Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing, and in particular to an automatic mixing device for meatball processing. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional meatball processing, mixing and quantitative extraction of raw materials are two crucial steps. However, traditional methods typically rely on manual mixing and weighing, which is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to guarantee uniform mixing and accurate quantitative extraction. With the continuous advancement of automation technology, the market demands increasingly higher levels of automation, mixing efficiency, and quantitative extraction capabilities from meatball processing equipment.

[0003] Currently available automatic mixing devices for meatball processing are divided into manual extraction and machine extraction. However, both methods have drawbacks. Manual extraction is time-consuming and labor-intensive, while machine extraction involves pouring out the mixed raw materials all at once, which cannot meet the quantitative requirements. In addition, the material used to make meatballs is a gel-like substance, which is prone to sticking to the inner wall of the measuring container during quantitative extraction. This not only affects work efficiency but also increases cleaning difficulty and cost.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new automatic mixing device for meatball processing to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an automatic mixing device for meatball processing.

[0006] The automatic mixing device for meatball processing provided by this utility model includes: a base, a column fixedly connected to the top of the base, a mixing cylinder fixedly connected to the middle of the column, a feeding port at the bottom of the mixing cylinder, a mixing paddle rotatably connected to the top of the column extending into the mixing cylinder, a support plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the column near the base, a support frame fixedly connected to the diagonal of the support plate, a sliding groove at the top of the support frame, two metering bins slidably connected to the top of the support plate, a transmission mechanism installed between the two metering bins and the column, and the two metering bins reciprocating on the top of the support plate through the transmission mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, electric push rods are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the mixing cylinder, and extrusion plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two electric push rods respectively. The outer diameter of the two extrusion plates is the same as the inner diameter of the two metering barrels, which ensures the integrity of the raw materials during the extrusion process and avoids adhesion and waste.

[0008] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a motor, a gear, a rack, and a moving plate. The motor is fixedly connected to the column near the mixing cylinder, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the gear.

The moving plate has symmetrically formed grooves that match the metering buckets. The two metering buckets are fixedly connected to the inside of the grooves. The side of the moving plate near the motor is fixedly connected to a rack that meshes with the gear. By driving the gear and rack with the motor, the metering buckets can reciprocate through the support plate, thereby automatically completing the quantitative extraction process of raw materials and ensuring the accuracy of quantitative extraction.

[0009] Preferably, both of the metering bins are rotatably connected to a discharge valve at their bottom.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the base is symmetrically provided with circular grooves corresponding to the extrusion plate, and a receiving bucket is placed in each of the two circular grooves. The circular grooves have a positioning effect, and the operator only needs to place the receiving bucket in the groove to keep it in the same vertical direction as the extrusion plate above.

[0011] Preferably, both receiving buckets are rotatably connected to handles on their outer surfaces, making it convenient for the operator to reprocess the quantitatively removed mixed raw materials.

[0012] Preferably, the two metering bins and the two receiving bins are made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and durability, ensuring the service life of the device and the hygiene and safety of the raw materials.

[0014] High degree of automation:

[0015] This device uses a motor to drive gears and racks, enabling the metering bin to reciprocate along a support plate, thereby automatically completing the process of metering the raw materials.

[0016] The combination of electric push rod and extrusion plate ensures complete extrusion of raw materials in the metering tank, avoiding the tediousness of manual operation;

[0017] Accurate quantification:

[0018] By designing two metering buckets, which alternately match the feeding port of the mixing cylinder under the drive of the moving plate, the metering of raw materials is achieved.

[0019] The outer diameter of the extrusion plate is the same as the inner diameter of the metering barrel, which ensures the integrity of the raw material during the extrusion process and avoids adhesion and waste.

[0020] Easy to operate:

[0021] The operation of this device is simple and straightforward; simply start the motor and electric push rod to complete the quantitative extraction of raw materials.

[0022] The design of the metering bucket and the receiving bucket makes it convenient and quick to take out and collect raw materials. The circular groove on the top of the base has a positioning effect.

[0028] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please see Figures 1 to 3An automatic mixing device for meatball processing includes: a base 1, a column 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, a mixing cylinder 3 fixedly connected to the middle of the column 2, a feeding port 4 at the bottom of the mixing cylinder 3, a mixing paddle 5 rotatably connected to the top of the column 2 extending into the mixing cylinder 3, a support plate 6 fixedly connected to the bottom of the column 2 near the base 1, a support frame 7 fixedly connected to the diagonal of the support plate 6, a sliding groove 71 at the top of the support frame 7, two metering bins 8 slidably connected to the top of the support plate 6, a transmission mechanism 9 installed between the two metering bins 8 and the column 2, the two metering bins 8 reciprocating on the top of the support plate 6 via the transmission mechanism 9, a feeding valve 12 rotatably connected to the bottom of each of the two metering bins 8, and symmetrical openings on the top of the base 1 opposite to the extrusion plate 11. The two circular grooves 13 are respectively placed inside the two circular grooves 13. The outer surfaces of the two receiving barrels 14 are rotatably connected to handles 15. The two metering barrels 8 and the two receiving barrels 14 are made of stainless steel. The transmission mechanism 9 includes: a motor 91, a gear 92, a rack 93 and a moving plate 94. The motor 91 is fixedly connected to the column 2 near the mixing cylinder 3. The output end of the motor 91 is fixedly connected to the gear 92. The moving plate 94 is slidably connected to the bottom of the mixing cylinder 3. The two sides of the moving plate 94 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 71. The moving plate 94 has symmetrically opened grooves 95 that match the metering barrels 8. The two metering barrels 8 are fixedly connected to the grooves 95. The side of the moving plate 94 near the motor 91 is fixedly connected to the rack 93 that meshes with the gear 92.

