[0022] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the present application, so the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0023] The present application embodiment provides a mixing device 10. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is a side view of the mixing device 10, Figure 2 It is a top view of the mixing device 10. The mixing device 10 includes a movable mechanism, a first feeding mechanism 8 and a second feeding mechanism. The movable mechanism is provided with a receiving tank 7; the first feeding mechanism 8 is used to convey the main material to the movable mechanism so that the main material contacts the movable mechanism and the main material is located outside the receiving tank; the second feeding mechanism is used to convey the auxiliary material into the receiving tank 7; the movable mechanism is used to move under the push of the main material so that the receiving tank 7 moves to make the auxiliary material mix with the main material to form a mixed material, and the first feeding mechanism 8 is used to convey the mixed material out. In the above-mentioned mixing device 10, the first feeding mechanism 8 conveys the main material to the movable mechanism, and the second feeding mechanism conveys the auxiliary material to the receiving tank 7 on the movable mechanism. The main material can push the movable mechanism to move, so that the movable mechanism moves to make the auxiliary material in the receiving tank 7 mix with the main material, and the mixed mixed material is then conveyed out through the first feeding mechanism 8. Thus, the main material and the auxiliary material can be automatically mixed by conveying the main material, which can reduce the labor intensity of the operator, save time and energy, and improve production efficiency; at this time, since the mixing is caused by the conveying of the main material, when the conveying of the main material stops, the mixing of the main material and the auxiliary material is also stopped immediately, so the mixing device 10 also has the function of mixing the auxiliary material when the main material moves, and stopping the mixing of the auxiliary material when the main material stops moving. Since the mixing process of the main material and the auxiliary material does not require direct operation by the operator, the problem of uneven mixing caused by different operating skills and levels of different operators can be avoided.

[0024] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the movement mode of the movable mechanism, and the movable mechanism can move linearly or rotate under the push of the main material. The movement mode in which the auxiliary material in the movable mechanism can be mixed with the main material through the push of the main material is within the protection scope of the present application.

[0025] Optionally, the first feeding mechanism 8 may be a climbing belt conveyor or a linear belt conveyor, etc. The first feeding mechanism 8 is used to convey the main material to the movable mechanism, so that the main material can drive the movable mechanism to move.

[0026] In some embodiments, the movable mechanism includes a bracket 1 and a rotating assembly, the rotating assembly is rotatably connected to the bracket 1, the rotating assembly is provided with a receiving groove 7, the first feeding mechanism 8 is used to convey the main material to the rotating assembly, and the rotating assembly is used to rotate under the push of the main material, so that the receiving groove 7 rotates to make the auxiliary material mix with the main material to form a mixture. The rotating assembly has a simple structure, which can reduce the failure rate of the mixing device 10, and is also easy to clean, meeting the hygiene requirements of the food industry, and its maintenance is simple, the cost of parts replacement is low, and the long-term operating cost can be reduced. In addition, by controlling the feeding speed of the first feeding mechanism 8, the pushing strength of the main material on the rotating assembly can be controlled, thereby changing the rotation speed of the rotating assembly, and different rotation speeds can achieve different mixing effects, so that auxiliary materials of fine particle fluids of different properties can be effectively dispersed and mixed.

[0027] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the positional relationship between the first feeding mechanism 8, the second feeding mechanism and the bracket 1. The position where the first feeding mechanism 8 can deliver the main material to the rotating assembly on the bracket 1 so that the main material can drive the rotating assembly to rotate, and the position where the second feeding mechanism delivers the auxiliary material to the containing groove 7 are all within the protection scope of this embodiment. For example, the first feeding mechanism 8 can be located at the left side, right side or bottom of the rotating assembly. The second feeding mechanism can be located at the left side, right side or top of the rotating assembly.

[0028] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific structure of the rotating assembly. A rod-shaped structure, a plate-shaped structure, a spiral structure, etc. may be provided on the rotating shaft 2 to increase the stirring area of ​​the rotating assembly.

[0029] Preferably, see Figure 1In some embodiments, the rotating assembly includes a rotating shaft 2 and a plurality of blades 3, the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the bracket 1, one end of all the blades 3 along their own length direction is connected to the rotating shaft 2, and the other end extends in the direction away from the rotating shaft 2, and a receiving groove 7 is formed between two adjacent blades 3, and the first feeding mechanism 8 is used to convey the main material to the plurality of blades 3, and the plurality of blades 3 are used to rotate under the push of the main material. The blades 3 are arranged on the rotating shaft 2, which can increase the contact area between the rotating assembly and the main material, and thus can improve the pushing effect of the main material on the rotating assembly in the conveying state, so that the rotating assembly can be continuously rotated, and the main material and the auxiliary material can be continuously mixed. It can be understood that a receiving groove 7 for accommodating the auxiliary material is formed between two adjacent blades 3, and the auxiliary material can be entrained between the blades 3 and rotated to one side of the main material with relative rotation, and then fall off from the receiving groove 7 and mix with the main material.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the shape of the blade 3. For example, the blade 3 may be a quadrilateral, a trapezoid, a fan, a leaf, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of blades 3. The blades 3 may be two, three, four, five or six.

[0031] In some embodiments, at least part of the blades 3 includes a first portion 31 and a second portion 32 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 2; along the direction away from the rotating shaft 2, the length of the first portion 31 extending is greater than the length of the second portion 32 extending, and the first feeding mechanism 8 is used to convey the main material to the first portion 31. By providing a longer first portion 31, the contact area between the blades 3 and the main material can be increased, thereby further improving the pushing effect of the main material on the blades 3, thereby further improving the ability of the rotating assembly to rotate continuously, and promoting continuous automatic mixing of the main material and the auxiliary material.

