Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soy sauce processing, and in particular to a soy sauce processing mixing and blending tank. Background Technology
[0002] Soy sauce processing uses soybeans, wheat, and other raw materials as raw materials. Through processes such as koji making and fermentation, a basic soy sauce mash is produced. This mash is then extracted and filtered to obtain crude soy sauce, which subsequently enters the blending stage. In this stage, the crude soy sauce is stirred and blended with various ingredients (such as different batches of crude soy sauce, salt, sugar, and spices) in a blending tank. By precisely controlling the proportions and mixing time, the flavor, color, and saltiness of the soy sauce are balanced, impurities are removed, and quality is stabilized, ultimately resulting in a finished soy sauce that meets standards. The blending tank is a crucial step in achieving consistent flavor and batch stability, directly impacting the product's market acceptance.
[0003] However, the current soy sauce processing mixing tanks have the following defects: First, the solid raw materials are not premixed, and when they are directly mixed with the liquid raw materials, the pressure is high and the efficiency is low, which easily leads to uneven mixing. Second, they lack a self-cleaning structure and the tank is inconvenient to open, which makes cleaning the inside of the tank difficult and inefficient.
[0004] In response to this technical problem, this application proposes a soy sauce processing mixing and blending tank. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a soy sauce processing mixing and blending tank. This tank is designed to mix solid raw materials for pre-mixing, reducing pressure during subsequent mixing with liquid raw materials and improving the efficiency of subsequent mixing. Furthermore, two meshing gears cause the first stirring rod to rotate, driving the rotating tube to thoroughly clean the inside of the tank. The cover plate is also easy to disassemble and install, facilitating cleaning of the tank interior and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A soy sauce processing and mixing tank includes a tank body, a tank lid fixedly connected to the top side of the tank body, a first stirring rod rotatably connected to the middle of the tank lid, a first stirring blade fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first stirring rod, a premixing tank fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tank body, a top cover fixedly connected to the top side of the premixing tank, a second stirring rod rotatably connected to the middle of the top cover, a plurality of second stirring blades fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second stirring rod, a driving assembly provided on the top side of the tank lid to drive the first and second stirring rods to rotate simultaneously, a cover plate abutting against the right side of the top side of the tank body, a fixing assembly provided on the top side of the tank lid to fix the tank lid to the top side of the tank body, and a cleaning assembly provided inside the cover plate to clean the inside of the tank body.
[0008] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes pulleys fixedly connected to the top ends of the first and second stirring rods, the two pulleys being connected by a belt, and a protective shell fixedly connected between the can lid and the top cover, with the pulleys located inside the protective shell.

[0010] Furthermore, the fixing assembly includes two fixing grooves fixedly connected to the top side of the can lid, with a plug rod slidably connected inside the fixing groove and a plug ring slidably connected inside the cover plate.
[0011] Furthermore, one end of the insertion rod is inserted into the inside of the insertion ring, and the other end of the insertion rod is rotatably connected to a metal ring. A limiting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the metal ring, and a limiting groove is opened on one side of the fixing groove. The limiting rod is engaged inside the limiting groove.
[0012] Furthermore, an insert plate is slidably connected inside the limiting groove, one side of the insert plate is inserted into the inside of the limiting groove, and the insert plate is located above the limiting rod.
[0013] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly includes a rotating tube rotatably connected to the middle of the cover plate, a nozzle fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating tube, a ring fixedly connected to the top side of the cover plate, a rotating ring fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating tube, and gears fixedly connected to the outer walls of the first stirring rod and the rotating tube, with the two gears meshing with each other, one of the gears located inside the lid and the remaining gear located inside the cover plate.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4One embodiment of this utility model is a soy sauce processing and mixing tank, including a tank body 1, a tank cover 2 fixedly connected to the top side of the tank body 1, a first stirring rod 15 rotatably connected to the middle of the tank cover 2, and a first stirring blade 16 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first stirring rod 15. The first stirring rod 15 drives the first stirring blade 16 to rotate inside the tank body 1, thereby mixing the raw materials. A premixing tank 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the tank body 1. A top cover 4 is fixedly connected to the top side of the premixing tank 3. A second stirring rod 18 is rotatably connected to the middle end of the top cover 4. Multiple second stirring blades 19 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second stirring rod 18. Solid raw materials, such as salt and monosodium glutamate, are placed in the premixing tank 3. The second stirring rod 18 drives the second stirring blades 19 to mix the solid raw materials inside, thereby performing premixing. This prevents the direct addition of large quantities of liquid base materials, which may easily form "clumps" or settle due to density differences. The stirring device needs to run at high speed for a long time to break them up, reducing the pressure when mixing with liquid raw materials later and improving the efficiency of subsequent mixing. A cover plate 8 abuts against the right side of the top of the tank body 1. The top ends of the first stirring rod 15 and the second stirring rod 18 are both fixedly