[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pickled mustard tuber production equipment, and in particular to equipment for cleaning, soaking and mixing pickled mustard tubers. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of pickled mustard tubers, washing, soaking, and mixing are crucial and irreplaceable steps. The washing and soaking process, using specialized equipment and scientific procedures, thoroughly removes mud, impurities, and microorganisms from the surface of the raw materials. It also allows for precise control of soaking time and water volume based on the variety and desired taste of the mustard tubers, ensuring they absorb the right amount of water to achieve a crisp, tender, and perfectly textured feel. The mixing process is equally important. Highly efficient mixing equipment, with strict control over mixing time, speed, and intensity, ensures that every strand of mustard tuber is fully infused with salt, sugar, chili, spices, and other seasonings, achieving a uniform distribution of flavor and delivering a pure, consistent, and delicious pickled mustard tuber to consumers.

[0003] Currently, most mixing equipment used for pickled mustard tubers on the market adopts a single-blade mixing mode. During rotation, it can only drive the movement of pickled mustard tubers and seasonings in the vicinity of the mixing blade. The force is weak on materials in the edges and corners of the mixing drum, resulting in slow mixing speed. During long-term mixing, materials tend to accumulate at the bottom or corners of the mixing drum, further reducing the mixing effect. This leads to inconsistent product quality, seriously affecting production efficiency and failing to meet the growing market demand. Utility Model Content

It has the advantage of efficient mixing and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a washing, soaking, and mixing device for pickled mustard tubers, including a base, a soaking tank fixedly installed at the bottom of the base, a movable cover at the top of the soaking tank, a stirring motor installed at the top of the movable cover, a spiral stirring rod fixedly installed at the output end of the stirring motor through the movable cover, connecting rods symmetrically fixedly connected to the upper ends of the spiral stirring rod, a bearing seat fixedly connected to the other side of the two connecting rods, a bearing ring provided on the inner side of the bearing seat, a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the bottom of the bearing seat, a linkage gear fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft, an internal gear ring fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the movable cover, the inner side of the linkage gear meshing with the inner side of the internal gear ring, and multiple stirring blades uniformly fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the rotating shaft.

[0006] Preferably, a limiting groove is provided at the upper end of the base, and a forward and reverse motor is installed on the top of the base. The output of the forward and reverse motor passes through the base and is connected to a lead screw.

[0007] By setting up a forward and reverse motor, its forward and reverse motion is converted into linear motion through a lead screw, which precisely controls the lifting and lowering of the movable cover, facilitating material loading and unloading and equipment maintenance.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the bottom of the limiting groove, and a screw hole block is fixedly connected to the side of the movable cover. The screw hole block fits into the limiting groove, and the surface of the lead screw is threadedly connected to the inside of the screw hole block.

[0009] By using the lead screw, its threaded connection with the screw hole block, and its cooperation with the limit groove, the rotational motion of the forward and reverse motor is converted into the stable up and down linear motion of the movable cover.

[0010] Preferably, the upper end of the soaking tub is fixedly connected to a slide, the inner side of the slide is provided with a slide rail, and the inner side of the slide is provided with a sealing cover.

[0011] The inner slide rail of the slide table provides a precise sliding track for the sealing cap, allowing it to slide smoothly and facilitating the sealing and opening of the soaking tank.

[0012] Preferably, the two sides of the sealing cover fit into the inside of the slide rail and are slidably connected to the inside of the slide rail, and an observation port is provided on the top of the sealing cover.

[0013] With the observation port on the sealed lid, operators can observe the soaking status of the pickled mustard tubers in the soaking bucket at any time without opening the lid, ensuring that the soaking process is not disturbed.

[0014] Preferably, the sealing cap has a fixing screw through both ends, the soaking tank has two symmetrical positioning screw holes at the upper end, the bottom of the fixing screw is threaded into the positioning screw hole, and a drain pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the soaking tank.

[0015] By fixing the screw, it can be screwed into the positioning screw hole at the top of the soaking tank to tightly fix the sealing cover, effectively prevent the soaking solution from leaking and ensure a stable soaking environment.

