Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of chocolate grinding and relates to a fine grinding device for chocolate raw materials. Background Art

[0002] Chocolate is a food made from cocoa beans and is processed through steps such as fermentation, baking, and grinding. It is mainly divided into three types: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate, which differ in cocoa content and added ingredients. Chocolate is widely used in desserts, beverages, and cooking and is loved globally for its unique flavor and texture. During the processing of chocolate, the chocolate raw materials need to be finely ground.

[0003] The fine grinding of chocolate raw materials is the core step of converting cocoa bean fragments into delicate chocolate liquor blocks, directly affecting the flavor and texture of the finished product. Currently, when finely grinding chocolate raw materials, the chocolate raw materials are usually added into a grinding disc, and then the cocoa beans are ground by a grinding roller. However, after fine grinding, the cocoa beans will be ground into a sticky paste, and the sticky paste-like cocoa beans will adhere to the fine grinding equipment, making it difficult to clean the cocoa beans. It is necessary for workers to pour out and clean the cocoa bean raw materials from the fine grinding equipment, and the operation is relatively cumbersome. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation manner

[0029] The present invention will be specifically described below in conjunction with the attached drawings.

[0030] A fine grinding device for chocolate raw materials, as Figures 1-4 shown, includes a base 1, a mounting bracket 2, a grinding disc 3, a discharge hopper 5, a baffle 6, a grinding mechanism and a driving mechanism. The mounting bracket 2 is connected to the top of the base 1. The grinding disc 3 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the base 1. There is a damping between the base 1 and the grinding disc 3. The discharge hopper 5 is connected to the right side of the top of the base 1. The baffles 6 are slidably connected to both the left and right sides of the base 1. The baffles 6 block the lower part of the grinding disc 3. The mounting bracket 2 is provided with a grinding mechanism for grinding chocolate raw materials, and the base 1 is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the grinding disc 3 to flip.

[0031] As Figures 2-4 shown, the grinding mechanism includes an electric push rod 41, a mounting plate 42, a turntable 43, a rolling wheel 44 and a driving motor 45. The electric push rods 41 are installed on both the left and right sides of the mounting bracket 2. The mounting plate 42 is connected between the telescopic rods of the two electric push rods 41. The turntable 43 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 42. The driving motor 45 is installed on the mounting plate 42. The output shaft of the driving motor 45 is connected to the turntable 43, so that the operation of the driving motor 45 can drive the turntable 43 to rotate. The rolling wheels 44 are rotatably connected to the lower parts of both the left and right sides of the turntable 43. The rolling wheels 44 are located inside the grinding disc 3, so that the rotation of the rolling wheels 44 inside the grinding disc 3 can perform a rolling process on the raw materials inside the grinding disc 3.

[0032] As Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the driving mechanism includes a C-shaped sliding frame 51, a connecting frame 52, a driving rack 53, and a transmission gear 54. A C-shaped sliding frame 51 is slidably connected to the rear side of the base 1. The C-shaped sliding frame 51 can slide up and down along the base 1. Connecting frames 52 are connected to both the left and right sides of the C-shaped sliding frame 51. A driving rack 53 is connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 52. Transmission gears 54 are connected to the transmission shafts on both sides of the grinding disc 3. The driving rack 53 meshes with the transmission gear 54, so that the movement of the driving rack 53 can drive the transmission gear 54 to rotate, thereby driving the grinding disc 3 to flip.

[0033] As Figures 5-7 shown in the figure, a scraping mechanism is further included. The scraping mechanism includes a rotating frame 71, a locking block 73, a scraping frame 74, a runner 75, a crank 76, and a clamping seat 72. The rotating frame 71 is rotatably connected to the lower part of the front side of the mounting frame 2. The locking block 73 is slidably connected to the rotating frame 71. The locking block 73 can slide up and down along the rotating frame 71. The scraping frame 74 is rotatably connected to the front side of the rotating frame 71. When the grinding disc 3 is in a flipped state, the scraping frame 74 can rotate and fit with the inner wall of the grinding disc 3. A runner 75 is connected to the front side of the scraping frame 74. A crank 76 is connected to the eccentric position of the runner 75. Two clamping seats 72 are connected to the lower part of the front side of the mounting frame 2. The locking block 73 can be clamped at the clamping seat 72, thereby assisting in fixing the rotating frame 71.

