Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to food processing technical field especially food material mixing mechanism. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of food processing, the material mixing link is crucial. For example, mixing cereals rich in carbohydrates with nuts rich in protein and dried fruits containing vitamins enables consumers to obtain multiple nutrients at the same time when eating, achieving nutritional balance.
[0003] Traditional food material mixing mechanism has exposed significant technical shortcomings in practical application. On the one hand, in most existing technologies, the equipment for storing materials lacks an efficient feeding control mechanism integrated with the mixing box. This leads to the need for separate complex and costly control components for precise regulation of material discharge to enable orderly entry into the mixing box for the mixing process. This approach not only increases the overall cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment, but also increases the probability of failure due to increased system complexity. On the other hand, some mixing mechanisms rely on manual pouring of materials. If manual operation uses a slow pouring method, the labor intensity of the operator is extremely high, and long-term operation can lead to fatigue, thereby affecting production efficiency. If a large amount of material is poured at once, the mixing box will be filled with too much material at once, making it difficult for the stirring equipment to fully stir the material in a short time, resulting in uneven mixing of the material and seriously affecting product quality and consistency.

[0027] The engaging mechanism comprises a driving gear 19 mounted on the fixed shaft 18, and a transmission gear 20 mounted on the stirring rod 13 and engaged with the driving gear 19.
