Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a raw material mixing device for the production and processing of sour plum soup. Background Technology

[0002] Sour plum drink is a traditional summer beverage. The common sour plum drink recipes on the market include large solid ingredients such as dried plums, dried tangerine peel, and dried mulberries, as well as granular or water-soluble ingredients such as osmanthus, rock sugar, and licorice. Due to the variety of ingredients, a device is needed to mix and pre-treat the various ingredients in the process of large-scale industrial production.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN219942613U discloses a raw material mixing device for the production and processing of sour plum juice, including a box body, a crushing mechanism, a mixing mechanism, a filter plate, and a feed funnel fixedly installed on the top of the box body. The crushing mechanism, mixing mechanism, and filter plate are located inside the box body and are distributed sequentially away from the feed funnel. A first inclined plate is provided inside the box body, inclined between the feed funnel and the crushing mechanism, and a drop opening is opened on the first inclined plate. A first receiving box is provided inside the box body, located on the side of the first inclined plate away from the feed funnel, and the drop opening is connected to the first receiving box. It has the effect of screening and proportioning different types of sour plum juice raw materials by size, so as to improve the taste of the finished sour plum juice.

[0004] However, its shortcomings are as follows: medicinal materials such as dried plums and tangerine peel are easily contaminated with dust during harvesting and transportation, and these raw materials need to be cleaned before entering the production line for processing. On the other hand, raw materials such as osmanthus and rock sugar will dissolve due to being transported in packaging bags or getting wet, so they do not require additional cleaning. The current mixing equipment does not perform targeted classification and cleaning of raw materials, which affects efficiency. How to clean the raw materials separately and then mix them is a problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a raw material mixing device for the production and processing of sour plum soup, which has the effect of classifying, cleaning and mixing raw materials, and crushing them, while reducing the amount of water used in the cleaning process.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a raw material mixing equipment for the production and processing of sour plum soup, including a frame, on which a powder conveyor belt and a block raw material conveyor belt are arranged in parallel. Several sets of feeding devices are provided on both the powder conveyor belt and the block raw material conveyor belt. A block raw material washing device is provided at the end of the block raw material conveyor belt. The block raw material washing device is connected to a wastewater circulation device through a pipe. The end of the powder conveyor belt and the end of the block raw material washing device are connected to a raw material mixing and crushing device. A raw material output conveyor belt is provided below the raw material mixing and crushing device.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, powdered raw materials and lumpy raw materials are stored in the feeding device and transported by the powder conveyor belt and the lumpy raw material conveyor belt respectively. The lumpy raw materials need to be washed by the lumpy raw material washing device to remove surface dust and impurities. Then, they enter the raw material mixing and crushing device together with the powdered raw materials for mixing and crushing. The mixed finished product is sent out by the raw material output conveyor belt below to enter the next process. A wastewater recycling device is set up to filter and recycle the water used to wash away dust, thereby reducing water waste.

[0008] A further feature of this invention is that the feeding device includes a feeding bin fixed on the frame, a feed bin cover hinged to the top of the feeding bin, and a spiral feed pipe horizontally arranged at the bottom of the feeding bin.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solutions, the feed hopper cover prevents dust from entering the feed hopper, and the spiral feed pipe precisely controls the output weight of the raw materials.

[0010] A further feature of this invention is that the spiral feed pipe includes an outer pipe horizontally fixed at the bottom of the feeding hopper, the outer pipe being connected to the inside of the feeding hopper, a spiral blade being rotatably disposed inside the outer pipe, the edge of the spiral blade being in contact with the inner wall of the outer pipe, and the end of the spiral blade away from the powder conveyor belt penetrating the side wall of the outer pipe and being connected to the rotating part of the feed pipe motor, the feed pipe motor being used to drive the spiral blade to rotate.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the spiral feed tube moves the raw material in the gap between the spiral blades through the rotation of the spiral blades. The edge of the spiral blades fits against the inner wall of the outer tube, so no raw material will get stuck on the tube wall. The feed tube motor drives the spiral blades to rotate and can control their speed.

