Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sugar pulling machines, in particular to an automatic sugar pulling machine for maltose. Background Art

[0002] Maltose is a sugar produced by enzymes acting on starch. It has a long history and profound cultural background. Traditionally, maltose undergoes steps such as cooking, fermentation and pulling sugar during the production process, changing from yellow sugar oil to silvery white sugar blocks. This change not only involves changes in color and shape, but also relates to the improvement of taste and quality. The current methods of pulling sugar are mainly divided into manual pulling and machine pulling, with the latter being the main method. The automatic sugar pulling machine drives the maltose to be pulled repeatedly by a rotating stick, changing the maltose from its original viscous state to a loose and easy-to-eat delicate state. During the operation of the rotating stick, the rotating stick may cause the maltose to be offset along the axial direction on the rotating stick due to repeated pulling of the sugar, causing the maltose to separate from the rotating stick. For the sake of work efficiency, manual labor generally does not choose to stop the machine for adjustment, but directly pushes the sugar, which has potential safety hazards.

[0003] Pushing it inwards can also thicken the contact position between the rotating stick and the sugar in a new rotation cycle, making it less likely for the structure to break during the pulling process and helping to produce a porous crystalline state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the present invention provides an automatic maltose pulling machine, comprising a rotating roller 100 and a work station table 700 arranged on the work table;

[0045] The linkage device 200 is arranged on the workstation 700;

[0046] A fixed roller 600, which is disposed on the work station 700 and is drivingly connected to the linkage device 200;

[0047] The linkage device 200 includes a slide rail fixedly mounted on the workstation 700, a fixed slider 201 fixedly mounted on the slide rail, and a movable slider 202 slidably mounted on the slide rail. A parallelogram linkage mechanism is formed between the fixed slider 201 and the movable slider 202 through a connecting rod. The movable slider 202 is fixedly connected to a pushing roller 300 for pushing sugar through a threaded rod 204.

[0048] The push roller 300 is located between the rotating roller 100 and the fixed roller 600 when they are horizontal and close to each other.

[0049] When the rotating roller 100 rotates to a position that is horizontal and close to the fixed roller 600, the linkage device 200 pushes the push roller 300 to between the rotating roller 100 and the fixed roller 600, pushing the maltose inward by 1-2 cm, thereby thickening and piling the maltose there, and preventing the maltose from being flattened and exposed from the end of the rotating roller 100.

[0050] This position is the new periodic contact position of the maltose between the fixed roller 600 and the other rotating roller 100 after one round of rotation. As the rotating roller 100 continues to rotate, the maltose in this gap will be further stretched. Therefore, the maltose is pushed and thickened at this position, and the thickening and pushing effect is most obvious. This is mainly due to its closer proximity to the center of rotation of the fixed roller 600.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the linkage device 200 also includes a cylinder 203 arranged on the work station 700 for driving the parallelogram linkage mechanism. The output end of the cylinder 203 is fixedly connected to a sliding rod, and the sliding rod is slidably installed on the fixed sliding block 201. The sliding rod is connected to a connecting rod with a pin shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the pin shaft of the movable sliding block 202.

[0052] The above structure is an implementation of a parallelogram connecting rod structure. The cylinder 203 pushes the sliding rod to move linearly, causing the connecting rod to tilt or straighten, causing the connecting rod to pull the moving slider 202 to slide backward or forward on the track, thereby controlling the push roller 300 to move back and forth to play a pushing role.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the workstation 700 includes a column 701 fixedly mounted thereon, and the fixed roller 600 includes a detachable rod 601 and a latch 602 , and the latch 602 fixes the detachable rod 601 to the column 701 .

[0054] The fixed roller 600 is designed to be detachable, and is fixedly mounted on the column 701 by two bayonet pins 602, so that it is easy to disassemble and replace. It is mainly used for disassembly during the final unloading of maltose.

[0055] like Figure 6 As shown, the front end of the detachable stick 601 is configured to be in the shape of a truncated cone, and the diameter of the truncated cone gradually increases in the direction away from the latch 602.

