[0028] Now, the present utility model will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners. As Figures 1 - 4 shown, the emulsifying device for producing milk-containing beverages according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a plurality of fixed foot plates 1. A plurality of support columns 2 are arranged at the top of the fixed foot plates 1. An emulsifying tank 3 is arranged at the top of the plurality of support columns 2. A feed inlet 4 is arranged on one side of the top of the emulsifying tank 3. A box body 5 is arranged on the other side of the top of the emulsifying tank 3.

A stirring mechanism 8 is arranged in the middle of the emulsifying tank 3. A discharge port 9 is arranged at the bottom of the emulsifying tank 3. An emulsifying observation door 10 is arranged on one side of the emulsifying tank 3.

[0029] By means of the above technical solution, almond milk is fed through the feed inlet 4 and enters the emulsifying tank 3 for stirring, realizing the emulsification of almond milk. At the same time, during the emulsification process, by setting the scraping and cleaning mechanism 7, it is possible to automatically clean viscous substances during emulsification, achieving the purpose of automatic cleaning of viscous substances and preventing accumulation, reducing manual labor for cleaning, thereby improving production efficiency.

By setting the circulation driving mechanism 6, it is possible to drive the scraping and cleaning mechanism, and use the cyclic movement method to realize the lifting of the annular scraper, achieving the purpose of scraping and cleaning the wall.

[0030] In one embodiment, for the above feed inlet 4, a filter screen 11 is arranged inside the feed inlet 4, and fixing blocks 12 are arranged on both sides of the filter screen 11, so as to filter impurities and make the product quality delicate.

[0031] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned cyclic drive mechanism 6, the cyclic drive mechanism 6 includes two gear fixing plates 601 disposed inside the box body 5.

A plurality of first stirring blades 803 are arranged on both sides of the stirring shaft 802, and a second stirring blade 804 is arranged on one side of the top of the first stirring blade 803, so as to reduce viscous substances. And by providing the first stirring blade 803 and the second stirring blade 804, the fineness of the almond milk can be improved, and the quality and output efficiency of the product can be improved.

[0037] The working principle of the stirring mechanism 8: Start the stirring motor 801 to drive the stirring shaft 802 to start running, and the first stirring blade 803 and the second stirring blade 804 rotate accordingly.

[0038] In one embodiment, for the above-mentioned first stirring blade 803, the first stirring blade 803 and the second stirring blade 804 are in a Z-shaped structure, and the transverse length of the first stirring blade 803 is greater than the transverse length of the second stirring blade 804, so as to improve the fineness of the almond milk, and improve the quality and output efficiency of the product.

[0039] To facilitate the understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in the actual process will be described in detail below.

[0040] In actual application, the emulsifying tank 3 generally has a better emulsifying effect on almonds under relative humidity conditions (40% - 60%). And the almonds are soaked in water, and the soaking temperature is generally room temperature (about 20 - 25°C), which makes it easier to emulsify. Use the stirring mechanism 8 to obtain a uniform and stable emulsion. The feed inlet 4 starts to screen the feed through a filter screen. After feeding, emulsification starts. During emulsification, the stirring motor 801 starts to stir, and the first stirring blade 803 and the second stirring blade 804 arranged on the stirring shaft 802 stir, which will make the emulsification effect better. For the viscous substances left after emulsification, after starting the driving motor 607, the second eccentric wheel 606 connects the Y-shaped clamping plate 703 to start moving up and down in the chute 13, driving the connecting plate 702 and the lifting rod 701 to move up and down, and the lifting rod 701 is provided with a plurality of annular scraping plates 704 arranged at equal distances to scrape the wall, cleaning the viscous substances after emulsification, and then collecting the almond milk from the discharge port 9.

At the same time, during the emulsification process, by setting the scraping and cleaning mechanism 7, automatic cleaning of viscous substances can be achieved during emulsification, achieving the purpose of automatically cleaning viscous substances and preventing accumulation, reducing manual labor for cleaning, thereby improving production efficiency. Meanwhile, by feeding through the feed inlet 4 and screening through the filter screen 11, more convenient emulsification can be achieved, improving the product quality of almond milk. By arranging a plurality of stirring blades in the stirring mechanism 8, the purpose of reducing viscous substances can be achieved during emulsification, improving the fineness of almond milk, and improving the product quality and output efficiency. By setting the circulating drive mechanism 6, the scraping and cleaning mechanism can be driven, and the lifting of the annular scraper is realized by means of circular motion, achieving the purpose of scraping and cleaning the wall.