[0012] A further feature of this invention is that the block raw material cleaning device includes a cleaning conveyor belt horizontally fixed on a frame, a through-flow water filter groove on the surface of the cleaning conveyor belt, a spray device above the cleaning conveyor belt, a wastewater collection tank below the cleaning conveyor belt, and a wastewater discharge outlet below the wastewater collection tank.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the lumpy raw materials are transported to the lumpy raw material conveyor belt, and then reach the cleaning conveyor belt driven by the conveyor belt. The surface of the cleaning conveyor belt has a water filter tank to filter out water. The spray device above the cleaning conveyor belt sprays the cleaning liquid vertically downward to clean the surface of the lumpy raw materials. The wastewater passes through the water filter tank and enters the wastewater collection tank downward.

[0014] A further feature of this invention is that the spraying device includes a water tank fixed on a frame, an inlet is provided on the side wall of the water tank, and several sets of spray heads are provided at the bottom of the water tank along the cleaning conveyor belt, and the spray heads can spray water vertically downwards.

[0015] A further feature of this invention is that the wastewater recycling device includes a water collection tank fixed on a frame, the water collection tank being connected to a wastewater discharge outlet pipe, a clean water tank being provided on one side of the water collection tank, the water collection tank and the clean water tank being separated by a separating filter screen, the separating filter screen allowing pure water to pass through, a water pump being connected to the clean water tank pipe, and the water pump being connected to the inlet pipe.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the bottom height of the water collection tank is lower than the bottom height of the wastewater collection tank. Using the principle of communicating vessels, the wastewater in the wastewater collection tank enters the water collection tank. After the wastewater passes through the separation filter to remove dust particles, it enters the clean water tank. The separation filter needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent the accumulation of impurities. The water pump draws water from the clean water tank and transports it back to the water tank for circulation to clean the raw materials.

[0017] A further feature of this invention is that the raw material mixing and crushing device includes a mixing cylinder fixed on a frame, a mixing shaft vertically rotatably connected inside the mixing cylinder, a plurality of mixing blades radially arranged on the mixing shaft, the edges of the mixing blades abutting against the inner wall of the mixing cylinder, and a mixing cylinder motor connected to the top of the mixing shaft, which drives the mixing shaft to rotate.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, powdered raw materials and lumpy raw materials are fed into the mixing cylinder and mixed. Some powdered raw materials and wet lumpy raw materials will stick to the side wall of the mixing cylinder. Therefore, rotating mixing blades are set to scrape the raw materials off the side wall and let them fall to the bottom of the mixing cylinder under the action of gravity. The mixing blades are driven to rotate slowly by the mixing cylinder motor.

[0019] A further feature of this invention is that a crushing shaft is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mixing cylinder, and the crushing shaft is radially provided with several sets of crushing blades. The crushing motor drives the crushing shaft to rotate through a gear set.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the raw materials fall to the bottom of the mixing cylinder, the high-speed rotating crushing blades quickly crush and mix the powdery and lumpy raw materials together.

[0021] A further feature of this invention is that dust covers that can block dust are provided above both the powder conveyor belt and the block raw material conveyor belt.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, a detachable dust cover can be installed on the conveyor belt to prevent the raw materials from getting dusty during the conveying process.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. Powdered raw materials and lumpy raw materials are conveyed by a powder conveyor belt and a lumpy raw material conveyor belt respectively, and the raw materials that need to be cleaned are deeply cleaned by a lumpy raw material cleaning device to improve the level of food safety.

[0024] 2. The water used for cleaning raw materials is recycled through a wastewater recycling device to reduce water waste.

[0025] 3. The raw materials are mixed and crushed by the raw material mixing and crushing device. After the raw materials of plum juice are crushed, they are boiled so that the flavor substances in the raw materials can be more thoroughly dissolved in the water, resulting in a better taste of the finished product.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] This utility model embodiment specifically provides a raw material mixing equipment for the production and processing of sour plum soup, including a frame 1. A powder conveyor belt 21 and a block raw material conveyor belt 22 are arranged in parallel on the frame 1. Several sets of feeding devices 3 are provided on both the powder conveyor belt 21 and the block raw material conveyor belt 22. A block raw material washing device 4 is provided at the end of the block raw material conveyor belt 22. The block raw material washing device 4 is connected to a wastewater circulation device 5 through a pipe. The ends of the powder conveyor belt 21 and the block raw material washing device 4 are connected to a raw material mixing and crushing device 6. A raw material output conveyor belt 7 is provided below the raw material mixing and crushing device 6.

