In the process of making salad dressing, oil needs to be added intermittently and in measured amounts to achieve a rich taste. During the oil addition, acidulants such as vinegar or lemon juice also need to be added alternately.
[0003] In existing technologies, salad dressing requires the addition of specific amounts of oil and acidulant alternately in stages during preparation. This means that workers need to return to their workstations periodically to manually add oil or acidulant while the raw materials are being stirred. This not only increases the workload of the workers, but also makes it easy for errors to occur when manually adding oil and acidulant, thus affecting the taste of the salad dressing.
[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a multi-material blending device for salad dressing production. Utility Model Content

This not only increases the workload of the workers, but also makes it easy for errors to occur when manually adding oil and acidulant, thus affecting the taste of the salad dressing, this utility model proposes a multi-material mixing device for salad dressing production.

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the multi-material mixing device for salad dressing production of this utility model includes a base 1, a cylinder 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, multiple feed pipes 3 fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder 2, a discharge pipe 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cylinder 2, a collector 5 located below the discharge pipe 4, the collector 5 placed on the base 1, a motor 6 fixedly mounted on the top of the cylinder 2, a rotating shaft 7 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 6, a stirring rod 9 rotatably connected to the center of the top of the cylinder 2, the bottom end of the stirring rod 9 extending into the inner cavity of the cylinder 2 and fixedly connected to multiple stirring plates 10, synchronous pulleys fixedly connected to both the rotating shaft 7 and the stirring rod 9, and the two synchronous pulleys are driven by a synchronous belt 8, an annular support 11 fixedly connected to the top of the cylinder 2, multiple measuring cylinders 12 fixedly connected to the annular support 11, a liquid inlet mechanism located below the measuring cylinders 12, and an adjustment mechanism located between the motor 6 and the annular support 11; during operation, the... The operator first places the oil and acidulant required for the preparation into multiple measuring cylinders 12 at the required intervals. Then, the ingredients needed to prepare the salad dressing are sequentially added into the cylinder 2 through the feed pipe 3. After that, the motor 6 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. This causes the stirring rod 9 to rotate under the transmission of the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt 8, thereby allowing the stirring plate 10 to mix and blend with the various materials in the cylinder 2. During the mixing process, the liquid inlet mechanism below the measuring cylinder 12 can be opened sequentially at intervals by the motor 6 and the adjustment mechanism, allowing the oil and acidulant in the measuring cylinder 12 to enter the cylinder 2 intermittently. This achieves automated alternating addition of oil and acidulant during the salad dressing preparation process, which not only solves the problem of manually adding oil and acidulant at fixed times and quantities, but also maintains the stability of the emulsion system during mixing, avoiding oil separation or clumping.
[0026] The liquid inlet mechanism includes a lower liquid pipe 20, a liquid storage ring 21, and an inlet pipe 23. The annular support 11 is divided into upper and lower layers. The measuring cylinder 12 is located on the upper layer of the annular support 11. The lower liquid pipe 20 is fixedly connected to the lower layer of the annular support 11. A sealing assembly is provided between the lower liquid pipe 20 and the measuring cylinder 12. The top of the cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the liquid storage ring 21. The end of the lower liquid pipe 20 away from the annular support 11 is connected to the liquid storage ring 21. The bottom of the liquid storage ring 21 is rotatably connected to a sealing ring 22. A set of inlet pipes 23 is fixedly connected to the sealing ring 22. The stirring rod 9 has an inlet chamber 1 24. The end of the inlet pipe 23 away from the sealing ring 22 is connected to the inlet chamber 1 24. The stirring plate 10 has an inlet chamber 25. The bottom of the inlet chamber 25 is evenly provided with through holes 26. The bottom end of the inlet chamber 1 24 is connected to the inlet chamber 25. During operation, after the motor 6 is started, the adjusting assembly rotates for a period of time. First, the oil passes through the first measuring cylinder 12 and opens the sealing component above the lower liquid pipe 20, allowing the oil in the measuring cylinder 12 to enter the lower liquid pipe 20. Then, it enters the liquid inlet pipe 23 through the liquid storage ring 21 from the lower liquid pipe 20. After that, it enters the first liquid inlet chamber 24 of the stirring rod 9 through the liquid inlet pipe 23. Finally, it flows out through the through hole 26 at the bottom of the second liquid inlet chamber 25. After that, every once in a while, the adjusting component will pass through a measuring cylinder 12 and open the sealing component below it, allowing the oil and acidulant to enter the cylinder 2 alternately to mix with the material. By setting the second liquid inlet chamber 25 and the through hole 26 in the stirring plate 10, the oil and acidulant can be more quickly and evenly mixed with the material in the cylinder 2. At the same time, it avoids the problem that the oil and acidulant will collide with the rotating stirring plate 10 after being directly added from the top of the cylinder 2, causing splashing and difficulty in quick mixing.