[0016] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. By installing a stirring motor on the movable cover, the spiral stirring rod rotates at high speed to initially stir the pickled mustard greens and seasonings in the soaking tank. At the same time, when the spiral stirring rod rotates, it drives the bearing seat and rotating shaft to rotate through the connecting rod. The linkage gear, under the action of the internal gear ring, makes the rotating shaft rotate both on its own axis and around the center. The stirring blades evenly distributed at the bottom of the rotating shaft can stir the materials in all positions in the soaking tank during the rotation and revolution. Compared with the traditional single stirring blade mode, it greatly expands the stirring range, allowing the pickled mustard greens and seasonings to fully contact and mix evenly, effectively preventing the materials from accumulating on the edges and corners of the stirring tank, significantly improving stirring efficiency, and ensuring the consistency and stability of product quality.

[0018] 2. A sliding platform is fixed to the top of the soaking tank, and a movable sealing cover is installed inside the platform. When soaking is required, the sealing cover is slid along the slide rail to the appropriate position, and then the fixing screw is tightened to secure the sealing cover to the soaking tank. This effectively prevents the soaking liquid from leaking and external impurities from entering, providing a stable and hygienic environment for soaking the pickled mustard tubers. During the soaking process, the operator can observe the soaking status of the pickled mustard tubers in the tank at any time through the observation port on the top of the sealing cover without opening the sealing cover, avoiding interference from external factors and ensuring consistent soaking results. When not in use, the sealing cover can be pushed aside to increase the convenience of operation. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 This equipment is used for cleaning, soaking, and mixing pickled mustard tubers. It includes a base 1, a soaking tank 2 fixedly mounted at the bottom of the base 1, a movable cover 3 at the top of the soaking tank 2, and a stirring motor 4 mounted on the top of the movable cover 3. The output end of the stirring motor 4 passes through the movable cover 3 and is fixedly fitted with a spiral stirring rod 5. By mounting the stirring motor 4 on the movable cover 3, the spiral stirring rod 5 rotates at high speed, initially mixing the pickled mustard tubers and seasonings in the soaking tank 2. It can also drive the spiral stirring rod 5 to rotate in both forward and reverse directions, stirring the pickled mustard tubers and seasonings from different directions. When rotating forward, the mixture follows a conventional path; when rotating in reverse, the flow direction of the materials is changed, preventing material accumulation and further improving the uniformity of the mixing, allowing the pickled mustard tubers and seasonings to fully blend and enhancing the consistency of the product's flavor.

