Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food production technology, and specifically to a processing method for an integrated processing device for freeze-dried melt-in-your-mouth bean products. Background Technology

[0002] Freeze-dried shaped foods for children, also known as freeze-dried melt-in-your-mouth foods, are a popular snack in recent years. The main ingredients are fruit pulp and yogurt, with a moisture content of about 80%. Due to their small size (ranging from 0.5 to 5 ml) and diverse shapes, they need to be poured into multi-cavity plastic or silicone molds, frozen and shaped, and then freeze-dried after demolding.

[0003] The existing production process has the following problems: First, the pouring, freezing, and demolding processes of freeze-dried melt-in-your-mouth snacks are completed in different locations, which is complex and labor-intensive; second, plastic and silicone products are prone to minor damage during repeated freezing and thawing, and there is a risk of foreign matter being mixed into the food that is shaped in the cavity; third, for composite melt-in-your-mouth snack products with two kinds of slurry, such as the mushroom-shaped freeze-dried product in this application, the complex secondary freezing process in the patent with patent number CN202311131210.X is required.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art urgently need to provide a processing method for an integrated processing device for freeze-dried melt-in-the-mouth food products, which can automatically complete processes such as pouring, quick freezing, and demolding, thereby realizing automated production of freeze-dried melt-in-the-mouth food products, reducing production time, and improving production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a processing method for an integrated processing device for freeze-dried melt-in-the-mouth snacks, which automatically completes processes such as pouring, quick-freezing, and demolding, thereby realizing automated production of freeze-dried melt-in-the-mouth snacks, reducing production time, and improving production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a processing method for an integrated processing device for freeze-dried melt-in-the-mouth bean products. The integrated processing device for freeze-dried melt-in-the-mouth bean products includes a top plate, guide columns, a bottom plate, a pouring head fixing plate, an upper template, a lower template, a top rod fixing plate, a pouring head fixing plate drive cylinder, an upper template drive cylinder, and a top rod fixing plate drive cylinder; the processing method includes the following steps:

[0007] Step S1: Adjust the positions of the pouring head fixing plate, upper template, lower template, and top rod fixing plate to their initial positions; wherein, the upper template and lower template are closed, the pouring head fixing plate is away from the upper template, and the top rod fixing plate is away from the lower template;

[0008] The system includes multiple guide columns, each with its upper end fixedly connected to the top plate and its lower end fixedly connected to the bottom plate. The guide columns pass sequentially from top to bottom through the pouring head fixing plate, the upper template, the lower template, and the top rod fixing plate. The pouring head fixing plate is mounted on the lower surface of the top plate via a pouring head fixing plate drive cylinder, and moves up and down along the guide columns under the action of the cylinder. The pouring head fixing plate has several pouring heads, each connected to a feed pipe. The upper template is mounted on the upper surface of the bottom plate via an upper template drive cylinder, and moves up and down along the guide columns under the action of the cylinder. The upper template has several pre-defined material cavities. The system includes an upper refrigerant channel with an upper template refrigerant inlet on one side and an upper template refrigerant outlet on the other side. The lower template is fixed to a guide column via a positioning and locking device. The lower template has several pre-defined material cavities and a lower refrigerant channel within it, with a lower template refrigerant inlet on one side and a lower template refrigerant outlet on the other side. A top rod fixing plate is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate via a top rod fixing plate drive cylinder, and moves up and down along the guide column under the action of the top rod fixing plate drive cylinder. Several top rods are fixed to the upper surface of the top rod fixing plate, with the upper part of each top rod inserted into the material cavity of the lower template.

[0009] Step S2: Start the refrigerant circulation system and supply refrigerant through the upper refrigerant channel in the upper template and the lower refrigerant channel in the lower template to reduce the temperature of the upper and lower templates to -35 to -15°.

[0010] Step S3: Activate the driving cylinder of the pouring head fixing plate to move the pouring head fixing plate down to a horizontal position close to the bottom of the upper template at the bottom of the pouring head; then pour slurry A, with the pouring volume being consistent with the volume of the lower material cavity;

[0011] Step S4: Activate the driving cylinder of the pouring head fixing plate to drive the pouring head fixing plate to move up to a horizontal position close to the top of the upper template at the bottom of the pouring head; then pour the B slurry, with the pouring volume being consistent with the volume of the upper material cavity;

[0012] Step S5: Return the drive pouring head fixing plate to the initial position and hold for 1-2 minutes to allow slurry A and slurry B to freeze and solidify.

