[0002] Filling stirring is an important link in food processing, mainly to make the filling fully blend with various ingredients, make the filling more uniform, and make the filling more elastic and the color more vivid.

[0003] Generally, a mixer is used for filling stirring operation at present. The traditional mixer mainly consists of a hopper, a stirrer and a driving motor part for driving the stirrer to act. The filling is placed in the hopper, the stirrer rotates to drive the filling to be fully stirred, and the motor stops after stirring is completed. When feeding, the filling needs to be manually taken out of the hopper. Such operation is rather cumbersome, requires repeated scooping, has a large labor intensity, and there is residual filling. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the above disadvantages and provide a mixer with automatic feeding for automatic feeding and reducing the labor intensity during filling feeding.

[0005] The utility model is realized by the following technical scheme: A mixer with automatic feeding, characterized in that: it includes a frame and a square hopper rotatably arranged on the frame. An opening is formed above the square hopper. A stirring mechanism for stirring materials is arranged in the square hopper. A first rotating shaft is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the square hopper, and the first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the frame. A first driving component for driving the first rotating shaft to rotate is arranged on the frame. When the square hopper rotates downward, the side of the square hopper can form a limit with the frame, so that the opening of the square hopper rotates from the upper part to the side part position for feeding.

[0006] In the above mixer with automatic feeding of the utility model, the square hopper is rotatable. During stirring, the opening of the hopper faces upward, and the stirring mechanism is used for material stirring work. After stirring is completed, the stirring mechanism stops, and the first driving component drives the square hopper to rotate downward, so that the opening of the square hopper is placed at the side part of the frame, which is convenient for the material to slide out from the opening of the hopper by its own gravity, thus realizing automatic feeding and reducing the labor intensity of taking materials.

[0007] As a further improvement, the stirring mechanism includes two groups of stirring components arranged at intervals, each group of stirring components includes a stirring rod arranged in a square hopper, and stirring shafts arranged at both ends of the stirring rod, the stirring shafts are rotatably arranged with the square hopper and extend out of both ends of the square hopper, one end of the stirring shaft is connected to the second driving component and drives it to rotate, the second driving component is fixedly arranged on the side of the square hopper, the corresponding ends of the stirring shafts of the two groups of stirring components are provided with pulleys, and the two pulleys are driven by a belt, so that one of the stirring shafts can drive the adjacent group of stirring components to rotate during the rotation process. Two groups of stirring components with synchronous stirring actions are used, which can improve work efficiency.

[0008] As a further improvement, the mixer is also provided with a feeding mechanism, which includes a feeding trolley and a turning mechanism for driving the feeding trolley to turn over and feed the materials;

[0009] The flip mechanism includes a third drive motor installed on the side wall of the frame, a rotating arm having one end fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third drive motor and extending in the radial direction of the output shaft, and a frame fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating arm, the frame includes a cross bar extending in the horizontal direction, and two side arms respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the cross bar perpendicular to the cross bar, one of the side arms is fixedly connected to the rotating arm, and a linear groove is provided on the inner side wall of the adjacent side of the two side arms, an entrance is provided at one end of the linear groove away from the frame, and an opening portion opening downward is provided at the other end of the linear groove close to the frame;

[0010] The material cart comprises a container body which is opened at the top and is located between two side arms. On the two side walls adjacent to the container body and the two side arms, there are respectively provided with straight plate bodies which can cooperate with and penetrate the straight grooves of the corresponding side arms. A convex portion protruding downward is provided at one end of the straight plate body close to the frame. The two straight plate bodies of the material cart are respectively penetrated in the two straight grooves, and the convex portion on the material cart is clamped in the opening portion of the side arm to prevent it from falling out.

[0011] Due to the feeding mechanism, automatic lifting and feeding can be realized, which can greatly reduce the labor intensity during feeding compared with manual lifting of materials. The lifting process is as follows: the material cart is used to load the fillings, and the straight plates on both sides of the material cart are inserted into the two straight slots of the frame, and the convex parts of the straight plates are inserted into the openings of the straight slots to form an anti-slip structure, and then the third drive motor is started to drive the rotating arm to rotate upward, thereby driving the material cart to rotate and be lifted together, and the fillings in the material cart are poured into the square hopper through its opening. After the loading is completed, the rotating arm is reset downward to complete the loading action.

