In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0024] Furthermore, terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," and "sag" do not imply that components must be absolutely horizontal or suspended, but rather that they can be slightly tilted.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances. Specific implementation examples:
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a syrup concentration mixing device, including a base 1, a stirring tank 2 and a support 3 fixed on the base 1, a first stirring component 4 and a second stirring component 5 for stirring the solution in the stirring tank 2 on the support 3, a first drive motor 6 for driving the first stirring component 4 to rotate and a drive component 7 for driving the second stirring component 5 to rotate on the support 3, and the rotation direction of the first stirring component 4 is opposite to the rotation direction of the second stirring component 5. By designing two stirring components with opposite rotation directions, the stirring force on the solution in the stirring tank 2 is more complex and comprehensive. Compared with the single-direction stirring method in the prior art, this device can disperse the sugar solution more quickly into the entire solution system through stirring in different directions, making the mixing more thorough, ensuring uniform concentration distribution, and improving the syrup mixing quality.
[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, the first drive motor 6 is fixed on the bracket 3, and the bracket 3 is provided with a receiving cavity 31. The first stirring assembly 4 includes a rotating shaft 41 and a plurality of first stirring rods 42. The upper end of the rotating shaft 41 movably passes through the receiving cavity 31 and is connected to the output shaft of the first drive motor 6. The plurality of first stirring rods 42 are fixed on the rotating shaft 41 and located in the stirring tank 2. The first drive motor 6 drives the rotating shaft 41 to drive the first stirring rods 42 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, thereby realizing the stirring of the solution in the stirring tank 2 in the first direction.
[0029] like Figure 2As shown, the second stirring assembly 5 includes a driven gear 51, a movable sleeve 52, a transmission rod 53, and multiple second stirring rods 54. The driven gear 51 is disposed within the receiving cavity 31. The movable sleeve 52 is disposed in the middle of the driven gear 51 and movably sleeved on the rotating shaft 41. The lower end of the movable sleeve 52 extends outside the receiving cavity 31 and is rotatably connected to the bracket 3. One end of the transmission rod 53 is fixed to the lower end of the movable sleeve 52, and the other end of the transmission rod 53 is vertically bent downward and extends into the stirring tank 2. Multiple second stirring rods 54 are evenly fixed in the vertical section of the transmission rod 53 and located within the stirring tank 2. Specifically, the driven gear 51... When the first stirring component 4 rotates, it drives the movable sleeve 52 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission rod 53 to rotate. The second stirring rod 54 rotates along with the transmission rod 53. The movable sleeve 52 allows the second stirring component 5 to operate independently relative to the first stirring component 4, ensuring that the second stirring component 5 can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. When the first stirring component 4 rotates clockwise, the second stirring component 5 rotates counterclockwise. Different stirring methods and motion trajectories allow the syrup solution in the stirring tank 2 to be subjected to more complex and comprehensive stirring forces, breaking the stirring dead zones that may be formed by a single stirring method and greatly improving the uniformity of syrup mixing.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 7 includes a second drive motor 71 and a drive gear 72. The second drive motor 71 is fixed on the bracket 3. The drive gear 72 is disposed in the receiving cavity 31 and meshes with the driven gear 51. The output shaft of the first drive motor 6 extends into the receiving cavity 31 and connects to the drive gear 72. The second drive motor 71 drives the drive gear 72 to rotate. Since the drive gear 72 meshes with the driven gear 51, the rotation of the drive gear 72 will drive the rotation of the driven gear 51. Since the driven gear 51 is connected to the movable sleeve 52, the rotation of the driven gear 51 will in turn drive the movable sleeve 52 to rotate around the rotating shaft 41. The movable sleeve 52 is also connected to the transmission rod 53. The multiple second stirring rods 54 fixed on the transmission rod 53 move in a circular motion within the stirring tank 2, thereby stirring the syrup solution within the stirring tank 2. The stirring directions of the first stirring component 4 and the second stirring component 5 are opposite. This reverse stirring method allows the syrup solution within the stirring tank 2 to form convection, resulting in more thorough mixing of the syrup. The rotational speeds of the first stirring component 4 and the second stirring component 5 can be flexibly adjusted via the first drive motor 6 and the second drive motor 71, allowing for the selection of a suitable stirring speed according to actual needs. Both the master and slave gears 51 are housed within the receiving cavity 31 on the bracket 3, preventing personnel from accidentally touching the moving gears and causing injury.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, there are two transmission rods 53, which are symmetrically arranged. When the transmission rods 53 rotate, they generate a certain centrifugal force and torque. The two symmetrically arranged transmission rods 53 can balance these forces and avoid the device from shaking or shifting due to uneven force, which helps to improve the stability of the entire second stirring assembly 5.
[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, the first stirring rod 42 and the second stirring rod 54 are staggered vertically. When the first stirring rod 42 and the second stirring rod 54 rotate, due to their different heights, they will form liquid flows of different directions and speeds in the syrup layers at different heights. This will cause the syrups of different concentrations to exchange positions more quickly, accelerate the mixing speed, improve the mixing efficiency, reduce the stirring blind zone, and improve the mixing effect.
[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a drain pipe 8 is connected to one side of the stirring tank 2, and a drain valve 9 is provided on the drain pipe 8. A scale is provided inside the stirring tank 2. The prepared syrup solution can be discharged from the stirring tank 2 by opening the drain valve 9.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, a first bearing 10 is provided at the connection between the rotating shaft 41 and the bracket 3. The first bearing 10 is located in the upper part of the receiving cavity 31. A second bearing 11 is provided at the connection between the movable sleeve 52 and the bracket 3. The second bearing 11 is located in the lower part of the receiving cavity 31. A third bearing 13 is provided at the connection between the output shaft of the second drive motor 71 and the bracket 3. The arrangement of the first bearing 10, the second bearing 11 and the third bearing 13 makes the rotating shaft 41, the movable sleeve 52 and the output shaft of the second drive motor 71 easier to rotate, reduces friction, reduces energy consumption and extends service life.
[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
