Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of mixing equipment, specifically relating to a mixing device for yam powder production. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of yam powder, various nutrients need to be added depending on the flavor and efficacy, such as jujube powder, sugars, and various amino acids. Current technologies often use stirring to mix the materials. However, the presence of the stirring paddle makes cleaning the equipment inconvenient after use, and dead corners exist in the mixing tank, which the paddle cannot reach, resulting in insufficient mixing and low efficiency. Furthermore, the mixed powder tends to clump, which is detrimental to subsequent production and affects the final product quality. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a mixing device for yam powder production to solve these technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a mixing device for yam powder production, including a heart-shaped mixing tank with support frames on both sides. The mixing tank is connected to the corresponding support frames via rotating shafts. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the mixing tank, and the other end is rotatably connected to the corresponding support frame via a bearing. One of the rotating shafts is connected to a motor. The mixing tank has an inlet and an outlet pipe, both equipped with switch valves. The outlet pipe is detachably connected to a feeding auger via a material guiding assembly, and the outlet end of the feeding auger is connected to a vibrating screen.

[0004] The motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the mixing tank to rotate with the shaft. When the heart-shaped tip of the mixing tank faces down, the materials inside the mixing tank are mixed together under the action of gravity. Then, as the mixing tank rotates, when the heart-shaped tip of the mixing tank faces up, the materials inside the mixing tank are dispersed under the action of gravity. As the mixing tank continues to rotate, the materials are constantly gathered and dispersed, and dispersed and gathered again, completing an efficient mixing operation. After the mixing is completed, the discharge pipe enters the feeding auger through the material guide assembly. The feeding auger transports the materials to the vibrating screen. During the transportation process, the feeding screw of the feeding auger can play a certain crushing role on the materials, breaking up larger lumps. After the materials enter the vibrating screen, the un-lumped materials are screened out and enter the next process, while the lumped materials remain on the screen and are centrally processed.

[0005] The material guiding assembly includes a flexible material guiding tube, with locking devices connected to both the inlet and outlet of the tube. The material guiding assembly enables the connection of the outlet tube to the inlet of other processing equipment.

[0006] Preferably, the locking element is a steel wire. The upper and lower ends of the guide tube are fixed to the discharge pipe and the feed pipe of the feeding auger, respectively, by the steel wire.

[0007] Preferably, the locking component includes a connecting ring and a locking pin. The inner wall of the connecting ring has a first groove, and the end face of one end of the connecting ring has a second groove. The second groove communicates with the first groove. One end of the guide tube extends from the second groove into the first groove. A fastening rope is provided on the guide tube located in the first groove. One end of the locking pin extends into the first groove. A fixing plate is fixed at the opening of the first groove corresponding to the locking pin. One end of the locking pin is rotatably connected to the fixing plate through a bearing. One end of the fastening rope is fixedly wound around the locking pin in the first groove. The other end of the locking pin is connected to a rotating handle. The outer wall of the locking pin near the rotating handle has a third groove along the axial direction. A slider is slidably fitted in the third groove. The rotating handle is sleeved on the locking pin. The slider is fixedly connected to the rotating handle. A positioning pin is fixed on one side of the rotating handle corresponding to the connecting ring. The connecting ring has multiple positioning grooves that cooperate with the positioning pin. Place the connecting ring onto the discharge pipe, then rotate the locking pin. The fastening rope will wrap around the locking pin, tightening the guide pipe. Next, push the rotating handle towards the connecting ring, causing the positioning pin to insert into one of the positioning slots for limiting its position. This fixes the guide pipe onto the discharge pipe and locks the feed end of the guide pipe. To disassemble, pull the rotating handle to disengage the positioning pin from the positioning slot, then rotate the handle in the opposite direction to release the fastening rope from the positioning pin. Once the fastening rope is loosened, the connecting ring can be removed. This completes the quick installation and disassembly process.

[0008] Preferably, the feeding auger is mounted on a mobile trolley, which includes a frame. The bottom of the frame is equipped with wheels that are brakeable (this is prior art; the braking principle and specific structure will not be detailed here). One end of the frame is hinged to the outer wall of the feeding end of the feeding auger, and the other end of the frame is hinged to a telescopic rod. The telescopic rod can be an electric push rod or a hydraulic rod. The end of the telescopic rod away from the frame is hinged to the outer wall of the feeding auger. The mobile trolley facilitates the movement of the feeding auger without affecting the rotation of the mixing tank. The extension and retraction of the telescopic rod changes the tilt angle of the feeding auger, allowing the discharge end of the feeding auger to be compatible with equipment at different heights.

[0009] Preferably, the output end of the motor is connected to a gearbox, the output end of the gearbox is connected to a pulley one, a pulley two is fixedly connected to the shaft corresponding to pulley one, and a transmission belt is connected between pulley two and pulley one.

[0010] This utility model also includes other components that enable the mixing device for yam powder production to function normally, such as the control components for the motor, the control components for the feeding auger, and the control components for the vibrating screen, all of which are conventional technologies in the field. Furthermore, devices or components not specified in this utility model, such as switching valves, feeding augers, and vibrating screens, all employ conventional technologies and equipment in the field.

