Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production equipment technology, specifically a mixing and grinding device for beverage production. Background Technology

[0002] Beverages are liquids intended for human consumption. They are pre-packaged in fixed quantities and intended for direct consumption or for mixing or brewing with water in a certain proportion. The ethanol content (by mass) is no more than 0.5%. Beverages can also be in the form of concentrated beverages or solid forms, and have functions such as quenching thirst and replenishing energy.

[0003] Currently, existing mixing and grinding devices process various raw materials by mixing and grinding, which is usually done on different machines. This is cumbersome and inefficient, and there is no convenient collection device. Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a mixing and grinding device that integrates collection and mixing / grinding. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a mixing and grinding device for beverage production, so as to solve the technical problem that mixing and grinding need to be carried out separately in a mixing and grinding device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mixing and grinding device for beverage production, comprising a grinding mill, a mixing tank disposed above the grinding mill, a fixing block disposed on the back of the mixing tank, the mixing tank being fixedly connected to the fixing block, a driving mechanism disposed on the back of the fixing block, the driving mechanism comprising a motor, a connecting rod disposed on one side of the motor, a large gear disposed on one side of the connecting rod, a small gear disposed above the large gear, the large gear and the small gear being connected by a chain for transmission, and the mixing tank being rotated and mixed by the driving mechanism.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, and by vertically setting the mixing tank above the grinding mill to form a continuous operation process, the material can enter the feed inlet of the grinding mill directly from the mixing tank by gravity, eliminating the material transfer steps required by traditional separate equipment, and significantly improving production efficiency. At the same time, the drive mechanism consisting of motor → connecting rod → large gear → chain → small gear stably transmits rotational power to the mixing tank through the fixed block, ensuring that the mixing action is uniform and sufficient.

[0007] Furthermore, the mixing tank is provided with cover plates on both sides, and the grinding mill includes a feed inlet, with the cover plates on both sides having a hinged structure.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the hinged cover plates on both sides of the mixing tank support quick opening and closing, greatly simplifying the feeding and cleaning operation process and avoiding time waste caused by disassembling the tank. At the same time, the hinged structure of the cover plate can maintain the sealing of the feeding port and prevent dust from escaping and polluting the environment during the mixing process.

[0009] Furthermore, the pinion is rotatably connected to the fixed block via a rotating rod, which is extendable and retractable.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the telescopic characteristics of the rotating rod allow it to flexibly adapt to the installation position of mixing tanks of different specifications, enhancing the equipment's compatibility with diverse working conditions. At the same time, this design compensates for assembly errors by adjusting the length of the rotating rod, ensuring the meshing accuracy of the pinion and gear and avoiding problems such as tooth skipping or power loss caused by chain loosening.

[0011] Furthermore, a fixed plate is provided on the back of the grinding mill, and a limit ring is provided at the connection between the rotating rod and the fixed plate, and the limit ring is threadedly connected to the rotating rod.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection design between the limiting ring and the rotating rod allows for quick locking of the rotating rod's extension and retraction length through a screwing operation, ensuring the stability of the power transmission path. Simultaneously, the fixed plate provides a rigid support foundation for the rotating rod and the limiting ring, distributing the radial load generated by the gear transmission.

[0013] Furthermore, the grinding mill includes a discharge port, and a collecting device is provided below the discharge port.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the direct collection device below the discharge port allows the ground powder to be instantly collected in an independent container, completely solving the problem of dust flying caused by traditional open-mouth material collection. At the same time, the vertical discharge path avoids powder residue in the pipeline, ensuring the integrity of each batch of materials.

[0015] Furthermore, the collecting device includes a mounting ring, the inner wall of which is provided with a plurality of hanging pins for fixing.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, several hanging pins on the inner wall of the mounting ring form a multi-point snap-fit ​​structure, which achieves seamless fixation between the collection device and the main body of the equipment through mechanical interlocking, preventing leakage caused by container displacement during material receiving. At the same time, the elastic contact design of the hanging pins is adapted to the edges of containers of different thicknesses, ensuring the reliability of fixation while avoiding scratching the surface of the container.

[0017] Furthermore, the fixing plate is fixedly connected to the grinding mill, while the collecting device is movable.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the movable setting of the collection device allows it to be directly transferred to the filling station as an independent container, eliminating the risk of loss due to secondary handling of powder in traditional processes. At the same time, the integral fixed structure of the fixed plate and the grinding mill provides a stable base for the movable collection device, avoiding equipment displacement caused by frequent pick-up and drop operations.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages: This invention achieves continuous operation through the vertical layout of the mixing tank and the grinding mill. The material falls directly into the feed inlet of the grinding mill from the bottom of the mixing tank by gravity, avoiding material transfer losses in traditional separate equipment. At the same time, the motor drives the large gear through the connecting rod, which drives the small gear and the telescopic rotating rod through the chain. Finally, the fixed block transmits stable rotational power to the mixing tank, ensuring the uniformity of material mixing. The hinged cover simplifies the feeding and cleaning operation of the mixing tank and maintains the tank's airtightness. Meanwhile, the mixed material falls into the grinding mill without obstruction, avoiding residue. A movable collection device is set below the discharge port. Its mounting ring is quickly fixed by the hanging pin on the inner wall to prevent the container from shifting during powder collection. The telescopic design of the rotating rod adapts to the transmission distance deviation, and the threaded locking function of the limit ring ensures the meshing accuracy of the gear chain.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0023] In this embodiment: A mixing and grinding device for beverage production, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the system includes a grinding mill 1, a mixing tank 3 mounted above the grinding mill 1, a fixing block 13 mounted on the back of the mixing tank 3, and the mixing tank 3 and the fixing block 13 are fixedly connected. A drive mechanism is mounted on the back of the fixing block 13. The drive mechanism includes a motor 6, a connecting rod 7 mounted on one side of the motor 6, a large gear 8 mounted on one side of the connecting rod 7, and a small gear 10 mounted above the large gear 8. The large gear 8 and the small gear 10 are connected by a chain 9. The mixing tank 3 achieves rotational mixing through the drive mechanism. By vertically mounting the mixing tank 3 above the grinding mill 1, a continuous operation process is formed. The material can directly enter the feed inlet 5 of the grinding mill 1 from the mixing tank 3 by gravity, eliminating the material transfer steps required by traditional separate equipment and significantly improving production efficiency. At the same time, the drive mechanism, consisting of the motor 6 → connecting rod 7 → large gear 8 → chain 9 → small gear 10, stably transmits the rotational power to the mixing tank 3 through the fixing block 13, ensuring uniform and sufficient mixing. The compact gear chain drive design reduces the equipment height occupation and is suitable for production lines with limited space.

