Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of thick emulsion preparation technology, specifically to a mixing and homogenizing device for thick emulsion preparation. Background Technology

[0002] In the dairy processing field, the mixing and homogenizing device is the core equipment for thick milk preparation. It uses a rotary stirring mechanism to continuously stir the thick milk to achieve uniform mixing of the thick milk and other materials. Although its closed cavity design can effectively prevent external contamination and adapt to the requirements of high temperature and high pressure processes, it has been found in practical applications that the high viscosity of milk fat components easily forms a residual layer on the inner wall, and there is an annular cleaning dead corner between the inner wall of the traditional cylindrical cavity and the stirring shaft. If the residual milk protein is not cleaned in time, it can easily lead to the risk of microbial growth. Therefore, a mixing and homogenizing device for thick milk preparation is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a mixing and homogenizing device for thick emulsion preparation.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a mixing and homogenizing device for thick emulsion preparation, including a mixing tank. A rotating rod is installed at the center of the mixing tank. Anchor-type stirring blades are provided on the outer side of the rotating rod. There are two anchor-type stirring blades. Slots are opened on the side of the two anchor-type stirring blades that are far apart from each other. The slots are used for inserting inserts. The inserts are arranged in a T-shape and are fixedly connected to one side of a brush plate. A magnetic suction plate is provided on the upper part of one side of the brush plate. A brush is provided on the side of the brush plate that is far away from the insert. The magnetic suction plate is magnetically connected to the top of the anchor-type stirring blades.

[0005] By adopting the above technical solution, the mixing tank achieves seamless switching between mixing and cleaning functions through the linkage design of the detachable brush plate and the water spray head. During cleaning, the T-shaped insert and the magnetic plate can be used to quickly install the brush plate, ensuring that the brush is in close contact with the inner wall. The water spray head rotates with the rotating rod to spray water and wash away residual materials. This design significantly reduces cleaning time, avoids cross-contamination caused by material residue, and improves equipment utilization and hygiene standards.

[0006] Specifically, a water spray head is fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the rotating rod. There are two water spray heads, and the interior of the two water spray heads is connected to the interior of the rotating rod. A water inlet pipe is inserted into the top of the rotating rod, and the water inlet pipe is connected to the interior of the rotating rod.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the water inlet pipe is connected to an external water source during the cleaning process. The water flows through the internal channel of the rotating rod to the spray head. When the spray head rotates with the rotating rod, it sprays water evenly onto the inner wall of the mixing tank, which helps the brush plate to wash away residual materials and achieves efficient cleaning.

[0008] Specifically, a mounting base is fixedly installed at the top of the mixing tank, and a motor is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting base. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the top of the first pulley, which is rotatably mounted on the top of the mixing tank.

[0009] Specifically, a second pulley is fixedly sleeved on the upper outer side of the rotating rod. The second pulley is rotatably installed at the center of the top of the mixing tank, and a belt connects the first pulley and the second pulley.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, after the motor is started, its output shaft directly drives the first pulley to rotate, and transmits the power to the second pulley through the belt, thereby driving the rotating rod and the anchor-type stirring blade, paddle-type stirring blade and other structures to rotate synchronously, providing power for stirring or cleaning.

[0011] Specifically, the mixing tank has a feed inlet at the top, which is used for sealing the installation of the plug.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when materials need to be added or cleaning is required, the sealing cover can be opened to put materials into the mixing tank through the feed port, and the brush plate can be easily inserted from the feed port and installed into the slot of the anchor-type mixing blade.

[0013] Specifically, an auxiliary stirring blade is provided on one side of the two anchor-type stirring blades that are close to each other. Multiple auxiliary stirring blades are provided, and a paddle-type stirring blade is fixedly connected to the lower outer part of the rotating rod.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the auxiliary stirring blade performs secondary shearing on the material in the central area when the anchor stirring blade rotates, preventing clumping; the paddle stirring blade generates vortexes through high-speed rotation, improving the mixing uniformity of the material at the bottom and forming a multi-layered stirring effect.

[0015] Specifically, a discharge pipe is provided at the center of the bottom of the mixing tank, and a valve is sleeved on the outside of the discharge pipe.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, after the mixing is completed, the valve is opened and the evenly mixed material is discharged through the discharge pipe; when cleaning, the valve is closed to ensure that the rinsing water circulates in the tank and prevents leakage.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] The present invention discloses a mixing and homogenizing device for preparing thick emulsions. The mixing tank achieves seamless switching between mixing and cleaning functions through the linkage design of a detachable brush plate and a water spray head. During cleaning, the T-shaped insert and magnetic plate can be used to quickly install the brush plate, ensuring that the brush is in close contact with the inner wall. The water spray head rotates with the rotating rod to spray water flow and wash away residual materials. This design significantly reduces cleaning time, avoids cross-contamination caused by material residue, and improves equipment utilization and hygiene standards. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0026] As one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention discloses a mixing and homogenizing device for preparing thick emulsion, comprising a mixing tank 1, a rotating rod 7 installed at the center of the mixing tank 1, and an anchor-type stirring blade 12 provided on the outer side of the rotating rod 7. The anchor-type stirring blade 12 has two locations, and slots 13 are provided on the sides of the two anchor-type stirring blades 12 that are far apart from each other. The slots 13 are used for inserting inserts 19. The inserts 19 are T-shaped and are fixedly connected to one side of a brush plate 20. A magnetic suction plate 18 is provided on the upper part of one side of the brush plate 20, and a brush is provided on the side of the brush plate 20 away from the inserts 19. The magnetic suction plate 18 is magnetically connected to the top of the anchor-type stirring blade 12.

