Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cotton candy equipment, and in particular to a steam humidification type cotton candy machine. Background Art

[0002] In the production process of marshmallows, humidity control is very important. When the humidity is high, the marshmallows are easy to melt, and when the humidity is low, the marshmallows are fluffy and dry, resulting in poor viscosity and difficult production. In the marshmallow machine, a humidifier is used to adjust the humidity during the marshmallow production process.

[0003] In response to the humidity problem during marshmallow making, Chinese patent application publication number "CN112524726A" discloses an invention patent application for "a new type of burner with integrated humidifier structure", which discloses "a new type of burner with integrated humidifier structure, including a fixed plate, a motor is fixedly connected to the bottom right end of the fixed plate, a driving pulley is installed at the output end of the motor, a driven pulley is provided on the left side of the driving pulley, and a rotating shaft is connected to the driven pulley by bolts. Through the combination of various structures, the present invention enables the device to not only intelligently monitor the burner during use, but also use the temperature of the burner itself to spray water on the rotating burner to generate water vapor, thereby increasing the humidity of the air around the burner, and effectively utilize the excess energy of the burner, reduce costs and save equipment space, thereby reducing the temperature of the burner, replacing the traditional method of manual humidification by artificial feeling or using a humidifier, thereby improving work efficiency and extending the service life of the equipment, and the device is simple in structure and saves costs." The technical solution of this patent has the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1. Spray water directly on the burner to generate water vapor. This water spraying method will not generate water vapor for all the water sprayed on the burner, so the utilization rate of water converted into water vapor to humidify the air is low, requiring a large amount of water consumption and generating more wastewater.

[0005] 2. In winter, due to excessive internal humidity and high temperature operation of the burner device, a large amount of condensation may easily occur inside the marshmallow machine.

[0006] 3. During humidification, a large amount of water is sprayed directly onto the burner device, which will cause the temperature of the burner device to drop. The temperature of the burner device may not reach the temperature for melting sugar, and some sugar particles will not melt into syrup, or the burner device may take a long time to return to the optimal heating temperature, thereby affecting the stability of marshmallow production or affecting the quality of the marshmallows produced. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to overcome the problems existing in the related art, the present application provides a steam humidification type cotton candy machine, which has a high water utilization rate, will not affect the stability of cotton candy production or the quality of the produced cotton candy, and will not cause condensation in the cotton candy machine in winter.

[0008] The present application provides a steam humidification type cotton candy machine, comprising: a shell, a sugar-making chamber and a controller are arranged in the shell, a detection unit and a burner device are arranged in the sugar-making chamber, and the controller is connected to the detection unit and the burner device; a burner body is arranged on the burner device, a heating component is arranged on the lower side of the burner body, a machine base is arranged on the lower side of the heating component, a humidifying component and a motor component are arranged on the machine base, a motor and a rotating shaft connected to the motor are arranged on the motor component, the rotating shaft is connected to the burner body, the rotating shaft is a hollow shaft, and a feeding pipe is arranged in the rotating shaft; a sugar-making chamber is arranged in the burner body, the feeding pipe is connected to the sugar-making chamber, the feeding pipe feeds sugar particles into the sugar-making chamber, and the heating component heats the sugar-making chamber to melt the sugar particles into syrup; the sugar-making chamber is provided with a tooth opening connected to the sugar-making chamber, and the syrup is thrown out of the sugar-making chamber through the tooth opening; the humidifying component is connected to the sugar-making chamber and humidifies the sugar-making chamber. The water absorbed by the humidification component is sprayed into the sugar-making chamber to evaporate into water vapor, and is evenly scattered into the sugar-making chamber under the action of centrifugal force, which can fully absorb heat and convert it into water vapor with high efficiency, thereby achieving high water utilization rate, low water consumption, and almost no excess wastewater.

[0009] Furthermore, a fixing seat is provided on the machine base, a bearing is provided on the fixing seat, the bearing is connected to the rotating shaft, and the humidifying component is arranged in the fixing seat. The humidifying component absorbs the heat of the fixing seat, dissipates the heat for the fixing seat, and preheats the water of the humidifying component, so that the water can be converted into water vapor more quickly in the sugar-making chamber.

