[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. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figures 1-4 A convenient and easy-to-clean flavoring mixing container includes a base 12, a U-shaped frame 11 fixed to the top of the base 12 by bolts, rotating holes on both sides of the U-shaped frame 11, rotating rods 2 rotatably connected in the rotating holes by bearings, a container body 1 welded between the two rotating rods 2, the container body 1 is made of 304 stainless steel, and a mixing assembly for mixing raw materials is provided inside the container body 1. The mixing assembly includes a rotating shaft 15, the rotating shaft 15 is rotatably connected to the bottom inner wall of the container body 1 by bearings, and multiple stirring rods 14 are welded to the outside of the rotating shaft 15.
[0024] In this utility model, the top of the tank body 1 is provided with a tank cover 5, the top of the tank cover 5 is welded with a feed pipe, and a valve is provided on the outside of the feed pipe;
[0025] A fixing ring 19 is welded to the top of the outer side of the tank body 1. A sealing gasket 18 is bonded to the top of the fixing ring 19. The sealing gasket 18 can seal the gap between the tank body 1 and the can lid 5 to ensure the sealing of the flavoring material during stirring. The sealing gasket 18 is made of food-grade silicone.
[0026] The top of the can lid 5 is provided with a power assembly for driving the rotating shaft 15 to rotate. The power assembly includes a motor 17. A fixing frame 6 is welded to the top outer wall of the can lid 5. The motor 17 is fixed to the top of the fixing frame 6 by bolts. One end of the output shaft of the motor 17 passes through the fixing frame 6 and is connected to a connecting shaft 16 through a coupling. The bottom end of the connecting shaft 16 passes through the can lid 5 and is welded with an insert 23. A notch 22 is opened on the top of the rotating shaft 15, and the insert 23 is inserted into the notch 22. A gap is left between the bottom of the insert 23 and the notch 22. The rotating shaft 15, the connecting shaft 16 and the insert 23 are made of hardened steel.
[0027] When the motor 17 is started, the motor 17 will drive the connecting shaft 16 to rotate. At this time, since the insert 23 is located in the notch 22, the connecting shaft 16 will drive the rotating shaft 15 to rotate through the insert 23. The rotating shaft 15 will drive the stirring rod 14 to rotate, so that the stirring rod 14 will stir and mix the raw materials in the tank 1.
[0028] In this utility model, both sides of the U-shaped frame 11 are provided with sliding grooves 7, and a slide 8 is slidably connected in the sliding grooves 7. The slide 8 is fixed to the can cover 5. The top of the U-shaped frame 11 is fixed with a hydraulic cylinder 9 by bolts, and one end of the telescopic part of the hydraulic cylinder 9 passes through the U-shaped frame 11 and is fixed to the slide 8.
[0029] Both sides of the U-shaped frame 11 are provided with racks 4 that are fixed to the slide 8. The ends of the two rotating rods 2 in opposite directions are keyed with gears 3, and the gears 3 mesh with the racks 4.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in this utility model, a locking assembly for auxiliary fixing of the tank 1 is provided on the outer side of the rotating rod 2. The locking assembly includes a fixing block 10, which is welded to the outer side of the rotating rod 2. A threaded hole is provided on one side of the fixing block 10, and a screw 21 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. Two insertion holes 20 are provided on both sides of the U-shaped frame 11, and the screw 21 is threadedly connected to the insertion holes 20. When the tank 1 and the tank cover 5 are closed for stirring, the screw 21 is inserted into the insertion hole 20 at the bottom to auxiliaryly fix the tank 1 and prevent it from shaking.
[0031] When the screw 21 is threaded into the upper insertion hole 20, the can body 1 is fixed in an inclined state, reducing the pressure on the gear 3 and rack 4, and reducing the wear of the rack 4 and gear 3;
[0032] When the mixing is complete and discharge is required, turn off the motor 17, then rotate the screw 21. The screw 21 will move through the thread engagement with the threaded hole, disengaging the screw 21 from the insertion hole 20. Then, start the hydraulic cylinder 9 to retract. The hydraulic cylinder 9 will drive the slide 8 to move upward along the slide groove 7. The slide 8 will drive the tank cover 5 to move upward. At the same time, the slide 8 will drive the rack 4 to move upward. The rack 4 will drive the gear 3 to rotate. The gear 3 will drive the rotating rod 2 to rotate. The rotating rod 2 will drive the tank body 1 to rotate. When the tank body 1 rotates until the screw 21 is aligned with another insertion hole 20, the hydraulic cylinder 9 stops working and rotates the screw 21, allowing the screw 21 to enter the other insertion hole 20, thereby fixing the angle of the tank body 1 after rotation.
