Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of ingredient mixing equipment, and specifically relates to a flavoring ingredient mixing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the tobacco production process, tobacco flavorings can eliminate the differences between different grades of tobacco leaves, purposefully increase and enhance aroma, make the tobacco flavor fuller, reduce dryness, eliminate roughness, improve the smoking experience, give cigarettes characteristic aromas, and increase their appeal to consumers. There are many types of tobacco flavorings. Through research on the aroma characteristics and components of tobacco leaves and tobacco smoke, compounds are analyzed from the smoke, and key components affecting aroma are identified to form the formulation of tobacco flavorings.
[0003] The formulation of tobacco flavorings requires precise control of the proportions of various raw materials. The existing flavoring process generally relies on manual preparation, with staff guiding the materials on a weighing platform. However, when there are too many types of raw materials, it is necessary to manually take different raw materials for preparation. After adding one type of raw material, the raw material is placed in its original position before taking the raw material container for the next type of raw material. This results in a large workload and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention addresses the problem of high workload and low efficiency in the existing process of preparing tobacco flavorings due to the large amount of raw materials and the manual preparation method. It provides a flavoring preparation device that adjusts the position of different raw material tanks by driving a turntable to rotate, and drives a limiting cylinder to slide the preparation barrel to correspond with the corresponding raw material tank, thereby realizing the feeding of different raw materials and completing the preparation process. This effectively improves the efficiency of flavoring preparation and reduces the workload of the flavoring preparation process.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A flavoring ingredient mixing device includes a base and a housing fixedly mounted on the base. A turntable is rotatably disposed within the housing, and multiple raw material containers are arranged on the turntable. The lower outlet of each raw material container is located below the turntable. A first driving mechanism is disposed at the top of the housing to drive the turntable to rotate. A limiting cylinder is slidably disposed on the base, and a mixing container is disposed within the limiting cylinder. An observation hole is opened on one side of the lower end of the housing, and the limiting cylinder corresponds to the observation hole. A weighing device is disposed on the outside of the base, and the weighing device corresponds to the observation hole. The limiting cylinder is connected to a second driving mechanism, which drives the limiting cylinder to slide above the base and the weighing device. The weighing device is used to weigh the mixing container. By driving the turntable to rotate and the limiting cylinder to slide, the mixing container corresponds to different raw material containers, thereby adding different raw materials into the mixing container to achieve flavoring mixing.
[0007] Preferably, the raw material tank is provided with a feeding device, which includes a feeding cylinder on the raw material tank and a proportional valve at the outlet of the raw material tank. The feeding cylinder drives the raw material in the raw material tank to flow out from its outlet, and the proportional valve ensures accurate feeding.
[0008] Preferably, the upper side of the weighing device is at the same height as the upper side of the base, ensuring that the mixing barrel slides smoothly between the two.
[0009] Preferably, the first driving mechanism includes a motor and a drive shaft. The motor is fixedly installed at the top of the housing, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the drive shaft, and the lower end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to a turntable. The motor drives the turntable to rotate through the drive shaft.
[0010] Preferably, the raw material tanks are divided into multiple groups, and the multiple groups of raw material tanks are arranged radially along the turntable. Each group includes multiple raw material tanks, and the multiple raw material tanks are arranged in a ring, making full use of the turntable space and placing more raw material tanks. Each raw material tank contains different flavoring raw materials, which is suitable for flavoring formulation work with a large variety of raw materials.
[0011] Preferably, the raw material tanks are divided into multiple groups, and the multiple groups of raw material tanks are arranged in a ring around the turntable. Each group includes multiple raw material tanks, and the multiple raw material tanks are arranged radially along the turntable. The raw materials in each group of raw material tanks are of the same type, and multiple flavoring ingredients can be prepared at the same time.
[0012] Preferably, the limiting cylinders are configured as multiple and fixedly connected in sequence, and each limiting cylinder is provided with a mixing barrel. The distance between two adjacent raw material tanks in each group of raw material tanks is the same as the distance between two adjacent mixing barrels. At the same time, raw materials are added to multiple mixing barrels to realize flavoring.
[0013] Preferably, the upper part of the shell is provided with a cover, which can be opened to facilitate the replenishment of raw materials into the raw material tank.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model through the above technical solution are as follows:
[0015] 1. This utility model drives the turntable to rotate through the first driving mechanism, so that different raw material tanks correspond to the mixing barrels above and below to add different raw materials to the mixing barrels, thereby realizing the flavor mixing work without manual intervention, reducing the workload of flavor mixing work and improving mixing efficiency.
[0016] 2. This utility model uses a second driving mechanism to drive the limiting cylinder to slide the mixing barrel, so that the mixing barrel and the corresponding raw material tank are aligned vertically, thereby realizing the addition of different raw materials.
[0017] 3. When this utility model is used for flavoring ingredients with a large variety of raw materials, the number of raw material tanks set on the turntable is relatively large. That is, each group of raw material tanks is arranged in a circular array. The group of raw material tanks on the outer side of the turntable has more raw material tanks than the group on the inner side. Different types of raw materials are placed in each raw material tank. The turntable rotates and the mixing barrel slides to realize the vertical correspondence between the raw material tanks and the mixing barrels corresponding to different raw materials, thereby realizing flavoring ingredients and improving the mixing efficiency.
[0018] When working with flavoring ingredients with a relatively small number of raw materials, the same type of raw materials are placed in the raw material tanks arranged radially on the turntable. By driving the turntable to rotate, multiple raw material tanks corresponding to the same type of raw materials are positioned above and below multiple ingredient barrels, thereby simultaneously mixing flavoring ingredients in multiple ingredient barrels.
