[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a homogenizing device for beverage processing: a homogenizing device for beverage processing includes a homogenizing tank 1, a brake shaft 7 inside the tank body of the homogenizing tank 1, a brake motor 2 above the tank body of the homogenizing tank 1 to drive the brake shaft 7, a pumping assembly at the bottom of the homogenizing tank 1 along the axial direction of the brake shaft 7, and a stirring assembly inside the tank body of the homogenizing tank 1 along the axial direction of the brake shaft 7. The beverage to be processed is added into the homogenizing tank 1 through the feed inlet 3, and then the brake motor 2 is controlled to operate, driving the brake shaft 7. As a drive source, the pumping assembly and the stirring assembly are driven to operate in conjunction, performing diversified mixing and homogenization of the beverage in the homogenizing tank 1. Specifically:

[0025] The pumping assembly includes an impeller pump 12 axially positioned at the bottom of the homogenizing tank 1 along the brake shaft 7. The discharge port of the impeller pump 12 is connected to a supply pipe 13. One set of discharge ports of the supply pipe 13 is connected to a return pipe 4, and the other end of the return pipe 4 extends to the upper end of the homogenizing tank 1. The other set of discharge ports of the supply pipe 13 is connected to a drain pipe 5, and the other end of the drain pipe 5 is connected to a filter cartridge 6. The discharge port of the supply pipe 13 is provided with a tee 131 connected to the return pipe 4 and the drain pipe 5. When the brake shaft 7 rotates, it drives the impeller pump 12 to work, pumping the beverage at the bottom of the tank into the supply pipe 13, so that it flows through one set of ports of the tee 131 into the return pipe 4. By utilizing the conduction of the return pipe 4, the beverage at the bottom of the tank is circulated and pumped to the upper end of the tank, forming an up-and-down circulation state to improve the fullness and comprehensiveness of beverage mixing and homogenization.

[0026] It should be noted that the return pipe 4 is equipped with a return valve 41 along its pipeline direction, and the drain pipe 5 is equipped with a drain valve 51 along its pipeline direction. When homogenizing and mixing the beverage, the return valve 41 is opened in advance to allow the beverage to circulate back to the tank along the return pipe 4. After the beverage homogenization and mixing is completed, the drain valve 51 is opened to allow the beverage to flow along the drain pipe 5 under pumping, and the beverage is filtered and discharged under the filtration of the filter cartridge 6, thus completing the homogenization and mixing work.

[0027] In addition, the inner cylinder of the filter cylinder 6 is provided with a first filter screen 61 and a second filter screen 62 from top to bottom. When the beverage is discharged along the filter cylinder 6, the first filter screen 61 and the second filter screen 62 installed inside it are used to perform double filtration and impurity removal work on the beverage.

[0028] As a further embodiment, the stirring assembly includes a sliding shaft 8 mounted on the brake shaft 7 and a second feeding paddle 11 with staggered sliding shafts 8 located at the bottom of the brake shaft 7. A lifting sleeve 9 is slidably connected to the sliding shaft 8 along its axial direction. A first feeding paddle 10 is located at the bottom end of the lifting sleeve 9, and a buoyancy frame 14 extending to the wall of the homogenizing tank 1 is rotatably connected to the top end of the lifting sleeve 9. Buoyancy airbags 15 are provided on both sides of the support of the buoyancy frame 14. When beverage is added to the homogenizing tank 1, the buoyancy of the beverage pushes the buoyancy airbags. The buoyancy airbag 15 always floats on the surface of the beverage. While the buoyancy airbag 15 floats, the buoyancy frame 14 drives the lifting sleeve 9 to slide along the sliding shaft 8, causing the first feeding paddle 10 on the lifting sleeve 9 to move up and down relative to the second feeding paddle 11. This keeps the two sets of feeding paddles at a dynamic distance and always submerged in the beverage, allowing for thorough mixing of the upper and lower layers of the beverage. Then, the braking shaft 7 drives the combined operation of the first feeding paddle 10 and the second feeding paddle 11 to mix and homogenize the beverage.

[0029] Furthermore, both ends of the support of the buoyancy frame 14 are equipped with lifting slides 16, and the inner wall of the homogenizing tank 1 is provided with lifting rails 17 that are slidably connected to the lifting slides 16 in an opposing manner. The combination of the lifting slides 16 and the lifting rails 17 serves to guide and limit the movement, so that the buoyancy airbag 15 maintains a stable lifting displacement while moving the buoyancy airbag 15 in a single direction, thus preventing the buoyancy airbag 15 from rotating synchronously with the rotation of the sliding shaft 8, thereby ensuring the buoyancy stability of the buoyancy airbag 15.

[0030] It should be noted that the sliding shaft 8 is a prismatic shaft structure, and the sleeve of the lifting sleeve 9 is provided with a prismatic groove that is compatible with the sliding shaft 8. By setting the sliding shaft 8 as a prismatic shaft structure, the lifting sleeve 9 can slide up and down along the sliding shaft 8 while maintaining a synchronous force state, so that the first feeding paddle 10 can rotate synchronously with the rotation of the brake shaft 7.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When homogenizing and mixing beverages, the beverage to be processed is added into the homogenizing tank 1 through the feed inlet 3. When the beverage is added into the homogenizing tank 1, the buoyancy of the beverage pushes the buoyancy airbag 15 to always float on the surface of the beverage. While the buoyancy airbag 15 is floating, the buoyancy frame 14 drives the lifting slide sleeve 9 to slide along the sliding shaft 8, so that the first feeding paddle 10 on the lifting slide sleeve 9 is displaced relative to the second feeding paddle 11, so that the two sets of feeding paddles maintain a dynamic distance and are always immersed in the beverage, so as to fully stir and mix the upper and lower layers of the beverage.

[0032] Furthermore, after the feeding is completed, the brake motor 2 is controlled to work, driving the brake shaft 7 to work. As a driving source, it drives the sliding shaft 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the first feeding paddle 10 on the sliding shaft 8 combined with the lifting sleeve 9 and the second feeding paddle 11 on the brake shaft 7 to work together to stir and homogenize the beverage. On the other hand, it drives the impeller pump 12 to work, pumping the beverage from the bottom of the tank into the supply pipe 13, and opens the return valve 41 in advance, so that the beverage flows through one of the ports of the three-way 131 into the return pipe 4. By utilizing the conduction of the return pipe 4, the beverage from the bottom of the tank is pumped to the upper end of the tank, forming an up-and-down circulation state to improve the fullness and comprehensiveness of the beverage mixing and homogenization.

[0033] After the beverage mixing and homogenization is completed, the vent valve 51 can be opened to allow the beverage to flow along the vent pipe 5 under pumping, and then be filtered and discharged by the filter cartridge 6, thus completing the homogenization and mixing process. This makes the homogenization and mixing and unloading of the beverage more efficient and faster.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model are implemented according to conventional methods in the art, unless otherwise specified or limited.
