Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a mixing and stirring device for a six-ingredient formula, including a mixing tank 1, a stirring assembly 2, a feed pipe 3, and a discharge pipe 4. One end of the feed pipe 3 is connected to the top of the mixing tank 1, and one end of the discharge pipe 4 is connected to the bottom of the mixing tank 1. The stirring assembly 2 is installed on the mixing tank 1. A uniform heating assembly 5 is provided on the outside of the mixing tank 1, and a heat preservation and protection assembly 6 is provided on the outside of the mixing tank 1.

The heating block 53 is electrically connected to a temperature controller 55 through wires, and the temperature controller 55 is located on one side of the mixing tank 1.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a uniform heating component 5, the heating block 53 can be activated when heating is required during use, so that the heating block 53 outputs heat. Copper has good thermal conductivity, and the heat generated by the heating block 53 can be quickly transferred to the copper sheet 54 through the copper ring 52, thereby uniformly heating the material in the mixing tank 1, making the material more evenly heated, providing a stable heating environment for the fermentation of Liushenqu, which helps the growth and metabolism of microorganisms during the fermentation process, ensuring the fermentation effect. The temperature controller 55 can control the heating temperature of the heating block 53.

[0027] refer to Figure 2 The thermal insulation and protection component 6 includes an insulation board 61, a protective board 62 installed on the outside of the insulation board 61, a temperature controller 55 installed on one side of the protective board 62, a first temperature sensor 63 installed on the top of the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, and the first temperature sensor 63 is electrically connected to a control box 64 through a wire. The control box 64 is installed on one side of the protective board 62.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a uniform heating component 5, the heating block 53 can be activated when heating is required during use, so that the heating block 53 outputs heat. Copper has good thermal conductivity, and the heat generated by the heating block 53 can be quickly transferred to the copper sheet 54 through the copper ring 52, thereby uniformly heating the material in the mixing tank 1, making the material more evenly heated, providing a stable heating environment for the fermentation of Liushenqu, which helps the growth and metabolism of microorganisms during the fermentation process, ensuring the fermentation effect. The temperature controller 55 can control the heating temperature of the heating block 53.

[0029] refer to Figure 2 A graphene ring 7 is installed on the outer side of the copper ring 52, and a heat insulation ring 8 is installed on the outer side of the inner wall of the mounting groove 51. The heating block 53 is located inside the heat insulation ring 8.

[0030] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting graphene ring 7 and heat insulation ring 8, graphene ring 7 has excellent thermal conductivity, which can further enhance the uniformity of heat conduction on copper ring 52, making the material in the mixing tank 1 more uniformly heated. Heat insulation ring 8 can prevent the heat generated by heating block 53 from being dissipated to the outside in unnecessary directions, improve heat utilization efficiency, and concentrate more heat in the mixing tank 1 for material heating, which is both energy-saving and ensures temperature stability.

[0031] refer to Figure 3 One side of the insulation ring 8 is connected to a connecting pipe 9, and the other end of the connecting pipe 9 is connected to a central box 10. A hot air blower 11 is installed on the front of the central box 10.

[0032] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a connecting pipe 9, a central box 10 and a hot air blower 11, the hot air blower 11 can deliver air through the central box 10 to the interior of the heat insulation ring 8 through the connecting pipe 9, so that the air in the mounting groove 51 circulates, which enhances the heating uniformity of the heating block 53 during use and avoids uneven heating during use.

[0033] refer to Figure 3 The suction end of the hot air blower 11 is connected to a fixed box 12, and a fixed pipe 13 is connected to one side of the fixed box 12. The other end of the fixed pipe 13 is connected to the front of the heat insulation ring 8.

[0034] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a fixed box 12 and a fixed pipe 13, the hot air blower 11 can draw in air from the inside of the mounting groove 51 through the fixed box 12 and the fixed pipe 13 during use, and then deliver it to the inside of the mounting groove 51 for circulation after heating.

[0035] refer to Figure 2A thermocouple temperature sensor 14 is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, and the control box 64 is electrically connected to the thermocouple temperature sensor 14 via a wire.