[0010] Furthermore, the humidifying component is provided with a water inlet, a water outlet and a water circuit, the water circuit is connected with the water inlet and the water outlet, and the water circuit is arranged in the fixing seat. Water cooling is used to dissipate heat for the fixing seat and preheat the water of the humidifying component.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing seat is provided with a through hole, the bearing is arranged in the through hole, and the water circuit is arranged around the through hole. The water circuit is used to dissipate heat for the bearing, thereby reducing the loss of the bearing and extending the life of the bearing.

[0012] Furthermore, a water delivery pipe is provided in the feed pipe, one end of which is connected to the sugar-making chamber, and the other end is connected to the water outlet. The preheated water of the humidifying assembly extends into the sugar-making chamber through the water delivery pipe provided in the feed pipe, which has a simple structure and does not damage the original structure.

[0013] Furthermore, a water storage chamber is provided at the bottom of the candy making chamber, and the water supply pipe is connected to the water storage chamber. Water in the water supply pipe enters the water storage chamber to further absorb heat, and then is evenly sprinkled into the candy making chamber in the water storage chamber, so that the water conversion rate is higher and the conversion speed is faster.

[0014] Furthermore, the water storage chamber is located at the upper end of the rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is arranged at the center of the water storage chamber, so that the water storage chamber rotates at high speed with the rotating shaft, and under the action of centrifugal force, the water in the water storage chamber is evenly sprinkled into the sugar-generating chamber, so that the heat absorption is more uniform and the conversion rate is higher.

[0015] Furthermore, a water retaining member is provided on the upper side of the water storage chamber, and the feed pipe passes through the water retaining member and extends into the sugar dispensing chamber. The water retaining member is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes, and the water outlet holes are distributed around the feed pipe. This ensures that the water in the humidifying assembly will not affect the material in the feed pipe, and will not adhere to the sugar particles. At the same time, the water outlet holes are distributed around the feed pipe, so that the water can be evenly dispersed into the sugar dispensing chamber, and the water dispersed into the sugar dispensing chamber is as far away from the pipe opening of the feed pipe as possible.

[0016] Furthermore, the water outlet is inclined from the center to the outside, so that water can be easily sprinkled into the sugar-generating cavity and thrown out to the sugar-making cavity under the action of centrifugal force, thereby preventing excess water vapor from remaining in the sugar-generating cavity and affecting the formation of sugar threads.

[0017] Furthermore, the inner side of the water retaining member is provided with an arc-shaped groove, and a clamping part connected to the edge of the groove is connected to the water storage chamber. The water from the water supply pipe is directly sprayed into the high-speed rotating groove and is dispersed, and further absorbs heat in the groove, so that the water is turned into water vapor or small water droplets, which are converted into water vapor more quickly or with higher conversion efficiency in the sugar-making chamber, and no excess water droplets will remain in the sugar-making chamber to affect the sugar-making stability of the burner body.

[0018] The technical solution provided by the present application may include the following beneficial effects: the steam humidification type cotton candy machine sprays the water after the humidification component absorbs the heat of the fixed seat and the bearing into the sugar-making chamber to evaporate into water vapor. The heat required to be absorbed by the utilization method of this steam is reduced, and the energy consumption required to be provided by the heating component is reduced, so that the sugar-making chamber quickly restores the optimal heating temperature, and will not affect the production of cotton candy. At the same time, the water that has absorbed heat is evenly sprinkled into the sugar-making chamber under the action of centrifugal force, which can fully absorb heat and be converted into water vapor with high efficiency, thereby making the water utilization rate high, consuming less water, and almost no excess waste water. In addition, the humidification component absorbs the heat of the fixed seat and the bearing, so that the fixed seat and the bearing are not easily damaged by the high-temperature working environment, thereby extending the life of the bearing and further extending the life of the burner device. In addition, the humidified water directly enters the sugar-making chamber, and the water vapor is sprayed out of the sugar-making chamber to humidify the working environment. The amount of water vapor is generated under the monitoring of the detection unit, and there will be no excessive humidity, and no condensation in winter.

