Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of liquor brewing equipment, and in particular to a mixing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of brewing baijiu, the mixing stage is to mix the raw materials evenly, laying a good foundation for subsequent processes. Existing mixing mechanisms generally use a hopper and a top cover to dock and then rotate to achieve mixing. As shown in the stirring mechanism disclosed in the patent with patent number CN119506032A, the top cover and the hopper need to move to avoid each other and cooperate. The docking process takes a long time and is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem of low efficiency in existing mixing devices, this invention provides a high-efficiency mixing mechanism.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A mixing mechanism, comprising:

[0006] The column assembly is fixedly installed;

[0007] The main rotary support rotates on the column assembly.

[0008] The mixing chamber body rotates horizontally on the main rotary support, and a first opening is provided at the bottom of the mixing chamber body;

[0009] The hopper is provided with a second opening that connects with the first opening of the mixing chamber body; the hopper forms a sealed container after connecting with the mixing chamber body.

[0010] A hopper support frame is used to support a hopper, which can rotate horizontally relative to the hopper support frame.

[0011] A locking mechanism is used to lock the hopper bracket and the main rotary support.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a hopper lift, which is used to lift the hopper support and the hopper.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a conveying mechanism for transporting the hopper to the bottom of the mixing chamber. The hopper can be fed in or discharged, facilitating the connection between the mixing mechanism and other processes.

[0014] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes several chain conveyors with intervals between them to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the hopper support.

[0015] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a first cylinder mounted on the main rotary support. The cylinder body of the first cylinder is hinged to the main rotary support. The first piston rod of the first cylinder is located at the upper end of the first cylinder. A connecting rod is hinged to the main rotary support. The end of the first piston rod is hinged to the connecting rod. The first piston rod is provided with a first mating surface. The hopper bracket is provided with a second mating surface. After the hopper bracket is raised, the first piston rod extends obliquely upward, and the first mating surface abuts against the second mating surface.

[0016] Furthermore, the locking mechanism also includes a second cylinder mounted on the main rotary support. The extension and retraction direction of the second piston rod of the second cylinder is perpendicular to the lifting and lowering direction of the hopper bracket. The end of the second piston rod is provided with a limiting pin, and the hopper bracket is provided with a limiting hole for the limiting pin to be inserted.

[0017] Furthermore, the locking mechanism is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main rotary support.

[0018] Furthermore, the hopper support is rotatably equipped with a rotating platform, and the rotating platform is provided with at least two positioning pins. The lower end of the hopper is provided with positioning holes that match the positioning pins one by one. For convenient self-positioning, the positioning pins can be conical in shape.

[0019] Furthermore, an installation platform is fixed on the hopper bracket, and a rotary shaft is rotatably connected to the installation platform. The rotary platform is fixedly connected to the rotary shaft, and an electromagnetic clutch is connected to the lower end of the rotary shaft.

[0020] Furthermore, the main body of the mixing silo is equipped with a top cover for internal cleaning. Opening the top cover allows for cleaning of the interior of the mixing silo, facilitating its versatility and enabling connection with hoppers that hold different raw materials.

[0021] Beneficial effects:

[0022] (1) The mixing bin of the mixing mechanism of this utility model is horizontally mounted on the main rotating support, and the main rotating support is flipped and mounted on the column assembly. The mixing process can begin as long as the hopper is connected to the main body of the mixing bin and the hopper bracket is locked to the main rotating support. The connection process is quick and efficient.

[0023] (2) The main rotating support, the main body of the mixing chamber, the hopper and the hopper bracket rotate together. At the same time, the main body of the mixing chamber and the hopper can rotate horizontally. Therefore, the mixing process is a combination of rotating and horizontal rotation, and the mixing effect is good.

[0024] (3) The locking of the main rotating support and the hopper bracket adopts two locking structures. The first cylinder realizes the surface-to-surface locking, and the second cylinder realizes the pin-to-hole locking. The locking effect is good, preventing the main rotating support from separating from the hopper during the flipping process, and ensuring good safety.