[0036] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a thermocouple temperature sensor 14, which is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 and electrically connected to the control box 64, the temperature of the material at the bottom of the mixing tank 1 can be measured in real time and accurately. Since there may be temperature differences at different locations inside the mixing tank 1, the thermocouple temperature sensor 14 can supplement the measurement data of the first temperature sensor 63, allowing the operator to have a more comprehensive understanding of the temperature distribution inside the tank.

[0037] refer to Figure 2 The inner side of the copper sheet 54 is coated with a modified PTFE coating 15. A second temperature sensor 16 is installed on one side of the middle of the mixing tank 1. The control box 64 is electrically connected to the second temperature sensor 16 through a wire.

[0038] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a modified PTFE coating 15 and a second temperature sensor 16 are provided. The modified PTFE coating has good anti-corrosion, low friction and self-cleaning properties. Spraying this coating on the inside of the copper sheet 54 can prevent the copper sheet 54 from being corroded by the raw materials of Liushenqu or substances produced during fermentation, thus extending the service life of the copper sheet 54. On the other hand, the low friction and self-cleaning properties help the material flow more smoothly during the stirring process, avoiding the material from adhering to the copper sheet 54, which would affect the stirring effect and the uniformity of material mixing. The second temperature sensor 16 is installed on one side of the middle of the mixing tank 1, which can monitor the temperature of the material in the middle of the mixing tank 1 in real time. Combined with the data from the thermocouple temperature sensor 14 and the first temperature sensor 63, it provides the operator with more comprehensive and accurate temperature information inside the tank, which facilitates more precise temperature control and ensures the stability of the Liushenqu fermentation process.

[0039] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the stirring assembly 2 is activated to thoroughly stir the materials, ensuring that all raw materials are mixed evenly according to precise proportions, guaranteeing uniform distribution of the Liushenqu (a type of fermented beverage). When heating is required, the temperature controller 55 controls the heating block 53 to operate according to the preset temperature value. The heating block 53 generates heat, which, due to the excellent thermal conductivity of copper, is rapidly transferred through the copper ring 52 to the copper sheet 54, thus uniformly heating the materials in the stirring tank 1. The graphene ring 7 further enhances the uniformity of heat conduction on the copper ring 52, making the materials more evenly heated, providing a stable heating environment for Liushenqu fermentation, and promoting the growth and metabolism of microorganisms during fermentation. The insulation plate 61 effectively reduces heat loss from the stirring tank 1 to the external environment, reducing energy consumption. The protective plate 62 protects the insulation plate 61, extending its service life, and prevents operators from being injured by contact with the high-temperature stirring tank 1 during operation. The first temperature sensor 63 monitors the temperature at the top of the stirring tank 1 in real time and transmits the data to the control box 64, allowing operators to monitor temperature changes within the tank and adjust heating or other methods accordingly. He operates the system, drawing air from the mounting groove 51 through the fixed box 12 and fixed pipe 13. After heating, the hot air is transported to the insulation ring 8 through the connecting pipe 9, creating a wind circulation within the mounting groove 51. This not only enhances the heating uniformity of the heating block 53, preventing uneven heating, but also further increases the temperature inside the mixing tank 1, maintaining temperature stability. The insulation ring 8 prevents the heat generated by the heating block 53 from dissipating unnecessarily to the outside, improving heat utilization efficiency and concentrating more heat inside the mixing tank 1 for material heating. The thermocouple temperature sensor 14 is installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 to accurately measure the temperature of the material at the bottom of the mixing tank 1 in real time. The second temperature sensor 16 is installed on one side of the middle of the mixing tank 1 to monitor the temperature of the material in the middle of the mixing tank 1. These sensors, combined with the data from the first temperature sensor 63, provide the operator with comprehensive and accurate temperature information inside the tank. Based on this data, the operator precisely controls the heating temperature of the heating block 53 through the temperature controller 55, ensuring that the fermentation process of Liushenqu is always in a suitable temperature environment, achieving the effect of heating and heat preservation, and enhancing the effectiveness of the mixing device.

[0040] In summary, this new mixing and stirring device for Liushenqu (a type of Chinese herbal medicine) solves the problem that existing mixing and stirring devices cannot regulate and maintain the temperature during use. Furthermore, Liushenqu is sensitive to temperature during the mixing and fermentation process, which leads to uneven fermentation and mixing of materials, causing inconvenience and reducing the effectiveness of the mixing and stirring device.
