Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of brown sugar processing technology, and in particular to a brown sugar pressing and forming machine. Background Technology

[0002] Brown sugar, a traditional Chinese sugar product, has a production process that can be traced back to ancient times. With its unique flavor and rich nutritional properties, it occupies an important position in food processing and daily life. Nutritionally, brown sugar retains more of the natural minerals found in sugarcane, such as iron, calcium, potassium, and magnesium, as well as vitamins, such as B vitamins, and various amino acids. Compared to refined white sugar, its nutrition is more comprehensive. It not only provides energy but is also traditionally considered to have certain warming and nourishing effects, making it popular among consumers. It is widely used in tea preparation, pastry baking, dessert making, and other food processing applications, and is also a common ingredient in everyday home cooking and beverages.

[0003] However, since brown sugar is a type of sugar and has a certain degree of stickiness, some residue may remain on the pressing plate as it needs to be pressed onto the mold. When pressing again, if the residue sticks to the plate, it will press a groove into the brown sugar block in the mold. If it sticks to the brown sugar block, it may result in inconsistent texture and make it easy to fall off the brown sugar block, affecting the subsequent packaging process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, and to propose a brown sugar block forming machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A brown sugar briquetting machine includes a housing. A first electric pusher is fixedly connected to the side of the housing. A connecting rod is slidably connected to the first electric pusher. A pusher box is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting rod away from the inner wall of the housing. A connecting rack is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting rod. A housing-side gear is meshed with the connecting rack. An internal gear is meshed with the housing-side gear. A frame-side rack is meshed with the internal gear. The frame-side rack is slidably connected to the housing. A stabilizing frame is fixedly connected to the side of the frame-side rack away from the housing. A fixing member is fixedly connected to the stabilizing frame. A cam is rotatably connected to the side of the fixing member. A wheel-side gear is fixedly connected to the end of the cam away from the fixing member. A column is fixedly connected above the stabilizing frame. The column is slidably connected to a sliding frame. A cleaning brush is provided above the sliding frame. A second electric pusher is fixedly connected to the top of the housing. A pressing plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the second electric pusher. A pressing block is provided at the bottom of the pressing plate. An internal rack for meshing with the wheel-side gear is fixedly connected inside the housing.

[0006] The above technical solution further includes: The outer casing has a sliding groove on its side for connecting the rack and pinion to slide. The gear on the outer casing is rotatably connected to the side of the outer casing. The gear on the outer casing is driven by a belt. The end of the belt away from the gear on the outer casing is driven by an internal gear. The internal gear is rotatably connected to the outer casing.

[0007] The bottom of the outer casing is provided with a cushioning pad for buffering.

[0008] The cushioning pad is made of food-grade elastic material. It can absorb the impact force generated when the pressing plate is pressed down and the block is pushed out during the operation of the equipment, reduce the overall vibration amplitude of the equipment, avoid misalignment of the template and the block due to severe vibration, reduce frictional wear between components, extend the service life of the equipment, ensure the stable operation of the pressing process, and guarantee the molding accuracy of brown sugar blocks.

[0009] The pusher box has two sets of crushing rollers symmetrically arranged inside.

[0010] Both sets of crushing rollers have staggered crushing teeth on their surfaces. By rotating in opposite directions, they shear and crush the brown sugar powder entering the feeding box. This design can completely break up any lumps of brown sugar that may still exist after screening, keeping the uniformity of the raw material particles within a reasonable range. This prevents large pieces of brown sugar from affecting the filling density of the template feeding grid, providing a uniform raw material for subsequent pressing and molding, and reducing problems such as internal voids or uneven hardness in the finished product.

[0011] The outer shell has a square groove for mounting a mounting plate inside. The output end of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a stop block, and a template for placing brown sugar powder is provided above the stop block.

[0012] The square groove provides a stable mounting reference for the mounting plate, ensuring precise movement trajectory when pushing the block. The top of the block fits into the bottom of the material feeding grid of the template, forming a closed molding space. During filling, the brown sugar powder is confined within the grid. When pressed, the block acts as a bottom support to withstand the pressure. When ejected, it slides upward along the inner wall of the grid, pushing the molded brown sugar block out completely, ensuring a smooth ejection action without damaging the finished product.

[0013] The outer shell opening is provided with a feed inlet for pouring brown sugar powder into the shell.

[0014] The feed inlet adopts a funnel-shaped structure, and its bottom outlet is precisely connected to the feed end of the pusher box, which can guide the brown sugar powder into the pusher box quickly and in a concentrated manner, reducing the spillage and waste of raw materials.

[0015] The side of the pusher box is equipped with a motor for driving the internal crushing roller to rotate.

[0016] The outer shell is slidably connected to the connecting rack.

[0017] The surface of the sliding frame is provided with gaps for brown sugar powder to fall off.

[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, by setting a cleaning brush to clean the pressing block at the bottom of the pressing plate in real time, it is possible to effectively prevent brown sugar residue from sticking to the pressing base. When the pressing block descends to squeeze the brown sugar powder in the mold, since there is no residue left on the surface, it can ensure that the force is uniform with each press, and will not form grooves on the surface of the newly formed brown sugar block, thereby ensuring that all brown sugar blocks have a flat appearance and uniform size, and reducing the defect rate caused by appearance defects; 2. In this invention, the up-and-down and back-and-forth sliding motion of the cleaning brush, driven by a stabilizing frame, thoroughly removes residual brown sugar from the pressing blocks. This design reduces the amount of residue adhering to the surface of the finished brown sugar blocks, avoiding localized texture differences caused by residue, and preventing residue from falling off in subsequent processes. Therefore, the brown sugar blocks are stable when entering the packaging stage, preventing packaging machine jams caused by residue falling off, reducing the failure rate of the packaging process, and minimizing the frequency of manual intervention and cleaning.