[0025] (4) There is a rotating platform under the hopper. The rotating platform is fixed with a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to an electromagnetic clutch. In this way, after the mixing is completed, the electromagnetic clutch can cooperate with the deceleration process of the mixing chamber body to realize the synchronous deceleration of the hopper, prevent the speed difference between the hopper and the mixing chamber body from being too large and disengaging, and at the same time speed up the deceleration process and improve efficiency.

[0026] (5) The chain conveyor transports the hopper to the bottom of the mixing bin body, and then the hopper elevator drives the hopper support to rise and lift the hopper. Therefore, the mixing mechanism of this utility model can realize the input and output of the hopper, which is convenient for docking with other processes. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the present utility model or its application or use. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0041] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0042] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of this invention. It should also be understood that, for ease of description, the dimensions of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn to actual scale. Techniques, methods, and devices known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and devices should be considered part of the specification. In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following drawings denote similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, it need not be further discussed in subsequent drawings.

[0043] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional terms such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise stated, these directional terms do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself.

[0044] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features.

[0046] like Figures 1-11 This utility model discloses a mixing mechanism, including a column assembly 1, a main rotary support 2, a mixing chamber body 3, a hopper 4, a hopper bracket 5, and a locking mechanism. The column assembly 1 is fixedly installed. The main rotary support 2 and the components fixed thereon rotate on the column assembly 1. A first motor for driving the main rotary support 2 is installed on the column assembly 1. In one embodiment, the column assembly 1 includes a left column and a right column respectively arranged on both sides of the main rotary support 2. In this embodiment, the drive motor is installed on the left side and the bearing is installed on the right side. The mixing silo body 3 rotates horizontally on the main rotary support 2. A first opening is located below the mixing silo body 3. A second motor for driving the horizontal rotation of the mixing silo body 3 is mounted on the main rotary support 2, and transmission is achieved through a gear rack and rotary bearing. The hopper 4 has a second opening that connects with the first opening of the mixing silo body 3. After the hopper 4 connects with the mixing silo body 3, a sealed container is formed. The shape of the first opening of the hopper 4 matches the shape of the second opening of the mixing silo body 3. In this embodiment, the opening of the hopper 4 is square, and the shape of the mixing silo body 3 is round at the top and square at the bottom. To achieve better mixing effect, irregularly shaped baffles or rake mechanisms can also be installed inside the mixing silo body 3. To achieve a better connection effect, the connection can be selected by, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​or pin-hole fitting. The hopper bracket 5 supports the hopper 4, and the hopper 4 can rotate horizontally relative to the hopper bracket 5. A locking mechanism is used to lock the hopper bracket 5 and the main rotary support 2.

[0047] The mixing mechanism also includes a hopper elevator 6, which is used to lift the hopper support 5 and the hopper 4. Figures 1-7 The diagram shows the hopper support 5 in the middle of its upward stroke, meaning it has not yet reached its highest point. Figure 1 The intermediate hopper 4 and the main body of the mixing chamber 3 have not yet been connected.

[0048] The mixing mechanism also includes a conveying mechanism for transporting the hopper 4 to the bottom of the mixing bin body 3. The conveying mechanism includes several chain conveyors 7, with a spacing 7-1 between the chain conveyors 7 to facilitate the lifting and lowering of the hopper support 5 and prevent interference between them.

[0049] The locking mechanism can adopt a mechanical structure. For ease of automation and improved efficiency, such as... Figures 3-7 The locking mechanism includes a first cylinder 8 mounted on the main rotary support 2. The cylinder body of the first cylinder 8 is hinged to the main rotary support 2. The first piston rod 8-1 of the first cylinder 8 is located at the upper end of the first cylinder 8. A connecting rod 9 is hinged on the main rotary support 2. The end of the first piston rod 8-1 is hinged to the connecting rod 9. A first mating surface 8-2 is provided on the first piston rod 8-1. A second mating surface 5-1 is provided on the hopper bracket 5. After the hopper bracket 5 is raised, the first piston rod 8-1 extends obliquely upward, and the first mating surface 8-2 abuts against the second mating surface 5-1.