In addition, a manipulator 600 and a stick discharging device 700 are also arranged in the sugar making chamber 200. The stick discharging device 700 provides a sugar stick for the production of cotton candy. The manipulator 600 clamps the sugar stick and wraps the sugar thread on the burner device 400 to make cotton candy. The manipulator 600 also transfers the cotton candy after production to the sugar taking space 500 to wait for collection. In this embodiment, a space for discharging the stick device 700 is also provided above the sugar-making chamber 200, and a storage space is also provided below the sugar-making chamber 200. The burner device 400 is provided in the storage space and partially exposed in the sugar-making chamber 200. The storage space is also provided with components such as a water tank and a sugar jar, which do not affect the appearance and are convenient for replacement and use. In some embodiments, a humidity circulation system is also provided in the sugar-making chamber 200, and the humidity circulation system is connected to the burner device 400, so that the working environment of the entire cotton candy is in an internal circulation state, which is clean and sanitary, and avoids pollution from the external environment.

[0060] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The burner device 400 is provided with a burner body 1, a heating assembly 2 is provided at the lower side of the burner body 1, and a machine base 3 is provided at the lower side of the heating assembly 2. The burner body 1 is used to make sugar threads, so that the sugar threads are thrown out and wound into cotton candy. The heating assembly 2 is used to heat the burner body 1, so that the sugar particles in the burner body 1 are turned into syrup, which is thrown out to form sugar threads. The machine base 3 is used to support the heating assembly 2 and the burner body 1, and fix the heating assembly 2 under the burner body 1 so that the burner body 1 can be effectively heated.

[0061] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The machine base 3 is provided with a humidifying assembly 4 and a motor assembly 5. The humidifying assembly 4 is used to humidify the burner body 1, so that the entire sugar-making chamber 200 is in an optimal humidity for processing cotton candy, so that the cotton candy produced is dense and saturated, and the quality is stable and good. The motor assembly 5 is used to drive the burner body 1, so that the burner body 1 rotates at a high speed, so as to throw out the syrup in the burner body 1, and under the action of centrifugal force, the sugar filaments are thrown into the sugar-making chamber 200, and the manipulator 600 clamps the sugar stick to wind the sugar filaments into various cotton candies.

[0062] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The motor assembly 5 is provided with a motor 51 and a rotating shaft 52 connected to the motor 51, and one end of the rotating shaft 52 is connected to the burner body 1. In this embodiment, the burner body 1 and the rotating shaft 52 are fixedly connected, and the burner body 1 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 52. The rotating shaft 52 is a hollow shaft, and a feeding pipe 6 is provided in the rotating shaft 52, and the feeding pipe 6 passes through the rotating shaft 52 and extends into the burner body 1.

[0063] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The burner body 1 is provided with a burner base 11 and a burner cover 13. The burner base 11 is provided with a concave sugar-making chamber 12. The burner cover 13 is provided above the sugar-making chamber 12. The feed pipe 6 is connected with the sugar-making chamber 12. The feed pipe 6 feeds sugar granules into the sugar-making chamber 12. The heating component 2 heats the sugar-making chamber 12 and melts the sugar granules into syrup. The sugar-making chamber 12 is provided with a tooth opening connected with the sugar-making chamber 200. The syrup is thrown out into the sugar-making chamber 200 through the tooth opening. In this embodiment, the tooth opening is provided between the burner cover 13 and the burner base 11, and a circumference is formed along the edge of the burner cover 13. When the burner body 1 is rotated at a high speed, under the action of centrifugal force, it is convenient to throw the syrup out of the tooth opening and form uniform and delicate sugar threads.

