Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of candied fruit processing, and in particular to a sugar water circulating device for candied fruit pickling. BACKGROUND

[0002] During candied fruit pickling, sugar water is unevenly deposited, which is caused by the sugar water properties, static pickling environment and physical effects of candied fruit materials.

[0003] The most commonly used pickling tank is an open square / rectangular pickling tank without a top cover, which is convenient for manually feeding materials and sampling detection.

[0004] The pickling tank has a large overall volume, and after the sugar water circulating device is arranged, the pickling tank is fixed on the ground. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to make the unloading more convenient after the sugar water circulation, the application provides a sugar water circulating device for candied fruit pickling.

[0006] The application provides a sugar water circulating device for candied fruit pickling, which adopts the following technical scheme: A sugar water circulating device for candied fruit pickling comprises a rotating shaft rotating around a middle axis thereof; A driving source drives the rotating shaft to rotate; A pickling box is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft through a connecting rod, the connecting rod is a hollow structure, first through holes are arranged on the rod wall of the connecting rod, the wall thickness of the pickling box is provided with an accommodating cavity, and second through holes are arranged on the inner wall of the pickling box, the second through holes and the accommodating cavity are communicated; An opening and closing piece is movably arranged in the accommodating cavity and used for opening and closing the second through holes, when the pickling tank is in a pickling state, the sugar water in the accommodating cavity can be stirred by moving the opening and closing piece; A water suction pipe is arranged in the connecting rod; A loading box is arranged, the pickling box is arranged in the loading box, and the pickling box can rotate with the rotating shaft and can be separated from the loading box, so that the pickling materials fall into the loading box.

[0007] By adopting the above technical scheme, in the pickling process, when the second through hole and the accommodating cavity are communicated, the accommodating cavity and the cavity of the pickling box are communicated with each other, the height of the sugar water in the pickling box is the same as the height of the sugar water in the accommodating cavity, the movable opening and closing piece opens and closes the second through hole and stirs the sugar water, the sugar water is circulated in the accommodating cavity and the pickling box, the sugar water is uniformly distributed, and the pickling effect is improved; or the sugar water can also be circulated by continuously drawing the sugar water through the water pipe and then discharging the sugar water into the pickling box, the sugar water can also be circulated, and the effect of uniform distribution of the sugar water is improved through double circulation. The driving source drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and then drives the pickling box to rotate, and after the pickling is completed, the pickling box is rotated to be away from the charging box, and the material falls into the charging box, thereby solving the problem of troublesome unloading of the traditional pickling pool and improving the production efficiency.

[0008] Optionally, the inner wall surface and the outer wall surface of the pickling box are circular arc surfaces, the central axis of the pickling box coincides with the central axis of the rotating shaft, and the second through holes are distributed along the circumference of the pickling box.

[0009] By adopting the above technical scheme, the circular arc surface design makes the pickling box rotate more stably, reduces shaking and friction during rotation, reduces energy loss and equipment wear. The coincidence of the central axes ensures the stability of rotation and avoids unbalanced force caused by eccentric rotation. The second through holes are distributed along the circumference, so that the sugar water is uniformly circulated along the circumference in the pickling box, further improving the uniformity of sugar water distribution and improving the pickling quality.

[0010] Optionally, the opening and closing piece is a circular arc plate structure, rotates in the accommodating cavity with the central axis of the pickling box as the rotation center, and a first communication hole is formed in the opening and closing piece, and the first communication hole and the second through hole form a communication relationship.

[0011] By adopting the above technical scheme, the circular arc strip-shaped opening and closing piece rotates with the central axis of the pickling box as the rotation center, and has simple structure and flexible rotation, which is convenient to control. Through the connection relationship between the first communication hole and the second through hole, the opening and closing of the second through hole can be accurately controlled, and the effective control of the sugar water circulation is realized. In the process of rotating the opening and closing piece, the sugar water in the accommodating cavity can also be stirred, so that the sugar water is uniformly mixed.

