For example, the spiral direction of the first spoiler 3121 may be disposed in a clockwise direction, and the spiral direction of the second spoiler 3221 may be disposed in a counterclockwise direction.

In the embodiment of the present application, the spiral direction of the first spoiler 3121 of the first mixing unit 312 and the spiral direction of the second spoiler 3221 of the second mixing unit 322 are set in opposite directions, so that the flow direction of the materials to be mixed can be changed, the flow direction of the materials to be mixed can be changed from left to right and from left to right, the flow direction of the materials to be mixed can be changed continuously, the materials to be mixed in the center can be pushed to the periphery, the materials to be mixed in the periphery can also be pushed to the center, and the purpose of fully mixing the materials to be mixed is achieved.

In one embodiment, the mixer 300 may include a first mixer 310, the first mixer 310 being provided with a plurality of first feed ports 311 and first discharge ports 314; the mixer 300 may further include a second mixer 320, the second mixer 320 being provided with a second inlet 321 and a second outlet 323, the second inlet 321 being connected to the first outlet 314. Wherein the first mixer 310 and the second mixer 320 are each provided with a plurality of mixing units.

The number of the second mixers 320 may be one or more, for example, the second mixer 320 may be one, when the materials to be mixed are mixed, the first mixer 310 cuts and remixes the materials to be mixed, and the remixed materials to be mixed enter the second mixer 320 from the first discharge hole 314 to be cut and remixed again, so as to achieve the purpose of sufficient and complete mixing. For another example, the number of the second mixers 320 may be that a plurality of second mixers 320 are connected in series, when the materials to be mixed are mixed, the first mixer 310 cuts and remixes the materials to be mixed, and the remixed materials to be mixed sequentially enter each of the second mixers 320 connected in series from the first discharge hole 314 to be cut and remixed again, so as to achieve the purpose of sufficient mixing.

In one embodiment, a pipe is connected between the first mixer 310 and the second mixer 320, and a pipe clamp 400 is respectively disposed between the pipe and the first discharging hole 314 and between the pipe and the second feeding hole 321.

It can be understood that, when the material to be mixed is output from the first mixer 310 through the first discharge port 314, the impact force between the pipeline and the first discharge port 314 is large, so that the first discharge port 314 is easily damaged or the first discharge port 314 and the pipeline fall off, in order to prevent this, the pipe clamp 400 is arranged at the joint of the first discharge port 314 and the pipeline, and the existence of the pipe clamp 400 can make the impact resistance at the joint of the first discharge port 314 and the pipeline stronger, and is not easily damaged or fall off. Similarly, a pipe clamp 400 is also disposed at the joint of the second feed opening 321 and the pipe to prevent the second feed opening 321 from being damaged or the second feed opening 321 and the pipe from being separated from each other. Therefore, the stability and the reliability of the pipeline connection are improved.

In one example, rubber rings are disposed at the connection of the first discharge hole 314 and the pipe and at the connection of the second feed hole 321 and the pipe to prevent the materials to be mixed from leaking during the process of inputting the first mixer 310 into the second mixer 320.

In one embodiment, a delivery pump 500 is disposed on the delivery tube 200, and the delivery pump 500 is used for pumping the materials to be mixed in the container 100 into the mixer 300.

In one example, the delivery pump 500 may be a rotor pump, a reciprocating pump, a screw pump, a centrifugal pump, a piston pump, etc., the type of the delivery pump 500 may be selected and adjusted according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the type of the delivery pump 500.

Preferably, when mixing the viscous material and the particulate material, the type of the transfer pump 500 provided on the transfer pipe 200 for transferring the viscous material is a rotor pump, and the type of the transfer pump 500 provided on the transfer pipe 200 for transferring the particulate material is a piston pump. So, the rotor pump can provide sufficient pressure energy for viscous material's transport, and the piston pump is difficult for extrudeing broken with granule material, and viscous material and granule material of being convenient for remain respective characteristic after mixing. Such as the specific viscosity of the viscous material and the integrity of the particulate material.

In one embodiment, the delivery pipe 200 may further be provided with a flow meter 600, and the flow meter 600 is located between the output end of the delivery pump 500 and the first feeding hole 311 and connected with the delivery pump 500.

The flow meter 600 arranged between the delivery pump 500 and the mixer 300 can detect the flow information before the materials to be mixed are delivered to the first feed inlet 311, so that the detected flow information can accurately reflect the mixing proportion of the materials, and the improvement of the precision of the rotation speed adjustment of the delivery pump 500 is facilitated. For example, when the flow meter 600 detects that the flow information is greater than the set value, the rotation speed of the delivery pump 500 is reduced, and the delivery speed of the material to be mixed is reduced; when the flow meter 600 detects that the flow information is smaller than the set value, the rotating speed of the conveying pump 500 is increased, and the conveying speed of the materials to be mixed is increased. Therefore, the mixing proportion of the materials to be mixed can be accurately controlled, the materials to be mixed are mixed in a constant mixing proportion, and the mixing precision of the materials to be mixed is improved. For example, the yogurt and the stabilizer to be mixed are mixed in one of the equal proportions of 3:1, 3:2, 2:1, 1:1 and 1:2, so that the two materials are always mixed in a certain proportion.

The flow meter 600 may be a mass flow meter or a volume flow meter, and the type of the flow meter is not particularly limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In one embodiment, the mixing device 1 further comprises a controller, which is electrically connected to the flow meter 600 and the delivery pump 500. The controller may receive the flow information detected by the flow meter 600 and control the rotation speed of the delivery pump 500 on the corresponding delivery pipe 200 according to the flow information. In this manner, the flow of material in the delivery tube 200 can be automatically controlled.

In one embodiment, the delivery tube 200 is further provided with a safety valve (not shown), and the safety valve is located at the input end of the delivery pump 500 and is communicated with the output end of the delivery pump 500.
