Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of jacketed kettle technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional jacketed kettle for the production of food additives. Background Technology
[0002] A jacketed kettle, also known as a steam kettle, cooking kettle, or jacketed steam kettle, typically consists of a kettle body and supporting legs. The kettle body is a double-layered structure composed of inner and outer spherical kettle bodies, with steam passing through the middle layer for heating. The large volume of steam inside the kettle makes it easy to get burned when opening the lid.
[0003] In response, Chinese patent application number CN202321775530.4 discloses a jacketed kettle. This solution mainly utilizes a winding assembly to simultaneously wind up two winding ropes. When the winding ropes are wound up, they drive the winding buckle and winding block to pull the lid. The lid rotates and rises around the hinge with the support of the hinge. When it is necessary to lower the lid, the winding assembly releases the wound winding ropes, and the lid, which is fixed to the winding block, slowly covers the jacketed kettle body. This allows the lid to be opened without the operator touching it, reducing the possibility of steam escaping from the jacketed kettle body and scalding the operator.
[0004] However, in the process of implementing the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application, the inventors of this utility model discovered that the above-mentioned technology has at least the following technical problems:
[0005] A single stirring rod is installed under the support plate. Because the support plate blocks the pot opening, it is impossible to insert other large stirring rods for stirring, resulting in a limited stirring function. Utility Model Content
[0006] To overcome the above deficiencies, this application provides a multi-functional jacketed kettle for the production of food additives, which aims to improve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] This application provides a multi-functional jacketed kettle for food additive production, including a jacketed kettle body and a rotating base. The jacketed kettle body includes a pot body and a pot lid. The pot body is mounted on the rotating base and rotates. One end of the pot lid is hinged to the rotating base. A counterweight is fixedly connected to the pot lid. A retractable stirring mechanism is provided on the pot lid.
[0008] In one specific embodiment, the stirring mechanism includes a stirring rod and a motor. The motor is mounted on the pot lid, and the stirring rod movably passes through the pot lid and the output shaft of the motor. The stirring rod is circumferentially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor.
[0009] In the above implementation process, a groove is provided on the body of the stirring rod, the output shaft of the motor is a hollow structure, the stirring rod passes through the output shaft, and a protrusion is provided on the output shaft to be stuck in the groove, so as to achieve circumferential fixation and axial sliding connection. The motor drives the stirring rod to rotate to achieve the stirring effect. The stirring rod can also retract to the side of the pot lid after the pot lid is opened, so that the pot opening is almost completely exposed, which makes it easy to insert other stirring structures.
[0010] In one specific implementation, a limiting block is provided at the upper end of the stirring rod, and the limiting block abuts against the output shaft of the motor.
[0011] In the above process, the limiting block is fixed to the upper end of the stirring rod by screw connection, which can restrict the stirring rod to the pot lid and prevent it from falling out. When the pot lid is closed, the stirring rod falls to the bottom of the pot body by its own weight, which can better fit the bottom of the pot body.
[0012] In one specific implementation, the pot body is fixedly connected to two ends of a rotating tube, the rotating tube is rotatably connected to the rotating seat, and a connector is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating tube, the connector being fixedly connected to the rotating seat.
[0013] In the above process, the connector is used to connect to external steam. The connector is fitted onto the rotating pipe and rotates. A sealing ring is provided at the connection point to achieve a rotating connection, which provides steam to the jacketed pot body for heating the pot body.
[0014] In one specific implementation, a handwheel is rotatably connected to the rotary base, and the handwheel is poweredly connected to the rotary tube.
[0015] In one specific implementation, a worm gear is fixedly connected to the rotating tube, and a worm is fixedly connected to the handwheel, with the worm meshing with the worm gear.
[0016] In the above process, turning the handwheel drives the pot to rotate through the meshing of the worm gear, making it easier to pour out the food additives.
[0017] In one specific implementation, the rotating base is provided with a pin lock that is pinned to the pot lid.
[0018] In the above process, when the pot lid is opened, a locking pin is used to lock the pot lid to prevent it from closing due to gravity.
[0019] In one specific implementation, bolts are provided between the pot body and the pot lid.
[0020] In the above process, one end of the bolt is hinged to the pot body. When the pot lid is closed, the bolt is turned into the U-groove on the pot lid to lock it, thereby locking the pot lid and also achieving pressure increase inside the pot.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are: the counterweight is used as a counterweight for the pot lid, which is convenient to open manually; the stirring mechanism can perform high-pressure sealing stirring inside the pot when the pot lid is closed, or it can retract when the pot lid is open, leaving space at the pot opening so that other stirring structures can be inserted, thus realizing multi-mode stirring.

