Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of syrup preparation technology, and in particular to a stirring device for increasing the carbon dioxide aeration content in syrup. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of popping candy production technology, traditional manufacturing processes typically employ a production system that includes a sugar-boiling device, a mixing tank, an expansion tank, and a gas supply device. The core mixing and aeration process is carried out through the mixing tank, which consists of a tank body, a tank lid, and a stirring device. During operation, molten sugar syrup is injected into the tank through the syrup inlet until it is full. Then, high-pressure carbon dioxide gas is introduced into the tank through the gas inlet on the tank lid. The gas is mixed with the sugar syrup by the mechanical action of the stirring paddle. This technical solution achieves the combination of sugar and carbon dioxide through physical aeration, laying the foundation for the subsequent candy puffing process.

[0003] However, existing mixing tank structures have technical limitations: during the gas filling stage, the gas generally enters the interior from one side of the tank. This design makes it difficult to ensure the uniformity of gas distribution inside the syrup. Since the stirring device generally rotates in a fixed position, even if stirring is performed by the stirring device, the range of power is very limited, affecting the carbon dioxide content in the syrup. Therefore, this invention proposes a stirring device to increase the carbon dioxide content in the syrup to solve the problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention proposes a stirring device for increasing the carbon dioxide aeration content in syrup. This device contains syrup in a tank and introduces carbon dioxide through gas pipes on both sides. During gas introduction, the gas pipes and vibrating rods perform reciprocating up-and-down movements, generating a vibration force in the introduced area, facilitating gas dispersion. Simultaneously, the stirring assembly stirs the syrup. The stirring assembly's reciprocating up-and-down movements during stirring increase the range of applied power, which is beneficial for carbon dioxide diffusion, thereby increasing the carbon dioxide aeration content and uniformity in the syrup.

Simultaneously, the stirring assembly stirs the syrup. The stirring assembly performs a lifting and reciprocating motion during the stirring process, which increases the range of power application, facilitates the diffusion of carbon dioxide, and improves the carbon dioxide content and uniformity in the syrup.

[0029] The upper outer side of the can body 1 and the lower outer side of the can lid 2 are both provided with edging 9, and the two sets of edging 9 are fixed together by bolts.

In use, the can lid 2 is placed on the can body 1, and the two sets of edging 9 are fixed with bolts. After use, the valve is opened to discharge the syrup through the dispensing nozzle 10.

[0030] The lifting assembly includes a gear ring 11, a bearing seat 12, and a gear 13. The gear ring 11 is rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting base 3 and is driven to rotate by a motor. There are four sets of bearing seats 12, and the four sets of bearing seats 12 are equally angled on the outside of the mounting base 3.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] according to Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, this embodiment proposes a stirring device for increasing the carbon dioxide aeration content in syrup, including a tank body 1 and a mounting base 3. The mounting base 3 is provided with a lifting component, and the lifting component is provided with a frame 4. The tank body 1 is located inside the frame 4, and the tank body 1 is raised and lowered by the lifting component. A tank cover 2 is provided on the top of the tank body 1, and supports 5 are provided on both sides of the top of the tank cover 2. A gas guide pipe 6 and a vibrating rod 7 are movably provided on the supports 5. The lower ends of the gas guide pipe 6 and the vibrating rod 7 extend into the interior of the tank body 1, and the gas guide pipe 6 and the vibrating rod 7 perform reciprocating alternating raising and lowering movements. The gas guide pipe 6 is used to provide carbon dioxide.

[0036] A connecting plate 8 connects the two sets of supports 5, and the connecting plate 8 is equipped with a stirring assembly extending into the tank 1. The stirring assembly performs a lifting and stirring motion. In use, syrup is contained in the tank 1, and carbon dioxide is introduced through the gas guide pipes 6 on both sides. During the gas introduction process, the gas guide pipes 6 and the vibrating rod 7 perform a reciprocating lifting and lowering motion, which generates a vibration force in the introduction area, facilitating gas dispersion. Simultaneously, the stirring assembly stirs the syrup. The stirring assembly performs a lifting and reciprocating motion during the stirring process, which increases the range of power application, facilitates the diffusion of carbon dioxide, and improves the carbon dioxide content and uniformity in the syrup.

[0037] The upper outer side of the can body 1 and the lower outer side of the can lid 2 are both provided with edging 9, and the two sets of edging 9 are fixed together by bolts. A dispensing nozzle 10 is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the can body 1, and the dispensing nozzle 10 is equipped with a valve. In use, the can lid 2 is placed on the can body 1, and the two sets of edging 9 are fixed with bolts. After use, the valve is opened to discharge the syrup through the dispensing nozzle 10.

[0038] The stirring assembly includes an outer sleeve 24 and an inner sleeve 25. The outer sleeve 24 is connected between the connecting plate 8 and the tank cover 2. The inner sleeve 25 is movably disposed inside the outer sleeve 24. The lower end of the inner sleeve 25 is provided with a stirring unit extending into the tank body 1. The inner side of the outer sleeve 24 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 26, and the outer side of the inner sleeve 25 is provided with a protrusion 27 adapted to the arc-shaped groove 26. The stirring unit includes a rotating shaft 28 and a stirring blade 29. The rotating shaft 28 is connected to the lower end of the inner sleeve 25, and the lower end of the rotating shaft 28 extends into the tank body 1. The stirring blade 29 is disposed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 28. A reduction motor 30 is provided at the middle position of the top of the connecting plate 8, and the output end of the reduction motor 30 is provided with a rectangular rod 31 extending into the outer sleeve 24. The inner sleeve 25 is sleeved on the outside of the rectangular rod 31 and slidably adapted. In use, the geared motor 30 drives the rectangular rod 31 to rotate. Due to its rectangular shape, the inner sleeve 25 rotates inside the outer sleeve 24, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 28 and the stirring blade 29 to rotate, thus stirring the syrup. Due to the matching effect between the protrusion 27 and the arc groove 26, the inner sleeve 25 rises and falls inside the outer sleeve 24 during rotation, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 28 and the stirring blade 29 to rise and fall, thereby increasing the range of power application, which is beneficial for the diffusion of carbon dioxide and improving the carbon dioxide aeration content and uniformity in the syrup.

[0039] The stirring device for increasing the carbon dioxide aeration content in syrup contains syrup in a tank 1 and introduces carbon dioxide through gas pipes 6 on both sides. During the gas introduction process, the gas pipes 6 and the vibrating rod 7 perform reciprocating up-and-down movements, generating vibration force in the introduction area to facilitate gas dispersion. Simultaneously, the stirring component stirs the syrup, and the stirring component's up-and-down reciprocating movement during stirring increases the range of power application, which is beneficial for carbon dioxide diffusion and improves the carbon dioxide aeration content and uniformity in the syrup. In addition, the tank 1 is installed in a frame 4. The rotation of the gear ring 11 drives the rotation of the gear 13. The gears 13 in four positions drive the rotation of the first lifting arm 14, which, in conjunction with the linkage of the second lifting arm 15, drives the frame 4 and the tank 1 to reciprocate up-and-down movements, causing the syrup inside to tumble and fully disperse the carbon dioxide, further increasing the aeration content.
