Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of candied haws machines, in particular to a sugar melter and a sugar melting device for candied haws machines. Background Art

[0002] Sugar-coated haws are a traditional Chinese delicacy. The raw materials are hawthorn berries and syrup. The main method is to string hawthorn berries on bamboo sticks, then pour syrup on the hawthorn berries, and wait for the syrup to solidify before enjoying. The existing method of processing sugar-coated haws is to string hawthorn berries into strings and place them on a processing table, pour syrup on them, turn the hawthorn berries strings from time to time to ensure that the hawthorn berries are evenly coated with syrup, and then let them stand for a while. After the syrup solidifies, the sugar-coated haws are ready. Then, the processed sugar-coated haws are taken off, and new hawthorn berries are placed on them. Repeat the above operation to make the next batch of sugar-coated haws. However, the existing candied haws are usually made by hand, which is inefficient. Among the few automatic candied haws machines, some use a vertically placed bucket to hold and heat the syrup, insert the strung haws into the syrup and take it out. Since the syrup is in the heating bucket, if it is to be made at any time, the sugar will be heated and carbonized all the time. If the heating is stopped in the middle, the heating needs to be restarted for the next operation, resulting in a long waiting time for customers. Therefore, there is no better device and structure that can achieve continuous and rapid production of candied haws. Therefore, it is necessary to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 7 The first aspect of the embodiment of the utility model discloses a sugar melter for a candied haws machine, comprising a sugar melting tank 41, wherein the sugar melting tank 41 is made of metal; and a transmission rod 42, which is connected and fixed to the bottom of the sugar melting tank 41.

[0034] Sugar-coated haws are mainly made by passing a bamboo stick through a plurality of hawthorn fruits and then pouring syrup on the outer layer. In the utility model, sugar is placed in advance in the sugar melter 4, and after the sugar is heated and melted into syrup, the hawthorn fruits in a string are placed in the sugar melting tank 41, and the hawthorn fruit string is rotated for a few weeks so that the surface is evenly coated with a layer of syrup to form a preliminary sugar-coated haws, which is then taken out of the sugar melting tank 41, placed aside to stand and dry, and after the syrup solidifies, the sugar-coated haws are ready; after the sugar-coated haws are coated with syrup in the sugar melting tank 41 and taken out, the inner wall of the sugar melting tank 41 is still stained with syrup, and the transmission rod 42 is connected and fixed to the bottom of the sugar melting tank 41, and the transmission rod 42 drives the sugar melting tank 41 to rotate at a high speed, so that the remaining syrup in the sugar melting tank 41 is thrown out under the action of centrifugal force during the high-speed rotation, so as to maintain the hygiene in the sugar melting tank 41.

[0035] Furthermore, the molten sugar tank 41 is a rectangular structure, including two opposite short side walls 411 and two opposite long side walls 412 , and a notch 413 is provided above the middle of the two short side walls 411 , and the lowest point of the notch 413 is higher than the lowest point of the molten sugar tank 41 . Specifically, a notch 413 is provided at the upper middle part of the two opposite short side walls 411. On the one hand, the bamboo sticks at both ends can be accommodated when placing the candied haws, so that when the candied haws is located in the sugar melting groove 41, the hawthorn fruit can better contact the syrup at the lower inner side of the sugar melting groove 41. After rotating the hawthorn fruit string for several circles, the surface of the hawthorn fruit can be more evenly adhered to the syrup, so that the prepared candied haws not only has a uniform and beautiful appearance, but also the uniform syrup can ensure the practical taste of the candied haws; on the other hand, after the candied haws is taken out of the sugar melting groove 41, the sugar melting groove 41 needs to be rotated to throw out the remaining syrup on its inner wall. During the high-speed rotation of the sugar melting groove 41, the syrup can be thrown out through the notch 413 to reduce the syrup residue content in the sugar melting groove 41. The lowest point of the gap 413 is higher than the lowest point of the sugar melting tank 41, ensuring that the hawthorn fruit is completely in contact with the syrup in the sugar melting tank 41 while the syrup will not overflow from the gap 413, ensuring the hygiene of the production process and preparing for the next production.

