23 is connected to a motor, and the rotation of the motor drives the first bevel gear 21 and the second bevel gear 22 to rotate in the opposite direction. The first bevel gear 21 is fixedly connected to the first driving shaft 16, and the second bevel gear 22 is fixedly connected to the second driving shaft 19. The reverse rotation of the first bevel gear 21 and the second bevel gear 22 drives the reverse rotation of the first driving shaft 16 and the second driving shaft 19.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
