Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a material mixer for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, material mixing is the core step to ensure uniform product texture and stable flavor. As a key piece of equipment to achieve this process, the development of material mixers is closely linked to the upgrading of the food industry. Food processing involves a variety of material forms, from liquid (such as sauces and juices), semi-solid (such as dough and cream) to solid particles (such as fillings and mixed grains), and has extremely high requirements for hygiene standards, mixing efficiency, and preservation of material characteristics.

[0003] Existing technology patent document CN211514300U discloses a stirring device for food processing, comprising: a base; a frame mounted on the base; a support horizontally positioned at the top of the frame; a first motor and a stirring tank, wherein the first motor is disposed in the base, and the stirring tank is vertically mounted on the base and connected to the rotating shaft of the first motor; a second motor mounted on the support and positioned above the stirring tank; and a stirrer, one end of which is connected to the rotating shaft of the second motor, and the other end of which extends into the stirring tank; the first motor drives the stirring tank to rotate and / or the second motor drives the stirrer to rotate, thereby rapidly stirring the food materials placed in the stirring tank. In this invention, the stirrer and the stirring tank rotate simultaneously, increasing the weight of materials stirred at one time and adapting to large-scale production in factories.

[0004] The aforementioned existing technology can increase the weight of materials mixed at one time, but it lacks an effective temperature regulation mechanism and cannot accurately control the mixing environment temperature according to the material characteristics. As a result, the mixing effect is often affected by unsuitable temperature, which in turn affects the quality of food processing. Furthermore, when operating on a large scale, it is necessary to clean the mixing tank when changing to mix different materials, which takes a lot of time and causes the equipment to be shut down for a long time, seriously affecting the efficiency of operation. It is difficult to meet the requirements of continuous and efficient production in the food processing industry, and it is not convenient to meet people's needs, thus having low practicality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a material mixer for food processing, which solves the problems of poor mixing effect due to unsuitable material temperature, and long downtime and low operating efficiency caused by inconvenient replacement of the mixing tank.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a material mixer for food processing, including a placement plate. A device frame is fixedly connected to the top right side of the placement plate. A placement mechanism is provided inside the device frame. A stirring mechanism is provided on the top inner side of the device frame. The placement mechanism includes a liquid storage tank. The liquid storage tank is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the device frame. A liquid pump is fixedly connected inside the liquid storage tank. A diversion pipe is fixedly connected to the output end of the liquid pump. Flexible hoses are fixedly connected to both sides of the other end of the diversion pipe. A circulation pipe is fixedly connected to the top of each flexible hose. An arc plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the circulation pipe. A fixing seat is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the placement plate. A limit component is fixedly connected to the outside of the device frame. A stirring tank is placed on the top inner side of the fixing seat.

[0007] The stirring mechanism includes a hydraulic push rod, which is externally and fixedly connected to the top inner side of the equipment frame. A rotator is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic push rod, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotator. A rotating motor is fixedly connected to the top of the other end of the support plate, and an outer frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other end of the support plate. A fixed gear is fixedly connected to the top inside of the outer frame. A transmission rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating motor, and a turntable is fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission rod. Stirring rods are rotatably connected to both sides inside the turntable, and follower gears are fixedly connected to the top of each stirring rod.

[0008] The outer frame is fixedly connected to a protective net, and the bottom of the transmission rod is fixedly connected to a stop plate.

[0009] The transmission rod is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the outer frame, and the transmission rod is externally rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed gear.

[0010] The fixed gear and the follower gear are meshed with each other, and the turntable is rotatably connected to the inner bottom side of the outer frame.

[0011] The limiting component includes a rotating base, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the equipment frame, and a top frame is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating base.

[0012] The bottom of the top frame is supported on the top of the mixing tank, the adjacent side of the arc plate is supported on the outside of the mixing tank, the outside of both arc plates is rotatably connected to the outside of the equipment frame, and the other ends of the two arc plates are engaged with each other.

[0013] The bottom of the protective net is supported on the top of the top frame, and the bottom of the abutment is supported on the inner bottom side of the mixing tank.

[0014] This utility model relates to a material mixer for food processing.