[0024] In one embodiment, the bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a cushioning pad for buffering.

[0025] In this embodiment, the buffer pad is made of food-grade elastic material, which can absorb the impact force generated when the pressing plate 5 is pressed down and the abutment block 24 is pushed out during the operation of the equipment, reduce the overall vibration amplitude of the equipment, avoid the misalignment of the template 25 and the abutment block 24 due to severe vibration, reduce frictional wear between components, extend the service life of the equipment, ensure the stable operation of the pressing process, and ensure the molding accuracy of brown sugar blocks.

[0026] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned pusher box 7, two sets of crushing rollers are symmetrically arranged inside the pusher box 7.

[0027] In this embodiment, both sets of crushing rollers have staggered crushing teeth distributed on their surfaces. By rotating in opposite directions, they shear and crush the brown sugar powder entering the feeding box 7. This design can completely break up any lumps of brown sugar that may still exist after sieving, keeping the uniformity of the raw material particles within a reasonable range. This prevents large pieces of brown sugar from affecting the filling density of the feeding grid in the template 25, providing a uniform raw material for subsequent pressing and molding, and reducing the problem of voids or uneven hardness in the finished product.

[0030] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned feed inlet 3, the opening of the outer shell 1 is provided with a feed inlet 3 for pouring brown sugar powder into the inner shell 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the feed inlet 3 adopts a funnel-shaped structure, and its bottom outlet is precisely connected to the feed end of the pusher box 7, which can guide the brown sugar powder into the pusher box 7 quickly and in a concentrated manner, reducing the spillage and waste of raw materials.

[0032] In one embodiment, the pusher box 7 is provided with a motor on its side for driving the internal crushing roller to rotate.

[0033] In one embodiment, the housing 1 is slidably connected to the connecting rack 9.

[0034] In one embodiment, the surface of the sliding frame 16 is provided with a gap for the brown sugar powder to fall off.

[0035] The working principle of this invention, a brown sugar briquetting machine, is as follows: First, the sieved brown sugar powder is poured into the feed inlet 3. Then, the brown sugar powder enters the pusher box 7. Two sets of electric rollers inside the pusher box 7 break up large pieces of brown sugar powder, facilitating subsequent filling of the template 25. Then, the pusher box 7 is pushed above the template 25 by the connecting rod 8 on the side of the first electric pusher 2. The pusher box 7 moves back and forth several times above the template 25 to completely fill the material distribution grids on the surface of the template 25. Simultaneously, the movement of the connecting rod 8 drives the connecting rack 9 to move. The movement of the connecting rack 9 meshes with the shell-side gear 10. The rotation of the shell-side gear 10 then drives the internal gear 1 via the belt 12. 3. The housing gear 13 rotates, driving the stabilizing frame 14 to move below the pressing plate 5 via the rack 18 on the side of the frame. During this movement, the wheel-side gear 21 on the top of the stabilizing frame 14 meshes with the rack 22 fixed inside the housing 1, thereby driving the cam 20 to continuously lift the sliding frame 16. A column 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the stabilizing frame 14. When the cam 20 pushes the sliding frame 16, the sliding frame 16 slides along the column 15. The cam 20 is rotatably connected to the connecting block on the top of the stabilizing frame 14. Therefore, the cam 20 rotates via the wheel-side gear 21, causing the cleaning brush 17 to continuously move closer to and away from the pressing block 6 at the bottom of the pressing plate 5. Based on the up-and-down movement of the cleaning brush 17, and... As the pusher box 7 moves above the abutment block 24, it drives the connecting rod 8 to move further. The movement of the connecting rod 8 drives the connecting rack 9 to move, which in turn meshes with the shell-side gear 10. The shell-side gear 10 then uses a belt to drive the inner gear 13 to rotate. The rotation of the inner gear 13 causes the stabilizing frame 14 to slide back and forth under the pressing plate 5, thus cleaning the pressing block 6 at the bottom of the pressing plate 5. After the pusher box 7 has filled the material grid in the abutment block 24, the pusher box 7 is reset by controlling the connecting rod 8 on the side of the first electric pusher block 2. The connecting rod 8 then drives the connecting rack 9 to mesh with the shell-side gear 10 in the opposite direction. The shell-side gear 10 then uses a belt 12 to drive the inner gear 13. 3. Reverse rotation, so that the stabilizing frame 14 returns to its initial position. At this time, the stabilizing frame 14 is no longer below the pressing plate 5. Then, control the second electric push block 4 to push the pressing plate 5 to use the pressing block 6 at its bottom to squeeze the brown sugar powder in the feeding grid of the abutment block 24. After the pressing block 6 has finished squeezing, control the second electric push block 4 to retract the pressing plate 5. Then, the mounting plate 23 pushes the abutment block 24, and then the abutment block 24 pushes upward to push out the brown sugar block in the feeding grid on the surface of the template 25. Then, when the cyclic push box 7 replenishes the brown sugar powder in the feeding grid of the template 25, the brown sugar block will be pushed by the push box 7 to the non-working area inside the outer shell 1, so that the brown sugar block is away from the surface of the template 25. Then the push box 7 returns to perform the filling work.

[0036] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
