Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of candy production and processing technology, and in particular to a cooking and stirring device and its stirring process for producing gel candies. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of gel candies, cooking is one of the key processes. Traditional cooking and stirring devices typically employ a fixed stirring structure, where the position and shape of the stirring components (such as paddles or scrapers) cannot be dynamically adjusted during the cooking process. In the initial stages of cooking, when the liquid level is high and the steam pressure is high, the fixed stirring range can meet the requirements; however, as cooking progresses, water evaporation causes a significant drop in liquid level and a decrease in steam pressure. Because the fixed stirrer cannot reach the bottom of the tank, the following problems easily occur:

[0003] Firstly, after the liquid level drops, the stirring components cannot effectively cover the bottom of the tank, resulting in uneven heating of the material. Localized high temperatures can easily cause the bottom to burn and coke to form.

[0004] Secondly, high-viscosity gel materials have poor fluidity at low liquid levels, and a fixed stirring range can lead to material stratification or localized deposition.

[0005] Finally: Traditional wall scraping mechanisms are mostly static designs or manually adjustable, which cannot respond to changes in liquid level in real time, making it difficult to remove residual materials from the side walls and bottom of the tank.

[0006] While existing improvements (such as adding a height-adjustable stirring shaft) can partially alleviate the problem, they still rely on external sensors or manual control, resulting in complex structures and slow response times. For example, some devices use a liquid level sensor to trigger a motor to adjust the stirring height, but this leads to problems such as a high failure rate of the electrical system in high-temperature and high-humidity environments and high maintenance costs. Furthermore, changes in steam pressure, as a physical quantity that directly reflects the cooking process, have not been effectively used in existing technologies to drive the adaptive adjustment of the stirring mechanism.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can automatically adjust the height, shape, and scraping action of the stirring components based on the linkage mechanism between the drop in liquid level and the change in steam pressure during the cooking process, in order to solve common industry problems such as scorching and uneven mixing.

[0016] Preferably, a connecting rib is fixedly connected between the bottom end of the end post and the T-shaped scraper, the cross-section of the connecting rib is H-shaped, and a reset spring is fixedly connected between the top end of the end post and the right-angle cavity.

[0017] Preferably, the steam lifting assembly includes a pair of fixed cylinders fixedly connected to the main body of the cooking tank. The top end of the fixed cylinder is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, and the other end of the connecting pipe is fixed to the top of the main body of the cooking tank. A piston rod is slidably installed inside the fixed cylinder in the vertical direction. A support spring is fixedly connected to the top end of the piston rod and the top end of the fixed cylinder. The top of the floating plate is provided with an integral annular groove. The bottom ends of the two piston rods are connected to sliders, and the sliders are slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove.

[0018] Preferably, each of the two connecting pipes is fixedly connected to a bottom air outlet pipe at one end near the main body of the cooking tank, and the end of the bottom air outlet pipe is fixedly connected to an air bladder made of rubber.

[0019] Preferably, one end of the extension shaft near the bottom is rotatably connected to two sets of stirring blades via a movable shaft. Each set of stirring blades includes several pairs, and adjacent stirring blades are rotatably connected via a movable shaft. One of each pair of stirring blades is fixedly connected to multiple arc-shaped support arms. The arc-shaped support arms are concentric with the movable shaft between each pair of stirring blades.

[0027] Firstly, this invention utilizes a linked design between the floating plate and the steam lifting assembly. The device automatically adjusts the height and shape of the stirring components based on changes in liquid level and steam pressure during the cooking process (reduced steam leads to lower pressure). In the early cooking stage (high liquid level / high steam pressure): the floating plate rises, and the stirring plates expand to increase the stirring range; in the later cooking stage (low liquid level / low steam pressure): the floating plate sinks, and the stirring plates retract to the bottom of the tank for concentrated stirring. This solves the problem of insufficient stirring and easy scorching at the bottom caused by the reduced liquid level in traditional equipment during the later stages of cooking.

[0028] Secondly, this invention utilizes a wall-scraping assembly that links the floating roof, side scraper, and T-shaped scraper via a wire rope: when the floating roof sinks, it pulls the wire rope to drive the side scraper to horizontally expand and scrape the side wall, while simultaneously pulling the T-shaped scraper down to scrape the bottom of the tank; return spring one and return spring two ensure that the wall-scraping components automatically retract when the liquid level rises, avoiding interference with stirring and solving the problems of low wall-scraping efficiency and inability to respond to liquid level changes in real time;

[0029] Thirdly, the stirring plate of this invention adopts a movable shaft connection design: each set of stirring plates slides with an arc-shaped support arm and an arc-shaped groove, which increases the stirring area when unfolded and focuses on the bottom of the cooking tank when retracted: it can effectively adapt to the stirring intensity requirements of different cooking stages and improve the uniformity of materials.

