A mixing device for producing a compound sugar

Abstract

This invention provides a mixing device for the production of compound sugars. A higher proportion of various sweetener components are fed into a mixing chamber through a second feed pipe and mixed by a stirring mechanism. Simultaneously, a smaller proportion of each sweetener component is fed into a storage tank through a first feed pipe. The storage tank is then vibrated by a vibrator, causing the sweetener components in the storage tank to continuously vibrate and fall from a screen, gradually mixing with other sweetener components in the mixing chamber. This ensures that the smaller proportions of sweetener components are evenly distributed among the larger proportions, thereby improving the quality of the compound sugar formulation. Furthermore, the inclusion of a vibration damping module allows the guide rod to move up and down along a guide sleeve within the inner cavity during storage tank vibration. A compression spring also supports and buffers the vibration of the storage tank, reducing noise and improving vibration stability.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of compound sugar processing technology, and in particular to a mixing device for the production of compound sugar. Background Technology

[0002] Compound sugars typically refer to mixed sugars made by physically mixing two or more sweeteners, such as natural sugars, sugar alcohols, and high-intensity sweeteners. They work synergistically to overcome the shortcomings of single sweeteners, such as bitterness, high calories, or high glycemic index.

[0003] In existing compound sugar production, it is usually necessary to measure each sweetener individually, store them separately in their respective containers, and then put them into a mixing device for mixing.

[0004] However, due to the significant differences in the proportions of sweet components in different compound sugars, when trace components are mixed with higher proportion components, the trace components are prone to agglomeration and uneven distribution due to the limitations of the feeding sequence and hybrid mixing. This makes it difficult for the trace components to be evenly dispersed in the higher proportion components, which in turn leads to quality problems such as component segregation and local concentration exceeding the standard in the produced compound sugar products. The uniformity is not up to standard, affecting the nutritional uniformity of the compound sugar.

[0005] Therefore, in order to improve the mixing uniformity of the components during the production of compound sugars, it is necessary to provide a mixing device for the production of compound sugars. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the technical problem of insufficient mixing uniformity of components during the production of compound sugars in the existing technology, this utility model provides a mixing device for the production of compound sugars.

The structure is fixedly connected; a compression spring is also sleeved on the guide rod, and the two ends of the compression spring abut against the bottom surface of the fixed sleeve and the top surface of the storage box, respectively; the top surface of the storage box is also provided with several first feed pipes communicating with the inside of the storage box, and the first feed pipes penetrate the can lid and extend to the outside of the can lid; the bottom surface of the storage box is open, and a screen is detachably installed on the opening; the vibrator is installed on the top surface of the storage box to drive the storage box to vibrate so that the screen vibrates and discharges material; several staggered material dispersing columns are also provided inside the first feed pipe; a second feed pipe is also provided on the can lid, and a first rotating shaft is rotatably arranged inside the second feed pipe, and several dispersing plates are provided on the first rotating shaft; a discharge pipe is provided at the bottom of the can body.

[0008] Furthermore, both the first feed pipe and the second feed pipe are equipped with feed hoppers.

[0009] Furthermore, the stirring mechanism includes a drive motor disposed at the bottom of the outer side of the tank and a second rotating shaft disposed in the mixing chamber; one end of the second rotating shaft is connected to the output end of the drive motor, and a plurality of stirring blades are alternately arranged on both sides of the second rotating shaft.

[0010] Furthermore, the stirring blade includes a horizontal support rod and an inclined plate disposed on the horizontal support rod, and the inclined plate is provided with several reinforcing ribs.

[0011] Furthermore, a bottom scraper is provided on one end of the second rotating shaft near the bottom of the mixing chamber, and the bottom of the bottom scraper matches the bottom of the mixing chamber.

[0012] Furthermore, the can lid is provided with several through holes, an elastic telescopic sleeve is installed in the through holes, and the elastic telescopic sleeve is provided with a through hole in the center, through which the first feed pipe passes and extends to the outside of the can lid.

[0013] Furthermore, a solenoid valve is provided on the first feed pipe, the second feed pipe, and the discharge pipe.

[0014] Furthermore, each side of the tank is provided with an air inlet pipe for introducing high-pressure gas, and the inside of the tank is provided with a first air outlet pipe and a second air outlet pipe on each side. The first air outlet pipe and the second air outlet pipe are connected to the corresponding air inlet pipe, and each of the first air outlet pipe and the second air outlet pipe is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes.

[0015] Furthermore, both the first and second air outlet pipes are equipped with air nozzles on their air outlet holes, with the air nozzle of the first air outlet pipe being angled upwards and the air nozzle of the second air outlet pipe being angled downwards.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model provides a mixing device for the production of compound sugars. A vibrating feeding mechanism is provided above the mixing chamber, and a stirring mechanism is provided below the mixing chamber. A higher proportion of various sweetener components are then fed into the mixing chamber through a second feeding pipe and mixed by the stirring mechanism. Simultaneously, a smaller proportion of various sweetener components are fed into a storage tank through a first feeding pipe. The storage tank is then vibrated by a vibrator, causing the sweetener components in the storage tank to continuously vibrate and fall from the screen, gradually mixing with other sweetener components in the mixing chamber. This ensures that the smaller proportions of sweetener components are evenly distributed among the larger proportions, avoiding the problems of agglomeration and uneven distribution of the smaller proportions of sweetener components.

