Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flavor mixing technology, specifically a mixing device for preparing methyl butyrate edible flavor. Background Technology
[0002] Methyl butyrate flavoring is a food additive with methyl butyrate as the main flavor component. Its aroma combines a fresh fruity scent with a soft ester sweetness, often presenting a bright fruity aroma similar to apple, pineapple or banana, with a slight creamy roundness. The raw materials need to be mixed during its processing.
[0003] Patent publication number "CN222093178U" discloses "a fragrance and flavor mixing device, including a mixing barrel. Four sets of support legs are welded in a rectangular array around the bottom of the mixing barrel. A barrel lid is threaded onto the top surface of the mixing barrel. An installation groove is formed on one side of the top surface of the barrel lid. An exhaust assembly is threaded onto the top surface of the installation groove via screws. A motor housing is threaded onto the center of the top surface of the barrel lid via screws. A servo motor is fixedly connected inside the motor housing. A transmission rod is splined to the output end of the servo motor." This fragrance and flavor mixing device, through the arrangement of the mixing components, places the fragrance and flavor inside the mixing barrel. When an external power source is connected, the servo motor is energized, driving the transmission rod to rotate, which in turn drives the scraper rod and mixing rod to rotate. The scraper rod scrapes off the material adhering to the inner wall of the mixing barrel, preventing waste and difficulty in cleaning. The mixing rod thoroughly mixes and stirs the fragrance and flavor.
[0004] In the aforementioned patent, when mixing the internal spices using a stirring rod, the stirring rod can only mix the spices near the stirring rod in the horizontal direction. For spices in the upper and lower positions, the stirring rod cannot effectively mix spices in different positions quickly, resulting in low mixing efficiency.
[0005] To address these issues, this invention provides a mixing device for preparing methyl butyrate edible flavoring. Utility Model Content

A small bevel gear is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating cylinder. A locking rod is fixedly installed on the outer side of the upper half of the stirring rod, and the stirring rod and the locking rod are movably inserted into the small bevel gear.
[0008] Preferably, a support rod is fixedly installed on the top of the mixing cylinder, a first motor is fixedly installed on the top of the support rod, and a large bevel gear is fixedly installed on the output end of the first motor, wherein the large bevel gear meshes with a small bevel gear.

[0013] Beneficial effects
[0014] This invention provides a mixing device for preparing methyl butyrate food flavoring. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. This mixing device for the preparation of methyl butyrate flavoring uses a rotating stirring rod to drive the stirring blades for horizontal stirring. At the same time, the stirring rod rotates and drives the stirring blades to move horizontally. With the help of the lever on the large bevel gear and the swing frame, the stirring blades can move back and forth, so that the stirring blades can act on the surrounding raw materials and stir the raw materials at different heights in the mixing drum. This solves the problem that traditional devices can only perform horizontal mixing and the mixing of raw materials in the upper and lower layers is slow. It greatly shortens the mixing time and improves the uniformity of flavoring raw material mixing.
[0016] 2. The mixing device for the preparation of methyl butyrate edible flavoring has a second motor driving a scraper to rotate along the inner wall of the feeding hopper, which can promptly clean the raw materials adhering to the hopper wall, avoiding feeding difficulties or waste caused by raw material adhesion. Compared with the traditional feeding structure, this design ensures that all raw materials can smoothly enter the mixing drum, which not only improves the raw material utilization rate, but also reduces the workload of subsequent cleaning of the feeding hopper, and improves the overall operating efficiency of the device.

The terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication between two elements. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 5 This application provides a mixing device for preparing methyl butyrate edible flavoring, including a mixing cylinder 1, a mixing component 2 inside the mixing cylinder 1, a feeding component 3 at the top of the mixing cylinder 1, and a discharge valve 4 fixedly installed at the bottom of the mixing cylinder 1. The mixing component 2 includes a stirring rod 21, a stirring blade 22 fixedly installed on the outside of the stirring rod 21, the stirring rod 21 movably penetrating through the top wall of the mixing cylinder 1, a rotating cylinder 25 rotatably connected to the top of the mixing cylinder 1, the rotating cylinder 25 being located outside the stirring rod 21, a small bevel gear 24 fixedly installed on the top of the rotating cylinder 25, and a locking rod 28 fixedly installed on the outer side of the upper half of the stirring rod 21. The stirring rod 21 and the locking rod 28 are movably inserted into the small bevel gear 24.
[0027] A support rod 27 is fixedly installed on the top of the mixing cylinder 1. A first motor 26 is fixedly installed on the top of the support rod 27. A large bevel gear 23 is fixedly installed on the output end of the first motor 26. The large bevel gear 23 meshes with the small bevel gear 24. A lever 210 is fixedly installed on the end face of the large bevel gear 23. A swing frame 29 is fixedly installed on the top of the stirring rod 21. The lever 210 is inserted into and slides left and right inside the swing frame 29.
[0028] In this embodiment, after the raw materials enter the mixing drum 1, the first motor 26 is started and fixed to the top of the mixing drum 1 by the support rod 27. Its output end drives the large bevel gear 23 to rotate. Since the large bevel gear 23 and the small bevel gear 24 mesh with each other, they will drive the small bevel gear 24 and the rotating drum 25 fixed thereto to rotate synchronously. When the small bevel gear 24 rotates, it drives the stirring rod 21 to rotate through the cooperation of its internal mechanism with the locking rod 28 on the stirring rod 21. This causes the stirring blades 22 on the outside of the stirring rod 21 to stir and mix the raw materials in the mixing drum 1 in a horizontal direction.
[0029] Meanwhile, the lever 210 on the end face of the large bevel gear 23 rotates with the large bevel gear 23. Since the lever 210 is inserted into the swing frame 29 at the top of the stirring rod 21, during the circular motion of the lever 210, it will push the swing frame 29 to drive the stirring rod 21 to reciprocate up and down along its own axis. This motion enables the stirring blade 22 to move up and down while rotating and stirring, which can stir the raw materials at different heights in the mixing cylinder 1. This breaks the limitation of traditional stirring which can only mix in the horizontal direction, and greatly improves the mixing efficiency of raw materials in the upper and lower directions.
[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 5 In one aspect of this embodiment, the feeding assembly 3 includes a feeding hopper 31, which is fixedly installed on the top of the mixing cylinder 1 and communicates with the interior of the mixing cylinder 1. A horizontal plate 32 is fixedly installed on the top of the feeding hopper 31, and a rotating rod 34 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the horizontal plate 32. A connecting rod 35 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating rod 34, and a scraper 36 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the connecting rod 35. The scraper 36 is attached to the inner wall of the feeding hopper 31. A second motor 33 is fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate 32, and the output end of the second motor 33 moves through the interior of the horizontal plate 32 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 34.
[0031] In this embodiment, during the mixing operation, the raw materials are first added through the feeding component 3. After the raw materials are poured into the feeding hopper 31, the second motor 33 is started. Its output end drives the rotating rod 34 to rotate, and the connecting rod 35 on the outside of the rotating rod 34 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the scraper 36 to slide along the inner wall of the feeding hopper 31. This can effectively prevent the raw materials from sticking to the hopper wall and ensure that the raw materials fall smoothly into the mixing cylinder 1.
[0032] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0033] Working principle: When performing mixing operations, the raw materials are first added through the feeding component 3. After the raw materials are poured into the feeding hopper 31, the second motor 33 is started. Its output end drives the rotating rod 34 to rotate. The connecting rod 35 on the outside of the rotating rod 34 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the scraper 36 to slide along the inner wall of the feeding hopper 31. This can effectively prevent the raw materials from sticking to the hopper wall and ensure that the raw materials fall smoothly into the mixing cylinder 1.
[0034] After the raw materials enter the mixing drum 1, the first motor 26 is started and fixed to the top of the mixing drum 1 by the support rod 27. Its output end drives the large bevel gear 23 to rotate. Since the large bevel gear 23 and the small bevel gear 24 mesh with each other, they will drive the small bevel gear 24 and the rotating drum 25 fixed thereto to rotate synchronously. When the small bevel gear 24 rotates, it drives the stirring rod 21 to rotate through the cooperation of its internal mechanism with the locking rod 28 on the stirring rod 21. This causes the stirring blades 22 on the outside of the stirring rod 21 to stir and mix the raw materials in the mixing drum 1 in a horizontal direction.
[0035] Meanwhile, the lever 210 on the end face of the large bevel gear 23 rotates with the large bevel gear 23. Since the lever 210 is inserted into the swing frame 29 at the top of the stirring rod 21, during the circular motion of the lever 210, it will push the swing frame 29 to drive the stirring rod 21 to reciprocate up and down along its own axis. This motion enables the stirring blade 22 to move up and down while rotating and stirring, which can stir the raw materials at different heights in the mixing cylinder 1. This breaks the limitation of traditional stirring which can only mix in the horizontal direction, and greatly improves the mixing efficiency of raw materials in the upper and lower directions.