[0013] Step S6: Activate the push rod fixing plate drive cylinder and the upper template drive cylinder to drive the push rod fixing plate and the upper template to move upward synchronously; when the push rod fixing plate moves up and contacts the lower template, stop running and push out the material in the lower material cavity; the upper template continues to move upward, and the material in the upper material cavity remains in the upper template;

[0014] Step S7: The upper template continues to move upward until it touches the pouring head fixing plate and stops moving. The material in the upper material cavity is pushed out of the upper template by the pouring head. At this time, since the push rod occupies the lower material cavity, the frozen material falls onto the upper surface of the lower template.

[0015] Step S8: The demolded material ejector pusher ejects the frozen material from step S7 to obtain freeze-dried melt-in-your-mouth food.

[0016] Preferably, the method further includes step S9, in which the upper template and the top rod fixing plate are moved down to their initial positions.

[0017] Preferably, the pouring head includes a single-material pouring head, a dual-material pouring head, or a multi-material pouring head.

[0018] Preferably, the feed pipe is connected to a quantitative conveying mechanism to control the amount of material poured into the feed pipe.

[0019] Preferably, there are two push rod fixing plate drive cylinders, which are fixed on the base plate and symmetrically arranged to drive the push rod fixing plate to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0020] Preferably, there are four guide columns, which are distributed at the four corners of the top plate and the bottom plate respectively. The pouring head fixing plate, the upper template, the lower template and the top rod fixing plate are fitted on the guide columns through guide sleeve gaps.

[0021] Preferably, a demolded material ejection rod is provided on the side between the upper and lower templates. The demolded material ejection rod is placed horizontally and moves horizontally under the action of external force to eject the demolded material.

[0022] Preferably, there are two upper template drive cylinders, which are fixed on the base plate and symmetrically arranged to drive the upper template to perform lifting and lowering movements.

[0023] Preferably, the upper material cavity is shaped like a mushroom column, and the lower material cavity is shaped like a mushroom head.

[0024] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0025] 1. The integrated processing device for freeze-dried melt-in-the-dry bean products of the present invention is provided with a pouring head fixing plate, an upper template, a lower template, and a top rod fixing plate; the pouring head fixing plate is driven by a pouring head fixing plate drive cylinder to move the pouring head fixing plate up and down, the upper template is driven by an upper template drive cylinder to move the upper template up and down, and the top rod fixing plate is driven by a top rod fixing plate drive cylinder to move the top rod fixing plate up and down, and the interaction and cooperation enable the poured and shaped material to be automatically demolded.

[0026] 2. The processing method of the integrated processing device for freeze-dried melt-in-your-mouth snacks in this invention involves first freezing the upper and lower molds, then pouring slurry A first, followed by slurry B, to freeze and solidify the product. Then, the material in the lower material cavity is ejected by the upward movement of the top rod fixing plate. The upper mold continues to move upward, and the material in the upper material cavity is ejected from the upper mold by the pouring head. Finally, the frozen material is ejected by the demolded material ejection rod. This achieves automated production of freeze-dried melt-in-your-mouth snacks, reducing production time and increasing production efficiency compared to existing manual production, enabling large-scale production and sales.

[0049] like Figure 3As shown, the pouring head fixing plate 40 is mounted on the lower surface of the top plate 10 via a pouring head fixing plate drive cylinder 41. Under the action of the pouring head fixing plate drive cylinder 41, it moves up and down along the guide column 20. The pouring head fixing plate 40 is provided with a plurality of pouring heads 42, which are connected to the feed pipe. The feed pipe is connected to the quantitative conveying mechanism to control the pouring volume in the feed pipe. Among them, the pouring head 42 includes a single-material pouring head, a dual-material pouring head, or a multi-material pouring head; the pouring head can be selected according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the pouring head 42 is a dual-material pouring head.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the upper template 50 is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 30 via an upper template drive cylinder 51. Under the action of the upper template drive cylinder 51, it moves up and down along the guide column 20. The upper template 50 is provided with several pre-defined material-growing cavities 52. The upper template 50 is provided with an upper refrigerant channel. One side of the upper refrigerant channel is provided with an upper template refrigerant inlet 53, and the other side is provided with an upper template refrigerant outlet 54.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the top rod fixing plate 70 is mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 30 via a top rod fixing plate drive cylinder 71. Under the action of the top rod fixing plate drive cylinder 71, it moves up and down along the guide column 20. Several top rods 72 are fixedly provided on the upper surface of the top rod fixing plate 70, and the upper part of the top rods 72 is inserted into the lower material cavity 61 of the lower template 60. In this embodiment, there are two top rod fixing plate drive cylinders 71, which are fixed on the base plate 30 and symmetrically arranged to drive the top rod fixing plate 70 to move up and down.

