Description

Technical Field

[0002] Lutein and Neuronic Acid Gummies are health-care gummy candies containing lutein. Lutein is a carotenoid that is mainly found in green vegetables and is beneficial to eye health. It helps protect the retina and prevent vision loss. Neuronic Acid Gummies refer to functional gummies that are designed to support the health of the nervous system by adding nutrients such as lutein.

[0003] In the prior art, a starch mold is generally used in the process of producing soft candies. After the molten soft candies are cooled and formed in the starch mold, the formed soft candies are vibrated through a vibrating screen to remove excess starch on the surface of the soft candies. However, during the vibration of the vibrating screen, the friction between the vibrating screen and other components, as well as the friction between the surfaces of the soft candies, will cause the temperature of the vibrating screen to rise, thereby causing the soft candies on the vibrating screen to deform due to heat. Therefore, when using the vibrating screen to screen the starch on the soft candies, the soft candies or the screen need to be cooled to ensure that the soft candies have a certain hardness and shape.

[0004] At present, an exhaust assembly or a negative pressure machine is usually set next to the vibrating screen to speed up the air flow rate on the vibrating screen and the surface of the soft candy, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the soft candy and the vibrating screen, while also minimizing the situation where starch is dispersed in the air due to vibration.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The following combination Figure 1-6 This application is described in further detail. Example 1

[0020] A lutein neuraminic acid soft candy comprises the following components in parts by weight: 65kg maltitol syrup, 0.5kg water-soluble lutein ester powder, 0.5kg bilberry extract, 5kg concentrated orange juice, 0.7kg malic acid and 0.8kg citric acid, 6kg gelatin, 0.5kg orange flavor, 8kg water.

[0021] The soft candy of the present invention is prepared by low-calorie raw materials and will not cause tooth decay problems after consumption. Therefore, it is suitable for the elderly, diabetic patients and children to take it casually and conveniently in daily life to supplement lutein. In addition, since lutein esters and lutein are not easy to preserve in a strong acid environment and have poor stability, the acidity of the soft candy prepared in this embodiment is weak acidity, and the lutein ester therein can be preserved for a long time. Example 2

[0022] A lutein neuraminic acid soft candy processing equipment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including a mixing and stirring mechanism 1, an injection molding mechanism 2, a starch mold 3, a demoulding mechanism 4 and a packaging mechanism 5.

[0023] The main body of the mixing and stirring mechanism 1 is mainly a mixing barrel, a feed end is arranged on its upper end face, a discharge port is arranged on the side wall, and a stirring component and a heating component are arranged inside the mixing barrel. The mixing and stirring mechanism 1 is mainly used to mix and stir various materials to obtain a liquid mixture. It is a prior art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0024] The lower end surface of the injection molding mechanism 2 is provided with multiple pouring heads, and a conveyor belt assembly 21 is provided below the pouring heads. A plurality of starch molds 3 are provided on the conveyor belt assembly 21 along the length direction of the conveyor belt, and the plurality of starch molds 3 pass directly below the pouring heads in sequence. In this embodiment, a loading mechanism (not shown in the figure) is provided at one end of the conveyor belt assembly 21, and a unloading mechanism (not shown in the figure) is provided at the other end. The loading mechanism is used to load the starch mold 3 onto the conveyor belt assembly 21, and the unloading mechanism is used to remove the poured starch mold 3 from the conveyor belt. A transport pipe 11 is provided between the injection molding mechanism 2 and the discharge port on the mixing barrel, and the transport pipe 11 transports the liquid mixture in the mixing barrel to the injection molding mechanism 2.

[0025] The demoulding mechanism 4 includes a base 41 .

[0026] A blanking barrel 411 is fixedly disposed on one side of the base 41 , and a vibrating screen 42 is disposed on the base 41 . The vibrating screen 42 is located below the blanking barrel 411 .

[0027] The demolding mechanism 4 also includes a cooling component 43, which includes an exhaust duct 431. The exhaust duct 431 is hooked as a whole and fixedly installed on the base 41. The air inlet end of the exhaust duct 431 is directly opposite to the top of the vibrating screen 42 and is in a cone shape. The air inlet end of the exhaust duct 431 is in contact with the base 41, and the entire vibrating screen 42 is covered by the air inlet end of the exhaust duct 431. Therefore, when the vibrating screen 42 vibrates the soft candy, the starch on the surface of the soft candy will not fly around, and the starch will be taken away by the exhaust duct 431, thereby improving the comfort of the working environment of the staff.