[0064] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The burner cover 13 is provided with a plurality of through holes 131, so that when the air pump delivers sugar and water from the feed pipe 6 to the sugar-making chamber 12, the entire feed pipe 6 can be kept ventilated, so that the feeding direction is unified. A water retaining disc 132 is also provided on the lower side of the through hole 131 to prevent the sugar particles in the feed pipe 6 from entering the sugar-making chamber 12 and partially being thrown out of the through hole 131, blocking the through hole 131 or being thrown out to the sugar-making chamber 200, and being entangled on the marshmallows, thereby affecting the quality and taste of the marshmallows. The water retaining disc 132 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the burner cover 13, and a water retaining plate 133 is also arranged between the water retaining disc 132 and the inner wall surface of the burner. The water retaining disc 132 is a hollow conical table structure, and the water retaining disc 132 is arranged in the middle position of the inner wall surface of the burner cover 13, and the water retaining plate 133 is an annular plate formed on the outer periphery of the water retaining disc 132. The water retaining disc 132 can change the direction of water flow, flush downward, and spin at high speed to achieve a good cleaning effect. At the same time, it can also change the direction of sugar particles fed into the feeding pipe 6, so that the sugar particles fed into the sugar dispensing chamber 12 hit the water retaining disc 132 and then evenly sprinkle sugar downward. The water retaining plate 133 and the water retaining disc 132 are located in the center of the sugar dispensing chamber 12 to prevent the sugar particles from escaping from the through hole 131 on the upper surface during feeding.

[0065] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The outer bottom of the burner base 11 is provided with a recessed portion 111, and the heating assembly 2 is fixed in the recessed portion 111. In addition, a plurality of blades 112 are also provided on the outer side of the burner base 11. The blades 112 are evenly distributed. When the burner body 1 rotates at a high speed, the airflow outside the burner body 1 is affected, so that the airflow is upward and the sugar threads are blown to the same place, which is convenient for the lollipop to wrap around the sugar threads and prevent the sugar threads from flying around.

[0066] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The heating component 2 is located below the burner body 1 and heats the burner body 1, so that the sugar granules in the burner body 1 are heated to form syrup, and the syrup is thrown out from the sugar outlet of the burner body 1 under the centrifugal force formed by the rotation of the burner body 1 to form sugar threads, which are then made into marshmallows. The heating component 2 is provided with an electromagnetic induction coil 21, and alternating current is passed through the electromagnetic induction coil 21 to generate an alternating magnetic field. When the alternating magnetic field passes through the burner body 1, it will generate heat, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly heating the burner body 1.

[0067] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 In this embodiment, the burner body 1 and the fixing seat 31 are made of aluminum alloy material. By utilizing the thermal conductivity of the aluminum alloy material, the burner body 1 can be quickly heated up, so that the sugar-making chamber 12 can be quickly heated up to the optimal heating temperature, so that the sugar particles are melted into syrup.

[0068] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 In this embodiment, the heating assembly 2 is also provided with a temperature sensor, which is arranged in the recessed portion 111 of the burner base 11. The temperature sensor can be used to detect the temperature inside the burner body 1 in real time, and the controller 300 can adjust the heating power of the electromagnetic induction coil 21 according to the temperature feedback from the temperature sensor, thereby achieving the purpose of controlling the temperature inside the burner body 1, thereby ensuring the quality of the marshmallows. At the same time, the heat of the burner body 1 during the humidification process is also detected in real time to ensure that the burner body 1 has enough heat to evaporate water. After the humidification is completed, the temperature sensor is used to detect in time to avoid the problem of the syrup in the sugar-making cavity 12 being burnt due to the excessive temperature of the burner body 1.

[0069] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4In this embodiment, the base 3 is provided with a humidifying assembly 4 and a motor assembly 5. The base 3 is also provided with a support plate 34 and a fixing seat 31. The humidifying assembly 4 is provided on the fixing seat 31, and the motor assembly 5 is provided on the support plate 34. The support plate 34 and the fixing seat 31 are connected by a support column 35. The support column 35 supports a receiving space between the support plate 34 and the fixing seat 31. The receiving space is provided with a collector ring 36, a carbon brush 37, and a thermocouple.

[0070] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The humidifying component 4 is connected to the sugar-producing chamber 12 and humidifies the sugar-producing chamber 12. When the detection unit detects that the humidity of the sugar-making chamber 200 is lower than the humidity required for marshmallow production, the detection unit feeds back a signal to the controller 300. After receiving the signal, the controller 300 sends a humidification instruction to the humidifying component 4. The humidifying component 4 adds water to the sugar-producing chamber 12. The high-temperature sugar-producing chamber 12 evaporates the added water into water vapor. The water vapor is thrown out from the through hole 131 or the tooth mouth into the sugar-producing chamber 200 in the high-speed rotating sugar-producing chamber 12 due to the centrifugal effect, humidifying the sugar-making chamber 200 and the marshmallow being produced, making the marshmallow denser and more saturated, and having a better taste.