[0031] It should be noted that: the raw materials to be mixed are put into the mixing tank 3, and the stirring paddle 5 inside the mixing tank 3 is started. The stirring paddle 5 starts to rotate under the drive of the top of the column 2, and the raw materials in the mixing tank 3 are fully mixed. During the mixing process, the moving plate 94 is in a centered position to ensure that the discharge port 4 at the bottom of the mixing tank 3 is sealed to prevent the raw materials from leaking during the mixing process. After the raw materials are mixed evenly, the motor 91 is started. The motor 91 drives the gear 92 to rotate, which in turn drives the rack 93 and the moving plate 94, which are meshed with the gear 92, to start moving left and right. When the moving plate 94 moves to the left, the metering tank 8 on the right is exactly below the mixing tank 3. At this time, the discharge port 4 at the bottom of the mixing tank 3 and the metering tank 8 on the right are completely aligned. The rotation of the stirring paddle 5 pours the fully mixed raw materials into the metering tank 8 on the right. Then, the moving plate... 94 continues to move to the right. When it moves to the right, the left metering tank 8 is completely aligned with the discharge port 4 below the mixing tank 3. Similarly, the mixed raw materials are poured into the left metering tank 8. At this time, the right metering tank 8 is positioned directly above the right receiving tank 14, away from the support plate 6. Its bottom discharge valve 12 is not constrained by the support plate 6 and can open naturally. The mixed raw materials inside begin to flow out from the bottom and fall into the receiving tank 14 directly below due to gravity. Then, the moving plate 94 moves to the left, and the right metering tank 8 is aligned with the discharge port 4 at the bottom of the mixing tank 3. The left metering tank 8 is positioned directly above the left receiving tank 14, away from the moving plate 94. Similarly, the mixed raw materials inside begin to flow out from the bottom and fall into the receiving tank 14 directly below due to gravity. This process is repeated to remove the mixed raw materials from the mixing tank 3 in a metered manner as needed.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 3 Electric push rods 10 are symmetrically fixedly connected to both sides of the mixing tank 3. Extrusion plates 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two electric push rods 10 respectively. The outer diameter of the two extrusion plates 11 is the same as the inner diameter of the two metering tanks 8.

[0034] It should be noted that when the right metering container 8 moves directly below the right electric push rod 10, the electric push rod 10 will start and drive the extrusion plate 11 to move downward. The outer diameter of the extrusion plate 11 is the same as the inner diameter of the metering container 8, so the mixed raw materials in the metering container 8 can be completely squeezed out. When the raw materials in the right metering container 8 are completely squeezed out, the electric push rod 10 drives the extrusion plate 11 to retract and leave the inside of the right metering container 8. Under the action of the transmission mechanism 9, the left metering container 8 moves directly below the left electric push rod 10 and repeats this process. The raw material for making meatballs is a gel-like substance with a certain degree of stickiness. The cooperation between the electric push rod 10 and the extrusion plate 11 can effectively and quickly squeeze out the mixed raw materials in the metering container 8 completely, avoiding sticking and waste.

[0035] The working principle of the automatic mixing device for meatball processing provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0036] Raw material mixing stage:

[0037] The raw materials to be mixed are put into the mixing tank 3, and the stirring paddle 5 in the mixing tank 3 is started. The stirring paddle 5 starts to rotate under the drive of the top of the column 2, and the raw materials in the mixing tank 3 are fully mixed. During the mixing process, the moving plate 94 is in the center position to ensure that the discharge port 4 at the bottom of the mixing tank 3 is sealed to prevent the raw materials from leaking during the mixing process.

[0038] Quantitative extraction stage:

[0039] After the raw materials are mixed evenly, the motor 91 is started. The motor 91 drives the gear 92 to rotate, which in turn drives the rack 93 and the moving plate 94, which mesh with the gear 92, to move left and right. When the moving plate 94 moves to the left, the right metering tank 8 is exactly below the mixing cylinder 3. At this time, the discharge port 4 at the bottom of the mixing cylinder 3 is completely aligned with the right metering tank 8. The fully mixed raw materials are poured into the right metering tank 8 by the rotation of the stirring paddle 5. Then, the moving plate 94 continues to move to the right. When it moves to the right, the left metering tank 8 is completely aligned with the discharge port 4 at the bottom of the mixing cylinder 3. Similarly, the mixed raw materials are poured into the left metering tank 8. At this time, the right metering tank 8 is directly below the right electric push rod 10 after leaving the support plate 6. The discharge valve 12 at its bottom is not affected. The constraint of the support plate 6 can be opened naturally, and the mixed raw materials inside begin to flow out from the bottom under the action of gravity. At the same time, the electric push rod 10 on the right drives the extrusion plate 11 to move downward. Since the outer diameter of the extrusion plate 11 is the same as the inner diameter of the metering tank 8, it can ensure that the raw materials in the metering tank 8 are completely squeezed out, avoiding sticking to the inner wall of the metering tank 8. The squeezed raw materials fall into the corresponding receiving tank 14 at the top of the base 1. At this time, the electric push rod 10 on the right retracts and leaves the inside of the metering tank 8, and the moving plate 94 begins to move to the left. The metering tank 8 on the left leaves the support plate 6 and moves to directly below the electric push rod 10 on the left. Similarly, the electric push rod 10 on the left drives the extrusion plate 11 to move downward and completely squeezes the raw materials into the corresponding receiving tank 14. The above process is repeated to take out the mixed raw materials in the required quantity.

[0040] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