[0028] A driving member 44 for driving the air flow in the exhaust duct 431 is provided on the exhaust duct 431, and a linkage member 45 is provided between the driving member 44 and the vibrating screen 42. When the driving member 44 drives the air flow in the exhaust duct 431, the driving member 44 can also drive the vibrating screen 42 to vibrate through the linkage member 45, thereby shaking off the starch on the surface of the soft candy. At the same time, the exhaust duct 431 absorbs the starch on the surface of the soft candy, further enhancing the cleaning effect of the starch on the surface of the soft candy; and when the driving member 44 stops driving the air flow in the exhaust duct 431, the vibrating screen 42 will also stop vibrating. On the whole, the driving member 44 in this embodiment can simultaneously drive the air flow in the exhaust duct 431 and drive the vibrating screen 42 to vibrate, thereby reducing the setting of the driving source in the equipment as a whole, thereby reducing the volume of the equipment and reducing energy consumption, and reducing the operating cost and use cost of the equipment as a whole.

[0029] In addition, since the soft candy is in a relatively high temperature state during the molding process, starch is very easy to adhere to the soft candy during the molding process. Therefore, when the exhaust duct 431 is evacuating air, on the one hand, it can reduce the temperature of the soft candy, so that the soft candy has a certain hardness, so that the exhaust duct 431 and the vibrating screen 42 can relatively easily remove the starch on the surface of the soft candy; on the other hand, since the vibrating screen 42 will also generate friction with the base 41 during the vibration process, thereby causing the temperature of the vibrating screen 42 to increase, and the exhaust duct 431 can also cool the vibrating screen 42, thereby minimizing the heat in the vibrating screen 42 from being transferred to the soft candy, causing the soft candy to heat up and adhere to starch again, thereby further improving the overall cleaning effect of the starch on the surface of the soft candy.

[0030] Among them, refer to Figure 2 The driving member 44 includes a negative pressure pipe 441, an air extraction impeller 442 and a rotating motor 443 (combined with Figure 5 ).

[0031] One end of the exhaust duct 431 away from the base 41 is fixedly connected to and communicated with the negative pressure tube 441. The axis of the negative pressure tube 441 in this embodiment is perpendicular to the axis of the exhaust duct 431. A cross is coaxially fixedly connected to the inner wall of the negative pressure tube 441. The exhaust impeller 442 is coaxially rotatably installed on the cross. The rotating motor 443 is fixedly installed on the cross, and the output shaft of the rotating motor 443 passes through the cross and is coaxially fixedly connected to the exhaust impeller 442.

[0032] When it is necessary to drive the air flow in the exhaust duct 431, the rotating motor 443 is started, the exhaust impeller 442 rotates, and the exhaust impeller 442 drives the gas in the negative pressure pipe 441 to flow quickly. Since the faster the flow rate of the gas, the smaller its pressure, the high-pressure gas in the exhaust duct 431 will enter the negative pressure pipe 441, thereby driving the gas in the exhaust duct 431 to flow in a direction close to the negative pressure pipe 441.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The linkage member 45 includes a rotating crank 451, a sliding rod 452 and a connecting rod 453.

[0034] One end of the suction impeller 442 is coaxially fixedly connected to a connecting shaft, one end of the connecting shaft extends to the outside of the negative pressure tube 441, one end of the negative pressure tube 441 is fixedly connected to a cross mounting frame, the connecting shaft is rotatably mounted on the cross mounting frame, the connecting shaft passes through the cross mounting frame and is fixedly connected to the rotating crank 451, and a sliding groove 412 (combined with the sliding groove 412) for sliding insertion of the sliding rod 452 is provided on one side of the base 41 Figure 4 ), one end of the sliding rod 452 is fixedly connected to the side of the vibration screen 42, the connecting rod 453 is located between the rotating crank 451 and the sliding rod 452, one end of the connecting rod 453 is rotationally connected to the end of the rotating crank 451 away from the connecting shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod 453 is rotationally connected to the end of the sliding rod 452 away from the vibration screen 42.