[0071] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7 , a fixing seat 31 is provided on the base 3, and the fixing seat 31 fixes the heating component 2 on the lower side of the burner body 1. At the same time, the fixing seat 31 is inserted on the rotating shaft 52, and a bearing 33 is provided on the fixing seat 31, which is connected to the rotating shaft 52 through the bearing 33 to ensure that the burner body 1 can rotate smoothly and at high speed. At the same time, due to the high-speed rotation, the bearing 33 will produce friction with the rotating shaft 52. In addition, the rotating shaft 52 is close to the heating component 2 and works in a high-friction and high-temperature environment. The bearing 33 is easily damaged by heat and has a relatively short life, which affects the life of the entire burner device 400. If the bearing 33 cannot operate after being damaged, the entire burner device 400 needs to be replaced, that is, the life of the entire burner device 400 will end. Heat dissipation of the bearing 33 makes the bearing 33 not easily damaged, which can extend the life of the bearing 33 and thus extend the life of the burner device 400.

[0072] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7The humidifying component 4 is arranged in the fixed seat 31 to dissipate heat for the bearing 33, thereby extending the life of the bearing 33. The humidifying component 4 is provided with a water inlet 41, a water outlet 42 and a water circuit 43. The water circuit 43 is connected with the water inlet 41 and the water outlet 42, and the water circuit 43 is arranged in the fixed seat 31. The fixed seat 31 is provided with a perforation 32, the bearing 33 is arranged in the perforation 32, and the water circuit 43 is arranged around the perforation 32. The fixed seat 31 is water-cooled by the water circuit 43 to take away the heat of the fixed seat 31 and the bearing 33. At the same time, the water coming out of the water circuit 43 has absorbed the heat of the fixed seat 31 and the bearing 33, and the water coming out of the water outlet 42 has absorbed energy, which saves energy consumption for subsequent evaporation due to the need to absorb energy, so that the sugar-making chamber 12 can quickly return to the required high temperature.

[0073] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A water delivery pipe 44 is provided in the feed pipe 6, one end of the water delivery pipe 44 is connected to the sugar-making chamber 12, and the other end is connected to the water outlet 42. The water inlet 41 is connected to the water tank. When the controller 300 starts the humidification component 4, the water pump adds the water in the water tank from the water inlet 41 to the water circuit 43, and after absorbing the heat of the fixed seat 31 and the bearing 33, it flows out from the water outlet 42. The water outlet 42 is connected to the water delivery pipe 44, which passes through the feed pipe 6 and extends into the sugar-making chamber 12, spraying the water that has absorbed the heat into the sugar-making chamber 12. After the water enters the sugar-making chamber 12, it continues to absorb heat and turns into water vapor. The water vapor is thrown out into the sugar-making chamber 200 in the high-speed rotating sugar-making chamber 12, and the water vapor humidifies the sugar-making chamber 200, so that the sugar-making chamber 200 is in a constant humidity.

[0074] See also Figure 4 , Figure 5A water storage chamber 45 is provided at the bottom of the sugar-making chamber 12, and a water supply pipe 44 is connected to the water storage chamber 45. The water supply pipe 44 sprays water into the water storage chamber 45, and absorbs heat in the water storage chamber 45 to form water vapor. Under the action of the high-speed rotating burner body 1, the water vapor generates a centrifugal effect and is thrown out of the sugar-making chamber 12. The water in the water supply pipe 44 absorbs heat in the water storage chamber 45 and turns into water vapor or fine water droplets and then enters the sugar-making chamber 12. The water vapor will not affect the viscosity of the syrup in the sugar-making chamber 12, nor will it cause the temperature of the sugar-making chamber 12 to drop suddenly, so that the sugar particles cannot be fully melted into syrup. After absorbing heat in the water storage chamber 45, the water in the water supply pipe 44 turns into water vapor or small water droplets and then enters the sugar-making chamber 12, evenly filling the sugar-making chamber 12, and can fully absorb heat and turn into water vapor. At the same time, it will not cause the sugar-making chamber 12 to cool down locally, affect the quality of the syrup in the sugar-making chamber 12, or cause the sugar-making chamber 12 to crack locally, thus avoiding the problem of cracks in the burner body 1 caused by long-term local cooling of one side of the burner body 1. In this embodiment, the water storage chamber 45 is located at the upper end of the rotating shaft 52, and the rotating shaft 52 is arranged at the center of the water storage chamber 45. The water storage chamber 45 will rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft 52, that is, the water storage chamber 45 will also rotate at a high speed, and the water or small water droplets or water vapor in the water storage chamber 45 will undergo centrifugal motion.