[0042] The present invention will now be described in detail, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0043] This invention provides an improved cooking and stirring apparatus and stirring process for producing gel candies. The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0044] Example 1

[0045] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a cooking and stirring device for producing gel candies, including a cooking tank body 1. A heating wire is installed at the bottom of the cooking tank body 1 to achieve self-heating. A motor mounting bracket is fixed to the top of the cooking tank body 1. The device also includes:

[0046] A steam lifting assembly is installed at the top of the cooking tank body 1;

[0047] The rotating shaft assembly includes an extension shaft 3 rotatably connected to the top of the cooking tank body 1. A drive motor 2 is fixed to the top of the extension shaft 3 and is fixed to a motor mounting bracket. A sleeve 11 is slidably mounted on the outer wall of the extension shaft 3 in the vertical direction via a key. A float 5 is fixed to one end of the sleeve 11. The float 5 can change its height under the influence of steam and buoyancy.

[0048] The wall-scraping assembly is mounted on the floating plate 5 and the extension shaft 3. The wall-scraping assembly includes a wall-scraping part and a rope part. The wall-scraping part includes a right-angled cavity 22 opened in the extension shaft 3. An end post 19 and a T-shaped scraper 9 are slidably installed in the right-angled cavity 22. Side scraper rods 10 are slidably installed on both sides of the floating plate 5 in the horizontal direction. With the above structure, when the material inside the cooking tank body 1 decreases as cooking, the steam generated by the water will also decrease, which will cause the floating plate 5 to move downward. At this time, the side scraper rods 10 and the T-shaped scraper 9 will move towards the inner wall of the cooking tank body 1 until they contact the inner wall of the cooking tank body 1, thereby scraping its interior to prevent the bottom from burning during subsequent cooking.

[0049] Furthermore, a pair of fixed seats 13 are fixedly installed inside the floating plate 5. Each of the two fixed seats 13 has a sliding groove that slides with the side scraper 10, and a return spring 15 is fixed between one end of the sliding groove and the side scraper 10.

[0050] Furthermore, in order to reserve space for the subsequent wire rope 14 and avoid interference between the wire rope 14 and the floating table 5, a reserved slot 23 is provided on both sides of the sleeve 11 and the floating table 5. A connecting slot 17 is provided on both sides of the extension shaft 3. The connecting slot 17 has a Z-shaped structure and the corners of the connecting slot 17 are rounded. The two ends of the connecting slot 17 are connected to the floating table 5 and the inside of the right-angle cavity 22, respectively.

[0051] Furthermore, guide wheels 18 are installed at the corners of the connecting groove 17, and a steel wire rope 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the side scraper 10. The steel wire rope 14 movably passes through the fixed seat block 13, and passes through the connecting groove 17 under the support of the guide wheels 18. The other end of the steel wire rope 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the end post 19. Figures 5-6 As shown, when the floating plate 5 continues to move downward in this state, it can drive the subsequent stirring plate 8 to retract. At this time, the end of the stirring plate 8 can abut against the side scraper 10, thereby pushing the side scraper 10 to move towards the inner wall of the cooking tank body 1. At the same time, the movement of the side scraper 10 and the floating plate 5 can generate a traction effect on the wire rope 14, and under the action of the guide wheel 18, pull the end column 19 and the T-shaped scraper 9 downward. This scenario is suitable for the later stage of cooking. At this time, the moisture in the material decreases, the liquid level decreases, and the steam generation rate decreases. The steam no longer generates a large thrust on the piston rod 7. On the contrary, the support spring 20 can push the piston rod 7 downward, thereby promoting the floating plate 5 to descend in height.

[0052] On the other hand, in the early and middle stages of cooking, the liquid level of the material is high, and the rate of steam generation increases during cooking, which increases the air pressure inside the main body 1 of the cooking tank. This pushes the piston rod 7 to move upward. In this case, the float 5 will pull the stirring plate 8 to unfold to accommodate the stirring of the material with a high liquid level. At the same time, the float 5 will also pull the wire rope 14 and pull the end column 19 and the T-shaped scraper 9 downward to increase the vertical stirring range of the stirring device.

[0053] Furthermore, a connecting rib 21 is fixedly connected between the bottom end of the end post 19 and the T-shaped scraper 9. The cross-section of the connecting rib 21 is H-shaped. A return spring 26 is fixedly connected between the top end of the end post 19 and the right-angle cavity 22. The connecting rib 21 enables the end post 19 and the T-shaped scraper 9 to become an integral structure. At the same time, its H-shaped cross-section can avoid motion interference with the wire rope 14.

