Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of yogurt preparation technology, and in particular to a yogurt preparation stirring device. Background Technology

[0002] Yogurt is a sweet and sour milk beverage made from milk. After pasteurization, beneficial bacteria (fermenting agents) are added to the milk, and the milk is fermented before being cooled and packaged. Most yogurt products on the market are set-type, stirred-type, and fruit-flavored types with added fruit juices, jams, and other ingredients.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN220292947U, which discloses a yogurt stirring and temperature control device. The patent addresses the issue that yogurt, being quite viscous, often leaves residue on the inner wall of the stirring device after stirring, making cleaning and unloading difficult. The patent addresses this by energizing an electromagnet after stirring, causing an iron block to move towards the electromagnet and thus a scraper to contact the inner wall of the stirring chamber. During unloading, a motor drives a rotating shaft and mounting plate, scraping off the residual yogurt from the inner wall of the stirring chamber, resulting in cleaner and faster unloading. However, in existing technologies, yogurt ingredients are added layer by layer, with distinct layers during stirring. The aforementioned device uses horizontal stirring blades, making rapid mixing difficult, leading to low stirring efficiency and uneven mixing.

[0004] To address this issue, we propose a yogurt preparation stirring device to solve the problems of low stirring efficiency and uneven stirring in existing yogurt preparation stirring technologies. Utility Model Content

[0034] Example 1

[0035] This embodiment is a yogurt preparation stirring device.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , Figure 1 and Figure 2 These are, respectively, an elevation view and a cross-sectional view of a yogurt preparation stirring device, a yogurt preparation stirring device, a stirring tank 1, a feeding component and a stirring component;

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This utility model relates to a stirring device for preparing yogurt. Figure 2 Enlarged view of part A. The feeding assembly includes a material box 20 connected to the upper end of the mixing tank 1. The material box 20 is equipped with a small stirrer 21. The raw materials to be added can be placed in the material box 20 and filled with the solution required for yogurt processing. Then, the small stirrer 21 is started to mix the raw materials in the material box 20 into an aqueous solution for addition.

[0038] The lower end of the material box 20 is connected to a telescopic pipe 22 with a valve. The telescopic pipe 22 passes through and enters the mixing tank 1, and is connected to a discharge port 23. The mixing tank 1 is equipped with a lifter 24, which is used to control the up and down movement of the discharge port 23. The stirring assembly is used to stir and mix the raw materials inside the mixing tank 1. In use, after the raw materials and solution are stirred evenly, the valve of the telescopic pipe 22 is opened, allowing the added solution to be discharged from the discharge port 23 through the telescopic pipe 22. At the same time, the lifter 24 is activated, which drives the discharge port 23 to move up and down, thereby allowing the added solution to enter the mixing tank 1 at different heights. This, combined with the stirring assembly, ensures that the added solution is fully mixed with the original solution.

[0039] The technical effect of this embodiment is that it provides a yogurt preparation stirring device. By setting the feeding component, it is easy to make the added raw materials and the solution in the stirring tank evenly, improve the stirring efficiency, and avoid the problem that the added raw materials float on the top layer of the preparation solution and the bottom layer is difficult to mix.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Based on Example 1, this example is a further design of a yogurt preparation stirring device.

[0042] Furthermore, the small stirrer 21 includes a motor installed in the middle of the upper part of the material box 20. The lower end of the motor is connected to a stirring shaft that passes through the material box 20, and several stirring blades are connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft. In use, by starting the motor, the motor drives the stirring shaft and stirring blades to rotate, thereby stirring the added solution in the material box 20 and improving the mixing efficiency.

[0043] The side wall of the material box 20 is connected to the bottom side wall of the mixing tank 1 via a water pump 28, which is installed on the outer side wall of the mixing tank 1. Both ends of the water pump 28 are connected to the material box 20 and the mixing tank 1 via conduits. After the raw materials to be added are placed into the material box 20, the water pump 28 is started. The water pump 28 draws the solution from the mixing tank 1 into the material box 20 through the conduits, thoroughly mixing it with the added raw materials. This avoids using external solutions, which could lead to an imbalance in the proportion of raw materials used in yogurt preparation and affect the preparation effect.

