Dough Mixer Scraper Unit for Adhesion and Cleaning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Dough mixers often suffer from dough sticking to the inner walls and transmission shaft, leading to inefficiencies in mixing and inconvenient cleaning, resulting in waste and user inconvenience.
Innovation Solution
A dough mixer equipped with a scraper unit featuring silica gel bowl wall scrapers and a central scraper, detachably connected to the dough mixing unit, which rotates to scrape off adhering dough from the bowl walls and transmission shaft, enhancing mixing efficiency and simplifying cleaning.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If a traditional dough mixing mechanism is used, then the mixing process is simple, but dough sticks to the inner wall of the mixing bowl and transmission shaft causing waste and insufficient mixing
Solution Approach 1:
The scraper system is divided into multiple independent scraper blades arranged at different positions and angles. Each scraper blade independently targets specific areas (inner wall, transmission shaft) to comprehensively solve the dough sticking problem throughout the mixing container.
Solution Approach 2:
The scraper unit is designed as a detachable component that can be easily removed from the mixing mechanism. This allows the scraping function to be separated from the mixing function, enabling independent optimization of each component and convenient cleaning or replacement.
2Device complexity
If a traditional dough mixing mechanism is used, then the structure is simple, but cleaning the mixing bowl and transmission shaft is inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The scraper unit is designed as a detachable component that can be easily removed from the mixing mechanism. This allows the scraping function to be separated from the mixing function, enabling independent optimization of each component and convenient cleaning or replacement.
Solution Approach 2:
The scraper blades automatically scrape dough off the inner walls and transmission shaft during the mixing process itself. The system performs its own cleaning function during normal operation, eliminating the need for separate manual cleaning steps and reducing user workload.
3Device complexity
If no scraper unit is used, then the device is simple, but dough adhering to surfaces causes waste and requires manual cleaning
Solution Approach 1:
The scraper system is divided into multiple independent scraper blades arranged at different positions and angles. Each scraper blade independently targets specific areas (inner wall, transmission shaft) to comprehensively solve the dough sticking problem throughout the mixing container.