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] Please see Figures 1-4This application provides a multi-functional jacketed kettle for food additive production, including a jacketed kettle body 10 and a rotating base 20. The jacketed kettle body 10 includes a pot body 11 and a lid 12. The pot body 11 is mounted on the rotating base 20 and rotates. One end of the lid 12 is hinged to the rotating base 20. A counterweight 30 is fixedly connected to the lid 12, and a retractable stirring mechanism 40 is provided on the lid 12. The counterweight 30 serves as a counterweight for the lid 12, facilitating manual opening. The stirring mechanism 40 can perform high-pressure sealing stirring inside the pot body 11 when the lid 12 is closed, or it can retract when the lid 12 is open, freeing up space at the opening of the pot body 11 for other stirring structures to be inserted, thus achieving multi-mode stirring.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 The stirring mechanism 40 includes a stirring rod 41 and a motor 42. The motor 42 is mounted on the pot lid 12. The stirring rod 41 movably passes through the pot lid 12 and the output shaft of the motor 42, and the stirring rod 41 is circumferentially fixed to the output shaft of the motor 42. A sliding groove is provided on the rod body of the stirring rod 41. The output shaft of the motor 42 has a hollow structure, and the stirring rod 41 passes through the output shaft. A protrusion on the output shaft is stuck in the sliding groove, achieving circumferential fixation and axial sliding connection. The motor 42 drives the stirring rod 41 to rotate to achieve the stirring effect. The stirring rod 41 can also retract towards the pot lid 12 after the pot lid 12 is opened, so that the opening of the pot body 11 is almost completely exposed, which facilitates the insertion of other stirring structures.
[0031] Please see Figures 1-4 A limiting block 43 is provided at the upper end of the stirring rod 41, and the limiting block 43 abuts against the output shaft of the motor 42. The limiting block 43 is fixed to the upper end of the stirring rod 41 by screw connection, which can restrict the stirring rod 41 to the pot lid 12 to prevent it from falling out. When the pot lid 12 is closed, the stirring rod 41 falls to the bottom of the pot body 11 by its own weight, which can better fit the bottom of the pot body 11.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-4 The pot body 11 has rotating pipes 13 fixedly connected to both ends. The rotating pipes 13 are rotatably connected to the rotating base 20. A connector 14 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating pipes 13, and the connector 14 is fixedly connected to the rotating base 20. The connector 14 is used to connect to external steam. The connector 14 is fitted onto the rotating pipes 13 and rotates. A sealing ring is provided at the connection point to achieve a rotatable connection, providing steam to the jacketed pot body 11 for heating the pot body 11.
[0033] Please see Figures 1-4 A handwheel 21 is rotatably connected to the rotating base 20, and the handwheel 21 is poweredly connected to the rotating tube 13. A worm gear 22 is fixedly connected to the rotating tube 13, and a worm 23 is fixedly connected to the handwheel 21, with the worm 23 meshing with the worm gear 22. Rotating the handwheel 21 drives the pot body 11 to rotate through the meshing of the worm gear 22 and the worm 23, facilitating the pouring out of food additives.
[0034] Please see Figures 1-4 The rotating base 20 is equipped with a pin lock 24 that is pinned to the pot lid 12. When the pot lid 12 is opened, the pin lock 24 is used to lock the pot lid 12 to prevent the pot lid 12 from closing due to gravity.
[0035] Please see Figures 1-4 A bolt 15 is provided between the pot body 11 and the pot lid 12. One end of the bolt 15 is hinged to the pot body 11. When the pot lid 12 is closed, the bolt 15 is turned into the U groove on the pot lid 12 to lock it, thereby locking the pot lid 12. This also enables pressure increase inside the pot.
[0036] The working principle of this multi-functional jacketed kettle for food additive production is as follows: When the lid 12 is closed, the bolt 15 is turned into the U-groove on the lid 12 and locked, thereby locking the lid 12. The stirring rod 41 uses its own weight to fall to the bottom of the pot body 11, which can better fit the bottom of the pot body 11 and achieve high-pressure sealed stirring. When non-heated stirring is required, the lid 12 can be opened manually. The counterweight 30 can offset most of the weight of the lid 12, making it easy to open. After the lid 12 is opened, the stirring rod 41 retracts to the side of the lid 12, so that the opening of the pot body 11 is almost completely exposed, which is convenient for other stirring structures to be inserted, making it more flexible to use. In summary, the counterweight 30 is a counterweight for the lid 12, which is convenient for manual opening. The stirring mechanism 40 can perform high-pressure sealed stirring inside the pot body 11 when the lid 12 is closed, and it can also retract when the lid 12 is opened, leaving space at the opening of the pot body 11 for other stirring structures to be inserted, thus realizing multi-mode stirring.
[0037] The above are merely embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, improvements, or equivalent substitutions made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
