[0033] The following describes an automatic production line and working method of polycrystalline rock sugar according to an embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The present invention aims to provide an embodiment of an automatic production line and working method of polycrystalline rock sugar.

[0035] An automatic production line for polycrystalline rock sugar according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a conveying mechanism, wherein the conveying mechanism comprises a crystallization basin 100 and a transmission chain 110, wherein the interior of the crystallization basin 100 is used to contain sugar solution, and the transmission chain 110 is arranged in a horizontal direction, and the transmission chain 110 is used to circulate and convey the crystallization basin 100, and the transmission chain 110 has a first conveying direction, a second conveying direction, a third conveying direction and a fourth conveying direction which are arranged in sequence.

[0036] It can be understood that by setting up a crystallization basin 100 and a transmission chain 110, a plurality of crystallization basins 100 can be provided, and the transmission chain 110 can circulate and transport a plurality of crystallization basins 100, and transport the crystallization basin 100 to the workstations of the basin pouring step, the crystallization step, the honey discharge step, the sugar removal step and the cleaning step, and connect the devices used in each step, which can replace manual handling and transfer of the crystallization basin 100, thereby improving the degree of automation of the equipment and improving production efficiency.

[0037] An automatic production line for polycrystalline rock sugar according to an embodiment of the present invention also includes a flipping mechanism, which includes a flipping frame 120 and a first guide rail 160. The flipping frame 120 can be rotatably arranged on a transmission chain, the flipping frame 120 is connected to a crystallization basin 100, and the first guide rail 160 is arranged on the outside of the transmission chain 110. When the crystallization basin 100 is in the first conveying direction, the flipping frame 120 is horizontally arranged. When the crystallization basin 100 is in the second conveying direction, the third conveying direction, and the fourth conveying direction, the flipping frame 120 can move along the first guide rail 160 to drive the crystallization basin 100 to be tilted.

[0038] It can be understood that, when the crystallization basin 100 is in the first conveying direction, the flipping rack 120 and the first guide rail 160 can make the crystallization basin 100 be placed horizontally, and the filling step can be performed. Then, the flipping rack 120 moves along the first guide rail 160. When the crystallization basin 100 is in the second conveying direction and the third conveying direction, the crystallization basin 100 is in an inclined state, and the mouth of the crystallization basin 100 gradually faces downward, so that the excess sugar liquid in the crystallization basin 100 can be discharged, and then the polycrystalline rock sugar in the crystallization basin 100 can be fallen off. There is no need to use the traditional method to invert the stacked crystallization basins 100 to perform the honey discharge step, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency, and is beneficial to discharging excess sugar liquid, improving the consistency of sugar liquid discharge from each crystallization basin 100, and improving product stability.

[0039] An automatic production line for polycrystalline rock sugar according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a liquid injection mechanism, which includes a liquid injection head 320. The liquid injection head 320 is located above the transmission chain 110. When the crystallization basin 100 is in the first conveying direction, the liquid injection head 320 is used to inject sugar solution into the crystallization basin 100.

[0040] It is understandable that a liquid injection head 320 is provided, and the crystallization basin 100 is transported to the bottom of the liquid injection head 320 by means of the transmission chain 110. The liquid injection head 320 injects sugar solution into the crystallization basin 100 one by one, and then the crystallization basin 100 is transferred to the next production step by the transmission chain 110, thereby improving the degree of automation of the equipment.

[0041] An automatic production line of polycrystalline rock sugar according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , and also includes a crystallization bin 330, wherein a receiving channel 340 is defined inside the crystallization bin 330, and the receiving channel 340 is used to receive the crystallization basin 100 after the sugar solution is injected.

[0042] It can be understood that by setting up the crystallization bin 330, a accommodating channel 340 is defined in the crystallization bin 330. Under the transportation of the transmission chain 110, the crystallization basin 100 can enter the accommodating channel 340. The accommodating channel 340 can accommodate a large number of crystallization basins 100 at a time. A large number of crystallization basins 100 are crystallized to form polycrystalline rock sugar, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency. In addition, when crystals are stored, the crystallization bin 330 can reduce the entry of foreign matter into the interior of the crystallization basin 100, which is beneficial to improving the cleanliness of the polycrystalline rock sugar.

