Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ice cream processing technology, and more specifically, to an ice cream processing mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Ice cream is a popular frozen food, mainly made from milk, cream, sugar, emulsifiers, stabilizers, and other ingredients through multiple steps including mixing, sterilization, homogenization, aging, freezing, and filling. In the ice cream production process, the mixing equipment is one of the most crucial pieces of equipment, as its performance directly affects the quality, taste, and production efficiency of the finished product. The mixing equipment blends ice cream powder with additives, milk, and other ingredients to form a homogeneous emulsion mixture. This mixing process requires not only high uniformity but also adherence to food hygiene standards, rapid processing efficiency, and precise temperature control.

[0003] Existing ice cream processing mixing equipment typically pours a certain proportion of ice cream powder and additives directly into the mixing tank when mixing raw materials, which causes the powder and liquid additives to easily clump together and are difficult to mix. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides an ice cream processing mixing device that overcomes or at least partially solves the above technical problems.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0006] This utility model provides an ice cream processing mixing device, including a mixing tank and a feeding hopper. The feeding hopper is installed on the surface of the mixing tank, and a discharging hopper is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank. A mixing mechanism is installed on the surface of the mixing tank for mixing ice cream ingredients. The mixing mechanism includes:

[0007] A first rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the mixing tank. A stirring rod is symmetrically mounted on the surface of the first rotating shaft, and stirring blades are installed between adjacent stirring rods.

[0008] The guide plate is fixedly installed inside the mixing tank;

[0009] The V-shaped feed plate is slidably installed inside the mixing tank to block the guide plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a motor is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mixing tank, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft to drive the first rotating shaft to rotate.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the surface of the V-shaped feed plate is provided with a plurality of sieve holes for sieving the powder.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a second rotating shaft is rotatably mounted inside the mixing tank, and a cam is fixedly mounted on the surface of the second rotating shaft. The cam contacts the surface of the V-shaped discharge plate and is used to drive the V-shaped discharge plate to move up and down.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a gear is fixedly mounted on one end of the second rotating shaft, a toothed plate is slidably mounted on the side wall of the mixing tank, and a bracket is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the mixing tank, with the toothed plate slidably connected to the bracket.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a rotating wheel is fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft, an eccentric shaft is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating wheel, a drive frame is sleeved on the surface of the eccentric shaft, and the drive frame is fixedly connected to the toothed plate.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the mixing tank is equipped with an injection mechanism for injecting liquid raw materials. The injection mechanism includes an injection cylinder and a piston. The injection cylinder is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mixing tank, and the piston is slidably installed in the inner cavity of the injection cylinder. A connecting rod connects the piston to the drive frame.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, one-way valves are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the injection cylinder, and injection pipes are symmetrically installed on the side wall of the mixing tank. Injection holes are opened between the injection pipes and the inner cavity of the mixing tank. One of the one-way valves is connected to the injection pipe through a pipe. A box is installed on the side wall of the mixing tank for storing liquid raw materials, and another one-way valve is connected to the box through a pipe.

[0017] The ice cream processing mixing equipment provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. By setting up a mixing mechanism, when the motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate, it drives the rotating wheel to rotate synchronously. This drives the drive frame and toothed plate to move up and down reciprocally through the eccentric shaft. The drive gear drives the second rotating shaft to rotate reciprocally, and the cam drives the V-shaped feeding plate to move up and down reciprocally. This intermittently blocks the guide plate, allowing the raw materials in the feed hopper to fall intermittently onto the V-shaped feeding plate, thus achieving intermittent feeding. The powder is also screened through the sieve holes to prevent the powdered raw materials from clumping. During the movement of the V-shaped feeding plate, the clumped raw materials are impacted and broken up, which facilitates subsequent mixing.

