Description

A waste collection device for gel candy production Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of waste collection technology, and in particular to a waste collection device for gel candy production. Background Technology

[0002] Gel candies, also commonly known as soft candies, are a popular type of candy. They are primarily made from sugar and starch syrup, with added agar, modified starch, gelatin, pectin, and other gelling agents. Sometimes, to enhance texture and nutritional value, microcrystals or bubbles of sugar, fruit jams, or fruit pieces are also added.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent CN206437426U, which discloses a waste collection device for gel candy production, used for collecting waste liquid from gel candy production. It discloses a waste liquid collection tank with a sealed, insulated cavity at the bottom, an insulated water inlet on one side and an insulated water outlet on the other. A waste liquid discharge pipe is located at the bottom of one side of the collection tank, connected to a rinsing water discharge pipe. The flow switching between the waste liquid discharge pipe and the rinsing water discharge pipe is controlled by a pneumatic valve connected to the waste liquid discharge pipe. The structure is simple, practical, and effective, avoiding water pollution, reducing the labor intensity of employees, and improving employee work efficiency. However, in actual use, this solution still has the following shortcomings:

[0004] In the production of gel candies, waste liquid collection tanks are responsible for receiving and storing the waste generated during production. However, in practice, when the tank is discharging waste, heating is used alone to melt the gel candy waste liquid adhering to it. Due to its viscous nature, the waste liquid easily adheres to the inner wall of the tank during collection, forming a layer of residue that is difficult to remove. When heating this waste liquid to melt it, uneven heating or insufficient temperature may prevent the viscous waste from melting completely, leaving stubborn stains on the inner wall of the tank. This not only affects the cleanliness of the inner wall of the waste liquid collection tank, reducing the overall hygiene level of the equipment, but may also cause problems for subsequent waste liquid treatment and reuse.

[0005] Therefore, this application provides a gel candy production waste collection device to meet the requirement of quickly cleaning the gel candy waste collection tank. Summary of the Invention

[0060] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0061] 1. This type of gel candy production waste collection device, by setting up a servo motor and cleaning components, uses a servo motor to drive the screw to rotate, and uses scrapers and scraper strips to thoroughly clean the inner wall of the recycling tank. Both the bottom and the top can be effectively cleaned. The design of the scrapers and scraper strips ensures that the waste adhering to the inner wall of the recycling tank can be thoroughly scraped off, avoiding waste residue and improving the recycling efficiency and quality of waste liquid.

[0062] 2. This type of gel candy production waste collection device, through the setting of a stirring component and linkage structure, drives the buoyancy filter frame to rotate by rotating the sleeve when the servo motor reverses, using centrifugal force to throw out and collect large impurities. At the same time, the reciprocating oscillation and rotation of the stirring plate achieves uniform mixing of the waste liquid. This stirring and mixing method not only improves the uniformity of the waste liquid, but also helps to fully mix the cleaned waste with the remaining waste liquid in the recycling tank, which is convenient for subsequent discharge and treatment.

[0063] 3. This type of gel candy production waste collection device, by setting up a fixed frame and a display trigger component, utilizes the principle that the buoyancy filter frame rises with the liquid level of the waste liquid. The display trigger component displays the liquid level in the recycling tank in real time. When the liquid level reaches its highest point, a switch is triggered by magnetic repulsion, automatically turning on the servo motor and heating wire, thus realizing automated control and intelligent management. Furthermore, operators can intuitively understand the liquid level inside the recycling tank by observing the movement of the connecting block and the pointer, improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0076] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are used only to indicate relative positional relationships; when the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0078] As shown in Figures 1 to 9, a waste collection device for gel candy production includes a recycling tank 1 and an inlet pipe 2. A heating wire is installed inside the recycling tank 1. The inlet pipe 2 is located on the top surface of the recycling tank 1, and a discharge pipe 3 is located on the bottom surface of the recycling tank 1. The device also includes: a servo motor 4, fixedly installed at the edge of the top surface of the recycling tank 1; a cleaning component, located inside the recycling tank 1, used to clean adhering materials from the inner wall of the recycling tank 1; and a rotating sleeve 7, rotatably installed on the inner top surface of the recycling tank 1, with the top end of the rotating sleeve 7 and the output end of the servo motor 4 both fitted together. It has one-way bearings, and the two one-way bearings are connected by a driven wheel and a synchronous belt drive; the buoyancy filter frame 6 is slidably fitted on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 7 through a sliding groove and a slider; the stirring assembly is set on the rotating sleeve 7 and is used to mix the waste material cleaned out of the recovery tank 1; the linkage structure is set between the buoyancy filter frame 6 and the inner wall of the recovery tank 1 and is used to drive the buoyancy filter frame 6; the fixing frame 10 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the recovery tank 1; the display trigger assembly is set on the fixing frame 10 and is used to trigger the servo motor 4 and display the liquid level in the recovery tank 1.