[0031] Because the raw materials for making sour plum drink include lumps such as dried plums and dried tangerine peel, these materials are prone to dust accumulation during transportation, which could cause the finished product to fail to meet food safety standards. Therefore, after entering the production line, these lumps are stored in the lumps feeding device 3 and transported by the lumps conveyor belt 22. The surface dust is washed off by the lumps washing device 4. The sour plum drink also contains powdered materials such as dried osmanthus flowers and white sugar. These powdered materials are covered by outer packaging during transportation and do not accumulate dust. Some of these materials are water-soluble and therefore unsuitable for washing. Thus, these powdered materials are directly transported by the powder conveyor belt 21 to the raw material mixing and pulverizing device 6 to be mixed and pulverized together with the washed lumps. The finished mixture is then processed through the raw material mixing... The raw material output conveyor belt 7 below the crushing device 6 outputs the material into the next process. Since a large amount of water is consumed during the rinsing process, and the purpose of rinsing is only to wash away the fine floating dust on the surface of the material, the impurity content of the wastewater after rinsing is low. The solid particles in the wastewater can be filtered by the wastewater circulation device 5, and the filtered water can be sent back to the cleaning device for recycling. It should be noted that although the wastewater circulation device 5 can filter most of the dust particles, a small number of unfiltered particles will still enter the cleaning device. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the pipes and water storage positions in the circulation system regularly and to test the water quality of the cleaning water. When the water quality does not meet the standards, it should be replaced in time. The water quality can be tested by the water quality testing device connected to the equipment.

[0032] The feeding device 3 includes a feeding bin 31 fixed on the frame 1, a feeding bin cover 33 hinged to the top of the feeding bin 31, and a spiral feeding pipe 32 horizontally arranged at the bottom of the feeding bin 31.

[0033] The feeding device 3 is used to store powdery and lumpy raw materials. To prevent dust from falling from above, a feed hopper cover 33 is hinged to the top of the feeding hopper 31 and closed during storage. To accurately control the weight of the feed, a spiral feed pipe 32 is horizontally installed at the bottom of the feeding hopper 31. The spiral feed pipe 32 feeds the raw material out of the spiral feed pipe 32 by rotating. By controlling the rotation speed of the spiral feed pipe 32, the discharge speed can be controlled, thereby controlling the discharge weight.

[0034] Furthermore, the spiral feed pipe 32 includes an outer pipe 321 horizontally fixed at the bottom of the feeding bin 31. The outer pipe 321 is connected to the inside of the feeding bin 31. A spiral blade 322 is rotatably arranged inside the outer pipe 321. The edge of the spiral blade 322 is in contact with the inner wall of the outer pipe 321. One end of the spiral blade 322 away from the powder conveyor belt 21 passes through the side wall of the outer pipe 321 and is connected to the rotating part of the feed pipe motor 323 installed on the base 1. The feed pipe motor 323 is used to drive the spiral blade 322 to rotate.

[0035] The spiral feed tube 32 utilizes Archimedes' principle, and the raw material moves in the gap between the blades by rotating the spiral blades 322. Since the edge of the spiral blades 322 is in contact with the inner wall of the outer tube 321, no raw material will be stuck on the tube wall. The feed tube motor 323 drives the spiral blades 322 to rotate and can control their speed.

[0036] The block raw material cleaning device 4 includes a cleaning conveyor belt 41 horizontally fixed on the frame 1. A through water filter trough 411 is opened on the surface of the cleaning conveyor belt 41. A spray device 42 is installed above the cleaning conveyor belt 41. A wastewater collection tank 43 is installed below the cleaning conveyor belt 41. A wastewater discharge port 431 is opened on the side of the wastewater collection tank 43.

