Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mixing equipment technology, specifically to a mixing device for solid beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] Solid beverages refer to solid products made primarily from sugar, dairy products, egg products, fruit juice, or edible plant extracts, with the addition of appropriate excipients or food additives. The production process of solid beverages requires mixing the raw materials to facilitate subsequent processing.

[0003] Due to the differences in density, viscosity, and particle size among the different raw materials of solid beverages, existing mixing devices can effectively mix the raw materials in the circumferential direction, but have limited effect on intervening in different layers of the raw materials. During the mixing process, different raw materials will stratify significantly due to gravity, and heavier components will gradually settle to the bottom, resulting in sedimentation and stratification, which affects the overall uniformity of the mixed raw materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a solid beverage production mixing device, which can realize the upward conveying of materials from the lower part through spiral conveying blades arranged in an upward spiral, thereby improving the uniformity of the overall material mixing inside the mixing tank and making the operation more convenient.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a solid beverage production mixing device, including a mixing tank. A feed inlet is provided at the top of the mixing tank, and an automatic feeding component is installed at the feed inlet. A mixing component is rotatably installed inside the mixing tank. The mixing component includes a drive unit located at the top of the mixing tank, and a rotating shaft at the end of the output shaft of the drive unit. The rotating shaft passes through the upper part of the mixing tank and is rotatably installed inside the mixing tank. An upwardly spiraling conveying blade is installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft. This utility model can achieve automatic feeding of materials through the automatic feeding component. Furthermore, by having the drive unit rotate the rotating shaft, the upwardly spiraling conveying blade simultaneously rotates upward, guiding the material inside the mixing tank upwards. After reaching the upper part, the material is automatically thrown downwards, greatly improving the mixing efficiency of the material inside the mixing tank. This solves the problem of traditional mixing devices that rely solely on simple stirring blades, resulting in too many dead zones in the stirring process and easy stratification of the material, leading to poor overall material mixing uniformity. Therefore, this invention significantly improves the mixing efficiency of the material.

[0006] The automatic feeding component is a first conveying auger that is set at an angle, and the height of the inlet of the first conveying auger is lower than the height of the outlet.

[0007] The bottom of the mixing tank is equipped with a discharge port, and a second conveying auger connected to the discharge port is also provided at the bottom of the mixing tank.

[0008] A fixing frame is also provided on the outside of the rotating shaft, and a scraper that abuts against the inner wall of the mixing tank is provided on the outside of the fixing frame.

[0009] The driving component is a servo motor, and the servo motor and the rotating shaft are connected by a sealed bearing.

[0010] The screw conveyor blades are a conical spiral structure with the outer diameter gradually increasing from bottom to top.

[0011] An observation window is also provided on the side wall of the mixing tank.

[0012] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0013] 1. This utility model can rotate the output shaft of the drive component, causing the rotating shaft and the upward spiral conveying blades on its outer side to rotate together. At the same time, it can convey the material at the bottom of the mixing tank upward and then drop it freely from the top, realizing the overall efficient mixing and stirring of the material in the mixing tank, making the operation more convenient and efficient.

[0014] 2. This utility model utilizes a scraper located on the outside of the rotating shaft to scrape the inner wall of the mixing tank as the shaft rotates. This prevents materials adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank from failing to mix thoroughly, greatly improving the mixing efficiency of the materials. It also reduces the difficulty for subsequent operators to clean the materials adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank, thus avoiding unnecessary waste of materials.

