Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a trough mixer for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, trough mixers are a commonly used piece of equipment that plays a crucial role in the mixing effect of materials.

[0003] Currently, existing trough mixers typically use a fixed installation method for the mixing rods. The connection structure between the two ends of the mixing rod and the equipment is complex, often involving welding or the use of numerous bolts and nuts for fastening. This installation method makes the disassembly and assembly of the mixing rod extremely cumbersome when maintenance or replacement is needed. It often requires specialized tools and consumes a lot of time and manpower, resulting in long downtime, affecting overall work efficiency, and making it inconvenient to use. In addition, during the material feeding stage, due to the diversity of food materials, some materials are sticky and tend to adhere to the inner wall of the trough after mixing. This not only causes material waste and increases production costs, but may also lead to spoilage of the residual material, affecting the quality of the next batch of food, causing many problems. Therefore, based on the above shortcomings, a trough mixer for food processing is introduced to improve these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a trough mixer for food processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a trough-type mixer for food processing, comprising a mixer body, rubber shock-absorbing pads installed on both the left and right sides of the bottom end of the mixer body, a first motor screwed to the right side of the bottom end of the inner cavity of the mixer body, the left output end of the first motor extending out of the outer wall of the mixer body and fitted with a material trough, the left side of the material trough rotatably connected to the outer wall of the mixer body, and housings rotatably connected to both the left and right sides of the inner cavity of the material trough, one end of a spring installed on the upper and lower sides of the inner cavities of the two housings, and a movable seat installed on the other end of the spring, the upper and lower ends of the movable seat extending out of the outer wall of the housing, and a fixing device provided on the outer wall of the movable seat. One end of the block and the other end of the fixed block extend out of the outer wall of the shell. Both the upper and lower ends of the shell are equipped with covers. A connecting seat is assembled on the inner side of the shell. A fixing hole is opened on the outer side of the connecting seat. The fixing hole and the fixed block are interlocked. A stirring rod is provided on the inner side of the connecting seat. A second motor is screwed to the left side of the bottom of the inner cavity of the mixer body. A first gear is installed on the output end of the upper surface of the second motor. One end of the drive rod is rotatably connected to the left side of the inner cavity of the mixer body. The other end of the drive rod extends into the inner cavity of the feed chute and is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shell. A second gear is installed on the outer wall of the drive rod. The second gear and the first gear are meshed with each other.

[0006] Preferably, a vibration motor is screwed to the bottom of the material trough.

[0007] Preferably, the fixing block and the fixing hole are matched and their positions correspond.

[0008] Preferably, the drive rod is positioned at the center of the outer wall of the housing.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the movable seat is provided with anti-slip ridges.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This trough mixer for food processing can drive the material trough to rotate through the first motor. Through the cooperation between the second motor, the first gear, the drive rod, and the second gear, the housing and all structural components on the housing can be driven to rotate together. Through the cooperation between the spring, the moving seat, the fixing block, the cover, and the fixing hole, the connecting seat can be engaged, thereby allowing for the disassembly and assembly of the stirring rod. This device not only greatly simplifies the disassembly and installation process of the stirring rod, but also, compared with the traditional complex connection method, allows operators to easily complete the replacement and maintenance of the stirring rod without the need for a large number of professional tools or excessive time and manpower, thus shortening the maintenance time. The reduced downtime improves overall production efficiency. Simultaneously, the increased ease of maintenance lowers labor costs for equipment upkeep, indirectly enhancing the company's economic benefits. Furthermore, the overall vibration system efficiently dislodges materials adhering to the inner walls of the trough, effectively reducing material waste and production costs. More importantly, it prevents residual materials from spoiling and affecting the quality of subsequent batches of food, eliminating the risk of bacterial and other microbial growth at the source and greatly ensuring food safety. Moreover, the automatic cleaning of residual materials by the vibration motor replaces the previously inefficient manual cleaning method, meeting the high-efficiency and hygienic production requirements of modern food processing and enhancing the company's market competitiveness.
