[0027] refer to Figures 1 to 3 A vacuum stirring device according to a preferred embodiment of the utility model will be described in detail below. The vacuum stirring device is used to stir milky food raw materials. The vacuum stirring device includes a device body 10, a loading container 20, a vacuum manufacturing component 30 and a stirring component 40.

[0028] The loading container 20 is provided in the device body 10 to load the emulsion food raw material to be stirred. The vacuum manufacturing component 30 is installed in the device body 10 to extract the air in the loading container 20 so that the inside of the loading container 20 becomes a low-pressure vacuum environment. The stirring component 40 is provided in the loading container 20 to stir the emulsion food raw material to be stirred in the loading container 20.

[0029] Preferably, the device body 10 forms a placement space 101. In a preferred embodiment, the charging container 20 is disposed in the placement space 101 to reduce space occupation.

[0030] Preferably, the loading container 20 includes a container body 21 and a container cover 22, wherein the container body 21 has an opening 2101 and a container cavity 2102 communicating with the opening 2101. The container cover 22 is detachably mounted on the opening 2101 of the container body 21, so as to cover or open the opening 2101 communicating with the container cavity 2102. It is understandable that when the container cover 22 is mounted on the opening 2101 of the container body 21, the loading container 20 is in a closed state.

[0031] In another embodiment, the container body 21 is made of a transparent material so that a worker can directly observe the stirring of the emulsion food material inside the container body 21 .

[0032] The vacuum manufacturing component 30 is installed on the device body 10 and is arranged to communicate with the loading container 20 through a communication pipe to completely extract the air in the loading container 20 in a closed state and form a low-pressure vacuum environment. Specifically, the communication position between the vacuum manufacturing component 30 and the loading container 20 is arranged at the container cover 22.

[0033] Preferably, the vacuum manufacturing component 30 is implemented to include a booster pump.

[0034] Those skilled in the art can understand that, when the container cover 22 is installed on the opening 2101 of the container body 21, the container cavity 2102 is closed, and the vacuum manufacturing component 30 is started to allow the air in the container cavity 2102 to pass through the connecting pipe and be discharged, so that the container cavity 2102 becomes a closed low-pressure vacuum cavity.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that a container 901 filled with milky food raw materials, a container 902 filled with water, and a container 903 filled with oil are all arranged to be connected to the container body 21 in a manner of connecting the container cover 22. The connection state between the container 901 and the container body 21 is controlled by a solenoid valve. The connection state between the container 902 and the container body 21 is controlled by a solenoid valve. The connection state between the container 903 and the container body 21 is controlled by a solenoid valve. Thus, when the container body 21 is in a low-pressure vacuum state, the solenoid valve controlling the container 901 is opened to connect the container 901 with the container body 21, and the milky food raw materials in the container 901 are sucked back into the container body 21 due to the low pressure. When the milky food raw materials are stirred to a viscous state, the solenoid valves controlling the connection status of the container 902 and the container 903 are opened respectively to connect the container 902 and the container 903 with the container body 21. At this time, the water and oil in the container 902 and the container 903 will be sucked back into the container body 21.

[0036] In this way, when the vacuum manufacturing component 30 completely extracts the air in the closed container cavity 2102, the solenoid valve controlling the connection state of the container 901 is opened to allow the emulsion food raw materials in the container 901 to be sucked into the container cavity 2102 under the action of air pressure. At this point, the container cavity 2102 is filled with the emulsion food raw materials and waits for the stirring component 40 to stir the emulsion food raw materials.

[0037] The stirring assembly 40 includes a driving member 41 and a stirring member 42, wherein the driving member 41 has a driving shaft, and the container cover 22 is connected to the driving shaft. The stirring member 42 includes a first stirring member 421, a second stirring member 422 and at least one scraper 423, wherein the first stirring member 421 is installed at the end of the driving shaft of the driving member 41 in a manner of forming an installation space 42101, and has a gap between the first stirring member 421 and the bottom wall forming the container cavity 2102, and the first stirring member 421 is driven to rotate in the container cavity 2102. The second stirring member 422 is arranged in the installation space 42101, and the second stirring member 422 is rotatably installed on the first stirring member 421. Each scraper 423 is installed on the first stirring member 421 in a manner of fitting the inner wall of the container body 21, and is used to scrape off part of the emulsified food raw materials adhering to the inner wall of the container body 21.

