Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mixing technology, and specifically relates to a novel trough-type mixing machine structure. Background Technology

[0002] A mixer is a mechanical device that uses mechanical force and gravity to uniformly mix two or more materials. During the mixing process, the contact surface area of ​​the materials can be increased to promote chemical reactions and accelerate physical changes. Commonly used mixers are divided into four main categories: gas and low-viscosity liquid mixers, medium- and high-viscosity liquid and paste mixers, and powder and granular solid material mixers.

[0003] In the existing technology, the three-section mixing shaft has the advantage of being detachable and replaceable. However, the existing three-section mixing shaft is usually connected and fixed in the mixing chamber with screws. This can lead to nuts and screws falling off during the mixing process, contaminating the food materials being mixed, causing safety hazards, and making it impractical.

[0004] There are currently no effective solutions to the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model is a novel trough-type mixer structure, including a frame, a mixing chamber installed on the frame, two bearing seats symmetrically installed on the top side of the frame, the two bearing seats are coaxially arranged, a transmission component is rotatably installed in one bearing seat, a locking component is movably installed in the other bearing seat, a stirring component is arranged in the mixing chamber, and a snap-fit ​​structure is provided between the locking component and the stirring component, as well as between the stirring component and the transmission component.

[0006] The snap-fit ​​structure includes a snap-fit ​​plate 1 connected to both ends of the mixing assembly and a snap-fit ​​plate 2 connected to the ends of the locking assembly and the transmission assembly. One side of the snap-fit ​​plate 1 is provided with at least two mating protrusions, and one side of the snap-fit ​​plate 2 is provided with mating grooves of the same number as the mating protrusions. The mating protrusions are snapped into the interior of the mating grooves, and the mating protrusions and mating grooves correspond one-to-one, so that when the transmission assembly rotates, the mixing assembly and the locking assembly can rotate accordingly.

[0007] The locking assembly includes a short shaft, and a sleeve is fitted inside the bearing housing. The short shaft is fitted inside the sleeve and can move and rotate axially within the sleeve. The locking plate is coaxially connected to one end of the short shaft.

[0008] A fixing hole 1 is provided on the short shaft 1, and a fixing hole 2 is provided on the sleeve that houses the short shaft 1. The fixing hole 1 and the fixing hole 2 have the same diameter. The locking assembly also includes a screw. When the fixing hole 1 and the fixing hole 2 correspond, the screw can be inserted into the fixing hole 1 and the fixing hole 2 at the same time.

[0009] The transmission assembly includes a second short shaft, which is rotatably fitted inside a sleeve, allowing it to rotate freely within the sleeve. A second snap-fit ​​disc is coaxially connected to one end of the second short shaft, and a drive component is mounted on the other end of the second short shaft.

[0010] Two fixed bearing sleeves are symmetrically installed at both ends of the mixing chamber. The fixed bearing sleeves are coaxially installed with the bearing seats. One short shaft is installed in the sleeve and one fixed bearing sleeve, and the other short shaft is installed in the sleeve and another fixed bearing sleeve.

[0011] The mixing assembly includes a rotating rod and a clamping plate that are symmetrically and coaxially mounted at both ends of the rotating rod. Multiple mixing racks are mounted around the rotating rod.

[0012] The upper opening of the mixing chamber is equipped with a removable cover that completely covers the upper opening of the mixing chamber.

[0013] The cover plate has a discharge port, and a baffle is rotatably installed on the cover plate to completely cover the discharge port.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. This utility model, through the setting of the mating protrusion on the first clamping plate and the mating groove on the second clamping plate, enables the device to fix the stirring component into the mixing chamber without the need to use screws for connection inside the mixing chamber. This avoids the safety hazard of screws or nuts falling into the mixing chamber and contaminating the food materials when stirring them.

[0016] 2. This utility model uses screws to fix the short shaft to the sleeve, so that when the stirring component needs to be replaced, the screws can be removed, and the short shaft can be unlocked, no longer able to fix the stirring component. This allows the device to flexibly unlock the stirring component, allowing for the replacement of different stirring components or the maintenance of the stirring component, thus improving its practicality.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1-8 The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model are clearly and completely described herein. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 As shown:

[0029] This embodiment provides a novel trough-type mixer structure, including a frame 1, a mixing chamber 2 installed on the frame 1, two bearing seats 3 symmetrically installed on the top side of the frame 1, the two bearing seats 3 are coaxially arranged, a transmission component 4 is rotatably installed in one bearing seat 3, a locking component 5 is movably installed in the other bearing seat 3, a stirring component 6 is arranged in the mixing chamber 2, and a snap-fit ​​structure 7 is provided between the locking component 5 and the stirring component 6, and between the stirring component 6 and the transmission component 4.