[0019] 4. This utility model uses a second driving mechanism to drive the limiting cylinder to slide, which in turn drives the mixing barrel inside to slide onto the weighing device for weighing and inspection, without the need for manual intervention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0027] like Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment provides a flavoring ingredient mixing device, including a base 1 and a housing 2 fixedly mounted on the base 1. A turntable 3 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 2, and multiple raw material tanks 4 are arranged on the turntable 3. The turntable 3 drives the multiple raw material tanks 4 to rotate. The discharge port at the lower end of the raw material tank 4 is located below the turntable 3. A feeding device is provided on the raw material tank 4. The feeding device includes a feeding cylinder mounted on the raw material tank and a proportional valve mounted on the discharge port of the raw material tank. The feeding cylinder is model PCA / 702. Specifically, the feeding cylinder is used to drive the material in the raw material tank 4 to be discharged from the outlet of the raw material tank 4. The proportional valve adjusts the outlet size and ensures accurate feeding quantity and accurate ingredient ratio. The proportional valve is a high-frequency pneumatic proportional fine-tuning valve of model R202A540L0V00F1. Through the cooperation of the proportional valve and the feeding cylinder, the feeding accuracy of the raw material tank 3 is ensured to reach 0.1μl.
[0028] A first driving mechanism is provided at the top of the housing 2 to drive the turntable 3 to rotate; for example Figure 2 As shown, the first driving mechanism includes a motor 10 and a drive shaft 11. The motor 10 is fixedly installed at the top inside the housing 2. The output end of the motor 10 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 11. The lower end of the drive shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the turntable 3. The motor 10 drives the drive shaft 11 to rotate, thereby causing the turntable 3 to rotate.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, a cover 12 is provided on the upper part of the shell 2. By opening the cover 12, the raw material tank 4 inside the shell 2 can be replenished with raw materials.
[0030] A limiting cylinder 5 is slidably mounted on the base 1. A mixing barrel 6 is provided inside the limiting cylinder 5. An observation hole 7 is provided on one side of the lower end of the shell 2. The limiting cylinder 5 corresponds to the observation hole 7. The addition of raw materials in the mixing barrel 6 can be observed through the observation hole 7. The limiting cylinder 5 enters and exits the shell 2 through the observation hole 7. A weighing device 8 is provided on the outside of the base 1. The weighing device 8 is used to weigh the mixing barrel 6. The weighing device 6 is a LA204E / A electronic analytical balance with a strength of 0.01%. That is, the limiting cylinder 5 drives the mixing barrel 6 inside it to slide above the weighing device 8, and the mixing barrel 6 and the flavoring raw materials added inside it are weighed. The upper side of the weighing device 8 is at the same height as the upper side of the base 1. There is a gap between the lower side of the limiting cylinder 5 and the upper side of the base 1. The weighing device 8 corresponds to the observation hole 7. The limiting cylinder 5 is connected to a second driving mechanism 9. The second driving mechanism 9 is used to drive the limiting cylinder 5 to slide on the upper side of the base 1 and the weighing device 8. The second driving mechanism 9 is a cylinder. The cylinder is fixedly installed on the base 1. The output end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to the limiting cylinder 5.
[0031] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 2-3As shown, the raw material tanks 4 are divided into multiple groups, which are arranged radially along the turntable 3. Each group includes multiple raw material tanks 4, which are arranged in a ring. At this time, there is one limiting cylinder 5. Different raw materials are placed in the multiple raw material tanks 4. During operation, the limiting cylinder 5 is driven by the cylinder to slide, so that the mixing barrel 6 corresponds vertically to the group of raw material tanks 4 corresponding to the raw material to be added. Then, the motor 10 drives the turntable 3 to rotate until the corresponding raw material tank 4 corresponds vertically to the mixing barrel 6. The feeding cylinder and the proportional valve work together to achieve precise feeding of the raw material, and the addition of the raw material to the mixing barrel 6 is completed. Repeat the above process to complete the flavoring mixing. Then, the cylinder drives the limiting cylinder 5 to slide through the observation hole 7 to reach the weighing device 8 to weigh the mixing barrel 6 and the raw materials inside.
[0032] As one possible implementation method, such as Figure 4-5 As shown, the raw material tanks 4 are divided into multiple groups, which are arranged in a ring around the turntable 3. Each group includes multiple raw material tanks 4, which are arranged radially along the turntable 3. Multiple limiting cylinders 5 are provided and fixedly connected in sequence. Each limiting cylinder 5 contains a dispensing bucket 6. The distance between two adjacent raw material tanks 4 in each group is the same as the distance between two adjacent dispensing buckets 6. The same type of raw material is placed in each group of multiple raw material tanks 4, and different types of raw material are placed in the multiple groups of raw material tanks 4, i.e., the raw material tanks 4 corresponding to each other along the turntable 3 are... Depending on the raw materials, during operation, the cylinder drives multiple limiting cylinders 5 to slide, so that multiple ingredient barrels 6 correspond vertically to multiple raw material tanks 4 in the same group. Then, the motor 10 drives the turntable 3 to rotate until the raw material tank 4 of the corresponding raw material corresponds vertically to the ingredient barrel 6. Then, the feeding cylinder and the proportional valve work together to add raw materials to multiple ingredient barrels 6 simultaneously. Repeating the above process completes the flavoring preparation. Then, the cylinder drives multiple limiting cylinders 5 to slide sequentially through the observation hole 7 to reach the weighing device 8, and weighs multiple ingredient barrels 6 and the raw materials inside them sequentially. After weighing, the ingredient barrels 6 are taken out and placed on one side.
