Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solid beverage processing technology, and in particular relates to a pellet mill for solid beverage processing. Background Technology

[0002] Solid beverages refer to beverages made primarily from sugar, milk and dairy products, eggs or egg products, fruit juice or edible plant extracts, and are in powder, granule or block form, such as soy crystal powder, malted milk powder, instant coffee, chrysanthemum crystals, etc. Protein-based solid beverages are also included. During the production of solid beverages, the materials need to be ground using appropriate grinding equipment to achieve a granular form.

[0003] Currently, the raw materials for solid beverages are all in block form. The block materials are poured into a grinding device for grinding. However, the block materials are of different sizes, and some larger materials require a long time to be ground into smaller pieces. In addition, the materials after grinding are still of different sizes, resulting in poor grinding effect. Therefore, multiple grinding is required to completely turn the raw materials into particles of the specified size. However, multiple grinding consumes manpower and resources, resulting in low grinding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0017] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application; the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and foregoing drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, or foregoing drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a particular order.

[0018] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0019] This utility model embodiment provides a pellet mill for processing solid beverages, such as... Figure 1-3As shown, the device includes a grinding chamber 1 and a crushing chamber 2. The crushing chamber 2 is installed on top of the grinding chamber 1 and has a slot at its bottom that communicates with the grinding chamber 1. A discharge chute 3 is installed at the bottom of the grinding chamber 1. A motor 4 is installed on the top of the crushing chamber 2. A rotating shaft 5 is rotatably installed at the center of the top of the crushing chamber 2. The output shaft of the motor 4 is connected to the top of the rotating shaft 5. Crushing blades 6 are installed on the side wall of the rotating shaft 5. The crushing blades 6 are located at the bottom of the crushing chamber 2. A grinding roller 7 is connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 5. The grinding roller 7 is located at the center of the grinding chamber 1 and is cylindrical. The inner side wall of the grinding chamber 1 is truncated cone-shaped. A feed chute 8 is installed at the top edge of the crushing chamber 2. The discharge chute 3 is supported by a bracket 9. When the device is in use, the motor 4 is started to drive the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, and the material to be processed is poured into the crushing chamber 2 from the feed chute 8. After the material enters the crushing chamber 2, the rotating shaft 5 drives the crushing blades 6 to rotate to break up the large clumps of material. The broken material falls from the center of the feed chute 8. The material enters the grinding chamber 1 and is positioned between the inner wall of the grinding chamber 1 and the grinding roller 7. Because the inner wall of the grinding chamber 1 is designed as an inverted frustum, the distance between the inner wall of the grinding chamber 1 and the grinding roller 7 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Material blocks of different sizes and shapes will slowly fall under the action of gravity and be ground down by the grinding roller 7 during the falling process. Material that is not of a specified size cannot be discharged until the material particles are ground to a certain size and then fall out through the gap between the grinding roller 7 and the grinding chamber 1. The device is equipped with a crushing blade 6, which can quickly break down larger blocks of material and bring them into the grinding chamber 1 for grinding within a certain size. This design can prevent larger blocks of material from clogging the chamber and also speed up the subsequent forming process and improve grinding efficiency. The cylindrical grinding roller 7 and the inverted frustum-shaped grinding chamber 1 can grind the material in one go without producing materials of different sizes.

[0020] The crushing blades 6 are arranged in six sets, which are distributed in a circumferential array on the surface of the rotating shaft 5. The bottom inner wall of the crushing chamber 2 is set as an arc surface. The lower surface of the crushing blades 6 is in contact with the inner wall of the crushing chamber 2. The six sets of crushing blades 6 can quickly break up lumpy materials. By setting the inner wall of the crushing chamber 2 as an arc surface, some materials can be prevented from accumulating inside. The crushing blades 6 are in contact with the crushing chamber 2 and can scrape its bottom, so that the materials can completely enter the grinding chamber 1.

[0021] The upper end of the grinding roller 7 is shaped like a frustum, and the inner wall of the discharge trough 3 is curved. This design prevents some of the material from accumulating on the top of the grinding roller 7, while the curved inner wall of the discharge trough 3 allows the material to be discharged in a concentrated manner, avoiding residue.

[0022] The bottom of the discharge trough 3 is provided with an opening, and a discharge cylinder 10 is installed on the outside of the opening. A fan 11 is installed on the side of the support 9. The side wall of the discharge cylinder 10 is provided with an opening, and the opening is connected to the air inlet of the fan 11 through an air duct. A collection chamber 12 is installed on the surface of the support 9. The collection chamber 12 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 11 through an air duct. With the fan 11 and the collection chamber 12 provided, the fan 11 can be started when the material is being ground. The fan 11 generates suction inside the discharge cylinder 10 through the air duct, thereby sucking in the dust generated during grinding and preventing the dust from being discharged and scattered into the air.

[0023] The inner wall of the discharge cylinder 10 is shaped like a frustum, and a mesh frame 13 is installed at the opening of the side wall of the discharge cylinder 10. By setting the mesh frame 13, the ground granular material can be prevented from being sucked into the blower 11.

[0024] A connecting rod 14 is installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 5. A scraper 16 is installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 14 via a fixing frame 15. The scraper 16 is in contact with the surface of the mesh frame 13. With the scraper 16 installed, the grinding roller 7 drives the scraper 16 to rotate via the rotating shaft 5 to scrape the surface of the mesh frame 13 while grinding. This setting can prevent some particulate material from getting stuck in the mesh of the mesh frame 13 and causing blockage.