[0056] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown in FIG. 6 , a coloring component 500 is also provided on the column 701 for filling edible coloring agent, wherein the coloring component 500 includes a temporary storage cylinder 505 for containing edible coloring agent.

[0057] The suction pipe 504 is connected to the temporary storage tube 505 and the push roller 300 and is used to guide the edible colorant in the temporary storage tube 505 to the surface of the push roller 300 .

[0058] The edible colorant is filled into the temporary storage tube 505 , and the colorant in the temporary storage tube 505 is flowed to the push roller 300 through the suction tube 504 , and the colorant is smeared on the surface of the pulled sugar through the contact between the push roller 300 and the pulled sugar.

[0059] The temporary storage tube 505 is fixedly mounted on the column 701, and its position is always unchanged. Therefore, when the temporary storage tube 505 is manually filled with colorant, the rotating roller 100 that rotates together is far away and is not located above it, thereby eliminating the corresponding safety hazards.

[0060] like Fig. 9 As shown, the suction pipe 504 includes a piston cylinder 5041, a piston matched with a movable tube 5042 in the piston cylinder 5041, and an inner tube 5043 fixedly sleeved inside the movable tube 5042;

[0061] The temporary storage cylinder 505 is connected downward to the cavity between the piston of the movable tube 5042 and the piston cylinder 5041 through a guide tube. A second one-way valve flap 5045 is provided in the guide tube, and a first one-way valve flap 5044 is provided in the inner tube 5043.

[0062] During the reciprocating motion of the push roller 300 driven by the cylinder 203 through the threaded rod 204, the movable tube 5042 follows the motion, and the piston at the end of the movable tube 5042 and the cavity formed by the piston cylinder 5041 will be continuously compressed and enlarged. The one-way flap of the one-way valve flap 2 5045 opens in the direction from the temporary storage cylinder 505 to the cavity. In each cycle, when the cavity is enlarged, the internal pressure decreases, causing the food colorant above the one-way valve flap 2 5045 to be sucked down into the cavity. During the compression process, since the opening direction of the one-way valve flap 1 5044 is directed to the push roller 300, the one-way valve flap 1 5044 is pressed to open the one-way flap to circulate the food colorant to the push roller 300, and finally the pulled sugar can be colored. Due to the limited space in the cavity, the colorant sucked in each cycle is quantitative and kept in a small capacity, and is transported to the push roller 300 in multiple times. As the sugar is pulled inward each time, the colorant is applied to the sugar until the colorant in the temporary storage tube 505 is emptied. Automatic coloring is achieved without the need for manual dripping, and the coloring is accurate and not biased, which improves efficiency and eliminates safety hazards during manual coloring.

[0063] like Figure 4 As shown, the coloring assembly 500 further includes a fixing frame 501 and a screw 502, and the fixing frame 501 is fixedly mounted on the column 701 through the screw 502;

[0064] A clamping block 503, the clamping block 503 is fixedly mounted on the outer edge of the fixing frame 501;

[0065] The clamping block 503 includes two clamping units, which are combined by bolts to fix the suction pipe 504.

[0066] The fixing frame 501 and the screw rod 502 are clamped and installed on the column 701 .

[0067] like Figure 7 As shown, the push roller 300 includes a roller 301, and the roller 301 is fixed on the threaded rod 204 through a nut;

[0068] The roller core 302 is fixedly sleeved in the roller 301;

[0069] The roller core 302 is hollow and connected to the suction pipe 504, and a flow guide groove 3021 is opened on its surface;

[0070] The roller 301 is provided with a flow guide groove 3021 which is aligned and communicated with the flow guide groove 3021 .

[0071] The flow guide groove 3021 is hollow, and the inner diameter of the hollow part is larger than the inner diameter of the inner tube 5043, thereby avoiding more edible colorants from being retained inside. After the edible colorants are discharged from the flow guide groove 3021, they flow to the outside of the roller 301 through the through hole 3011. At this time, the outer periphery of the roller 301 contacts the sugar, and the sugar wipes off the colorant on its surface during the upward rotation. So the roller 301 evenly applies the colorant to the surface of the sugar. After several reciprocating times, all the colorants are applied to different positions of the sugar, so as to preliminarily evenly color. On the one hand, it avoids the excessive accumulation of colorants at a uniform position on the sugar, and on the other hand, it avoids the adverse effects such as the colorant dripping on the sugar, sliding and contaminating the table.

