Description

A molding device for grain-based popping boba. Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of popping boba production technology, and more particularly to a molding device for grain-based popping boba. Background Technology

[0002] Popping beads are spherical capsules made by cross-linking sodium alginate and calcium ions. They contain a fluid core liquid and are encased in a spherical gel. The core liquid can be various flavored liquid jams or juices, or different types of solid grains or fruit particles, thus enabling the creation of a wide variety of products.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent publication number CN217614553U, which discloses a coating and forming device for a fruit pulp popping bead production equipment. The device includes: a mounting bracket, a reaction tank, an aerator, and a solid-liquid separation mechanism. The reaction tank has an inlet pipe at its head end and a discharge head at its tail end. The bottom of the reaction tank has several aeration holes, each equipped with a one-way valve. The reaction tank contains sodium alginate forming liquid. The solid-liquid separation mechanism separates the finished product from the sodium alginate forming liquid. The reaction tank is inclined on the mounting bracket. The aerator is connected to all one-way valves via pipes. The solid-liquid separation mechanism is located directly below the discharge head.

[0004] During operation, the popping beads are directly discharged from the discharge head after the reaction and forming. The formed popping beads may be irregular droplet shapes, affecting the product shape and bursting taste. Summary of the Invention

[0027] Example 1

[0028] A molding device for grain-based popping boba, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, includes a molding box 1. A dropper mechanism 2 is provided at the top of the molding box 1. A solid-liquid separation box 3 is provided on one side of the molding box 1, and a cleaning component 4 is provided on the other side of the solid-liquid separation box 3. A molding cavity 6 is provided inside the molding box 1. The molding cavity 6 is conical, with its narrow end inclined towards the ground. The solid-liquid separation box 3 includes a box body 7 and multiple arc-shaped perforated plates 8. The box body 7 is fixed to the outer wall of the molding box 1 on one side of the narrow end of the molding cavity 6, and the top of the box body 7 communicates with the molding cavity 6. The arc-shaped perforated plates 8 are fixed to the inner wall of the box body 7, and the multiple arc-shaped perforated plates 8 are staggered. The cleaning assembly 4, arranged longitudinally, includes a protective cover 9 and a conveyor belt 10. The protective cover 9 is located on one side of the bottom of the housing 7, and the conveyor belt 10 is located on the inner wall of the protective cover 9. A pushing block 11 is fixed to the inner wall of the protective cover 9. The gap between the pushing block 11 and the protective cover 9 is larger than the diameter of a single popping bead. A nozzle 15 is provided on the outer wall of the bottom of the pushing block 11. The nozzle 15 is connected to an external water supply device. One end of the housing 7 is connected to the protective cover 9, and a guide plate 16 is connected to the outer wall of the housing 7. A return pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the housing 7, and the other end of the return pipe 5 is connected to the forming cavity 6. A circulation pump is provided in the middle section of the return pipe 5.

[0029] During production, the dripping mechanism 2 drips raw materials into the forming cavity 6. The raw materials react with the forming liquid in the forming cavity 6 to form popping beads. Since the forming cavity 6 is conical, the formed popping beads will roll and gather towards the narrow end of the forming cavity 6 and enter the housing 7. They will roll down along multiple arc-shaped perforated plates 8 in sequence, causing the popping beads to roll and form repeatedly. At the same time, the popping beads are separated from the forming liquid. The forming liquid passes through the arc-shaped perforated plates 8 and gathers at the bottom of the housing 7. It then flows back into the forming cavity 6 through the return pipe 5 and the circulation pump. Then, the popping beads fall onto the surface of the conveyor belt 10 through the guide plate 16. The pushing block 11 makes the popping beads arranged in a single layer on the surface of the conveyor belt 10. Then, the return pipe 5 washes the popping beads.

[0030] By setting an arc-shaped perforated plate 8, when separating the popping beads from the molding liquid, the popping beads are repeatedly rolled and formed on the surface of the arc-shaped perforated plate 8, so that the shape of the popping beads is uniform and the molding quality of the popping beads is improved.

[0031] By setting the molding cavity 6 to a cone shape, the formed popping beads can be made to gather and flow out towards the narrow end of the molding cavity 6, avoiding the presence of depressions on both sides of the connection between the molding cavity 6 and the housing 7, which would cause the popping beads to stay in the molding cavity 6 and not be completely discharged.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] A grain-based popping bead forming device, based on embodiment 1, with the following improvements, as shown in Figures 1 and 4: the outer wall of the conveyor belt 10 is provided with a V-shaped groove; multiple rotating rollers 14 are rotatably connected to the bottom outer wall of the push block 11, and the multiple rotating rollers 14 are arranged in a straight line; a transmission box 12 is provided on the side wall of the protective cover 9; a motor 13 is provided on the outer wall of the transmission box 12; a driving pulley 18 and multiple driven pulleys 17 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the transmission box 12, and the driven pulleys 17 are arranged in a straight line; the driving pulley 18 and the driven pulleys 17 are driven by a toothed belt 19; the output shaft of the motor 13 is connected to the driving pulley 18; and the rotating shaft of the driven pulleys 17 is connected to the rotating rollers 14.

[0034] When the popping beads fall onto the surface of the conveyor belt 10, the V-groove limits the popping beads. The motor 13 drives the drive pulley 18 to rotate. Through the transmission of the drive pulley 18, toothed belt 19 and driven pulley 17, the rotating roller 14 rotates in the opposite direction to the conveyor belt 10. When the popping beads move below the rotating roller 14, the rotating roller 14 contacts the surface of the popping beads, driving the popping beads to rotate, so that the surface of the popping beads can be thoroughly washed.

[0035] By setting up a transmission box 12, a motor 13 and a rotating roller 14, the popping beads are driven to rotate during rinsing, so that the surface of the popping beads is rinsed more thoroughly.

[0036] Working principle: During production, the dripping mechanism 2 drips raw material into the molding cavity 6. The raw material reacts with the molding liquid in the molding cavity 6 to form popping beads. Since the molding cavity 6 is conical, the formed popping beads will roll and gather towards the narrow end of the molding cavity 6, enter the housing 7, and roll down along multiple arc-shaped perforated plates 8 in sequence, causing the popping beads to roll and form repeatedly. At the same time, the popping beads are separated from the molding liquid. The molding liquid passes through the arc-shaped perforated plates 8, collects at the bottom of the housing 7, and flows back into the molding cavity 6 through the return pipe 5 and the circulation pump. Then the popping beads are guided... Plate 16 rests on the surface of conveyor belt 10. The V-groove limits the popping beads, and push block 11 makes the popping beads arranged in a single layer on the surface of conveyor belt 10. Then, return pipe 5 washes the popping beads. At the same time, motor 13 drives drive pulley 18 to rotate. Through the transmission of drive pulley 18, toothed belt 19 and driven pulley 17, drive rotating roller 14 to rotate in the opposite direction to conveyor belt 10. When the popping beads move to below rotating roller 14, rotating roller 14 contacts the surface of popping beads, driving popping beads to rotate.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and application concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
