[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0015] Example 1 Please see Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a technical solution for a mixing device for noodle production, comprising a base frame 1, a mixing cylinder 2 mounted on the base frame 1, a water inlet assembly mounted on the top of the mixing cylinder 2, and a feed pipe 14. The mixing cylinder 2 is mounted on the top of the base frame 1 and consists of a cylinder body 201, a front end cover 202, a rear end cover 203, and a rotating roller 4 mounted inside the cylinder body 201. The front end cover 202 and the rear end cover 203 are both mounted on the base frame 1, and the cylinder body 201 is mounted between the front end cover 202 and the rear end cover 203. The cylinder body 201 is detachably connected to the front end cover 202 and the rear end cover 203. The rotating roller 4 is equipped with a spiral conveying blade 5 and a mixing blade 6. The end of the rotating roller 4 is connected to a drive motor 3. The drive motor 3 is installed on one side of the front end cover 202. Multiple mixing blades 6 are provided on the rotating roller 4 and are arranged in a bidirectional threaded cross configuration. The top of the cylinder 201 is provided with an inlet hole 204 and a water inlet hole 205. The inlet hole 204 is located directly above the spiral conveying blade 5, and the water inlet hole 205 is located directly above the end of the mixing blade 6.

[0016] Specifically, during the dough kneading process, flour is added through the inlet 204 of the cylinder 201, and water is introduced through the water inlet 205. Then, the drive motor 3 is started, which drives the rotating roller 4 to rotate. The rotating roller 4 drives the spiral conveyor blade 5 and the mixing blade 6 to rotate. The rotation of the spiral conveyor blade 5 transports the flour to one side of the spiral conveyor blade 5. The flour and water are then mixed and rapidly stirred by the mixing blade 6 to form dough flakes. During the stirring process, since the mixing blade 6 is arranged in a double spiral cross, the dough flakes are not only stirred evenly but also move inside the cylinder 201. In this design, the edge of the mixing blade 6 abuts against the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 2, so the flour flakes will not stick to the wall inside the cylinder 201, allowing the flour flakes to be completely discharged and preventing the flour flakes from remaining inside the cylinder 201, which could lead to deterioration and blockage.

[0017] In use, the combination of mixing blades 6 and spiral conveying blades 5 allows for simultaneous mixing and conveying, and the overall structure is compact, reducing the volume of the mixing device.

[0018] Example 2 Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The present invention provides a technical solution for a mixing device for noodle production. Based on embodiment 1, it further includes an end cap disassembly assembly installed on the base frame 1. The end cap disassembly assembly consists of a fixed base 8, a rotating locking pin 9, and a limiting nut 10. An end cap groove 7 is provided on the outer wall of the rear end cap 203. The bottom of the fixed base 8 is installed on the base frame 1. The rotating locking pin 9 is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed base 8. The rotating locking pin 9 is engaged with the end cap groove 7. The end of the rotating locking pin 9 is threadedly connected to the limiting nut 10. The limiting nut 10 abuts against the end wall of the end cap groove 7. A discharge trough 12 is provided on the bottom side of the outer wall of the tail of the cylinder 201. A discharge hopper 11 is provided on the outer side of the discharge trough 12. The top of the discharge hopper 11 is open.

[0019] Specifically, every once in a while, some flour lint will stick to the rotating roller 4. This flour lint is not easy to remove, so it needs to be cleaned regularly. When cleaning, the mixing cylinder 2 needs to be disassembled. During disassembly, the limiting nut 10 is rotated to separate the limiting nut 10 from the rotating pin 9. Then the rotating pin 9 is disengaged from the end cover groove 7. Then the rear end cover 203 is removed. Then the cylinder 201 can be separated from the front end cover 202, thus completing the separation of the mixing cylinder 2. This disassembly process is relatively simple, convenient for disassembly and assembly, and convenient for cleaning the flour lint on the rotating roller 4.

[0020] Example 3 Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The present invention provides a technical solution for a mixing device for noodle production. Based on embodiment 2, it further includes a feeding mechanism consisting of a fixed bracket 13, a feeding pipe 14, a sliding seat 16, a fixed rod 17, and an adjusting assembly. The bottoms of the fixed bracket 13 and the fixed rod 17 are both fixedly mounted on the base frame 1. The sliding seat 16 is slidably disposed on the fixed rod 17. The feeding pipe 14 is mounted on the sliding seat 16. The bottom of the sliding seat 16 is arc-shaped and fits against the outer wall of the cylinder 201. The bottom of the feeding pipe 14 is inserted into the inlet hole 204. The adjustment assembly consists of a rotating handle 18 and a connecting handle 19. One end of the connecting handle 19 is rotatably connected to the outside of the sliding seat 16, and the other end of the connecting handle 19 is rotatably connected to the rotating handle 18. The bottom of the rotating handle 18 is rotatably connected to the outside of the fixed bracket 13. A water inlet assembly is provided on the sliding seat 16. The water inlet assembly consists of a water inlet pipe connector 20, an internal through groove 21, and a drain end 22. The water inlet pipe connector 20 is connected to one end of the internal through groove 21, and the drain end 22 is installed on the other end of the internal through groove 21. The bottom of the drain end 22 is located inside the water inlet hole 205.

[0021] Specifically, flour is added through the feed pipe 14 on the sliding seat 16, while the water inlet assembly connects the water inlet pipe connector 20 to an external water tank. External drinking water passes through the water inlet pipe connector 20, through the internal channel 21, and finally exits from the drain end 22. Water then enters the cylinder 201 through the water inlet hole 205 for both water supply and feeding. When the mixing cylinder 2 needs to be disassembled, the water inlet assembly gets stuck on it, making disassembly difficult. Therefore, the sliding seat 16 is separated from the mixing cylinder 2 by adjusting the assembly. This is done by moving the rotating handle 18, which in turn moves the connecting handle 19. Because the sliding seat 16 slides on the fixed rod 17, it can separate from the mixing cylinder 2, facilitating the disassembly of the cylinder 201. This further facilitates the disassembly of the cylinder 201 and improves the efficiency of regular cleaning.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