At the same time, the compression spring supports and buffers the vibration of the storage box, thereby reducing the noise generated when the storage box vibrates and improving the stability of the vibration.

[0018] Finally, by setting several staggered material columns inside the first feed pipe, the sweetener components of the compound sugar are obstructed by these columns as they fall from the first feed pipe into the storage tank, thus breaking them down and separating them to a certain extent, resulting in a more dispersed sweetener component as it falls into the storage tank. Simultaneously, after being fed into the second feed pipe, some of the sweetener components fall onto the dispersing plate. Under the influence of gravity, the dispersing plate rotates, further breaking down and dispersing the sweetener components, resulting in a more dispersed sweetener component as it falls into the mixing chamber.

[0024] The embodiments described below are merely some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses a mixing device for the production of compound sugar, including a fixed base 1, a mixing tank 2 for mixing and preparing various sweet components of compound sugar is fixedly connected inside the fixed base 1, and several support rods 3 are provided at the bottom of the fixed base 1.

[0026] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mixing tank 2 includes a tank body 21 and a tank cover 22 for closing the opening of the tank body 21; a mixing chamber 23 is formed inside the tank body 21, a vibrating feeding mechanism 4 is provided above the mixing chamber 23, and a stirring mechanism 5 is provided below the mixing chamber 23.

[0027] The vibrating feeding mechanism 4 includes a shock-absorbing module, a storage box 41, and a vibrator 42. The shock-absorbing module includes several fixed sleeves 43, each fixed sleeve 43 forming a vertically penetrating inner cavity 44. A guide sleeve 45 is installed inside the inner cavity 44, and a guide rod 46 is slidably connected inside the guide sleeve 45. The end of the guide rod 46 away from the guide sleeve 45 passes through the inner cavity 44 and is fixedly connected to the top surface of the storage box 41. A compression spring 47 is also sleeved on the guide rod 46, and the two ends of the compression spring 47 abut against the bottom surface of the fixed sleeve 43 and the top surface of the storage box 41, respectively.

[0028] When the storage box 41 vibrates, the guide rod 46 can move vertically up and down along the guide sleeve 45 in the inner cavity 44. At the same time, the compression spring supports and buffers the vibration of the storage box 41, thereby reducing the noise generated when the storage box 41 vibrates and improving the stability of the vibration.

[0029] The top surface of the storage tank 41 is also provided with several first feed pipes 6 communicating with the interior of the storage tank 41, and the first feed pipes 6 penetrate the can lid 22 and extend to the outside of the can lid 22; the bottom surface of the storage tank 41 is open, and a screen 7 is detachably installed on the opening. In actual use, a small proportion of sweetener components in the compound sugar can be fed into the storage tank 41 through the first feed pipes 6, and then enter the mixing chamber 23 through the mesh of the screen 7. Furthermore, the screen can be replaced according to the minimum particle size of the sweetener components to ensure that the incoming material can pass through the screen mesh normally.

[0030] The vibrator 42 is installed on the top surface of the storage box 41 and is used to drive the storage box 41 to vibrate, so that the screen 7 vibrates and discharges material.

[0031] During operation, the vibrator 42 drives the storage box 41 to vibrate, causing the screen 7 to vibrate accordingly. During the vibration of the screen, the sweetener components in the storage box 41 are continuously shaken from the screen holes of the screen 7 into the mixing chamber 23, and gradually mixed with other sweetener components in the mixing chamber 23.

[0032] In this embodiment, the vibratory machine 42 includes a base, a support seat mounted on the base, a reactor and a filter mounted inside the base, and a vibratory seat mounted above the support seat. The vibratory seat is fixed to the top surface of the storage box 41 by a vibrating flexible plate, and a metal plate corresponding to the reactor is also mounted on the vibratory seat. A vibrating spring connects the vibratory seat and the metal plate. After power is applied, the reactor repeatedly attracts the metal plate, but it is pulled back by the vibrating spring connecting them. This pull and bounce generates rapid and continuous up-and-down vibration, which is transmitted to the storage box 41 above through the vibrating flexible plate, causing it to vibrate.

[0033] In some embodiments, the can lid 22 is provided with a plurality of through holes, and an elastic telescopic sleeve 8 is installed in the through holes. The elastic telescopic sleeve 8 has a through hole in its center, and the first feed pipe 6 passes through the through hole and extends to the outside of the can lid 22. The elastic telescopic sleeve 8 can seal the space between the can lid 22 and the first feed pipe 6. The elasticity of the elastic telescopic sleeve 8 and the arrangement of the through hole can ensure that the first feed pipe 6 vibrates within the through hole when the storage tank 41 vibrates.

