Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dough processing, and in particular to a dough mixer. Background Technology

[0002] Kneading dough involves adding water, egg, yeast, and other ingredients to flour, stirring or kneading to form a sticky dough, and then allowing it to ferment and rise. Currently, dough kneading can be done using a dough mixer. Specifically, water, egg, yeast, and other ingredients are placed in the mixing bowl, and the mixer's mixing head mixes them evenly and allows the dough to ferment and rise. However, during mixing, the high speed of the mixing head causes the mixture to splash inside the bowl, with some of the mixture flying out from the top opening, thus contaminating the external environment. Although some dough mixers are equipped with splash guards, these guards are not removable and are difficult to clean, leading to bacterial growth and hygiene problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dough mixer that allows for the removal of the annular seat and flexible baffle for easy cleaning, prevention of bacterial growth, and a solution to hygiene problems.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a dough mixer, including a mixer body, a dough cylinder and a stirring rod on the mixer body, a stirring head extending into the dough cylinder at the lower end of the stirring rod, an annular seat detachably fitted to the top opening of the dough cylinder, a through hole in the middle of the annular seat for the stirring head to pass through, a flexible baffle on the annular seat, the flexible baffle being rolled into a cone shape and detachably connected to the bottom of the annular seat, the cone-shaped flexible baffle being located outside the stirring rod.

[0005] As a further improvement of this utility model, the annular seat includes a vertically extending annular insert, and an annular boss protruding from its side wall is provided on the upper outer side wall of the annular insert; the annular insert is inserted downward into the inner side of the top opening of the face cylinder, and the bottom of the annular boss is pressed against the edge of the opening of the face cylinder.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, the top surface of the annular boss is provided with a mounting groove, which is arranged around the annular boss. The rear end and the front end of the mounting groove overlap along the radial portion of the annular boss, wherein the rear end of the mounting groove is closer to the center line of the annular boss than the front end of the mounting groove. The bottom edge of the flexible baffle is connected with a flexible snap-fit ​​strip, and the flexible baffle is slidably snap-fitted into the mounting groove of the annular boss through the flexible snap-fit ​​strip.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, the side wall of the annular boss is provided with a protruding surface, and the front end of the mounting groove is located on the protruding surface.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mounting groove includes an upper guide groove and a lower guide groove that are parallel to each other and interconnected. The opening of the upper guide groove is located on the top surface of the annular boss, and the cross-sectional width of the lower guide groove is greater than that of the upper guide groove. The upper guide groove is arranged at an angle and slides with the flexible baffle, and the lower guide groove slides with the flexible snap-fit ​​strip.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the flexible baffle is fan-shaped when unfolded, with a reinforcing rod connected to its front edge and a baffle strip connected to its rear edge; when the flexible baffle is rolled into a cone shape, a through hole is formed at the top, the rear edge of the flexible baffle is located inside the front edge of the flexible baffle, the baffle strip at the rear edge of the flexible baffle contacts the inner surface of the flexible baffle, and the stirring rod passes through the through hole.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, an upwardly protruding annular stop is provided at the inner edge of the top of the annular boss of the annular seat. The outer wall of the annular stop is adapted to the inner wall of the flexible baffle rolled into a cone shape. The inner wall of the annular stop and the inner wall of the annular embedded part are smoothly transitioned.

[0011] Beneficial effects

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the dough mixer of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. Since the annular seat and the face cylinder are detachably connected, and the flexible baffle and the annular seat are also detachably connected, both the flexible baffle and the annular seat can be removed for separate cleaning, making cleaning convenient, preventing bacterial growth, and solving hygiene problems.

[0014] 2. The flexible baffle can be unfolded. As the flexible snap strip of the flexible baffle slides into the installation groove, the flexible baffle rolls into a cone shape. The size of the through hole formed at the top can be small, slightly larger than the diameter of the stirring rod. When the stirring head stirs the mixture in the mixing tank, the splashed material is basically blocked by the flexible baffle and is difficult to fly out from the through hole.

[0015] 3. The rear and front ends of the mounting groove overlap radially along the annular boss, with the rear end of the mounting groove being closer to the center line of the annular boss than the front end. After the flexible snap-fit ​​strip of the flexible baffle slides into the mounting groove, the rear end edge of the flexible baffle is located inside the front end edge of the flexible baffle, forming a partial overlap. The baffle strip at the rear end edge of the flexible baffle contacts the inner surface of the flexible baffle, preventing splashed material from flying out from the gap between the rear end edge of the flexible baffle and the inner surface of the flexible baffle.

[0016] 4. The outer wall of the annular stop of the annular seat is adapted to the inner wall of the flexible baffle rolled into a cone shape. The inner wall of the annular stop and the inner wall of the annular embedded part are smoothly transitioned, which can prevent splashed material from falling on the annular protrusion. When the material splashes, it basically falls on the inclined inner wall of the flexible baffle and the inner wall of the annular embedded part, which is conducive to its rebound and falling back into the cylinder.

