Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a gluten mixing device. Background Art

[0002] Gluten is a traditional delicacy. Production involves adding flour to a suitable amount of water and a pinch of salt, stirring thoroughly to form a dough. The dough is then repeatedly rubbed with clean water to remove the active starch and other impurities, leaving behind gluten. To effectively meet growing market demand, gluten production is gradually shifting from manual to automated processes.

[0003] A Chinese patent discloses a gluten production device with a mixing device [Application Number: CN201911133642.8, Publication Number: CN110917936A], comprising: a base, an extruder, and a mixing device. The outlet of the mixing device is connected to the inlet of the extruder via a feed valve; the extruder includes an extrusion housing, an extrusion screw, and an extrusion motor; and the mixing device includes a mixing barrel, a transmission box, a stirring mechanism, a scraper ring, two guide rods, two drive screws, a transmission structure, and a drive motor. Although the technical solution of this patent can effectively produce gluten, as mentioned above, the gluten production process requires a large amount of dough and constant cleaning with clean water. Therefore, during the gluten production process, a small amount of dough will inevitably stick to the interior of the device. The irregular shape of the screw and its internal location make cleaning the interior of the device more difficult. Utility Model Content

[0019] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0020] A gluten mixing device comprises: a shell 1, a mounting plate 2, a driving device 3, and a mixing screw 4. A mixing trough 11 is provided on the shell 1, and the mixing trough 11 is a trough-like structure with an opening at the top and an arc-shaped bottom. A feeding port is also provided on the shell 1, and the feeding port is aligned with the mixing trough 11 so that the input material can enter the mixing trough 11. Alternatively, the material can be directly fed into the mixing trough 11 through the top opening of the mixing trough 11. A water supply pipe is also provided on the shell 1, and the water supply pipe is connected to the water supply equipment. The water outlet of the water supply pipe is aligned with the mixing trough 11 so that water can be added to the mixing trough 11.

[0021] A positioning plate 22 is fixedly provided on the mounting plate 2. The positioning plates 22 are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting plate 2, and bolt through holes are provided on the positioning plates 22 so that the bolts pass through the positioning plates 22 and extend into the shell 1. Thus, the mounting plate 2 and the shell 1 can be fixed together by bolts. A sliding protrusion 21 is provided at one end of the mounting plate 2 close to the ground, and the sliding protrusion 21 extends from one end of the mixing trough 11 to the other end, and a slide corresponding to the sliding protrusion 21 is provided in the shell 1. At the same time, a water outlet pipe is also provided on the mounting plate 2. On the other hand, there are two mixing screws 4, which are arranged in parallel with each other. The mixing screw 4 extends into the mixing trough 11, and the mixing screw 4 is parallel to the mixing trough 11. One end of the mixing screw 4 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 2.

[0022] The driving device 3 includes a power motor 31, a gear set 32, and an assembly plate 33. The assembly plate 33 is approximately L-shaped as a whole. One side of the assembly plate 33 is a plate parallel to the mounting plate 2. The bottom of the assembly plate 33 is arc-shaped to enclose the inner wall of the mixing tank 11 with the mounting plate 2. At the same time, a slider 332 is also provided on the assembly plate 33, and the sliders 332 are respectively provided on both sides of the assembly plate 33, and a slide groove corresponding to the slider 332 is provided in the shell 1. In this way, the assembly plate 33 can slide relative to the shell 1. On the other hand, a connecting rod 331 is also provided on the assembly plate 33. There are two connecting rods 331, and the connecting rods 331 correspond to the mixing screw 4 one by one. The connecting rod 331 passes through the assembly plate 33. The connecting rod 331 is rotatably connected to the assembly plate 33, and a connecting groove 3311 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 331. Correspondingly, a connecting plate 41 is provided at one end of the mixing screw 4 away from the mounting plate 2 , and the connecting plate 41 corresponds to the connecting groove 3311 .

[0023] The gear set 32 ​​is rotatably mounted on the side of the assembly plate 33 away from the mixing screw 4. The gear set 32 ​​includes a driving wheel 321, a transmission wheel 322, and a power wheel 323. There are two driving wheels 321. There are two driving wheels 321, and the driving wheels 321 correspond one-to-one with the connecting rod 331 and are fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 331 away from the mixing screw 4. The two driving wheels 321 are meshed with each other. The transmission wheel 322 is meshed with the driving wheel 321 and the power wheel 323; the power wheel 323 is connected to the output end of the power motor 31. On the other hand, a circuit opening matching the power motor 31 is provided on the housing 1.

[0024] In actual use, flour, salt, and other materials are added to the mixing trough 11 through the feed port, or directly through the opening in the mixing trough 11. Simultaneously, the power motor 31 is started, and driven by the power motor 31, the power wheel 323 rotates. As the power wheel 323 rotates, it simultaneously drives the drive wheel 321 through the transmission wheel 322, which in turn drives the connecting rod 331. Because the connecting plate 41 is inserted into the connecting groove 3311, the mixing screw 4 rotates synchronously with the connecting rod 331. Simultaneously, because the two drive wheels 321 mesh with each other, the two mixing screws 4 rotate simultaneously, mixing the materials together. As the mixing screws 4 mix the materials, a water supply pipe continuously supplies clean water to the mixing trough 11. After mixing with the flour to form dough, the water continuously flushes the dough. The flushing water is then discharged from the mixing trough 11 through the outlet pipe. This is how gluten is produced.

[0025] When the equipment needs to be cleaned, the bolts on the positioning plate 22 are removed, allowing the mounting plate 2 to slide relative to the housing 1. At this point, the mounting plate 2 is pushed, and it slides relative to the housing 1 via the sliding protrusions 21. As the mounting plate 2 slides, it drives the mixing screw 4 to slide synchronously, causing the connecting plate 41 to disengage from the connecting groove 3311. Furthermore, because the sliding protrusions 21 extend from one end of the mixing trough 11 to the other, i.e., the sliding protrusions 21 are sufficiently long, the sliding distance of the mounting plate 2 is sufficient to completely disengage the mixing screw 4 from the mixing trough 11, thereby completely exposing the mixing screw 4 to the outside. At this point, the mixing screw 4 can be cleaned.

[0026] After cleaning the mixing screw 4, the assembly plate 33 can be pushed, causing it to slide relative to the housing 1. As the assembly plate 33 slides, it causes the gear set 32 ​​and the power motor 31 to slide synchronously. Ultimately, the gear set 32 ​​and the power motor 31 are separated from the housing 1 until the curved bottom of the assembly plate 33 contacts the mounting plate 2 again. At this point, the gear set 32 ​​and the power motor 31 are completely separated from the housing 1, allowing maintenance on the gear set 32 ​​and the power motor 31.

[0027] In summary, the present invention greatly facilitates the separation of the mixing screw 4 from the housing 1, thereby making it easier for workers to clean a small amount of dough stuck on the mixing screw 4 and in the mixing trough 11. At the same time, it greatly facilitates the separation of the gear set 32 ​​and the power motor 31 from the housing 1, thereby facilitating maintenance by workers.

Persons skilled in the art may make various modifications, additions, or substitutions to the described specific embodiments without departing from the spirit of the present invention or exceeding the scope defined by the appended claims.