[0054] Furthermore, the steam lifting assembly includes a pair of fixed cylinders 6 fixedly connected to the main body 1 of the cooking tank. The top end of the fixed cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 601, and the other end of the connecting pipe 601 is fixed to the top of the main body 1 of the cooking tank. A piston rod 7 is slidably installed in the vertical direction inside the fixed cylinder 6. A support spring 20 is fixedly connected to the top end of the piston rod 7 and the top end of the fixed cylinder 6. An integral annular groove 12 is provided on the top of the floating plate 5. A slider is connected to the bottom end of both piston rods 7. The slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the annular groove 12. When steam is generated inside the main body 1 of the cooking tank, the gas pressure inside the main body 1 of the cooking tank increases, thereby pushing the piston rod 7 to move upward. This arrangement ensures that when the piston rod 7 pushes and pulls the floating plate 5 vertically, it will not interfere with the rotation of the floating plate 5.

[0055] Furthermore, each of the two connecting pipes 601 is fixedly connected to a bottom vent pipe 602 at one end near the main body 1 of the cooking tank. The end of the bottom vent pipe 602 is fixedly connected to an air bladder 603, which is made of rubber. With the above structure, when the height of the piston rod 7 is lower, the volume of the air bladder 603 will be smaller under the action of air pressure. Conversely, when the height of the piston rod 7 is higher, the volume of the air bladder 603 will be larger. Thus, the height of the floating plate 5 in the main body 1 of the cooking tank can be estimated based on the size of the air bladder 603.

[0056] Furthermore, the end of the extension shaft 3 near the bottom is rotatably connected to two sets of stirring blades 8 via a movable shaft. Each set of stirring blades 8 includes several pairs, and adjacent stirring blades 8 are rotatably connected via a movable shaft. One of each pair of stirring blades 8 is fixedly connected to multiple arc-shaped support arms 801. The arc-shaped support arms 801 are concentric with the movable shaft between each pair of stirring blades 8. The other of each pair of stirring blades 8 is provided with an arc-shaped groove that slides with the arc-shaped support arm 801. Through the above structure, the stirring blades 8 can adjust their stirring range by extending them. Specifically, when the stirring blades 8 are folded, they can concentrate towards the bottom of the cooking tank body 1. At the same time, the arc-shaped support arms 801 gradually move through the arc-shaped groove, thereby enabling concentrated stirring of the inner bottom of the cooking tank body 1, thus avoiding scorching.

[0057] Furthermore, to discharge steam, a steam pipe 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the cooking tank body 1, and an electrically controlled valve 401 is installed on the steam pipe 4. The end of the steam pipe 4 is connected to an external steam delivery system. At the same time, to facilitate the addition of materials into the cooking tank body 1, a feed inlet 102 is provided at the other end of the top of the cooking tank body 1. A tank cover 101 is connected to the feed inlet 102 via a movable shaft. Fastening bolts can be threaded onto the edge of the tank cover 101 for connection and fixation with the cooking tank body 1. A discharge pipe 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cooking tank body 1, and a discharge valve 104 is fixedly installed on the discharge pipe 103. After the material is cooked, the cooked material can be discharged by opening the discharge valve 104.

[0058] The specific working method is as follows: Open the tank cover 101 to add materials. At this time, the liquid level inside the main body 1 of the cooking tank is high. The main body 1 of the cooking tank is heated to cook the added materials. The drive motor 2 is started, and the extension shaft 3 drives the floating plate 5 and the stirring plate 8 to rotate for stirring. In the early stage of cooking, the main body 1 of the cooking tank is in a state of high liquid level and high steam pressure. The steam pressure pushes the piston rod 7 in the fixed cylinder 6 to move upward, overcome the resistance of the support spring 20, and lift the floating plate 5 through the annular rail groove 12. The floating plate 5 moves upward and pulls the sleeve 11. The stirring plate 8 at the bottom of the extension shaft 3 unfolds the arc support arm 801 through gravity and centrifugal force and slides out of the arc groove to expand the stirring range. At the same time, the T-shaped scraper 9 moves downward: When the floating plate 5 moves upward, the end column 19 is pulled by the steel wire rope 14 to overcome the resistance of the reset spring 16, so that the T-shaped scraper 9 moves downward to expand the vertical stirring depth.

[0059] During the later stages of cooking, the interior of the cooking tank 1 is in a state of low liquid level and low steam pressure. The reduction in steam leads to a drop in pressure, and the support spring 20 pushes the piston rod 7 downward, causing the float 5 to sink with the liquid level. At the same time, the downward movement of the float 5 pushes the stirring plate 8 to fold up to the bottom of the tank, and the arc-shaped support arm 801 slides into the arc-shaped groove to concentrate stirring and prevent scorching. The downward movement of the float 5 pulls the wire rope 14, which, after being turned by the guide wheel 18, pulls the end column 19 downward, causing the T-shaped scraper 9 to scrape the bottom of the tank. At the same time, the side scraper 10 expands outward and is mechanically pushed by the end of the folded stirring plate 8 to scrape the inner wall of the cooking tank 1. After cooking is completed, the discharge valve 104 is opened to discharge the material through the discharge pipe 103. At this time, the first reset spring 15 pulls back the side scraper 10, the second reset spring 16 pulls back the T-shaped scraper 9, and the float 5 returns to its initial height as the steam closes.
