Referring to fig. 1 to 4, a mixing and stirring apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a mixing hopper 100 and a baffle 200.
The mixing hopper 100 is provided with a material inlet 110 at the upper part and a material outlet 120 at the lower part, and a stirring member 130 is rotatably arranged in the mixing hopper 100 and used for stirring the ingredients entering from the material inlet 110.
The baffle 200 is arranged in the mixing hopper 100 and is positioned below the stirring piece 130, and the baffle 200 is used for receiving the ingredients falling into the mixing hopper 100 so that the stirring piece 130 can stir the ingredients; the baffle 200 is disposed approximately horizontally and slightly inclined downward, a blanking channel 140 is disposed between the baffle 200 and the inner wall of the mixing hopper 100, the baffle 200 can guide the ingredients to the blanking channel 140, and the ingredients slide into the blanking channel 140 and then are discharged from the discharge opening 120. Referring to fig. 2, the right end of the baffle 200 is a lower end, and a blanking channel 140 is arranged between the right end of the baffle 200 and the inner wall of the right side of the mixing hopper 100, i.e. the blanking channel 140 is arranged on the right side of the baffle 200.
In the conventional apparatus, a stirring member 130 is usually disposed in the mixing hopper 100, and after each ingredient enters the mixing hopper 100, the ingredients are stirred by the stirring member 130 and then discharged from the discharge opening 120 together, but since the falling speed of the ingredients in the mixing hopper 100 is very high, if the amount of the ingredients entering the mixing hopper 100 is large, the ingredients are already discharged from the discharge opening 120 without being sufficiently stirred by the stirring member 130.
The utility model arranges the baffle 200 under the stirring piece 130, the baffle 200 is (nearly) horizontally arranged in the mixing hopper 100, the upper part of the mixing hopper 100 is separated into a stirring area 150, and the baffle 200 can receive a certain amount of ingredients, thereby prolonging the stirring time of the ingredients in the mixing hopper 100. When the amount of ingredients entering the mixing hopper 100 is large, the portion sliding into the blanking channel 140 is much smaller than the portion falling onto the baffle 200, and the ingredients can be accumulated on the baffle 200 (in the stirring area 150), and the ingredients in the stirring area 150 can be sufficiently stirred when the stirring member 130 rotates.
If the ingredients in the mixing hopper 100 are fed continuously and in large quantities, the ingredients will overflow from the mixing hopper 100 due to the slow blanking speed caused by the small size of the blanking channel 140. In order to avoid waste, the size of the blanking channel 140 needs to be adjusted in time, when the ingredients in the stirring area 150 are more, the size of the blanking channel 140 is increased, and when the ingredients in the stirring area 150 are less, the size of the blanking channel 140 is decreased, so that the ingredients can be discharged in time while being fully stirred.
Therefore, referring to fig. 2, in some embodiments of the present invention, the baffle 200 is hinged in the mixing hopper 100, the baffle 200 can rotate with the weight of the ingredients, and the reset member is connected to the baffle 200 and is used to drive the pivoted baffle 200 to reset to the initial position. Initially, the reset piece has a certain supporting effect on the baffle 200, so that the baffle 200 is kept at an initial position, and as the ingredients in the stirring area 150 increase, the gravity of the ingredients is greater than the supporting acting force of the reset piece, the baffle 200 rotates downwards, and the blanking channel 140 becomes larger; after the ingredients are reduced, the acting force of the reset piece is greater than the gravity of the ingredients, and the reset piece drives the baffle 200 to rotate upwards until the baffle returns to the initial position.
Referring to fig. 4, in a further embodiment of the present invention, the restoring member is a spring 160, a spring seat 161 is disposed on an inner wall of the mixing hopper 100, one end of the spring 160 is connected to the baffle 200, and the other end is connected to the spring seat 161, the spring seat 161 is disposed above the baffle 200, and thus the spring 160 is also disposed above the baffle 200. Initially, the spring 160 exerts a pulling force on the barrier 200, so that the barrier 200 is kept at the initial position; when the ingredient is increased, the baffle 200 is subjected to the gravity from the ingredient which is larger than the pulling force of the spring 160, the baffle 200 is rotated downwards, the spring 160 is stretched, and when the ingredient is reduced, the spring 160 contracts to pull the baffle 200 back upwards; in addition, the spring 160 has a certain buffering function, so that the baffle 200 can rotate slowly, and the baffle 200 is prevented from being opened instantly.
If the spring 160 is pulled sufficiently and the spring seat 161 is positioned sufficiently high relative to the flap 200, the spring 160 can pull the flap 200 beyond the horizontal position, so that the flap 200 tilts upward, and a part of the ingredients on the flap 200 is difficult to fall. Therefore, in this embodiment, a limiting member is disposed at the initial position, and the limiting member limits the baffle 200 at the initial position, so as to prevent the baffle 200 from continuously rotating upwards, and ensure that the ingredients can smoothly fall down.

One end of the limiting column 170 extends into the mixing bucket 100, the other end of the limiting column is fixed on the outer wall of the mixing bucket 100, and when the baffle 200 rotates to the initial position, one end of the limiting column 170 extending into the mixing bucket 100 abuts against the baffle 200 to prevent the baffle 200 from continuously rotating upwards. Preferably, two limiting holes 171 are formed at opposite positions on the front and rear sidewalls of the mixing tub 100, and two limiting posts 170 are fitted into the limiting holes 171 to abut against the front and rear sides of the upper surface of the baffle 200.