[0012] Optionally, the opening and closing piece is provided with a second communication hole, a third through hole is formed in the inner wall of the pickling box, and the second communication hole is located at the middle position of the arc-shaped direction of the opening and closing piece. When the second through hole is blocked, the second communication hole and the third through hole are communicated.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, after the pickling is completed, most of the sugar water in the pickling tank is extracted by the water pump. When the second through hole is blocked, the second connecting hole and the third through hole are connected. Some sugar water will still enter the receiving cavity. The receiving cavity can collect a small amount of sugar water, especially as it is retained in the receiving cavity with the rotation of the mixing box, reducing the amount of sugar water flowing into the loading box.

[0014] Optionally, it also includes a separator box located inside the marinating box. The separator box is mounted on the rotating shaft and has a fourth through hole, through which the separator box communicates with the marinating box.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the partition box increases the structural layers of the pickling space, dividing the inside of the pickling box into different areas.

[0016] Optionally, the inner and outer walls of the separating box are both arc-shaped, the separating box and the marinating box are concentric, and there is a gap between the outer wall of the separating box and the inner wall of the marinating box.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc-shaped surface design makes the partition box rotate smoothly and reduces friction with surrounding parts; the concentric circles with gaps reduce the problem of dead corners in the pickling box, and the entire inner wall is smooth, which also ensures a reasonable sugar water circulation space between the partition box and the pickling box, which is conducive to the uniform flow of sugar water between the two, making the sugar water concentration in various areas of the pickling box more uniform and improving the pickling effect.

[0018] Optionally, the drive sources of the separator and the marinating box are different. The rotating shaft includes a first shaft and a second shaft that are rotatably connected to each other. The first shaft extends out of the second shaft. The first shaft is fixedly connected to the marinating box via a connecting rod. The second shaft has a clearance groove for the connecting rod to rotate. The second shaft and the separator are fixedly connected via a rod. The ends of the first shaft and the second shaft are away from the marinating box and are connected to different drive sources.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, and using different drive sources to drive the pickling box and the separating box respectively, independent rotation of the two can be achieved. According to different pickling needs, the rotation speed and direction of the pickling box and the separating box can be adjusted, making the sugar water circulation more flexible and diverse, further improving the pickling effect. The interlocking rotating shaft structure rationally arranges the space, ensuring that the rotation of the two boxes does not interfere with each other.

[0020] Optionally, each of the different drive sources includes a motor and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a driving gear and a driven gear. The output shaft of the motor is coaxially and fixedly connected to the driving gear. The first shaft and the second shaft are coaxially and fixedly connected to the driven gear. The two motors mesh with the corresponding driven gears through the driving gears.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the cooperation of the motor and transmission components (driving gear and driven gear), the rotation speed and direction of the first and second shafts can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving stable rotation of the pickling box and the separating box.

[0022] Optionally, the two end faces of the separator box along the axial direction are fitted with the connecting rod, and the fourth through hole is connected to the first through hole.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the fourth through hole allows the sugar water in the partition box to communicate with the outside through the fourth through hole and the first through hole, further enriching the sugar water circulation path; the sugar water can circulate more fully between the partition box, the connecting rod and the pickling box, making the sugar water more evenly distributed in the device and improving the pickling effect.

