Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food production and processing technology, and more specifically, to a food production mixing apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Food production requires the precise proportioning and mixing of various food ingredients, necessitating the use of mixing and stirring devices.

[0003] In response, Chinese patent application number CN210496080U discloses a food production mixing device. This solution mainly solves the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive food production mixing devices lacking metering function by setting up a left measuring cylinder, a right measuring cylinder, a funnel, and a first valve. The first valve is fixed on the transport pipe at the lower end of the left and right measuring cylinders, and the funnel is fixed at the upper end of the left and right measuring cylinders. When metering, the food raw material is first poured into the inner wall of the left or right measuring cylinder, while observing the scale line on the left or right measuring cylinder. The appropriate amount of food raw material is poured in according to the scale line, and then the first valve is manually opened to pour the appropriate amount of food raw material into the mixing tank, thus achieving the effect of metering.

[0004] However, in the process of implementing the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, the inventors of this utility model discovered that the above-mentioned technology has at least the following technical problems:

[0005] The raw materials need to enter the measuring cylinder first, and then enter the mixing tank, which increases the operation steps. The measuring cylinder is also prone to raw material residue, making cleaning more troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above deficiencies, this application provides a food production mixing apparatus, which aims to improve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] This application provides a food production mixing device, including a mixing tank and a piston. The piston is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank. A stirring mechanism is telescopically connected to the center of the piston. A discharge pipe is provided below the mixing tank. An electric cylinder and a feeding mechanism are provided on the piston. The two ends of the electric cylinder are fixedly connected to the piston and the mixing tank, respectively.

[0008] In one specific embodiment, the mixing tank includes a cylinder, the piston is slidably connected to the cylinder, and a bottom plate is detachably connected to the lower end of the cylinder.

[0009] In the above process, the piston can be moved down to the bottom plate, which helps to drain the mixed raw materials. The bottom plate is connected by a flange, and the piston can be easily cleaned after the bottom plate is opened.

[0010] In one specific embodiment, the mixing tank further includes a top plate, which is fixedly connected to the cylinder, and the two ends of the electric cylinder are fixedly connected to the piston and the top plate, respectively.

[0011] In the above process, the electric cylinder drives the piston to move on the inner wall of the cylinder, thereby realizing the action of material extraction and discharge, and can also scrape the inner wall of the cylinder clean. The electric cylinder can precisely control the piston movement distance, thereby realizing the precise extraction of raw materials.

[0012] In one specific implementation, the feeding mechanism includes a telescopic tube, the two ends of which are fixedly connected to the piston and the top plate, respectively.

[0013] In the above implementation process, one end of the telescopic tube is connected to the top plate, and an interface is provided on the top plate to facilitate connection with the raw material source. The other end of the telescopic tube is connected to the lower surface of the piston. When the piston moves, the feeding can be kept connected. In addition, the telescopic tube is a steel pipe structure, which can also serve as a moving support for the piston to prevent tilting.

[0014] In one specific implementation, the feeding mechanism further includes a baffle and a sleeve, the sleeve being fixedly connected to the baffle and rotatably connected to the piston, the baffle being slidably connected to the lower surface of the piston, the baffle having a feed port adapted to the telescopic tube, and the baffle being movably sealed to the telescopic tube.

[0015] In the above process, the baffle can block all the telescopic pipes at the same time to achieve the blocking of the feed. When the baffle rotates to a specified angle, one of the feed ports is connected to the corresponding telescopic pipe. In this way, when the piston moves down, the raw material in the telescopic pipe can be drawn into the mixing tank. When the baffle rotates to another angle, the current feed port is closed and the other feed port is opened. This method can minimize the situation where some raw materials are stuck at the valve and cannot participate in the mixing when the raw materials are fed in.

[0016] In one specific implementation, the feeding mechanism further includes a feeding motor, which is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate, and the output end of the feeding motor is poweredly connected to the sleeve.

[0017] In the above implementation process, a sleeve extends upward from the center of the baffle. The sleeve passes through the piston and is powered by the feeding motor. The feeding motor is servo controlled and drives the baffle to rotate through gear meshing. In another embodiment, a solenoid valve is installed on the feeding pipe to replace the function of the baffle and the feeding motor.

[0018] In one specific implementation, the stirring mechanism includes a central shaft, the upper end of which is rotatably connected to the top plate, the central shaft movably passing through the piston and the top plate, the lower end of which is movably inserted into the bottom plate, and blades are elastically hinged on the central shaft.

[0019] In one specific implementation, the stirring mechanism further includes a stirring motor, which is mounted on the top plate, and the output end of the stirring motor is connected to the central shaft.

