Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of kimchi production equipment, and in particular to a mixing equipment for kimchi production. Background Technology

[0002] In kimchi production, the ingredient mixing equipment plays a crucial role in the entire production process. By mixing various raw materials (such as vegetables, salt, seasonings, etc.), it ensures that every batch of kimchi has a consistent taste and flavor, which not only improves the efficiency and quality of kimchi production, but also meets the market's demand for product safety and diversification.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with authorization number CN221965115U, which discloses a vacuum mixing device for kimchi. The device includes a U-shaped mounting frame with a mounting cylinder between two vertical beams. A discharge mechanism is located on the top of the inner wall of the U-shaped mounting frame, comprising a mixing drum. The top of the mixing drum is tightly fitted to the bottom of the mounting cylinder. A sealing ring is bolted to the top of the mixing drum. Hydraulic cylinders are symmetrically positioned near the left and right sides below the mixing drum, and are bolted to the top of the inner wall of the U-shaped mounting frame. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder is bolted to the bottom of the mixing drum. This vacuum mixing device for kimchi improves worker efficiency by facilitating discharge through the discharge mechanism and by using a mixing mechanism to move the kimchi raw materials at the bottom of the mixing drum upwards, allowing for more even mixing.

[0004] The aforementioned vacuum mixing device for kimchi has the following shortcomings: the rotating rod and the stirring motor are coaxially fixedly connected, making it inconvenient to disassemble and assemble. During the kimchi production process, material residue will remain on the stirring rod, and the residue needs to be cleaned regularly. If disassembly and assembly are inconvenient, it will increase the difficulty of cleaning and may lead to unsanitary corners, thereby affecting food safety. Therefore, it is necessary to design a mixing device for kimchi production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a mixing device for kimchi production.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A mixing device for kimchi production includes a mixing box with a stirring blade inside. A stirring shaft is fixedly connected to the stirring blade. A mounting frame is mounted on the top of the stirring shaft, and a motor is housed within the mounting frame. The motor is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. An L-shaped plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft. Two positioning rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the L-shaped plate. The two positioning rods are fitted onto the same fixing block. The fixing block has two positioning holes that mate with the positioning rods. Insertion holes are provided on both sides of the fixing block, and pins are provided on both sides of the fixing block. The pins mate with the insertion holes. Moving blocks are fixedly connected to the two pins on their opposite sides. A round rod passes through the moving block, and the moving block slidably connects the round rod and the L-shaped plate. The round rod is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate. U-shaped seats are fixedly connected to the two moving blocks on their opposite sides. Rollers are rotatably connected to the U-shaped seats. The outer side is provided with the same ring, and the top of the ring is fixedly connected to a conical ring. Due to the technical means that the pin can be inserted into the socket during the downward stirring blade and removed from the socket when the stirring blade rises, the position of the fixed block can be restricted by inserting the pin into the socket, so that the fixed block can be installed and the stirring blade can be installed. The restriction can be released by removing the pin from the socket, so that the fixed block can be removed from the positioning rod and the stirring blade can be removed. This increases the operating space for deep cleaning of the stirring blade. It effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background technology that the rotating rod and stirring motor of the existing equipment are coaxially fixedly connected, which is not convenient for disassembly and assembly. During the kimchi production process, material will remain on the stirring rod. The remaining material needs to be cleaned regularly. If disassembly and assembly are inconvenient, it will increase the difficulty of cleaning and may lead to hygiene dead corners, thus affecting food safety. Therefore, it achieves the technical effect of simple operation, convenient maintenance, reduced maintenance time and labor costs, and improved overall maintenance efficiency.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a limiting block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket, a limiting ring is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting block, the limiting ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the limiting block.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing box.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an L-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a fixing rod is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped frame, with a ring fixedly connected to the fixing rod.