[0038] It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the driving member 41 is started to rotate the driving shaft of the driving member 41, preferably, the driving shaft rotates around the vertical direction, so that the first stirring member 421 installed on the driving shaft is driven to rotate rapidly, and then the second stirring member 422 and the scraper 423 installed on the first stirring member 421 are driven to rotate rapidly, thereby the milky food raw materials in the container cavity 2102 are quickly stirred.

[0039] It should be noted that, in addition to being driven by the first stirring member 421 to rotate rapidly, the second stirring member 422 also collides with the milky food raw material and further rotates, so that the milky food raw material is fully stirred to prevent some of the milky food raw materials from agglomerating into lumps.

[0040] It should also be noted that the scraper 423 can scrape off some of the milky food ingredients adhering to the inner wall of the container body 21. In particular, when the stirring assembly 40 is stirring some dark-colored milky food ingredients, the scraper 423 driven to rotate can promptly scrape off the dark-colored milky food ingredients adhering to the inner wall of the container body 21, so that the staff can observe the stirring conditions inside the container body 21 at any time.

[0041] Preferably, the stirring member 42 also includes a fixing rod 424, which is connected to the first stirring member 421 in a manner of being arranged in the installation space 42101, and the fixing rod 424 is also connected to the driving shaft, for maintaining the structure of the first stirring member 421 and making the first stirring member 421 easier to be driven, so that when the first stirring member 421 is driven to rotate, the fixing rod 424 can prevent the first stirring member 421 from bending due to the resistance generated by long-term stirring of milky food ingredients, thereby extending the service life of the first stirring member 421.

[0042] Preferably, the driving member 41 is implemented as a driving motor. The scraping member 423 is implemented as a scraper.

[0043] In this way, when the container cover 22 is covered on the opening 2101 of the container body 21, the vacuum manufacturing component 30 is started to exhaust the air inside the container body 21 on which the container cover 22 is installed, and the container cavity 2102 of the container body 21 becomes a low-pressure vacuum environment. After the milky food raw materials are introduced into the container cavity 2102 of the container body 21 by utilizing the air pressure principle, the driving member 41 is started to rotate the driving shaft of the driving member 41, and the stirring member 42 arranged on the driving shaft is driven to rotate, and starts to stir the milky food raw materials in the container cavity 2102.

[0044] Furthermore, the vacuum stirring device further comprises an adjustment assembly 50. Preferably, the adjustment assembly 50 comprises at least one driving unit 51 and a mounting platform 52, each of the driving units 51 is mounted on the device body 10, and each of the driving units 51 has a telescopic end. The mounting platform 52 is mounted on the telescopic end of the driving unit 51.

[0045] Specifically, the driving member 41 is installed on the mounting platform 52 .

[0046] It is understandable that when each of the driving units 51 is activated to extend and retract the telescopic end of each of the driving units 51, the mounting platform 52 is driven to adjust its position along the telescopic direction of the telescopic end. In other words, the driving member 41 mounted on the mounting platform 52 is driven to adjust its position along the telescopic direction of the telescopic end, so that the distance between the container cover 22 connected to the telescopic end and the container body 21 can be adjusted.

[0047] Preferably, the driving unit 51 is implemented to include a hydraulic cylinder.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the device body has a loading space 102, and two driving units 51 are provided, and both are arranged in the loading space 102, so as to share the gravity of the mounting platform 52 and save space.

[0049] In another preferred embodiment, the mounting platform 52 has a storage space 5201, and the driving member 41 is disposed in the storage space 5201, thereby further saving space.

[0050] In this way, the driving unit 51 is started to shrink the telescopic end of the driving unit 51, and the mounting platform 52 is driven to drive the driving member 41 to move along the shrinking direction of the telescopic end, so that the container cover 22 installed on the driving member 41 is pushed toward the opening 2101 of the container body 21, thereby, the container cavity 2102 is sealed.

