Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food processing mixing devices, specifically a food processing mixing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the food processing process, it is necessary to mix a variety of materials. Mixing a variety of ingredients is also one of the main ways to enhance the flavor of food. The quality of the mixing is also directly related to the quality of the food. During the processing, the food materials will generate heat due to stirring. The rise in food temperature will affect the taste of the finished product and accelerate the spoilage of the food. Therefore, it is necessary to cool down the food during the mixing process.
[0003] Currently, food processing mixing devices mainly cool the temperature generated by stirring during processing by cooling the mixing tank. For example, a patent with publication number CN221132039U discloses a food processing mixing device that places the food to be stirred inside the mixing tank, then activates a cooler to cool the inside of the tank, and then moves the stirring rod inside the mixing tank via an electric telescopic rod. The stirring rod is then driven by a drive motor to rotate, thereby stirring the food. However, existing mixing devices can only cool the tank wall during use. The food can only be cooled by contacting the tank wall, resulting in poor mixing and material accumulation, which further hinders effective cooling. Therefore, this paper proposes a food processing mixing device to address these issues. Utility Model Content

Two guide grooves 23 are opened on the side opposite to the vertical plate 21 of the flipping plate 22. Limiting grooves 24 are opened on the inner walls of the two guide grooves 23. The circulation chamber 31 is fixed on the flipping plate 22. Lifting blocks 26 are slidably fitted in the two guide grooves 23. Limiting shafts 27 are fixed to both sides of the two lifting blocks 26. The limiting shafts 27 on the sides of the two lifting blocks 26 are slidably arranged in the corresponding limiting grooves 24. Threaded holes are opened through the two lifting blocks 26. A support plate 214 is fixed to the lower side of the flipping plate 22 opposite to the vertical plate 21.
[0034] The flipping assembly 2 also includes two fixed plates 28 fixed to the base plate 1. A drive shaft 29 is rotatably mounted between the two fixed plates 28. Worms 210 are fixed to both ends of the drive shaft 29. Lead screws 25 are provided on the sides of the two worms 210. The two lead screws 25 pass through and are threaded into the threaded holes of the two lifting blocks 26, and the two lead screws 25 are rotatably mounted on the base plate 1.

[0036] The mixing assembly 4 also includes a second motor 411, which is fixed to the tilting plate 22 by a support. The output end of the second motor 411 is fixedly connected to a drive gear 412, and the drive gear 412 is meshed with a gear ring 48 for transmission. A discharge port 45 is fixed to the lower part of the second end cover 43, and a feeding port 44 is fixed to the upper part of the first end cover 42.
[0037] The discharge port 45 is provided with a slot, and a plug plate 46 for closing the discharge port 45 is slidably inserted into the slot.
[0038] During operation, existing mixing devices can only cool the walls of the mixing drum. Food ingredients can only be cooled by contacting the drum wall, resulting in poor mixing and material accumulation, which further hinders effective cooling. In this solution, food ingredients are fed into the tilting drum 47 through the feeding port 44. Then, the second motor 411 is controlled to operate. When the second motor 411 is driven, it drives the gear ring 48 through the drive gear 412. The gear ring 48 is fixed on the tilting drum 47. The rotation of the gear ring 48 drives the tilting drum 47 to rotate. When the tilting drum 47 rotates, it rotates between the first end cover 42 and the second end cover 43. During rotation, the turning plate 49 is used to turn and mix the food ingredients inside, thus achieving the purpose of mixing. Compared with the mixing mechanism in traditional mixing devices, the mixing effect of food ingredients is better.
[0039] During the mixing process, the operation of the refrigeration equipment 35 is controlled. When the refrigeration equipment 35 is running, it cools down the liquid in the circulation chamber 31. In conjunction with the operation of the circulation pump 34, the circulation pump 34 pumps the liquid in the circulation chamber 31 through the connecting pipe 32 on one side to multiple U-shaped pipes 33. Then, the liquid flows back from the multiple U-shaped pipes 33 to the circulation chamber 31 through the connecting pipe 32 on the other side. The casing 410 is fitted and fixed in the fitting groove on the circulation chamber 31. When the tilting cylinder 47 rotates, it rotates inside the casing 410. At this time, the heat generated by the mixing of the food materials is carried away by the liquid in the multiple U-shaped pipes 33, so as to achieve the effect of cooling the materials. With the fitting of the circulation chamber 31 and the casing 410 and the rotation and contact of the tilting cylinder 47 and the casing 410, the liquid in the circulation chamber 31 cools down the tilting cylinder 47 through the casing 410, thereby further improving the cooling effect of the food materials during mixing.
[0040] After the materials are mixed, the No. 1 motor 212 is controlled to operate. When the No. 1 motor 212 operates, it drives the drive shaft 29 to rotate. The rotation of the drive shaft 29 drives the two worm gears 210 to drive the two worm wheels 211. In turn, the rotation of the worm wheels 211 drives the two lead screws 25 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, under the limiting position of the guide groove 23 on the lifting block 26, the lead screw 25 will rise and fall when it rotates. Under the limiting position of the limiting shaft 27 on the limiting groove 24, the two lifting blocks 26 will move towards the limit during the rising and falling. The side of the tilting plate 22 is raised, and the lifting block 26 slides in the guide groove 23 during the lifting process, and the limiting shaft 27 slides in the limiting groove 24. When the tilting plate 22 is raised, it will rotate around the rotating connection shaft at the top of the upright plate 21, thereby tilting the components on the tilting plate 22. When the tilting plate 22 is tilted, the mixing component 4 will tilt, which will help to remove the insert plate 46 from the discharge port 45, thereby discharging the mixed material in the tilting cylinder 47 through the discharge port 45 to complete the discharge.
[0041] It achieves the function of mixing ingredients in food processing. Compared with traditional mixing devices, it mixes food materials better and effectively avoids affecting the taste or accelerating the spoilage of food materials due to the temperature rise caused by mixing.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