[0012] As a further improvement, the inlet of the linear groove is in a trumpet shape with a large outside and a small inside. Since the inlet of the linear groove is in a trumpet shape, it is convenient for the linear plate body of the material car to be inserted into the linear groove.

[0013] As a further improvement, an anti - detachment component is also provided on the side arm beside the entrance of the linear groove. The anti - detachment component includes a body fixedly arranged on the corresponding side arm. A vertically extending chute is provided on the body, and a retaining piece is slidably arranged in the chute. In the natural state, the retaining piece blocks the entrance of the linear groove to prevent the linear plate body of the trolley from detaching. When the retaining piece is pulled upwards, it moves away from the position of the entrance of the linear groove. Since there is a movable retaining piece, it can further prevent the trolley from detaching, thereby increasing safety. The working process is as follows: When the trolley needs to enter the linear groove, first manually pull up the retaining piece. The retaining piece moves upwards along the chute and moves away from the entrance position of the linear groove. After the trolley is sent into the linear groove and installed in place, under the action of its own gravity, the retaining piece moves downwards and blocks the entrance of the linear groove and blocks the rear end of the linear plate body, thus forming a secondary anti - detachment structure.

[0014] As a further improvement, a foot cup is also provided at the bottom of the body, and the foot cup is thread - adjustably arranged with the body.

[0015] As a further improvement, the mixer further includes a vacuum mechanism. The vacuum mechanism includes a sealing cover for sealingly covering the opening above the square hopper, a rotating assembly connected to the sealing cover for driving its flipping, and a vacuum machine for evacuating. The rotating assembly includes a fourth motor arranged on the frame and a rocker arm connected to the fourth motor. The other end of the rocker arm is fixedly arranged with the sealing cover. The inside of the rocker arm is a hollow structure and the corresponding end is in communication with the sealing cover. The connecting pipe of the vacuum machine communicates with the internal hollow structure of the rocker arm. Thus, when the sealing cover covers the square hopper, the vacuum machine can evacuate the square hopper through the inside of the rocker arm. The mixer is also provided with a vacuum mechanism to evacuate the inside of the square hopper. In this way, the filling can be stirred under vacuum conditions, which can make the filling fully expand, make it have better elasticity, bright color, and also improve the quality of the filling. The specific process of evacuating is as follows: The fourth motor rotates to drive the rocker arm to rotate downwards, thereby driving the sealing cover to buckle the square hopper, thus forming a sealed environment inside the square hopper. The vacuum machine works and evacuates through the inside of the rocker arm, thus forming a vacuum environment in the square hopper. After the stirring is completed, the rocker arm rotates upwards, driving the sealing cover to disengage and reset.

[0016] As a further improvement, a guide hopper is detachably connected beside the opening above the square hopper. Since there is also a guide hopper, it is convenient to guide the material during feeding and avoid the material from falling. The detachable connection structure of the hopper can be a bolt structure, a snap - fastener structure, a plug - pin structure, etc. The guide hopper only needs to be installed during feeding and needs to be removed during stirring.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0018] 1. The utility model relates to a mixer with automatic blanking, in which a square hopper is rotatable. During stirring, the opening of the hopper faces upward, and the stirring mechanism is used for material stirring work. After stirring is completed, the stirring mechanism stops, and the first driving component drives the square hopper to turn downward, so that the opening of the square hopper is placed at the side position of the frame. In this way, it is convenient for the material to slide out from the opening of the hopper by its own gravity, thereby realizing automatic blanking and reducing the labor intensity of material taking.

