Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a double-action head-up dough mixer with a head-up clutch transmission structure. Background Technology

[0002] A dough mixer is a type of pasta machine, primarily used to evenly mix flour and water to form a dough for later use. The overhead dough mixer is one such type. Dough mixers are common kitchen appliances used in many households for making pasta dishes or cakes, and are widely popular. The double-action dough mixer employs a compound motion design: while the mixing head drives the mixing components to rotate, the base drives the mixing bowl to rotate in the opposite direction, creating a two-way kneading effect that significantly improves dough gluten development and mixing uniformity.

[0003] However, existing double-action dough mixers use two independent transmission systems for the head and base, employing a dual-motor design to control the mixing components and mixing bowl separately. This design results in relatively high manufacturing and operating costs. Furthermore, the increased number of components can increase the failure rate, reduce the machine's lifespan, and decrease maintenance frequency. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a double-action head-up dough-making machine with a head-up clutch transmission structure.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by one embodiment of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a double-action head-up dough mixer with a head-up clutch transmission structure, including: a base, a machine body, a machine head, a material bucket, a stirring assembly, a drive motor, a first transmission assembly, a second transmission assembly, a clutch transmission assembly, and a lifting assembly; The machine body is located at the rear of the base, the machine head is rotatably hinged to the machine body, and the material bucket is located at the front of the base; the first transmission assembly is located at the machine head and connected to the stirring assembly, which can drive the stirring assembly to rotate; the second transmission assembly is located at the base and connected to the material bucket, which can drive the material bucket to rotate; the lifting assembly is used to lift the machine head. The clutch transmission assembly is disposed on the machine body, and its upper and lower ends are respectively connected to the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly; when the machine head is raised, the clutch transmission assembly can disconnect the power transmission between the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly; when the machine head is tilted down to the machine body, the clutch transmission assembly can engage the power transmission between the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly.

[0006] Optionally, the clutch transmission assembly includes an upper clutch transmission shaft and a lower clutch transmission shaft; the upper end of the upper clutch transmission shaft is connected to the first transmission assembly, and the lower end is engaged with the lower clutch transmission shaft; the lower end of the lower clutch transmission shaft is connected to the second transmission assembly.

[0007] Optionally, a clutch engagement cap and a clutch drive crossbar are provided at the joint between the upper clutch drive shaft and the lower clutch drive shaft; the clutch engagement cap has several vertically extending clutch slots along its circumference, and the clutch drive crossbar can be engaged into the clutch slots.

[0008] Optionally, two adjacent clutch slots are separated by a vertically extending ratchet.

[0009] Optionally, the top of the ratchet is provided with an inclined surface that tilts in the same direction of rotation.

[0010] Optionally, a plurality of clutch slots are provided, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the clutch engagement cap.

Alternatively, the unlocking slot can be aligned with the locking hook, which can pass through the unlocking slot and disengage from the locking rod, thus placing the machine head and body in an unlocked state.

[0013] Optionally, there are two locking blocks spaced apart; the locking part and the unlocking slot are provided in two sets corresponding to the two locking blocks.

[0014] Optionally, a handle is attached to one side of the locking rod.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Through an innovatively designed clutch transmission assembly, bidirectional coordinated movement of the mixing component and the material container under a single motor drive is achieved, significantly optimizing the overall machine structure and performance. Using a single drive motor in conjunction with the clutch transmission assembly replaces the traditional dual-motor independent drive system, greatly reducing the number of parts and directly lowering manufacturing and maintenance costs. The integrated design of the transmission chain avoids mechanical redundancy in multi-motor coordination, reducing potential failure points and significantly improving equipment stability and service life. The power transmission to the material container is automatically cut off when the machine head is raised and automatically resumed when the machine head is lowered, requiring no additional control steps, ensuring operational safety and simplifying the workflow. While maintaining bidirectional kneading to improve dough gluten development, the precise power transmission via the mechanical clutch ensures a stable speed ratio between the mixing component and the material container, resulting in superior mixing uniformity compared to traditional separate drive designs.

[0023] Example Reference Figures 1 to 5 The present invention proposes a double-action head-up dough mixer with a head-up clutch transmission structure, comprising: a base 10, a machine body 20, a machine head 30, a material hopper 40, a stirring assembly 50, a drive motor 60, a first transmission assembly 61, a second transmission assembly 62, a clutch transmission assembly 70, and a lifting assembly 80. The machine body 20 is located at the rear of the base 10, the machine head 30 is rotatably hinged to the machine body 20, and the material bucket 40 is located at the front of the base 10; the first transmission assembly 61 is located at the machine head 30 and connected to the stirring assembly 50, which can drive the stirring assembly 50 to rotate; the second transmission assembly 62 is located at the base 10 and connected to the material bucket 40, which can drive the material bucket 40 to rotate; the lifting assembly 80 is used to lift the machine head 30; The clutch transmission assembly 70 is disposed on the machine body 20, and its upper and lower ends are respectively connected to the first transmission assembly 61 and the second transmission assembly 62. When the machine head 30 is raised, the clutch transmission assembly 70 can disconnect the power transmission between the first transmission assembly 61 and the second transmission assembly 62. When the machine head 30 is lowered to the machine body 20, the clutch transmission assembly 70 can engage the power transmission between the first transmission assembly 61 and the second transmission assembly 62.