[0034] When it is necessary to finely grind chocolate raw materials, this fine grinding device can be used. When in use, first add the chocolate raw materials into the grinding disc 3. Subsequently, the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 41 can be controlled to extend, driving the mounting disc 42 to move downward. The downward movement of the mounting disc 42 drives the turntable 43, the drive motor 45, and the rolling wheel 44 to move downward. After the rolling wheel 44 moves downward, it enters the inside of the grinding disc 3. At this time, the drive motor 45 can be controlled to operate to drive the turntable 43 to rotate. When the turntable 43 rotates, it can drive the rolling wheel 44 to rotate. When the rolling wheel 44 rotates, it can roll and grind the chocolate raw materials, thereby achieving the effect of finely grinding the chocolate raw materials. After the fine grinding is completed, the telescopic rod of the electric push rod 41 is controlled to retract, driving the mounting disc 42, the turntable 43, the rolling wheel 44, and the drive motor 45 to move upward. When the rolling wheel 44 moves upward, it will contact and squeeze the C-shaped sliding frame 51 to move the C-shaped sliding frame 51 upward. Before that, the baffle 6 can be pulled outwards, so that the baffle 6 is separated from the grinding disc 3. The upward movement of the C-shaped sliding frame 51 can drive the connecting frame 52 and the drive rack 53 to move upward. When the drive rack 53 moves upward, it drives the transmission gear 54 to rotate. When the transmission gear 54 rotates, it can drive the grinding disc 3 to flip, so that the side of the grinding disc 3 faces to the right. At this time, the finely ground chocolate raw materials on the grinding disc 3 will be poured into the discharge hopper 5, and the finely ground chocolate raw materials are discharged through the assistance of the discharge hopper 5. At the same time, the locking block 73 can be pulled upward, so that the locking block 73 is separated from the card seat 72. Subsequently, the rotating frame 71 is operated to rotate by ninety degrees. The rotation of the rotating frame 71 drives the locking block 73 to rotate. After the locking block 73 rotates, it aligns with another card seat 72. At this time, the locking block 73 can be controlled to move downward and be inserted into another card seat 72. At this time, the rotating frame 71 also drives the scraping frame 74 to rotate to be located inside the grinding disc 3. Subsequently, the crank 76 can be operated to drive the rotating wheel 75 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating wheel 75 can drive the scraping frame 74 to rotate, thereby scraping out the chocolate raw materials attached inside the grinding disc 3, so that the chocolate raw materials fall on the discharge hopper 5. In this way, this device can be used to finely grind the chocolate raw materials, and after the fine grinding is completed, the finely ground chocolate raw materials can also be automatically poured out without manual operation for pouring, which is more convenient during operation.

[0035] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, it further includes a pre-crushing mechanism. The pre-crushing mechanism includes a support rod 81, a feeding hopper 82, a servo motor 83, and a crushing wheel 84. The right side of the mounting disc 42 is connected to the support rod 81. The right side of the support rod 81 is connected to the feeding hopper 82. Both the left and right sides of the lower part of the feeding hopper 82 are rotatably connected to the crushing wheel 84. The lower part of the feeding hopper 82 is aligned with the inside of the grinding disc 3. The servo motor 83 is installed on the front side of the feeding hopper 82. The output shaft of the servo motor 83 is connected to the left crushing wheel 84, so that the servo motor 83 can drive the crushing wheel 84 to rotate.

[0036] When adding the chocolate raw material, the chocolate raw material can be added into the feeding hopper 82. The chocolate raw material in the feeding hopper 82 will fall between the two crushing wheels 84. At this time, the servo motor 83 can be controlled to drive one of the crushing wheels 84 to rotate, and cooperate with the other crushing wheel 84 to pre-crush the chocolate raw material. In this way, the chocolate raw material can be pre-crushed to facilitate subsequent fine grinding treatment.

[0037] Such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown in the figure, it further includes a cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes an arc-shaped retaining ring 91, a guide frame 92, a sliding rod 93, a U-shaped scraping plate 94 and an elastic member 95. The inner top of the mounting frame 2 is connected with an arc-shaped retaining ring 91. The front and rear sides of the right side of the mounting disc 42 are both connected with a guide frame 92. A sliding rod 93 is slidably connected to the guide frame 92. The sliding rod 93 is located below the arc-shaped retaining ring 91. An elastic member 95 is connected between the sliding rod 93 and the guide frame 92. The elastic member 95 is a connecting spring. The bottom of the sliding rod 93 is connected with a U-shaped scraping plate 94. When the rolling wheel 44 moves upward, it can fit with the inner arc surface of the U-shaped scraping plate 94, so that when the rolling wheel 44 rotates, the impurities on the surface of the rolling wheel 44 can be cleaned by the U-shaped scraping plate 94.

[0038] When the mounting disc 42 moves upward, it will drive the sliding rod 93 to move upward through the guide frame 92 and the elastic member 95. After the sliding rod 93 moves upward, it can contact the arc-shaped retaining ring 91. At this time, the sliding rod 93 stops moving. When the mounting disc 42 continues to move upward, it will drive the guide frame 92 and the rolling wheel 44 to move upward. The upward movement of the guide frame 92 compresses the elastic member 95. The upward movement of the rolling wheel 44 can move to contact the U-shaped scraping plate 94. At this time, the rolling wheel 44 can be manually rotated, and the chocolate raw material attached to the rolling wheel 44 can be finely ground by the U-shaped scraping plate 94. In this way, the chocolate raw material attached to the rolling wheel 44 can be finely ground.

[0039] Such as Figure 12 As shown in the figure, it further includes a cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes an extension rod 101, a spray pipe 102 and a liquid injection pipe 103. The extension rod 101 is installed at the rear side of the mounting frame 2. A spray pipe 102 is slidably connected to the extension rod 101. The spray pipe 102 can slide up and down along the extension rod 101. The spray pipe 102 is communicated with a liquid injection pipe 103. After the grinding disc 3 is turned over, the spray pipe 102 is aligned with the side surface of the grinding disc 3.

[0040] After the fine grinding of the chocolate raw materials is completed, an external water pipe can be connected to the liquid injection pipe 103. Subsequently, water can be passed through the water pipe. The water enters the spray pipe 102 through the liquid injection pipe 103 and then is sprayed out through the spray pipe 102, thereby spraying water on the grinding disc 3. Subsequently, the spray pipe 102 is pulled up and down to achieve the effect of flushing the grinding disc 3.