[0051] Furthermore, the vacuum stirring device further comprises a pouring assembly 60. Preferably, the pouring assembly 60 comprises a rotating clamp arm 61, a rotated arm 62 and a driving member 63, wherein the rotating clamp arm 61 and the rotated arm 62 are arranged in the placement space 101 oppositely and at intervals, and form a clamping opening 601, wherein the clamping opening 601 is used to place and adapt the container body 21. The rotating clamp arm 61 is driven and rotationally connected to the driving member 63. The rotated arm 62 is rotatably mounted on the device body 10. The driving member 63 is arranged on the device body 10 in a manner of driving the rotating clamp arm 61 to rotate.

[0052] It can be understood that the driving member 63 is driven to rotate the rotating clamp arm 61 , so that the container body 21 in the clamping port 601 is tilted by the rotating rotating clamp arm 61 .

[0053] Preferably, the driving member 63 is implemented to include a driving motor.

[0054] In a specific example, a rotating tooth portion 611 is provided at the end of the rotating clamp arm 61. A gear portion 631 is provided at one end of the driving member 63. The rotating tooth portion 611 is rotatably engaged with the gear portion 631. A force applying portion 632 is provided at the other end of the driving member 63, and the force applying portion 632 is used for a staff to manually apply force to drive the driving member 63 to rotate along the axial direction, thereby, the gear portion 631 is driven to rotate along the axial direction of the driving member 63, and then the rotating tooth portion 611 of the rotating clamp arm 61 is driven by the gear portion 631 to rotate, so that the rotating clamp arm 61 rotates and causes the container body 21 to tilt.

[0055] In this way, after completing the stirring operation of the emulsion food raw materials in the container cavity 2102, the driving unit 51 is driven to extend the telescopic end of the driving unit 51, and the driving member 41 installed on the mounting platform 52 is driven to move along the extending direction of the telescopic end, thereby, the container cover 22 installed on the driving member 41 is driven away from the container body 21 until the bottom end of the first stirring member 421 of the stirring member 42 is away from the container body 21. At this time, the driving member 63 is driven to rotate the rotating clamp arm 61, so that the container body 21 in the clamping port 601 is tilted under the action of the rotating clamp arm 61 and the rotated arm 62, and the staff can collect the stirred emulsion food raw materials from the tilted container body 21.

[0056] In addition, when the emulsion food raw materials are being stirred, a portion of the emulsion food raw materials will be deposited at the bottom of the container body 21 and cannot be stirred by the stirring component 40. Therefore, the vacuum stirring device also includes a vibration component 70 for pushing the emulsion food raw materials deposited at the bottom of the container body 21 toward the stirring component 40.

[0057] Preferably, the vibration assembly 70 includes a vibration unit 71 and a vibration element 72. Preferably, the vibration unit 71 has a driving shaft, and the vibration unit 71 is disposed in the placement space 101 and is located below the container body 21, and is spaced apart from a wall forming the placement space 101. The vibration element 72 is disposed in the container cavity 2102, and the vibration element 72 is driven and movably mounted on the driving shaft.

[0058] It can be understood that the vibration unit 71 is started to drive the driving shaft of the vibration unit 71, and the vibration element 72 is driven to move quickly in the container cavity 2102.

[0059] More preferably, the vibration element 72 is disposed at a predetermined distance away from the first stirring member 421 to prevent the vibration element 72 from colliding with the first stirring member 421 during movement.

[0060] More preferably, the vibration unit 71 is implemented as a vibration motor. The vibration element 72 is implemented as a vibration disk.

[0061] In this way, when the staff observes that milky food materials are deposited at the bottom of the container body 21, the vibration unit 71 is started to drive the vibration element 72 to vibrate, thereby, the deposited milky food materials are pushed toward the stirring component 40 by the vibration element 72 and stirred by the stirring component 40.

[0062] It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are only examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been demonstrated and explained in the embodiments, and the embodiments of the present invention may be deformed or modified in any way without departing from the principles.
