Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of fish oil production equipment, and more specifically, to a mixing device for producing astaxanthin fish oil. Background Technology

[0002] Astaxanthin, also known as lobster shell pigment, is a carotenoid and the highest-level product of carotenoid synthesis. It is deep pink in color and has the strongest antioxidant properties in nature. It is widely found in the biological world. Currently, in health products, it is mainly mixed with fish oil to make capsules and other products. However, existing mixing devices usually mix and stir the fish oil and astaxanthin in a tank. Since the raw material of astaxanthin is usually a concentrated crystalline powder, when mixing with fish oil, the astaxanthin powder is usually poured directly into the fish oil. Astaxanthin powder may clump during storage, so most people will crush the clumps of astaxanthin powder in advance. However, small clumps are inevitably not crushed properly. At the same time, when pouring the astaxanthin powder, it is usually poured in one place, which causes the astaxanthin powder to concentrate in one area, resulting in uneven mixing, easy clumping, and affecting the mixing effect.

[0003] Therefore, a mixing device for astaxanthin fish oil production is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The summary section of this application is intended to provide a brief overview of the concepts, which will be described in detail in the detailed description section below. This summary section is not intended to identify key or essential features of the claimed technical solutions, nor is it intended to limit the scope of the claimed technical solutions.

[0005] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section, some embodiments of this application provide a mixing device for astaxanthin fish oil production, comprising: a mixing tank with supporting legs fixedly disposed on the lower side of the mixing tank; a top cover on the mixing tank with a feeding port for adding astaxanthin powder into the mixing tank, a feeding port for adding fish oil on the mixing tank, and a discharge pipe at the lower end of the mixing tank for discharging material; further comprising: a stirring motor fixedly disposed on the top cover; a rotating sleeve rotating within the mixing tank, the power output end of the stirring motor being fixedly connected to a stirring shaft, the rotating sleeve being sleeved on the stirring shaft and rotating synchronously with the stirring shaft, and multiple sets of stirring rods fixedly disposed on the rotating sleeve; a fixed ring fixedly disposed within the mixing tank and located above the feeding port; a rotating ring coaxially disposed with the fixed ring and rotatably disposed on the fixed ring; multiple fixed frames circumferentially fixed to the rotating ring and located below the feeding port; and a sieving frame slidably disposed on the fixed frame.

[0006] The rotating ring and fixed frame work together to drive the fixed frame to move during the rotation of the rotating ring. At the same time, the sieving frame moves, and the astaxanthin powder is evenly sieved through the holes on the sieving frame into the mixing tank. Then, the mixing is carried out by the stirring rod, which avoids the clumping caused by the concentrated pouring of astaxanthin powder. At the same time, the sieving frame prevents clumped astaxanthin powder from being directly added to the fish oil, which would make it difficult to mix thoroughly.

[0007] Furthermore, a drive motor is fixedly connected to the mixing tank, and a crushing frame connected to the lower end of the feeding port is fixedly installed inside the mixing tank. Two crushing rollers are rotatably connected inside the crushing frame. The two crushing rollers cooperate to crush the clumps of astaxanthin powder that enter the crushing frame. The crushing rollers have rotating heads that extend out of the crushing frame. A meshing wheel is fixedly connected to the rotating head. The two meshing wheels mesh with each other. The power output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the rotating head of one of the crushing rollers.

[0008] The astaxanthin powder fed into the inlet is first crushed by two crushing rollers and then falls into the fixed frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the power output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to a drive wheel, and a first ring rack is fixedly connected to the rotating ring, the first ring rack meshing with the drive wheel.

[0010] With the drive wheel and the first ring rack in place, when the crushing roller crushes the astaxanthin powder, the drive wheel can drive the rotating ring to rotate on the fixed ring.

[0011] Furthermore, a connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the fixed frame, a connecting wheel is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft, and a second ring rack is fixedly connected to the fixed ring. The connecting wheel meshes with the second ring rack. When the drive wheel rotates relative to the fixed ring, the second ring rack drives the connecting wheel to rotate.

[0012] With the connecting wheel and the second ring rack in place, when the rotating ring and the fixed ring rotate relative to each other, the second ring rack drives the connecting wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the sieving frame to move, so as to evenly sieve out the astaxanthin powder in the sieving frame.

[0013] Furthermore, a connecting sleeve is fixedly connected to the screen frame, the connecting sleeve is fitted onto one end of the connecting shaft, a pushing protrusion is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting shaft, a guide rail is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve, the guide rail extends spirally around the axis of the connecting sleeve, and the pushing protrusion abuts against the guide rail.

[0014] By using a connecting sleeve and guide rail, and pushing protrusions, when the connecting shaft rotates, the pushing protrusions push the guide rails, thereby driving the connecting sleeve and the sieving frame to move, so that the astaxanthin powder in the sieving frame is sieved out.

