Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In the food processing industry, pastry making places high demands on the uniformity of ingredient mixing, temperature control, and production efficiency. With the development of automation technology, various mixing equipment is widely used in the mixing process of pastry dough to improve product quality and production efficiency. However, traditional mixing equipment still has many shortcomings in practical applications and cannot fully meet the demands of modern pastry processing for high uniformity, high stability, and intelligent control.

[0003] Currently, most pastry processing equipment on the market uses a single mixing structure. During mixing, uneven mixing and low efficiency are common problems, affecting the consistency of the finished product's taste and quality. Furthermore, material often adheres to the inner wall of the mixing drum, making cleaning difficult and resulting in material waste and potential clumping, which can affect the quality of subsequent batches. Additionally, existing equipment has a rudimentary temperature control system, unable to dynamically adjust the mixing temperature based on the material's state, which can lead to premature yeast activation and affect dough fermentation performance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pastry processing equipment with optimized structure, high mixing efficiency, intelligent temperature control, and self-cleaning functions to solve these technical problems and meet the demands of continuous high-quality pastry production. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a pastry food processing equipment. This equipment utilizes a motor-driven stirring shaft and a bevel gear transmission structure to achieve counter-rotation of the first and second stirring rods, thereby improving mixing uniformity and ensuring stable dough homogeneity. Side and bottom scrapers are installed to remove materials adhering to the walls. Temperature is controlled via a jacket and temperature and humidity sensors to prevent premature yeast activation and ensure quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pastry food processing equipment, including a mixing tank, a jacket provided on the outer wall of the mixing tank, a water inlet fixedly connected to the lower left end of the jacket, a water outlet fixedly connected to the upper right end of the jacket, a temperature and humidity sensor provided on the inner wall of the top of the mixing tank, a support frame fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the mixing tank, a motor fixedly connected to the top of the support frame, a stirring shaft fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor, a sleeve connected to the upper end of the stirring shaft through a meshing assembly, a connecting rod fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower end of the sleeve, side scrapers fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod, a first stirring rod fixedly connected to the inner side of the side scraper, a bottom scraper fixedly connected to the lower end of the side scraper, a second stirring rod fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lower end of the stirring shaft, and several automatic feeders provided around the top of the mixing tank, with a feeding hopper fixedly connected to the upper end of each automatic feeder.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a pastry food processing device, including a mixing tank 1, a jacket 2 on the outer wall of the mixing tank 1, a water inlet 3 fixedly connected to the lower left end of the jacket 2, a water outlet 4 fixedly connected to the upper right end of the jacket 2, a temperature and humidity sensor on the inner wall of the top of the mixing tank 1, a support frame 5 fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the mixing tank 1, a motor 6 fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 5, a mixing shaft 7 fixedly connected to the drive end of the motor 6, the bottom end of the mixing shaft 7 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the mixing tank 1, a first bevel gear 8 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper end of the mixing shaft 7, a second bevel gear 9 meshing with the lower right end of the first bevel gear 8, the right side of the second bevel gear 9 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support frame 5, and a third bevel gear 11 meshing with the lower left end of the second bevel gear 9, the inner wall of the third bevel gear 11 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper end of the sleeve 10, and the sleeve 1... The inner wall of the sleeve 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 7, and the outer wall of the sleeve 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the mixing tank 1. A mechanical seal is provided at the rotatable connection between the sleeve 10 and the mixing tank 1. A connecting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the lower outer wall of the sleeve 10. Side scrapers 13 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod 12. A first stirring rod 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the side scraper 13. A bottom scraper 19 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the side scraper 13. Food-grade silicone is provided on the side of the side scraper 13 and the bottom scraper 19 near the wall of the mixing tank 1. The middle part of the bottom scraper 19 is rotatably connected to the lower outer wall of the stirring shaft 7. A second stirring rod 15 is fixedly connected to the lower outer wall of the stirring shaft 7. Several automatic feeders 17 are provided around the top of the mixing tank 1. A hopper 18 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the automatic feeder 17. A discharge valve 16 is provided at the lower end of the mixing tank 1. Support legs 20 are fixedly connected around the lower end of the mixing tank 1.

[0019] Specifically, when using this device to mix pastry food ingredients, the required raw materials, such as flour, powdered sugar, and yeast, are first added to their respective feeding hoppers 18. Then, the proportions of each raw material are set on the automatic feeder 17, and the system automatically completes the feeding process according to the set proportions. The design of multiple feeding hoppers 18 effectively avoids cross-contamination between different raw materials caused by sharing hoppers. After feeding is completed, the motor 6 is started, and the drive end of the motor 6 drives the stirring shaft 7 to rotate. The stirring shaft 7 not only drives the second stirring rod 15 to stir the materials but also achieves reverse stirring through a meshing assembly. Specifically, the first bevel gear 8, installed on the upper outer wall of the stirring shaft 7, rotates with the shaft and sequentially drives the second bevel gear 9 and the third bevel gear 11 to rotate. This causes the rotation direction of the third bevel gear 11 to be opposite to that of the first bevel gear 8, thereby driving the sleeve 10 and connecting rod 12 connected to it to rotate, ultimately causing the first stirring rod 14, side scraper 13, and bottom scraper 19 to rotate synchronously in the opposite direction to the second stirring rod 15. This reverse stirring structure allows for more uniform mixing of materials within the mixing tank 1, improving mixing efficiency and quality. Simultaneously, the side scraper 13 and bottom scraper 19 rotate with the stirring structure, promptly scraping away material adhering to the inner wall and bottom of the mixing tank 1, preventing material residue and clumping. To ensure stable material temperature during mixing, the outer wall of the mixing tank 1 is equipped with a jacket structure 2, through which cold or warm water can be introduced to regulate the internal temperature. The system is also equipped with temperature and humidity sensors, which monitor the material status in real time and dynamically adjust the water temperature based on feedback information, preventing premature yeast activation due to excessively high temperatures, which could affect subsequent processing quality. After mixing, the uniformly mixed dough can be discharged through the discharge valve 16 at the bottom, entering the next processing step, achieving an efficient and continuous production process.

[0020] Working principle: When using this device to mix pastry ingredients, first place the required flour, powdered sugar, yeast, and other materials into the respective feeding hoppers 18, then set the proportions on the automatic feeder 17 for automatic feeding. Multiple feeding hoppers 18 feed together to avoid cross-contamination within the same feeding hopper 18. After the material is fed in, motor 6 is started. The drive end of motor 6 drives the stirring shaft 7 to rotate, which in turn drives the second stirring rod 15 to rotate and stir the mixed material. The first bevel gear 8 rotates with the stirring shaft 7, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 9 to rotate. The second bevel gear 9 then drives the third bevel gear 11 to rotate, so that the rotation direction of the third bevel gear 11 is opposite to that of the first bevel gear 8. The sleeve 10 and the connecting rod 12 rotate with the third bevel gear 11, causing the side scraper 13, the bottom scraper 19, and the first stirring rod 14 to rotate in the opposite direction to that of the second stirring rod 15. The opposite rotation of the first stirring rod 14 and the second stirring rod 15 makes the mixture more evenly stirred, and the side scraper 13 and the bottom scraper 19 scrape the inner wall of the mixing tank 1 to prevent the material from sticking to the wall. The jacket 2 on the outer wall of the mixing tank 1 allows cold or warm water to be introduced through the water inlet 3 to control the material temperature and prevent premature activation of yeast. The water temperature is adjusted in real time based on feedback from the temperature and humidity sensor. The well-mixed material is discharged through discharge valve 16 and proceeds to the next process.

[0021] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