[0015] 3. This utility model allows the inlet of the first conveying auger to be set at a low position, which makes it convenient and easy for the operator to add materials without the need for a lifting device, making the material addition operation safer, more efficient and convenient.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the appendices of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-4 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown: This embodiment provides a solid beverage production mixing device, including a mixing tank 100. A feed inlet 101 is provided at the upper part of the mixing tank 100, and an automatic feeding component 200 is provided at the feed inlet 101. A mixing component 300 is rotatably arranged inside the mixing tank 100. The mixing component 300 includes a drive unit, which is a servo motor, located at the top of the mixing tank 100. The servo motor and the rotating shaft 301 are connected by a sealed bearing. This invention can achieve the transmission connection between the servo motor and the rotating shaft 301 through the sealed bearing, while also increasing the sealing performance of the part of the sealed bearing in contact with the mixing tank 100, greatly improving the sealing performance of the device. A rotating shaft 301 is provided at the end of the output shaft of the drive unit. The rotating shaft 301 passes through the upper part of the mixing tank 100 and is rotatably arranged inside the mixing tank 100. An upward spiral conveying blade 3 is provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 301. 02. The spiral conveying blades 302 are conical spiral structures with an outer diameter that gradually increases from bottom to top. This design facilitates efficient upward conveying of materials, enabling thorough and uniform mixing of the materials within the mixing tank 100. This invention can achieve automatic material feeding via the automatic feeding assembly 200. Furthermore, the upward spiral conveying blades 302 can be synchronously rotated upwards by the drive unit rotating the shaft 301, guiding the materials inside the mixing tank 100 upwards. Once the materials reach the upper part, they are automatically thrown downwards, significantly improving the mixing efficiency of the materials within the mixing tank 100. This solves the problem of traditional mixing devices relying solely on simple stirring blades, which result in too many dead zones in the stirring process and easy stratification of materials, leading to poor overall material mixing uniformity. This invention greatly improves the mixing efficiency of the materials.

[0023] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic feeding component 200 is a first conveying auger 201 set at an incline, and the height of the inlet of the first conveying auger 201 is lower than the height of the outlet. This utility model can make it easier for the operator to add materials by setting the inlet of the first conveying auger 201 at a low position, without the need for a lifting device, which is safer, more efficient and convenient.

[0024] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a discharge port 102 is provided at the bottom of the mixing tank 100, and a second conveying auger 400 connected to the discharge port 102 is also provided at the lower part of the mixing tank 100. This utility model can achieve the uniform discharge of the mixed material through the second conveying auger 400 connected to the discharge port 102 at the lower part of the mixing tank 100, making the operation more convenient.

[0025] The mixing tank 100 is also equipped with an observation window on its side wall. The observation window is made of transparent tempered glass, which allows for real-time monitoring of the materials to be mixed inside the mixing tank 100, making operation more convenient.

[0026] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a fixing frame 303 is also provided on the outer side of the rotating shaft 301. A scraper that abuts against the inner wall of the mixing tank 100 is provided on the outer side of the fixing frame 303. This utility model can achieve scraping operation on the inner wall of the mixing tank 100 while the rotating shaft 301 rotates, by using the scraper on the outer side of the rotating shaft 301. This prevents the material adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 100 from not being fully mixed, greatly improving the mixing efficiency of the material and reducing the difficulty for subsequent operators to clean the material adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 100, thus avoiding unnecessary waste of material.

[0027] How to use this utility model:

[0028] First, it needs to be clarified that the mixing device involved in this utility model is mainly used for mixing and stirring various powders, granular materials, and colloidal materials. This utility model takes the mixing and stirring of solid beverage granules with various auxiliary materials as an example to describe its usage in detail. When mixing solid beverage granules, the operator first starts the motor of the first conveying auger 201, and simultaneously starts the output shaft of the servo motor. Then, the material is introduced through the inlet of the first conveying auger 201. The rotation of the output shaft of the motor of the first conveying auger 201 can carry the auger conveyor blades to transport the powder to be mixed through the first conveying auger 201. The material enters the inlet 101 through the outlet and eventually falls into the mixing tank 100. Simultaneously, the rotation of the output shaft of the drive motor drives the rotating shaft 301 and the upward spiral conveying blades on its outer side to rotate together. This simultaneously conveys the material from the lower part of the mixing tank 100 upwards and then throws it freely from the top, achieving efficient mixing and stirring of the material inside the mixing tank 100. The operation is more convenient and efficient. This utility model can use the upward spiral conveying blades 302 to achieve the upward conveying of the material from the lower part, improving the uniformity of the overall mixing of the material inside the mixing tank 100 and making the operation more convenient.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
