Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chocolate production, in particular to a novel chocolate homogenizer. Background Art

[0002] Chocolate is usually formed using liquid. In the production process of pure fat chocolate, the chocolate needs to be tempered, and the process requires a chocolate tempering homogenizer.

[0003] Homogenizer is a kind of equipment used for homogenizing and emulsifying liquid materials (liquid-liquid phase or liquid-solid phase) with viscosity lower than 0.2Pa.s and temperature lower than 80℃. It is mainly used in the food or chemical industry, such as homogenizing and emulsifying processes in the production process of dairy products, beverages, cosmetics, medicines and other products. The homogenizer refines the material liquid under the triple effects of extrusion, strong impact and pressure loss expansion, so that the materials can be mixed more evenly. It can be seen that temperature control during the mixing process of chocolate raw materials is very important in the chocolate processing process.

[0004] The existing chocolate homogenizer has two defects. First, there are large bubbles in the chocolate produced by the existing chocolate homogenizer, which affects the appearance. Second, the existing chocolate homogenizer feeds the material slowly and is difficult to achieve fast feeding, which will cause the chocolate retained in the mixing kettle to be affected by the residual temperature of the mixing kettle, thereby affecting the taste.

[0005] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the prior art, it is necessary to design a new chocolate homogenizer to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model aims to provide a novel chocolate homogenizer.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose and other related purposes, the technical solution provided by the utility model is: a novel chocolate homogenizer, comprising a frame, a stirring kettle driven to swing by a swing mechanism is provided on the frame, a circulating heating pipeline is provided in the kettle wall of the stirring kettle, and the circulating heating pipeline is connected to an external circulating heating system; a kettle cover driven to rise and fall by a lifting mechanism is provided on the top side of the stirring kettle, and an exhaust port is provided on the kettle cover; a vacuum generating device is fixedly provided on the frame, and the vacuum generating device is connected to the exhaust port through a pipeline.

[0008] The preferred technical solution is: a stirring motor is fixedly provided at the bottom of the stirring kettle, and the rotating shaft of the stirring motor extends into the stirring kettle and is used to drive the stirring paddle to rotate in the stirring kettle.

[0009] The preferred technical solution is: the swing mechanism is used to drive the stirring kettle to switch between a vertical loading state and a horizontal unloading state.

[0010] The preferred technical solution is: a temperature sensor and an air pressure sensor are also arranged in the stirring tank.

[0011] The preferred technical solution is: it also includes a control device, which is simultaneously connected to the circulation heating system, the swing mechanism, the lifting mechanism, the vacuum generating device, the stirring motor, the temperature sensor and the air pressure sensor.

[0012] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The utility model provides a novel chocolate homogenizer, which realizes vacuum stirring by arranging an exhaust port on the kettle cover of the stirring kettle and connecting it to a vacuum generating device through a pipeline, thereby avoiding bubbles in the chocolate, which would cause holes to appear in the chocolate after it is cooled and affect the appearance; the stirring kettle is driven by a swing mechanism to switch between a vertical loading state and a horizontal unloading state, so as to control the unloading of the stirring kettle quickly and avoid the unloading time being too long, which would affect the taste of the chocolate due to the residual temperature of the stirring kettle.
