Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of fruit juice mixing, and in particular to a fruit juice mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] A juice mixing unit is a device used to mix different types of juices, concentrates, water, or other liquid ingredients in a specific ratio to produce a homogeneous mixture. It is widely used in the beverage industry, catering industry, and home applications, and can be used to produce compound juices, formulate flavored beverages, or create customized drinks.

[0003] In related technologies, fruit juice mixing mainly relies on agitated mixers, static mixers, or high-pressure homogenizers. Agitation mixers are prone to creating stratification or dead zones, resulting in uneven distribution of fruit pulp and uneven mixing. The mixing effect of static mixers is affected by the fluid Reynolds number, and the mixing efficiency is low under low Reynolds number conditions, and it is difficult to adapt to raw materials with different pulp contents. High-pressure homogenizers forcefully break down fruit pulp under high pressure, which consumes a lot of energy and may cause juice oxidation or nutrient loss due to excessive shearing. In addition, during use, the stirring blades or complex flow channel structure are prone to leaving fruit residue, which breeds bacteria and increases the difficulty of cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a juice mixing device that utilizes internal pressure changes to promote continuous juice feeding and discharging, and performs multi-stage mixing of juice during the feeding and discharging process. It also increases the fluidity and uniformity of the juice through extrusion pressure, thereby improving the juice mixing efficiency. It is suitable for mixing raw materials with different pulp contents, and has a relatively simple structure, making it easy to disassemble, assemble, and perform daily maintenance and cleaning, thus reducing the difficulty of cleaning.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a juice mixing device, comprising a receiving cylinder, a pressure cylinder, a feeding pipe, a first driving mechanism, and a mixing and discharging mechanism. The receiving cylinder is disposed on and connected to the pressure cylinder, the feeding pipe is disposed on the receiving cylinder, the first driving mechanism is disposed on the receiving cylinder, and the mixing and discharging mechanism comprises a discharging box, a mixing component, and a feeding pipe. The discharging box is movably connected to the pressure cylinder, and the upper part of the discharging box has multiple through holes. The feeding pipe is disposed on and connected to the discharging box, and the mixing component is disposed on the discharging box.

[0007] This utility model discloses a juice mixing device for mixing raw materials with different pulp contents. Through the sliding of the first driving mechanism in the receiving cylinder and the pressure cylinder, a pressure difference is generated to realize the automatic feeding of the feeding pipe and the extrusion mixing of the juice raw materials. Moreover, the juice and pulp raw materials are mixed in multiple stages during the feeding, cavity conversion and extrusion mixing processes, which improves the mixing fluidity, uniformity and continuity of the pulp and juice raw materials, thereby improving the mixing efficiency. The device is detachable and has a relatively simple internal structure, which is convenient for daily maintenance and cleaning, and effectively reduces the cleaning difficulty.

[0022] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Rather, the embodiments of the present invention include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0023] The juice mixing device of this utility model embodiment will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the juice mixing device of this utility model embodiment may include a receiving cylinder 1, a pressure cylinder 2, a feeding pipe 3, a first driving mechanism 4, and a mixing and discharging mechanism 5.

[0025] The storage cylinder 1 is mounted on the pressure cylinder 2 and is connected to the pressure cylinder 2. The feed pipe 3 is mounted on the storage cylinder 1. The first drive mechanism 4 is mounted on the storage cylinder 1.

[0026] It should be noted that the storage cylinder 1 and the pressure cylinder 2 are integrated and are stably installed by bolting the upper connecting frame, thus maintaining the operational stability of the first drive mechanism 4.

[0027] The mixing and discharging mechanism 5 includes a discharge box 51, a mixing component 52, and a discharge pipe 53.

[0028] The discharge box 51 is movably connected to the pressure cylinder 2. The upper part of the discharge box 51 is provided with multiple through holes 511. The discharge pipe 53 is set on the discharge box 51 and is connected to the discharge box 51. The mixing component 52 is set on the discharge box 51.

[0029] It should be noted that when the first drive mechanism 4 moves within the receiving cylinder 1 and the pressure cylinder 2, it generates a pressure difference, which passes through multiple through holes 511 and the mixing component 52 to achieve extrusion mixing and discharge, maintaining mixing continuity and improving mixing efficiency.

