[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The present invention will be further described below.

[0027] To address the problems existing in the background art, this application proposes the following technical solution: A mixing tank 1 is included, with a feed pipe 2 fixedly installed on the mixing tank 1, a discharge pipe 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing tank 1, and an electromagnetic valve 4 fixedly installed on the discharge pipe 3. An installation ring 9 is rotatably arranged inside the mixing tank 1, and two sets of connecting rods 10 are fixedly installed on the circumference of the installation ring 9. Each set of connecting rods 10 is fixedly connected to a vertical rod 11. An arc-shaped scraper 12 is installed on one side of the vertical rod 11, and one side of the arc-shaped scraper 12 is in contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank 1. An installation plate 13 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical rod 11, and a stirring shaft 17 is rotatably installed between the installation plate 13 and the connecting rods 10. A stirring rod 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the stirring shaft 17. A drive mechanism is installed on the mixing tank 1, and a transmission mechanism is provided on the installation plate 13.

[0028] The compound probiotic raw material is fed into the mixing tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. The drive mechanism, in conjunction with the transmission mechanism, rotates the stirring rod 18 to stir the compound probiotic raw material inside the mixing tank 1. At the same time, the arc-shaped scraper 12 scrapes off the compound probiotic raw material adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, avoiding the occurrence of wall-hanging phenomenon. This ensures that the raw material fed into the mixing tank 1 is fully stirred, improves the uniformity of the raw material mixture, and makes the number of probiotics in the raw material evenly distributed, thereby improving the overall quality and efficacy of the product. After the mixture is fully stirred, the solenoid valve 4 is opened, and the raw material is discharged through the discharge pipe 3.

[0029] To further explain, the drive mechanism includes a first motor 5 fixedly mounted on the mixing tank 1 and a rotating shaft 7 rotatably mounted inside the mixing tank 1. The drive shaft of the first motor 5 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7, and the mounting ring 9 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 7.

[0030] The first motor 5 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. The rotating shaft 7 drives the upright 11 to rotate through the mounting ring 9 and the connecting rod 10. The upright 11 drives the arc-shaped scraper 12 to rotate. Since one side of the arc-shaped scraper 12 is in contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, the arc-shaped scraper 12 scrapes off the raw materials that are stuck to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 during the stirring process. The scraped raw materials are mixed together with other raw materials, ensuring that the raw materials are mixed evenly.

[0031] To further explain, the transmission mechanism includes a rotating rod 14 rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 13, a gear 15 fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating rod 14, a gear ring 21 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, a driving wheel 16 fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating rod 14, and a driven wheel 19 fixedly connected to one end of the stirring shaft 17. The gear ring 21 meshes with the gear 15, and a transmission belt 20 is sleeved on the outside of the driving wheel 16 and the driven wheel 19.

[0032] While the upright rod 11 drives the arc-shaped scraper 12 to rotate, the upright rod 11 drives the mounting plate 13 to rotate, and the mounting plate 13 drives the gear 15 to rotate. Since the gear ring 21 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 and meshes with the gear 15, the gear 15 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate, the rotating rod 14 drives the driving wheel 16 to rotate, and the driving wheel 16 drives the stirring shaft 17 to rotate through the driven wheel 19. The stirring shaft 17 drives the stirring rod 18 to rotate to stir and mix the raw materials inside the mixing tank 1. Through the transmission mechanism, the raw materials adhering to the inside of the mixing tank 1 are scraped off and mixed with other raw materials during the stirring process, thereby improving the uniformity of the compound probiotic raw material mixture.

[0033] Furthermore, an auger blade 8 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 7, and the auger blade 8 is positioned above the mounting ring 9.

[0034] When the rotating shaft 7 rotates, it simultaneously drives the auger blade 8 to rotate. The auger blade 8 continuously transports the raw materials located at the bottom of the mixing tank 1 to the top, thereby agitating the compound probiotic raw materials in the mixing tank 1 and improving the mixing effect. While the auger blade 8 agitates the raw materials in the mixing tank 1, the two sets of stirring rods 18 agitate the raw materials around the inside of the mixing tank 1, thereby fully agitating the raw materials and further improving the mixing effect and efficiency of the compound probiotics, thus improving the practicality of the device.

[0035] To further explain, a second motor 22 is fixedly installed on the outside of the feed pipe 2, and a lever 23 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the second motor 22. The lever 23 is rotatably installed inside the feed pipe 2, and a lever plate 24 is fixedly connected to the outside of the lever 23.

[0036] The second motor 22 drives the lever 23 to rotate, and the lever 23 drives the paddle 24 to rotate. The paddle 24 pushes the raw material in the feed pipe 2 into the mixing tank 1. The speed of the paddle 24 is controlled by the second motor 22 to control the rate at which the raw material enters the mixing tank 1. At the same time, the paddle 24 helps to push the raw material in the feed pipe 2 into the mixing tank 1, avoiding the raw material from being blocked in the feed pipe 2 and improving the practicality of the feed pipe 2.

[0037] To further explain, three sets of support legs 6 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 1, and the three sets of support legs 6 are evenly distributed.

[0038] The three sets of support legs 6 provide stable support for the mixing tank 1 on the one hand, and isolate the mixing tank 1 from the ground on the other hand, giving the mixing tank 1 a certain degree of moisture protection.

[0039] The specific operation is as follows: The compound probiotic raw material is fed into the mixing tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. The first motor 5 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. The rotating shaft 7 drives the auger blade 8 to rotate, continuously conveying the raw material at the bottom of the mixing tank 1 to the top while simultaneously agitating the compound probiotic raw material in the mixing tank 1. Simultaneously, the rotating shaft 7 drives the upright rod 11 to rotate via the mounting ring 9 and connecting rod 10. The upright rod 11 drives the mounting plate 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the gear 15 to rotate. The gear 15 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive wheel 16 to rotate. The drive wheel 16 drives the stirring shaft 17 to rotate via the driven wheel 19. The stirring shaft 17 drives the stirring rod 18 to rotate, mixing the raw material inside the mixing tank 1. Simultaneously, the upright rod 11 drives the arc-shaped scraper 12 to rotate, scraping off the raw material adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 during the mixing process. The scraped-off raw material is then mixed with other raw materials, improving the overall uniformity of the compound probiotic raw material mixture.