[0035] When the rotating motor 443 rotates, the rotating motor 443 drives the rotating crank 451 to rotate through the connecting shaft, and the rotating crank 451 drives the sliding rod 452 to reciprocate in the sliding groove 412 through the connecting rod 453, thereby driving the vibrating screen 42 to vibrate back and forth.

[0036] It should be noted that the vibrating screen 42 in this embodiment is arranged to be tilted downward at one end away from the blanking barrel 411, so that the vibrating screen 42 can transport the soft candies into the packaging mechanism 5 during the vibration process. At the same time, the tilt angle of the vibrating screen 42 is relatively small to avoid the situation where the starch on the surface of the soft candies has not been completely cleaned and then slides into the packaging mechanism 5.

[0037] Secondly, refer to Figure 4 The vibrating screen 42 in this embodiment includes a frame 422 and a screen 421 .

[0038] A placement groove 413 for placing the frame 422 is provided on the base 41, the slide groove 412 is connected to the placement groove 413, and the sliding rod 452 is fixedly connected to the frame 422. The width of the placement groove 413 in this embodiment is longer than the width of the frame 422. Therefore, the frame 422 can vibrate back and forth in the placement groove 413, and the upper and lower end surfaces of the frame 422 are slidably abutted against the groove wall of the placement groove 413, thereby limiting the up and down movement of the vibrating screen 42 to ensure the stability of the vibrating screen 42 during vibration as much as possible.

[0039] The screen 421 and the frame 422 are on the same horizontal plane, and the screen 421 is located in the middle of the frame 422. A rubber ring 423 is arranged between the frame 422 and the screen 421. The rubber ring 423 has poor thermal conductivity. Therefore, the rubber ring 423 can isolate the heat generated by friction on the frame 422, thereby reducing the temperature of the screen 421 to a certain extent, and further improving the cleaning effect of the screen 421 and the exhaust duct 431 on the starch on the surface of the soft candy.

[0040] Of course, in other optional embodiments, a pulley can be set between the groove wall of the frame 422 and the placement groove 413, and the sliding friction between the frame 422 and the groove wall of the placement groove 413 is converted into rolling friction through the pulley, thereby reducing the sliding friction between the frame 422 and the groove wall of the placement groove 413, and further reducing the heat generated by friction between the frame 422 and the groove wall of the placement groove 413.

[0041] In addition, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a shaking member 46 is provided on the screen 421 to drive the screen 421 to shake in a direction perpendicular to the screen 421, and the shaking member 46 includes a contact plate 461 and a shaking rod 462.

[0042] The abutment plate 461 is located at the center position below the screen 421 and is parallel to the screen 421. In this embodiment, four shaking rods 462 are provided. The four shaking rods 462 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the screen 421, and the four shaking rods 462 are respectively located at the four corners of the abutment plate 461. One end of the shaking rod 462 is fixedly connected to the ground plate, and the other end of the shaking rod 462 is fixedly connected to the screen 421. An abutment rod 463 is fixedly provided on the abutment plate 461. The abutment rod 463 in this embodiment is arranged in an L shape.

[0043] A first gear 464 is coaxially fixedly sleeved on the connecting shaft, a second gear 465 is rotatably connected to the base 41, the second gear 465 is located below the first gear 464, and the first gear 464 and the second gear 465 are meshed, a driving wheel 466 is coaxially fixedly connected to the second gear 465, a driven wheel 467 is rotatably connected to the base 41, and the driven wheel 467 is located above the abutment plate 461, a transmission belt 468 is provided between the driving wheel 466 and the driven wheel 467, a pressure rod 469 is fixedly connected to the driven wheel 467, the pressure rod 469 is slidably abutted against the abutment rod 463, and point contact is made between the pressure rod 469 and the abutment rod 463.

[0044] When the motor 443 (combined Figure 5 ) drives the connecting shaft to rotate, the first gear 464, the second gear 465, the driving wheel 466, the transmission belt 468 and the driven wheel 467 can rotate the pressure rod 469. When the pressure rod 469 rotates away from the end of the driven wheel 467 to abut against the abutment rod 463, as the pressure rod 469 continues to rotate, the pressure rod 469 will apply downward pressure to the abutment rod 463, thereby driving the screen 421 to move downward through the abutment plate 461 and the shaking rod 462. At this time, the rubber ring 423 is in a stretched state. State, as the pressure rod 469 continues to rotate, the pressure rod 469 will be separated from the abutment rod 463, and the pressure rod 469 is not subjected to pressure. At this time, the rubber ring 423 returns to its original state, thereby driving the screen 421, the abutment plate 461 and the shaking rod 462 to move back. Since the pressure rod 469 and the abutment rod 463 are in point contact, at the moment when the pressure rod 469 is separated from the abutment rod 463, the rubber ring 423 will also rebound instantly, so that the soft candy on the screen 421 is instantly bounced into the air.

