Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of probiotic mixing technology, and in particular to a controllable release probiotic mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Probiotics are a class of live microorganisms that are beneficial to the host. They colonize specific parts of the human body, such as the gut and reproductive system, and produce definite health benefits, thereby improving the host's microecological balance and exerting beneficial effects. The human gut contains a large number of microorganisms, including both beneficial and harmful bacteria. When the balance of the gut microbiota is disrupted, such as due to the use of large amounts of antibiotics during illness or an unbalanced diet, various health problems may arise. Probiotics can maintain normal gut function and health by inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and regulating the intestinal immune system. Common probiotics include Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus acidophilus, which are widely found in fermented foods such as yogurt. Supplementing with probiotic preparations can also increase the number of beneficial bacteria in the body, thereby promoting health.

[0003] Probiotic blends are products that combine multiple different types of probiotics. Because different probiotic strains have their own unique functions and advantages, mixing multiple probiotics can more comprehensively exert their beneficial effects on the human body. For example, Bifidobacteria can help regulate the balance of intestinal flora, improve the intestinal microecological environment, promote intestinal peristalsis, and relieve constipation and other problems; Lactobacillus acidophilus performs well in inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria, enhancing the intestinal barrier function, and can also help with the digestion and absorption of lactose.

[0004] However, some existing probiotic mixing devices cannot control the feeding rate, and cannot accurately control the feeding rate of different probiotic raw materials according to the production process requirements. This not only makes it difficult to maintain a stable proportion of each probiotic in the mixture, resulting in inconsistent product quality, but also causes material waste and low efficiency in the production process due to the uncontrollable feeding rate, which seriously affects the quality of related products and production efficiency. Therefore, in order to address the above shortcomings, a controllable release probiotic mixing device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a controllable release probiotic mixing device, which aims to improve the problem that some probiotic mixing devices in the prior art cannot control the feeding rate.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A controlled-release probiotic mixing device includes a tank. A protective component is provided on the top left side of the tank. A fixed ring is fixedly connected inside the protective component. Multiple rotating blades are rotatably connected to the top of the fixed ring.

A second protective shell is fixedly connected to the left side of the protective shell. A pressing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the slide rod.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The guide assembly includes multiple guide rods, the exterior of which are slidably connected to the interior of the connecting ring, and the interior of the connecting ring is provided with multiple guide grooves;

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A motor is installed on the top of the tank. A drive shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. Multiple stirring rods are fixedly connected to the outside of the drive shaft. A cam is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive shaft. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank. A sliding rod is slidably connected inside the fixing plate.

An arc-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the right side of the sliding rod. A discharge pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank. A liquid inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the tank.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The gear and the external gear ring are meshed, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the inside of the guide groove.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The outer side of the rotating blade is slidably connected to the bottom of the feed pipe, and the outer side of the limiting rod is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove;

[0022] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. In this utility model, when it is necessary to control the feeding rate, the operator presses down on the pressing plate, causing the sliding rod to move downwards, compressing the spring, and causing the locking pin to slide out from inside the gear, while the limiting rod slides within the limiting groove. Rotating the pressing plate causes the limiting rod to drive the gear to rotate, and through the meshing of the gear with the external gear ring, the external gear ring rotates, which in turn drives the connecting ring to rotate. The connecting ring, through the rotating rod, drives the rotating blades to change the spacing, adjusting the feeding area at the bottom of the feed pipe, thus achieving precise control of the feeding rate and meeting the feeding volume requirements of different production stages.

[0024] 2. In this utility model, after the motor is started, the drive shaft rotates, which drives the stirring rod to mix the probiotics. At the same time, it drives the cam to rotate. The cam intermittently squeezes the arc plate, causing the sliding rod to slide inside the fixed plate and compress the second spring. When the cam leaves the arc plate, the second spring releases its elastic force, pushing the sliding rod and the arc plate to reset, realizing the reciprocating motion of the arc plate, which intermittently impacts the discharge pipe, preventing the material from adhering to the inner wall of the discharge pipe and ensuring that the mixed probiotics can be discharged smoothly.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a controllable release probiotic mixing device, comprising a tank 1, which serves as the main supporting structure of the entire probiotic mixing device. A protective component is provided on the top left side of the tank 1, and a fixing ring 5 is fixedly connected inside the protective component. The protective component includes a feed pipe 2, which is externally fixedly connected to the inside left side of the tank 1. A protective shell 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the feed pipe 2, serving as both protection and support. A feed pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective shell 3. Protective shell 12 is fixedly connected to the left side of protective shell 13. Pressing plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of sliding rod 13. Multiple rotating blades 6 are rotatably connected to the top of fixing ring 5, providing rotational support for the rotating blades 6. The outside of the rotating blades 6 is slidably connected to the bottom of the feed pipe 4. Rotating rods 7 are rotatably connected to the bottom of each of the multiple rotating blades 6. When the rotating rods 7 drive the rotating blades 6 to move, the distance between each rotating blade 6 changes, thereby changing the feeding area at the bottom of the feed pipe 4, achieving precise control of the probiotic feeding rate. Connecting rings 8 are rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the multiple rotating rods 7. During the rotation of the connecting rings 8, the size of the feed inlet is adjusted by driving the rotating blades 6 through the rotating rods 7. The guide component ensures the stability and accuracy of the connecting rings 8 during the rotation process.