[0050] The locking mechanism also includes a second cylinder 10 mounted on the main rotary support 2. The extension and retraction direction of the second piston rod 10-1 of the second cylinder 10 is perpendicular to the lifting and lowering direction of the hopper bracket 5. The end of the second piston rod 10-1 is provided with a limiting pin 10-2, and the hopper bracket 5 is provided with a limiting hole 5-2 for the limiting pin 10-2 to be inserted.

[0051] To ensure effective locking and force balance, the locking mechanism is symmetrically positioned on both sides of the main rotary support 2. Two first cylinders 8 are installed on the left and two first cylinders 8 are installed on the right, forming a four-point support to ensure that all four cylinders are tightly sealed during operation. One second cylinder 10 is installed on both the left and right sides to form lateral limiters, preventing the hopper from falling during movement and ensuring safety.

[0052] A rotating platform 11 is mounted on the hopper bracket 5, which mainly supports the hopper 4 and moves together with it. The rotating platform 11 is provided with at least two positioning pins 11-1, and the lower end of the hopper 4 is provided with positioning holes 4-1 that match the positioning pins 11-1 one by one.

[0053] A mounting platform 12 is fixed on the hopper bracket 5. A rotary shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the mounting platform 12. The rotary platform 11 is fixedly connected to the rotary shaft 13. An electromagnetic clutch 14 is connected to the lower end of the rotary shaft 13. The electromagnetic clutch 14 mainly ensures that the hopper 4 can rotate with the equipment and stop rotating synchronously.

[0054] The mixing chamber body 3 is equipped with a top cover 3-1 for internal cleaning.

[0055] Working principle: In the initial state, the rotary platform 11 of the hopper support 5 descends below the chain conveyor 7, and the hopper 4 containing material is conveyed to the bottom of the mixing bin body 3 via the chain conveyor 7. A blocking device, such as a blocking rod, can be set at the front end of the chain conveyor 7 to realize the conveying positioning and limiting of the hopper 4. Then, the hopper elevator 6 drives the hopper support 5 to rise, and the positioning pin of the rotary platform 11 engages with the positioning hole 4-1 at the lower end of the hopper 4. At the same time, the rotary platform 11 supports the hopper 4, and the hopper support 5 and the hopper 4 continue to rise until the hopper 4 docks with the mixing bin body 3. The first piston rod 8-1 of the first cylinder 8 extends, and the first mating surface 8-2 and the second mating surface 5-1 abut. The second piston rod 10-1 of the second cylinder 10 extends, and the limiting pin 10-2 is inserted into the limiting hole 5-2. The first motor on the column assembly 1 drives the main rotary support 2 to rotate. At this time, the mixing bin body 3, hopper 4, and hopper bracket 5 rotate together. Simultaneously, the second motor drives the mixing bin body 3 to rotate horizontally. Since the hopper 4 is rotatably connected to the hopper bracket 4, the hopper 4 docked with the mixing bin 3 rotates horizontally along with the mixing bin body 3. The rotation center of the rotational motion is horizontal, and the rotation centers of horizontal rotation and rotational motion are perpendicular to each other. When it is necessary to end the horizontal rotation, the second motor connected to the mixing bin body 3 decelerates until it comes to a stop. After the mixing is completed, the hopper 4 returns to the vertical position, and the mixed material is located in the hopper 4. The hopper elevator 6 rises and supports the hopper 4. The locking mechanism unlocks, or the first cylinder 8 and the second cylinder 10 reset. The hopper elevator 6, together with the hopper bracket 5 and the hopper 4, descends until the hopper 4 is lowered onto the chain conveyor 7. Then, the chain conveyor 7 outputs the hopper 4.

[0056] During the above process, the electromagnetic clutch 14 is only in the disengaged state when the first motor and the second motor are working, and is in the braking state at other times to ensure that the hopper 4 does not rotate randomly during the lifting process.

[0057] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