[0075] See also Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 A water retaining member 46 is provided on the upper side of the water storage chamber 45, and the feed pipe 6 passes through the water retaining member 46 and extends into the sugar-making chamber 12, so that the water in the water storage chamber 45 will not easily enter the feed pipe 6, and the feed pipe 6 will not be damp and the sugar particles will not be solidified. A plurality of water outlet holes 461 are provided on the water retaining member 46, and the water outlet holes 461 are distributed around the rotating shaft 52. When the water storage chamber 45 rotates at a high speed, the water or small water droplets or water vapor that undergoes centrifugal motion are thrown out in the water outlet holes 461. The water outlet holes 461 are arranged in a circle around the rotating shaft 52, so that the water or small water droplets or water vapor are thrown out radially in the water outlet holes 461 into the sugar-making chamber 12, away from the feed pipe 6 opening.

[0076] See also Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 In some embodiments, the water outlet holes 461 are inclined from the center to the outside and are arranged radially, so that the water or small water droplets or water vapor in the water storage chamber 45 can be thrown out. The inclination direction of the water outlet holes 461 is roughly the same as the direction of the centrifugal force of the water or small water droplets or water vapor in the water storage chamber 45 during high-speed rotation, so that the water or small water droplets or water vapor can be thrown out more effectively, achieving a more efficient humidification effect.

[0077] See also Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9The inner side of the water retaining member 46 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 462, and a clamping portion 463 is connected to the edge of the groove 462, and the clamping portion 463 is clamped with the water storage chamber 45. The water in the water supply pipe 44 is sprayed into the water storage chamber 45. In this embodiment, the water in the water supply pipe 44 is sprayed onto the recessed portion 111, and the water absorbs the heat of the inner wall of the recessed portion 111 and slides down the water storage chamber 45, and then is thrown out through the water outlet 461. In this embodiment, the water storage chamber 45 is a circular groove, and an annular clamping groove 451 is provided at the bottom of the water storage chamber 45. The clamping portion 463 is provided in the clamping groove 451 to fix the water retaining member 46 and the water storage chamber 45.

[0078] See also Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 The water entering the water storage chamber 45 is the water that has absorbed the heat from the fixing seat 31 and the bearing 33, and needs to further absorb heat to evaporate into water vapor. The water that has absorbed heat absorbs less heat before evaporating into water vapor, and the heat loss is less, thereby reducing the energy loss of the heating component 2. The heating component 2 ensures the heat required for the atomization of the humidifying component 4, and enables the burner body 1 to quickly return to the optimal heating temperature after the humidifying component 4 humidifies.

[0079] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The motor assembly 5 includes a rotating shaft 52 and a motor 51 fixed on the support plate 34, and the rotating shaft 52 and the motor 51 are driven by a belt 53. One end of the rotating shaft 52 is fixed on the support plate 34, and the other end passes through the receiving space and the heating assembly 2 and is fixedly connected to the burner body 1, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 52 is controlled by the motor 51. The collector ring 36 of the receiving space is fixed on the rotating shaft 52, the carbon brush 37 is connected to the collector ring 36, and the thermocouple detects the temperature of the heating assembly 2. The temperature signal detected by the thermocouple is transmitted to the collector ring 36, and the collector ring 36 then transmits the signal to the controller 300. This signal transmission method can accurately transmit the signal, greatly simplify the structure of the system, and avoid twisting of the wire during rotation. The thermocouple monitors the temperature of the heating assembly 2 to prevent the sugar particles from being burned due to excessively high temperature, or the phenomenon of sugar blocking due to excessively low temperature, so as to ensure the smooth formation of sugar silk and the smooth progress of the marshmallow making process.

