[0002] As an indispensable condiment in daily life, the production process and equipment of sauces directly affect the quality and safety of the products. In the sauce production process, the mixing tank is a crucial piece of equipment, used to mix, stir, heat or cool various raw materials to ultimately form a uniform sauce product.

[0003] Traditional sauce mixing tanks typically include a mixing bowl, a mixing device, a heating / cooling device, and inlet and outlet ports. Among these, the mixing device is a key component affecting the uniformity of sauce mixing. However, existing mixing devices, such as paddle or anchor mixers, can usually only mix sauce at a single height. Due to the limited mixing range, it is difficult to fully mix sauce at different heights, which can easily lead to clumping, layering, and other phenomena, affecting product quality, prolonging the production cycle, and increasing energy consumption.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a mixing tank for sauce production, which has the following features:

[0017] Beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The adjusting screw is driven by the drive device to rotate. When the adjusting screw is connected to the stirring shaft, the stirring shaft drives the prism, stirring rod and stirring plate to rotate, so as to mix the sauce. When the adjusting screw is disconnected from the stirring shaft, the height of the prism, stirring rod and stirring plate is adjusted by the relative rotation of the adjusting screw and the prism, which improves the mixing effect. The scraper makes it easy to scrape the inner wall of the mixing tank to prevent the sauce from sticking.

[0019] 2. The clamping cylinder drives the clamping plate to move, which in turn moves the connecting block. The connecting block then moves the snap-fit ​​block, thereby disconnecting the stirring shaft from the adjusting screw. The anti-slip pad fixes the position of the stirring shaft, facilitating the adjustment of the height of the stirring rod, stirring plate, and scraper. When the clamping plate leaves the connecting block, the snap-fit ​​block extends under the elastic force of the snap-fit ​​spring, connecting the stirring shaft and the adjusting screw. The switching method is simple and convenient.

[0020] 3. By setting up a water injection pipe, control valve and water injection tank, it is easy to inject water into the mixing bucket to adjust the consistency of the sauce. At the same time, the heating pipe heats and sterilizes the water in the inner tank, which is convenient for subsequent mixing and use. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5A mixing tank for sauce production includes a mixing tank 1, a mixing shaft 2 on the mixing tank 1, an adjusting screw 3 rotatably mounted on the mixing shaft 2, a prism 4 slidably mounted on the mixing shaft 2, the adjusting screw 3 being threadedly connected to the prism 4, a mixing rod 5 and a mixing plate 6 at the bottom of the prism 4, a driving device on the adjusting screw 3, a locking groove 7 on the adjusting screw 3, locking blocks 8 symmetrically slidably mounted within the locking groove 7, and locking springs 9 between the locking blocks 8, and symmetrical adjusting grooves 10 on the mixing shaft 2, with adjusting blocks 11 slidably mounted on the adjusting grooves 10 to cooperate with the locking blocks 8. The mixing tank 1 is equipped with a feeding pipe 12 and a water tank 13. The water tank 13 is equipped with an inner liner 14. A heating pipe 15 is provided between the water tank 13 and the inner liner 14. A heat-conducting plate 16 is provided inside the inner liner 14. The water tank 13 is equipped with a cover plate 17. The driving device includes a drive motor 18. The drive motor 18 and the adjusting screw 3 are equipped with pulleys 19. A transmission belt 20 is provided between the pulleys 19. A water injection pipe 28 is provided between the water tank 13 and the mixing tank 1. A control valve 29 is provided on the water injection pipe 28. A scraper 30 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the stirring rod 5.

[0031] In this embodiment, during use, sauce ingredients are added to the mixing tank 1 through the feeding pipe 12. The drive motor 18 is started, and through the cooperation of the pulley 19 and the transmission belt 20, the adjusting screw 3, the stirring shaft 2, and the prism 4 are driven to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod 5 and the stirring plate 6 to rotate. At the same time, the scraper 30 is driven to rotate to prevent the sauce from sticking to the mixing tank 1. The cover plate 17 is opened to add water to the water tank 13, and the water in the inner tank 14 is heated and sterilized through the heating pipe 15. Then, the control valve 29 is opened to inject water into the mixing tank 1 through the water injection pipe 28. This can adjust the viscosity of the sauce and also clean the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, improving its practicality.