[0043] An automatic production line for polycrystalline rock sugar according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a desugaring mechanism, which includes a desugaring device 350. The desugaring device 350 is protrudingly arranged on the first guide rail 160. The desugaring device 350 is located below the transmission chain 110. The desugaring device 350 is used to abut against the turning frame 120 to drive the crystallization basin 100 to turn up and down.

[0044] It can be understood that by providing the desugaring device 350, when the crystallization basin 100 is in the third conveying direction, the flip frame 120 abuts against the desugaring device 350, and the flip frame 120 flips up and down, causing the crystallization basin 100 to vibrate, thereby causing the polycrystalline rock sugar in the crystallization basin 100 to fall off, eliminating the need for manual use of tools to remove the polycrystalline rock sugar, thereby improving the desugaring efficiency.

[0045] An automatic production line for polycrystalline rock sugar according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a cleaning mechanism, which is disposed below the transmission chain 110 and is used to clean the crystallization basin 100 after passing through the desugaring device 350 .

[0046] It is understandable that by setting up a cleaning mechanism, the cleaning mechanism can clean the crystallization basin 100 after desugaring and remove the residual sugar solution on the inner surface of the crystallization basin 100. After cleaning, the crystallization basin 100 can proceed to the next basin filling step, which greatly improves the reuse efficiency of the crystallization basin 100.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 2 The turning frame 120 has an overlapping portion 130 and a hinged portion 140. In the first conveying direction of the transmission chain 110, the overlapping portion 130 and the hinged portion 140 are horizontally arranged opposite to each other, the overlapping portion 130 is overlapped on the top of the transmission chain 110, and the hinged portion 140 is rotatably arranged on the transmission chain 110, so that the crystallization basin 100 is in a flat state. In the second conveying direction, the third conveying direction and the fourth conveying direction, the overlapping portion 130 is separated from the transmission chain 110 under the action of the gravity of the crystallization basin 100 itself.

[0048] It can be understood that when the crystallization basin 100 is in the first conveying direction, the overlapping portion 130 overlaps the top of the transmission chain 110, the crystallization basin 100 is in a flat state, and the crystallization basin 100 can perform the basin pouring step. When it is in the second conveying direction, the third conveying direction and the fourth conveying direction, the flip frame 120 moves along the first guide rail 160. Under the action of the crystallization basin 100's own gravity, the overlapping portion 130 is separated from the transmission chain 110, and the crystallization basin 100 gradually tilts. Therefore, there is no need to use an additional power source to drive the flip frame 120 to flip, which simplifies the structure of the flip mechanism and reduces the manufacturing cost of the flip mechanism.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The overlapping portion 130 is connected to a first abutment member 150, and the first guide rail 160 has a first guide section 170, a second guide section 180 and a third guide section 190 which are connected in sequence. The first guide section 170 extends in a curve along the second conveying direction, the second guide section 180 extends in a straight line along the third conveying direction, and the third guide section 190 extends in a curve along the fourth conveying direction. The first abutment member 150 can move in sequence along the first guide section 170, the second guide section 180 and the third guide section 190 to guide the crystallization basin 100 to be in a tilted state at different angles.

[0050] It should be noted that the first abutting member 150 is a roller, which can reduce the friction between the first abutting member 150 and the first guide rail 160 .

[0051] It can be understood that when the first abutment 150 moves along the first guide section 170, the flip frame 120 rotates, so that the crystallization basin 100 is in a tilted state and can perform the honey drainage step. When the first abutment 150 moves along the second guide section 180, the plane where the mouth of the crystallization basin 100 is located forms a certain angle with the horizontal plane, and a large number of crystallization basins 100 can stay on the second guide section 180, which is beneficial to the maximum discharge of the sugar liquid in the crystallization basin 100 and improves the efficiency of honey drainage, so that the honey drainage and honey dripping actions of each crystallization basin 100 are consistent, ensuring the stable quality of each batch of polycrystalline rock sugar produced and improving product quality.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 The flip frame 120 is hinged with an anti-slip frame 200, and the anti-slip frame 200 is provided with a second abutment 210. A support rail 220 is arranged on the periphery of the transmission chain 110. The support rail 220 has a first supporting section 230 and a second supporting section 240 connected to each other. The first supporting section 230 extends in a curve along the second conveying direction, and the second supporting section 240 extends in a straight line along the third conveying direction. The second abutment 210 can move along the first supporting section 230 and the second supporting section 240 in sequence to make the anti-slip frame 200 close to the basin mouth of the crystallization basin 100.

