Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of raw material mixing, and specifically relates to a raw material mixing equipment for making jujube fruit vinegar. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of jujube vinegar, the uniform mixing of raw materials is a crucial step affecting product quality. Existing technologies often employ single-roller or unidirectional mixing structures in raw material mixing equipment, resulting in low mixing efficiency, easy accumulation of raw materials, and uneven mixing. For example, in traditional equipment, raw materials often move in a single direction during mixing, leading to insufficient mixing in some areas, requiring extended mixing time, and increasing energy consumption and production costs. Furthermore, during the discharge stage, raw materials are prone to adhering to the inner wall of the mixing chamber or remaining inside the equipment, requiring manual cleaning. This not only reduces discharge efficiency but may also lead to bacterial growth from residues, affecting product hygiene and safety.

[0003] While some improved equipment enhances mixing through multi-roller structures, insufficient coordination between the rollers hinders the internal circulation of raw materials. Furthermore, the complex switching mechanisms between mixing and discharging modes in existing equipment result in low automation and an inability to efficiently adapt to continuous production requirements.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a raw material mixing equipment that can achieve efficient internal circulation mixing, automatic switching of mixing and discharging modes, and has anti-adhesion and rapid discharging functions, in order to solve the problems of low mixing efficiency, incomplete discharging and insufficient automation in the existing technology. Utility Model Content

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mixing device for raw materials in the production of jujube fruit vinegar, comprising: a base, a mixing mechanism, a driving mechanism, and a switching mechanism;

[0006] The drive mechanism is mounted on the base and is used to drive the mixing mechanism; the mixing mechanism is disposed on the base and is used to mix the manufacturing raw materials; the output end of the switching mechanism is connected to the drive mechanism and the output end is connected to the mixing mechanism.

[0007] The switching mechanism includes a protective housing, which is fixedly mounted on the mixing mechanism. An outer connecting ring is coaxially rotatably arranged inside the protective housing. One end of the outer connecting ring is connected to the driving mechanism, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the bearing. An inner guide wheel is fixedly arranged on the inner ring of the bearing, and a boss is formed on the outer surface of the inner guide wheel. Multiple rotating shafts are arranged around the circumference of the outer connecting ring, and locking blocks are rotatably installed on the rotating shafts.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, the locking block abuts against the boss when the mixing mechanism mixes the raw materials;

[0009] The locking block is slidably connected to the boss when the mixing mechanism discharges the raw materials.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, a torsion spring is provided at the connection between the locking block and the rotating shaft.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor, which is fixedly mounted on the base. The output end of the drive motor is connected to the input end of the belt drive assembly, and the output end of the belt drive assembly is connected to the input end of the gear set. The gear set is mounted on the base via a base.

[0012] The gear set has a first output shaft and a second output shaft at its two output ends, respectively.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, the second output shaft is coaxially connected to the outer connecting ring.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, the mixing mechanism includes: a mixing chamber, a first mixing roller, a stirring roller, and a second mixing roller;

[0015] The mixing chamber is fixedly installed on the base, and the first mixing roller is rotatably installed inside the mixing chamber. The input end of the first mixing roller is coaxially connected to the inner ring of the bearing.

[0016] The stirring roller is rotatably mounted on the mixing chamber and coaxially connected to the outer ring of the bearing; the second mixing roller is rotatably mounted inside the mixing chamber and coaxially connected to the first output shaft.

[0017] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes a feeding hopper and a discharging assembly;

[0018] The feed bin is fixedly installed on the mixing bin;

[0019] The discharge assembly is mounted on the base and connected to the discharge port of the mixing chamber.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. In the mixed rotation mode, the drive mechanism switches the outer connecting ring and inner guide wheel within the structure to rotate synchronously. This causes the first mixing roller and the stirring roller to rotate synchronously within the mixing chamber. The first mixing roller moves the raw materials for making jujube wine closer to the discharge assembly. Simultaneously, the rotation of the stirring roller prevents the raw materials from sticking together and promotes mixing. It also scrapes the inner wall of the mixing chamber to prevent the raw materials from adhering. Under the action of the gear set, the second mixing roller rotates in the opposite direction to the first mixing roller, causing the raw materials for making jujube wine within the mixing chamber to move away from the discharge assembly.

[0022] In other words, the combined effect of the first mixing roller and the second mixing roller enables the internal circulation and movement of the raw materials in the mixing chamber. At the same time, the stirring roller ensures the tumbling of the raw materials within the mixing chamber, thereby significantly improving the mixing effect and efficiency of the raw materials.

[0023] 2. In the discharge mode, the outer connecting ring and inner guide wheel in the switching structure of the drive mechanism are in a sliding state, so that the first mixing roller is in a stationary state and the stirring roller is in a rotating state. During the rotation, the stirring roller prevents the raw materials from sticking together and scrapes off the raw materials adhering to the inner wall of the mixing chamber, thereby improving the conveying effect of the second mixing roller on the raw materials and improving the discharge efficiency.

