Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chocolate mixers, and more particularly to a high-speed mixer for chocolate production. Background Technology

[0002] High-speed chocolate mixers are key pieces of equipment used in the chocolate production process, especially in the mixing, emulsification, and homogenization of chocolate ingredients. This equipment can rapidly mix cocoa powder, cocoa butter, sugar, dairy products, and other ingredients at high speeds to ensure the chocolate has a uniform, smooth texture and meets final product standards.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN221132072U, disclose a chocolate processing mixer. This patent employs a mixing tank and support columns arranged on both sides of the mixing tank. The support columns are symmetrically arranged along the center of the mixing tank and are movably connected to the mixing tank. A lifting device is arranged between the support columns at the lower end of the mixing tank, and a stabilizing device is arranged between the lifting device and the bottom of the mixing tank. In this utility model's chocolate processing mixer, the lifting structure of the lifting device allows the first stabilizing block on the upper fixed block to be inserted into the second stabilizing block at the bottom of the mixing tank. Furthermore, the moving rod and rotating shaft of the lifting device form a stable triangular structure, thereby preventing the mixing tank from becoming unstable due to shaking during mixing.

[0004] The inventors discovered during daily use that when chocolate is stirred at high speed, the liquid chocolate may splash out due to centrifugal force or the rapid rotation of the stirrer. If the mixing bowl is not protected, chocolate will splash out of the machine, causing pollution to the production environment, wasting raw materials, and potentially contaminating the exterior of the equipment, increasing the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance. Furthermore, the temperature of the chocolate can be affected by the external environment during stirring, especially without protection. Ambient temperature or airflow can cause temperature fluctuations in the chocolate, affecting its quality and shaping. Utility Model Content

[0033] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 2 to 5 The protective structure 8 includes a fixing block 802, which is fixedly connected to the mixing tank 7. The fixing block 802 has a slot 807 inside, and two rotating shafts 805 are rotatably connected inside the slot 807. A connecting rod 806 is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the rotating shaft 805. A protective plate 801 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 806 away from the rotating shaft 805. A sliding rod 810 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the protective plate 801. A connecting plate 809 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the two sliding rods 810. A connecting ring 803 is connected to the upper surface of the protective plate 801. When stirring the chocolate, the connecting plate 809 is pulled to move, which in turn moves the two sliding rods 810. The sliding rods 810 then separate from the two protective plates 801, and the protective plates 801 are pulled to move. The protective plates 801 move the connecting plate, which in turn rotates the shaft 805. The shaft 805 rotates within the groove 807. The protective plates 801 are then opened, and the chocolate is placed into the mixing bowl 7. The protective plates 801 are then closed and reset, and the machine body 2 is started to stir the chocolate using the stirring rod 6. A protective pad 808, made of rubber, is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the protective plate 801. The protective pad 808 protects the protective plate 801 from chocolate corrosion during use. A handle 811, with a U-shaped cross-section, is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the protective plate 801.

[0035] The working principle of the high-speed mixer for chocolate production provided by this utility model is as follows: When mixing chocolate, the connecting plate 809 is pulled to move, which in turn moves the two sliding rods 810. Then, the sliding rods 810 separate from the two protective plates 801, and the protective plates 801 are pulled to move. The protective plates 801 move the connecting plate, which in turn moves the rotating shaft 805. The rotating shaft 805 rotates on the inner wall of the slot 807. Then, the protective plates 801 are opened, and the chocolate is placed into the mixing tank 7. Finally, the protective plates 801 are closed and reset. Then, the machine body 2 is started, which drives the stirring rod 6 to stir the chocolate. The protective pad 808 can protect the protective plate 801 to prevent the protective plate 801 from being corroded by the chocolate during use. When it is necessary to pull the protective plate 801, the handle 811 can be pulled directly. The handle 811 moves the protective plate 801, making it easier to move the protective plate 801. When the protective plate 801 is closed, the protective plate 801 is pulled to move it. The protective plate 801 drives the coil spring 804 to retract, and then the rebound force of the coil spring 804 can drive the protective plate 801 to return to its original position.

[0036] When cleaning the mixing tank 7 is required, pull the retaining ring 91 to move it. The retaining ring 91 moves the insert rod 94, which in turn moves the spring 95. The retaining ring 91 moves the connecting rod 92, which in turn moves the scraper 93. Then, the retaining ring 91 is snapped onto the mixing rod 6. The spring 95 is then pulled to stretch it. The insert rod 94 is then aligned with the retaining ring 91 and the mixing rod 6. The spring 95 is then released to retract the insert rod 94, which is then inserted into the retaining ring 91 and the mixing rod 6 for fixation. The rubber material increases the service life of the scraper 93 and prevents it from scratching the inner wall of the mixing tank 7 during cleaning. The stainless steel material increases the service life of the connecting rod 92 and prevents it from rusting during use.