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, an electro-hydraulic push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped frame, and the output end of the electro-hydraulic push rod is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the top of the mounting bracket is fixed with four guide rods arranged in a square pattern. The guide rods pass through the L-shaped bracket and are slidably connected to the L-shaped bracket.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Because it employs a technique that allows the pin to be inserted into the socket during the downward movement of the stirring blades and removed from the socket during the upward movement of the stirring blades, the insertion of the pin into the socket restricts the position of the fixing block, thus allowing the fixing block and stirring blades to be installed. Removing the pin from the socket releases the restriction, allowing the fixing block to be removed from the positioning rod and the stirring blades to be detached. This increases the operating space for thorough cleaning of the stirring blades. It effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background technology where the rotating rod and stirring motor are coaxially fixed, making disassembly and assembly difficult. Furthermore, material residue remains on the stirring rod during kimchi production, requiring regular cleaning. Inconvenient disassembly and assembly increases cleaning difficulty, potentially leading to unsanitary areas and affecting food safety. Therefore, this technique achieves the technical effect of simple operation, convenient maintenance, reduced maintenance time and labor costs, and improved overall maintenance efficiency.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Reference Figure 1-5 A mixing device for kimchi production includes a mixing tank 1, a stirring blade 2 inside the mixing tank 1, a stirring shaft 3 fixedly connected to the stirring blade 2, a mounting frame 4 on the top of the stirring shaft 3, a motor 5 inside the mounting frame 4, the motor 5 fixedly connected to the mounting frame 4, a rotating shaft 6 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 5, an L-shaped plate 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating shaft 6, two positioning rods 8 fixedly connected to one inner wall of the L-shaped plate 7, the two positioning rods 8 being fitted with the same fixing block 9, and the fixing block 9 having two openings. A positioning hole adapted to the positioning rod 8 is provided. Insertion holes 10 are provided on both sides of the fixing block 9. Pins 13 are provided on both sides of the fixing block 9, and the pins 13 are adapted to the insertion holes 10. Moving blocks 12 are fixedly connected to the two pins 13 on their opposite sides. A round rod 11 passes through the moving block 12, and the moving block 12 is slidably connected to the round rod 11 and the L-shaped plate 7. The round rod 11 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 7. U-shaped seats 14 are fixedly connected to the two moving blocks 12 on their opposite sides, and rollers 15 are rotatably connected to the U-shaped seats 14. Two rollers 15 are provided with the same ring 16 on their outer sides. A conical ring 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the ring 16. Due to the adoption of a technical means that the pin can be inserted into the socket during the downward stirring blade and removed from the socket when the stirring blade rises, the position of the fixed block can be restricted by inserting the pin into the socket, thus installing the fixed block and stirring blade. The restriction can be released by removing the pin from the socket, thus removing the fixed block from the positioning rod and the stirring blade. This increases the operating space for deep cleaning of the stirring blade. It effectively solves the problem mentioned in the background technology that the rotating rod and stirring motor of the existing equipment are coaxially fixedly connected, which is not convenient for disassembly and assembly. During the kimchi production process, material will remain on the stirring rod. The remaining material needs to be cleaned regularly. If disassembly and assembly are inconvenient, it will increase the difficulty of cleaning and may lead to hygiene dead corners, thus affecting food safety. Therefore, it achieves the technical effect of simple operation, convenient maintenance, reduced maintenance time and labor costs, and improved overall maintenance efficiency.

[0017] In this embodiment, a limiting block 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting bracket 4, and a limiting ring 19 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the limiting block 18. The limiting ring 19 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 6, and the rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the limiting block 18. When the mounting bracket 4 moves up and down, it will drive the limiting block 18 to move, the limiting block 18 will drive the limiting ring 19 to move, and the limiting ring 19 will drive the rotating shaft 6 to move. When the rotating shaft 6 rotates, it will drive the limiting ring 19 to rotate within the limiting block 18, ensuring the stability of the rotating shaft 6 when it rotates.

[0018] In this embodiment, a base plate 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ingredient box 1.