[0032] Please see Figures 4-5 As one embodiment of connecting the stirring shaft 2 and the adjusting screw 3: the adjusting groove 10 is provided with a sliding groove 21, the adjusting block 11 is provided with a sliding block 22 that cooperates with the sliding groove 21, the snap-fit ​​block 8 is provided with a plurality of balls 23, the stirring tank 1 is provided with a clamping frame 24, the clamping frame 24 is provided with a clamping cylinder 25, the output end of the clamping cylinder 25 is provided with a clamping plate 26, and the clamping plate 26 is provided with an anti-slip pad 27.

[0033] More specifically, when adjusting the height of the stirring rod 5 and the stirring plate 6, the clamping cylinder 25 is activated. The clamping cylinder 25 drives the clamping plate 26 to move towards the stirring shaft 2. The stirring plate 6 presses against the adjusting block 11, and the adjusting block 11 drives the sliding block 22 to move within the sliding groove 21. At the same time, the adjusting block 11 moves within the adjusting groove 10, pressing against the locking block 8. This causes the locking block 8 to compress the locking spring 9 and retract into the locking groove 7. Then, the adjusting screw 3 continues to rotate, and the anti-slip pad 27 on the clamping plate 26 prevents the stirring shaft 2 from rotating. Simultaneously, the adjusting screw 3 and the prism 4 rotate relative to each other, thereby driving the prism 4 to move vertically and adjusting the height of the stirring rod 5, the stirring plate 6, and the scraper 30. While stirring continues, the clamping cylinder 25 retracts, the clamping plate 26 leaves the connecting block, and the snap-fit ​​block 8 extends into the adjusting groove 10 under the elastic force of the snap-fit ​​spring 9, connecting the adjusting screw 3 and the stirring shaft 2. This allows the stirring shaft 2, the stirring rod 5, and the stirring plate 6 to stir at the adjusted height, improving the stirring effect and mixing efficiency.

[0034] In summary, during the use or operation of the entire equipment: When in use, sauce ingredients are added to the mixing tank 1 through the feeding pipe 12. The drive motor 18 is started, and through the cooperation of the pulley 19 and the transmission belt 20, the adjusting screw 3, the stirring shaft 2, and the prism 4 are rotated, which in turn drives the stirring rod 5 and the stirring plate 6 to rotate. Simultaneously, the scraper 30 rotates to prevent the sauce from sticking to the mixing tank 1. Water is added to the water tank 13 by opening the cover plate 17, and the water in the inner tank 14 is heated and sterilized through the heating pipe 15. Then, water is injected into the mixing tank 1 through the water injection pipe 28 by opening the control valve 29. This can adjust the viscosity of the sauce and also clean the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, improving its practicality.

[0035] When adjusting the height of the stirring rod 5 and the stirring plate 6, the clamping cylinder 25 is activated. The clamping cylinder 25 drives the clamping plate 26 to move towards the stirring shaft 2. The stirring plate 6 presses against the adjusting block 11, which in turn drives the sliding block 22 to move within the sliding groove 21. Simultaneously, the adjusting block 11 moves within the adjusting groove 10, pressing against the locking block 8. This causes the locking block 8 to compress the locking spring 9 and retract into the locking groove 7. Subsequently, the adjusting screw 3 continues to rotate, preventing the stirring shaft 2 from rotating through the anti-slip pad 27 on the clamping plate 26. The adjusting screw 3 rotates relative to the prism 4, thereby causing the prism 4 to move vertically and adjust the height of the stirring rod 5, stirring plate 6, and scraper 30. While stirring continues, the clamping cylinder 25 retracts, the clamping plate 26 separates from the connecting block, and the snap-fit ​​block 8 extends into the adjusting groove 10 under the elastic force of the snap-fit ​​spring 9, connecting the adjusting screw 3 and the stirring shaft 2. This allows the stirring shaft 2, stirring rod 5, and stirring plate 6 to stir at the adjusted height, improving the stirring effect and mixing efficiency.