[0079] In use, waste liquid from the production of gel candies can be added to the recycling tank 1 through the feed pipe 2. Once full, it can be discharged through the discharge pipe 3 for centralized treatment. When the waste liquid is collected in the recycling tank 1, the liquid level rises and, under the action of buoyancy, drives the buoyancy filter frame 6 to slide upward along the rotating sleeve 7. During the upward sliding of the buoyancy filter frame 6, the liquid level in the recycling tank 1 can be displayed through the display trigger component. When the liquid level in the recycling tank 1 reaches its maximum, the servo motor 4 and the heating wire inside the recycling tank 1 can be turned on. The heating wire can heat the waste liquid in the recycling tank 1. When the servo motor 4 is turned on, the cleaning component can clean the adhering substances on the inner wall of the recycling tank 1. When the servo motor 4 reverses, the waste liquid in the recycling tank 1 can be stirred and mixed through the linkage structure and the stirring component, so that the cleaned waste can be mixed with the remaining waste liquid in the recycling tank 1 for centralized discharge.

[0080] As shown in Figures 2, 3, and 5, the cleaning assembly includes: a drive screw 51, fixedly installed at the output end of the servo motor 4; a buoyancy ring 52, slidably fitted on the outer wall of the drive screw 51, with the inner wall of the buoyancy ring 52 movably connected to the outer wall of the buoyancy filter frame 6; a material collection ring box 12 corresponding to the buoyancy ring 52 is provided on the upper outer wall of the recycling tank 1; a guide port 13 corresponding to the material collection ring box 12 is opened on the outer wall of the recycling tank 1; a lifting ring 53, threadedly fitted on the outer wall of the drive screw 51; two scraper blades 54, symmetrically fixedly fitted on the outer wall of the lifting ring 53, with the outer wall of the scraper blades 54 fitting against the inner wall of the recycling tank 1; a bevel gear ring 55, rotatably installed on the bottom inner wall of the recycling tank 1; several scraper blades 56, arranged in a ring array and fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the bevel gear ring 55, with the scraper blades 56 inclined; and a driven bevel gear 57, fixedly installed at the bottom end of the drive screw 51, with the driven bevel gear 57 meshing with the bevel gear ring 55.

[0081] When the servo motor 4 is turned on, it can first rotate forward. When the servo motor 4 rotates forward, since the rotating sleeve 7 and the one-way bearing mounted on the output end of the servo motor 4 are in a free direction, the servo motor 4 can only drive the drive screw 51 to rotate and cannot drive the rotating sleeve 7 to rotate. When the drive screw 51 rotates, it can drive the scraper 56 to rotate through the driven bevel gear 57 and bevel gear ring 55, so that the scraper 56 scrapes and cleans the inner wall of the bottom of the recycling tank 1. At the same time, since the lifting ring 53 is screwed to the outer wall of the drive screw 51 and the scraper 54 is in contact with the inner wall of the recycling tank 1, the drive screw 51 can drive the lifting ring 53 and the scraper 54 to slide when it rotates, so that the scraper 54 can scrape and clean the attached material on the upper inner wall of the recycling tank 1. Then the servo motor 4 reverses, at which time it can synchronously drive the rotating sleeve 7 to rotate.

[0082] As shown in Figures 3, 6, and 7, the stirring assembly includes: three sets of openings 81 arranged in a linear array on the rotating sleeve 7, with two openings 81 in each set and arranged symmetrically; several rotating shafts 82, rotatably mounted on the bottom inner walls of the openings 81; several rotating plates 83, fixedly mounted on the rotating shafts 82; several stirring plates 84, fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating plates 83, the stirring plates 84 being adapted to the openings 81; several torsion springs 85, each mounted on the rotating shafts 82; and a transmission mechanism disposed within the rotating sleeve 7.

