Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a device for coating the surface of food with sugar. Background Art

[0002] Covering the surface of food with syrup can improve the taste of the food and the taste of the eater. For example, covering the surface of a food bar or a protein bar with syrup or other slurry materials, or covering the surface of a soft cake with syrup. The traditional sugar coating equipment and process are as follows: a discharge port is provided at the bottom of the shell to draw out the syrup, and the lower end of the jet pipe is inserted into the discharge port. The lower end of the jet pipe ejects an airflow to push the syrup at the discharge port downward to cover the surface of the food below the discharge port, thereby achieving sugar coating. However, the cross-section of the discharge port of the traditional sugar coating equipment cannot be adjusted, so that the thickness of the sugar coating cannot be adjusted or the thickness of the sugar coating needs to be adjusted by adjusting the pressure of the syrup or the flow rate of the airflow.

[0003] In order to adjust the thickness of the sugar coating, in the prior art, the lower end of the jet pipe is configured as a conical structure, and the jet pipe can be adjusted axially. By adjusting the axial position of the jet pipe, the annular cross-section between the conical structure and the cavity wall of the discharge port is changed, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the syrup flowing out of the discharge port, and then adjusting the thickness of the sugar coating. However, since the jet pipe is a slender tube, adjusting the jet pipe may affect the concentricity of the lower end of the jet pipe and the discharge port, which may cause uneven sugar coating thickness.

The syrup in the accommodating cavity flows out through the annular gap and is sprayed onto the surface of the food by the airflow ejected from the lower end of the jet pipe as a power.

[0030] In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present invention clear and concise, the present invention omits detailed descriptions of known functions and known components.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the utility model discloses a food sugar coating device, which includes: a housing 10 , an air injection pipe 30 , a valve seat 40 , a feed pipe 50 and a screw sleeve 60 .

[0032] The housing 10 is formed by buckling an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12, and a receiving chamber 15 is defined between the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12. The top of the upper housing 11 serves as the top wall 13 of the housing 10, and the bottom of the lower housing 12 serves as the bottom wall 14 of the housing 10. A circular hole-shaped discharge port 20 is provided in the middle of the bottom wall 14 of the housing 10, and a slope 16 inclined toward the discharge port 20 is processed at the bottom of the receiving chamber 15 so that the syrup at the bottom of the receiving chamber 15 can always flow to the discharge port 20.

[0033] A feed pipe 50 is passed through the side of the top wall 13 of the shell 10, and the lower end of the feed pipe 50 extends into the accommodating chamber 15. The lower end of the feed pipe 50 is formed as a feed port 51. The syrup can enter the accommodating chamber 15 from the upper end of the feed pipe 50 through the feed port 51, and the syrup entering the accommodating chamber 15 flows out through the discharge port 20.

[0034] A positioning seat 17 is installed in the middle of the top wall 13 of the housing 10. The air jet 30 passes through the positioning seat 17 and the accommodating cavity 15 from the top of the housing 10. The lower end of the air jet 30 extends into the middle of the discharge port 20. The positioning seat 17 fixes the air jet 30 and ensures that the lower end of the air jet 30 is concentric with the discharge port 20. The airflow enters the air jet 30 from the upper end and flows out from the lower end of the air jet 30 to act on the syrup at the discharge port 20 so that the syrup flows out from the discharge port 20 and scatters on the surface of the food to coat the food with sugar.

[0035] The valve seat 40 is sleeved on the lower part of the air injection pipe 30 and forms a threaded fit with the air injection pipe 30, so that the axial position of the valve seat 40 can be adjusted by screwing the valve seat 40. Preferably, an operating portion is arranged at the bottom of the valve seat 40 for a screwing tool to screw the valve seat 40. The side wall of the valve seat 40 is formed with a conical surface 41, and the conical surface 41 and the upper end of the discharge port 20 define an annular gap 21. Due to the definition of the conical surface 41, the size of the annular gap 21 can be adjusted by screwing the valve seat 40, so that the flow rate of the syrup passing through the discharge port 20 can be adjusted.

[0036] The screw sleeve 60 is located at the lower end of the valve seat 40. The screw sleeve 60 is sleeved on the jet pipe 30 and forms a threaded fit with the jet pipe 30, so that the valve seat 40 can be axially positioned by tightening the screw sleeve 60. The bottom of the screw sleeve 60 has an integrally formed cone sleeve 61, and a plurality of jet holes 62 are provided on the sleeve wall of the cone sleeve 61. The jet holes 62 have a certain inclination angle with the axis, that is, the jet holes 62 are inclined, and the airflow in the jet pipe 30 is sprayed in an umbrella shape through the jet holes 62, thereby increasing the coverage of the syrup. Preferably, the lower end of the discharge port 20 is a bell mouth structure 22, so as to adapt to the jet holes 62 and increase the coverage of the syrup.

[0037] When it is necessary to increase the sugar coating thickness on the food surface, the valve seat 40 is rotated to move the valve seat 40 upward, thereby increasing the annular gap 21 defined by the valve seat 40 and the discharge port 20, increasing the flow rate of the syrup, and thus increasing the sugar coating thickness; when it is necessary to reduce the sugar coating thickness on the food surface, the valve seat 40 is rotated to move the valve seat 40 downward, thereby reducing the annular gap 21, reducing the flow rate of the syrup, and thus reducing the sugar coating thickness.

[0038] The advantages of the food sugar coating device provided by the utility model are:

[0039] The food sugar coating device provided by the utility model adjusts the flow of syrup through the valve seat 40 with the conical surface 41 instead of adjusting the flow of syrup through the air jet pipe 30, thereby avoiding the eccentricity of the air jet pipe 30 to a certain extent, and the adjustment operation is simple.