[0053] It should be noted that the second abutting member 210 is a roller, which can reduce the friction between the second abutting member 210 and the support rail 220 .

[0054] By providing the anti-slip frame 200, the support rail 220 and the second abutment member 210, when the crystallization basin 100 is in the second conveying direction, the second abutment member 210 moves along the first lifting section 230, so that the anti-slip frame gradually approaches the basin mouth of the crystallization basin 100. When the crystallization basin 100 is in the third conveying direction, the second abutment member 210 moves along the second lifting section 240. The anti-slip frame 200 can prevent the polycrystalline rock sugar from the crystallization basin 100 from escaping, thereby separating the polycrystalline rock sugar from the excess sugar solution, which is convenient for the subsequent desugaring process.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 5 A second guide rail 250 is arranged on the periphery of the transmission chain 110. The second guide rail 250 has a fourth guide segment 260 and a fifth guide segment 270 that are connected to each other. The fourth guide segment 260 extends in a straight line along the first conveying direction, and the fifth guide segment 270 extends in a curve along the second conveying direction. The second abutment member 210 can move over the fourth guide segment 260 and the fifth guide segment 270 in sequence.

[0056] It can be understood that when the crystallization basin 100 enters the second conveying direction from the first conveying direction, the turning frame 120 rotates, so that the anti-slip frame 200 rotates to the direction of the mouth of the crystallization basin 100. Due to the action of gravity, if the anti-slip frame 200 directly collides with the crystallization basin 100, the polycrystalline rock sugar in the crystallization basin 100 may fall off, making it impossible to separate the polycrystalline rock sugar and excess sugar liquid. Therefore, the second abutment member 210 is used to move successively along the fourth guide section 260 and the fifth guide section 270, which is conducive to making the anti-slip frame 200 gradually approach the basin mouth of the crystallization basin 100 and avoiding the anti-slip frame 200 colliding with the crystallization basin 100.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 A guide path 280 is formed between the curved outer side of the fifth guide segment 270 and the curved inner side of the first lifting segment 230 , and the guide path 280 accommodates the second abutting member 210 to pass through.

[0058] It is understandable that the second abutment member 210 can just pass through the guide channel 280 , and the guide channel 280 serves as a connection between the fifth guide section 270 and the first lifting section 230 , ensuring that the anti-slip frame 200 can smoothly approach the mouth of the crystallization basin 100 .

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 6 and Figure 8A limiting structure 300 is provided between the hinge of the flip frame 120 and the anti-detachment frame 200 , and the limiting structure 300 is used to prevent the anti-detachment frame 200 from rotating in a direction away from the mouth of the crystallization basin 100 .

[0060] Specifically, the anti-slip frame 200 has a sleeve, the flip frame 120 has a support shaft, and the sleeve is sleeved on the support shaft, so that the flip frame 120 and the anti-slip frame 200 can rotate relatively.

[0061] In order to prevent the anti-slip frame 200 from flipping to the outside of the crystallization basin 100, a limiting structure 300 can be set between the support shaft and the sleeve, the sleeve is provided with an avoidance groove, and the support shaft is provided with a limiting pin, and the limiting pin is in the avoidance groove, thereby preventing the anti-slip frame 200 from rotating in a direction away from the basin mouth of the crystallization basin 100, and ensuring that the anti-slip frame 200 can rotate close to the basin mouth of the crystallization basin 100.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the distance between the second guide section and the transmission chain 110 is , the distance between the first guide section and the transmission chain 110 is , .

[0063] Therefore, when the first abutment member 150 passes through the first guide section, it can guide the crystallization basin 100 to tilt gradually, avoiding the situation where the mouth of the crystallization basin 100 is immediately turned upside down and causes the polycrystalline rock sugar to separate from the crystallization basin 100, thereby ensuring the smooth implementation of the honey discharge step; when the first abutment member 150 passes through the second guide section, it can make the crystallization basin 100 tilt at a certain angle, and the mouth of the crystallization basin 100 faces downward, which is convenient for the sugar removal step.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 2 Two transmission chains 110 are provided, the two transmission chains 110 are arranged opposite to each other, and the crystallization basin 100 is arranged between the two transmission chains 110 .

