Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to food processing equipment, and in particular to a lean meatball mixer. Background Technology

[0002] The processing of lean meatballs requires mixing lean meat, starch, and seasonings in a specific ratio. The mixture is then stirred using the high-speed rotating blades or paddles of a mixer to achieve a uniform molecular-level distribution of the ingredients within a short time. This avoids the uneven distribution of components that can occur with manual stirring (such as starch clumping or insufficient seasoning). This process improves the final taste, quality, and production efficiency of the food.

[0003] Existing mixers mainly consist of a frame, a mixing drum fixedly mounted on the frame, a drive shaft rotating within the mixing drum, a mixing blade fixed to the drive shaft and placed inside the mixing drum, a drive unit connected to the drive shaft, and a cover sealing the opening of the mixing drum. To ensure the hygiene and safety of processed food, food processing equipment needs to be cleaned regularly. However, when cleaning the mixing blade inside the mixing drum, the limited operating space and complex blade structure easily create large blind spots, making it difficult to clean the blade conveniently and effectively. This not only significantly increases the difficulty of manual cleaning but also ultimately affects the hygiene of the processed food. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lean meatball mixer that can conveniently and effectively clean the mixing paddle, thereby reducing the difficulty of manual cleaning and ensuring the hygiene of processed food.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a lean meatball mixer, comprising a frame, a mixing drum mounted on the frame, a drive shaft rotatably disposed in the mixing drum, a drive component connected to the drive shaft, a cover covering the opening of the mixing drum, and a mixing paddle. The drive shaft comprises two fixed sections rotatably mounted in the mixing drum and a disassembly section located between the two fixed sections. One of the fixed sections is connected to the drive component. The disassembly section is located inside the mixing drum, and the mixing paddle is mounted on the disassembly section. Both ends of the disassembly section are provided with docking components between them and the fixed sections. The docking components have a docking state that enables the disassembly section and the fixed section to rotate in a coordinated manner, and a disassembly state that enables the disassembly section and the fixed section to separate. A control component is connected between the two sets of docking components to control the switching of the docking components.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when the docking components are in the docked state, a steering linkage is formed between the disassembly section and the fixed section, allowing the drive component to drive the disassembly section and the stirring paddle to rotate through the fixed section, thereby achieving the stirring operation. When cleaning the equipment is required, the docking components are switched from the docked state to the disassembled state by the control component, allowing the disassembly section and the stirring paddle to be removed from the mixing tank for cleaning. Since there is no longer a limitation on the operating space caused by the mixing tank during cleaning, the stirring paddle can be cleaned effectively and conveniently. Furthermore, the removal of the stirring paddle's obstruction makes cleaning the inner cavity of the mixing tank much easier, thereby reducing the difficulty of manual cleaning and ensuring the hygiene of processed food.

[0007] The assembly is further configured as follows: the docking component includes a docking sleeve that is slidably fitted onto the disassembly section and reciprocates along the axis of the disassembly section toward the fixed section; a docking groove formed inside the docking sleeve; a docking block disposed on the fixed section facing the disassembly section and forming a steering linkage with the docking groove; and a linkage structure formed between the docking sleeve and the disassembly section and forming a steering linkage between the docking sleeve and the disassembly section.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the docking sleeve moves toward the fixed section to allow the docking block to be inserted into the docking groove. The linkage structure is set in conjunction to form a steering linkage between the disassembly section, the docking sleeve and the fixed section, so that the fixed section can drive the disassembly section to rotate.

[0009] The linkage structure is further configured such that: the linkage structure includes multiple linkage grooves disposed on the outer peripheral wall of the disassembly section and multiple linkage blocks fixedly disposed on the docking sleeve and extending into each linkage groove, and the multiple linkage grooves are distributed around the center of the disassembly section.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the linkage block moves along the axis of the disassembly section in the linkage groove to satisfy the docking function of the docking sleeve, and then the limiting between the two constitutes the steering linkage between the docking sleeve and the disassembly section.

[0011] Further configured as follows: the control component includes a control cavity disposed inside the disassembly section and connected to each linkage groove, a control airbag installed in the control cavity, a control plate connected to both ends of the control airbag, and a ventilation structure that enables the control airbag to communicate with the outside. The two control plates are respectively connected to each linkage block of the two sets of docking components. A sealing structure for sealing the linkage groove is provided between the docking sleeve and the disassembly section.

[0012] By employing the above technical solution, high-pressure gas is injected or discharged into the control airbag through the ventilation structure. The expansion and contraction of the airbag is controlled to cause the control plate to slide through the linkage block, thereby switching the docking assembly between two states. A sealing structure is used to prevent materials from entering the linkage groove.

[0013] The ventilation structure is further configured as follows: a ventilation element disposed at the outer end of one of the fixed sections, a first airway disposed within the fixed section and connected to the ventilation element, and a second airway disposed within the disassembly section and connected to the first airway and the control airbag.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the ventilation components are configured to control the intake and exhaust, and then the gas enters the control airbag through the first air passage and the second air passage.

[0015] The sealing structure is further configured such that: the sealing structure includes a control sealing ring disposed between the docking sleeve and the disassembly section and located on both sides of the linkage groove; when the docking assembly is in the docking state, the linkage groove is sealed by the control sealing ring.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, two control sealing rings are set to ensure the sealing of the linkage groove.

[0017] A further feature is provided: a main sealing ring for sealing the first air passage and the second air passage is provided between the fixed section and the disassembly section.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the main sealing ring is designed to achieve a detachable seal between the fixed section and the detachable section.

[0019] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: it can achieve convenient and effective cleaning of the stirring paddle, thereby reducing the difficulty of manual cleaning and ensuring the hygiene of processed food. Attached Figure Description