[0030] The snap-fit ​​structure 7 includes a snap-fit ​​plate 1 8 connected to both ends of the mixing assembly 6 and a snap-fit ​​plate 2 9 connected to the ends of the locking assembly 5 and the transmission assembly 4. One side of the snap-fit ​​plate 1 8 is provided with at least two mating protrusions 10, and one side of the snap-fit ​​plate 2 9 is provided with mating grooves 11 in the same number as the mating protrusions 10. The mating protrusions 10 are snapped into the interior of the mating grooves 11, and the mating protrusions 10 and the mating grooves 11 correspond one-to-one, so that when the transmission assembly 4 rotates, the mixing assembly and the locking assembly 5 can rotate accordingly.

[0031] During installation, the locking component 5 is first installed in the bearing housing 3. Then, the stirring component 6 is installed in the mixing chamber 2. The mating groove 11 on the second snap-fit ​​plate 9 at the end of the transmission component 4 is mated with the mating protrusion 10 on the first snap-fit ​​plate 8 at the other end of the stirring component 6, thus connecting the transmission component 4 and the stirring component 6. Then, the locking component 5 is moved within the bearing housing 3, moving closer to the stirring component 6. During this approach, the mating groove 11 on the second snap-fit ​​plate 9 at the end of the locking component 5 gradually aligns with the mating protrusion 10 on the first snap-fit ​​plate 8 at the other end of the stirring component 6. When the two are fully aligned, the mating protrusion 10 snaps into the mating groove 11, achieving the snap-fit ​​connection between the locking component 5 and the stirring component 6. Thus, when the transmission component 4 rotates, the interaction between the mating groove 11 on the second snap-fit ​​plate 9 and the mating protrusion 10 on the first snap-fit ​​plate 8 causes the stirring component 6 to rotate, and the locking component 5 rotates accordingly. This allows the stirring component 6 to begin mixing the materials in the mixing chamber 2.

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8As shown, the locking assembly 5 includes a short shaft 12, and a sleeve 13 is fitted inside the bearing housing 3. The short shaft 12 is fitted inside the sleeve 13 and can move and rotate axially within the sleeve 13. The locking plate 2 9 is coaxially connected to one end of the short shaft 12. A fixing hole 14 is provided on the short shaft 12, and a fixing hole 2 15 is provided on the sleeve 13 on which the short shaft 12 is fitted. The fixing holes 14 and 2 are of the same diameter. The locking assembly 5 also includes a screw 16. When the fixing holes 14 and 2 are aligned, the screw 16 can be inserted into both fixing holes 14 and 2 15 simultaneously to fix the sleeve 13 and the short shaft 12. In the initial state, the screw 16 is not inserted into fixing holes 14 and 2 15. When one end of the stirring assembly 6 is installed... After the first clamping plate 8 is aligned with the second clamping plate 9 at the end of the transmission component, the short shaft 12 is moved closer to the other end of the stirring component 6. The two components are clamped together by the mating groove 11 on the second clamping plate 9 and the mating protrusion 10 on the first clamping plate 8 at one end of the stirring component 6. After the short shaft 12 is clamped with the stirring component 6, the second fixing hole 15 on it will correspond to the first fixing hole 14 on the sleeve 13. At this time, by rotating the screw 16 into the first fixing hole 14 and the second fixing hole 15, the sleeve 13 and the short shaft 12 are fixedly connected, so that the short shaft 12 and the sleeve 13 become fixedly connected. When the transmission component 4 drives the stirring component 6 and the short shaft 12 to rotate, the short shaft 12 and the sleeve 13 can rotate on the bearing seat 3.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the transmission assembly 4 includes a second short shaft 17, which is rotatably fitted inside the sleeve 13, allowing it to rotate freely within the sleeve 13. A second locking plate 9 is coaxially connected to one end of the second short shaft 17, and a drive component 18 is installed at the other end of the second short shaft 17. The drive component 18 is used to drive the second short shaft 17 to rotate. The drive component 18 may include, but is not limited to, a geared motor. When the second short shaft 17 is locked together with the first locking plate 8 of the mixing assembly 6 via the mating groove 11 on the second locking plate 9, the drive component 18 can drive the second short shaft 12 to rotate, so that the mixing assembly 6 and the first short shaft 12 can rotate simultaneously, driving the mixing assembly 6 to mix the food materials in the mixing chamber 2.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, two fixed bearing sleeves 19 are symmetrically installed at both ends of the mixing chamber 2. The fixed bearing sleeves 19 are coaxially installed with the bearing seat 3. The first short shaft 12 is fitted into the sleeve 13 and one fixed bearing sleeve 19, and the second short shaft 17 is fitted into the sleeve 13 and the other fixed bearing sleeve 19. By setting the fixed bearing sleeves 19 on the first short shaft 12 and the second short shaft 17, the stability and reliability of the first short shaft 12 and the second short shaft 17 during rotation can be improved, and the stability of the stirring assembly 6 during rotation can be greatly improved.