[0024] Optionally, the connecting rod is connected to the first shaft, and the pumping pipe passes through the end of the first shaft and extends into the connecting rod.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the water pump can smoothly extract the sugar water from the connecting rod, ensuring the smooth circulation of the sugar water; at the same time, it makes reasonable use of the internal space of the device, making the structure more compact, reducing the complexity of the pipeline layout, and lowering production costs and maintenance difficulties.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects: 1. During the marinating process, the second through hole can be opened and closed by the movable opening and closing device and the sugar water can be stirred, so that the sugar water can circulate in the containing cavity and the marinating box; the sugar water can also be drawn in and drained by the water pipe to achieve circulation. The dual circulation method improves the uniform distribution of sugar water. 2. After pickling is completed, the pickling box rotates away from the loading box, and the material falls into the loading box, which solves the problem of troublesome unloading in traditional pickling tanks.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] This application discloses a sugar water circulation device for pickling candied fruit. (See also...) Figure 1 The present invention discloses a sugar water circulation device for candied fruit pickling, which aims to solve the problems of uneven sugar water settling and cumbersome unloading in candied fruit pickling. It is suitable for candied fruit processing scenarios of granular ingredients such as hawthorn and apricot. The device includes a rotating shaft 100, a support bracket 130 for supporting the rotating shaft 100, a pickling tank 200, a separating tank 300, and a loading tank 400. The loading tank 400 serves as an unloading receiving structure with its opening facing upwards. Both the pickling tank 200 and the separating tank 300 are mounted on the rotating shaft 100. By rotating the rotating shaft 100, the openings of the pickling tank 200 and the separating tank 300 face downwards, allowing the candied fruit in the pickling tank 200 to fall into the loading tank 400, thus improving the problem of cumbersome unloading from the pickling tank.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The two ends of the rotating shaft 100 are located outside the marinating box 200 and the separating box 300. The marinating box 200 and the separating box 300 form a double-layer marinating space. The marinating box 200 and the separating box 300 are cylindrical structures with rounded inner and outer walls. Under normal use, the openings face upwards for easy material feeding. The central axis of the marinating box 200 and the separating box 300 coincides with the central axis of the rotating shaft 100. The rotating shaft 100 consists of a first shaft 110 and a second shaft 120 that are rotatably connected to each other. The first shaft 110 extends outside the second shaft 120. The ends of both shafts are far away from the marinating box 200 and are respectively connected to different drive sources 500, forming independent power transmission paths. The marinating box 200 is fixedly connected to the first shaft 110 through a connecting rod 600. The second shaft 120 has a clearance groove 121 for the connecting rod 600 to pass through, allowing the connecting rod 600 to rotate with the first shaft 110. Two separator boxes 300 are spaced apart along the second axis 120 and are directly fixedly connected to the second axis 120.

[0032] ReferenceFigure 3 The drive source 500 has a uniform structure, including a motor 510 and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly includes a driving gear 520 and a driven gear 530 that mesh with each other. The driving gear 520 is fixed coaxially with the output shaft of the motor 510. The first shaft 110 and the second shaft 120 are each fixed coaxially with their corresponding driven gears 530. The two motors 510 mesh with their respective driven gears 530 through the driving gear 520. The gear transmission enables precise control of the rotation speed and direction of the first shaft 110 and the second shaft 120. Both the first shaft 110 and the second shaft 120 can rotate forward or backward through the motor 510.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 There is a gap between the upper edge of the filling box 400 and the dividing box 300. If only the marinating box 200 rotates upward, the dividing box 300 can remain stationary. The bottom of the filling box 400 is connected to casters with brakes, which can be manually braked.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting rod 600 is a hollow structure, with one end fixed to the outer wall of the marinating tank 200 and the other end connected to the first shaft 110. First through holes 610 are distributed on the rod wall of the connecting rod 600, connecting the connecting rod 600 and the marinating space of the marinating tank 200. A water suction pipe 700 passes through the first shaft 110, and the sugar water circulation path of the device is dominated by the water suction pipe 700. The water suction pipe 700 passes through the end of the first shaft 110 and extends into the hollow connecting rod 600. The water suction pipe 700 is connected to a pump body, mainly used to draw sugar water and achieve sugar water circulation. When the water suction pipe 700 is actually installed, it is a flexible hose in a relaxed state, allowing slight pulling to agitate the sugar water inside the connecting rod 600, resulting in a more even distribution of the sugar water within the connecting rod 600, thereby improving the even distribution of sugar water within the marinating tank 200.

[0035] Reference Figure 2 The marinating box 200 has three connecting rods 600, which are respectively attached to the end faces of the partition box 300. The second connecting rod 600 is attached to the end faces of two partition boxes 300 simultaneously. The partition boxes 300 have a fourth through hole 310 through both axial end faces. The first through hole 610 of the part of the connecting rod 600 that contacts the partition box 300 is connected through the fourth through hole 310, forming a sugar water channel between the partition box 300 and the connecting rod 600. This allows the sugar water in the partition box 300 and the marinating box 200 to circulate, improving the uniformity of the sugar water.

