Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of noodle production technology, and in particular to a flour mixing device for noodle production. Background Technology

[0002] In the noodle production process, the mixing and stirring of flour and water is a crucial initial step.

[0003] According to prior art, a flour mixing device for noodle production is disclosed, including a support foot and a mixing mechanism, a feeding mechanism and a powder dispersing mechanism. The top of the support foot is fixedly connected to a body, and a protective cover is hinged to the rear side of the top of the body. The mixing mechanism includes a motor, which is fixedly connected to the middle of the bottom of the body. The motor has an output shaft, and a mixing shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the motor output shaft. A mixing blade is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer side of the mixing shaft.

[0004] First, flour is usually fed into a centralized hopper, which can easily cause it to accumulate in the mixing drum. When it comes into contact with water, it quickly forms lumps of varying sizes (raw flour clumps). Current technology feeds the flour by vibrating a sieve, which promotes vibration through collision and compression, complicating the structure. Second, the presence of many moving parts makes it easy for impurities and debris to contaminate the flour. Water is often added by single-point or multi-point direct spraying, which cannot achieve large-area, atomized, and uniform water supply. This results in localized areas of excessive moisture while other areas remain dry, exacerbating the clumping phenomenon.

[0005] Therefore, we propose a flour mixing device for noodle production. Utility Model Content

[0006] The present invention mainly addresses the technical problem of deficiencies in the above-mentioned methods of supplementing flour and water, and provides a flour mixing device for noodle production.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a flour mixing device for noodle production, comprising: A mixing cylinder, wherein a stirring motor and a hopper are fixedly installed on the top of the mixing cylinder, and a stirring rod for stirring is installed on the output shaft of the stirring motor; The feeding structure is set inside the mixing drum for adding water and replenishing flour. The feeding structure includes a dispersing screen, a guide fluid, a discharge trough, and a water replenishment ring. The dispersing screen is fixedly installed with the mixing drum. The guide fluid and the water replenishment ring are both fixedly connected to the dispersing screen. The dispersing screen has several discharge troughs. The guide fluid can guide the flour fed into the hopper toward the discharge troughs.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the dispersing screen forms a cylinder with an open top, the dispersing screen is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mixing cylinder, the water replenishment ring is fixedly installed on the outer bottom surface of the dispersing screen, and the guide fluid is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the dispersing screen.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide fluid is a frustum, with the larger end of the guide fluid fixedly installed with the dispersing screen, and the guide fluid and the dispersing screen being concentric.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the water replenishment ring is annular, hollow inside, and has several spray holes evenly distributed on its lower end face. A water pipe is fixedly installed on the water replenishment ring, extending to the outside of the mixing cylinder and connected to a water source.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the material discharge trough is a fan-shaped trough that penetrates the bottom of the dispersing screen. The material discharge trough is located between the guide fluid and the inner wall of the dispersing screen, and there is a margin between two adjacent material discharge troughs.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the output shaft of the stirring motor is equipped with a stirring shaft via a coupling, and the stirring shaft is welded with several stirring rods, the stirring rods being V-shaped rods.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the upper end of the stirring rod is welded with blades, and the blades are Z-shaped rods.

[0014] This utility model provides a flour mixing device for noodle production. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. This flour mixing device for noodle production physically disperses the centrally fed flour through a dispersion screen, a guide fluid, and a uniformly distributed drop trough, causing it to fall evenly in the form of multiple dispersed "powder curtains." This breaks the pattern of direct flour accumulation and greatly reduces the possibility of large lumps forming upon contact with water from a physical structure perspective. Secondly, it does not produce metal fragments. The innovative annular water replenishment ring design, combined with the evenly distributed spray holes on its bottom surface, can form a uniform annular water curtain or water mist zone above the flour falling area. This allows the flour to fully and evenly contact the fine water during the falling process, achieving preliminary pre-mixing and avoiding the clumping problem caused by excessive local water volume, thus achieving uniform atomized water supply.

[0015] 2. This flour mixing device for noodle production features a unique combination design of a V-shaped mixing rod and Z-shaped blades. The V-shaped rod can more effectively knead, press, and tumble the dough at the bottom when rotating; while the Z-shaped blades above generate turbulent airflow below the dispersing sieve, which can further disperse the falling flour on the one hand, and drive the rapid exchange of dry and wet flour on the other hand, making the mixing more thorough and efficient, and significantly shortening the time required to reach the ideal dough state.

[0016] 3. This flour mixing device for noodle production integrates the entire feeding structure and mixing mechanism into a mixing drum. The layout is compact and reasonable. The dispersion and falling of flour, the uniform spraying of water, and the powerful mixing of the mixer work together to form a highly efficient flour-water mixing system with a high degree of automation, which can stably produce high-quality dough with uniform texture.