[0065] Therefore, using two transmission chains 110 to transport the crystallization basin 100 is conducive to the smooth movement of the crystallization basin 100 in the first, second, third and fourth conveying directions, while ensuring that the transmission chains 110 effectively support the crystallization basin 100.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, the turning frame 120 has a square connection frame 310 , and the connection frame 310 is connected to the mouth of the crystallization basin 100 .

[0067] Therefore, using the connection frame 310 to connect with the mouth of the crystallization basin 100 is beneficial to making the structure of the conveying device more compact and reducing the space occupied by the conveying device in the vertical direction.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, a first collecting trough 380 is disposed below the transmission chain 110 , the first collecting trough 380 is disposed close to the second lifting section 240 , and a conveying net 390 is disposed between the first collecting trough 380 and the transmission chain 110 .

[0069] During the honey discharge step, the anti-fall-off rack 200 can only prevent large pieces of polycrystalline rock sugar from escaping the crystallization basin 100, but small pieces of polycrystalline rock sugar cannot be stopped. The conveying net 390 can be used to collect small pieces of polycrystalline rock sugar, and the excess sugar liquid in the crystallization basin 100 can pass through the mesh of the conveying net 390 and fall into the first collecting tank 380 during the discharge process, thereby achieving the separation of polycrystalline rock sugar and sugar liquid.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, a conveyor belt 400 is provided below the desugaring device 350 , and the conveyor belt 400 is used to convey the polycrystalline rock sugar, thereby facilitating the collection of the polycrystalline rock sugar separated from the crystallization basin 100 .

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The cleaning mechanism includes a water spray head 360 and an air jet head 370 . The water spray head 360 is located on the side of the desugaring device 350 away from the anti-detachment frame 200 , and the air jet head 370 is located on the side of the water spray head 360 away from the desugaring device 350 .

[0072] Therefore, after the polycrystalline rock sugar is separated from the crystallization basin 100, the inner surface of the crystallization basin 100 is firstly rinsed by the water spray head 360 to wash away the excess sugar on the inner surface of the crystallization basin 100, and then the water on the inner surface of the crystallization basin 100 is blown dry by the air spray head 370, which is beneficial to improve the reuse efficiency of the crystallization basin 100.

[0073] Of course, a second collecting tank 410 is provided below the water spray head 360, and the second collecting tank 410 is used to collect the washing water.

[0074] Based on the above-mentioned polycrystalline rock sugar automatic production line, the working method of the present invention is as follows: Step 1: The transmission chain 110 transports the crystallization basin 100 to the position of the injection head 320, and the injection head 320 injects high-temperature sugar solution into the crystallization basin 100; Step 2: After the sugar solution is injected, the crystallization basin 100 enters the containing channel 340, the transmission chain 110 stops conveying, and the heat generated by the sugar solution in the containing channel 340 is extracted by the exhaust fan 420. When the sugar solution drops to a specified range, the sugar solution is allowed to cool down and crystallize naturally. The crystallization time is 7-10 days. Step 3, starting the transmission chain 110, the crystallization basin 100 enters the second conveying direction, the crystallization basin 100 gradually tilts, and the excess sugar solution is discharged from the crystallization basin 100. When the crystallization basin 100 enters the third conveying direction, the transmission chain 110 suspends conveying for 5-8 hours, and the plane where the basin mouth of the crystallization basin 100 is located forms an acute angle with the horizontal plane, so as to further discharge the excess sugar solution; Step 4, starting the transmission chain 110, the sugar remover 350 abuts against the turning frame 120, so as to drive the crystallization basin 100 to turn upside down, the crystallization basin 100 vibrates, and the multi-crystal rock sugar falls off from the crystallization basin 100; Step five, using the cleaning mechanism to clean the crystallization basin 100 after passing through the sugar remover 350, so that the crystallization basin 100 enters the next basin filling process.