[0011] Working Principle: The material to be mixed is fed into the mixing tank through the inlet. The valves on the inlet and outlet pipe are closed. The motor drives the shaft to rotate, causing the mixing tank to rotate with the shaft. When the heart-shaped tip of the mixing tank faces downwards, the material inside mixes together under gravity. Then, as the tank rotates, the material disperses under gravity when the heart-shaped tip faces upwards. As the mixing tank continues to rotate, the material repeatedly gathers and disperses, completing the efficient mixing operation. After the mixing operation is complete, the outlet pipe connects to the guide pipe, and the other end of the guide pipe connects to the inlet of the feeding auger. The valve on the outlet pipe is opened, and the material, after pre-crushing and transporting by the feeding auger, enters the vibrating screen for screening. Agglomerated and unqualified powder is removed, while qualified powder proceeds to the next process.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects: By designing a heart-shaped mixing tank and coordinating its rotation, the material is continuously dispersed and gathered under the action of gravity, completing an efficient mixing operation. The structure is simple, the mixing effect is good, the efficiency is high, the mixing tank is easy to clean, and the mixed powder can be pre-crushed, transported, and screened, so that qualified materials can enter the next process, and unqualified materials are screened out and centrally processed, which improves the quality of the product and is beneficial to the next step of production.

[0024] The present invention will now be clearly described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This description is merely for explaining the present invention and is not intended to limit it. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort to obtain all other embodiments should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a mixing device for yam powder production, including a mixing tank 2, which is heart-shaped. Support frames 1 are provided on both sides of the mixing tank 2. The mixing tank 2 is connected to the corresponding support frame 1 via a rotating shaft 19. One end of the rotating shaft 19 is fixedly connected to the mixing tank 2, and the other end is rotatably connected to the corresponding support frame 1 via a bearing. One of the rotating shafts 19 is connected to a motor 8, which is fixed on the support frame. The mixing tank 2 is provided with an inlet 14 and an outlet pipe 3, both of which are equipped with switch valves 4. The outlet pipe is detachably connected to a feeding auger 25 (which can be an LS-type screw conveyor) via a material guiding assembly. The outlet end of the feeding auger 25 is connected to a vibrating screen 26 (which can be a YS-400).

[0027] Motor 8 drives shaft 19 to rotate, which in turn drives mixing tank 2 to rotate with shaft 19. When the heart-shaped tip of mixing tank 2 faces downward, the materials inside mixing tank 2 are mixed together under the action of gravity. Then, as it rotates, when the heart-shaped tip of mixing tank 2 faces upward, the materials inside mixing tank 2 are dispersed under the action of gravity. As mixing tank 2 continues to rotate, the materials are constantly gathered and dispersed, and dispersed and gathered again, completing an efficient mixing operation. After mixing is completed, the discharge pipe enters the feeding auger through the guide assembly. The feeding auger transports the materials to the vibrating screen. During the transportation process, the feeding screw of the feeding auger can play a certain crushing role on the materials, breaking up larger lumps. After the materials enter the vibrating screen, the un-lumped materials are screened off and enter the next process, while the lumped materials remain on the screen and are centrally processed.

[0028] The discharge pipe 3 is connected to a detachable material guiding assembly, which includes a flexible material guiding pipe 5 (e.g., made of wear-resistant canvas, a canvas tube). Both the inlet 14 and outlet of the material guiding pipe 5 are connected to locking devices. The material guiding assembly enables the discharge pipe 3 to be connected to the inlet of other processing equipment.

[0029] The locking element is steel wire 24. The upper and lower ends of the guide tube 5 are fixed to the discharge tube 3 and the feed tube of other equipment by the steel wire.

[0030] The feeding auger 25 is mounted on a mobile trolley, which includes a frame 27. The bottom of the frame is equipped with wheels that are brakeable (existing technology). The braking principle and specific structure are not detailed here. One end of the frame is hinged to the outer wall of the feeding end of the feeding auger, and the other end of the frame is hinged to a telescopic rod 28. The telescopic rod can be an electric push rod or a hydraulic rod. The end of the telescopic rod away from the frame is hinged to the outer wall of the feeding auger. The mobile trolley facilitates the movement of the feeding auger without affecting the rotation of the mixing tank. The extension and retraction of the telescopic rod can change the tilt angle of the feeding auger, facilitating the matching of the feeding auger's discharge end with equipment of different heights.

A slider 15 is slidably fitted in the groove 3 18. The rotating handle 7 is sleeved on the locking pin 16. The slider 15 is fixedly connected to the rotating handle 7. A positioning pin 10 is fixed on one side of the rotating handle 7 corresponding to the connecting ring 6. The connecting ring 6 is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 11 that cooperate with the positioning pin 10. Place the connecting ring 6 onto the discharge pipe 3. Then, rotate the locking pin 16, and the fastening rope 9 will wrap around the locking pin 16, tightening the guide pipe 5.