[0026] Please see Figures 2-3The upper ends of the spiral stirring rod 5 are symmetrically connected to connecting rods 6 on both sides. Bearing seats 7 are fixedly connected to the other side of the two connecting rods 6. Bearing rings are provided inside the bearing seats 7. A rotating shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the bearing seats 7. A linkage gear 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating shaft 10. An internal gear ring 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the movable cover 3. Under the constraint of the internal gear ring 8, the linkage gear 9 rotates while revolving around the internal gear ring 8. The inner side of the linkage gear 9 meshes with the inner side of the internal gear ring 8. Multiple stirring blades 11 are uniformly fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the rotating shaft 10. Simultaneously, the spiral... When the stirring rod 5 rotates, it drives the bearing seat 7 and the rotating shaft 10 to rotate through the connecting rod 6. Under the action of the internal gear ring 8, the linkage gear 9 causes the rotating shaft 10 to rotate on its own axis while also revolving around the center. The stirring blades 11, which are evenly distributed at the bottom of the rotating shaft 10, can stir the materials in various positions in the soaking tank 2 during the rotation and revolution. Compared with the traditional single stirring blade 11 mode, this greatly expands the stirring range, allowing the pickled mustard greens and seasonings to fully contact and mix evenly. This effectively avoids the accumulation of materials on the edges and corners of the stirring tank, significantly improves the stirring efficiency, and ensures the consistency and stability of product quality.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-2 The upper end of the base 1 has a limiting groove 13. A forward and reverse motor 14 is installed on the top of the base 1. The output of the forward and reverse motor 14 passes through the base 1 and is connected to a lead screw 15. The bottom of the lead screw 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the limiting groove 13. A screw hole block 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the movable cover 3. The screw hole block 16 fits into the limiting groove 13. The surface of the lead screw 15 is connected to the internal thread of the screw hole block 16. The movable cover 3 rises higher than the upper end of the soaking tank 2, so that the sealing cover 19 can be pushed and pulled smoothly. The forward and reverse motor 14 drives the lead screw 15 to rotate. By utilizing the threaded engagement between the lead screw 15 and the screw hole block 16, as well as the engagement between the screw hole block 16 and the limiting groove 13, the rotational motion of the motor is converted into a stable linear lifting motion of the movable cover 3. This makes the opening and closing of the movable cover 3 easy and convenient, facilitating the addition and removal of pickled vegetables into the soaking tank 2. It also facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the soaking tank 2, effectively improving the ease of operation and practicality of the equipment.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-4A slide 17 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the soaking tank 2. A slide rail 18 is provided on the inner side of the slide 17, and a sealing cover 19 is provided on the inner side of the slide 17. The two sides of the sealing cover 19 fit into and are slidably connected to the inner side of the slide rail 18. An observation port 20 is provided on the top of the sealing cover 19. By fixing the slide 17 to the upper end of the soaking tank 2 and providing a movable sealing cover 19 inside the slide 17, when soaking is required, the sealing cover 19 is slid along the slide rail 18 to a suitable position, and then the fixing screw 21 is tightened to make the sealing cover 19 tightly fixed on the soaking tank 2, effectively preventing the soaking liquid from leaking and the entry of external impurities, providing a stable and hygienic environment for soaking the pickled mustard tubers. During the soaking process, the operator can observe through the observation port 20 on the top of the sealing cover 19. The opening 20 allows for constant monitoring of the pickled mustard tuber soaking process without opening the sealing cap 19, preventing external factors from interfering with the soaking process and ensuring consistent soaking results. When not in use, the sealing cap 19 can be pushed aside for increased ease of operation. The sealing cap 19 has fixing screws 21 running through both ends. Two symmetrical positioning screw holes 22 are located at the top of the soaking tank 2. The bottom of the fixing screws 21 is threaded into the positioning screw holes 22. A drain pipe 12 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the soaking tank 2. The fixing screws 21 are gradually screwed into the positioning screw holes 22, tightly securing the sealing cap 19 to the soaking tank 2, creating a good seal and effectively preventing leakage of the soaking liquid and the entry of external impurities. This ensures a stable soaking environment and guarantees that the quality of the pickled mustard tuber soaking is not affected.

[0029] Working Principle: In practical use, first, put an appropriate amount of pickled mustard tuber raw material into the soaking tank 2, and then inject an appropriate amount of soaking liquid into the soaking tank 2 to carry out the soaking process of the pickled mustard tuber. The fixing screw 21 is fixed to the positioning screw hole 22 at the upper end of the soaking tank 2 to ensure the sealing of the soaking tank 2 and prevent the soaking liquid from leaking and external impurities from entering. After soaking, open the drain pipe 12 on one side of the bottom of the soaking tank 2 to drain the soaking liquid. Then, move the sealing cover 19 aside, and use the forward and reverse motor 14 to drive the lead screw 15 to rotate, which drives the movable cover 3 to move downward. Start the stirring motor 4. The output end of the stirring motor 4 drives the spiral stirring rod 5 to rotate. During the rotation of the spiral stirring rod 5, it directly stirs the pickled mustard tuber and seasonings in the soaking tank 2. During the mixing process, the connecting rods 6 symmetrically connected to both sides of the upper end of the spiral stirring rod 5 drive the bearing seat 7 to rotate. The rotating shaft 10 at the bottom of the bearing seat 7 rotates accordingly. The linkage gear 9 fixed at the upper end of the rotating shaft 10 meshes with the internal gear ring 8 fixed in the middle of the inner wall of the movable cover 3, so that the rotating shaft 10 will rotate along the internal gear ring 8 while rotating on its own axis. Multiple stirring blades 11 evenly fixed on the bottom surface of the rotating shaft 10 can fully stir the pickled mustard greens and seasonings in different positions in the soaking tank 2 during the rotation and revolution of the rotating shaft 10, ensuring that they are mixed evenly. After the stirring is completed, the forward and reverse motor 14 is started again to raise the movable cover 3, making it convenient to take out the stirred pickled mustard greens for subsequent processing.