[0054] A demolded material ejection rod is provided on the side between the upper template 50 and the lower template 60. The demolded material ejection rod is placed horizontally and moves horizontally under the action of external force to eject the demolded material.

[0055] The integrated processing device for freeze-dried melt-in-the-dry bean products of the present invention is provided with a pouring head fixing plate 40, an upper template 50, a lower template 60, and a top rod fixing plate 70. The pouring head fixing plate 40 is driven to move up and down by the pouring head fixing plate driving cylinder 41, the upper template 50 is driven to move up and down by the upper template driving cylinder 51, and the top rod fixing plate 70 is driven to move up and down by the top rod fixing plate driving cylinder 71. These actions work together to automatically demold the poured and molded material.

[0056] like Figure 7-13 As shown, the present invention also provides a processing method for an integrated processing apparatus for freeze-dried melt-in-the-mouth bean food products, comprising the following steps:

[0057] Step S1: Adjust the positions of the pouring head fixing plate 40, upper template 50, lower template 60 and top rod fixing plate 70 to their initial positions; wherein, the upper template 50 and lower template 60 are closed, the pouring head fixing plate 40 is away from the upper template 50, and the top rod fixing plate 70 is away from the lower template 60.

[0058] Step S2: Start the refrigerant circulation system and supply refrigerant through the upper refrigerant channel in the upper template 50 and the lower refrigerant channel in the lower template to reduce the temperature of the upper template 50 and the lower template 60 to -35 to -15°.

[0059] Step S3: Activate the driving cylinder 41 of the pouring head fixing plate to move the pouring head fixing plate 40 down to a horizontal position close to the bottom of the upper template 50 at the bottom of the pouring head; then pour the A slurry, with the pouring volume being consistent with the volume of the lower material cavity 61.

[0060] Step S4: Activate the pouring head fixing plate drive cylinder 41 to drive the pouring head fixing plate 40 to move upward to a horizontal position near the top of the upper template 50 at the bottom of the pouring head; then pour the B slurry, with the pouring volume matching the volume of the upper material cavity 52.

[0061] Step S5: Return the drive pouring head fixing plate 40 to its initial position and hold for 1-2 minutes to allow slurry A and slurry B to freeze and solidify.

[0062] Step S6: Activate the push rod fixing plate drive cylinder 71 and the upper template drive cylinder 51 to drive the push rod fixing plate 70 and the upper template 50 to move upward synchronously; when the push rod fixing plate 70 moves upward and contacts the lower template 60, stop running and push out the material in the lower material cavity 61; the upper template 50 continues to move upward, and the material in the upper material cavity 52 is retained in the upper template.

[0063] Step S7: The upper template 50 continues to move upward until it touches the pouring head fixing plate 40 and stops moving. The material in the upper material cavity 52 is pushed out of the upper template 50 by the pouring head 42. At this time, since the push rod 72 occupies the lower material cavity 61, the frozen material falls onto the upper surface of the lower template 60.

[0064] Step S8: The demolded material ejector pusher ejects the frozen material from step S7 to obtain freeze-dried melt-in-your-mouth food.

[0065] Step S9: The upper template 50 and the top rod fixing plate 70 are moved down to their initial positions.

[0066] The processing method of the integrated processing device for freeze-dried melt-in-your-mouth snacks in this invention involves first freezing the upper and lower molds, then pouring slurry A, followed by slurry B, to freeze and solidify the product. Then, the material in the lower material cavity is ejected by the upward movement of the top rod fixing plate. The upper mold continues to move upward, and the material in the upper material cavity is ejected from the upper mold by the pouring head. Finally, the frozen material is ejected by the demolded material ejection rod. This achieves automated production of freeze-dried melt-in-your-mouth snacks, reducing production time and increasing production efficiency compared to existing manual production, enabling large-scale production and sales.