connected to pulleys 22, which are connected by a belt. A protective shell 5 is fixedly connected between the tank cover 2 and the top cover 4. The pulleys 22 are located inside the protective shell 5. A motor 6 is installed on the top side of the protective shell 5. The top end of the first stirring rod 15 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 6. The motor 6 drives the first stirring rod 15 to rotate, and the two pulleys 22 connected by a belt drive the second stirring rod 18 to rotate, so that the device can complete the mixing of raw materials and solid raw materials using a single drive source. The bottom side of the premix tank 3 is fixedly connected to the conveying pipe 17. The top cover 4 and the cover plate 8 are both provided with feeding ports. The solid raw materials and liquid raw materials are added to the premix tank 3 and the tank body 1 respectively through the feeding ports. The bottom side of the tank body 1 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 27. The solid raw materials are transported to the tank body 1 through the conveying pipe 17 and the discharge pipe 27, and the mixed raw materials are discharged from the tank body 1. Valves are provided in the conveying pipe 17 and the discharge pipe 27 to control their opening and closing.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The top side of the can lid 2 is fixedly connected to two fixing grooves 11. A rod 10 is slidably connected inside the fixing groove 11. A ring 9 is slidably connected inside the cover plate 8. One end of the rod 10 is inserted into the ring 9, and the other end of the rod 10 is rotatably connected to a metal ring 12. A limiting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the metal ring 12. A limiting groove is formed on one side of the fixing groove 11, and the limiting rod 14 engages inside the limiting groove. A plate 13 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove, and one side of the plate 13 is inserted into the limiting groove. The plate 13 is located within the limiting rod. Above 14, the sliding ring 9 is inserted into the tank body 1 to prevent the cover plate 8 from moving horizontally on the tank body 1. The sliding rod 10 is inserted into the ring 9 to prevent the ring 9 from moving up and down, thus preventing the cover plate 8 from moving up and down, and completely fixing the cover plate 8 to the tank body 1. The metal ring 12 is rotated to rotate the limiting rod 14 into the limiting groove, thereby fixing the rod 10 and preventing it from detaching from the insert plate 13. The insert plate 13 is then slid to insert into the limiting groove to stop the limiting rod 14 in the limiting groove and prevent it from coming out. (Refer to...) Figures 4-6 A rotating tube 20 is rotatably connected to the middle of the cover plate 8. A nozzle 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating tube 20. A ring 24 is fixedly connected to the top side of the cover plate 8. A rotating ring 25 is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating tube 20. Gears 28 are fixedly connected to the outer walls of both the first stirring rod 15 and the rotating tube 20. The two gears 28 mesh with each other. One gear 28 is located inside the lid 2, and the other gear 28 is located inside the cover plate 8. A convex ring 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the ring 24. The convex ring 26 is rotatably connected inside the rotating ring 25. The convex ring 26 and... A sealing ring is provided between the rotating rings 25. A water supply pipe 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the circular ring 24. The rotating pipe 20 can rotate on the water supply pipe 23 by allowing the convex ring 26 to rotate inside the rotating ring 25 without affecting the normal water flow. Two meshing gears 28 cause the rotating pipe 20 to rotate when the first stirring rod 15 rotates. An observation window is provided on the cover plate 8 at the position of the gear 28 to facilitate the two gears 28 to mesh when the cover plate 8 is installed. A hose 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the water supply pipe 23. The hose 7 is connected to a water supply device, which consists of a water storage tank and a water pump. The water supply device delivers water to the hose 7, which then delivers the water through the water supply pipe 23 and the rotating pipe 20 to the nozzle 21, allowing the nozzle 21 to clean the inside of the tank 1.
[0030] Working principle: First, solid raw materials are conveyed into tank 1 through conveying pipe 17 and discharging pipe 27. Then, motor 6 is started, driving the first stirring rod 15 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the second stirring rod 18 to rotate via two belt-connected pulleys 22. The first stirring rod 15 drives the first stirring blade 16 to rotate inside tank 1, thus mixing the raw materials. The second stirring rod 18 then drives the second stirring blade 19 to mix the fixed raw materials inside, thus performing pre-mixing. The solid raw materials are then conveyed into tank 1 through conveying pipe 17 for further mixing. After mixing, the mixed raw materials are discharged from tank 1 through discharging pipe 27. When tank 1 needs cleaning, water is conveyed to hose 7 through a water supply device. Hose 7 then delivers water through water supply pipe 23 and rotating pipe 20 to nozzle 21, allowing the nozzle 21 to spray water onto the tank. The interior of tank 1 is cleaned. Simultaneously, two meshing gears 28 cause the first stirring rod 15 to rotate, driving the rotating tube 20 to rotate, thus thoroughly cleaning the interior of tank 1. Then, the sliding insert plate 13 is disengaged from the limiting groove to release the limiting rod 14. Next, the metal ring 12 is rotated to disengage the limiting rod 14 from the limiting groove. Then, the insert rod 10 is slid away from the insert ring 9, and then the insert ring 9 is slid upwards to disengage from tank 1. Then, the cover plate 8 is slid to the right a distance equal to the distance between the nozzle 21 and the inner wall of tank 1, to prevent the nozzle 21 from impacting tank 1. Finally, the cover plate 8 is moved upwards to remove the entire cover plate from tank 1, allowing for cleaning of the nozzle 21 and further cleaning of the interior of tank 1. This facilitates cleaning of tank 1 and nozzle 21 by the staff. The installation process for the cover plate 8 is the reverse of the above and will not be described further here.
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