[0044] The lifting device 24 includes an electric push rod 25 connected to the inner top of the mixing tank 1. The lower end of the electric push rod 25 is connected to the discharge port 23. A sliding rod 26, which passes through the discharge port 23, is connected inside the mixing tank 1. Several binding blocks 27 are connected between the outer surface of the telescopic tube 22 and the sliding rod 26. One end of the binding block 27 is wrapped around the mixing tank 1, and the other end is passed through the sliding rod 26 and slidably connected to the sliding rod 26, so that the telescopic tube 22 can extend and retract vertically along the sliding rod 26. This prevents the telescopic tube 22 from being twisted by the stirring solution and becoming entangled with the stirring components, causing equipment damage. The sliding rod 26, which passes through the discharge port 23, also serves to enhance the stability of the discharge port 23.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 This utility model relates to a yogurt preparation stirring device. Figure 2 Enlarged view of part B. The stirring assembly includes a bidirectional motor 30 located at the center of the bottom of the stirring tank 1. The upper end of the bidirectional motor 30 is connected to a stirring shaft 31. Several stirring blades 32 are connected to the outer surface of the stirring shaft 31. The lower end of the bidirectional motor 30 is connected to two driving wheels 34 through a pulley mechanism 33. The opposing sides of the two driving wheels 34 are connected to driven wheels 35 surrounding the bottom of the stirring tank 1. A base 10 is connected to the bottom of the stirring tank 1, and several stirring blades 11 are connected to the inner side wall of the stirring tank 1. In use, by starting the bidirectional motor 30, the bidirectional motor 30 drives the stirring shaft 31 and the stirring blade 32 to rotate, stirring and mixing the solution inside the stirring tank 1. At the same time, the bidirectional motor 30 drives the two driving wheels 34 to rotate synchronously through the belt pulley mechanism 33. The two driving wheels 34 drive the middle driven wheel 35 to rotate, and the driven wheel 35 drives the stirring tank 1 to rotate. The stirring tank 1 drives the stirring blade 11 to stir the internal solution. The stirring blade 11 rotates in the opposite direction to the stirring blade 32, which increases the stirring rate and enhances the stirring effect.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a perspective view of the internal structure of the mixing tank of a yogurt preparation mixing device according to this utility model. The pulley mechanism 33 is located inside the base 10, and both drive wheels 34 are rotatably connected to the base 10. The pulley mechanism 33 is a double-layer pulley with opposite orientations, which facilitates connection with the drive wheels 34 on both sides of the mixing tank 1.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This utility model relates to a stirring device for preparing yogurt. Figure 5 Enlarged view of part C. The upper outer edge of the base 10 is provided with several ball bearings 101 to reduce the friction between the base and the mixing tank 1 and facilitate the rotation of the mixing tank 1.

[0048] The technical effects of this embodiment are as follows: A yogurt preparation stirring device is provided. Through the feeding component, the lifting device drives the discharge port to rise and fall, thereby allowing the mixed liquid to be discharged vertically along the inner wall of the stirring tank, improving the mixing efficiency and enhancing the mixing uniformity. Through the stirring component, the bidirectional motor drives two driving wheels to rotate synchronously through the belt pulley mechanism. The two driving wheels drive the middle driven wheel to rotate, and the driven wheel drives the stirring tank to rotate. The stirring tank drives the stirring blade three to stir the internal solution. The stirring blade three rotates in the opposite direction to the stirring blade two, increasing the stirring rate and enhancing the stirring effect.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] To make the structure in Example 1 or 2 clearer, this example describes its usage.

[0051] Step S1: Add the raw materials into the material box 20, draw the solution from the inside of the mixing tank 1 and fill it into the material box 20, and start the small stirrer 21 to stir and mix the raw materials.

[0052] Step S2: Open the valve of the telescopic pipe 22 to allow the mixture to be transported through the telescopic pipe 22 to the discharge port 23 and discharged into the mixing tank 1.

[0053] Step S3: While opening the valve of the telescopic pipe 22, start the lifting device 24. The lifting device 24 drives the discharge port 23 to rise and fall, so that the mixture is discharged vertically along the inner wall of the mixing tank 1.

[0054] Step S4: Restart the stirring component 3 to perform the stirring operation and complete the feeding operation.

[0055] The technical effects of this embodiment are as follows: using this invention to prepare yogurt can improve mixing efficiency and enhance mixing uniformity; it can also increase stirring speed and enhance stirring effect.

[0056] In summary, the feeding assembly enables the lifting device to raise and lower the discharge port, allowing the mixed liquid to be discharged vertically along the inner wall of the mixing tank, thus improving mixing efficiency and enhancing mixing uniformity. The stirring assembly enables a bidirectional motor to drive two driving wheels synchronously via a pulley mechanism. These two driving wheels drive the driven wheel in the middle to rotate, which in turn drives the mixing tank to rotate. The mixing tank then drives the third stirring blade to stir the internal solution. The third stirring blade rotates in the opposite direction to the second stirring blade, increasing the stirring rate and enhancing the stirring effect. This invention effectively overcomes the various shortcomings of existing technologies and possesses original innovation.