[0036] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4The wall of the pickling box 200 is provided with a receiving cavity 211, which extends along the arc direction of the pickling box 200. The inner wall of the pickling box 200 is provided with a second through hole 210, which is distributed circumferentially along the inner wall of the pickling box 200 and arranged axially along the pickling box 200. The second through hole 210 connects the receiving cavity 211 and the pickling space of the pickling box 200.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 An arc-shaped opening and closing member 220 is movably installed within the receiving cavity 211. The inner arc surface of the opening and closing member 220 fits against the inner wall of the receiving cavity 211, while the outer arc surface of the opening and closing member 220 is spaced apart from the receiving cavity 211. The opening and closing member 220 rotates around the central axis of the marinating box 200. The opening and closing member 220 has a first connecting hole 221 that matches the second through hole 210. By rotating the opening and closing member 220, the first connecting hole 221 can be aligned with or offset from the second through hole 210, thereby opening and closing the second through hole 210. The movement of the opening and closing member 220 can stir the sugar water in the receiving cavity 211, thereby improving the uniform distribution of the sugar water in the marinating box 200.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 The opening / closing element 220 has a second connecting hole 222 in the middle of its arc-shaped section, and a third connecting hole 230 is provided on the corresponding position of the inner wall of the marinating box 200. The third connecting hole 230 connects the receiving cavity 211 and the marinating space of the marinating box 200. The two ends of the opening / closing element 220 extend out of the receiving cavity 211 in the arc-shaped direction, and one end is connected to a positioning block 240. When the positioning block 240 abuts against the edge of the opening of the marinating box 200, the second connecting hole 210 is blocked, and the second connecting hole 222 connects with the third connecting hole 230. The third connecting hole 230 is located at the bottom of the marinating box 200. When the marinating box 200 rotates, part of the sugar water at the bottom of the marinating box 200 flows into the receiving cavity 211. The receiving cavity 211 also serves to temporarily collect residual sugar water, reducing the amount of sugar water flowing into the filling box 400.

[0039] The entire opening and closing component 220 can be rotated and removed directly from the marinating box 200, allowing all the sugar water inside the marinating box 200 to be poured out. During the marinating process, the opening and closing component 220 is rotated periodically to stir the carbohydrates in the containing cavity 211, improving the uniformity of the sugar water.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 A fixing block 250 is fixedly connected to the edge of the opening of the marinating box 200. The fixing block 250 is threadedly connected to a screw 260. When the screw 260 is pressed against the opening and closing part 220, the opening and closing part 220 remains stationary. When the marinating box 200 rotates to unload, it is best to fix the opening and closing part 220 first so that the opening and closing part 220 can remain in a fixed state and move with the marinating box 200.

[0041] Since the overall shape of the separator 300 in this application is the same as that of the pickling box 200, a receiving cavity 211 can also be opened in the wall thickness of the separator 300, a through hole can be opened in the inner wall of the separator 300, and a rotating opening and closing part 220 can be installed to increase the uniformity of sugar water in the separator 300. The principle is the same, and this application will not elaborate further.

[0042] The implementation principle of the sugar water circulation device for pickling candied fruit in this application embodiment is as follows: During the marinating stage, different ingredients are placed into the compartment 300 and the annular space between the compartment 300 and the marinating box 200. The water pipe 700 supplies sugar water to the connecting rod 600. Part of the sugar water enters the annular space directly through the first through hole 610, and the other part enters the compartment 300 through the connection between the first through hole 610 and the fourth through hole 310. At the same time, the opening and closing device 220 is rotated to align the first connecting hole 221 with the second through hole 210. The sugar water in the marinating space of the marinating box 200 can enter the receiving cavity 211 of the marinating box 200. The rotation of the opening and closing device 220 will also stir the sugar water in the receiving cavity 211, preventing the sugar water from settling and realizing the double circulation of sugar water in the marinating box 200 and the compartment 300. After marinating, the drain pipe 700 first extracts most of the sugar water, then rotates the opening and closing part 220 to block the second through hole 210. At this time, the second connecting hole 222 is connected to the third through hole 230, and a small amount of residual sugar water enters the receiving cavity 211 and is collected, reducing its flow into the loading box 400. Then, the drive source 500 is started, which can drive only the marinating box 200 to rotate, so that only the candied fruit in the marinating box 200 falls into the loading box 400. The candied fruit in the separating box 300 continues to be in contact with the sugar water, prolonging the marinating time of the candied fruit in the separating box 300, or the separating box 300 is first rotated away, so that all the candied fruit falls into the marinating box 200, and then the marinating box 200 is driven to rotate away, so that the candied fruit in both the separating box 300 and the marinating box 200 falls into the loading box 400.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
