Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a locking mechanism for processing sesame balls, and more particularly to a locking mechanism for processing sesame balls. Background Technology

[0002] Sesame balls are honey pills made primarily from black sesame seeds, which are then ground into a fine powder.

[0003] The production of black sesame balls requires black sesame powder and other ingredients, which are heated and mixed before being placed on a sesame ball processing device for shaping. Currently, common stirring devices are used, but these are cumbersome to remove the mixed material, resulting in low production efficiency. Therefore, the applicant has developed a stirring device for sesame ball processing, which includes a suspended, rotating stirring tank. After the material is stirred, it needs to be poured out, meaning the stirring tank has two states: upright and horizontal. Both states require securing the stirring tank, necessitating a locking mechanism for locking it in place. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a locking mechanism for sesame seed processing that can lock the mixing tank.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A locking mechanism for processing sesame balls is characterized by: a crank handle rotatably mounted on a base, one end of the crank handle passing through the base being waist-shaped; two locking rods distributed at 90° around the stirring shaft inside the stirring tank at the end of the stirring tank; a locking blind hole at the end of each locking rod; and a locking notch in the locking blind hole to allow the waist-shaped crank handle to enter; when the opening of the stirring tank faces upward, the locking notch below the stirring shaft faces the material discharge station next to the stirring tank, and the locking notch above the material discharge station faces downward; the diameter of the curved portion of the waist-shaped handle is approximately equal to the diameter of the locking blind hole.

[0007] The base is provided with a limiting rod for restricting the position of the crank handle.

[0008] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0009] This utility model is equipped with a crank handle and a locking rod. The locking rod has a locking blind hole and a locking notch. The inner end of the crank handle is waist-shaped. Whether the mixing tank is in an upright or tilted state, the crank handle is always located in one of the locking blind holes to fix the mixing tank, making it convenient to mix and pour materials and improving production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0018] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0019] The attached figures illustrate specific embodiments of this utility model. Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the locking mechanism for processing sesame balls includes a workbench 1, a material feeding station 2 next to the workbench 1, two bases 3 installed on the workbench 1, a horizontal stirring shaft 4 installed between the upper ends of the two bases 3, a stirring tank 5 fitted on the stirring shaft 4, the stirring tank 5 being able to rotate around the stirring shaft 4, and several stirring blades 401 installed on the stirring shaft 4; the stirring tank 5 is made of two parts integrally: an arc-shaped bottom part 501 and a straight cylindrical part 502.

[0020] A lever 6 is installed on the upper end of the mixing tank 5. Since the mixing tank 5 needs to rotate towards the discharge station 2, the lever 6 is best installed on the side away from the discharge station 2.

[0021] It also includes a locking mechanism: a crank handle 7 is rotatably mounted on one of the bases 3, meaning that the crank handle 7 can rotate. The end of the crank handle 7 after passing through the base 3 is waist-shaped. Two locking rods 8 are installed at the end of the mixing tank 5. The ends of the two locking rods 8 have locking blind holes 801 that are opened inward. The locking blind holes 801 have locking notches 802 that are just large enough to allow the waist-shaped end of the crank handle 7 to pass through. The two locking rods 8 are distributed around the mixing shaft 4. The radii of the two locking rods 8 are perpendicular, and the two locking notches 802 are also perpendicular. When the opening of the mixing tank 5 is facing upward, one locking rod 8 is located at the lower end of the arc bottom part 501, and the locking notch 802 faces the side closer to the material discharge station 2. The other locking rod 8 is located on the side closer to the material discharge station 2, and the locking notch 802 faces downward.

[0022] When the mixing tank 5 is rotated toward the discharge station 2, the locking notch 802 on the lower locking rod 8 faces away from the discharge station 2, while the other locking rod 8 is located away from the discharge station 2, with the locking notch 802 facing downwards.

[0023] The diameters of the two arcs of the crank handle 7 are approximately equal to the diameter of the locking blind hole 801.

[0024] Without external force, the handle part of the crank handle 7 lies on the worktable 1, while the waist-shaped part is in the vertical direction and is located in the locking blind hole 801.

[0025] Since the sesame ball paste is still in a viscous state at this time, and its viscosity is greatly affected by temperature, a heating device 9 is added around the mixing tank 5 in order to make the paste in a viscous state that is easier to form.

[0026] A limiting rod 10 is set on the base 3 so that the crank handle 7 can only be laid flat after it falls.

[0027] The working process is as follows: Place the container for the material on the unloading station. First, pour the material into the mixing tank 5, start the motor to stir the material, and simultaneously start the heating device 9. At this time, the waist-shaped end of the crank handle 7 is located in the locking blind hole 801 at the lower end of the arc-shaped bottom part 501, and the waist-shaped part is vertical, while the crank handle 7 is in a horizontal position. After stirring, lift the crank handle 7 up. At this time, the waist-shaped end is horizontal. Rotate the mixing tank 5 by using the lever 6. The waist-shaped end comes out from the locking blind hole 801 at the lower end of the arc-shaped bottom part 501 and enters another locking blind hole 801. Put down the crank handle 7, and the waist-shaped end becomes vertical again, locking the mixing tank 5. At this time, in addition to the material flowing out by itself, the material can also be manually scooped out. After the material is cleaned up, lift the crank handle 7 again to return the mixing tank 5 to its original position for stirring the next batch of material.