[0015] Furthermore, a connecting spring is connected between the moving screen frame and the fixed frame, with both ends of the connecting spring fixed to the fixed frame and the moving screen frame, respectively.

[0016] With the help of the connecting spring, when the push protrusion pushes the screen frame to its limit position, the push protrusion no longer abuts against the guide rail. At this time, the connecting spring drives the screen frame to move, so that the screen frame achieves the screening effect by repeatedly moving.

[0017] Furthermore, the sieving frame has evenly distributed through holes, through which astaxanthin powder is sieved out, and one of the sieving frames is located below the crushing frame.

[0018] The through-holes allow the dispersed astaxanthin powder to be sieved out, ensuring a good mixing effect.

[0019] Furthermore, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the mixing tank, and a fixing protrusion fixedly connected to the piston end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the top cover.

[0020] With the help of a cylinder and a fixed protrusion, when it is necessary to clean the clumps of astaxanthin powder in the sieving frame, the cylinder extends to open the top cover for easy cleaning.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0022] 1. Through the rotating ring and fixed frame, the rotating ring drives the fixed frame to move during rotation, and at the same time, the sieving frame moves to evenly sieve the astaxanthin powder through the through holes on the sieving frame into the mixing tank. Then, the mixing is carried out by the stirring rod to avoid clumping caused by the concentrated pouring of astaxanthin powder. At the same time, due to the setting of the sieving frame, it is also to prevent clumped astaxanthin powder from being directly added to the fish oil, which would make it difficult to mix thoroughly.

[0023] 2. Through the set drive motor and crushing roller, the astaxanthin powder put into the feeding port will be pre-crushed by two crushing rollers before falling into the fixed frame, so as to avoid large lumps.

[0024] 3. Through the connecting wheel and the second ring rack, when the rotating ring and the fixed ring rotate relative to each other, the second ring rack drives the connecting wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the sieving frame to move, so astaxanthin powder in the sieving frame is evenly sieved out, ensuring thorough mixing.

[0040] This disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0041] Reference Figure 1-6 A mixing device for producing astaxanthin fish oil includes: a mixing tank 10, support legs 38, a top cover 14, a feeding port 12, a feed inlet 13, a discharge pipe 37, a rotating sleeve 17, a stirring shaft 19, a stirring rod 18, a fixing ring 20, a rotating ring 26, a fixing frame 27, and a sieving frame 29. Three sets of support legs 38 are provided at the lower end of the mixing tank 10. The top cover 14 is provided on the mixing tank 10, covering the upper opening of the mixing tank 10. Two cylinders 15 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the mixing tank 10, and a fixing protrusion 16 is fixedly connected to the top cover 14. The piston rod end of the cylinder 15 is fixedly engaged with the fixing protrusion 16. When it is necessary to open the top cover 14, the piston rod end of the cylinder 15 extends, pushing the top cover 14 open. A rotating sleeve 17 is rotatably connected inside the mixing tank 10. Stirring rods 18 are circumferentially distributed on the rotating sleeve 17. When the rotating sleeve 17 rotates, it drives the stirring rods 18 to rotate and stir. Simultaneously, a stirring shaft 19, which slides with the rotating sleeve 17, is fixedly connected to the power output end of the stirring motor 11. The stirring shaft 19 rotates synchronously with the rotating sleeve 17. The stirring motor 11 is fixed to the upper cover 14. When the upper cover 14 is opened, the stirring shaft 19 slides relative to the rotating sleeve 17 and will not disengage from the rotating sleeve 17. A feeding port 12 is provided on the upper cover 14. Astaxanthin powder is fed into the mixing tank 10 through the feeding port 12 to mix with fish oil. An inlet 13 is provided on the side wall of the mixing tank 10. Fish oil is fed into the mixing tank 10 through the inlet 13. During mixing, fish oil is first added to the mixing tank 10, and then astaxanthin powder is added. A discharge pipe 37 is provided at the lower end of the mixing tank 10. The mixed raw materials are discharged through the discharge pipe 37. A valve can be installed on the discharge pipe 37, and the valve is opened after mixing is completed.

[0042] To prevent astaxanthin powder from clumping and affecting mixing, a crushing frame 22 is fixed inside the mixing tank 10, located below the feeding port 12. Astaxanthin powder fed into the feeding port 12 passes through the crushing frame 22. Two crushing rollers 23 are rotatably connected inside the crushing frame 22. These rollers work together to crush the clumped astaxanthin powder. Each crushing roller 23 has a rotating head extending out of the crushing frame 22, with meshing wheels 24 fixedly connected to the rotating head. The two meshing wheels 24 mesh with each other. A drive motor 21 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mixing tank 10, and the power output shaft of the drive motor 21 is fixedly connected to the rotating head of one of the crushing rollers 23. When the astaxanthin powder passes through the crushing frame 22, the drive motor 21 is activated, outputting power to rotate the meshing wheels 24, causing the two crushing rollers 23 to work together to crush the clumped astaxanthin powder.