[0083] As shown in Figure 7, the transmission mechanism includes: several connecting plates 86, which are fixedly installed on the ends of several rotating plates 83 away from the stirring plate 84, and the connecting plates 86 are L-shaped; a transmission rod 87, which is slidably installed on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 7 through a bracket; a spring 88, which is fixedly installed between the bottom surface of the transmission rod 87 and the inner bottom wall of the rotating sleeve 7; three lifting rings 89, which are linearly arrayed and fixedly fitted on the transmission rod 87, and the lifting rings 89 are adapted to the connecting plates 86; two guide ports 810, which are symmetrically opened at the top of the rotating sleeve 7; and a lifting plate 811, which is fixedly installed at the top of the transmission rod 87, and the two ends of the lifting plate 811 pass through the two guide ports 810 respectively.

[0084] During the upward sliding of the buoyancy filter frame 6 along the rotating sleeve 7 by buoyancy, the stirring plate 84 is initially located inside the opening 81 and will not affect the sliding of the buoyancy filter frame 6 along the rotating sleeve 7. When the buoyancy filter frame 6 reaches the highest liquid level, it can push the lifting plate 811 and drive the lifting plate 811 and the transmission rod 87 to move upward along the guide port 810. When the transmission rod 87 moves upward, it can drive the lifting ring 89 to move upward. During the upward movement of the lifting ring 89, it can move the connecting plate 86, thereby driving the rotating plate 83 and the stirring plate 84 to rotate out of the opening 81 and unfold.

[0085] As shown in Figures 3 and 8, the linkage structure includes: a corrugated guide groove 91, which is formed on the outer wall of the buoyancy filter frame 6; a clearance opening 92, which is formed on the top surface of the buoyancy filter frame 6 and is connected to the corrugated guide groove 91; a guide rod 93, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the recovery tank 1; a through opening 94, which is formed on the top surface of the buoyancy ring 52 and corresponds to the guide rod 93; and a cover plate 95, which is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the recovery tank 1 above the guide rod 93 and is adapted to the through opening 94.

[0086] When the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 move to the highest liquid level, the guide rod 93 can enter the corrugated guide groove 91 through the clearance port 92, and the cover plate 95 can be located in the opening 94 to cover the opening 94. When the rotating sleeve 7 rotates, it can drive the buoyancy filter frame 6 to rotate. When the buoyancy filter frame 6 rotates, the large impurities filtered out at the top can be thrown out under the action of centrifugal force and enter the collection ring box 12 through the guide port 13 for collection. At the same time, since the guide rod 93 is in a fixed state, when the buoyancy filter frame 6 rotates, the guide rod 93 will be in a fixed state. When used in conjunction with the corrugated guide groove 91, it can move vertically back and forth synchronously on the inner wall of the buoyancy ring 52. Since the buoyancy filter frame 6 pushes the lifting plate 811, the buoyancy filter frame 6 can drive the lifting plate 811 and the transmission rod 87 to move back and forth during the reciprocating movement. Thus, under the action of the lifting ring 89 and the connecting plate 86, the rotating plate 83 and the stirring plate 84 can be driven to rotate back and forth. With the rotation of the rotating sleeve 7 and the reciprocating swing of the stirring plate 84, the waste liquid in the recovery tank 1 is mixed more evenly.

[0087] As shown in Figures 1 and 9, the trigger assembly includes: a take-up reel 111, rotatably mounted on the top surface of the mounting frame 10; a pull rope 112, disposed inside the take-up reel 111, with one end of the pull rope 112 away from the take-up reel 111 passing through the top surface of the recycling tank 1 and fixedly connected to the top surface of the buoyancy ring 52; a mounting plate 113, fixedly mounted on the top surface of the mounting frame 10; a second torsion spring 114, disposed at the end of the take-up reel 111, with both ends of the second torsion spring 114 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 113 and the take-up reel 111 respectively; a linkage screw 115, threadedly fitted onto the inner wall of the take-up reel 111; a guide groove 116, formed on the side of the mounting plate 113; a connecting block 117, slidably mounted on the inner wall of the guide groove 116, with the end of the connecting block 117 fixedly connected to the end of the linkage screw 115; and a trigger mechanism, disposed on the side of the take-up reel 111 away from the mounting plate 113.