[0032] The following is a detailed description of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0033] This embodiment relates to a mixer for automatic feeding, as Figures 1-4 shown, including a frame 1 and a square hopper 2 rotatably arranged on the frame 1. An opening is formed above the square hopper 2. A stirring mechanism 3 for stirring materials is arranged in the square hopper 2. A first rotating shaft 21 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the square hopper 2. The first rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the frame 1. A first driving component 22 for driving the first rotating shaft 21 to rotate is arranged on the frame 1. When the square hopper 2 rotates downward, the side of the square hopper 2 can form a limit with the frame 1, so that the opening of the square hopper 2 rotates from the upper part to the side part for feeding. The first driving component is composed of components such as a motor and a reducer.

[0034] For the above - mentioned mixer, the square hopper 2 is rotatable. During stirring, the opening of the hopper faces upward, and the stirring mechanism 3 is used for material stirring work. After stirring is completed, the stirring mechanism 3 stops, and the first driving component 22 drives the square hopper 2 to rotate downward, so that the opening of the square hopper 2 is placed at the side part of the frame 1. In this way, it is convenient for the material to slide out from the opening of the hopper by its own gravity, thus realizing automatic feeding and reducing the labor intensity of material taking.

[0035] As a further improvement, as Figures 3-4As shown in the figure, the stirring mechanism 3 includes two sets of stirring components 31 arranged at intervals. Each set of stirring components 31 includes a stirring rod 311 disposed in the square hopper 2 and stirring shafts 312 disposed at both ends of the stirring rod 311. The stirring shafts 312 are rotatably arranged with the square hopper 2 and extend out of both ends of the square hopper 2. One end of one of the stirring shafts 312 is connected to the second driving component 32 and drives it to rotate. The second driving component 32 is fixedly arranged on the side of the square hopper 2. Belt pulleys 33 are provided at the corresponding ends of the stirring shafts 312 of the two sets of stirring components 31, and the two belt pulleys 33 are driven by a belt 34, so that one of the stirring shafts 312 can drive the adjacent other set of stirring components 31 to rotate during the rotation process. Two sets of stirring components 31 with synchronous stirring actions are adopted, which can improve the working efficiency. The second driving component is also composed of components such as a motor and a reducer.

[0036] As a further improvement, as Figures 1-2 shown in FIGS. 5 and 5-6, the mixer is further provided with a feeding mechanism, and the feeding mechanism includes a material truck 4 and a turning mechanism 5 for driving the material truck 4 to turn over for feeding;

[0037] The turning mechanism 5 includes a third driving motor installed on the side wall of the frame 1, a rotating arm 51 with one end fixedly connected to the output shaft of the third driving motor and extending in the radial direction of the output shaft, and a frame 52 fixedly connected to the other end of the rotating arm 51. The frame 52 includes a cross bar 521 extending in the horizontal direction and two side arms 522 respectively perpendicularly fixed to both ends of the cross bar 521. One of the side arms 522 is fixedly connected to the rotating arm 51. Linear grooves are provided on the inner side walls of the adjacent sides of the two side arms 522. An inlet is provided at the end of the linear groove away from the frame 1, and an opening 524 with a downward opening is provided at the other end of the linear groove close to the frame 1;

[0038] The material truck 4 includes a container body 41 with an upward opening and located between the two side arms 522. Linear plate bodies 42 capable of being cooperatively inserted into the linear grooves of the corresponding side arms 522 are respectively provided on the two side walls of the container body 41 adjacent to the two side arms 522. A convex portion 43 protruding downward is provided at the end of the linear plate body 42 close to the frame 1. The two linear plate bodies 42 of the material truck 4 are respectively inserted into the two linear grooves, and the convex portion 43 on the material truck 4 is clamped in the opening 524 of the side arm 522 to prevent it from coming out.

[0039] Due to the feeding mechanism, automatic lifting and feeding can be achieved. Compared with manually lifting materials, the labor intensity during feeding can be greatly reduced. The lifting process is as follows: The material cart 4 is used to load the filling. The linear plates 42 on both sides of the material cart 4 are inserted into two linear grooves of the frame 52. The convex parts 43 of the linear plates 42 are snapped into the opening parts 524 of the linear grooves to form an anti-detachment structure. Subsequently, the third driving motor is started to drive the rotating arm 51 to rotate upward, thereby driving the material cart 4 to rotate and be lifted together. The filling in the material cart 4 is poured into the square hopper 2 through its opening. After the feeding is completed, the rotating arm 51 resets downward to complete the feeding action.