[0043] To prevent small clumps of astaxanthin powder from being incompletely pulverized, a fixed ring 20 is fixedly connected inside the mixing tank 10. A rotating ring 26 is rotatably connected to the fixed ring 20, and multiple circumferentially distributed fixed frames 27 are fixedly connected to the rotating ring 26. These fixed frames 27 are combined with each other, with one fixed frame 27 located below the pulverizing frame 22. A sieving frame 29 is slidably disposed within the fixed frame 27. Astaxanthin powder passing through the pulverizing frame 22 falls into the sieving frame 29, which has evenly distributed through holes. The astaxanthin powder is sieved out through these through holes.

[0044] To prevent clumping caused by concentrated addition of astaxanthin powder, a drive wheel 25 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the drive motor 21. A first ring rack 28, meshing with the drive wheel 25, is fixedly connected to the rotating ring 26. When the drive motor 21 outputs power, the drive wheel 25 and the first ring rack 28 drive the rotating ring 26 to rotate, which in turn drives the sieving frame 29 to move, ensuring the astaxanthin powder is evenly added. A second ring rack 36 is fixedly connected to the fixed ring 20, and a connecting shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 27. A connecting wheel 30 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 31, and the connecting wheel 30 meshes with the second ring rack 36. When the drive wheel 25 rotates relative to the fixed ring 20, the second ring rack 36 drives the connecting wheel 30 to rotate. A connecting sleeve 32 is fixedly connected to the screening frame 29. The connecting sleeve 32 is fitted onto one end of the connecting shaft 31. A pushing protrusion 34 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting shaft 31. A guide rail 35 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting sleeve 32. The guide rail 35 extends spirally around the axis of the connecting sleeve 32. The pushing protrusion 34 abuts against the guide rail 35. When the connecting shaft 31 rotates, causing the pushing protrusion 34 to abut against the guide rail 35 and push the connecting sleeve 32, it will drive the screening frame 29 to move away from the connecting shaft 31. When the pushing protrusion 34 moves to the end of the guide rail 35, it no longer abuts against the guide rail 35. A connecting spring 33 is connected between the connecting shaft 31 and the connecting sleeve 32. A connecting spring 33 is connected between the screening frame 29 and the fixed frame 27. The two ends of the connecting spring 33 are fixed to the fixed frame 27 and the screening frame 29, respectively. The connecting spring 33 and the connecting sleeve 32 are located on both sides of the screening frame 29. An outer edge 39, which fits against the inner bottom wall of the fixed frame 27, is provided at the edge of the sieving frame 29 to prevent the sieving frame 29 from falling off and to prevent astaxanthin powder from falling out of the gap between the fixed frame 27 and the sieving frame 29. When the pushing protrusion 34 no longer abuts against the guide rail 35, the fixed frame 27 is reset by the action of the connecting spring 33. The continued rotation of the connecting shaft 31 causes the sieving frame 29 to reciprocate and perform sieving. At this time, the clumps of astaxanthin powder will remain inside the sieving frame 29. When it is necessary to clean the sieving frame 29, the upper cover 14 is opened by starting the cylinder 15.

[0045] Working process or usage method:

[0046] 1. When mixing, first put the fish oil into the mixing tank 10, then put the astaxanthin powder into the mixing tank 10 through the feeding port 12. At this time, start the stirring motor 11 to rotate, drive the rotating sleeve 17 to rotate and stir with the stirring rod 18, and start the drive motor 21 to drive the two crushing rollers 23 to rotate, crushing the clumps of astaxanthin powder that have passed through the crushing frame 22. Then it will fall into the sieve frame 29. While the drive motor 21 outputs power, it will drive the drive wheel 25 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating ring 26 to rotate, so that the sieve frame 29 moves and evenly sprinkles the astaxanthin powder.

[0047] 2. As the rotating ring 26 rotates, it drives the connecting wheel 30 to rotate under the action of the second ring rack 36, which in turn drives the connecting shaft 31 to rotate. Under the action of the pushing protrusion 34, the connecting sleeve 32 and the sieving frame 29 move. Through the connecting spring 33, the sieving frame 29 can be driven to reciprocate, thereby sieving out the astaxanthin powder in the sieving frame 29 and preventing clumped astaxanthin powder from being directly added to the fish oil. After mixing, the material is discharged through the discharge pipe 37.

[0048] 3. When it is necessary to clean the screen frame 29, the upper cover 14 can be opened by starting the cylinder 15 to facilitate cleaning.
