[0002] Food seasoning equipment is a mixing device used in the food processing field to evenly attach or mix seasonings to the surface of food or to allow seasonings to penetrate into the interior of food. It is widely used in the production and processing of snack foods such as potato chips, nuts, and puffed foods. Its core function is to use physical actions, such as rotation, stirring, and spraying, to make the seasonings fully contact the food, thereby giving the food a unique flavor.

[0003] Traditional seasoning equipment is mostly designed with a single-station seasoning tank. It can only proceed to the next process after the entire batch of materials has been seasoned. This cannot meet the needs of seasoning multiple flavors. Different flavors have different seasoning times, which leads to poor transitions between seasoning processes and cannot meet the needs of continuous production. In addition, when switching flavors, the entire seasoning tank needs to be cleaned to avoid cross-contamination of flavors, resulting in low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0028] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0029] Example, refer to Figure 1 - Figure 7A continuous seasoning device includes a base 4, an outer frame 6 mounted on the top of the base 4, a support frame 7 rotatably connected to the top of the outer frame 6, and a fixed bucket 1 fixedly connected to the other end of the support frame 7. A synchronous seasoning component 2 is installed in the fixed bucket 1, and the synchronous seasoning component 2 is driven to connect to several seasoning buckets 3. These several seasoning buckets 3 are used to load different batches or flavors of seasonings and potato chips, respectively. Through the driving action of the synchronous seasoning component 2, they are seasoned independently and synchronously. The required seasoning time is recorded according to the characteristics of the seasonings and potato chips. For example, a light flavor requires a short seasoning time, with the seasoning only needing to lightly adhere to the surface of the potato chips; while a spicy flavor requires a longer seasoning time to fully mix the seasoning with the potato chips and allow it to penetrate the interior of the chips. The multiple seasoning buckets 3 allow for the independent removal of some flavors after seasoning and the loading of the next seasoning bucket 3. These buckets, along with the remaining unseasoned seasoning buckets 3, move under the driving action of the synchronous seasoning component 2, seasoning the potato chips inside them respectively. This allows the seasoning process to be continuous, and the different flavors do not interfere with each other.

[0030] The support frame 7 is also equipped with a drive motor 72, model MSMA042A1G. The output end of the drive motor 72 passes through the support frame 7 and is connected to the synchronous seasoning component 2. The drive motor 72 is used to drive the synchronous seasoning component 2 to move, thereby driving the seasoning bucket 3 to move, so that the seasoning in the seasoning bucket 3 is fully mixed with the potato chips, so that the seasoning is evenly attached to the surface of the potato chips, giving the potato chips a unique flavor.

[0031] Furthermore, the support frame 7 is provided with a rotating shaft 71. The two ends of the rotating shaft 71 symmetrically pass through the side wall of the support frame 7 and are rotatably connected to the outer frame 6, so that the support frame 7 can drive the overall fixed bucket 1 and the synchronous seasoning component 2 to make pitching motion around the rotating shaft 71 as the central axis, thereby facilitating the loading and unloading of the seasoning bucket 3 during use.

[0032] Furthermore, an installation plate 61 is installed inside the outer frame 6. A tilting cylinder 62, model SMC MGPM16-50AZ-A93M double-acting cylinder with guide rod, is hinged on the installation plate 61. The output end of the tilting cylinder 62 is rotatably connected to the support frame 7. The tilting cylinder 62 drives the support to move, thereby driving the fixed bucket 1 and the synchronous seasoning component 2 to move. This keeps the opening of the fixed bucket 1 in an upward tilted state during the seasoning process, so that the connection between the seasoning bucket 3 and the synchronous seasoning component 2 remains stable, allowing the seasoning work to proceed normally.

[0033] Furthermore, the synchronous seasoning component 2 includes an inner gear ring 21 fixedly mounted on the bottom wall of the fixed barrel 1 and a sun gear 24 mounted on the axis of the bottom wall of the fixed barrel 1. Several planetary gears 22 are meshed between the sun gear 24 and the inner gear ring 21. The sun gear 24 drives the multiple planetary gears 22 to synchronously revolve around the sun gear 24 and rotate on their own axes, thereby fully tumbling and agitating the potato chips and seasonings loaded inside, ensuring the seasonings are fully adhered to the surface of the potato chips. The output end of the drive motor 72 is connected to the sun gear 24. Through the driving action of the drive motor 72, the sun gear 24 meshes with the multiple planetary gears 22, thereby synchronously driving the multiple planetary gears 22 to move. Wheel frames 2 are connected between the multiple planetary gears 22. 5. Several planetary gears 22 are rotatably connected to the wheel frame 25. A bolt is provided on the central end face of the wheel frame 25. The bolt body passes through the wheel frame 25 and is threadedly connected to the sun gear 24. The central end of the wheel frame 25 is fixed to the sun gear 24 by the bolt and rotates synchronously with the sun gear 24. The wheel frame 25 is rotatably connected to several planetary gears 22 away from its center, thereby driving several planetary gears 22 to revolve synchronously around the sun gear 24, without interfering with the independent rotation of several planetary gears, avoiding transmission jamming. This causes the seasoning bucket 3 to make circular motion in the fixed bucket 1 around the center of the sun gear 24 with the center of the planetary gear 22 as the radius point. At the same time, it is driven to rotate by the corresponding planetary gear 22, so that the potato chips and seasonings are mixed fully.