[0088] As shown in Figure 9, the triggering mechanism includes: an energized coil 118, which is disposed at the end of the take-up reel 111 away from the fixed plate 113; a trigger switch 119, which is fixedly installed at the end of the fixed frame 10, and the trigger switch 119 is electrically connected to the servo motor 4 through a wire; and a magnetic plate 1110, which is slidably installed on the top surface of the fixed frame 10 between the energized coil 118 and the trigger switch 119.

[0089] Initially, the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 are located at the bottom of the recovery tank 1. As the waste liquid is introduced, the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 rise with the liquid level in the recovery tank 1 under the action of buoyancy. As the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 gradually slide upward, the winding reel 111 rotates under the action of the torsion spring 114 to gradually wind up the pull rope 112. Furthermore, since the linkage screw 115 is screwed to the winding reel 111 and passes through the guide groove... 116. The connecting block 117 is slidably connected to the fixing plate 113. Therefore, when the winding reel 111 rotates, it can drive the linkage screw 115 to slide along the guide groove 116 and penetrate into the energized coil 118. As the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 rise to the highest liquid level, the linkage screw 115 can be inserted into the energized coil 118. After the metal linkage screw 115 is inserted into the energized coil 118, a magnetic force can be generated, and the energized coil 118 is opposite to the magnetic plate 1110. Since the magnetic poles are the same, the magnetic plate 1110 can press the trigger switch 119 under the action of magnetic repulsion, thereby turning on the servo motor 4 and the heating wire. At the same time, a pointer can be connected to the connecting block 117, and a scale line can be set on the fixing plate 113. The operator can intuitively understand the liquid level inside the recycling tank 1 by observing the movement of the connecting block 117 and the pointer. During the discharge of waste liquid, as the liquid level drops, when the buoyancy filter frame 6 separates from the lifting plate 811, the transmission rod 87 can also be reset under the action of the spring 88, so that the stirring plate 84 rotates back into the opening 81. The buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 can move downwards and drive the winding reel 111 to reverse. As the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 are reset, the linkage screw 115 can also be reset, the energized coil 118 loses its magnetic force, and the trigger switch 119 can turn off the servo motor 4 and the heating wire, so that the waste liquid can continue to be collected through the recycling tank 1.

[0090] The technical solution provided by this invention allows waste liquid from gel candy production to be added to the recycling tank 1 via the feed pipe 2. Once full, the waste liquid can be discharged through the discharge pipe 3 for centralized treatment. When the waste liquid is collected in the recycling tank 1, the rising liquid level causes the buoyancy filter frame 6 to slide upward along the rotating sleeve 7. During the upward sliding of the buoyancy filter frame 6, the liquid level in the recycling tank 1 can be displayed via the display trigger component. When the liquid level in the recycling tank 1 reaches its maximum, the servo motor 4 and the heating wire inside the recycling tank 1 can be turned on. The heating wire can heat the waste liquid in the recycling tank 1. When the servo motor 4 is turned on, the cleaning component can clean the deposits on the inner wall of the recycling tank 1. When the servo motor 4 reverses, the waste liquid in the recycling tank 1 can be stirred and mixed through the linkage structure and the stirring component, so that the cleaned waste can be mixed with the remaining waste liquid in the recycling tank 1 for centralized discharge.

[0091] Specifically, in the initial state, the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 are located at the bottom of the recovery tank 1. As the waste liquid is introduced, the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 can rise with the liquid level in the recovery tank 1 under the action of buoyancy. As the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 gradually slide upward, the winding reel 111 can rotate under the action of the torsion spring 114 to gradually wind up the pull rope 112. Since the linkage screw 115 is screwed to the winding reel 111 and is slidably connected to the fixing plate 113 through the guide groove 116 and the connecting block 117, the rotation of the winding reel 111 can drive the linkage screw 115 to slide along the guide groove 116 and penetrate into the energized coil 1. In step 18, as the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 rise to the highest liquid level, the linkage screw 115 is inserted into the position of the energized coil 118. After the metal linkage screw 115 is inserted into the energized coil 118, a magnetic force is generated. The magnetic poles of the energized coil 118 and the magnetic plate 1110 are the same. Therefore, under the action of magnetic repulsion, the magnetic plate 1110 can press the trigger switch 119, thereby turning on the servo motor 4 and the heating wire. At the same time, a pointer can be connected to the connecting block 117, and a scale line can be set on the fixing plate 113. The operator can intuitively understand the liquid level inside the recovery tank 1 by observing the movement of the connecting block 117 and the pointer.