[0035] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the stirring assembly 6 includes a rotating rod 20 and a locking plate 8, which are symmetrically and coaxially mounted at both ends of the rotating rod 20. Multiple stirring racks 21 are mounted around the rotating rod 20. When the driving component 18 drives the short shaft 17, the rotating rod 20 and the short shaft 12 to rotate, the stirring racks 21 on the rotating rod 20 will rotate, and the food materials inside the mixing chamber 2 will be stirred and mixed.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, a detachable cover plate 22 is installed at the upper opening of the mixing chamber 2. The cover plate 22 can completely cover the upper opening of the mixing chamber 2. In the initial state, the cover plate 22 is in the covered state, which can completely close the upper opening of the mixing chamber 2. When it is necessary to place the rotating rod 20 inside the mixing chamber 2, the cover plate 22 is removed, so that the rotating rod 20 can be placed inside the mixing chamber 2 through the upper opening of the mixing chamber 2. After the rotating rod 20 is fixed to the short shaft 12 and the short shaft 27 by the locking discs 8 at both ends of the rotating rod 20, the cover plate 22 is then installed at the upper opening of the mixing chamber 2 to ensure the sealing effect of the mixing chamber 2 for mixing operation.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, a discharge port 23 is provided on the cover plate 22, and a baffle 24 is rotatably provided on the cover plate 22. The baffle 24 can completely cover the discharge port 23. In the initial state, the baffle 24 is in the state of covering the discharge port 23. When it is necessary to add food materials into the mixing chamber 2, the baffle 24 can be opened to add the food materials into the mixing chamber 2. It is no longer necessary to directly open the entire cover plate 22, which improves practicality.

[0038] The working principle of the novel trough-type mixer structure provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the short shaft 12 is fitted into the sleeve 13 and the fixed bearing sleeve 19. At this time, the short shaft 12 is in a movable state. Then, the rotating rod 20 is placed in the mixing chamber 2, and the mating protrusion 10 on the snap-fit ​​plate 8 at one end of the rotating rod 20 is aligned with the mating groove 11 on the snap-fit ​​plate 9 at one end of the short shaft 17. Then, by moving the short shaft 12, the mating groove 11 on the snap-fit ​​plate 9 at one end of the short shaft 12 is engaged with the mating protrusion 10 on the snap-fit ​​plate 8 at one end of the rotating rod 20. At this time, the fixing hole 15 on the short shaft 12 will correspond to the fixing hole 14 on the sleeve 13. Thus, by rotating the screw 16 into the fixing hole 14 and the fixing hole 15, the sleeve 13 and the short shaft 12 are fixedly connected, so that the short shaft 12... When the sleeve 13 becomes fixedly connected, the short shaft 12, the rotating rod 20, and the short shaft 27 are in a mutually locked and fixed state. When the drive component 18 drives the short shaft 27 to rotate, the rotating rod 20 and the short shaft 12 will rotate accordingly, so that the stirring rack 21 installed on the rotating rod 20 can perform mixing operations on food materials in the mixing chamber 2. When it is necessary to disassemble the entire stirring assembly 6, the operator first removes the screw 16 to release the fixed connection between the short shaft 12 and the sleeve 13, and then applies a reverse external force to the short shaft 12 to make it move axially within the sleeve 13 and the fixed bearing sleeve 19, causing the locking plate 29 installed on the short shaft 12 to move away from the stirring assembly 6, so that the docking protrusion 10 disengages from the docking groove 11. At this time, the stirring assembly 6 is in a detachable state and can be removed from the mixing chamber 2 for replacement or repair.

[0039] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