[0036] Furthermore, the adjacent short side walls 411 and long side walls 412 in the sugar melting groove 41 are in an arc-shaped transition. Specifically, the inner wall of the sugar melting groove 41 is shaped like a ham sausage, and the shape of the inner wall can better fit the shape of the candied haws, so that the effect of wrapping the candied haws with syrup is better. When the syrup residue in the sugar melting groove 41 needs to be thrown out, the arc-shaped inner wall can also prevent the syrup from being retained in the corners and cracks, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0037] Specifically preferably, the inner wall of the sugar melting tank 41 can also be a wave-shaped storage tank adapted to the shape of the candied haws. Specifically, each wave-shaped inner grid can accommodate a hawthorn fruit to improve the wrapping effect of the syrup on the hawthorn fruit.

[0038] See also Figure 1-7 The second aspect of the utility model discloses a sugar melting device, including a bracket 1, a heating mechanism 2 and a driving mechanism 3, and also includes the aforementioned sugar melter 4; the driving mechanism 3 and the heating mechanism 2 are both fixed on the bracket 1, the heating mechanism 2 is located below the sugar melting tank 41, and a through hole 21 is provided in the middle of the heating mechanism 2, the transmission rod 42 passes through the through hole 21 and connects the driving mechanism 3 and the sugar melting tank 41, and the driving mechanism 3 is used to drive the transmission rod 42 to rotate.

[0039] Specifically, the bracket 1 is used to fix the positions of the driving mechanism 3 and the heating mechanism 2. The heating mechanism 2 is arranged below the molten sugar tank 41 to heat the molten sugar tank 41 and melt the sugar in the molten sugar tank 41 into syrup. A through hole 21 is arranged in the middle of the heating mechanism 2. The transmission rod 42 passes through the through hole 21 and connects the driving mechanism 3 and the molten sugar tank 41. When the sugar-coated haws are taken out of the molten sugar tank 41 and the molten sugar tank 41 needs to be rotated to throw out the syrup, the transmission rod 42 drives the molten sugar tank 41 to rotate at a high speed under the drive of the driving mechanism 3 to throw out the syrup residue. By throwing away the remaining syrup of this operation, the syrup can be quickly processed and cleaned after each operation to prevent the syrup from being heated and carbonized or repeatedly cooled and heated, and prepare for the next rapid heating.

[0040] See also Figure 4 Furthermore, a bottom plate 43 is connected to the bottom of the sugar melting tank 41, and the bottom plate 43 is used for heat conduction, that is, the heat generated by the heating mechanism 2 is conducted to the sugar melting tank 41; specifically, the heating mechanism 2 is preferably a heating coil, which will generate a turbine when it generates heat. Therefore, as a preference, the bottom plate 43 is a circular structure. When it is located above the heating coil, it can receive the heat conducted by the heating coil over a maximum area, and conduct the heat to the sugar melting tank 41 for melting the sugar material, thereby reducing the heat waste of the heating coil and improving the heating efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, the bottom plate 43 and the molten sugar tank 41 are integrally formed to improve heat conduction efficiency.

[0042] Specifically, the transmission rod 42 passes through the through hole 21 in the middle of the heating mechanism 2 and is connected to the bottom of the bottom plate 43, so that the transmission rod 42 can drive the bottom plate 43 to rotate and simultaneously drive the molten sugar tank 41 to rotate.

[0043] Furthermore, the length of the molten sugar tank 41 is consistent with the diameter of the bottom plate 43 , so that the heat generated by the heating mechanism 2 can be utilized to the maximum extent.

[0044] Furthermore, the outer sides of the long side walls 412 of the two sugar melting tanks 41 are both in an arc-shaped transition with the bottom plate 43. When the syrup in the sugar melting tank 41 is thrown out, part of it may adhere to the outer sides of the long side walls 412 and the bottom plate 43. This structure has an arc-shaped transition, so that the syrup can slide off the arc-shaped wall, avoiding the accumulation of syrup in the corners and facilitating subsequent cleaning.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] See also Figure 1-4 The driving mechanism 3 includes a first motor 31 and a first output shaft. The first output shaft is connected to and fixed to the transmission rod 42. The first motor 31 drives the transmission rod 42 to rotate, thereby driving the molten sugar tank 41 to rotate.