[0034] The can lid 22 is also equipped with a second feed pipe 9, which is used to introduce a higher proportion of sweetener ingredients into the mixing chamber 23 for mixing. A discharge pipe 10 is provided at the bottom of the can body 21. In this embodiment, both the first feed pipe 6 and the second feed pipe 9 are equipped with feed hoppers 61, and each of the first feed pipe 6, the second feed pipe 9, and the discharge pipe 10 is equipped with a solenoid valve 11. The feed hoppers 61 increase the material introduction area and prevent spillage or blockage.

[0035] The first feed pipe 6 has several staggered material columns 62 inside, so that when the sweet component material of the compound sugar falls from the first feed pipe 6 into the storage box 41, the sweet component material is blocked by the material columns, thereby breaking it down and separating it to a certain extent, so that the sweet component material is more dispersed when it falls into the storage box 41.

[0036] The second feed pipe 9 has a first rotating shaft 91 rotatably mounted inside, and the first rotating shaft 91 is equipped with several dispersing plates 92. After the sweetener component is fed into the second feed pipe 9, part of it falls onto the dispersing plates 92. Under the action of gravity, the dispersing plates 92 rotate with the first rotating shaft 91, which can further disperse the sweetener component, so that the sweetener material is more dispersed when it falls into the mixing chamber 33.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the stirring mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 51 disposed at the bottom of the outer side of the tank 21 and a second rotating shaft 52 disposed in the mixing chamber 23; one end of the second rotating shaft 52 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 51, and a plurality of stirring blades 53 are alternately arranged on both sides of the second rotating shaft 52.

[0038] The second rotating shaft 52 is driven by the drive motor 51 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring blade 53 to rotate, so as to fully mix the various sweet ingredients inside the mixing chamber 33 and realize the compound sugar.

[0039] The stirring blade 53 includes a horizontal support rod 531 and an inclined plate 532 disposed on the horizontal support rod 531. The inclined plate 532 is provided with a plurality of reinforcing ribs 533. When the inclined plate 532 rotates, it can better break the interfacial tension between materials, making them easier to mix; the reinforcing ribs 533 can enhance the structural strength of the inclined plate 532, thereby extending the service life of the stirring blade 53.

[0040] A bottom scraper 54 is provided on one end of the second rotating shaft 52 near the bottom of the mixing chamber 23, and the bottom of the bottom scraper 54 matches the bottom of the mixing chamber 23. The bottom scraper 54 rotates with the second rotating shaft 52, thereby agitating the sweetener components deposited at the bottom of the tank 21, preventing the material from settling at the bottom without being stirred and mixed, thus significantly improving the mixing uniformity of the various flavoring components.

[0041] This invention provides a mixing device for the production of compound sugars. A vibrating feeding mechanism 4 is provided above the mixing chamber 23, and a stirring mechanism 5 is provided below the mixing chamber 23. A higher proportion of various sweetener components are fed into the mixing chamber 23 through a second feeding pipe 9 and mixed by the stirring mechanism 5. Simultaneously, a smaller proportion of various sweetener components are fed into a storage tank 41 through a first feeding pipe 6. A vibrator 42 drives the storage tank 41 to vibrate, causing the sweetener components in the storage tank 41 to continuously vibrate and fall from the screen 7, gradually mixing with other sweetener components in the mixing chamber 23. This ensures that the smaller proportions of sweetener components are evenly distributed among the larger proportions, avoiding agglomeration and uneven distribution of the smaller proportions of sweetener components. This improves the mixing uniformity and nutritional consistency of the compound sugar produced, thereby enhancing the quality of the compound sugar formulation.

[0042] In some embodiments, an air inlet pipe 12 for introducing high-pressure gas is provided on both sides of the tank body 21, and a first air outlet pipe 13 and a second air outlet pipe 14 are respectively provided on both sides of the inside of the tank body 21. The first air outlet pipe 13 and the second air outlet pipe 14 are connected to the corresponding air inlet pipe 12, and each of the first air outlet pipe 13 and the second air outlet pipe 14 is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes.

[0043] High-pressure gas is introduced into the first outlet pipe 13 and the second outlet pipe 14 through the inlet pipe 12, thereby agitating the sweetener components in the tank 21. This can work in conjunction with the stirring mechanism 5 to further enhance the mixing uniformity of the various flavoring components.

[0044] The first air outlet pipe 13 and the second air outlet pipe 14 are both equipped with air nozzles on their air outlet holes. The air nozzle of the first air outlet pipe 13 is set at an angle upward, and the air nozzle of the second air outlet pipe 14 is set at an angle downward.

[0045] The first air outlet pipe 13 has its nozzle angled upward, which guides the gas to diffuse towards the upper area of ​​the equipment, forming a top airflow circulation; the second air outlet pipe 14 has its nozzle angled downward, which pushes the gas to penetrate into the lower part of the equipment, forming a bottom airflow coverage. The upper and lower airflows can cross-mix the sweetener components, significantly improving the uniform mixing efficiency of the materials.

[0046] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made in accordance with the scope of the present utility model patent application shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