[0024] In this invention, the innovatively designed clutch transmission assembly 70 enables bidirectional coordinated movement between the mixing assembly 50 and the material container 40 under a single motor drive, significantly optimizing the overall machine structure and performance. The use of a single drive motor 60 in conjunction with the clutch transmission assembly 70 replaces the traditional dual-motor independent drive system, drastically reducing the number of parts and directly lowering manufacturing and maintenance costs. The integrated design of the transmission chain avoids mechanical redundancy in multi-motor coordination, reducing potential failure points and significantly improving equipment stability and service life. The power transmission to the material container 40 is automatically cut off when the machine head 30 is raised and automatically resumed when the machine head 30 is lowered, requiring no additional control steps, ensuring operational safety and simplifying the workflow. While maintaining bidirectional kneading to improve dough gluten development, the mechanical clutch precisely transmits power, ensuring a stable speed ratio between the mixing assembly 50 and the material container 40, resulting in superior mixing uniformity compared to traditional separate drive designs.

[0025] In this embodiment, the clutch transmission assembly 70 includes an upper clutch transmission shaft 71 and a lower clutch transmission shaft 72; the upper end of the upper clutch transmission shaft 71 is connected to the first transmission assembly 61, and the lower end is engaged with the lower clutch transmission shaft 72; the lower end of the lower clutch transmission shaft 72 is connected to the second transmission assembly 62.

[0026] The upper clutch drive shaft 71 and the lower clutch drive shaft 72 are connected by a clutch engagement cap 73 and a clutch drive crossbar 74. The clutch engagement cap 73 has several vertically extending clutch slots 731 along its circumference, into which the clutch drive crossbar 74 can be engaged. The rigid connection of the clutch drive crossbar 74 into the slots can stably and quickly transmit the driving torque of the first transmission component 61 and the second transmission component 62. The slots can withstand torque without deformation, making them particularly suitable for the high resistance conditions of dough mixing.

[0027] In this embodiment, two adjacent clutch slots 731 are separated by a vertically extending ratchet 732, the sidewall of which can disperse the impact energy when the stirring assembly 50 stops suddenly.

[0028] Furthermore, the top of the ratchet 732 is provided with an inclined surface that tilts in the same direction of rotation. The mechanical optimization of the inclined surface of the ratchet 732 guides the crossbar to slide into the slot, and can automatically correct its position even if the head 30 is not fully tilted down.

[0029] In this embodiment, several clutch slots 731 are provided, evenly distributed along the circumference of the clutch engagement cap 73. This effectively maintains dynamic balance, and the clutch drive crossbar 74 can slide into an adjacent clutch slot 731.

[0030] In this embodiment, the lifting component 80 is a hydraulic push rod or a pneumatic push rod, with its upper and lower ends hinged to the machine head 30 and the base 10, respectively.

[0031] In this embodiment, the body 20 is provided with a locking rod 21; the head 30 is provided with a locking block 31 facing downwards; the locking block 31 is provided with a locking hook 311; the locking rod 21 is provided with a locking part 211, and one side of the locking part 211 is a notch-shaped unlocking groove 212; rotating the locking rod 21 can cause the locking hook 311 to be hooked onto the locking part 211, so that the head 30 and the body 20 are in a locked state; or, the unlocking groove 212 is aligned with the locking hook 311, so that the locking hook 311 can pass through the unlocking groove 212 and disengage from the locking rod 21, so that the head 30 and the body 20 are in an unlocked state.

[0032] By rotating the locking rod 21 and the locking block 31 to lock or unlock, a dual-state mechanical interlock between the machine head 30 and the machine body 20 is achieved. In the locked state, the locking hook 311 and the locking part 211 cooperate to completely prevent the machine head 30 from jumping up during operation. In the unlocked state, the notch provides space for the locking block 31 to disengage, which can complete the separation action of the machine head 30.

[0033] The device features two locking blocks 31 spaced apart; the locking part 211 and the unlocking slot are provided with two sets of locking blocks 31 corresponding to the two locking blocks 31. The double locking block 31 design ensures that the force at the hinge point is balanced, eliminating the sway of the machine head 30 caused by single-point locking, and achieving a symmetrical force distribution effect.

[0034] Furthermore, to facilitate the rotation of the locking lever 21, a handle 22 is connected to one side of the locking lever 21.

[0035] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications and substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