[0019] A flour mixing device for noodle production, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: A mixing cylinder 10 is provided, and a stirring motor 11 and a hopper 12 are fixedly installed on the top of the mixing cylinder 10. A stirring rod 13 for stirring is installed on the output shaft of the stirring motor 11. like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the feeding structure, located inside the mixing drum 10, is used for adding water and replenishing flour. The feeding structure includes a dispersing screen 20, a guide fluid 21, a discharge chute 22, and a water replenishment ring 23. The dispersing screen 20 is fixedly installed to the mixing drum 10. The guide fluid 21 and the water replenishment ring 23 are both fixedly connected to the dispersing screen 20. The dispersing screen 20 has several discharge chute 22s. The guide fluid 21 guides the flour fed from the hopper 12 towards the discharge chute 22s. The dispersing screen 20 forms a cylinder with an open top and is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mixing drum 10. The water replenishment ring 23 is fixedly installed on the outer bottom surface of the dispersing screen 20. The guide fluid 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mixing drum 10. The guide 21 is a frustum, and the larger end of the guide 21 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the dispersing screen 20. The guide 21 and the dispersing screen 20 are concentric. The water supply ring 23 is annular and hollow inside. Several spray holes are evenly opened on the lower end face of the water supply ring 23. A water pipe 24 is fixedly installed on the water supply ring 23. The water pipe 24 extends to the outside of the mixing cylinder 10 and is connected to the water source. The discharge chute 22 is a fan-shaped chute that penetrates the bottom of the dispersing screen 20. The discharge chute 22 is located between the guide 21 and the inner wall of the dispersing screen 20. There is a margin between two adjacent discharge chute 22. In this scheme, flour is fed into the mixing drum 10 through the hopper 12. The flour is guided by the circumferential surface of the guide fluid 21 and falls evenly into the dropping trough 22. The falling flour can be dispersed by passing through the grid formed by two adjacent dropping troughs 22 and falling to the bottom of the mixing drum 10. Water is added to the water pipe 24 by a water pump or manually. The water flows into the water replenishment ring 23 and is evenly sprayed out through multiple spray holes at its bottom. When mixing flour and water, it can avoid the flour or water from being added in a concentrated manner and causing clumping.

[0020] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the output shaft of the stirring motor 11 is connected to a stirring shaft via a coupling. Several stirring rods 13 are welded to the stirring shaft. The stirring rods 13 are V-shaped rods. Blades 14 are welded to the upper end of the stirring rods 13. The blades 14 are Z-shaped rods. As a supplement to the above solution, the stirring motor 11 drives the stirring shaft to rotate, and the stirring shaft drives multiple stirring rods 13 and the blades 14 at their top to move in a circular motion. The stirring rods 13 can knead and mix flour and water, while the blades 14 can create turbulent airflow at the bottom of the dispersing screen 20, which helps the flour falling from the discharge trough 22 to remain loose.

[0021] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the stirring motor 11 is started first, which drives the stirring rod 13 and the blade 14 to rotate inside the mixing cylinder 10.

[0022] Flour feeding process: The required flour for production is fed into the top hopper 12. After falling into the dispersing screen 20, the flour first lands on the conical guide fluid 21. The inclined surface of the guide fluid 21 naturally and evenly guides the flour to the surrounding area, dispersing it into an annular region formed by the inner wall of the dispersing screen 20 and the side of the guide fluid 21. Subsequently, the flour falls downwards through multiple circumferentially evenly distributed fan-shaped drop troughs 22. This process transforms centralized feeding into multiple dispersed, curtain-like downward flows, achieving initial dispersion of the flour.

[0023] Water supply process: Simultaneously (or slightly later than flour addition), water is introduced into the water supply ring 23 through water pipe 24. The water flow is evenly distributed within the annular water supply ring 23 and sprayed downwards from the dense spray holes at its bottom, forming a fine, annular water curtain. As the falling flour "curtain" passes through this water curtain, each part of the flour can come into full and even contact with the water, achieving initial wetting and mixing, and preventing dry flour from clumping at the source.

[0024] Mixing process: The premixed powder and water fall to the bottom of the mixing drum 10. At this time, the high-speed rotating V-shaped stirring rod 13 powerfully shears, kneads, and tumbles the material, quickly kneading the initially moistened mixture into a uniform dough. Simultaneously, the Z-shaped blades 14 above, as they rotate, create a turbulent airflow field below the dispersing sieve 20. This airflow serves two purposes: firstly, it blows away the flour continuously falling from the feed chute 22, keeping it dispersed; secondly, it promotes airflow within the drum, breaking up any small clumps of dry powder and fully mixing them with the moistened portion, ensuring a high-quality, seamless mixing of the final dough.

[0025] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
