DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] The health care product ingredient mixing device according to the embodiment of the utility model will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the health care product ingredient mixing device of the embodiment of the utility model can not only locally mix and stir the bottom of the stirring kettle 100 through the stirring rod 230, but also promote the upper and lower mixing of the ingredients in the stirring kettle 100 through the rotation of the spiral blade 240 to form an overall circulation flow, and combine with the blowing device 300 set at the bottom of the stirring kettle 100 to blow air upwards, so as to further promote the stirring between the ingredients, so that the ingredients are mixed more evenly.

[0029] A raw material mixing and stirring kettle for the production of health products with application number CN202322057097.7 (hereinafter referred to as "the patent"), wherein a stirring structure is fixedly connected inside the box body, a transmission rod is fixedly connected above the stirring structure, a first motor is fixedly connected above the transmission rod, fixed rods are fixedly connected on the front and rear sides of the stirring structure, a second gear is fixedly connected inside the stirring structure, a first gear is fixedly connected inside the stirring structure, the first gear and the second gear are connected by a chain, a second stirring rod is fixedly connected below the second gear, a second stirring blade is fixedly connected to the outside of the second stirring rod, a first stirring rod is fixedly connected below the first gear, and a first stirring blade is fixedly connected to the outside of the first stirring rod.

[0030] It can be seen that when the first stirring rod and the second stirring rod rotate in conjunction, the first stirring blade and the second stirring blade rotate respectively with the first stirring rod and the second stirring rod to achieve stirring of the health care product ingredients. However, this method is not suitable for stirring sensitive or structurally fragile ingredients (such as vitamins, probiotics, active proteins, plant extracts, enzyme preparations and microencapsulated ingredients, etc.). Due to the complexity of the patent structure, when the above ingredients are mixed and stirred, the ingredients are subjected to shear force more times, which is easy to cause the nature of the ingredients to be destroyed. For example, vitamins, probiotics, active proteins and other ingredients are very sensitive to shear force. Excessive shear force may cause their molecular structure to be destroyed and lose their original biological activity or nutritional value. For example, the active ingredients in plant extracts and enzyme preparations may be degraded or oxidized due to physical damage under strong stirring, or precipitated from the solution due to severe mechanical action, resulting in the loss of active ingredients; microencapsulation is a technology to protect sensitive ingredients, which isolates environmental influences by wrapping materials in the outer layer; strong stirring may destroy this protective shell, release internal sensitive substances, and affect product stability and effect.

[0031] The health care product ingredient mixing device of the present invention has a stirring rod 230 at the bottom of the rotating shaft 220, and a spiral blade 240 is arranged above the stirring rod 230, so the entire structure is simpler, and the design of a single rotating shaft 220 and a spiral blade 240 generates relatively small shear force during the stirring process, which is very beneficial for sensitive or structurally fragile ingredients such as vitamins, probiotics, active proteins, plant extracts, enzyme preparations and microencapsulated ingredients, and can effectively reduce the physical or chemical damage to these ingredients caused by excessive stirring, thereby maintaining their biological activity and nutritional value.

[0032] In addition, the spiral blades 240 can effectively enhance the upward and downward circulation of the ingredients in the mixing kettle 100, promote the uniform mixing of ingredients of different densities and viscosities, and form a complete ingredient circulation in the mixing kettle 100, while the stirring rod highlights the local stirring at the bottom, making the stirring form in the mixing kettle 100 diversified, ensuring that the materials in the entire mixing kettle 100 can be fully stirred and mixed, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of the mixing.

[0033] This patent enhances the mixing effect by means of multiple stirring rods and multiple stirring blades, but due to the complex structure and insufficient shear force control, it will lead to uneven mixing of materials in some areas, especially when stirring ingredients with large density differences and easy stratification, the mixing uniformity of such ingredients is insufficient.

[0034] The health care product ingredient mixing device of the present invention injects gas upward from the bottom of the stirring kettle 100 through the blowing device 300 (that is, the external air pump 301 pumps the gas into the connecting pipe 330, and passes through the main air duct 310 from the connecting pipe 330, and finally sprays it out from the air nozzle 320), which can make the circulation and mixing of the ingredients more uniform, and is particularly suitable for materials with large density differences and easy stratification. The rising gas injected can drive the bottom material to flow upward and mix better with the top material, thereby achieving more efficient mixing under low shear conditions.

[0035] In addition, the blowing device 300 can also help to clean the sediment on the wall and bottom of the stirring tank 100 to a certain extent, reduce material residue, and facilitate cleaning and maintenance, which is particularly important for production that requires frequent product changes or strict hygiene standards.

[0036] The complex internal structure of this patent increases the difficulty of cleaning, especially the gear and chain parts, which are easy to harbor dirt and are difficult to clean thoroughly, which may affect the purity and quality of different batches of products, especially in the pharmaceutical and food industries.

[0037] The health care product ingredient mixing device of the present invention reduces complex mechanical components (such as multi-stage gears and chains), reduces the complexity of the equipment, and makes the main structure of the stirring device 200 more concise and clear. This not only reduces potential contamination hiding points, but also simplifies the cleaning process, facilitating thorough cleaning and disinfection, which is particularly important for industries with extremely high hygiene requirements such as food processing and pharmaceuticals.

[0038] Moreover, in addition to enhancing material mixing during the production process, the blowing device 300 can also play a role during shutdown cleaning. Through directional blowing, it can assist in removing residual materials and cleaning liquid inside the mixing tank 100, especially for hard-to-reach corners and gaps, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0039] In summary, according to the health care product ingredient mixing device of the embodiment of the utility model, by arranging the spiral blades 240 and the stirring rods 230 in sequence from top to bottom on the rotating shaft 220, it is not only possible to reduce the shearing effect on the ingredients and ensure the stability of the properties of some sensitive or structurally fragile ingredients, but also to achieve local mixing at the bottom through the stirring rod 230, promote the up and down circulation of the ingredients through the spiral blades 240, and combine with the blowing device 300, so that the ingredients can be more evenly stirred in the stirring kettle 100.