[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The mixing tank 3 is equipped with cover plates 4 on both sides. The grinding mill 1 includes a feed inlet 5. The cover plates 4 on both sides are hinged. The hinged cover plates 4 on both sides of the mixing tank 3 support quick opening and closing, greatly simplifying the feeding and cleaning process and avoiding time waste caused by disassembling the tank. At the same time, the hinged structure of the cover plates 4 can maintain the sealing of the feed inlet and prevent dust from escaping and polluting the environment during the mixing process. The straight-through design allows the mixed material to fall into the feed inlet 5 of the grinding mill 1 without obstruction, avoiding the risk of cross-contamination caused by residual material accumulation and meeting the high hygiene standards of beverage production. See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The pinion 10 is rotatably connected to the fixed block 13 via a rotating rod 11. The rotating rod 11 is telescopic, and its telescopic characteristics allow it to flexibly adapt to the installation positions of mixing tanks 3 of different specifications, enhancing the equipment's compatibility with diverse working conditions. At the same time, this design compensates for assembly errors by adjusting the length of the rotating rod 11, ensuring the meshing accuracy between the pinion 10 and the large gear 8, and avoiding problems such as tooth skipping or power loss caused by loose chain 9. The rotating connection structure between the rotating rod 11 and the fixed block 13 reduces the impact of abnormal vibration on the drive system and extends the equipment's lifespan.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4A fixed plate 2 is provided on the back of the grinding mill 1. A limit ring 12 is provided at the connection between the rotating rod 11 and the fixed plate 2. The limit ring 12 is threadedly connected to the rotating rod 11. The threaded connection design of the limit ring 12 and the rotating rod 11 allows the extension and retraction length of the rotating rod to be quickly locked by screwing, ensuring the stability of the power transmission path. At the same time, the fixed plate 2 provides a rigid support base for the rotating rod 11 and the limit ring 12, dispersing the radial load generated by the gear transmission. The fixed plate 2 and the grinding mill 1 are rigidly connected, which enhances the overall rigidity of the equipment and suppresses the impact of processing vibration on the mixing accuracy.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The grinding mill 1 includes a discharge port 17, and a collection device 14 is provided below the discharge port 17. The design of the collection device 14 directly connected to the discharge port 17 allows the ground powder to be instantly collected in an independent container, completely solving the problem of dust flying caused by traditional open-mouth material receiving. At the same time, the vertical discharge path avoids powder residue in the pipeline, ensuring the integrity of each batch of material. The movable setting of the collection device 14 facilitates the quick removal of finished products during production breaks, seamlessly connecting the filling process and improving the continuity of the production line.

[0027] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The collecting device 14 includes a mounting ring 16, and the inner wall of the mounting ring 16 is provided with several hanging pins 15 for fixing. The several hanging pins 15 on the inner wall of the mounting ring 16 form a multi-point snap-fit ​​structure, which achieves seamless fixing of the collecting device 14 to the main body of the equipment through mechanical interlocking, preventing leakage caused by container displacement during material receiving. At the same time, the elastic contact design of the hanging pins 15 is adapted to the edge of containers of different thicknesses, ensuring the reliability of fixing while avoiding scratching the surface of the container. The detachable mounting ring 16 is easy to disassemble and clean, solving the maintenance pain point of powder agglomeration clogging the gaps.

[0028] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The fixed plate 2 is fixedly connected to the grinding mill 1, and the collection device 14 is movable. The movable setting of the collection device 14 allows it to be directly transferred to the filling station as an independent container, eliminating the risk of loss due to secondary handling of powder in the traditional process. At the same time, the integral fixed structure of the fixed plate 2 and the grinding mill 1 provides a stable base for the movable collection device, avoiding equipment displacement caused by frequent pick-up and drop operations. The modular design supports the replacement of collection devices 14 with different capacities according to production needs, significantly improving the equipment's flexibility and adaptability.

[0029] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The material is first added to the mixing tank 3 through the hinged cover 4. After the cover 4 is closed, the motor 6 is started. The motor 6 drives the connecting rod 7 to rotate the large gear 8. Then, the transmission is transmitted to the small gear 10 through the chain 9. Finally, the power is transmitted to the mixing tank 3, which is fixed to the fixed block 13, through the telescopic rotating rod 11, so that it rotates to complete the material mixing. The mixed material falls into the feed port 5 of the grinding mill 1 below through the bottom. Grinding is completed in the grinding mill 1. The ground powder falls into the movable collection device 14 through the discharge port 17 at the bottom of the grinding mill 1. The mounting ring 16 at the top of the collection device 14 is quickly fixed by the hanging pin 15 on the inner wall to ensure the stability of the collection process. After the collection is completed, the collection device 14 can be easily removed to transfer the finished product.
