Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of corn chip processing technology, and in particular to a corn chip processing mixing device. Background Technology

[0002] Corn chips are the world's most popular cereal snack. The best raw material for processing corn chips is hard dent corn. Corn contains a large germ, which affects starch gelatinization and the shape of the corn chips. Therefore, corn chips are mostly made from corn grits after the husk and germ have been removed. After being fried thoroughly, the corn chips also need to be seasoned according to different tastes to enhance their flavor and increase customer willingness to buy.

[0003] According to the patent application published on the Internet, a high-temperature steaming and mixing device for corn flake processing with an exhaust mechanism (authorization announcement number: CN215124092U) is described as "including a frame, a cover plate on the top of the frame, two first hinges on the rear side of the cover plate near the bottom, the cover plate being movably connected to the top of the frame through the first hinges, a fixing plate being fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the cover plate, a horizontal plate being fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the frame near the bottom, a stirring mechanism in the inner cavity of the frame, and an exhaust mechanism on the top of the cover plate."

The existing corn chip processing equipment requires manual flipping of the hinge-type first hinges to drive the cover plate to rotate. The method of flipping the first hinges to pick up the material is inconvenient for discharging the material and requires a lot of manpower. At the same time, the excessive weight of the cover plate will also increase the production risk of the equipment when flipping the cover plate. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the corn chip processing stirring device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5This utility model provides an embodiment of a corn flake processing and mixing device, including a mixing tank 1, a rotatable mixing part inside the mixing tank 1, the mixing part being able to move up and down, a discharge part below the mixing part, the discharge part including a discharge pipe 14, the discharge pipe 14 being able to be opened when the mixing part moves upward, the mixing part including a mixing shaft 24, mixing blades 25 provided in the radial direction of the mixing shaft 24, a circular plate 241 provided at the top of the mixing shaft 24, a top cover 2 being able to cover the top of the mixing tank 1, the circular plate 241 being located above the top cover 2, the top cover 2 being able to support the circular plate 241, a plug 26 being rotatably connected to the outer diameter of the mixing shaft 24, the plug 26 being able to be inserted into the inner diameter of the discharge pipe 14, the plug... The bottom edge of 26 is chamfered 262. The bottom edge of the mixing tank 1 is provided with downward protruding support legs 11. The number of support legs 11 is at least three. A receiving box 3 can be placed under the mixing tank 1. The receiving box 3 can pass through the gap between any two support legs 11 to the bottom of the discharge pipe 14. The top of the cover 2 is provided with a discharge port 23. The stirring fins 25 of the stirring part can stir the corn flakes in the mixing tank 1, so that the corn flakes are fully stirred in the mixing tank 1. The discharge pipe 14 of the discharge part facilitates the discharge of corn flakes in the mixing tank 1, reducing manual intervention and improving the discharge efficiency of corn flakes. The cover 2 supports the stirring shaft 24, so that the gravity presses on the cover 2 to protect the driving device of the stirring part.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 In this embodiment, the peripheral wall of the mixing tank 1 is provided with lugs 12, and the bottom of the lugs 12 is provided with a hydraulic cylinder 13. The output rod 131 of the hydraulic cylinder 13 can pass through the lugs 12 and extend upward. The top of the output rod 131 is connected to the bottom of the upper cover 2. The lugs 12 facilitate the installation of the hydraulic cylinder 13. The hydraulic cylinder 13 can lift the upper cover 2, causing the upper cover 2 to move upward. The top of the upper cover 2 is provided with a motor frame 21, and a reduction motor 22 is installed on the top of the motor frame 21. The motor frame 21 includes a heightening frame 211, a circular plate 241 is located inside the heightening frame 211, and a heightening column 212 is provided on the top of the heightening frame 211. The top of 212 is provided with a motor mounting plate 213, and the geared motor 22 is located on the top of the motor mounting plate 213. The motor frame 21 is used to avoid the circular plate 241, so that the circular plate 241 can be placed above the upper cover 2, and the upper cover 2 supports the circular plate 241. The top of the upper cover 2 is provided with an annular groove 1, and the bottom of the circular plate 241 is provided with an annular groove 2 corresponding to the position of the annular groove 1. The annular groove 1 and the annular groove 2 together cover the thrust ball bearing 242. The cooperation of the annular groove 1 and the annular groove 2 limits the thrust ball bearing 242 and prevents the thrust ball bearing 242 from sliding relative to the upper cover 2.