[0034] Furthermore, a drive shaft 23 is fixedly mounted on the end face of several planetary gears 22. The other end of the drive shaft 23 passes through the wheel frame 25 and is movably connected to the drive shaft 23. The drive shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the wheel frame 25 to drive the seasoning barrel 3 to move. The drive shaft 23 is fixedly connected to the planetary gears 22, so that one end of it passes through the wheel frame 25 and is rotatably connected to the wheel frame 25 to avoid interference during movement.

[0035] Furthermore, the seasoning barrel 3 includes a barrel body 31 and a barrel lid 32 that covers the open end of the barrel body 31. The barrel body 31 is used to hold potato chips and seasonings, and the barrel lid 32 is used to prevent potato chips and seasonings from spilling out during the seasoning process. A connecting shaft 33 is provided inside the barrel body 31 along the central axis. The connecting shaft 33 is provided inside the connecting shaft 33 along its axis and passes through the bottom outer wall of the barrel body 31. The mounting groove 331 is slidably connected to the drive shaft 23. The seasoning barrel 3 is fixedly mounted on the planetary gear 22 by the connecting shaft 33 on its central axis for connection with the drive shaft 23, and then moves under the drive of the sun gear 24.

[0036] Furthermore, guide blocks 231 extend outward from both ends of the drive shaft 23 in the radial direction, and guide grooves 332 corresponding to the guide blocks 231 are provided at both ends of the mounting groove 331 in the radial direction. The guide grooves 332 are slidably connected to the guide blocks 231. When installing the seasoning bucket 3, the guide grooves 332 are aligned with the guide blocks 231, so that the cross section between the mounting groove 331 and the drive shaft 23 coincides, thereby fixing the seasoning bucket 3 to the outside of the drive shaft 23. The drive shaft 23 forms a keyway connection with the guide blocks 231 and the guide grooves 332, so that when the planetary gear 22 is driven to rotate by the sun gear 24, it synchronously drives the seasoning bucket 3 to rotate, thereby causing the potato chips and seasonings inside to tumble and mix.

[0037] Furthermore, a number of stirring shafts 34 are equidistantly connected to the outer periphery of the connecting shaft 33 along its axis. When the seasoning barrel 3 is driven to move, the stirring shafts 34 stir the potato chips and seasonings inside, so that the seasonings are evenly attached to the surface of the potato chips.

[0038] Furthermore, the base 4 is equipped with four sets of casters 5 at its bottom corners, which allows the entire seasoning device to be moved.

[0039] Working principle: Different flavored seasonings and potato chips are separately loaded into each seasoning container 3. The seasoning container 3 is fixed on the drive shaft 23 of the planetary gear 22 by the keyway connection between the guide block 231 and the guide groove 332. The drive motor 72 is started, which drives the sun gear 24 to rotate, causing the planetary gear 22 to revolve around the sun gear 24 and rotate on its own axis. This causes the seasoning container 3 to rotate synchronously, so that the seasonings and potato chips inside the seasoning container 3 are fully turned and mixed. At the same time, the stirring shaft 34 inside the seasoning container 3 plays a passive stirring role during the movement of potato chips and seasonings, promoting the mixing of seasonings and potato chips.

[0040] During the seasoning process, the running time of each seasoning barrel 3 is recorded according to the flavor characteristics. During this period, the flip cylinder 62 is used to keep the support frame 7 at a large angle relative to the horizontal ground, ensuring that the opening of the fixed barrel 1 faces upward and preventing the seasoning from overflowing. When a seasoning barrel 3 finishes seasoning, the flip cylinder 62 drives the support frame 7 to return to a state parallel to the ground, so that the seasoning barrel 3 that has finished seasoning can be removed. At the same time, a new seasoning barrel 3 to be seasoned is installed on the corresponding planetary gear 22. The running cycle of the remaining seasoning barrels 3 is recorded simultaneously to achieve continuous seasoning. The position of the device can be flexibly adjusted by the movable wheel set 5 at the four corners of the base 4, which facilitates the connection between the previous and subsequent processes.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
