Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of agarwood crystal ball production, in particular to a high-efficiency agarwood crystal ball forming mechanism. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, milk tea is becoming more and more popular. It can not only moisten the throat and quench thirst, but also has a good taste. Different ingredients added to milk tea also affect the overall taste of milk tea. Agar balls are chewy and refreshing, with a smooth and throat-soothing taste. Drinks with agar balls are more distinctive and can improve the taste. Therefore, more and more people like to drink drinks with agar balls. Because it is rich in dietary fiber and colloid, it has the characteristics of coagulation, thawing, and re-coagulation without changing its taste, and is easy to use; it also has the effects of eliminating constipation, beautifying, losing weight, and preventing chronic diseases. It can be said to be the most attractive food for modern people. Gradually, it will be tried in baking, food, catering auxiliary products and other fields. In order to meet the existing demand for agar balls, suppliers have increased production efforts.

[0003] However, the traditional molding equipment for producing agarwood balls has defects: the molding mechanism of the existing equipment is a plane with many extrusion holes evenly distributed, and the extruded agarwood balls are pushed down by a push rod. Due to the high viscosity of the agarwood balls, if the density of the extrusion holes is too large, serious adhesion will occur when the push rod is pushed down; if the density of the extrusion holes is small, the production capacity is insufficient. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-efficiency agar-agar crystal ball forming mechanism to solve the problems of low extrusion hole density and low production capacity of traditional agar-agar crystal ball forming equipment.

[0005] The present invention provides a high-efficiency cold crystal ball forming mechanism, comprising:

[0006] Feeding mechanism and forming die head,

[0007] The molding die head comprises an upper shell cover, an extrusion plate and a lower shell cover.

[0008] The top of the upper shell is provided with a feed inlet.

[0009] The extrusion disc is provided with a plurality of extrusion through holes, and the extrusion through holes are provided with extrusion tubes communicating therewith.

[0010] The bottom of the lower shell is provided with a plurality of cooling water holes.

[0011] The upper shell cover and the lower shell cover are fixedly connected, the extrusion plate is fixedly arranged between the upper shell cover and the lower shell cover, a cooling water channel connected to external cooling water is formed between the extrusion plate and the lower shell cover, and the extrusion tube is inserted into the cooling water hole to facilitate the cooling water in the cooling water channel to pass through the cooling gap between the extrusion tube and the cooling water hole.

[0012] The forming die head is communicated with the feeding mechanism through a feeding port at the top of the upper shell cover.

[0013] Preferably, a screw pump is provided between the feeding mechanism and the forming die head to facilitate stable feeding.

[0014] Preferably, a cutting mechanism for cutting the agar-agar crystal balls is also provided at the bottom of the molding die head.

[0015] Preferably, the upper shell cover is a double-layer structure, including an outer shell layer and an inner shell layer, a water inlet gap is formed between the outer shell layer and the inner shell layer, a water inlet pipe is provided outside the outer shell layer to introduce external cooling water into the water inlet gap, and the water inlet gap is connected to the cooling water channel.

[0016] Preferably, the extrusion disk has an extrusion disk flange, a plurality of connecting holes are evenly distributed on the extrusion disk flange, and the water inlet gap is connected with the cooling water channel through the connecting holes.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the extruded tube protrudes from the bottom of the lower shell.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0019] (1) The high-efficiency agar crystal ball forming mechanism of the present invention connects external cooling water with the cooling water channel. The cooling water flows through the cooling water channel and then flows out through the cooling gap between the extrusion tube and the cooling water hole. On the one hand, the extruded agar crystal balls can be quickly cooled so that no adhesion is formed after cutting. On the other hand, when the extruded agar crystal balls are cut, the cooling water flowing out between the extrusion tube and the cooling water hole makes each agar crystal ball covered with cooling water, which is not conducive to the agar crystal balls sticking to each other during cutting. Compared with the traditional agar crystal ball forming mechanism, the production capacity per unit area is increased several times;

[0020] (2) In the present invention, a high-efficiency agar crystal ball forming mechanism is provided with a screw pump between the feeding mechanism and the forming die head, so that the extrusion amount of the forming mechanism can be constant, thereby accurately controlling the production capacity, so that the produced agar crystal balls can achieve a higher consistency;

[0021] (3) The present invention provides an efficient agarwood crystal ball forming mechanism. Compared with conventional equipment, conventional forming equipment requires at least six sets of forming mechanisms to have the same production capacity as the agarwood crystal ball forming mechanism of the present invention. Since agarwood crystal balls have high viscosity and need to be cleaned regularly, conventional forming equipment requires a large amount of manpower to clean all forming equipment one by one, while the present invention only requires one set of forming mechanisms to be cleaned. Therefore, the cleaning workload of the agarwood crystal ball forming mechanism of the present invention is smaller and it is easier to clean. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
