[0002] In the field of casein processing and production, automatic feeding devices are key equipment to ensure production continuity and stability.

[0003] However, the casein raw material in the feeding box will become sticky due to humidity, causing the particles to stick together and clump. This will not only affect the flowability and dispersibility of the casein, but may also cause it to form large lumps during the mixing process. These lumps are easy to adhere to the feeding pipe, causing blockage, reducing the accuracy of the casein raw material feeding, affecting the smoothness and uniformity of the feeding, and reducing the processing efficiency. In view of this, we propose an automatic feeding device for casein processing. Utility Model Content

[0024] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model relates to an automatic feeding device for casein processing, including a screw feeding mechanism 1. A feeding box 2 is fixedly installed at the top feeding port of the screw feeding mechanism 1. An arc-shaped screen plate 3 is fixedly installed between the inner walls of the feeding box 2. A stirring assembly 4 is installed between the walls of the feeding box 2 and fits against the top of the feeding box 2. The screw feeding mechanism 1 is a prior art structure. It pushes the raw material to the feeding port through the operation of the screw rod to achieve a quantitative feeding effect. The feeding box 2 is set to store the raw material and, with the cooperation of the screen plate 3 and the stirring assembly 4, crushes and screens the raw material to improve the uniformity of feeding.

[0025] The mixing assembly 4 includes a drive motor 5 installed on the outside of the feeding box 2. The output end of the drive motor 5 is fixedly installed with a rotating rod 6 through the side wall of the feeding box 2, and the two ends of the rotating rod 6 are in close contact with the inner walls of both sides of the feeding box 2. Several stirring blades 7 are arranged in an array on the outer wall of the rotating rod 6. A hot air blower 9 connected to the rotating rod 6 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the side plate of the feeding box 2 away from the drive motor 5. By controlling the rotation of the rotating rod 6 through the drive motor 5, the multiple stirring blades 7 can crush the raw materials. The connection between the hot air blower 9 and the rotating rod 6 can increase the surface temperature, thereby drying the raw materials in contact during the crushing process, reducing humidity, and achieving the effect of not easily agglomerating into lumps.

[0026] In an embodiment of this utility model, the internal structure of the rotating rod 6 has a cavity 601, and a connection hole 602 is provided at one end of the rotating rod 6 that is connected to the hot air blower 9. A strip groove 603 is provided on the side wall of the rotating rod 6 that is connected to each stirring blade 7. The opening of the connection hole 602 can achieve the effect of communication, so that the incoming hot air can flow out to the position of the strip groove 603.

[0027] In the embodiments of this utility model, each stirring blade 7 includes a fixing part 701, and the end of the fixing part 701 is integrally formed with a C-shaped bearing part 702 for turning over the material, and the end of the bearing part 702 is integrally formed with a hanging part 703; the design of the bearing part 702 can turn the solidified raw material block upward during the rotation, thereby improving the stirring effect and facilitating the screening of raw materials by the sieve plate 3.

[0028] In an embodiment of this utility model, the internal structure of the stirring blade 7 has a flow cavity 704 communicating with the strip groove 603, and the end of the hanging part 703 is provided with an air outlet 705 communicating with the flow cavity 704. The design of the flow cavity 704 facilitates the entry of hot air, allowing the stirring blade 7 to heat up. The design of the air outlet 705 facilitates the outflow of hot air, improves the stability of the inner cavity of the feeding box 2, and further improves the drying effect.

[0029] In an embodiment of this utility model, a fixing ring 201 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the side plate of the feeding box 2 away from the drive motor 5. A limiting tube 202 communicating with the hot air blower 9 is fixedly installed on the inner ring of the fixing ring 201, and the other end of the limiting tube 202 passes through the side wall of the feeding box 2 and is inserted into the connecting hole 602. The fixing ring 201 restricts the position of the limiting tube 202, which can connect the hot air blower 9 and the rotating rod 6. The insertion connection between the limiting tube 202 and the connecting hole 602 can play a supporting role, so that the rotating rod 6 can rotate stably under the drive of the drive motor 5.

[0030] In the embodiments of this utility model, the lower convex portion of the sieve plate 3 is constructed with sieve holes 301 for screening, and the material of the sieve plate 3 is metal with a smooth surface; the setting of the sieve holes 301 can limit the size of the raw material feeding, keep the feeding uniform, and the smooth surface design can reduce the adhesion, making it easy for the raw material to fall automatically to the middle position along the arc surface, and it is not easy to stick together.

[0031] In an embodiment of this utility model, a first crushing trough 706 is formed between two adjacent stirring blades 7, and a downwardly inclined guide plate 8 is fixedly provided on the opposite side of the feed box 2. Several second crushing troughs 801 that cooperate with the first crushing trough 706 are constructed on the plate wall of the guide plate 8. The guide plate 8 can guide the feeding process, and the cooperation between the second crushing trough 801 and the first crushing trough 706 can crush the raw material when it is turned over, thereby further improving the crushing effect of the raw material.

[0032] Working Principle: This embodiment provides an automatic feeding device for casein processing. In use, firstly, the sieve plate 3 functions. Due to its arc shape and the presence of sieve holes 301 on its convex lower part, its smooth surface allows for preliminary screening of the incoming material. Small, suitable materials can pass through the sieve holes 301, while larger lumps and other unqualified materials remain on the sieve plate 3, preventing them from affecting subsequent processing. Next, the stirring assembly 4 begins operation. After the drive motor 5 starts, it drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate, and the stirring blades 7 on the outer wall of the rotating rod 6 move accordingly. The stirring blades 7 consist of a fixed part 701, a C-shaped support part 702, and a material hanging part 703. The C-shaped support part 702 effectively turns the material, ensuring thorough mixing and dispersion during the stirring process. The material hanging part 703 scrapes off the material adhering to the stirring blades 7, guaranteeing the stirring effect. Meanwhile, the first crushing trough 706 between two adjacent stirring blades 7 and the second crushing trough 801 on the guide plate 8 cooperate to crush the material and further refine the material particles. During the stirring process, the hot air generated by the hot air blower 9 enters the cavity 601 of the rotating rod 6 through the limiting pipe 202 and the connecting hole 602, and then enters the flow cavity 704 of the stirring blade 7 through the strip groove 603. Finally, it is blown out from the air outlet 705 of the hanging part 703, which raises the surface temperature of the rotating rod 6 and the stirring blade 7. In this way, the raw materials can be dried during the stirring process to reduce humidity and prevent the material from adhering to the stirring blade 7 and the inner wall of the feeding box 2. After screening, stirring, crushing and preheating, the material falls into the screw feeding mechanism 1 through the bottom opening of the feeding box 2. The screw feeding mechanism 1 smoothly and continuously conveys the material to the subsequent processing equipment through the rotation of the screw blades, completing the automatic feeding process of casein processing.

[0033] The embodiments disclosed herein are preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
