[0027] Furthermore, the first thermal insulation layer 8 and the second thermal insulation layer 9 are both thermal insulation cotton.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is:

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, during the production process, the raw materials for food production are placed into the reaction tank 2. Aqueous raw materials can be injected into the reaction tank 2 through the feeding tube 20, while powdered raw materials can be added through the feeding port of the reaction tank 2. The desired material is prepared through stirring, mixing, and reaction in the reaction tank 2. (The stirring assembly is not shown in the drawings of the application because its design principle is conventional in the art and is not the main design concept of the application.) The reacted material is then filled into a designated container through a discharge mechanism. The application mainly improves the design of the discharge mechanism, which will be described in detail below.

[0030] First, when the material is injected into the extension tube 31 through the bottom of the reaction tank 2, the material will move in the extension tube 31, and the material will lose heat during the continuous movement. When the material moves to the end of the extension tube 31 close to the positioning component, the material will flow into the discharge pipe 32. The present application is provided with an installation cavity 4 on the positioning component close to the discharge pipe 32 and the extension tube 31, and a heating element 6 is provided in the installation cavity 4. The heating element 6 generates heat. According to the principle of heat transfer, the heat will be transferred to the discharge pipe 32 and the extension tube 31, which has a heating effect on the material, thereby enabling the material to always maintain excellent flow properties, so that the material can flow smoothly at the corner of the extension tube 31 and the discharge pipe 32, and finally be injected into the designated container through the discharge pipe 32.

[0031] As a first embodiment, the positioning assembly can be designed according to the following principle: a fixing seat 71 is provided on the peripheral side of the reaction tank 2, a counterweight 72 is provided on the fixing seat 71, a housing 73 is fixedly provided on the counterweight 72, the space within the housing 73 constitutes the mounting cavity 4, a mounting plate 5 is installed in the housing 73, and a heating element 6 is installed on the mounting plate 5. The housing 73 can be detachably connected to the extension tube 31, for example, by snap-fitting. The heating element 6 refers to a device with a heating function. Since this device is technically very mature, its working principle will not be described in detail herein.

[0032] As embodiment 2, a second insulation layer 9 may be provided on the outer periphery of the extension tube 31, and a first insulation layer 8 may be provided on the outer periphery of the discharge tube 32. The insulation layer may be made of insulation cotton material with insulation effect.

[0033] Based on the above technical solution, since the diameter of the extension tube 31 and the discharge tube 32 is small, it is difficult to clean. Therefore, the present application sets a connecting tube 10 upward from the extension tube 31, and a valve 11 is set inside the connecting tube 10. A liquid guide funnel 12 is connected to the connecting tube 10. When the bend is to be cleaned more effectively, it is only necessary to open the valve 11 and inject cleaning liquid into the liquid guide funnel 12. The cleaning liquid can be used to clean the bend multiple times to improve the cleaning effect. When in a non-cleaning state, it is only necessary to close the valve 11 to isolate the connecting tube 10 from the outside world.

[0034] In order to solve the problem that the extension tube and the discharge pipe are easily blocked at the bend, the present application positions one end of the extension tube on the positioning assembly, and an installation cavity is installed on the positioning assembly. A heating element is provided in the installation cavity. When the material body moves to one end of the extension tube close to the positioning assembly, the heating element generates heat, and the heat is transferred to the material body to prevent the flow performance of the material body from deteriorating and causing blockage.

[0035] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art from this disclosure that various changes or modifications may be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined in the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the disclosed embodiments is intended to illustrate rather than limit the present invention, which shall be defined by the claims.