[0015] 1. In this utility model, by placing the mixing tank on the inner side of the top of the fixed base, the two arc plates are rotated so that their adjacent sides are supported on the outside of the mixing tank and the other ends are engaged with each other, thus ensuring the stable fixation and limiting of the mixing tank and preventing displacement or shaking during the mixing process. The liquid pump in the storage tank works to drive the liquid through the diversion pipe and hose to the circulation pipe, so that the liquid flows in the circulation pipe and acts on the mixing tank through the arc plates, which can accurately regulate the temperature of the mixing tank and ensure that the material is mixed in a suitable temperature environment. This improves the stability and reliability of the material mixing. Moreover, the mixing tank can be disassembled and replaced directly, reducing long-term downtime during equipment use and ensuring that the mixing operation can be carried out efficiently.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, a rotating motor generates power, which drives the transmission rod to rotate. The transmission rod drives the externally fixed turntable to rotate synchronously. Since the stirring rod is rotatably connected to both sides inside the turntable, it moves in a circular motion around the axis of the transmission rod along with the turntable. At the same time, the fixed gear inside the outer frame remains in the same position, and the transmission rod is rotatably connected to it. The follower gear at the top of the stirring rod meshes with the fixed gear. When it moves in a circular motion, the follower gear rotates on its own, driving the stirring rod to rotate. This solves the problem of incomplete mixing and uneven mixing of materials in some areas due to the single mixing method during the mixing process. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a material mixer for food processing, including a placement plate 1. The placement plate 1 serves as the basic load-bearing component of the entire equipment, providing a stable support platform for all components above, ensuring the overall stability of the equipment during operation. A frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the placement plate 1. The frame 2 acts as a framework for connecting and fixing various components, integrating the mixing mechanism 5 and the placement mechanism 3 together. The placement mechanism 3 is provided inside the frame 2. The placement mechanism 3 is used to fix and limit the mixing tank 4, and can realize the circulating cooling and heat preservation functions of the mixing tank 4, ensuring the smooth progress of the mixing process. The mixing mechanism 5 is provided on the top inner side of the frame 2. The mixing mechanism 5 is the core component for realizing material mixing.

[0026] The mounting mechanism 3 includes a liquid storage tank 31, which stores liquid for cooling or heat preservation and provides a medium for the circulation system. The liquid storage tank 31 is externally fixedly connected to the bottom of the equipment frame 2. A liquid pump 32 is fixedly connected inside the liquid storage tank 31. The liquid pump 32 provides power for the circulation of the liquid, drawing out the liquid from the liquid storage tank 31 and delivering it to the diversion pipe 33. The output end of the liquid pump 32 is fixedly connected to the diversion pipe 33, which divides the liquid delivered by the liquid pump 32 into two paths, delivering them to hoses 34 on both sides. The other end of the diversion pipe 33 is fixedly connected to hoses 34 on both sides. The hoses 34 have a certain degree of flexibility to adapt to the rotation of the arc plate 36, ensuring that the liquid can be smoothly delivered from the diversion pipe 33 to the circulation pipe 35. The top of each hose 34 is fixedly connected to the circulation pipe 35. 5. The circulation pipe 35 is a channel for the liquid to circulate within the arc plate 36, which can transfer the temperature of the liquid to the arc plate 36. The arc plate 36 is fixedly connected to the outside of the circulation pipe 35. The arc plate 36 is in contact with the outside of the mixing tank 4, which can apply the temperature transferred by the circulation pipe 35 to the mixing tank 4 to achieve temperature regulation of the mixing tank 4. A fixed seat 37 is fixedly connected to the top inner side of the placement plate 1. The fixed seat 37 can support and initially position the bottom of the mixing tank 4 to prevent the mixing tank 4 from shifting during placement. A limit component 38 is fixedly connected to the outside of the equipment frame 2. The limit component 38 can limit the mixing tank 4 from the top, which, together with the arc plate 36, further enhances the stability of the mixing tank 4. The mixing tank 4 is placed on the top inner side of the fixed seat 37. The mixing tank 4 is a container for material mixing and is used to hold the food materials to be mixed.

[0027] The limiting component 38 includes a rotating base 381, which provides a fulcrum for the rotation of the top frame 382, ​​allowing the top frame 382 to rotate flexibly to limit and release the mixing tank 4. The rotating base 381 is externally fixedly connected to the outside of the equipment frame 2, and the top frame 382 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating base 381. The top frame 382 is supported on the top of the mixing tank 4 by its bottom, which can limit the upward movement or shaking of the mixing tank 4 during the mixing process. The bottom of the top frame 382 is supported on the top of the mixing tank 4, and the adjacent side of the arc plate 36 is supported on the outside of the mixing tank 4. The outside of both arc plates 36 is rotatably connected to the outside of the equipment frame 2, and the other ends of the two arc plates 36 are engaged with each other. The arc plates 36 can clamp the mixing tank 4 from both sides by engaging, and together with the fixed base 37 and the top frame 382, ​​the mixing tank 4 can be fixed in all directions.