[0092] During the process of the buoyancy filter frame 6 sliding upward along the rotating sleeve 7 by buoyancy, the stirring plate 84 is initially located inside the opening 81 and will not affect the sliding of the buoyancy filter frame 6 along the rotating sleeve 7. When the buoyancy filter frame 6 reaches the highest liquid level, it can push the lifting plate 811 and drive the lifting plate 811 and the transmission rod 87 to move upward along the guide port 810. When the transmission rod 87 moves upward, it can drive the lifting ring 89 to move upward. During the upward movement of the lifting ring 89, it can move the connecting plate 86, thereby driving the rotating plate 83 and the stirring plate 84 to rotate out of the opening 81 and unfold.

[0093] When the servo motor 4 is turned on by trigger switch 119, the servo motor 4 can first rotate forward. When the servo motor 4 rotates forward, since the rotating sleeve 7 and the one-way bearing mounted on the output end of the servo motor 4 are in a free direction, the servo motor 4 can only drive the drive screw 51 to rotate and cannot drive the rotating sleeve 7 to rotate. When the drive screw 51 rotates, it can drive the scraper 56 to rotate through the driven bevel gear 57 and bevel gear ring 55, so that the scraper 56 scrapes and cleans the inner wall of the bottom of the recycling tank 1. At the same time, since the lifting ring 53 is screwed to the outer wall of the drive screw 51 and the scraper 54 is in contact with the inner wall of the recycling tank 1, the drive screw 51 can drive the lifting ring 53 and the scraper 54 to slide when it rotates, so that the scraper 54 can scrape and clean the attached material on the upper inner wall of the recycling tank 1. Then the servo motor 4 reverses, at which time it can synchronously drive the rotating sleeve 7 to rotate.

[0094] When the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 move to the highest liquid level, the guide rod 93 can enter the corrugated guide groove 91 through the relief port 92, and the cover plate 95 can be located in the opening 94 to cover the opening 94. When the buoyancy filter frame 6 moves downward, the guide rod 93 can also move out of the corrugated guide groove 91 through the relief port 92. When the rotating sleeve 7 rotates, it can drive the buoyancy filter frame 6 to rotate. When the buoyancy filter frame 6 rotates, the large impurities filtered out at the top can be thrown out under the action of centrifugal force and collected in the collection ring box 12 through the feed inlet 13. At the same time, because the guide rod 93 is in a fixed position... In a fixed state, the buoyancy filter frame 6 can move vertically back and forth synchronously on the inner wall of the buoyancy ring 52 with the cooperation of the guide rod 93 and the corrugated guide groove 91 when it rotates. Since the buoyancy filter frame 6 pushes the lifting plate 811, the buoyancy filter frame 6 can drive the lifting plate 811 and the transmission rod 87 to move back and forth during the reciprocating movement. Thus, under the action of the lifting ring 89 and the connecting plate 86, the rotating plate 83 and the stirring plate 84 can be driven to rotate back and forth. With the rotation of the rotating sleeve 7 and the reciprocating swing of the stirring plate 84, the waste liquid in the recovery tank 1 is mixed more evenly.

[0095] After mixing, the waste liquid can be discharged through the discharge pipe 3. During the discharge process, as the liquid level drops, the buoyancy filter frame 6 separates from the lifting plate 811. Under the action of the spring 88, the transmission rod 87 can also be reset, so that the stirring plate 84 rotates back into the opening 81. The buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 can move downward and drive the winding reel 111 to reverse. As the buoyancy ring 52 and the buoyancy filter frame 6 are reset, the linkage screw 115 can also be reset. The energized coil 118 loses its magnetic force, and the trigger switch 119 can turn off the servo motor 4 and the heating wire, so that the waste liquid can continue to be collected through the recycling tank 1.