[0024] Driven by the first output shaft, the second mixing roller causes the raw materials for making jujube wine in the mixing chamber to move towards the side closer to the discharge component, thereby allowing the raw materials in the mixing chamber to be discharged through the discharge component 5.

Outer connecting ring; 63. Inner guide wheel; 64. Locking block; 65. Bearing. Detailed Implementation

[0034] See Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a mixing device for raw materials in the production of jujube vinegar is characterized by comprising: a base 1, a mixing mechanism 2, a driving mechanism 3, and a switching mechanism 6.

[0035] The drive mechanism 3 is installed on the base 1 and is used to drive the mixing mechanism 2. The mixing mechanism 3 is disposed on the base 1 and is used to mix the manufacturing raw materials. The output end of the switching mechanism 6 is connected to the drive mechanism 3 and the output end is connected to the mixing mechanism 2.

[0036] The switching mechanism 6 includes a protective housing 61, which is fixedly mounted on the mixing mechanism 2. An outer connecting ring 62 is coaxially rotatably arranged inside the protective housing 61. One end of the outer connecting ring 62 is connected to the driving mechanism 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to the outer ring of the bearing 65. An inner guide wheel 63 is fixedly arranged on the inner ring of the bearing 65, and a boss is formed on the outer surface of the inner guide wheel 63. Multiple rotating shafts are arranged around the circumference of the outer connecting ring 62, and locking blocks 64 are rotatably mounted on the rotating shafts.

[0037] The locking block 64 abuts against the boss when the mixing mechanism 2 mixes the raw materials;

[0038] The locking block 64 is slidably connected to the boss when the mixing mechanism 2 discharges the raw materials.

[0039] The raw materials for making jujube vinegar are poured into the mixing mechanism 2 through the feeding hopper 4. The drive mechanism 3 is started to the mixing rotation mode. Under this rotation direction, the locking block 64 will form an abutment state with the boss, so that the inner guide wheel 63 will rotate synchronously with the outer connecting ring 62.

[0040] like Figure 7As shown, when the inner guide wheel 63 rotates synchronously with the outer connecting ring 62, the raw materials for making jujube wine in the mixing mechanism 2 are circulated and stirred inside it, thereby preventing the raw materials from accumulating in one place during the stirring process, which would require increasing the running stirring time of the mixing mechanism 2 to solve the problem of insufficient mixing.

[0041] During the internal circulation stirring process, the raw materials for making jujube fruit wine can be quickly circulated within the mixing mechanism 2, which significantly improves the mixing effect per unit time, further enhances the mixing efficiency of the raw materials for making jujube fruit wine, and expands production benefits.

[0042] After the raw materials for making jujube fruit wine are mixed, the drive mechanism 3 is started to discharge mode. In this rotation direction, the locking block 64 will slide and connect with the boss, thereby causing the inner guide wheel 63 to disengage from the rotation of the outer connecting ring 62.

[0043] like Figure 8 As shown, when the inner guide wheel 63 is released from the synchronous rotation state with the outer connecting ring 62, the bearing 65 effectively avoids motion interference, allowing the fully mixed jujube fruit wine raw materials to move along the discharge direction in the mixing mechanism 2, thereby improving discharge efficiency.

[0044] At the same time, the mixing mechanism 2 can also scrape off the raw materials adhering to the inner wall, improving the discharge efficiency.

[0045] In summary, by changing the motion state of the drive mechanism 3 and combining it with the switching mechanism 6, the internal circulation of raw materials in the mixing mechanism 2 is mixed, improving the mixing effect and efficiency. Furthermore, after mixing is complete, the mixing mechanism 2 can quickly discharge its internal raw materials, achieving fully automated mixing and discharging operations and reducing the workload of workers.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, a torsion spring is provided at the connection between the locking block 64 and the rotating shaft. The torsion spring can stabilize the connection between the locking block 64 and the boss, and prevent the connection between the locking block 64 and the boss from failing.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the drive mechanism 3 includes a drive motor 31, which is fixedly mounted on the base 1. The output end of the drive motor 31 is connected to the input end of the belt drive assembly 32, and the output end of the belt drive assembly 32 is connected to the input end of the gear set 34. The gear set 34 is mounted on the base 1 via a base 33.

[0048] The gear set 34 has a first output shaft 35 and a second output shaft 36 at its two output ends, respectively.

[0049] The second output shaft 36 is coaxially connected to the outer connecting ring 62.

[0050] The drive motor 31 transmits its motion to the gear set 34 through the belt drive assembly 32. Under the action of the gear set 34, the first output shaft 35 and the second output shaft 36 of the gear set 34 maintain opposite rotation directions.

