Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crushing and anti-clogging technology, and more specifically, to a crushing and anti-clogging device for casein blocks. Background Technology

[0002] Casein is an important protein product with wide applications in food, medicine, and chemical industries. During the production and processing of casein, it is often necessary to crush the casein blocks for subsequent processing.

[0003] Currently available casein block crushing devices are prone to clogging during the crushing process. On one hand, casein blocks vary in size, and larger blocks may get stuck when entering the crushing chamber, affecting the smoothness of feeding. On the other hand, the particle size generated during crushing is uneven, with smaller particles potentially accumulating at the discharge port. Simultaneously, casein tends to adhere to the inner wall of the device during crushing, leading to blockages, reduced crushing efficiency, and increased equipment maintenance costs. Therefore, we propose a casein block crushing anti-clogging device. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, adapt to the needs of reality, and provide a casein block crushing and anti-clogging device to solve the technical problems of casein blocks of different sizes, the possibility that larger blocks may get stuck when entering the crushing chamber, and the fact that casein easily sticks to the inner wall of the device during the crushing process, causing blockage.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a casein block crushing and anti-clogging device, including a mixing tank, a feeding frame disposed on the mixing tank, a crushing component disposed inside the mixing tank, and a storage box disposed below the mixing tank. The crushing component includes a motor, a conical column, and a stirring blade. The conical column is rotatably installed inside the mixing tank. The top of the mixing tank is fixedly connected to the motor. The end of the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the conical column. The stirring blade is annularly sleeved on the outer surface of the conical column.

[0006] Preferably, the conical column is conical in shape, and the stirring blade consists of an upper coarse-crushing blade and a lower fine-crushing blade, with the stirring blade being wider at the top and narrower at the bottom in a spiral downward arrangement.

[0007] Preferably, the upper coarse crushing blade has a spiral rib, the upper coarse crushing blade is elongated, and the upper coarse crushing blade extends spirally around the conical column to form a spiral protrusion structure on the outside of the conical column.

[0008] Preferably, the lower layer of fine shredder blades is spiral-shaped, and the width of the lower layer of fine shredder blades gradually narrows from top to bottom. Several serrations are fixedly connected to the side of the lower layer of fine shredder blades.

[0009] Preferably, the saw teeth are arranged in an oblique triangular pattern, the saw teeth are arranged along the trajectory of the stirring blade, and the direction of the tooth marks of the saw teeth is consistent with the rotation direction of the stirring blade.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the mixing tank is fixedly connected to a feed frame, a fixing rod is fixedly sleeved on the annular outer wall of the mixing tank, a discharge port is opened on the central axis of the bottom of the mixing tank, and the storage box is located below the discharge port.

[0011] Preferably, a spiral guide plate is fixedly connected inside the mixing tank. The spiral guide plate is spirally arranged and forms a continuous spiral line. The spiral guide plate extends circumferentially along the inner wall of the mixing tank, and the overall shape of the spiral guide plate is a gradually downward spiral.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a stirring blade structure, uses the upper coarse crushing blade with spiral rib structure to initially crush large pieces of casein and push the material downwards. The lower fine crushing blade, with its oblique triangular saw teeth, performs secondary crushing while using shearing force to peel off adhering materials, ensuring uniform particle size. The spiral guide plate spirals downwards around the tank wall, continuously scraping off adhering materials from the inner wall to prevent accumulation and blockage. The overall structure achieves step-by-step processing of coarse and fine crushing. Combined with spiral guidance and saw tooth peeling, it effectively solves the problems of uneven particle size and adhesion and blockage, ensuring a smooth crushing process and reducing equipment maintenance costs.

[0014] 2. This utility model also designs a sawtooth structure, which generates a shearing force on the casein block by rotating the sawtooth, tearing the adhesive between the casein block and the stirring blade. The micro-disturbance formed by the sawtooth also destroys the adhesion layer of the casein block, making the casein block easier to detach under the action of centrifugal force. This further solves the problem that the casein block gets stuck in the gap between the stirring blades when the stirring blades are rotating, resulting in uneven stirring.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention relates to a casein block crushing and anti-clogging device, including a mixing tank 1, a feed frame 2 disposed on the mixing tank 1, a crushing component 3 disposed inside the mixing tank 1, and a storage box 5 disposed below the mixing tank 1. The crushing component 3 includes a motor 301, a conical column 302, and a stirring blade 303. The conical column 302 is rotatably installed inside the mixing tank 1. The top of the mixing tank 1 is fixedly connected to the motor 301. The end of the output shaft of the motor 301 is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the conical column 302. The stirring blade 303 is annularly sleeved on the outer surface of the conical column 302.

[0022] This utility model features a stirring blade 303 structure. The upper coarse crushing blade 3031 has spiral ribs for initial crushing and pushing of materials, while the lower fine crushing blade 3032 is equipped with oblique triangular saw teeth 304 for secondary crushing and peeling off adhering materials. The spiral guide plate 6 scrapes off the adhering materials on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, solving the problems of uneven particle size and blockage, and reducing maintenance costs.