[0019] 2. By setting up an injection mechanism, when the motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate, the piston can be driven to move back and forth in the injection cylinder through the drive frame. The two one-way valves are alternately opened to inject the liquid raw materials in the box into the injection pipe and into the mixing tank through the injection hole, which facilitates mixing.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: an ice cream processing mixing device, including a mixing tank 1 and a feeding bin 2. The feeding bin 2 is installed on the surface of the mixing tank 1 and is used for feeding powder raw materials. A discharging bin 3 is installed at the bottom of the mixing tank 1 for discharging materials. A mixing mechanism 4 is installed on the surface of the mixing tank 1 for mixing ice cream raw materials. The mixing mechanism 4 includes a first rotating shaft 401, a guide plate 405 and a V-shaped feeding plate 406. The first rotating shaft 401 is rotatably installed in the inner cavity of the mixing tank 1. A motor 402 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mixing tank 1. The output end of the motor 402 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 401 for driving the first rotating shaft 401 to rotate. A stirring rod 403 is symmetrically installed on the surface of the first rotating shaft 401. A stirring blade 404 is installed between adjacent stirring rods 403. The first rotating shaft 401 can be driven to rotate by the motor 402, thereby mixing the raw materials by the stirring rods 403 and the stirring blades 404.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 In a preferred embodiment, a guide plate 405 is fixedly installed inside the mixing tank 1, and a V-shaped discharge plate 406 is slidably installed inside the mixing tank 1 to block the guide plate 405 and perform intermittent discharge. The surface of the V-shaped discharge plate 406 has several sieve holes 407 for sieving the powder and preventing clumping. A second rotating shaft 408 is rotatably installed inside the mixing tank 1, and a cam 409 is fixedly installed on the surface of the second rotating shaft 408. The cam 409 interacts with the V-shaped discharge plate 406. The surface contacts the V-shaped feed plate 406 for lifting and lowering. When the second rotating shaft 408 rotates, the V-shaped feed plate 406 can be driven to move up and down reciprocally through the cam 409, thereby intermittently blocking the guide plate 405, so that the raw material in the feed bin 2 intermittently falls to the V-shaped feed plate 406, realizing intermittent feeding. The powder is screened through the sieve hole 407 to avoid the powder raw material from clumping. During the movement of the V-shaped feed plate 406, the clumped raw material is impacted and broken, which is convenient for subsequent mixing.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 In a preferred embodiment, a gear 410 is fixedly installed at one end of the second rotating shaft 408, a toothed plate 411 is slidably installed on the side wall of the mixing tank 1, a bracket 412 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mixing tank 1, the toothed plate 411 is slidably connected to the bracket 412, a rotating wheel 413 is fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft 401, an eccentric shaft 414 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating wheel 413, a drive frame 415 is sleeved on the surface of the eccentric shaft 414, and the drive frame 415 is fixedly connected to the toothed plate 411. When the motor 402 drives the first rotating shaft 401 to rotate, it drives the rotating wheel 413 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the drive frame 415 and the toothed plate 411 to move up and down reciprocally through the eccentric shaft 414, and driving the gear 410 to rotate reciprocally.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, during use, the powdered raw material to be mixed is poured into the feed hopper 2. When the motor 402 drives the first rotating shaft 401 to rotate, it drives the rotating wheel 413 to rotate synchronously. This drives the drive frame 415 and the toothed plate 411 to move up and down reciprocally through the eccentric shaft 414. The drive gear 410 drives the second rotating shaft 408 to rotate reciprocally. The cam 409 drives the V-shaped feed plate 406 to move up and down reciprocally, thereby intermittently blocking the guide plate 405. This causes the raw material in the feed hopper 2 to fall intermittently onto the V-shaped feed plate 406, achieving intermittent feeding. The powder is also screened through the sieve holes 407 to prevent the powdered raw material from clumping. During the movement of the V-shaped feed plate 406, the clumped raw material is impacted and broken up, which facilitates subsequent mixing.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 In a preferred embodiment, a material injection mechanism 5 is installed on the surface of the mixing tank 1 for injecting liquid raw materials. The material injection mechanism 5 includes a material injection cylinder 501 and a piston 502. The material injection cylinder 501 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the mixing tank 1. The piston 502 is slidably installed in the inner cavity of the material injection cylinder 501. A connecting rod 503 is connected between the piston 502 and the drive frame 415. When the motor 402 drives the first rotating shaft 401 to rotate, the piston 502 can be driven to reciprocate in the material injection cylinder 501 through the drive frame 415.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-4 In a preferred embodiment, one-way valves 504 are symmetrically installed at the bottom of the injection cylinder 501, and injection pipes 505 are symmetrically installed on the side wall of the mixing tank 1. Injection holes 506 are opened between the injection pipes 505 and the inner cavity of the mixing tank 1. One of the one-way valves 504 is connected to the injection pipe 505 by a pipe. A box 507 is installed on the side wall of the mixing tank 1 for storing liquid raw materials. Another one-way valve 504 is connected to the box 507 by a pipe. When the drive frame 415 drives the piston 502 to move back and forth in the injection cylinder 501, the two one-way valves 504 are alternately opened, injecting the liquid raw materials in the box 507 into the injection pipe 505, and then into the mixing tank 1 through the injection hole 506, which facilitates mixing.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, during use, the liquid raw material to be mixed is injected into the housing 507. When the motor 402 drives the first rotating shaft 401 to rotate, the piston 502 can be driven to reciprocate in the injection cylinder 501 through the drive frame 415. The two one-way valves 504 are alternately opened to inject the liquid raw material in the housing 507 into the injection pipe 505, and then into the mixing tank 1 through the injection hole 506 for easy mixing.

[0034] Specifically, the working principle of this ice cream processing mixing equipment is as follows: When in use, the powdered raw materials to be mixed are poured into the feeding hopper 2. When the motor 402 drives the first rotating shaft 401 to rotate, it drives the rotating wheel 413 to rotate synchronously. This drives the drive frame 415 and the toothed plate 411 to move up and down reciprocally through the eccentric shaft 414. The drive gear 410 drives the second rotating shaft 408 to rotate reciprocally. The cam 409 drives the V-shaped feeding plate 406 to move up and down reciprocally, thereby intermittently blocking the guide plate 405. This causes the raw materials in the feeding hopper 2 to fall intermittently onto the V-shaped feeding plate 406, achieving intermittent feeding. The powder is screened through the sieve holes 407 to prevent the powdered raw materials from clumping. During the movement of the V-shaped feeding plate 406, the clumped raw materials are impacted and broken up, which facilitates subsequent mixing.

[0035] When the liquid raw material to be mixed is injected into the housing 507, the first rotating shaft 401 is driven to rotate by the motor 402, and the piston 502 is driven to reciprocate in the injection cylinder 501 through the drive frame 415. The two one-way valves 504 are alternately opened to inject the liquid raw material in the housing 507 into the injection pipe 505, and then into the mixing tank 1 through the injection hole 506 for easy mixing.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
