[0002] During beverage production, processing is required through a dispensing tank. The dispensing tank, also known as a mixing tank or blending tank, has advantages such as energy conservation, corrosion resistance, strong production capacity, convenient cleaning, and simple structure.

[0003] When the existing dispensing tank is in use, various liquid raw materials and solid raw materials are added to the dispensing tank in a certain proportion, and then the various raw materials are mixed and stirred by the stirring paddle in the dispensing tank to process the required beverage. The liquid raw materials have good fluidity and can be quickly mixed and stirred. However, when adding solid raw materials, they are usually added from a fixed position and in the required amount at one time, resulting in inconvenient subsequent mixing and stirring, a relatively long required stirring time, and affecting work efficiency. If the solid raw materials are added in multiple times, there is a tendency for insufficient addition or stacking and remaining of raw materials, leading to the problem of insufficient addition of raw materials.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a quantitative dispensing tank for beverage production to meet the requirements. Content of the Utility Model

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Embodiment 1: Refer to Figures 1-4 A quantitative dispensing tank for beverage production shown in the figure, including a tank body 1 and a tank cover 2. The tank body 1 is a shell with a transparent top. The bottom of the tank body 1 is provided with support legs 5 for support and a discharge port 4 for discharging. An electromagnetic valve for controlling its opening and closing is provided on the discharge port 4;

[0025] The top of the tank body 1 is further provided with the tank cover 2 adapted to its size. The tank cover 2 and the tank body 1 enclose a closed dispensing tank. A stirring paddle 9 for mixing and stirring the beverage is further provided inside the tank body 1. The stirring paddle 9 is driven by a stirring motor 3; The stirring paddle 9 is a propeller-type stirring paddle and is installed on the side wall below the tank body 1;

[0026] The tank cover 2 is provided with a liquid inlet 6 and a solid inlet 7 that communicate with the interior of the tank body 1. There are three groups of the liquid inlets 6, which are arranged in an annular array around the center of the tank cover 2. A flow sensor is also installed at the liquid inlet 6. Under the monitoring of the flow sensor, the amount of various liquid raw materials added can be obtained, realizing quantitative addition.

[0027] The tank cover 2 is also provided with a material distribution component corresponding to the position of the solid inlet 7. Under the action of the material distribution component, the solid raw materials are evenly added to the tank body 1.

[0028] Material distribution component: As Figure 3 shown, by distributing the solid raw materials through the distribution plate 12, they evenly fall into the tank body 1, shortening the mixing time between the solid raw materials and the liquid raw materials and improving work efficiency;

[0029] The material distribution component includes a distribution plate 12 and a servo motor 8. The servo motor 8 is installed on the tank cover 2. The output end of the servo motor 8 is located inside the mixing tank and is connected to the distribution plate 12. The distribution plate 12 corresponds to the position of the solid inlet 7. The distribution plate 12 is a frustum-shaped shell with a transparent bottom, and a plurality of material passing holes are opened on the distribution plate 12. The material passing holes are opened on the inclined surface of the distribution plate 12 and are located below the solid inlet 7. When the solid raw materials are added to the distribution plate 12, they roll along the distribution plate 12 under the action of their own gravity and fall into the tank body 1, or pass through the material passing holes and fall into the tank body 1, or rotate with the distribution plate 12 and fall into the tank body 1 under the action of centrifugal force;

[0030] The material distribution component further includes a guiding ring 11 and a ring plate 10. The outer wall of the ring plate 10 is connected to the bottom of the tank cover 2, and the guiding ring 11 is connected to the inner wall of the ring plate 10. A connecting rod 13 corresponding to the position of the guiding ring 11 is also provided on the distribution plate 12. The connecting rod 13 is slidably connected to the guiding ring 11. The guiding ring 11 is provided with a guiding inclined surface. Under the guidance of the guiding inclined surface, the connecting rod 13 and the distribution plate 12 move in the vertical direction. The inner diameter of the guiding ring 11 is larger than the diameter of the bottom of the distribution plate 12, that is, there is a gap between the guiding ring 11 and the distribution plate 12, and the solid raw materials can pass through this gap and fall into the tank body 1.

[0031] The output end of the servo motor 8 is sequentially connected with a baffle 17 and a driving rod 15. The cross-section of the driving rod 15 is flower-shaped. A driving groove 14 adapted to the driving rod 15 is opened on the distribution plate 12. A spring 16 is also press-fitted between the distribution plate 12 and the baffle 17. Under the elastic force of the spring 16 and in cooperation with the guiding inclined surface on the guiding ring 11, the distribution plate 12 vibrates with the guiding ring 11 under the drive of the servo motor 8, shaking off the materials adhering to the distribution plate 12.

[0032] Working principle of this utility model: When in use, connect the electrical appliance device to power supply, add liquid raw materials through the liquid feed port 6 on the tank cover 2. The flow sensor at the liquid feed port 6 detects the amount of the added liquid raw materials, and add solid raw materials into the tank body 1 through the solid feed port 7;

[0033] First, add the liquid raw materials. When half of the liquid raw materials are added, control the stirring motor 3 to work, drive the stirring paddle 9 in the tank body 1 to rotate, stir the liquid raw materials, and at the same time add the weighed solid raw materials into the tank body 1. At the same time, control the servo motor 8 to work and rotate, drive the baffle 17 and the driving rod 15 to rotate. Since the cross-section of the driving rod 15 is flower-shaped and is adapted to the driving groove 14 on the distributing plate 12, the distributing plate 12 is driven to rotate, so that the connecting rod 13 rotates on the guiding ring 11. After the solid raw materials are added on the distributing plate 12, part of the solid raw materials pass through the distributing holes on the distributing plate 12 and fall into the tank body 1, and part of the raw materials roll along the distributing plate 12 under the action of their own gravity, pass through the gap between the distributing plate 12 and the guiding ring 11, and fall into the tank body 1. The remaining raw materials rotate with the distributing plate 12 and finally fall into the tank body 1 either through the distributing holes or through the gap, realizing the uniform addition of solid raw materials;

[0034] Part of the solid raw materials will adhere to the distributing plate 12. When the distributing plate 12 drives the connecting rod 13 to rotate, the connecting rod 13 slides on the guiding inclined plane of the guiding ring 11. Under the guiding of the guiding inclined plane, the connecting rod 13 and the distributing plate 12 move upward. The distributing plate 12 slides upward along the driving rod 15. At the same time, the spring 16 between the distributing plate 12 and the baffle 17 is compressed. When the connecting rod 13 separates from the guiding inclined plane, under the elastic force of the spring 16, drive the distributing plate 12 and the connecting rod 13 to reset, contact with the guiding ring 11, and generate vibration, shake off the materials adhering to the distributing plate 12, realizing the uniform addition of solid materials and ensuring the accuracy of the addition amount. After the mixing and stirring are completed, control the solenoid valve at the discharge port 4 to open, and discharge the mixed beverage from the dispensing tank.
