Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beverage processing, and more specifically, to a preparation device for producing dairy beverages. Background Technology

[0002] Beverages are water-based liquid foods for human consumption, containing added sugar, acid, sweeteners, caffeine, flavorings, colorings, vitamins, minerals, and other ingredients. During beverage production, meticulous preparation is essential to ensure product quality stability, high nutritional value, and optimized taste. Dairy beverages are a type of beverage that primarily uses milk or dairy products as raw materials and is produced through processes such as blending and sterilization. Due to their unique raw materials and nutritional characteristics, dairy beverages hold a place in the beverage market. Almond milk is a typical dairy beverage, carefully made primarily from almonds, water, and a suitable amount of sugar. Almond milk not only has a rich taste but also offers various health benefits, such as moisturizing the lungs and relieving phlegm, assisting in regulating blood lipids, preventing arteriosclerosis, lowering cholesterol levels, and enhancing the body's non-specific immune function. However, in the beverage preparation process, existing preparation devices cannot control the temperature during heating; excessively high temperatures can damage the chemical structure of the raw materials, affecting the quality of the final beverage. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a temperature-controlled preparation device.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN221386078U discloses a pigment preparation device, including a mixing tank, a heating chamber inside the mixing tank, a first heater fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mixing tank, a first heating tube inside the heating chamber, the first heater and the second heater heating the first heating tube and the second heating tube, and then starting a motor to drive the mixing shaft and the mixing paddle to rotate, thereby mixing the pigment raw materials.

[0004] Although this pigment preparation device can uniformly heat the pigment raw materials inside and out while stirring them, it can only heat them uniformly and cannot cool them during the heating process. This can cause the chemical structure or color of the raw materials to be damaged when the temperature is too high, thus affecting the quality of the final product.

[0005] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content

[0019] By utilizing the above technical solutions, this utility model, through the combined action of the mixing tank 3, heating chamber 4, temperature sensor 5, stirring mechanism 8, stirring paddle 9, scraper 10, heating pipe 13, and cooling pipe 14, can achieve temperature control of the almond milk mixture, enhance the flavor of the almond milk, and stir the almond milk mixture to ensure uniform mixing of the raw materials, thus satisfying the richness of the almond milk's taste. Simultaneously, it scrapes off the almond milk on the inner wall of the mixing tank 3 to prevent scorching during heating, which would affect the flavor of the almond milk. The combined action of the heating chamber, heating pipe 13, and cooling pipe 14 enables real-time monitoring and adjustment of the temperature of the almond milk mixture, ensuring temperature stability during production and enhancing the flavor. The stirring mechanism 8 further stirs the almond milk mixture, ensuring uniform mixing of the raw materials, thus satisfying the richness of the almond milk's taste, and simultaneously scrapes off the almond milk on the inner wall of the mixing tank 3 to prevent scorching during heating, which would affect the flavor of the almond milk.

[0020] It should be explained that the temperature sensor 5 is electrically connected to the control panel 6. The working principle and structure of the temperature sensor 5 are existing technologies, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0021] Furthermore, the viscosity detection device for milk-containing beverages of this invention can not only detect the viscosity of milk-containing beverages, but also adapt to other liquids (such as paints, juices, etc.) by changing the parameters of the temperature sensor 5, stirring mechanism 8, heating tube 13 and cooling tube 14 according to different parameters, and realize temperature control during the heating process of other liquids, thereby improving the richness of the taste of other liquids.

[0022] In one embodiment, the heating chamber 4 is provided with a heating pipe 13 and a cooling pipe 14 inside, and the heating pipe 13 and the cooling pipe 14 are orderly wrapped around the outer wall of the stirring tank 3, thereby realizing real-time monitoring and adjustment of the temperature of the almond milk mixture, ensuring the temperature stability of the almond milk during the production process and improving the flavor of the almond milk.

[0023] It should be explained that the heating tube 13 is a device that converts electrical energy into heat energy. It is usually made of metal materials (such as stainless steel, copper, nickel, etc.) and wound on an insulating material. When current passes through the heating tube, the heating tube generates heat due to resistance, thereby heating the fluid around it. The cooling tube 14 is a device used to cool the fluid. It is usually made of metal (such as copper, aluminum) and has good thermal conductivity. The cooling tube 14 can be cooled by air cooling or water cooling. Water cooling is used here. The heating tube 13 and the cooling tube 14 are electrically connected to the control panel 6.

During the heating process of the stirring tank 3, the almond milk inside is heated. The temperature sensor 5 monitors the temperature change in real time. The suitable temperature for almond milk is between 60°C and 100°C. If the temperature exceeds this range, the cooling tube 14 is controlled and activated under the action of the control panel 6, and the stirring tank 3 is cooled and regulated under the action of the cooling tube 14, so that the stirring tank 3 is at a suitable temperature. Within this temperature range, the flavor and nutrients of the almond milk can be maintained.

A stirring paddle 9 is connected to the bottom of the second rotating shaft 8033 through the fixed rod 11 and the nut 12, thereby realizing the stirring of the almond milk mixture, so that the raw materials are mixed evenly, satisfying the richness of the almond milk taste, and scraping off the almond milk on the inner wall of the mixing tank 3 to prevent the almond milk on the inner wall from burning during the heating process, which would affect the flavor of the almond milk.

[0026] The working principle of the stirring mechanism 8 is as follows: Under the control panel 6, motor 1 8011 and motor 2 8012 are controlled and started. Under the action of the output shaft of motor 1 8011, pulley 1 8013 is driven to rotate. Under the action of belt 8014, pulley 1 8013 rotates, which in turn drives pulley 2 8015 to rotate.

During the rotation of movable rod 8023, scraper 10 rotates. Under the action of the output shaft of motor 2 8012, rotating shaft 1 8016 rotates. During the rotation of rotating shaft 1 8016, bevel gear 1 8031 ​​rotates. During the rotation of bevel gear 1 8031, bevel gear 2 8032, which meshes on both sides, rotates. During the rotation of bevel gear 2 8032, rotating shaft 2 rotates. During the rotation of rotating shaft 2, stirring paddle 9 rotates. Simultaneously, under the action of the fixing rod 11 and the nut 12, the stirring paddle 9 and the scraper 10 can be replaced. During replacement, the operator aligns the hexagonal end of the hex wrench with the nut 12 and rotates the hex wrench. Utilizing the cooperation between the hex wrench and the nut 12, the nut 12 is driven to move counterclockwise, separating it from the fixing rod 11. The fixing rod 11 can then be removed to replace the stirring paddle 9 and the scraper 10. After replacement, the fixing rod 11 is inserted back in, the hexagonal end of the hex wrench is aligned with the nut 12, and the hex wrench is rotated, driving the nut 12 to move clockwise, thus tightening the nut 12 onto the fixing rod 11.