[0024] Please see Figure 2 - Figure 5In this embodiment, a limiting ring 243 is provided on the side wall below the stirring shaft 24. A plug 26 is inserted into the bottom of the limiting ring 243. The outer diameter of the plug 26 can be interference-fitted with the inner diameter of the discharge pipe 14. The limiting ring 243 blocks the plug 26, preventing it from moving upward along the stirring shaft 24 and failing to fit with the inner diameter of the discharge pipe 14. The interference fit between the plug 26 and the inner diameter of the discharge pipe 14 reduces leakage of corn flakes and powder from the mixing tank 1 when the discharge pipe 14 is closed. The bottom of the plug 26 is provided with a relief opening 261, and a screw cap 244 is provided inside the relief opening 261. A stud is provided on the top of the screw cap 244, and a screw hole corresponding to the stud is provided on the bottom of the stirring shaft 24. The screw cap 244 supports the bottom of the plug 26, so that the plug 26 can be lifted simultaneously when the stirring shaft 24 moves upward. The stirring fins 25 are wrapped with... The mixing tank 1 includes a first stirring rod 251 extending radially along the stirring shaft 24. At the bottom of the first stirring rod 251, along the direction away from the axis of the stirring shaft 24, there are three downwardly protruding stirring rods: a second stirring rod 252, a third stirring rod 253, and a fourth stirring rod 254. The height of the second stirring rod 252 is higher than that of the third stirring rod 253, and the height of the third stirring rod 253 is higher than that of the fourth stirring rod 254. The bottom edge of the inner cavity of the mixing tank 1 is curved. The corn flakes in the inner cavity of the mixing tank 1 slide down to the discharge pipe 14 under gravity. The curved bottom edge of the inner cavity of the mixing tank 1 makes it easier for the corn flakes to slide down to the discharge pipe 14 during discharge, reducing the trouble of manual discharge. The height of the second stirring rod 252 is higher than that of the third stirring rod 253, and the height of the third stirring rod 253 is higher than that of the fourth stirring rod 254, which makes it easier for the stirring wings 25 to mix thoroughly with the corn flakes in the mixing tank 1.

[0025] During operation, corn chips cooked by frying or other methods are poured into the mixing tank 1 through the inlet 23. Then, an appropriate amount of powder is poured into the inlet 23. The output shaft of the geared motor 22 is then driven to rotate. The output shaft of the geared motor 22 is connected to the circular plate 241, which in turn drives the stirring shaft 24 to rotate. The stirring blades 25 on the periphery of the stirring shaft 24 then rotate around the axis of the stirring shaft 24, thus stirring the corn chips in the mixing tank 1. After stirring for a certain period of time, the corn chips and powder are fully mixed. Finally, a receiving box 3 is placed at the bottom of the discharge pipe 14. All hydraulic cylinders 13 are opened together. The output rod 131 of the hydraulic cylinder 13 lifts the upper cover 2. The upper cover 2 supports the circular plate 241 and moves it upward, driving the stirring shaft 24 to move upward. At this time, the chamfer 262 of the plug 26 disengages from the inner diameter of the discharge pipe 14. The corn flakes in the mixing tank 1 slide down the curved slope inside the mixing tank 1 to the discharge pipe 14 under the action of gravity, and then fall from the discharge pipe 14 into the receiving box 3. This completes the processing of corn flakes. The hydraulic cylinder 13, the reduction motor 22 and the related oil circuit and electrical control circuit are existing technologies, and their working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0026] Through the above steps, the stirring blades 25 of the stirring unit can stir the corn flakes in the stirring tank 1, ensuring thorough mixing. The discharge pipe 14 of the discharge unit facilitates the discharge of corn flakes from the stirring tank 1, reducing manual intervention and improving the discharge efficiency. The upper cover 2 supports the stirring shaft 24, allowing gravity to press down on the upper cover 2 to protect the driving device of the stirring unit. This solves the problem in existing corn flake processing equipment where the first hinge needs to be manually flipped to rotate the cover, making material removal inconvenient and requiring significant manpower. Furthermore, the excessive weight of the cover increases production risks during flipping.
