Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixing device technology, specifically to a timed and quantitative mixing tank for probiotic processing. Background Technology

[0002] The production of probiotic products requires processes such as raw material inspection, ingredient preparation, mixing, and metal detection before they can be packaged and sold. In the ingredient preparation and mixing process of milk powder probiotics, different probiotic raw materials need to be weighed and mixed first, and then other materials in the formula are weighed and added to the mixing tank. Only after the mixture is completed can it be used for the production of milk powder probiotics.

[0003] Currently, when mixing the materials needed for producing probiotic milk powder, it is necessary to manually weigh different probiotic raw materials separately and put them into a mixing tank for mixing. Then, the other premixed materials are weighed and put into the mixing tank for mixing again. Only materials that have been mixed twice can be used to produce probiotic milk powder products. In the process of mixing probiotic milk powder materials, it is necessary to manually weigh and put them into the mixing tank multiple times, which is quite troublesome. Moreover, manual weighing is prone to errors, and it is not easy to control the mixing time of the materials. Too long or too short a mixing time will affect the quality of probiotic milk powder products. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, a timed and quantitative mixing tank for probiotic processing is provided. This technical solution addresses the issue raised in the background art that currently, when mixing materials required for the production of probiotic milk powder, it is necessary to manually weigh different probiotic raw materials separately and add them to the mixing tank for mixing. Then, other pre-mixed materials are weighed and added to the mixing tank for mixing again. Only materials that have undergone two mixing processes can be used to produce probiotic milk powder products. During the mixing process of probiotic milk powder materials, multiple manual weighings and additions to the mixing tank are required, which is cumbersome. Furthermore, manual weighing is prone to errors, and the mixing time is difficult to control. Mixing time that is too long or too short will affect the quality of probiotic milk powder products.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A timed and quantitative mixing tank for probiotic processing includes a feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism includes a storage tank. The bottom end of the storage tank is fixedly connected to the top end of a mixing drum via a support plate. A weighing mechanism is provided at the bottom end of the storage tank. Three sets of feeding rods are rotatably installed inside the storage tank. The output end of a first motor is fixedly installed at one end of each of the three sets of feeding rods. The bottom end of the storage tank is connected to the top end of three sets of weighing tanks via three sets of feeding pipes. A weighing cylinder is rotatably installed inside each of the three sets of weighing tanks, and a pressure sensor is provided inside each of the three sets of weighing cylinders.

[0007] Preferably, the other end of the three sets of feeding rods is sleeved inside the feeding tube.

[0008] Preferably, a first synchronous pulley is provided on the left side of each of the three sets of weighing cylinders, extending through the left side of the weighing box. The three sets of first synchronous pulleys are connected to second synchronous pulleys via synchronous belts. The three sets of second synchronous pulleys are fixedly installed at the output ends of the three sets of second motors, and the three sets of second motors are all located at the top of the stirring cylinder.

[0009] Preferably, a stirrer is rotatably installed inside the stirring drum, and the output end of a third motor is fixedly installed at one end of the stirrer, with the third motor located at the bottom of the stirring drum.

[0010] Preferably, the outer surface of the mixing drum is provided with a discharge pipe.

[0011] Preferably, the front outer surface of the storage box is provided with three sets of feeding controllers.

[0012] Preferably, the storage bin has three storage spaces formed by two sets of partitions.

[0013] Preferably, the outer surface of all three sets of weighing cylinders has a feed inlet.

[0014] Preferably, a timer controller is provided on the outer surface of the stirring tank.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] First, driven by a first motor, three sets of feeding rods rotate to evenly transport the raw materials from the storage bin to the weighing bin. A pressure sensor inside the weighing cylinder accurately records the weight of each feeding, eliminating the tediousness and errors of manual weighing. Second, a weighing cylinder rotation device driven by a synchronous pulley and belt, driven by a second motor, allows the three weighing cylinders to rotate independently, ensuring even distribution of the raw materials during weighing. This further improves weighing accuracy, simplifies the operation process, and reduces weighing errors caused by uneven material distribution. Third, the agitator inside the mixing drum, driven by a third motor, thoroughly mixes the weighed raw materials. A discharge pipe on the outer surface of the mixing drum facilitates the discharge of the mixed material. Simultaneously, a timer controller on the outer surface of the mixing drum precisely controls the mixing time, preventing excessively long or short mixing times from affecting the quality of the milk powder and probiotic products.

[0026] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-2 As shown, a timed and quantitative mixing tank for probiotic processing includes a feeding mechanism 1, which includes a storage tank 101. The bottom of the storage tank 101 is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing drum 4 via a support plate 2. A weighing mechanism 3 is provided at the bottom of the storage tank 101. The interior of the storage tank 101 is formed by two sets of partitions to create three storage spaces. Three sets of feeding rods 103 are rotatably installed inside the storage tank 101. Three sets of feeding controllers 105 are provided on the front outer surface of the storage tank 101. One end of each of the three sets of feeding rods 103 is fixedly installed with the output end of a first motor 102. The other end of each of the three sets of feeding rods 103 is partially sleeved inside the feeding pipe 104.