[0028] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the mixing mechanism 5 includes a hydraulic push rod 51. The hydraulic push rod 51 can extend and retract to drive the rotary device 52 to move up and down, facilitating the adjustment of the distance between the mixing component and the mixing tank 4 to adapt to different mixing height requirements. The hydraulic push rod 51 is externally fixedly connected to the inner top of the equipment frame 2. The output end of the hydraulic push rod 51 is fixedly connected to the rotary device 52, which can drive the support plate 53 to rotate as a whole, facilitating the rotation of the mixing component out of the mixing tank 4 after mixing, making it convenient to pick up and put down materials. The rotary device 52 is externally fixedly connected to the support plate 53, which serves to connect and support components such as the rotating motor 54 and the outer frame 55, ensuring the stable installation of each component. A rotary motor 54 is fixedly connected to the top of the other end of the support plate 53. The rotary motor 54 provides power for stirring and drives the transmission rod 57 to move through the rotation of the output end. An outer frame 55 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the other end of the support plate 53. The outer frame 55 provides installation space and protection for the internal fixed gear 56 and turntable 58. A fixed gear 56 is fixedly connected to the top inside the outer frame 55. The fixed gear 56 meshes with the follower gear 510. When the turntable 58 rotates, the follower gear 510 drives the stirring rod 59 to rotate, realizing the revolution and rotation of the stirring rod 59. A transmission rod 57 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 54. The transmission rod 57 transmits the power of the rotary motor 54 to the turntable 58, driving the stirring rod 59 to rotate. The turntable 58 rotates, and the transmission rod 57 is externally fixedly connected to the turntable 58. When the turntable 58 rotates, it drives the stirring rods 59 on both sides to perform circular motion, realizing the revolution of the stirring rods 59 and expanding the stirring range. The stirring rods 59 are rotatably connected to both sides inside the turntable 58. The stirring rods 59 can rotate on their own axis while revolving around the revolution, and the material is thoroughly stirred through this dual motion, improving the uniformity of stirring. The top of each stirring rod 59 is fixedly connected to a follower gear 510. The follower gear 510 rotates under the action of the fixed gear 56, thereby driving the stirring rod 59 to rotate on its own axis. A protective net 511 is fixedly connected to the outside of the outer frame 55. The protective net 511 can prevent material from splashing out during the stirring process and can also protect the operator. For safety and to prevent hands from contacting rotating parts, a support plate 512 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transmission rod 57. The support plate 512 supports the bottom inside of the mixing tank 4 during stirring, preventing the mixing tank 4 from shaking due to the movement of internal materials and enhancing the stability of the mixing tank 4. The external part of the transmission rod 57 is rotatably connected to the inside of the outer frame 55, and the external part of the transmission rod 57 is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed gear 56. The external part of the fixed gear 56 is meshed with the external part of the follower gear 510. The external part of the turntable 58 is rotatably connected to the bottom inside of the outer frame 55. The bottom of the protective net 511 is supported on the top of the top frame 382, ​​and the bottom of the support plate 512 is supported on the bottom inside of the mixing tank 4.

[0029] Working principle: During operation, the mixing tank 4 is first placed on the inner side of the top of the fixed base 37. The two arc plates 36 are rotated so that their adjacent sides are supported on the outside of the mixing tank 4, and the other ends of the two arc plates 36 are engaged with each other. Then, the top frame 382 is rotated through the rotating base 381 so that the bottom of the top frame 382 is supported on the top of the mixing tank 4, thus completing the fixing and limiting of the mixing tank 4. The liquid pump 32 in the liquid storage tank 31 works, and the liquid is transported to the circulation pipe 35 through the diversion pipe 33 and the hose 34. The liquid flows in the circulation pipe 35 and acts on the mixing tank 4 through the arc plate 36 to achieve temperature regulation.

[0030] Subsequently, the hydraulic push rod 51 pushes the rotor 52 downward, causing the stirring rod 59 and the abutment plate 512 to enter the mixing tank 4. The bottom of the abutment plate 512 is supported on the bottom side inside the mixing tank 4, and the bottom of the protective net 511 is supported on the top of the top frame 382. The rotating motor 54 drives the transmission rod 57 to rotate, and the transmission rod 57 drives the turntable 58 to rotate. The turntable 58 drives the stirring rods 59 on both sides to make circular motion. At the same time, because the fixed gear 56 meshes with the follower gear 510, the follower gear 510 drives the stirring rod 59 to rotate itself, realizing the mixing of materials. After the mixing is completed, the hydraulic push rod 51 drives the rotor 52 to move upward, and the rotor 52 drives the support plate 53 to rotate, so as to pick up and put down materials. The mixing tank 4 can be removed by reversing the operation of the arc plate 36 and the top frame 382.

[0031] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