[0027] When cleaning the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, the insert 19 of the brush plate 20 is vertically inserted into the slot 13 of the anchor-type mixing blade 12. The T-shaped insert 19 is secured by engaging with the slot 13, and simultaneously, the brush is attached to the top of the anchor-type mixing blade 12 via the magnetic plate 18, ensuring the brush is in close contact with the inner wall. As the anchor-type mixing blade 12 rotates with the rotating rod 7, it drives the brush plate 20 to rotate synchronously, completing the cleaning process through friction between the brush and the inner wall.

[0028] The present invention also includes a water spray head 11 fixedly connected to the upper outer side of the rotating rod 7. There are two water spray heads 11, and the interior of the two water spray heads 11 is connected to the interior of the rotating rod 7. A water inlet pipe 6 is inserted into the top of the rotating rod 7, and the water inlet pipe 6 is connected to the interior of the rotating rod 7.

[0029] During use, the water inlet pipe 6 is connected to an external water source during the cleaning process. The water flows through the internal channel of the rotating rod 7 to the spray head 11. As the rotating rod 7 rotates, the spray head 11 sprays water evenly onto the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, which helps the brush plate 20 to wash away residual materials and achieve efficient cleaning.

[0030] The present invention also includes a mounting base 3 fixedly installed on the top of the mixing tank 1, a motor 4 fixedly installed on the top of the mounting base 3, the output end of the motor 4 being fixedly connected to the top of the first pulley 2, and the first pulley 2 being rotatably installed on the top of the mixing tank 1.

[0031] The present invention also includes a second pulley 8 fixedly sleeved on the upper outer side of the rotating rod 7, the second pulley 8 being rotatably installed at the top center of the mixing tank 1, and a belt 5 connecting the first pulley 2 and the second pulley 8.

[0032] When in use, after starting the motor 4, its output shaft directly drives the first pulley 2 to rotate, and transmits the power to the second pulley 8 through the belt 5, thereby driving the rotating rod 7 and the anchor-type stirring blade 12, paddle-type stirring blade 15 and other structures to rotate synchronously, providing power for stirring or cleaning.

[0033] The present invention also includes a feed inlet 9 at the top of the mixing tank 1, which is used for sealing and installing the sealing cover 10.

[0034] When in use, the sealing cover 10 is opened when materials need to be added or when cleaning is required, and materials are put into the mixing tank 1 through the feed port 9. It is also convenient to insert the brush plate 20 from the feed port 9 and install it into the slot 13 of the anchor mixing blade 12.

[0035] The present invention also includes an auxiliary stirring blade 14 provided on one side of the two anchor stirring blades 12 that are close to each other, and multiple auxiliary stirring blades 14 are provided. A paddle stirring blade 15 is fixedly connected to the lower outer side of the rotating rod 7.

[0036] During use, the secondary stirring blade 14 performs secondary shearing on the material in the central area while the anchor stirring blade 12 rotates, preventing clumping; the paddle stirring blade 15 generates vortexes through high-speed rotation, improving the mixing uniformity of the bottom material and forming a multi-layered stirring effect.

[0037] The present invention also includes a discharge pipe 16 provided at the center of the bottom end of the mixing tank 1, and a valve 17 sleeved on the outside of the discharge pipe 16.

[0038] When in use, after mixing, open valve 17 and discharge the evenly mixed material through discharge pipe 16; when cleaning, close valve 17 to ensure that the rinsing water circulates in the bucket and prevents leakage.

[0039] When using this invention, after the mixing tank 1 has finished mixing the thick milk, and the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 needs to be cleaned, firstly, pull out the sealing cap 10 to expose the feed inlet 9. Then, align the insert 19 connected to one side of the brush plate 20 with the top of the slot 13 opened on one side of the anchor mixing blade 12, and insert the insert 19 into the slot 13 from top to bottom. In this way, the brush plate 20 is installed on the outer side of the anchor mixing blade 12, so that the brush on one side of the brush plate 20 can contact the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, until the magnetic plate 18 is attracted to the top of the anchor mixing blade 12. This completes the installation of the brush plate 20. Then, the motor 4 is started to drive the first pulley 2 to rotate. The belt 5 drives the second pulley 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 7 drives the anchor stirring blade 12 to rotate, allowing the other anchor stirring blade 12 to rotate directly below the feed inlet 9. The brush plate 20 is then installed on the outside of the other anchor stirring blade 12 in the same way. The water inlet pipe 6 is then inserted into the top of the rotating rod 7, allowing water to flow through the water inlet pipe 6 to the inside of the rotating rod 7. Finally, water is sprayed out from the spray nozzle 11 to assist the brush plate 20 in cleaning the inner wall of the mixing tank 1. The motor 4 drives the anchor stirring blade 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the brush plate 20 to rotate, thus cleaning the inner wall of the mixing tank 1.