[0051] In the mixed rotation mode, the drive motor 31 rotates in the forward direction, the first output shaft 35 transmits power to the mixing mechanism 2, and at the same time the power of the second output shaft 36 is transmitted to the switching mechanism 6. Under this rotation, the outer connecting ring 62 and the inner guide wheel 63 rotate synchronously. This synchronous rotation, combined with the drive of the first output shaft 35, enables the mixing mechanism 2 to achieve an internal circulation mixing effect, which significantly improves the mixing effect and mixing efficiency of the raw materials.

[0052] In the discharge mode, the drive motor 31 rotates in reverse, the first output shaft 35 transmits power to the mixing mechanism 2, and the second output shaft 36 transmits power to the switching mechanism 6. Under this rotation, the outer connecting ring 62 cannot drive the inner guide wheel 63 to rotate. This rotation state, combined with the drive of the first output shaft 35, enables the mixing mechanism 2 to realize unidirectional conveying of raw materials and prevents raw materials from adhering to the inner wall, which significantly improves the discharge effect and discharge efficiency of the raw materials.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the mixing mechanism 2 includes: a mixing chamber 21, a first mixing roller 22, a stirring roller 23, and a second mixing roller 24;

[0054] The mixing chamber 21 is fixedly installed on the base 1, and the first mixing roller 22 is rotatably installed inside the mixing chamber 21. The input end of the first mixing roller 22 is coaxially connected to the inner ring of the bearing 65.

[0055] The stirring roller 23 is rotatably mounted on the mixing chamber 21 and coaxially connected to the outer ring of the bearing 65; the second mixing roller 24 is rotatably mounted inside the mixing chamber 21 and coaxially connected to the first output shaft 35.

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, in the mixed rotation mode, the drive mechanism 3 switches the outer connecting ring 62 and the inner guide wheel 63 in the switching structure 6 to rotate synchronously, so that the first mixing roller 22 and the stirring roller 23 rotate synchronously in the mixing chamber 21. The first mixing roller 22 will move the raw materials for making jujube wine to the side closer to the discharge component 5. At the same time, the rotation of the stirring roller 23 prevents the raw materials for jujube wine from sticking together and promotes the mixing effect. It can also scrape the inner wall of the mixing chamber 21 to prevent the raw materials from sticking together.

[0057] The second mixing roller 24, under the action of the gear set 34, will rotate in the opposite direction to the first mixing roller 22, causing the jujube fruit wine making raw materials in the mixing chamber 21 to move away from the discharge component 5.

[0058] That is, the effect of the first mixing roller 22 combined with the effect of the second mixing roller 24 realizes the circulation of raw materials in the mixing chamber 21. At the same time, under the action of the stirring roller 23, the raw materials are ensured to tumble in the space of the mixing chamber 21, thereby significantly improving the mixing effect and mixing efficiency of the raw materials.

[0059] like Figure 8 As shown, in the discharge mode, the drive mechanism 3 switches the outer connecting ring 62 and the inner guide wheel 63 in the switching structure 6 to a sliding state, so that the first mixing roller 22 is stationary and the stirring roller 23 is rotating. During the rotation, the stirring roller 23 prevents the raw materials from sticking together and scrapes off the raw materials adhering to the inner wall of the mixing chamber 21, thereby improving the conveying effect of the second mixing roller 24 on the raw materials and improving the discharge efficiency.

[0060] Driven by the first output shaft 35, the second mixing roller 24 causes the raw materials for making jujube wine in the mixing chamber 21 to move towards the side closer to the discharge assembly 5, thereby allowing the raw materials in the mixing chamber 21 to be discharged through the discharge assembly 5.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, it also includes a feeding hopper 4 and a discharging assembly 5;

[0062] The feed bin 4 is fixedly installed on the mixing bin 21;

[0063] The discharge assembly 5 is mounted on the base 1 and connected to the discharge port of the mixing chamber 21. In the mixing state, the discharge assembly 5 seals the discharge port to prevent raw materials from flowing out. In the discharge state, the discharge assembly 5 releases the seal on the discharge port to facilitate the discharge of raw materials.

[0064] Specifically, various raw materials are poured into the mixing chamber 21 according to the proportion through the feeding chamber 4, the drive mechanism 2 is started and the rotation state of the first mixing roller 22 and the second mixing roller 24 is changed through the switching mechanism 6, and the raw materials are mixed and stirred in an internal circulation manner in the mixing chamber 21 under the action of the stirring roller 23, thereby significantly improving the mixing effect and mixing efficiency.

[0065] During discharge, the first mixing roller 22 remains stationary. The raw materials that have been mixed in the mixing chamber 21 are moved toward the discharge port by the action of the second mixing roller 24 and the rotation of the stirring roller 23, and are finally discharged from the mixing chamber 21 by the action of the discharge assembly 5.

[0066] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be primarily defined by the scope of the claims.