[0030] Specifically, during the actual mixing process, relevant personnel use mounting brackets to bolt and fix the device. The feed pipe 3 is connected to the storage tank. In the initial state, the first drive device 41 is in a retracted state, and the sealing disc 42 is at its highest point. When feeding, the first drive device 41 is extended, causing the sealing disc 42 to slide downward against the inner wall of the pressure cylinder 2. The receiving cylinder 1 is under negative pressure, causing the first one-way valve 31 to open. Feed is then fed into the receiving cylinder 1 through the feed pipe 3. After entering the receiving cylinder 1, the raw material falls onto the sealing disc 42. The impact of the falling raw material initiates initial mixing. When the sealing disc 42 moves and contacts the mixing and discharging mechanism 5, the first driving device 41 drives the sealing disc 42 to retract, causing the raw material to move upward a certain distance, and the gas inside the receiving cylinder 1 is discharged through the second one-way valve 11. When the sealing disc 42 enters the receiving cylinder 1, the raw material flows into the pressure cylinder 2 from the connection between the receiving cylinder 1 and the pressure cylinder 2, and is impacted again to achieve a second mixing. The first driving device 41 pushes the sealing disc 42 downward again, pushing the raw material through the through hole 511 and the mixing component 52 to achieve uniform mixing of the raw material, and the material is discharged through the discharge pipe 53.

[0031] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the feed pipe 3 is equipped with a first check valve 31, and the receiving cylinder 1 is equipped with a second check valve 11.

[0032] It should be noted that the first one-way valve 31 is used to feed material into the receiving cylinder 1 through the feed pipe 3, and to prevent material backflow during the process of the sealing disc 42 rising and driving the material to move. The second one-way valve 11 is used to discharge air inside the receiving cylinder 1 when the sealing disc 42 rises, and to maintain a closed state during the extrusion and mixing process, thus maintaining vacuum feeding in the receiving cavity.

[0033] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figures 2-6 As shown, the mixing component 52 includes multiple sets of shearing teeth 521, multiple guide plates 522, and multiple rubber valves 523.

[0034] Among them, multiple sets of shearing teeth 521 are respectively disposed on multiple through holes 511, multiple rubber flaps 523 are respectively disposed on multiple through holes 511 and located above the shearing teeth 521, and multiple guide plates 522 are disposed on the discharge box 51.

[0035] It should be noted that when the sealing disc 42 presses the raw material into the discharge box 51, it causes the raw material to expand the rubber flap 523 and spray out at a certain flow rate, increasing the mixing efficiency. At the same time, the shearing teeth 521 cut the pulp in the raw material to maintain a certain particle size and avoid the pulp from being too large. After being sprayed out, the raw material impacts the discharge box 51 and is spirally discharged through the spiral guide plate 522, increasing the fluidity of the mixed raw material.

[0036] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first drive mechanism 4 includes a first drive device 41 and a sealing disc 42.

[0037] The first driving device 41 is mounted on the storage cylinder 1, and the sealing disc 42 is movably connected to the storage cylinder 1 and the pressure cylinder 2 through the first driving device 41.

[0038] It should be noted that the first driving device 41 proposed in the above embodiment is a cylinder, the outer diameter of the sealing disc 42 is equal to the inner diameter of the pressure cylinder 2, and the sealing disc 42 is made of rubber. When the cylinder drives the sealing disc 42 to move up and down in the pressure cylinder 2, the raw material feeding and mixing discharge are realized.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the discharge box 51 is provided with two symmetrically arranged handles 512 and a limit ring 513.

[0040] It should be noted that the limiting ring 513 is used to limit the connection position of the discharge box 51. At the same time, the bolt passes through the limiting ring 513 and is connected to the bottom end of the pressure cylinder 2 to improve the connection stability of the discharge box 51. When disassembling, the discharge box 51 can be rotated using the two symmetrically arranged handles 512.

[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pressure cylinder 2 and the storage cylinder 1 have the same volume, but the diameter of the storage cylinder 1 is larger than the diameter of the pressure cylinder 2.

[0042] It should be noted that when the sealing disc 42 is at its lowest position inside the pressure cylinder 2, the feed rate into the receiving cylinder 1 is at its maximum, thus avoiding the intake of too much raw material. Furthermore, the diameter difference between the receiving cylinder 1 and the pressure cylinder 2 is used to allow the raw material to fall back into the pressure cylinder 2 after feeding.

[0043] In summary, the juice mixing device of this utility model utilizes internal pressure changes to promote continuous feeding and discharging of juice, and performs multi-stage mixing of juice during the feeding and discharging process. It also increases the fluidity and uniformity of juice through extrusion pressure, thereby improving the juice mixing efficiency. It is suitable for mixing raw materials with different pulp contents, and its structure is relatively simple, making it easy to disassemble, assemble, and perform daily maintenance and cleaning, thus reducing the difficulty of cleaning.
