[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of this utility model provides a fruit and vegetable ingredient conveying device, including a mixing chamber 1. Three ingredient bins 2 are arranged on the front left side of the mixing chamber 1. Each ingredient bin 2 is fixedly connected to an inlet 3 on its upper side. A sealing cover 4 is arranged on the upper side of the inlet 3. Each ingredient bin 2 is fixedly connected to an outlet pipe 5 on its right side. A conveying pump 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the outlet pipe 5 away from the ingredient bin 2. The conveying pump 6 is fixedly installed on the outside of the mixing chamber 1. A solenoid valve 7 is fixedly installed on the outside of the outlet pipe 5. A stirring assembly 8 is arranged inside the mixing chamber 1. The stirring assembly 8 includes a motor 81. The motor 81 is installed on the upper side of the mixing chamber 1. A stirring shaft 83 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 81. A stirring blade 82 is fixedly connected to the outside of the stirring shaft 83. A nozzle 11 is arranged on the upper side of the stirring blade 82. A connecting rod 84 is fixedly connected to the outside of the stirring shaft 83. A scraper 85 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting rod 84. The scraper 85 and the stirring blade 82 are rotatably connected inside the mixing chamber 1.

[0026] Specifically, the operator feeds various fruit and vegetable ingredients through the inlet 3 and stores them into the corresponding ingredient bins 2 according to their type. After feeding, the sealing cover 4 is immediately closed to effectively prevent the ingredients from getting damp, contaminated, or scattered, ensuring that the quality of the ingredients is not affected by external factors. When the production process progresses to the stage where ingredients need to be transported, the controller 14 precisely controls the opening of the solenoid valve 7 according to the pre-set program. At the same time, the conveying pump 6 is started. After the conveying pump 6 is started, it uses the suction generated by the discharge pipe 5 to draw out the ingredients from the ingredient bins 2 and transport them to the mixing bins 1 along the discharge pipe 5. During the continuous transport of ingredients to the mixing bins 1, the controller 14 immediately starts the motor 81. The output end of the motor 81 quickly drives the stirring shaft 83 to rotate. The stirring blades 82 installed on the stirring shaft 83 rotate accordingly, stirring and mixing the various fruit and vegetable ingredients entering the mixing bins 1, so that different types of fruit and vegetable ingredients can be mixed evenly together, meeting the production requirements for the uniformity of ingredient mixing.

[0027] A water spray base 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing chamber 1. A nozzle 11 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the water spray base 10. A water inlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the water spray base 10. A discharge channel 12 is fixedly connected to the right side of the mixing chamber 1. An adjustment component 13 is provided on the upper side of the discharge channel 12.

[0028] Specifically, when the inner wall of the mixing chamber 1 needs cleaning, an external water source is connected through the water inlet pipe 9. After the water source is connected, the water flows through the water inlet pipe 9 to the spray base 10. The nozzle 11 installed on the spray base 10 sprays water at a specific angle due to its tilted installation angle. The water flow directly hits the inner wall of the mixing chamber 1. At the same time, the motor 81 is started, and the motor 81 drives the stirring shaft 83 to rotate. The stirring shaft 83 further drives the connecting rod 84 and the scraper 85 connected to the connecting rod 84 to rotate. During the rotation, the scraper 85, together with the water flow sprayed by the nozzle 11, cleans the impurities attached to the inner wall of the mixing chamber 1, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the inside of the mixing chamber 1 and provide a good equipment environment for subsequent production.

[0029] The adjustment assembly 13 includes a fixed frame 131, which is fixedly connected to the upper side of the discharge channel 12. An electric push rod 134 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the fixed frame 131. A baffle 132 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 134. A sliding groove 133 is opened inside the discharge channel 12. The baffle 132 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 133. A controller 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mixing chamber 1. The controller 14 is electrically connected to the motor 81, the delivery pump 6 and the solenoid valve 7.

[0030] Specifically, the mixed fruit and vegetable ingredients are discharged through the discharge channel 12. By controlling the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 134, the baffle 132 is driven to slide up and down in the sliding groove 133 preset inside the discharge channel 12. This allows for flexible adjustment of the size of the outlet of the discharge channel 12, thereby precisely controlling the discharge speed and quantity of the ingredients to meet the diverse needs of different production scenarios.

[0031] Working principle: When using this device, fruit and vegetable ingredients are stored separately into different ingredient bins 2 through the inlet 3. After feeding, the sealing cover 4 is closed to prevent the ingredients from getting damp, contaminated, or spilling. When it is necessary to transport the ingredients, the controller 14 controls the solenoid valve 7 to open according to the preset program, and at the same time starts the conveying pump 6. The conveying pump 6 draws the ingredients from the ingredient bins 2 through the discharge pipe 5 and transports them to the mixing bin 1. At the same time as the ingredients are transported to the mixing bin 1, the controller 14 starts the motor 81. The output end of the motor 81 drives the agitator. The mixing shaft 83 rotates, and the mixing blades 82 on the mixing shaft 83 mix the ingredients entering the mixing chamber 1, so that different kinds of fruit and vegetable ingredients can be evenly mixed together. The mixed fruit and vegetable ingredients are discharged through the discharge channel 12. The controller 14 controls the extension and retraction of the electric push rod 134. The electric push rod 134 drives the baffle 132 to slide up and down in the sliding groove 133 inside the discharge channel 12, thereby adjusting the size of the outlet of the discharge channel 12 to control the discharge speed and discharge amount of the ingredients to meet different production needs.

[0032] When it is necessary to clean the inner wall of the mixing chamber 1, an external water source is connected through the water inlet pipe 9, and the water is delivered to the spray base 10 and sprayed out through the nozzle 11. The nozzle 11 is installed at an angle on the spray base 10, and the water sprayed out by the nozzle 11 rushes into the inner wall. At the same time, the motor 81 is started, and the motor 81 drives the stirring shaft 83 to rotate. The stirring shaft 83 drives the connecting rod 84 and the scraper 85 to rotate. Through the cooperation of water and scraper 85, the impurities on the inner wall are cleaned.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
