[0002] Dough mixers are commonly used equipment in the food processing industry, such as bakeries and pastry factories, to mix and stir ingredients such as flour, water, and yeast into a uniform dough.

[0003] A self-cleaning dough mixer is proposed in patent document CN217657920U. The device can drive the scraper and the mixer to rotate simultaneously through the drive shaft, so that the dough rolls at the bottom of the mixing bowl when it is formed. The scraper reduces the adhesion of flour to the inner wall of the mixing bowl and makes it easier to clean the mixing bowl, thus improving work efficiency.

[0004] However, in this device, the mixing bowl is fixed in place during dough mixing, which easily causes flour to adhere to the inner wall of the bowl. Furthermore, the mixing bowl lacks a protective structure, making it prone to flour splattering during mixing, resulting in flour waste and reduced dough quality. Therefore, we provide a dough mixer. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a dough mixer that solves the technical problem that existing technologies do not easily protect the area around the dough, leading to flour splattering and impurities entering the dough. It enables the mixing bowl to rotate, thereby reducing flour adhesion and improving the dough making effect. Furthermore, it can protect both sides of the mixing bowl, improving the practicality of the device.

[0009] Preferably, the mixing tank is connected to the support plate by a pillar, and a square groove is provided on the outer side of the mixing frame.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom end of the support column is slidably connected to the bottom end of the inner side of the support plate, and the support columns are distributed in a triangular pattern on the outer wall of the mixing tank.

[0011] Preferably, the protective cover is distributed on both sides of the mixing tank, and the inner side of the protective cover is coated with an anti-stick layer.

[0012] Preferably, the central rod and the stirring rod are both located inside the mixing tank, and the stirring rods are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central rod.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Existing technologies often lack adequate protection around the dough, leading to flour splattering and impurities entering the dough. This embodiment provides a dough mixer; please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1-4 This dough mixer allows the mixing bowl to rotate, reducing flour adhesion and improving dough mixing results. It also protects the sides of the mixing bowl, enhancing the device's practicality. The dough mixer includes a mixing frame 1 and a mixing bowl 2. A square groove is provided on the outer side of the mixing frame 1 to facilitate the connection of a connecting strap 43 through the frame and to the bottom of the mixing bowl 2, improving the smoothness of rotating the mixing bowl 2. The mixing bowl 2 is connected to a support plate 44 via a support column 45, which supports the mixing bowl 2 and allows it to rotate stably. The mixing frame 1 is equipped with a mixing mechanism 3 to expand the mixing range and a drive protection mechanism 4 to prevent flour splashing. The mixing mechanism 3 expands the mixing range, improving dough mixing efficiency. The drive protection mechanism 4 rotates the mixing bowl 2, preventing flour adhesion and improving dough mixing results. Furthermore, it provides some protection during the mixing process.

[0029] In the existing technology, the mixing bowl 2 is in a fixed state during operation. This static placement causes flour to easily adhere to the inner wall of the mixing bowl 2. At the same time, the mixing bowl 2 in the existing mixing equipment is not equipped with any protective structure. During the mixing process, the high-speed rotating mixing parts will carry flour from the dough and splash it out. This not only causes unnecessary waste of flour, but also affects the accurate ratio of dough ingredients due to flour loss, thereby reducing the quality of the dough. In order to solve the above problems... The drive protection mechanism 4 includes a synchronous motor 41 mounted on the stirring frame 1. A transmission disc 42 is mounted on the output end of the synchronous motor 41. A connecting belt 43 connected to the bottom end of the stirring tank 2 is connected to the transmission disc 42. A support disc 44 is mounted on the inner side of the stirring frame 1. Multiple sets of support columns 45 adapted to the inside of the support disc 44 are mounted on the stirring tank 2. The bottom end of the support column 45 is slidably connected to the bottom end of the support disc 44, which facilitates the rotation of the stirring tank 2. The support columns 45 are triangularly distributed on the outer wall of the stirring tank 2. The principle of triangular stability makes the rotation of the stirring tank 2 more stable. Limiting columns 46 are mounted on both sides of the stirring frame 1. A protective cover 47 is rotatably connected to the limiting column 46. The protective cover 47 is distributed on both sides of the stirring tank 2, thereby protecting both sides of the stirring tank 2. The inner side of the protective cover 47 is coated with an anti-stick layer to prevent flour splashed out during stirring from adhering to the inner side of the protective cover 47. The synchronous motor 41 drives the transmission disc 42 to rotate. With the connection of the connecting belt 43, the mixing drum 2 rotates under the support of the support disc 44 and the support column 45. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the mixing drum 2 reduces the adhesion between the flour and the inner wall of the mixing drum 2, preventing the flour from adhering to the inner wall of the mixing drum 2. In addition, during the mixing of dough, the protective cover 47 rotates under the support of the limiting column 46, thereby protecting both sides of the mixing drum 2 and improving the quality of dough production.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, existing technologies often fail to adequately protect the dough, leading to flour splattering and impurities entering the dough. However, existing dough mixing equipment typically mixes only the middle part of the dough, resulting in a limited mixing range and difficulty in fully mixing the dough, thus reducing the quality of the dough. Therefore, this device also incorporates a structure to expand the mixing range.

[0032] Currently, most dough mixing equipment on the market concentrates its mixing action on the central area of ​​the dough during operation, resulting in a very limited mixing coverage. The edges of the dough are difficult to mix thoroughly, leading to significant differences in mixing degree between the edges and the central area. This results in uneven dough texture and makes it difficult to achieve the desired production effect, greatly reducing the quality of the dough. To solve these problems, the mixing mechanism 3 includes a mixing motor 31 mounted on the top of the mixing frame 1. A mounting plate 32 is installed at the output end of the mixing motor 31, and a central rod 33 is installed at the bottom end of the output end of the mixing motor 31. The central rod 33 and mixing rods 37 are distributed inside the mixing tank 2, enabling thorough mixing of the dough inside the mixing tank 2 and improving the quality of the dough. A geared disc 34 is installed on the upper inner side of the mixing frame 1. Two sets of load-bearing shafts 35 are rotatably connected to the mounting plate 32. Gears 36 meshing with the geared disc 34 are installed at the top of the load-bearing shafts 35, and mixing rods 37 are installed at the bottom of the load-bearing shafts 35. The mixing rods 37 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the central rod 33, thereby expanding the mixing range and improving mixing efficiency. The operation of the mixing motor 31 drives the central rod 33 to mix the middle part of the dough. The operation of the mixing motor 31 also drives the mounting plate 32 to rotate, thereby driving the mixing rod 37 to make a circular motion around the central rod 33. Under the mutual meshing of the toothed disc 34 and the gear 36, the load-bearing shaft 35 can rotate, thereby making the mixing rod 37 rotate itself, which can fully mix the dough and improve the mixing effect of the dough.

[0033] It should be noted that, in this document, the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