[0023] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cone-shaped column 302 is cone-shaped, and the stirring blade 303 is composed of an upper coarse crushing blade 3031 and a lower fine crushing blade 3032. The stirring blade 303 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and is spirally arranged downwards. By setting the stirring blade 303, when the casein block enters the mixing tank 1, the driving motor 301 drives the stirring blade 303 to rotate, crushing the casein block. Since the stirring blade 303 is composed of an upper coarse crushing blade 3031 and a lower fine crushing blade 3032, and the stirring blade 303 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, spiraling downwards with an overall conical shape, the upper coarse crushing blade 3031 on the stirring blade 303 first crushes the casein block. Because the stirring blade 303 is spirally downwards, the crushed casein block moves downwards. When the crushed casein block moves downwards, the lower fine crushing blade 3032 at the bottom of the stirring blade 303 crushes the crushed casein block a second time. This solves the problem of uneven particle size and small particles accumulating at the discharge port 7 and causing blockage when the stirring blade 303 crushes the casein block.

[0024] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4As shown, the upper coarse crushing blade 3031 has spiral ribs and is elongated in shape. It extends spirally around the conical column 302, forming a spiral protrusion structure on the outer side of the column. When the casein block enters the mixing tank 1, the upper coarse crushing blade 3031, with its spiral ribs and elongated shape, effectively crushes the casein block through rotation. The spiral protrusion structure of the upper coarse crushing blade 3031 also causes the crushed casein block to rotate and move downwards.

[0025] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lower fine-crushing blade 3032 is spiral-shaped, and its width gradually narrows from top to bottom. Seven serrations 304 are fixedly connected to the side of the lower fine-crushing blade 3032. When the crushed casein block moves to the lower fine-crushing blade 3032, it rotates and, due to the gradual narrowing of the lower fine-crushing blade 3032 from top to bottom, the crushed casein block is subjected to a second crushing, ensuring that the casein block maintains a uniform volume during crushing. The serrations 304 separate the casein block from the gaps between the multiple stirring blades 303.

[0026] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 4 As shown, the seven serrations 304 are arranged in an oblique triangle, following the trajectory of the stirring blade 303. The direction of the tooth marks of the seven serrations 304 is consistent with the rotation direction of the stirring blade 303. During stirring, casein blocks may adhere to the stirring blade 303. By setting the serrations 304, the rotation of the serrations 304 generates a shearing force on the casein blocks, tearing the adhesion between the material and the stirring blade 303. The micro-disturbances formed by the serrations 304 also disrupt the adhesion layer of the casein blocks, making it easier for the casein blocks to detach under the action of centrifugal force.

[0027] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, a feed frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing tank 1, a fixing rod 4 is fixedly fitted onto the annular outer wall of the mixing tank 1, and a discharge port 7 is opened on the central axis of the bottom of the mixing tank 1. A storage box 5 is located below the discharge port 7. The feed frame 2 facilitates the quick placement of pre-treated casein blocks into the mixing tank 1 by the operator. The fixing rod 4 fixes the running mixing tank 1 to the bottom surface, preventing the mixing tank 1 from tipping over during operation. The discharge port 7 discharges the mixed casein blocks from the mixing tank 1. The storage box 5 collects the casein blocks discharged from the discharge port 7.

[0028] In embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, a spiral guide plate 6 is fixedly connected inside the mixing tank 1. The spiral guide plate 6 is spirally arranged, and its shape is a continuous spiral. The spiral guide plate 6 extends circumferentially along the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, and its overall shape is a gradually downward spiral. When casein blocks are crushed, because the casein blocks themselves contain moisture, they may adhere to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 during crushing. By setting up the spiral guide plate 6, which is spirally arranged and has an overall shape of a gradually downward spiral cone, a circumferential spiral channel is formed, which effectively scrapes off the casein blocks adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1, thus avoiding the casein blocks adhering to the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 and causing blockage.

[0029] Working Principle: This embodiment provides a casein block crushing and anti-clogging device. During use, pre-treated casein blocks are fed into the mixing tank 1 through the feed frame 2. The fixing rod 4 ensures stable operation of the mixing tank 1. The output shaft of the starting motor 301 drives the conical column 302 and the stirring blades 303 to rotate. The stirring blades 303 are conical and spirally downwards, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The upper coarse crushing blades 3031 act as long, spirally convex ribs, spiraling around the conical column 302 to initially crush the casein blocks entering the upper part of the mixing tank 1. The rotational force of the spiral convex structure crushes large pieces of material, and the spiral trajectory pushes the crushed material downwards. When the casein blocks move to the lower part of the stirring blades 303, the spiral ribbon-like structure of the lower fine crushing blades 3032, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, further crushes the casein blocks. The oblique triangular serrations 304 on the side spiral along the stirring trajectory... The blades are arranged downwards with the tooth marks aligned with the rotation direction. During rotation, they generate shear force, tearing the adhesive adhesion between the casein blocks and the stirring blades 303. Simultaneously, micro-disturbance disrupts the adhesion layer, allowing the casein blocks to detach under centrifugal force, ensuring uniform particle size during the fine crushing process. Meanwhile, the spiral guide plate 6 on the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 is a continuous spiral gradually decreasing downward spiral cone shape, forming a surrounding spiral channel with the material movement, continuously scraping away the wet and sticky material adhering to the tank wall, preventing material accumulation and blockage. The uniformly crushed casein blocks, driven by the spiral of the stirring blades 303 and guided by the spiral guide plate 6, move towards the discharge port 7 at the bottom of the mixing tank 1, and finally fall into the storage bin 5 for collection. The entire process effectively solves the problems of uneven crushed particles and blockage through multiple designs such as step-by-step coarse and fine crushing, spiral guidance to prevent adhesion, and serration 304 peeling, achieving efficient crushing and smooth discharge of casein blocks.

Those skilled in the art can readily grasp the spirit of this utility model based on the above embodiments and make different extensions and variations. However, as long as they do not depart from the spirit of this utility model, they are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