[0040] As a further improvement, as Figure 5 shown, the entrance of the linear groove is in the shape of a horn with a larger outer diameter and a smaller inner diameter. Since the entrance of the linear groove is in the shape of a horn, it is convenient for the linear plate 42 of the material cart 4 to be aligned with the linear groove.

[0041] As a further improvement, as Figure 5 、 7 shown, an anti-detachment component 6 is further provided on the side arm 522 beside the entrance of the linear groove. The anti-detachment component 6 includes a body 61 fixedly arranged with the corresponding side arm 522. A vertically extending sliding groove 611 is provided on the body 61. A retaining piece 62 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 611. The retaining piece 62 blocks the entrance of the linear groove in the natural state to prevent the linear plate 42 of the material cart 4 from detaching. When the retaining piece 62 is pulled upward, the retaining piece 62 is disengaged from the position of the entrance of the linear groove. Since the movable retaining piece 62 is provided, the material cart 4 can be further prevented from detaching, thereby increasing safety. The working process is as follows: When the material cart 4 needs to be aligned with the linear groove, the retaining piece 62 is first manually pulled up. The retaining piece 62 moves upward along the sliding groove 611 and disengages from the position of the entrance of the linear groove. After the material cart 4 is sent into the linear groove and installed in place, the retaining piece 62 moves downward under its own gravity and blocks the entrance of the linear groove and blocks the rear end of the linear plate 42, thereby forming a secondary anti-detachment structure.

[0042] As a further improvement, as Figure 5 shown, a foot cup 63 is further provided at the bottom of the body 61. The foot cup 63 is threadedly adjustable with the body 61.

[0043] As a further improvement, as Figures 1-2As shown in the figure, the mixer further includes a vacuum mechanism 7. The vacuum mechanism 7 includes a sealing cover 71 for sealing the opening above the square hopper 2, a rotating assembly connected to the sealing cover 71 for driving its flipping, and a vacuum machine for evacuating. The rotating assembly includes a fourth motor 72 disposed on the frame 1 and a rocker arm 73 connected to the fourth motor 72. The other end of the rocker arm 73 is fixedly provided with the sealing cover 71. The inside of the rocker arm 73 is a hollow structure and the corresponding end is in communication with the sealing cover 71. The connecting pipe of the vacuum machine communicates with the internal hollow structure of the rocker arm 73. Thus, when the sealing cover 71 covers the square hopper 2, the vacuum machine can evacuate the square hopper 2 through the inside of the rocker arm 73. The mixer is also provided with a vacuum mechanism 7 to evacuate the inside of the square hopper 2. In this way, the filling is stirred under vacuum conditions, which can make the filling fully expand, make it have better elasticity, bright color, and also improve the quality of the filling. The specific process of evacuating is as follows: The fourth motor rotates to drive the rocker arm 73 to rotate downward, thereby driving the sealing cover 71 to buckle the square hopper 2, so as to form a sealed environment inside the square hopper 2. The vacuum machine works and evacuates through the inside of the rocker arm 73, so as to form a vacuum environment in the square hopper 2. After the stirring is completed, the rocker arm 73 rotates upward, driving the sealing cover 71 to disengage and reset.

[0044] As a further improvement, as Figures 1-4 shown, a feeding hopper 8 is detachably connected beside the opening above the square hopper 2. Since the feeding hopper 8 is also provided, it is convenient to guide the material during feeding to avoid the material from falling. The detachable connection structure of the hopper can be a bolt structure, a buckle structure, a pin structure, etc. The feeding hopper 8 only needs to be installed during feeding and needs to be removed during stirring.

[0045] Although the present utility model is illustrated and described by specific embodiments and their alternative ways, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be implemented as long as they do not depart from the spirit of the present utility model. Therefore, it should be understood that the present utility model is not limited in any sense except by the accompanying claims and their equivalent conditions.