[0028] Example

[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model are as follows: Figures 1 to 8As shown, a dough mixer includes a mixer body 5, a dough cylinder 1 and a mixing rod 61 on the mixer body 5, a mixing head 6 extending into the dough cylinder 1 at the lower end of the mixing rod 61, an annular seat 2 that is detachably fitted to the top opening of the dough cylinder 1, a through hole in the middle of the annular seat 2 for the mixing head 6 to pass through, a flexible baffle 3 on the annular seat 2, the flexible baffle 3 being rolled into a cone shape and detachably connected to the bottom of the annular seat 2, and the cone-shaped flexible baffle 3 being located outside the mixing rod 61.

[0030] The annular seat 2 includes a vertically extending annular insert 21, and an annular boss 22 protruding from the upper outer side wall of the annular insert 21. The annular insert 21 is inserted downward into the inner side of the top opening of the face cylinder 1, and the bottom of the annular boss 22 is pressed against the edge of the opening of the face cylinder 1.

[0031] The top surface of the annular boss 22 is provided with a mounting groove 4, which is arranged around the annular boss 22. The rear end and front end of the mounting groove 4 overlap radially along the annular boss 22, wherein the rear end of the mounting groove 4 is closer to the center line of the annular boss 22 than the front end. The bottom edge of the flexible baffle 3 is connected to a flexible snap-fit ​​strip 31, and the flexible baffle 3 is slidably snapped into the mounting groove 4 of the annular boss 22 through the flexible snap-fit ​​strip 31. The cross-sectional width of the flexible snap-fit ​​strip 31 is larger than the cross-sectional width of the flexible baffle 3, and both the flexible snap-fit ​​strip 31 and the flexible baffle 3 can be made of rubber.

[0032] The annular boss 22 has a protruding surface 24 on its side wall, and the front end of the mounting groove 4 is located on the protruding surface 24, such as... Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown.

[0033] The mounting groove 4 includes an upper guide groove 42 and a lower guide groove 41 that are parallel to each other and interconnected. The opening of the upper guide groove 42 is located on the top surface of the annular boss 22, and the cross-sectional width of the lower guide groove 41 is greater than that of the upper guide groove 42. The upper guide groove 42 is arranged at an angle and slides in engagement with the flexible baffle 3, while the lower guide groove 41 slides in engagement with the flexible locking strip 31. After the flexible locking strip 31 slides into the lower guide groove 41, it can prevent the flexible baffle 3 from coming off upward. The upper end of the upper guide groove 42 is closer to the center line of the annular seat 2 than the lower end. Figure 4 As shown, during the process of the flexible baffle 3 sliding into the upper guide groove 42, it will also be arranged at an angle under the action of the inclined upper guide groove 42, which is more conducive to its rolling into a cone shape.

[0034] When the flexible baffle 3 is unfolded, it is fan-shaped, with a reinforcing rod 33 connected to its front edge and a baffle strip 32 connected to its rear edge. When the flexible baffle 3 is rolled into a cone shape, a through hole 34 is formed at the top. The rear edge of the flexible baffle 3 is located inside the front edge of the flexible baffle 3, and the baffle strip 32 of the rear edge of the flexible baffle 3 is in contact with the inner surface of the flexible baffle 3. The stirring rod 61 passes through the through hole 34.

[0035] The annular seat 2 has an upwardly protruding annular flange 23 at the inner edge of the top of the annular boss 22. The outer wall of the annular flange 23 is adapted to the inner wall of the flexible baffle 3 rolled into a cone shape. The inner wall of the annular flange 23 and the inner wall of the annular insert 21 are smoothly transitioned.

[0036] First, place the material into the mixing tank 1, and install the annular seat 2 at the top opening of the mixing tank 1. Then, place the mixing tank 1 on the mixer body 5, allowing the stirring head 6 at the lower end of the stirring rod 61 to pass through the through hole of the annular seat 2 and extend into the mixing tank 1. Next, allow the flexible snap-fit ​​strip 31 at the bottom of the rear edge of the flexible baffle 3 to slide from the protruding surface 24 into the installation groove 4 until the rear edge of the flexible baffle 3 slides to the rear end of the installation groove 4. At this time, the flexible baffle 3 is rolled into a cone shape, with the rear edge of the flexible baffle 3 located inside the front edge of the flexible baffle 3. The retaining strip 32 of the rear edge of the flexible baffle 3 contacts the inner surface of the flexible baffle 3, thus completing the installation of the annular seat 2 and the flexible baffle 3. Then, turn on the drive device on the mixer body 5 to drive the stirring rod 61 and the stirring head 6 to rotate, stirring the material in the mixing tank 1. During the stirring process, the splashed material can be blocked by the flexible baffle 3. The stirring rod 61 and the stirring head 6 can be lifted and removed from the dough cylinder 1 by means of lifting (the separation method is the same as that disclosed in the patent with publication number CN211608041U), and then the annular seat 2 can be removed from the dough cylinder 1.

[0037] The present invention has been described above in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed above, but should cover various modifications and equivalent combinations made in accordance with the essence of the present invention.