[0027] The sealing assembly includes a sealing ring 18 and a plug 19. The sealing ring 18 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the measuring cylinder 12 and the top of the lower liquid pipe 20. The sealing ring 18 has a fan-shaped opening. The plug 19 is fixed to the inner wall of the bottom end of the measuring cylinder 12. The plug 19 is fan-shaped and the top of the plug 19 is inclined. During operation, initially, the fan-shaped opening on the sealing ring 18 is blocked by the plug 19, and the measuring cylinder 12 and the lower liquid pipe 20 are in a blocked state. After the adjustment assembly passes, the sealing ring 18 rotates half a turn, and the plug 19 no longer blocks the fan-shaped opening, which facilitates the rapid flow of oil or acid flavoring agent in the measuring cylinder 12.
[0028] The adjusting mechanism includes a spur gear 13, a gear ring 14, and an arc-shaped rack 16. The top of the rotating shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the spur gear 13. The gear ring 14 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the annular bracket 11. The spur gear 13 meshes with the gear ring 14. A connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the gear ring 14. An arc-shaped rack 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting rod 15 away from the gear ring 14. A second spur gear 17 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sealing ring 18, meshing with the arc-shaped rack 16. During operation, the motor 6... After startup, the spur gear 13 drives the gear ring 14 to rotate under the drive of the rotating shaft 7, which in turn drives the connecting rod 15 to rotate the arc rack 16. After a period of time, the arc rack 16 meshes with the spur gear 17 on the sealing ring 18 below the first measuring cylinder 12 until the two are completely disengaged. During this process, the spur gear 17 drives the sealing ring 18 to rotate half a turn. This process is repeated to open the sealing ring 18 below the measuring cylinder 12 in sequence, allowing oil and acid flavoring agent to alternately enter the cylinder 2.
[0029] The bottom of the inner cavity of the measuring cylinder 12 and the top of the liquid inlet pipe 20 are both funnel-shaped, and the liquid inlet pipe 20 and the liquid inlet pipe 23 are inclined. During operation, the shape design of the measuring cylinder 12 and the liquid inlet pipe 20 allows the oil and acid flavoring agent to enter the cylinder 2 more quickly.
[0030] The second liquid inlet chamber 25 is inclined; during operation, by setting the second liquid inlet chamber 25 to an inclined shape, the oil and acid flavoring agent can flow out of the through hole 26 more quickly after entering.
[0031] The working principle is as follows: First, the staff places the required oil and acidulant into multiple measuring cylinders 12 at the desired intervals. Then, the ingredients needed to prepare the salad dressing are sequentially added to the cylinder 2 through the feed pipe 3. Next, the motor 6 is started, driving the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. This causes the stirring rod 9 to rotate under the transmission of the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt 8, thus mixing the various ingredients in the cylinder 2 with the stirring plate 10. Initially, during mixing, the fan-shaped opening on the sealing ring 18 is blocked by the blocking block 19, and the measuring cylinders 12 and the lower liquid pipe 20 are sealed. After the motor 6 starts, the spur gear 13, driven by the rotating shaft 7, drives the gear ring 14 to rotate, causing the connecting rod 15 to drive the arc-shaped rack 16 to rotate. After a period of time, the arc-shaped rack 16 meshes with the spur gear 17 on the sealing ring 18 below the first measuring cylinder 12 until the two completely disengage. During this process, the spur gear 17 drives the sealing ring 18 to rotate half a turn, and the block 19 no longer blocks the fan-shaped opening, allowing the oil in the measuring cylinder 12 to begin entering the lower liquid pipe 20, and then from the lower liquid pipe 20 through the liquid storage ring 21 into the liquid inlet pipe 23. After that, it enters the liquid inlet chamber 24 of the stirring rod 9 through the liquid inlet pipe 23, and finally flows out through the through hole 26 at the bottom of the liquid inlet chamber 25. After that, every time a period of time, the arc-shaped rack 16 will pass through a measuring cylinder 12 and open the sealing ring 18 located below it, so that the oil and acidulant can alternately enter the cylinder 2 to achieve mixing with the material.
