Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dough mixer technology, and more specifically, to a dough mixer for producing dough products. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the food processing industry and the increasing demand for automation, the traditional manual dough kneading method has been gradually replaced by dough kneading machines. Dough kneading machines use power devices to mechanically stir the dough, which effectively improves the efficiency and uniformity of dough kneading, greatly reduces the intensity of manual labor, and is one of the indispensable pieces of equipment in industries such as baking and pasta making.
[0003] However, despite the significant progress made in improving production efficiency by existing dough mixers, most dough mixers on the market often have their dough mixing chambers in a completely open or semi-open state during operation. While this open design makes it easy to observe the dough mixing process, it also has some drawbacks: in the initial stage of dough mixing, because the flour and water have not yet formed sufficient viscosity, coupled with the centrifugal force generated by high-speed mixing, a large number of flour particles are easily thrown out of the dough mixing chamber, causing flour to fly around in the working environment and increasing the difficulty of cleaning later. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a dough mixer for the production of flour products. By setting up an umbrella-shaped protective cover and a baffle that is controlled by a drive mechanism to lift and lower, a relatively closed space is formed in the early stage of dough mixing. Flour particles are not easily thrown out of the mixing chamber, avoiding the problem of flour flying around, improving the working environment and reducing the difficulty of cleaning.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a dough mixer for producing dough products, comprising a base, a lifting mechanism provided on one side of the upper surface of the base, a body provided on the output end of the lifting mechanism, a dough separating rod provided at the bottom of the body at the end away from the lifting mechanism, a dough mixing rod provided on one side of the dough separating rod, a spiral dough mixing hook provided at the bottom of the dough mixing rod, a power unit provided on the body for driving the dough mixing rod to rotate, an installation sleeve fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the dough separating rod, a small installation ring fixedly sleeved on the installation sleeve, and a plurality of support rods arranged in a circular array on the small installation ring. The lower ends of the support rods are connected to a large mounting ring. The small mounting ring, the large mounting ring, and several support rods form an umbrella-shaped protective cover. A sliding block is slidably mounted on the top of the umbrella-shaped protective cover. Several first connecting rods are arranged in a circular array on the sliding block. Each of the first connecting rods has a cover plate at its other end. The size of the cover plate is adapted to the hollow area formed by two adjacent support rods, and the cover plate has a clearance hole for the sliding of the dough-making rod. The mounting sleeve is equipped with a driving mechanism for driving the sliding block to slide up and down. A turntable is provided on the base. The turntable is located coaxially below the dough-making rod, and a dough-making bucket is provided on the turntable.
[0006] The present invention is further configured such that: the driving mechanism includes a mounting bracket mounted on the mounting sleeve, a lead screw is vertically mounted on the mounting bracket, one end of the lead screw is connected to a drive motor that drives it to rotate, a moving block is threaded on the lead screw, and a second connecting rod is provided between the moving block and the sliding block.
[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the lifting mechanism is a lifting cylinder, and the output end of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the machine body.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the power unit is a geared motor, the geared motor is fixedly installed inside the machine body, and the output shaft of the geared motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the dough-mixing rod.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Reference Figures 1-2A dough mixer for producing dough products includes a base 1. A lifting mechanism is fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the base 1. A machine body 2 is fixedly installed on the output end of the lifting mechanism. A dough separating rod 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the machine body 2 at the end away from the lifting mechanism. A dough mixing rod 4 is provided on one side of the dough separating rod 3. A spiral dough mixing hook 5 is provided at the bottom of the dough mixing rod. A power unit for driving the rotation of the dough mixing rod 4 is fixedly installed on the machine body 2. An installation sleeve 6 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the dough separating rod 3. A small installation ring 7 is fixedly sleeved on the installation sleeve 6. A plurality of support rods 8 are fixedly arranged in a ring on the small installation ring 7. The lower ends of the plurality of support rods 8 are connected to a large installation ring 9. A large mounting ring 9 and several support rods 8 form an umbrella-shaped protective cover. A sliding block 10 is slidably mounted on the top of the umbrella-shaped protective cover. Several first connecting rods 11 are fixed in a circular array on the sliding block 10. A cover plate 12 is fixed at the other end of each of the first connecting rods 11. The size of the cover plate 12 is adapted to the hollow area formed by two adjacent support rods 8. The cover plate 12 is provided with a clearance hole for the kneading rod 4 to slide. A drive mechanism for driving the sliding block 10 to slide up and down is fixedly mounted on the mounting sleeve 6. A turntable 13 is provided on the base 1. The turntable 13 is located coaxially below the kneading rod 3. A kneading bucket 14 is provided on the turntable 13.
[0021] It is understandable that the positions of the dough rolling rod, dough separating rod 3, turntable 13, and dough rolling bucket are designed for dough kneading, and the detachable connection between turntable 13 and dough mixing bucket 14 are all mature existing technologies, which will not be elaborated here.
[0022] The drive mechanism includes a mounting bracket 15 fixedly mounted on the mounting sleeve 6. A lead screw 16 is vertically rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 15. One end of the lead screw 16 is connected to a drive motor that drives its rotation. A moving block 17 is threaded onto the lead screw 16. A second connecting rod 18 is fixedly provided between the moving block 17 and the sliding block 10.
[0023] After the drive motor starts, it drives the lead screw 16 to rotate. Since the moving block 17 is threadedly sleeved with the lead screw 16, the rotation of the lead screw 16 is converted into the linear motion of the moving block 17. The moving block 17 is connected to the sliding block 10 through the second connecting rod 18. Therefore, the up and down movement of the moving block 17 will drive the sliding block 10 to slide along the mounting sleeve 6. The transmission structure of the lead screw 16 is stable and reliable, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the lifting and lowering of the cover plate 12.
[0024] The lifting mechanism is a lifting cylinder 19, and the output end of the lifting cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the machine body 2.
[0025] The power unit is a geared motor 20, which is fixedly installed inside the machine body 2, and the output shaft of the geared motor 20 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the dough mixing rod 4.
[0026] Working principle: When using this dough mixer, the entire machine body 2 is first raised and lowered by the lifting mechanism. Before kneading, the lifting mechanism raises the machine body 2 to facilitate the operator adding flour to the kneading bucket 14. After adding flour, the lifting mechanism lowers the machine body 2, causing the dough separating rod 3 and the kneading rod 4 to be immersed in the flour in the kneading bucket 14. At this time, the umbrella-shaped protective cover covers the top of the kneading bucket 14, forming a preliminary protection. Subsequently, the drive mechanism starts, pushing the sliding block 10 to slide downward along the mounting sleeve 6. The movement of the sliding block 10 drives the cover plate 12 to move downward through the first connecting rod 11. 2 can just cover the hollow area on the umbrella-shaped cover, thus forming a relatively closed space inside the dough mixing bucket 14. The power unit is started, driving the dough mixing rod 4 to rotate. At the same time, the dough mixing bucket 14 rotates with the turntable 13. The dough separating rod 3 and the spiral dough mixing hook 5 work together to perform the dough mixing operation. In the early stage of dough mixing, because the space is relatively closed, flour particles are not easily thrown out of the dough mixing cavity, avoiding the problem of flour flying. After the dough mixing has been going on for a period of time, the drive mechanism controls the cover 12 to move upward, making it easier to observe the dough mixing situation inside the dough mixing bucket 14 through the hollow area of the umbrella-shaped cover, and also playing a protective role in the dough mixing process.
[0027] The lifting cylinder 19, the reduction motor 20, and the drive motor of this utility model are all electrically connected to the controller to achieve coordinated operation. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the art. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
