[0002] An automatic chocolate ingredient mixing machine is a device specifically designed to automatically mix various chocolate ingredients (such as cocoa powder, cocoa butter, sugar, dairy powder, etc.) in specific proportions. This equipment is typically used in chocolate production lines to ensure consistent quality and taste in every batch of chocolate, and is suitable for production lines requiring multiple recipe variations and small-batch customization.

[0003] However, existing automatic chocolate ingredient mixing machines often suffer from uneven mixing due to sticking to the inner wall of the mixing drum, and the scraper's hard pressing can cause damage, reducing the lifespan of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic chocolate ingredient mixing machine, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art, such as uneven mixing caused by sticking to the inner wall of the mixing drum during mixing, and damage caused by the hard squeezing of the scraper, thus reducing the service life of the device.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic chocolate ingredient mixing and proportioning machine, comprising a mixing drum, a top cover inserted into the bottom of the mixing drum, support rods fixedly connected to both sides of the top cover, a sliding block fixedly connected to one end of each support rod, a lifting assembly internally threaded to one set of the sliding blocks, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the bottom of the top cover, several sets of support assemblies fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating shaft, the lifting assembly comprising a threaded rod threadedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding block, a drive motor fixedly connected to the top end of the threaded rod; the support assembly comprising a fixed sleeve fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating shaft, a telescopic rod slidably connected to one end of each fixed sleeve, a damping hydraulic rod fixedly connected to one end of each telescopic rod, and a buffer spring sleeved on the surface of the damping hydraulic rod.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a scraper is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod, and a rotating motor is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft. The rotating motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a protective shell is fitted onto the surface of the rotating motor. The protective shell is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover, thereby protecting the rotating motor.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a turbine is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft, and the turbine is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the mixing cylinder. The turbine increases the mixing shear force.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a support base is fixedly connected to both sides of the mixing cylinder, and a support frame is fixedly connected to the top of the support base. A sliding groove adapted to the sliding block is opened on the inner side of the support frame. The sliding groove facilitates the sliding of the sliding block and limits its movement.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, three sets of connecting pipes are connected through the surface of the mixing cylinder, and a flow meter is provided on the surface of the connecting pipe. One end of the connecting pipe is connected through a raw material tank, which serves to hold the raw material.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the mixing cylinder, and three sets of support columns are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing cylinder. The support columns serve to support the mixing cylinder.

[0014] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0015] This utility model provides an automatic chocolate ingredient proportioning and mixing machine, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This automatic chocolate ingredient mixing machine, through the setting of the support components, when in use, starts the rotating motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed sleeve to rotate. As the scraper squeezes the inner wall of the mixing cylinder, the scraper squeezes the telescopic rod to slide inside the fixed sleeve, which in turn squeezes the damping hydraulic rod. The damping hydraulic rod is forced to contract, and the buffer spring is deformed to generate elastic force, pushing the scraper to stick tightly to the inner wall of the mixing cylinder, thereby achieving a thorough mixing effect. This prevents the inner wall of the mixing cylinder from sticking during mixing, which would lead to uneven mixing. At the same time, it avoids damage caused by the scraper's hard squeezing, thus improving the service life of the device.

[0017] 2. This automatic chocolate ingredient mixing machine, with its lifting assembly, allows for easy access during operation. When maintenance or cleaning of the mixing drum is required, the drive motor is activated, causing the threaded rod to rotate. This rotation, in turn, causes the threaded rod to rotate within the threaded hole of the sliding block, which in turn moves the sliding block within a groove on the inner side of the support frame. The sliding block then moves the support rod, which in turn raises and lowers the top cover to the appropriate position, achieving a stable lifting effect. This automated lifting of the top cover directly exposes the internal space of the mixing drum, eliminating the need for manual disassembly or climbing. This significantly reduces the difficulty of maintenance and cleaning, shortens downtime, and improves equipment utilization. Attached Figure Description

A lifting assembly 5 is threadedly connected to the interior of one set of sliding blocks 4. The lifting assembly 5 achieves the effect of stably raising the top cover 2. By automatically raising the top cover 2, the internal space of the mixing drum 1 can be directly exposed, eliminating the need for manual disassembly or climbing, significantly reducing the difficulty of inspection and cleaning, shortening downtime for maintenance, and improving equipment utilization. A rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top cover 2, and both sides of the rotating shaft 6 are fixedly connected to... Several sets of support components 7 are connected. The setting of support components 7 achieves the effect of thorough stirring and mixing, prevents the mixing cylinder 1 from sticking to the inner wall during mixing, which would lead to uneven mixing, and avoids damage caused by the scraper 8 pressing hard, thus improving the service life of the device. The lifting component 5 includes a threaded rod 501 that is threaded to the inner wall of the sliding block 4. The top end of the threaded rod 501 is fixedly connected to a drive motor 502. The support component 7 includes a fixed sleeve 701 that is fixedly connected to both sides of the rotating shaft 6. One end of the fixed sleeve 701 is slidably connected to a telescopic rod 702. One end of the telescopic rod 702 is fixedly connected to a damping hydraulic rod 703. A buffer spring 704 is sleeved on the surface of the damping hydraulic rod 703.

[0025] A scraper 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 702, and a rotating motor 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 6. The rotating motor 9 drives the rotating shaft 6 to rotate.

[0026] A protective shell 10 is fitted onto the surface of the rotating motor 9. The protective shell 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the top cover 2. The protective shell 10 serves to protect the rotating motor 9.

[0027] A turbine 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 6. The turbine 11 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom wall of the mixing cylinder 1. The turbine 11 increases the mixing shear force.

[0028] Both sides of the mixing cylinder 1 are fixedly connected to support bases 12, and the top of the support base 12 is fixedly connected to a support frame 13. The inner side of the support frame 13 is provided with a sliding groove that matches the sliding block 4. The sliding groove facilitates the sliding of the sliding block 4 and limits its position.

[0029] Three sets of connecting pipes 14 are connected through the surface of the mixing cylinder 1. A flow meter 15 is installed on the surface of the connecting pipe 14. One end of the connecting pipe 14 is connected through the raw material tank 16. The raw material tank 16 serves to hold the raw material.

[0030] The bottom of the mixing cylinder 1 is provided with a discharge pipe 17, and three sets of support columns 18 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing cylinder 1. The support columns 18 serve to support the mixing cylinder 1.

[0031] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows:

[0032] First step: When it is necessary to inspect or clean the inside of the mixing cylinder 1 during use, start the drive motor 502, so that the drive motor 502 drives the threaded rod 501 to rotate, and then the threaded rod 501 rotates in the threaded hole on the sliding block 4;

[0033] The second step: the sliding block 4 is driven to slide in the groove inside the support frame 13, and then the sliding block 4 drives the support rod 3, so that the support rod 3 drives the top cover 2 to rise and fall to the appropriate position.

[0034] Third step: When in use, start the rotating motor 9 to drive the rotating shaft 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed sleeve 701 to rotate. As the scraper 8 squeezes the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 1, the scraper 8 squeezes the telescopic rod 702 to slide inside the fixed sleeve 701, which in turn squeezes the damping hydraulic rod 703, causing the damping hydraulic rod 703 to contract under force. The buffer spring 704 is deformed under force to generate elastic force, which pushes the scraper 8 to stick tightly to the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 1 in the opposite direction.