[0028] In this solution, the storage box 101 is equipped with three sets of storage spaces to achieve classified storage of different types of probiotic raw materials. Each set of storage spaces is equipped with a feeding rod 103. These feeding rods 103 are driven to rotate by the first motor 102 to control the quantitative feeding of raw materials. When the feeding controller 105 starts the corresponding motor, the rotation of the feeding rod 103 sends the raw materials into the weighing box 301 through the feeding pipe 104, thus achieving precise feeding control.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 As shown, the bottom of the storage tank 101 is connected to the top of the three weighing tanks 301 through three sets of feeding pipes 104. Weighing cylinders 302 are rotatably installed inside the three weighing tanks 301, and pressure sensors 303 are installed inside the three weighing cylinders 302. A first synchronous pulley 304 is installed through the left side of the weighing tank 301 on the left side of the three weighing cylinders 302. A feed inlet is opened on the outer surface of the three weighing cylinders 302. The three first synchronous pulleys 304 are connected to the second synchronous pulleys 306 through the synchronous belts 305. The three second synchronous pulleys 306 are fixedly installed at the output end of the three second motors 307, and the three second motors 307 are all located at the top of the mixing drum 4.

[0030] In this scheme, a weighing mechanism 3 is provided. The weighing cylinder 302 not only receives the raw materials falling from the storage bin 101, but also monitors the weight of the raw materials in real time through the pressure sensor 303 installed inside, ensuring that all raw materials can reach the preset ratio requirements before each mixing, thus improving the mixing accuracy. At the same time, the weighing cylinder 302 is connected to the second motor 307 through the first synchronous pulley 304, the synchronous belt 305, and the second synchronous pulley 306. The drive of the second motor 307 enables the weighing cylinder 302 to rotate at regular intervals, which facilitates the uniform distribution of raw materials and further processing, realizing automated and continuous weighing. The process involves a weighing mechanism 3. The weighing cylinder 302 not only receives the raw materials falling from the storage bin 101, but also monitors the weight of the raw materials in real time through the pressure sensor 303 installed inside, ensuring that all raw materials can reach the preset ratio requirements before each mixing, thus improving the accuracy of mixing. At the same time, the weighing cylinder 302 is connected to the second motor 307 through the first synchronous pulley 304, the synchronous belt 305, and the second synchronous pulley 306. The drive of the second motor 307 enables the weighing cylinder 302 to rotate at regular intervals, which facilitates the uniform distribution of raw materials and further processing, realizing an automated and continuous weighing process.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 As shown, a stirrer 401 is rotatably installed inside the stirring drum 4, a timer controller 404 is provided on the outer surface of the stirring drum 4, the output end of a third motor 402 is fixedly installed at one end of the stirrer 401, and the third motor 402 is located at the bottom of the stirring drum 4. A discharge pipe 403 is provided on the outer surface of the stirring drum 4.

[0032] In this solution, the stirrer 401 installed inside the mixing drum 4 is driven by the third motor 402. The stirring time can be set by the timer controller 404 to ensure that the probiotic raw materials are fully mixed in the mixing drum 4. After the stirring is completed, the uniformly mixed probiotics can be discharged through the discharge pipe 403 for subsequent processing, which improves production efficiency.

[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Three storage spaces are formed by two sets of partitions inside the storage box 101, enabling the classified storage and independent management of different types of probiotic raw materials. When mixing raw materials is required, the feeding controller 105 activates the corresponding first motor 102, driving the feeding rod 103 to rotate, thereby controlling the quantitative falling of the raw materials inside the storage box 101 into the weighing mechanism 3. This ensures accurate feeding of the raw materials and avoids waste and inaccurate proportions. The weighing cylinder 302 receives the raw materials falling from the storage box 101. The pressure sensor 303 installed inside the weighing cylinder 302 monitors the weight of the raw materials in real time. Once the preset proportion is reached, the weighing process is completed. Simultaneously, the weighing cylinder... 302 is connected to the second motor 307 via the first synchronous pulley 304, the synchronous belt 305, and the second synchronous pulley 306. The drive of the second motor 307 enables the weighing cylinder 302 to rotate at a time, ensuring that the raw materials fall into the mixing drum 4 through the rotation of the weighing cylinder 302, thereby improving the mixing accuracy and production efficiency. Finally, the probiotic raw materials enter the mixing drum 4 for mixing. The stirrer 401 installed inside the mixing drum 4 is driven by the third motor 402. The stirring time is set by the timer controller 404 to ensure that the raw materials are fully mixed in the mixing drum 4. After the mixing is completed, the uniformly mixed probiotics are discharged through the discharge pipe 403, realizing the rapid and uniform mixing of probiotic raw materials, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