[0033] The arc between the two sockets 20 located on the same side is greater than 90 degrees. Since the arc between the two sockets 20 is greater than 90 degrees, it can be ensured that the can body 1 is fixed with the opening facing down.
[0034] At this time, since the notch 22 is open and there is a gap between the bottom of the insert block 23 and the notch 22, the insert block 23 will be disengaged from the notch 22 and will not obstruct the movement of the rotating shaft 15, so that the opening of the tank 1 faces downward and the material inside the tank 1 is discharged. At the same time, since the opening of the tank 1 faces downward, the staff can directly use water to rinse and clean the inside of the tank 1, which is convenient for the staff to rinse and clean the inside of the tank 1 and improves the convenience of cleaning the mixing tank.
[0035] In addition, the connecting wires of motor 17 are spring wires, which ensures that the moving motor 17 can work normally.
[0036] In this invention, the four corners of the insert 23 are all beveled, and the cross-section of the notch 22 is an inverted trapezoid with a wider opening and a narrower bottom. The beveled ends of the insert 23 facilitate the insertion of the insert 23 into the notch 22 when the can body 1 and the can lid 5 are closed. The cross-section of the notch 22 is an inverted trapezoid with a wider opening and a narrower bottom. This shape of the notch 22 can guide the insert 23, thus ensuring that the insert 23 can enter the notch 22 even if there is a deviation between the insert 23 and the notch 22.
[0037] In particular, two scraper frames 13 for scraping the inner wall of the tank 1 are fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft 15 by bolts. The rotating shaft 15 will drive the scraper frames 13 to rotate, so that the scraper frames 13 scrape and clean the material on the inner wall of the tank 1, avoiding the material from adhering to the inner wall of the tank 1 and causing material waste.
[0038] Working principle: When stirring is required, motor 17 is started, which drives connecting shaft 16 to rotate. Since insert block 23 is located within notch 22, connecting shaft 16 drives rotating shaft 15 via insert block 23. Rotating shaft 15 drives stirring rod 14 to rotate, causing stirring rod 14 to stir and mix the raw materials in tank 1. Simultaneously, rotating shaft 15 drives scraper 13 to rotate, causing scraper 13 to scrape and clean the material on the inner wall of tank 1, preventing material from adhering to the inner wall and causing waste. When discharging is required after stirring, motor 17 is turned off, and then screw 21 is rotated. Screw 21 moves through thread engagement with threaded hole, disengaging screw 21 from insert hole 20. Then, hydraulic cylinder 9 is activated to retract, causing slide 8 to move along the slide... As the groove 7 moves upward, the slide 8 causes the tank cover 5 to move upward. Simultaneously, the slide 8 causes the rack 4 to move upward, the rack 4 causes the gear 3 to rotate, the gear 3 causes the rotating rod 2 to rotate, and the rotating rod 2 causes the tank body 1 to rotate. This causes the tank cover 5 to move upward while the tank body 1 rotates. At this time, since the notch 22 is open and there is a gap between the bottom of the insert 23 and the notch 22, the insert 23 will disengage from the notch 22 and will not obstruct the movement of the rotating shaft 15. This allows the tank opening of the tank body 1 to face downward, allowing the material inside the tank body 1 to be discharged. At the same time, since the tank opening of the tank body 1 faces downward, the staff can directly use water to rinse and clean the inside of the tank body 1, making it convenient for the staff to clean the inside of the tank body 1 and improving the convenience of cleaning the mixing tank.
[0039] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "connection," and "socketing" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral constructions; they can refer to mechanical or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections via an intermediate medium, or internal connections between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