[0020] In the above process, the stirring motor drives the central shaft to rotate through the meshing of the worm gear and worm. The central shaft passes through the sleeve on the baffle and enters below the piston to participate in the stirring. The central shaft has a groove, and a spring is installed in the groove to push the blades out. The blades can be retracted in the groove to enter the sleeve, or they can be exposed and pushed out by the spring. The blades have a certain tilt angle. When the central shaft rotates, the blades generate the action of a propeller to stir and push the raw materials to mix. The counter-thrust also keeps the blades in an extended state.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are: the electric cylinder drives the piston to move inside the mixing tank, generating a material pumping action, accurately pumping the raw materials in the feeding mechanism into the mixing tank, simplifying the metering structure, and the piston can scrape the inner wall of the mixing tank clean, which is conducive to clean discharge.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-4 This application provides a food production mixing device, including a mixing tank 10 and a piston 20. The piston 20 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank 10, and a stirring mechanism 30 is telescopically connected to the center of the piston 20. A discharge pipe 40 is provided below the mixing tank 10, and an electric cylinder 50 and a feeding mechanism 60 are provided on the piston 20. The two ends of the electric cylinder 50 are fixedly connected to the piston 20 and the mixing tank 10, respectively. The electric cylinder 50 drives the piston 20 to move within the mixing tank 10, generating a suction effect, accurately drawing the raw material from the feeding mechanism 60 into the mixing tank 10. This simplifies the metering structure, and the piston 20 can scrape the inner wall of the mixing tank 10 clean, facilitating thorough discharge.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 The mixing tank 10 includes a cylinder 11, with a piston 20 slidably connected to the cylinder 11. A bottom plate 12 is detachably connected to the lower end of the cylinder 11. The piston 20 can be moved down to the bottom plate 12, which helps to drain the mixed raw materials. The bottom plate 12 is connected by a flange, and the piston 20 can be easily cleaned after the bottom plate 12 is opened.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-4 The mixing tank 10 also includes a top plate 13, which is fixedly connected to the cylinder 11. The two ends of the electric cylinder 50 are fixedly connected to the piston 20 and the top plate 13, respectively. The electric cylinder 50 drives the piston 20 to move on the inner wall of the cylinder 11, thereby realizing the action of material extraction and discharge, and can also scrape the inner wall of the cylinder 11 clean. The electric cylinder 50 can precisely control the moving distance of the piston 20, thereby realizing the precise extraction of raw materials.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-4 The feeding mechanism 60 includes a telescopic tube 61, with both ends of the telescopic tube 61 fixedly connected to the piston 20 and the top plate 13, respectively. One end of the telescopic tube 61 is connected to the top plate 13, which has an interface for easy connection to the raw material source. The other end of the telescopic tube 61 is connected to the lower surface of the piston 20, so that the feeding can be maintained even when the piston 20 moves. Furthermore, the telescopic tube 61 is a steel pipe structure, which can also serve as a moving support for the piston 20 to prevent tilting.

[0033] Please see Figures 1-4The feeding mechanism 60 also includes a baffle 62 and a sleeve 63. The sleeve 63 is fixedly connected to the baffle 62 and rotatably connected to the piston 20. The baffle 62 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the piston 20. The baffle 62 has a feed port adapted to the telescopic tube 61 and the baffle 62 is movably sealed to the telescopic tube 61. The baffle 62 can simultaneously seal all telescopic tubes 61 to achieve feed blocking. When the baffle 62 rotates to a specified angle, one of the feed ports is connected to the corresponding telescopic tube 61. In this way, when the piston 20 moves down, the raw material in the telescopic tube 61 can be drawn into the mixing tank 10. When the baffle 62 rotates to another angle, the current feed port is closed and the other feed port is opened. This method can minimize the situation where some raw material gets stuck at the valve and cannot participate in the mixing when the raw material is fed in.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-4 The feeding mechanism 60 also includes a feeding motor 64, which is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 12. The output end of the feeding motor 64 is poweredly connected to the sleeve 63. A sleeve 63 extends upward from the center of the baffle 62, and the sleeve 63 passes through the piston 20 and is poweredly connected to the feeding motor 64. The feeding motor 64 is servo-controlled and drives the baffle 62 to rotate through gear meshing. In another embodiment, a solenoid valve is installed on the feeding pipe to replace the functions of the baffle 62 and the feeding motor 64.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-4 The stirring mechanism 30 includes a central shaft 31, the upper end of which is rotatably connected to the top plate 13. The central shaft 31 movably passes through the piston 20 and the top plate 13, and the lower end of which is movably inserted into the bottom plate 12. Blades 32 are elastically hinged to the central shaft 31. The stirring mechanism 30 also includes a stirring motor 33, which is mounted on the top plate 13. The output end of the stirring motor 33 is poweredly connected to the central shaft 31. The stirring motor 33 drives the central shaft 31 to rotate through the meshing of the worm gear and worm. The central shaft 31 passes through the sleeve 63 on the baffle 62 and enters below the piston 20 to participate in stirring. The central shaft 31 has a groove, and a spring is installed in the groove to push the blades 32 out. The blades 32 can be retracted into the groove to enter the sleeve 63, or they can be exposed and pushed out by the spring. The blades 32 have a certain tilt angle. When the central shaft 31 rotates, the blades 32 generate the action of a propeller to stir and push the raw materials to mix. The counter-thrust also keeps the blades 32 in the extended state.

[0036] The working principle of this food production mixing device is as follows: Initially, piston 20 can move down to the bottom plate 12, compressing the space inside cylinder 11. Feed motor 64 drives sleeve 63 to rotate, which in turn drives baffle 62 to rotate. When it reaches a specified angle, one of the feed ports connects to the corresponding telescopic tube 61. Thus, when piston 20 moves down, the raw material in the telescopic tube 61 can be drawn into mixing tank 10. When baffle 62 rotates to another angle, the current feed port closes and the other feed port opens, continuing to draw other raw materials until all raw materials are drawn. During the upward movement of piston 20, blade 32 pops out from sleeve 63 in a tripod posture, and stirring motor 33 drives central shaft 31. The rotation drives the blades 32 to rotate, and the blades 32 generate a propeller effect to stir and propel the raw materials. After the mixing is complete, the electric cylinder 50 pushes the piston 20 to move down and discharge the raw materials from the outlet. At the same time, the baffle 62 will also squeeze the blades 32 to retract and shrink into the sleeve 63 until the baffle 62 is in contact with the bottom plate 12, so that the raw materials can be discharged completely. The piston 20 can also scrape the inner wall of the mixing tank 10 clean. In summary, the electric cylinder 50 drives the piston 20 to move in the mixing tank 10, generating a material suction effect, accurately drawing the raw materials in the feeding mechanism 60 into the mixing tank 10, simplifying the metering structure, and the piston 20 can scrape the inner wall of the mixing tank 10 clean, which is conducive to clean discharge.
