Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-cleaning mixing technology, and in particular to a self-cleaning mixer. Background Technology
[0002] A mixer is a machine that uses a bladed shaft to rotate within a cylinder or trough, mixing various raw materials to create a mixture or a suitable consistency. Mixers come in various sizes, from large concrete mixers to small kitchen food mixers. Smaller mixers are mostly vertical, meaning the rotating shaft is set vertically. After use, mixers require cleaning, usually by hand washing or high-pressure water rinsing, making cleaning relatively troublesome.
[0003] Chinese patent application number CN218222247U discloses a self-cleaning mixer. This design uses a limiting component to select whether the mixing rod is clamped or not. When the mixing rod is clamped, it remains tilted, and the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the mixing rod to perform normal mixing. When cleaning is required, clean water is injected into the mixing tank, and then the clamping of the mixing rod is released. Subsequently, the motor starts, and under the action of centrifugal force, the mixing rod enters a horizontal state, and the brush plate contacts the inner wall of the mixing tank. At the same time, the telescopic device continuously extends and retracts, allowing the brush plate to move up and down while rotating, thereby completing a thorough cleaning of the inner wall of the mixing tank. After cleaning, the valve is opened to discharge the wastewater, thus achieving self-cleaning. However, when mixing viscous materials in the mixing tank, the inner wall is difficult to clean, and the overall utilization rate is low due to the use of separate cleaning parts.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a self-cleaning mixer. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a self-cleaning mixer. Through the spiral stirring blade, stirring scraper, and stirring cutter, the water in the cleaning tank is driven from bottom to top by the spiral stirring blade, which prevents impurities in the tank from settling to the bottom and causing residue on the inner wall. At the same time, it can also turn the bottom material up during stirring.