[0045] On the one hand, the soft candies that are bounced into the air are also subjected to an instantaneous elastic force, which can further clean the starch on the surface of the soft candies; on the other hand, when the soft candies are bounced into the air, their contact area with the air in the space is larger. Therefore, under the action of the exhaust duct 431, the temperature of the soft candies will drop relatively faster, thereby making it easier to clean the starch on the surface of the soft candies. At the same time, the soft candies in the air are not easy to accumulate together. Therefore, the starch on the surface of the soft candies is also more easily sucked away by the exhaust duct 431, further improving the cleaning effect of the device on the starch on the surface of the soft candies.

[0046] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to further reduce the energy consumption of the device, an adjusting member 47 for adjusting the diameter of the connection point between the negative pressure pipe 441 and the exhaust duct 431 is provided on the negative pressure pipe 441. The adjusting member 47 in this embodiment includes an adjusting block 471.

[0047] The overall outer shape of the adjusting block 471 in this embodiment is a rectangular parallelepiped, one end of which is provided with a semicircular slot penetrating the adjusting block 471, the diameter of the slot is smaller than the diameter of the negative pressure tube 441, and the peripheral wall of the negative pressure tube 441 is provided with a through slot 4411 for sliding insertion of the adjusting block 471, the adjusting block 471 is located below the negative pressure tube 441, and the adjusting block 471 moves in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the negative pressure tube 441, and the other end of the second gear 465 is coaxially connected to a cam 474 through an axis, and the cam 474 slides in contact with the lower end face of the adjusting block 471.

[0048] Driven by the first gear 464 and the second gear 465, the cam 474 rotates around the axis of the second gear 465. Therefore, the adjusting block 471 will reciprocate in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the negative pressure tube 441 under the action of the cam 474. In this embodiment, the transmission ratio between the gears, the transmission ratio between the driving wheel 466 and the driven wheel 467, the size of the pressure rod 469 and the size of the cam 474 are all specially designed. When the pressure rod 469 starts to squeeze the abutment rod 463, the cam 474 also starts to drive the adjusting block 471 to move upward, and the wind speed of the exhaust duct 431 starts to increase. When the pressure rod 469 and the abutment rod 463 When it is at the critical point of separation, that is, the abutment rod 463 is at the lowest position, the adjustment block 471 just moves to the maximum distance along the axis close to the negative pressure tube 441, that is, the adjustment block 471 is at the highest position. At this time, most of the adjustment block 471 is located inside the negative pressure tube 441. Therefore, at this time, the diameter of the negative pressure tube 441 is the smallest. Since the smaller the diameter of the tube, the faster the gas flow rate, and the smaller the pressure in the negative pressure tube 441, the gas flow rate in the exhaust duct 431 is faster, so that the wind speed in the exhaust duct 431 is the fastest at this time, so that the exhaust duct 431 has a better cooling effect on the soft candy and a better effect on cleaning the starch on the surface of the soft candy. It should be noted that when the pressure rod 469 in this embodiment is separated from the abutment rod 463, the rubber ring 423 rebounds to drive the screen 421 to shake, thereby bouncing the soft candy into the air. When the soft candy falls back onto the screen 421, the adjustment block 471 also begins to move back in the direction away from the axis of the negative pressure tube 441. When the adjustment block 471 moves back to the initial position, the diameter of the negative pressure tube 441 is at its maximum value, and the load on the cam 474, the second gear 465, the first gear 464, the connecting shaft and the output shaft of the rotating motor 443 is at its maximum.