[0019] In this embodiment, an L-shaped frame 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 20, and a fixing rod 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped frame 21. The fixing rod 22 is fixedly connected to the ring 16.

[0020] In this embodiment, an electro-hydraulic push rod 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the L-shaped frame 21, and the output end of the electro-hydraulic push rod 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting frame 4.

[0021] In this embodiment, four square-shaped guide rods 24 are fixed on the top of the mounting frame 4. The guide rods 24 pass through the L-shaped frame 21 and are slidably connected to the L-shaped frame 21. When the height of the mounting frame 4 is adjusted, the mounting frame 4 will drive the guide rods 24 to move along the L-shaped frame 21, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the mounting frame 4 when it moves.

[0022] Working Principle: When in use, an external power supply is used. All ingredients for the kimchi are placed into the ingredient box 1. The external PLC controller activates the electric hydraulic push rod 23, causing its output end to extend. This output end of the electric hydraulic push rod 23 drives the mounting frame 4 to descend. The mounting frame 4 then moves the guide rod 24 along the L-shaped frame 21. The descent of the mounting frame 4 causes the limit block 18 to descend, which in turn causes the limit ring 19 to descend. The limit ring 19 then causes the rotating shaft 6 to descend, which in turn causes the L-shaped plate 7 to descend. The L-shaped plate 7 then causes the positioning rod 8 to descend, which in turn causes the fixing block 9 to descend. The fixing block 9 then causes the stirring shaft 3 to descend, which in turn causes the stirring blade 2 to descend and enter the kimchi. The ingredient box 1, via an external PLC controller, starts motor 5. Motor 5's output drives shaft 6 to rotate, which in turn drives L-shaped plate 7. L-shaped plate 7 then drives positioning rod 8, which in turn drives fixing block 9. Fixing block 9 drives stirring shaft 3, which in turn drives stirring blade 2 to mix the kimchi ingredients. Stirring blade 2, stirring shaft 3, and fixing block 9 are fixed together during factory production. During installation, mounting bracket 4 is raised to its highest point, and fixing block 9 is placed on positioning rod 8 for positioning. The insertion hole 10 and pin 13 are aligned, allowing the output end of electric hydraulic push rod 23 to extend, causing L-shaped plate 7 to descend. L-shaped plate 7 then drives round rod 11 to descend. Rod 11 will cause movable block 12 to descend, movable block 12 will cause U-shaped seat 14 to descend, U-shaped seat 14 will cause roller 15 to descend, and roller 15 will contact the inner wall of conical ring 17. Continuing to descend roller 15 will bring the two rollers 15 closer together during descent. Roller 15 will then cause U-shaped seat 14 to move closer to fixed block 9, U-shaped seat 14 will then cause movable block 12 to move along rod 11 closer to fixed block 9, and movable block 12 will cause pin 13 to move closer to fixed block 9. When roller 15 reaches the inner wall of ring 16, pin 13 will insert into hole 10, thus restricting the position of fixed block 9 and fixing it, completing the assembly. When roller 15 is in the ring 16... When the inner wall is being cleaned, the output end of the electric hydraulic push rod 23 can be extended or retracted to adjust the height of the stirring blade 2, thereby stirring the kimchi ingredients at different heights in the ingredient box 1, so that the kimchi ingredients can be stirred more thoroughly. When the stirring blade 2 needs to be removed for deep cleaning, the output end of the electric hydraulic push rod 23 is raised to the highest point, so that the roller 15 can be disengaged from the ring 16 and the conical ring 17. The U-shaped seat 14 can be manually moved away from the fixed block 9, and the pin 13 can be removed from the insertion hole 10, thereby releasing the restriction on the fixed block 9. The fixed block 9 can then be removed from the positioning rod 8 and moved out from the bottom of the ring 16 to carry out the cleaning work, increasing the operating space to facilitate the cleaning work.

[0023] 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.
