[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0023] The terms used in this utility model, such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one", are only for clarity of description and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered as within the scope of implementation of this utility model.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-6 An automatic mixing device for dispensing yeast includes a body 1, a mixing chamber 2 inside the body 1, an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe fixedly installed on the side wall and bottom of the body 1 respectively, a rotating port on the top of the mixing chamber 2, a rotating rod 3 vertically rotatably installed inside the rotating port, a stirring component on the surface of the rotating rod 3, the stirring component including multiple stirring rods 12, the multiple stirring rods 12 being fixedly installed in a circumferential shape on the surface of the rotating rod 3, a discharge port 4 on the upper surface of the body 1, a feeding pipe 5 fixedly installed on the top of the body 1, the bottom end of the feeding pipe 5 covering the discharge port 4, and a hopper 6 fixedly installed on the top end of the feeding pipe 5.

[0025] An L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the top of the hopper 6. A drive motor 7 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the L-shaped plate. A rotating shaft 8 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the drive motor 7. The rotating shaft 8 extends into the feed pipe 5. A spiral auger blade 9 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating shaft 8 inside the feed pipe 5. A sprocket 10 is fixedly sleeved on both the output shaft of the drive motor 7 and the rotating rod 3. A chain 11 is meshed and wound on the two sprockets 10.

[0026] First, the raw materials are fed into the mixing chamber 2 through the feed pipe. Then, the yeast to be fed is fed into the hopper 6. At this time, the drive motor 7 is started. When the output shaft of the drive motor 7 rotates the rotating shaft 8, the rotating rod 3 will also rotate with the cooperation between the two sprockets 10 and the chain 11. At this time, the auger blades 9 fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating shaft 8 will transport the yeast in the hopper 6 to the mixing chamber 2 through the feed port 4. This allows the multiple stirring rods 12 to stir and mix the raw materials and yeast in the mixing chamber 2. There is no need for manual feeding of yeast, which reduces the workload of the operator. At the same time, it can ensure the uniformity of feeding. Only one set of electric drive device is needed to realize the automatic feeding of yeast and the rotation of multiple stirring rods 12.

[0027] The mixing chamber 2 is equipped with a material collection component. The material collection component is used to collect the yeast that enters from the discharge port 4 into the middle of the mixing chamber 2 and then discharge it to the surrounding area. The material collection component includes an installation ring 13 sleeved on the rotating rod 3, a guide plate 14, and a conical discharge block 15. The outer ring wall of the installation ring 13 is fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the mixing chamber 2 through a connecting rod. The discharge block 15 is rotatably sleeved on the rotating rod 3, and its top is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the installation ring 13 through two connecting rods. The guide plate 14 is inclined, and its bottom end is fixedly connected to the surface of the installation ring 13. The side wall of the installation ring 13 has an opening 16, and the upper surface of the guide plate 14 has a material groove 17 that communicates with the opening 16. The top of the guide plate 14 is located below the discharge port 4.

[0028] The yeast entering the mixing chamber 2 from the feed port 4 will fall into the feed trough 17 and slide down the wall of the feed trough 17 to enter the mounting ring 13 through the opening 16. Then it will fall onto the conical feed block 15 and fall outwards along the inclined surface of the feed block 15. That is, the yeast will concentrate in the middle of the mixing chamber 2 and then spread outwards in a relatively regular state. This can avoid the yeast from piling up or being unevenly distributed in a certain area, thus improving the uniformity of mixing. At the same time, after the yeast is quickly and evenly dispersed in the mixing chamber 2, the stirring rod 12 can quickly and efficiently stir the raw materials and yeast, shorten the overall mixing time, and improve production efficiency.

[0029] The walls of the material tank 17 and the surface of the material feeding block 15 are coated with a smooth paint. The smooth paint is polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The PTFE paint can reduce the friction between the yeast and the contact surfaces of the material tank 17 and the material feeding block 15.

[0030] A protective shell 18 is rotatably sleeved on the output shaft of the drive motor 7 and the rotating rod 3. The sprocket 10 and the chain 11 are both located inside the protective shell 18. The protective shell 18 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate by a support rod. A groove 19 with the same shape as the chain 11 is opened on the bottom wall of the inner wall of the protective shell 18. Multiple sliding rods 20 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the chain 11. The bottom ends of the multiple sliding rods 20 are slidably arranged in the groove 19.

[0031] The protective shell 18 can protect the chain 11 and sprocket 10, preventing them from being exposed to the outside and easily getting caught in foreign objects or deformed by external forces. At the same time, when the chain 11 is running, multiple slide bars 20 will slide in the slide groove 19. The slide bars 20 can support the chain 11 and prevent the chain 11 from separating from the sprocket 10.

[0032] In this invention, the yeast to be fed is put into the hopper 6, and then the drive motor 7 is started. The output shaft of the drive motor 7 will rotate the rotating shaft 8 and the auger blades 9, so that the yeast in the hopper 6 can be automatically fed from the feeding port 4 without manual feeding. At the same time, it can also ensure the uniformity of feeding. In addition, with the cooperation between the sprocket 10 and the chain 11, the rotating shaft 8 will also rotate the rotating rod 3 and the stirring component together during the rotation, so as to achieve the purpose of stirring and mixing the raw materials and yeast in the mixing chamber 2.

[0033] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", "linking", "fixing", etc., should be interpreted broadly.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