[0080] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4In some embodiments, a motor adjustment hole is provided on the support plate 34, and the motor 51 is bolted to the bottom of the support plate 34 through the motor adjustment seat. The driving shaft of the motor 51 passes through the motor adjustment hole, and the driving pulley 54 above the support plate 34 is fixedly connected. Then, the driving pulley 54 and the driven pulley 55 can adjust the axis center distance through the motor adjustment hole, that is, adjust the tightness of the transmission belt. The support plate 34 and the fixed seat 31 are both provided with a through hole 32 for the rotating shaft 52 to pass through, so that the rotating shaft 52 can pass through the through hole 32 and be fixedly connected to the furnace head body 1, thereby achieving the purpose of heating the furnace head body 1 while rotating. With this transmission mode, the rotation of the rotating shaft 52 is controlled by the motor 51. This transmission is stable and efficient, and effectively reduces the working noise of the furnace head device 400.

[0081] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 A protective shell 56 is provided on the outside of the motor assembly 5 and the outside of the receiving space to protect the components from external damage or dust.

[0082] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 In this embodiment, the feed pipe 6 is sleeved in the rotating shaft 52, one end of the feed pipe 6 extends into the sugar-making chamber 12, and the other end extends out of the support plate 34 and is fixed on the support plate 34. A pipe seat 61 is also provided on the lower side of the support plate 34, and the feed pipe 6 is fixed in the pipe seat 61. In addition, the pipe seat 61 is also provided with a pipe clamp 62 to further fix the feed pipe 6 on the pipe seat 61, so that the feed pipe 6 will not be affected under high-speed rotation, the feed pipe 6 will not shake, and will not rub against the rotating shaft 52 to generate noise or wear the rotating shaft 52. A gap 7 is provided between the rotating shaft 52 and the feed pipe 6, and a wastewater receiving tray is provided at the bottom of the gap 7, and the wastewater receiving tray is used to receive wastewater and waste flowing down from the sugar-making chamber 12. In addition, a sugar bowl is provided in the storage space, and an air pump is used to blow the sugar particles in the sugar bowl from the feed pipe 6 into the sugar-making chamber 12 from bottom to top. This sugar feeding method makes it easy for the feeding pipe 6 to evenly add sugar into the sugar-making chamber 12. At the same time, this operation method is safer and more stable, so that the structure of the burner head device 400 is more optimized. The feeding pipe 6 is directly passed through the original rotating shaft 52, without increasing the structure of the burner head device 400 or destroying the structure of the burner head device 400, so that the performance of the burner head device 400 is more stable.

[0083] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the assembly of the rotating shaft 52 is more secure and to ensure the stability of the burner body 1 during rotation, two bearings 33 are arranged at the top of the fixed seat 31, and two bearings 33 are arranged at the bottom of the fixed seat 31. The rotating shaft 52 cooperates with the inner rings of the bearings 33 to form a uniformly shaped shaft, thereby achieving the assembly purpose of the burner body 1 and the stability of the burner body 1 during rotation.

[0084] In some embodiments, a cleaning pipe is further provided in the feed pipe 6, and the cleaning pipe sprays a cleaning agent into the candy-making chamber 12 to deeply clean the candy-making chamber 12, thereby completing the cleaning of the stove head body 1, allowing customers to enjoy fresh marshmallows, and effectively reducing the risk of food safety. In addition, a water inlet pipe 8 is further provided on the lower side of the feed pipe 6, and the water inlet pipe 8 is connected to a water tank. When cleaning is required, a water pump sends water in the water tank into the candy-making chamber 12 through the feed pipe 6 to flush the candy-making chamber 12, thereby completing the cleaning of the candy-making chamber 12, keeping the candy-making chamber 12 clean, and preventing expired or spoiled and sour syrup from remaining, keeping the taste of the prepared marshmallows fresh, and ensuring the food safety of the marshmallows.

