[0019] Example 1
[0020] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 The present application provides a raw material stirring device for coffee powder production, comprising a stirring tank 1, a spiral blade 2 and a first heating device 3. The bottom of the stirring tank 1 is arc-shaped. The stirring tank 1 is used to put coffee extract. The lower part of the spiral blade 2 is in contact with the inner wall of the stirring tank 1, and the upper part is higher than the coffee extract liquid level in the stirring tank 1. The first heating device 3 is used to heat the coffee extract in the stirring tank 1. The spiral blade 2 is connected to the output shaft of the first motor 4. The coffee liquid obtained by extraction is poured into the stirring tank 1. When the first motor 4 in the stirring tank 1 is working, the spiral blade 2 is driven to rotate, and the rotation of the spiral blade 2 is used to stir the extract to promote the evaporation of water. During the stirring process, the first heating device 3 is used to heat the coffee extract in the stirring tank 1 to promote the evaporation of water in the extract and improve the production efficiency of coffee powder. The lower part of the spiral blade 2 is in contact with the inner wall of the stirring tank 1, so that the precipitated coffee powder can be stirred to avoid adhering to the inner wall of the stirring tank 1. During stirring, the lower part of the spiral blade 2 is immersed in the extract, and the moisture of the extract adheres to the stirring shaft 9. When the stirring shaft 9 leaves the liquid surface, the surface contacts the air, which promotes the evaporation of the moisture on the surface. With the stirring of the stirring shaft 9, the evaporation area of the coffee extract can be expanded, thereby improving the production efficiency of coffee powder.
[0021] Optionally, a second motor 5 is further included, and a knocking hammer 6 is provided on the output shaft of the second motor 5. When the knocking hammer 6 rotates, it knocks the output shaft of the first motor 4. When coffee powder adheres to the spiral leaf 2, the second motor 5 can be turned on, and the second motor 5 drives the knocking hammer 6 to knock the output shaft of the first motor 4, thereby causing the spiral leaf 2 to vibrate and shake off the adhered coffee powder.
[0022] Specifically, the first end of the bottom of the stirring tank 1 is higher than the second end. When the spiral blade 2 rotates, it pushes the coffee powder extract to move toward the first end. The first end is connected to the auxiliary heating chamber 7. A third motor 8 and a stirring shaft 9 are provided in the auxiliary heating chamber 7. The output shaft of the third motor 8 is connected to the stirring shaft 9. A second heating device 10 is provided at the bottom of the auxiliary heating chamber 7. The coffee powder precipitated due to the evaporation of water in the stirring tank 1 moves toward the first end under the push of the spiral blade 2, and finally falls into the auxiliary heating chamber 7. The second heating device 10 at the bottom of the auxiliary heating chamber 7 continues to heat and dry the coffee powder. When the third motor 8 rotates, it drives the stirring shaft 9 to rotate, thereby stirring the coffee powder in the auxiliary heating chamber 7 and promoting uniform drying of the coffee powder.
[0023] Specifically, the first heating device 3 and the second heating device 10 are electric heaters, for example, electric heating wires, electric heating plates or electric magnetic disks are used to heat the stirring tank 1 and the auxiliary heating chamber 7 .
[0024] Example 2
[0025] Please refer to the attached Figures 1-2 The difference between this embodiment and the embodiment 1 is that a storage tank 11 is provided above the stirring tank 1, and the storage tank 11 is connected to a discharge pipe 12, and the discharge pipe 12 is connected to the stirring tank 1, and the discharge pipe 12 is provided with a control valve 13. The storage tank 11 stores coffee extract, and after the control valve 13 is opened, the coffee extract can be discharged from the discharge pipe 12 into the stirring tank 1. At the same time, the water vapor generated in the stirring tank 1 flows upward to heat the bottom of the storage tank 11, and the waste heat can be used to heat the extract in the storage tank, making full use of the heat energy.
[0026] Specifically, the bottom surface of the storage tank 11 is in an inverted V shape. The liquid condensed at the bottom of the storage tank flows to both sides along the bottom of the storage tank to avoid backflow into the stirring tank 1. The inverted V-shaped structure also increases the surface area of the bottom of the storage tank 11, which is beneficial to heat exchange. The density of hot air is small, and the inverted V-shaped structure can gather hot air to the middle of the bottom of the storage tank 11, which is beneficial to heating the storage tank 11.
[0027] Specifically, guide pipes 14 are provided on both sides of the storage tank 11. Liquid flowing down from both sides enters the guide pipes 14 and is finally discharged along the guide pipes 14.
[0028] The above are only specific implementations of the utility model, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, which should be included in the protection scope of the utility model. The protection scope of the utility model should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