[0072] like Figure 8 As shown, a hoop 303 is movably and fixedly sleeved on the roller 301, and a water-absorbing cotton 304 is connected to the opening of the hoop 303 to form a closed loop structure to hold the roller 301;

[0073] The absorbent cotton 304 covers the entire through hole 3011 .

[0074] The above scheme is another embodiment of the push roller 300. The hoop 303 is open-loop, and absorbent cotton 304 is provided at its opening. The absorbent cotton 304 completely covers and wraps the through hole 3011. Therefore, the edible colorant discharged from the through hole 3011 will first impregnate the absorbent cotton 304. The absorbent cotton 304 is in contact with the pulled sugar and squeezes it, and the edible colorant on it will be squeezed outward and applied to the pulled sugar. After several applications, the colorant is completely discharged and applied to the pulled sugar. This dynamic application method in the process of pulling sugar is adopted to limit the uniform flow position of the colorant, which is conducive to the application and coloring of the pulled sugar and improves the utilization rate. At the same time, it also avoids the situation where the colorant drips from the pulled sugar due to the dripping coloring method.

[0075] like Figure 1 As shown, a dust removal assembly 400 is provided on the workbench, and the dust removal assembly 400 is located behind the rotating roller;

[0076] The dust removal assembly 400 includes a wind plate 401 in the middle and wind knives 402 on both sides;

[0077] The workstation table 700 is slidably installed on a slide rail provided on the workbench.

[0078] The workstation 700 can slide linearly on the workstation to adjust its position, and is fixed on the slide rail to achieve stable operation. However, when the pulled maltose needs to be unloaded from the sugar pulling machine, the workstation 700 can be adjusted to slide backward as a whole to separate it from the rotating roller 100. The distance between the workstation 700 and the rotating roller 100 can also be adjusted according to actual working conditions.

[0079] The wind plate 401 and the wind knife 402 completely cover the active area of ​​the rotating roller 100 when the maltose is rotating, and can suck away dust and impurities in the air to ensure the cleanliness of the sugar pulling environment.

[0080] The working principle and use process of the present invention:

[0081] When one of the rotating rollers 100 reaches a new cycle contact position of maltose between the fixed roller 600 and the other rotating roller 100 after a round of rotation, the linkage device 200 pushes the push roller 300 to the gap between the rotating roller 100 and the fixed roller 600 close to the center position of the fixed roller 600. The maltose is pushed inward, leading the position to thicken, and preventing the edge of the maltose from leaking and breaking. It helps the maltose to form a polycrystalline porous structure. The push roller 300 is connected to the coloring component 500 to apply the edible colorant on the maltose. During the process of pushing the sugar, it is divided into multiple uniform colorings, and each time it contacts the maltose, a part of the colorant will be applied to the sugar. It is mainly driven by the cylinder 203 to drive the push roller 300 to reciprocate back and forth, and the movable tube 5042 follows the movement, and the piston at the end of the movable tube 5042 is located in the piston cylinder 5041 and the cavity formed by the piston cylinder 5041 will be continuously compressed and enlarged. The one-way flap of the one-way valve flap 2 5045 opens from the temporary storage tube 505 to the cavity. In each cycle, when the cavity is enlarged, the internal pressure decreases, causing the food colorant above the one-way valve flap 2 5045 to be sucked down into the cavity. During the compression process, since the opening direction of the one-way valve flap 1 5044 is directed to the push roller 300, the one-way valve flap 1 5044 is pressed to open the one-way flap to flow the food colorant into the push roller 300, and finally the pulled sugar can be colored. Due to the limited space in the cavity, the colorant sucked in each cycle is quantitative and kept in a small capacity, and is delivered to the push roller 300 in multiple times. During the process of pulling the sugar, the coloring is evenly applied.

[0082] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0083] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