[0049] To sum up, when the soft candies on the screen 421 are bounced into the air, the cooling effect of the exhaust duct 431 on the soft candies and the cleaning effect of the starch on the soft candies' surface are both at the maximum, and the suction force of the exhaust duct 431 on the soft candies is at the maximum, and the load of the rotating motor 443 is also at the maximum. When the soft candies fall back onto the screen 421, the diameter of the duct is at the maximum, and the load of the rotating motor 443 is at the minimum. As a whole, the high energy consumption of the rotating motor 443 is when the cooling effect of the exhaust duct 431 on the soft candies and the cleaning effect of the starch on the soft candies' surface are at the maximum, and the lowest energy consumption is when the cooling effect of the exhaust duct 431 on the soft candies and the cleaning effect of the starch on the soft candies' surface are both at the minimum, thereby achieving a reasonable distribution of energy as a whole and further reducing energy waste.

[0050] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the end of the cam 474 that contacts the adjustment block 471 is semicircular, so the adjustment block 471 can be maintained at the position closest to the axis of the negative pressure tube 441 for a certain period of time. During this period of time, the cooling effect and starch cleaning effect of the exhaust duct 431 on the soft candy are at the maximum limit, and during this period of time, the pressure rod 469 and the ground rod are in a state of just being separated, that is, the screen 421 has just entered the process of returning, and it is also the time point when the soft candy just starts to bounce; when the adjustment block 471 starts to return, it is also the time point when the soft candy falls onto the screen 421, thereby maximizing the overall utilization of the energy of the rotating motor 443.

[0051] In addition, in the present embodiment, two guide plates 4412 are provided on the groove wall where the groove 413 is placed. The two guide plates 4412 are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the negative pressure tube 441, and the two guide plates 4412 are arranged opposite to each other. The end surface of the adjustment plate away from the cam 474 is correspondingly provided with two guide grooves 472. The two guide grooves 472 correspond one-to-one to the two guide plates 4412, and the guide plates 4412 slide in contact with the groove wall of the guide groove 472.

[0052] The setting of the guide plate 4412, on the one hand, improves the stability of the adjustment block 471 during the movement process. On the other hand, the setting of the guide plate 4412 can block the gap between the adjustment block 471 and the placement groove 413, thereby improving the sealing of the negative pressure tube 441 to a certain extent, and further ensuring the stability of the air flow inside the negative pressure tube 441.

[0053] Finally, refer to Figure 1A collecting pipe 6 is connected to the side wall of the exhaust duct 431, and the collecting pipe 6 is arranged in the vertical direction. A breathable film 61 is arranged in the exhaust duct 431, and the breathable film 61 is located at the connection between the collecting pipe 6 and the exhaust duct 431. A vibrating wire 62 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 453, and the other end of the vibrating wire 62 passes through the peripheral wall of the exhaust duct and is fixedly connected to the breathable film 61.

[0054] In this embodiment, one end of the collecting tube 6 away from the exhaust pipe 431 is connected to the collecting device (not shown in the figure). After the exhaust pipe 431 sucks the starch on the surface of the soft candy into the pipe, the air-permeable film 61 is only for air to pass through, and the starch cannot pass through when it encounters the air-permeable film 61. Therefore, the starch falls into the collecting tube 6 under the action of gravity. The setting of the vibrating wire 62 can make the air-permeable film 61 also in a state of relative vibration, thereby minimizing the situation where the starch blocks the air-permeable film 61; at the same time, the vibrating wire 62 can also shake the starch adhering to the air-permeable film 61 into the collecting tube 6. Example 3

[0055] A method for processing lutein neuraminic acid soft candy comprises the following steps: S1: various raw materials are added to the mixing and stirring mechanism 1 in order according to proportions, and stirred and mixed to obtain a mixed glue liquid, and then the mixed glue liquid is transported to the injection molding mechanism 2 through the transport pipeline 11; S2: The mixed glue liquid is injected into the starch mold 3 by the injection molding mechanism 2, and then the starch mold 3 is transported to the air-drying room for air-drying. After air-drying, the glue-filled sugar in the starch mold 3 is cooled into a solid substance; S3: demolding the dried soft candy, and the vibrating screen 42 and the exhaust duct 431 in the demolding mechanism 4 clean the starch on the surface of the molded soft candy, and at the same time, the soft candy on the screen 421 is bounced up by the shaking member 46, and the exhaust duct 431 further cools the soft candy and cleans the starch; S4: polishing or sand mixing the soft candies after vibration screening to obtain the final product; S5: The final product is packaged by the packaging mechanism 5.

[0056] The soft candy prepared by the above process has a lower starch content and a better molding effect, so the soft candy prepared by this process has a better taste.
