Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream production technology, and more specifically, to a raw material mixing device for ice cream production. Background Technology

[0002] The raw material mixing device for ice cream production is a key piece of equipment used to uniformly mix various raw materials during the ice cream production process. The mixing device mainly consists of a tank, a stirring motor, a stirring shaft, a stirring paddle, a feeding system, a discharging system, and a control system. The working principle of the raw material mixing device for ice cream production is to use the stirring paddle of the stirring system to rotate in the tank, generating a strong stirring force, so that various raw materials can flow and mix fully in the tank. The rotation of the stirring paddle pushes the materials to form a circulation flow in the tank, allowing materials in different positions to exchange positions, thereby achieving uniform mixing. At the same time, various ice cream raw materials are added to the tank in a certain proportion and order through the feeding system. Under the action of stirring force, these raw materials are quickly dispersed and mixed together. The control system precisely controls the stirring speed, stirring time, and feeding amount according to the set parameters to ensure the stability and consistency of the mixing process, so as to achieve the ideal mixing effect. Since the state of the ice cream raw materials directly affects the mixing and processing effect, it is necessary to perform mixing and filtering operations on the ice cream raw materials.

[0003] In related technologies, during the use of mixing devices, external ice cream ingredients are generally added directly into the tank through the feed head so that the mixing shaft can work with the mixing slurry to mix and process the ice cream ingredients for use.

[0004] However, during the current use of mixing equipment, because the powder portion of ice cream ingredients contains sugar, the ice cream powder is prone to clumping due to the pressure during transportation and storage. When the ice cream powder containing lumps is directly added into the tank, it is very easy for the ice cream powder to be mixed unevenly, affecting the mixing effect and uniformity of the mixing equipment.

A filter screen 7 is installed on the top of the filter frame 6. A filter scraping mechanism is movably connected to both sides of the top of the filter screen 7. External ice cream powder is added into the mixing tank 1 through the filter ports 4 and the filter heads 5. At this time, the filter screen 7, stably supported by the filter frame 6, filters the incoming ice cream powder. The ice cream powder is filtered and separated from the clumps, allowing the unclumped powder to enter the mixing tank 1 and be mixed by the mixing shaft 3. The filtering and shoveling mechanism includes a shovel seat 8, a shovel rod 9, and a punching rod 10. The shovel seat 8 is movably connected to both sides of the top of the filter screen 7, the shovel rod 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the shovel seat 8, and the punching rod 10 is fixedly connected to both sides of the shovel seat 8.

[0032] Reference Figures 2-4In a preferred embodiment, a following plate 11 is movably connected to the inner side of the feeding rod 10, and a following brush 12 is movably connected to the bottom of the following plate 11. This brushing and unblocking operation of the ice cream powder on the top of the filter screen 7 prevents the filter screen 7 from being clogged by the ice cream powder during operation, thus improving the working flow of the filter screen 7. A fixing seat 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the top of the shovel seat 8 and the following plate 11. A fixing bolt 14 threadedly connected to the mixing shaft 3 is movably connected inside the fixing seat 13. This provides a medium for the shovel seat 8 and the following plate 11 to be installed and fixed with the mixing shaft 3, thus improving the ease of installation of the shovel seat 8, the following plate 11 and the mixing shaft 3.

[0033] Reference Figures 2-4 In a preferred embodiment, a connecting groove 15 is provided at the bottom of the following plate 11, and a connecting strip 16 located inside the connecting groove 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the following brush 12. This can prevent the following brush 12 from shifting when connected to the following plate 11, thus improving the connection effect between the following brush 12 and the following plate 11. A magnetic strip 17 is embedded in the top of the inner wall of the connecting groove 15, and a magnetic strip 18 magnetically connected to the magnetic strip 17 is embedded in the top of the connecting strip 16. The following brush 12 and the following plate 11 can be magnetically positioned by the connecting strip 16, thus improving the connection stability between the following brush 12 and the following plate 11.

[0034] Reference Figures 2-3 In a preferred embodiment, a reinforcing opening 19 is provided at the top of the filter screen 7, located outside the mixing shaft 3. A reinforcing ring 20 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the reinforcing opening 19, located outside the mixing shaft 3. This allows for through-reinforcement between the filter screen 7 and the mixing shaft 3, preventing deformation of the inner side of the filter screen 7 due to the rotation of the mixing shaft 3 during operation. This improves the working stability of the filter screen 7. A latch 21 is provided at the top of the reinforcing ring 20, and a latch 22 is movably connected inside the latch 21. The bottom of the latch 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the filter frame 6. The reinforcing ring 20 can be used to securely engage the filter screen 7 and the filter frame 6, thus improving the installation and connection stability of the filter screen 7 and the filter frame 6.

[0035] Specifically, the working process or working principle of this raw material mixing device for ice cream production is as follows: During use, when the motor 2 is connected to an external power source via a wire and starts, driving the mixing shaft 3 to rotate inside the mixing tank 1, the fixed seat 13, in conjunction with the fixed bolt 14, connects and fixes the following plate 11 and the shovel seat 8 to the mixing shaft 3. At this time, the magnetic strip 17, in conjunction with the magnetic suction strip 18, through the connecting strip 16, magnetically positions the following plate 11 and the following brush 12, causing the following plate 11 to rotate with the mixing shaft 3 via the connecting groove 15 and the connecting strip 16, preparing for subsequent brushing of the ice cream powder on the surface of the filter screen 7. Simultaneously, the shovel seat 8 drives the shovel rod 9 and the dispensing rod 10 to rotate with the mixing shaft 3, preparing for subsequent shoveling and dispersing of the ice cream powder. During this process, the reinforcing port 19, in conjunction with the reinforcing ring 20, reinforces the filter screen 7 and the mixing shaft 3. Simultaneously, the clamping post 22, in conjunction with the clamping slot 21, through the reinforcing ring 20... 0. The filter screen 7 and the filter frame 6 are locked together for stability. Then, the external ice cream powder is added into the mixing tank 1 through the filter head 5 and the filter port 4. At this time, the ice cream powder entering through the filter screen 7 is filtered and screened. The clumps in the ice cream powder are retained on the top of the filter screen 7. The clumps in the ice cream powder continue to move downwards so that the mixing shaft 3 can mix them. During this process, the shovel seat 8 and shovel rod 9, which rotate with the mixing shaft 3, work with the material ejector rod 10 to shovel and separate the ice cream powder on the top of the filter screen 7 and the top of the inner wall of the mixing tank 1. The material ejector rod 10 breaks up the clumps of ice cream powder retained on the top of the filter screen 7, so that the ice cream powder clumps are restored to powder form and continue to pass through the perforated filter screen 7 into the bottom of the mixing tank 1 and be mixed by the mixing shaft 3. At the same time, the following plate 11 drives the following brush 12 to rotate, brushing and clearing the filter screen 7 to ensure that the filter screen 7 can smoothly mix and filter the ice cream powder.

[0036] It should be noted that the mixing tank 1, the motor 2 and the mixing shaft 3 are all existing devices or equipment, or devices or equipment that can be implemented with existing technology. Their power supply, specific composition and principle are clear to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail.
