Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chili production technology, specifically to a horizontal mixing tank for chili production. Background Technology

[0002] Chili peppers belong to the genus Capsicum in the Solanaceae family. They are annual or short-lived perennial herbaceous or shrubby plants, also known as sweet peppers, bell peppers, sweet chilies, and small red chilies. During processing, chili peppers typically require mixing with other ingredients or additives to ensure a consistent taste and flavor in the final product. The mixing process ensures that chili granules or powder are fully dispersed, preventing areas from being too spicy or too mild. Horizontal mixers are highly efficient, capable of thoroughly mixing chili peppers with other ingredients in a short time. Their well-designed mixing blades generate strong shearing and compressive forces, achieving a homogeneous state quickly. Therefore, horizontal mixing equipment is commonly used to improve chili pepper processing efficiency.

[0003] Before using the mixer, ensure the inside is clean and odorless. After cleaning, ensure the mixer is dry to prevent moisture from being generated during mixing, which can affect the taste. Existing horizontal mixers are usually cleaned manually on a regular basis, with workers regularly performing manual cleaning to ensure no residue remains inside. However, manual cleaning is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially for large horizontal mixers with large internal spaces, increasing the difficulty and time required for cleaning. This can lead to decreased production efficiency and failure to meet production demands. Therefore, a horizontal mixing tank for chili peppers is proposed to address the aforementioned problems.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 A horizontal mixing tank for chili peppers includes a horizontal mixing tank body 2 fixedly mounted above a base 1. A feed hopper 4 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the horizontal mixing tank body 2. A mixing shaft 5 is rotatably mounted inside the horizontal mixing tank body 2. Four rectangular support legs 3 are welded between the horizontal mixing tank body 2 and the base 1. This design ensures the stability of the entire equipment structure, enabling it to withstand significant mixing forces and material weight, thus ensuring stability during operation. Control equipment is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the horizontal mixing tank body 2. A feeding structure is installed on the bottom side of the horizontal mixing tank body 2. The mixing shaft 5 is connected to an internal bearing within the horizontal mixing tank body 2, with one end of the mixing shaft 5 extending to the outside of the horizontal mixing tank body 2. The connection between the mixing shaft and the interior of the horizontal mixing tank body via bearings ensures flexible rotation of the mixing shaft while reducing friction and wear, thus extending the service life of the equipment.

[0024] A drive device for driving the stirring shaft 5 is mounted on the upper surface of the base 1. The drive device includes a drive motor 6 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base 1, and transmission wheels 7 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 6 and the stirring shaft 5. A transmission belt 8 connects the two transmission wheels 7. This transmission method offers advantages such as high transmission efficiency, low noise, and easy maintenance. Simultaneously, the transmission belt 8 has a certain degree of elasticity, which can buffer and reduce vibrations and impacts caused by the rotation of the stirring shaft 5 to a certain extent. The drive motor 6 is a dual-shaft motor, with one of its output shafts fixedly connected to the bottom transmission wheel 7. The two transmission wheels 7 are of different sizes. This design allows for variable-speed stirring of the stirring shaft. During stirring, the speed of the stirring shaft 5 can be adjusted as needed to achieve the best stirring effect. Variable-speed stirring not only improves the uniformity of stirring but also prevents excessive centrifugal force from causing stratification or splashing of materials during stirring.

[0025] In this embodiment, a water supply mechanism connected to the stirring shaft 5 is installed on the upper surface of the base 1. The water supply mechanism includes a pump body 9 and a water tank 13 fixedly disposed on the upper surface of the base 1, and a connecting pipe 10 fixedly connected to the output end and the input end of the pump body 9. The end of the connecting pipe 10 connected to the output end is connected to the stirring shaft 5 via a water supply pipe 11. Several spray holes 12 communicating with the outside are opened inside the stirring shaft 5. The pump body 9 includes a pump housing 901, two rotors 903 rotatably disposed inside the pump housing 901, and a support frame 904 welded to the outer surface of the pump housing 901. The other output shaft of the drive motor 6 is connected to one of the rotors 903.

[0026] Specifically, the pump casing 901 has a pump cavity 902 adapted to the two rotors 903, and the bearings of the two rotors 903 are installed in the pump cavity 902. There are two support frames 904, symmetrically arranged, and each support frame 904 has locking bolts for fixing the pump casing 901. A transmission structure is installed on the same side of the two rotors 903 to drive them. The water supply mechanism delivers water from the water tank 13 to the stirring shaft 5 through the pump body 9, and sprays it directly into the material through the nozzles 12 on the stirring shaft 5. This method ensures sufficient contact between water and material, thereby improving the efficiency and uniformity of mixing. Furthermore, the direct injection of water not only aids in material mixing but also, to a certain extent, washes the inner walls of the stirring shaft 5 and the horizontal mixing tank 2, reducing material residue and adhesion, further improving the mixing effect.

[0027] In addition to its basic stirring function, the water supply mechanism also provides the equipment with multiple functions such as humidification and cooling. For example, when stirring materials that are prone to static electricity, such as chili powder, an appropriate amount of water can reduce the generation of static electricity and improve production safety.

[0028] In this embodiment, the water tank 13 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base 1, and the connecting pipe 10, which is connected to the input end of the pump body 9, is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the water tank 13. The water supply pipe 11 is rotatably connected to the stirring shaft 5. A water level observation window or a water level sensor is installed on the water tank 13. The water supply pipe 11 is a flexible hose.

[0029] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0030] In use, the pump body 9 is operated by one of the output shafts of the drive motor 6. The rotation of the rotor 903 generates centrifugal force, which accelerates and outputs the liquid. The liquid in the water tank 13 enters the pump casing 901 from the suction port through the connecting pipe 10. It is accelerated by the rotor 903 and output under the action of centrifugal force. It is transported to the stirring shaft 5 through the water supply pipe 11 and finally sprayed out through the spray hole 12. Then, the other output shaft of the drive motor 6 is started to rotate the stirring shaft 5, thereby realizing the rapid cleaning of the inside of the horizontal stirring tank 2.

[0031] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. Any method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented. In addition, the electrical components in this embodiment are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming. Moreover, the existing disclosed power connection technology is also common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