[0032] The embodiment of the present application does not limit the number of the first part 31 and the second part 32. The first part 31 may be one, two, or three, and the second part 32 may be one, two, or three. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the arrangement of the first part 31 and the second part 32. For example, the first part 31 and the second part 32 may be alternately arranged on the rotating shaft 2, or the first part 31 may be arranged between two second parts 32, or only one first part 31 and one second part 32 may be arranged.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first part 31 and the second part 32 are arranged at intervals, and the movable mechanism further includes a protective cover 4, which is connected to the bracket 1 and clamped between the first part 31 and the second part 32. The protective cover 4 is provided with an active cavity, and the active cavity is used to avoid the rotation of the first part 31. The provision of the protective cover 4 can form an isolation between the first part 31 and the second part 32, which can prevent the main material driven by the first part 31 from contacting the auxiliary material in advance and thus affecting the mixing effect, and can make the auxiliary material contact the main material only when it rotates to contact the main material, so as to control the mixing effect. Since the main material and the auxiliary material are processed separately, the input speed and flow rate of each material can be independently controlled, making the mixing process more accurate and efficient.

[0034] Furthermore, all blades 3 are arranged at equal intervals around the rotating shaft 2. Thus, the volume of each containing groove 7 remains consistent, which can further control the mixing amount of the auxiliary materials and improve the uniform mixing effect.

[0035] In some embodiments, the second feeding mechanism is provided with a feeding trough 5. Along the height direction of the bracket 1, the second feeding mechanism is provided at the top of the rotating assembly so that the feeding trough 5 is connected with the receiving trough 7. The provision of the feeding trough 5 can guide the auxiliary material to be transported into the receiving trough 7. Since the second feeding mechanism is located at the top of the rotating assembly, the auxiliary material can fall into the receiving trough 7 under the action of its own gravity, thereby further promoting the rotation of the rotating assembly under the action of its own gravity, thereby improving the rotation continuity of the rotating assembly. As a result, the auxiliary material has a driving effect on the rotating assembly, and the main material has a driving effect on the rotating assembly. The cooperation between the two further improves the rotation continuity of the rotating assembly, thereby continuously mixing the main material and the auxiliary material.

[0036] In some embodiments, the slot body of the feed trough 5 is clearance-matched with the rotating assembly. In other words, the gap between the slot body of the feed trough 5 and the rotating assembly is very small, but there is a gap between the two that allows the rotating assembly to rotate freely. Therefore, when the auxiliary material in the feed trough 5 is passed into the receiving slot 7 on the rotating assembly, it will not fall from the gap of the rotating outer periphery of the rotating assembly, so that the slot body of the feed trough 5 and the rotating assembly can jointly isolate the main material and the auxiliary material, and can ensure that the auxiliary material is transported and kept above the rotating assembly in accordance with the predetermined rotation direction of the rotating assembly, which helps to maintain a stable material flow and ensure the continuity and consistency of the mixing process. By accurately controlling the gap between the feed trough 5 and the rotating assembly, the auxiliary material can be effectively prevented from being scraped off or splashed out when the blade 3 rotates, reducing material waste. Through precise clearance matching, the auxiliary material can enter the mixing area at the appropriate time and position, so that the mixing process can be better controlled and optimized, and the mixing uniformity can be improved. And the appropriate gap design can reduce the friction resistance between the rotating assembly and the material, and reduce the power to drive the rotating assembly to rotate.

[0037] In this embodiment, optionally, the feeding trough 5 can be a trough body of other shapes such as an oblique trough, a curved trough, or a straight trough.

[0038] Preferably, in some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of ​​the feed trough 5 gradually decreases from top to bottom along the height direction of the bracket 1. Thus, the feed trough 5 is an inclined trough, which helps to guide the auxiliary material to slide downward, while maintaining the stability of the auxiliary material conveying, and is conducive to reducing the accumulation of auxiliary materials, and can reduce the risk of the auxiliary material overflowing during the mixing process.

[0039] In some embodiments, the second feeding mechanism includes two side plates 6, both of which are clamped in the bracket 1, and the two side plates 6 are located on both sides of the rotation direction of the rotating assembly, and are both inclined in the direction of the receiving groove 7 to form the feeding groove 5. Thus, the two side plates 6 are inclined to form the feeding groove 5 at a preset angle, so that the auxiliary material storage in the feeding groove 5 is constant. When the main material is conveyed at a constant speed to make the rotating assembly rotate at a constant speed, the angles of the two side plates 6 control the quantitative entry of the auxiliary material into the receiving groove 7, thereby realizing the quantitative conveying of the auxiliary material.

[0040] In summary, the mixing device 10 provided in the present application has at least the following technical effects: First, it can realize the function of mixing the main material and the auxiliary material by introducing the main material, and stopping the introduction of the main material means stopping the mixing. Second, it can realize the full isolation of the main material and the auxiliary material before mixing, so that the auxiliary material is mixed only when the rotating component rotates to make it contact with the main material, which can better control and optimize the mixing process and improve the mixing uniformity. Third, by setting two inclined side plates 6 to form a feeding trough 5, it is possible to achieve quantitative delivery of the auxiliary material, thereby controlling the mixing amount of the auxiliary material delivered, and further improving the mixing effect.