[0034] The connecting ring 8 is internally equipped with a guide assembly, which includes multiple guide rods 10. The guide rods 10 are externally slidably connected to the inside of the guide grooves 9. The guide rods 10 provide guidance for the rotation of the connecting ring 8, ensuring that the connecting ring 8 rotates along a predetermined circumferential trajectory. The external parts of the multiple guide rods 10 are all slidably connected to the inside of the connecting ring 8. Multiple guide grooves 9 are opened inside the connecting ring 8. When the connecting ring 8 rotates, the guide rods 10 slide in the guide grooves 9, limiting the movement trajectory of the connecting ring 8 and preventing it from deviating or shaking during rotation, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the device operation. An external toothed ring 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting ring 8. When the gear 20 rotates, it meshes with the external toothed ring 11, driving the connecting ring 8 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotating blade 6. A sliding rod 13 is slidably connected inside the protection assembly. The sliding rod 13 slides up and down in the fixed plate 16 under the drive of the pressing plate 14.

[0035] A spring 15 is fitted around the slide rod 13. When the pressing plate 14 is pressed down, the spring 15 is compressed, storing elastic potential energy. After the pressing plate 14 is released, the spring 15 releases its elastic potential energy, pushing the slide rod 13 upward to reset, thus restoring the relevant components to their initial state. A fixed plate 16 is slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod 13. The bottom of the fixed plate 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the protective shell 12. A docking plate 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide rod 13. When the slide rod 13 moves downward, the docking plate 17 descends accordingly, causing the locking pins 18 to slide out from inside the gear 20, creating conditions for the rotation of the gear 20. Multiple locking pins 18 are fixedly connected to the top of the docking plate 17. In the initial state of the device, the locking pins 18 are inserted into the gear 20, restricting the rotation of the gear 20. The slide rod 13 is externally fixedly connected to two limiting rods 19, and the slide rod 13 is externally slidably connected to a gear 20. The gear 20 is meshed with the external gear ring 11. The external slidably connected pin 18 is inside the gear 20. The gear 20 has two limiting grooves 21 on its outside. The external slidably connected limiting rods 19 are inside the limiting grooves 21. When the slide rod 13 moves downward, the limiting rods 19 move accordingly and slide in the limiting grooves 21. When the pressing plate 14 is rotated, the limiting rods 19 drive the gear 20 to rotate, thereby guiding and controlling the rotation of the gear 20.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5A motor 22 is installed on the top of the tank 1, providing power for the device's stirring and anti-clogging functions. A drive shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 22. Multiple stirring rods 24 are fixedly connected to the outside of the drive shaft 23. Driven by the motor 22, the stirring rods 24 stir and mix the probiotics in the tank 1. A cam 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive shaft 23. When the drive shaft 23 rotates, the cam 25 rotates accordingly, intermittently squeezing the arc-shaped plate 30, causing it to shift. A fixed plate 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank 1. A sliding rod 27 is slidably connected inside the fixed plate 26, providing sliding support for the sliding rod 27. A spring 28 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding rod 27. A limit plate 29 is fixedly connected to the left side of the sliding rod 27. When the spring 28 pushes the sliding rod 27 to reset to the right, the limit plate 29 engages with the fixed plate 26. The left side of the fixed plate 26 is in contact to prevent the sliding rod 27 from moving excessively to the right, ensuring the safety and stability of the device operation. The right side of the sliding rod 27 is fixedly connected to the arc plate 30. The outside of the cam 25 is in contact with the outside of the arc plate 30. When the cam 25 squeezes the arc plate 30 and the sliding rod 27 moves to the left, the spring 28 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy. When the cam 25 leaves the arc plate 30, the spring 28 releases elastic potential energy and pushes the sliding rod 27 and the arc plate 30 to reset to the right, realizing the reciprocating motion of the arc plate 30. The bottom side of the tank body 1 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 31. During the discharge process, the arc plate 30 intermittently impacts the discharge pipe 31 to prevent the material from adhering to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 31 and ensure the smoothness of the discharge. The right side of the arc plate 30 is in contact with the outside of the discharge pipe 31. The top side of the tank body 1 is fixedly connected to the liquid inlet pipe 32.

[0037] Working principle: When it is necessary to control the probiotic feeding rate, the pressing plate 14 is first pressed down to drive the slide rod 13 to move, which in turn compresses the spring 15. At this time, the locking pin 18 slides out from the inside of the gear 20, and the limiting rod 19 slides inside the limiting groove 21. Then, the pressing plate 14 can be rotated, and the gear 20 is rotated with the help of the limiting rod 19. At this time, the gear 20 is meshed with the external gear ring 11, which causes the external gear ring 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 7 to move. The rotation between the rotating rod 7 and the rotating blade 6 causes the rotating blade 6 to move. The size of the feed inlet can be adjusted by the displacement of multiple rotating blades 6, thereby realizing the control of the probiotic feeding rate.

[0038] Then, the motor 22 can be started to drive the drive shaft 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod 24 to rotate. At this time, the probiotics inside can be mixed by the stirring rod 24. As the drive shaft 23 rotates, the cam 25 can rotate, which in turn intermittently squeezes the arc plate 30 to move. At this time, the sliding rod 27 slides inside the fixed plate 26, which compresses the spring 28. At this time, the elastic force of the spring 28 realizes the reciprocating motion of the arc plate 30, which can intermittently hit the discharge pipe 31, thereby effectively preventing the probiotics from adhering to the inner wall of the discharge pipe 31 during discharge.

[0039] 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.