[0085] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4In the steam humidification type cotton candy machine, a bearing 33 is arranged in the middle perforation 32 of the fixed seat 31, and the bearing 33 is to enable the burner body 1 to rotate smoothly at high speed. Since the fixed seat 31 is close to the heating component 2, the heating component 2 heats the burner body, which will generate a lot of heat, and the fixed seat 31 and the bearing 33 are mostly made of metal materials with good thermal conductivity, so that the fixed seat 31 and the bearing 33 work in a high-temperature working environment for a long time. Due to the high temperature generated by the heating component 2 and the friction heat generated by long-term high-speed rotation, the temperature of the bearing 33 is higher. In a high-temperature working environment, the life of the bearing 33 is limited, and it is easy to dry up the lubricating oil prematurely, causing problems such as rusting of the ball, resulting in the occurrence of phenomena such as poor rotation of the burner body 1 and excessive torque, and then the burner device 400 needs to be replaced. In this technical solution, the humidifying component 4 is provided with a water cooling channel around the bearing 33 on the fixed seat 31 to absorb the heat of the bearing 33 and the fixed seat 31, and cool down the bearing 33 and the fixed seat 31. Every time the detection unit detects that the humidity in the sugar-making chamber 200 is too low, the control receives the signal from the detection unit, sends a command to the water pump, and the humidification function is started. Water is pumped out of the water tank by the water pump and enters the water circuit 43 in the fixed seat 31 through the water inlet 41. The water absorbs the heat of the fixed seat 31 and the bearing 33 in the water circuit 43 and flows out from the water outlet 42. The water that has absorbed the heat becomes warm water or hot water, and then enters the water storage chamber 45 from the water supply pipe 44. The water storage chamber 45 is in a high-speed operation state. The warm water or hot water sprayed by the water supply pipe 44 is evenly sprayed on the inner wall of the groove 462 of the water retaining member 46, absorbing the heat of the water retaining member 46, and further heating the warm water or hot water to become water vapor or small water droplets. Under the action of centrifugal force, water vapor or small water droplets are evenly thrown out from the water outlet 461 and thrown into the sugar-making chamber 12, where they absorb heat and turn into water vapor. The water vapor is thrown out of the sugar-making chamber 200 through the tooth mouth or through hole 131, thereby humidifying the sugar-making chamber 200, achieving a humidification effect, and allowing the cotton candy machine to work in an optimal humidity environment.

[0086] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7 In this embodiment, the water circuit 43 is arranged in the fixing seat 31, and the water circuit 43 is formed by drilling holes in the fixing seat 31 and connecting the bored channels. In other embodiments, the water circuit 43 can be integrally formed with the fixing seat 31 to form water circuits 43 of various shapes.

[0087] This steam humidification type cotton candy machine has the following beneficial effects:

[0088] 1. The water after the humidifying component 4 absorbs the heat of the fixing seat 31 and the bearing 33 is sprayed into the sugar-making chamber 12 to evaporate into water vapor. This steam utilization method requires less heat to be absorbed and less energy consumption provided by the heating component 2, so that the sugar-making chamber 12 can quickly restore the optimal heating temperature without affecting the production of marshmallows.

[0089] 2. At the same time, the water that has absorbed heat is evenly sprinkled into the sugar-making chamber 12 under the action of centrifugal force, which can fully absorb heat and be converted into water vapor with high efficiency, thereby making the water utilization rate high, consuming less water, and almost no excess waste water.

[0090] 3. In addition, the humidifying component 4 absorbs the heat of the fixing seat 31 and the bearing 33, so that the fixing seat 31 and the bearing 33 are not easily damaged due to the high temperature working environment, thereby extending the life of the bearing 33 and further extending the life of the burner device 400.

[0091] 4. In addition, the humidified water directly enters the sugar-making chamber 12, and the water vapor sprayed out of the sugar-making chamber 200 to humidify the working environment is water vapor. The amount of water vapor is generated under the monitoring of the detection unit, and excessive humidity will not occur, and condensation will not be generated in winter.

[0092] 5. While cooling the fixing seat 31 and the bearing 33, the humidifying component 4 transfers the heat to the water in the humidifying component 4, and preheats the water in advance. When evaporating and humidifying in the sugar-making chamber 12, the burner body 1 will not lose too much heat, so that the temperature of the burner device 400 is stable during the sugar-making operation, the sugar-making is more stable, and the marshmallow forming rate is high.
