Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing machinery technology, and in particular to a sauce mixing, stirring and filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the sauce production industry, efficient and stable filling equipment is crucial for ensuring product quality and improving production efficiency. As market demand for sauce products continues to grow, the performance requirements for filling equipment are becoming increasingly stringent.

[0003] Traditional equipment often uses a single stirring blade or a simple stirring structure, which cannot meet the mixing requirements of complex sauces. Furthermore, the design of the discharge pipe does not fully consider the characteristics of the sauces and lacks effective anti-clogging and unblocking mechanisms. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of sauce mixing and filling equipment to solve the problems of uneven mixing, easy accumulation and clogging, and low discharge and filling efficiency in traditional equipment.

[0004] For example, in a sauce filling device disclosed in patent CN210734548U, although the mixing and filling of sauces are achieved to a certain extent, it is difficult to achieve a highly uniform state in the sauce mixing stage. Sauces have complex compositions, containing various particles, powders, and liquid components of different viscosities. Ordinary stirring structures cannot adequately break up the agglomerates between materials, causing sauces to easily accumulate in the mixing chamber, with some materials remaining trapped in corners and unable to participate in the mixing effectively. This uneven mixing directly affects the smoothness of subsequent discharge, easily causing blockages in the discharge pipes. After prolonged operation, the accumulated sauce dries and hardens in the pipes, further exacerbating the blockage, leading to a significant reduction in discharge efficiency, forcing the filling process to be interrupted, and severely impacting the overall production rhythm. Moreover, the blockage problem not only affects efficiency, but frequent pipe cleaning also increases equipment maintenance costs and labor intensity, and the cleaning process can easily introduce impurities, affecting the quality of the sauce. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a sauce mixing and filling machine to solve the problem that sauces are difficult to mix evenly in traditional sauce mixing and filling equipment, which leads to easy accumulation and blockage, resulting in low discharge and filling efficiency.

[0006] This utility model provides a sauce mixing and filling machine, comprising: a mixing mechanism including a mixing chamber and a first stirring element disposed within the mixing chamber, wherein the bottom of the mixing chamber is provided with a first discharge port; a filling mechanism including a discharge pipe communicating with the first discharge port, wherein the discharge pipe is equipped with a discharge valve; the filling mechanism further includes a feeding tray with multiple filling stations arranged circumferentially, the feeding tray rotating intermittently, and stopping when the filling station moves below the discharge pipe to perform filling; wherein an auxiliary discharge mechanism is provided between the mixing mechanism and the filling mechanism, the mixing mechanism communicating with the first discharge port and having a spiral propeller disposed within the discharge cylinder; the discharge cylinder is provided with a second inlet for filling the bottles at the filling stations.

[0007] Preferably, the filling mechanism also includes a feeding assembly and a discharging assembly for the entry and exit of the bottles; both the feeding assembly and the discharging assembly convey the bottles via a conveyor belt, and both sides of the conveyor belt are provided with limiting rods.

[0008] Preferably, a limiting plate is also provided on the outer side of the feeding tray, and the limiting plate is provided in an open manner at the bottle inlet and outlet of the filling mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, a support rod is provided between the bottle inlet and outlet of the filling mechanism; the top of the support rod is provided with a feeding lever and a discharging lever respectively; the feeding lever is located on one side of the feeding assembly, and the discharging lever is located on the side close to the discharging assembly.

[0010] Preferably, the feeding tray is driven by a grooved wheel mechanism and rotates intermittently.

[0011] Preferably, the mixing mechanism includes a stirring section; the stirring section includes a stirring shaft, a first stirring element disposed on the stirring shaft, and a second stirring element disposed at the bottom of the stirring shaft.

[0012] Preferably, the first discharge port is arranged in an inverted cone shape, and the second stirring component is adapted to the first discharge port and disposed in the first discharge port.

[0013] Preferably, the first stirring element includes connecting rods spaced apart on the stirring shaft, and stirring rods arranged by at least two of the connecting rods.

[0014] Preferably, the connecting rod has a reinforcing part at the end near the end connected to the stirring shaft and the stirring rod.

[0015] Preferably, the top of the mixing chamber is provided with a feed inlet extending away from the end of the mixing chamber, and the feed inlet at the top of the mixing chamber can be opened or closed by a top cover.

[0016] The sauce mixing, stirring, and filling machine provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] This invention effectively overcomes the problems of uneven mixing, frequent clogging, and low efficiency of traditional equipment through the structural design of the sauce mixing and filling machine. The double-layered mixing components inside the mixing chamber create an "upper stirring, lower pushing" circulating flow field, which, combined with the three-dimensional stirring of the mixing rod, improves the uniformity of sauce mixing and fundamentally avoids the risk of accumulation caused by localized clumping. The screw propeller of the auxiliary discharge mechanism replaces traditional gravity discharge with forced conveying, improving the discharge efficiency of high-viscosity sauces while reducing the frequency of pipe blockage and the number of times the equipment needs to be shut down for cleaning. This improves overall filling efficiency, significantly shortens the production cycle, reduces maintenance costs, and provides an efficient and stable solution for automated sauce production.