[0037] The lumpy raw material is transported from the feeding bin 31 to the lumpy raw material conveyor belt 22 through the spiral feed pipe 32, and then reaches the cleaning conveyor belt 41 driven by the conveyor belt. The surface of the cleaning conveyor belt 41 has a water filter tank 411. The spray device 42 above the cleaning conveyor belt 41 sprays the cleaning water vertically downward to clean the surface of the lumpy raw material. The wastewater enters the wastewater collection tank 43 downward through the water filter tank 411.

[0038] In practice, the spraying device 42 includes a water tank 421 fixed on the frame 1. The side wall of the water tank 421 has a water inlet 422. Several sets of spray heads 423 are arranged at the bottom of the water tank 421 along the cleaning conveyor belt 41. The spray heads 423 can spray water vertically downward.

[0039] Spray head 423 draws water from water tank 421 and sprays it downward to rinse the blocky raw material. In order to clean it thoroughly, multiple sets of spray heads are set up so that the raw material can be continuously rinsed as it moves slowly on the cleaning conveyor belt 41. The cleaning water sprayed from the spray head can be in the form of water mist or water curtain, which can easily reach all parts of the raw material.

[0040] Furthermore, the wastewater recycling device 5 includes a water collection tank 51 fixed on the frame 1. The water collection tank 51 is connected to the wastewater discharge outlet 431 by a pipe. A clean water tank 52 is provided on one side of the water collection tank 51. The water collection tank 51 and the clean water tank 52 are separated by a separation filter screen 53. The separation filter screen 53 allows pure water to pass through. A water pump 54 is connected to the clean water tank 52 by a pipe. The water pump 54 is connected to the inlet 422 by a pipe.

[0041] The bottom of the water collection tank 51 is lower than the bottom of the wastewater collection tank 43. Using the principle of communicating vessels, the wastewater in the wastewater collection tank 43 enters the water collection tank 51. The wastewater passes through the separation filter screen 53 to filter out most of the dust and impurities and enters the clean water tank 52. The separation filter screen 53 needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent the accumulation of impurities. Since the recycled water entering the clean water tank 52 has been filtered to remove impurities, it can be directly pumped back into the water tank 421 by the water pump 54 to circulate and clean the raw materials.

[0042] The raw material mixing and crushing device 6 includes a mixing cylinder 61 fixed on the frame 1. A mixing shaft 611 is vertically rotatably connected inside the mixing cylinder 61. Several sets of mixing blades 612 are radially arranged on the mixing shaft 611. The edges of the mixing blades 612 are attached to the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 61. A mixing cylinder motor 613 is connected to the top of the mixing shaft 611. The mixing cylinder motor 613 drives the mixing shaft 611 to rotate.

[0043] Powdered and lumpy raw materials are fed into the mixing cylinder 61 and mixed. Since some of the powdered and wet lumpy raw materials will stick to the side wall of the mixing cylinder, a rotating mixing blade 612 is provided to scrape the raw materials off the side wall and let them fall to the bottom of the mixing cylinder 61 under the action of gravity. The mixing blade 612 is driven to rotate by the mixing cylinder motor 613.

[0044] Furthermore, a crushing shaft 621 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the mixing cylinder 61. Several sets of crushing blades 622 are radially arranged on the crushing shaft 621. The crushing motor 623 drives the crushing shaft 621 to rotate through a gear set.

[0045] After the raw materials fall to the bottom of the mixing cylinder 61, the high-speed rotating crushing blades 622 quickly crush and mix the powdered and lumpy raw materials together. The crushing principle can fully release flavor substances into the water during the subsequent cooking of plum juice, effectively improving the taste of the finished product.

[0046] During implementation, dust covers 23 that can block dust are installed above both the powder conveyor belt 21 and the block raw material conveyor belt 22.

[0047] To prevent raw materials from getting dusty during transportation, a detachable dust cover 23 is installed on the conveyor belt.

[0048] The above describes the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. The standard parts used in this utility model can all be purchased from the market, and the irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts, and equipment all adopt conventional models in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0049] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