[0047] Specifically, a heating fixing plate 22 is provided at the bottom of the heating mechanism 2 for fixing the position of the heating mechanism 2 .

[0048] Specifically, the bracket 1 includes a first support plate 15 and a plurality of first support columns 13. The first support plate 15 is provided with a first hole. The first motor 31 is fixed under the first support plate 15. The transmission rod passes through the first hole, the heating fixing plate 22 and the through hole 21 in sequence and is plugged into the bottom of the molten sugar tank 41. The first support column 13 is provided between the heating fixing plate 22 and the first support plate 15, and is used to fix the position of the heating fixing plate 22 on the first support plate 15.

[0049] Further, the first motor 31 is a servo motor or a stepper motor. After the molten sugar tank 41 completes the work of throwing sugar, because it has experienced high-speed rotation, the position of the molten sugar tank 41 after rotation needs to be restored to its original position, so as to facilitate the subsequent repeated placement of the hawthorn string work. Therefore, a servo motor is used as the first motor 31, and the stop time of its drive or the number of rotations of the first output shaft is pre-set, so that the position where the rotating rod and the molten sugar tank 41 stop rotating can be accurately controlled to ensure that the molten sugar tank 41 eventually returns to its original position, so as to facilitate the subsequent repeated placement of the hawthorn string work. When the first motor 31 is a stepper motor, it can also be realized that the driving transmission rod 42 drives the molten sugar tank 41 to return to its original position.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] See also Figure 5-7 Further, the driving mechanism 3 includes a second motor 32, a driving wheel 33 and a driven wheel 34. The second motor 32 is provided with a second output shaft 35. The driving wheel 33 is fixed on the second output shaft 35. The driven wheel 34 is fixed on the transmission rod 42. The driving wheel 33 and the driven wheel 34 are transmitted through a conveyor belt 36. During operation, the second motor 32 drives the second output shaft 35 to drive the driving wheel 33 to rotate. The driving wheel 33 drives the conveyor belt 36 to drive the driven wheel 34 to rotate. The transmission rod 42 is fixed on the driven wheel 34. The driven wheel 34 rotates to drive the transmission rod 42 to rotate, and then drives the molten sugar tank 41 to rotate, completing the sugar throwing work.

[0052] Specifically, a heating fixing plate 22 is provided at the bottom of the heating mechanism 2 for fixing the position of the heating mechanism 2 .

[0053] Furthermore, the bracket 1 includes an upper fixing plate 11 and a lower fixing plate 12, the heating mechanism 2 is fixed on the upper fixing plate 11, and an upper bearing 111 and a lower bearing 121 are symmetrically arranged in the upper fixing plate 11 and the lower fixing plate 12, respectively, and the transmission rod 42 is fixed in the upper bearing 111 and the lower bearing 121.

[0054] Furthermore, the second motor 32 is fixed below the lower fixed plate 12, and the driving wheel 33, the driven wheel 34 and the transmission belt are all arranged above the lower fixed plate 12; a second hole is provided on the lower fixed plate 12, and the second output shaft passes through the second hole and is connected to the inner side of the driving wheel 33, so as to drive the driving wheel 33 to rotate; specifically, a plurality of reinforcing plates 14 are fixedly connected between the upper fixed plate 11 and the lower fixed plate 12, and the driven wheel 34 is arranged between the upper fixed plate 11 and the lower fixed plate 12, and the transmission rod 42 passes through the upper bearing 111 in the upper fixed plate 11, the inner side of the driven wheel 34, and the lower bearing 121 in the lower fixed plate 12 from top to bottom, and is fixed to the bracket 1 in this structural manner, so that when the driven wheel 34 drives the transmission rod 42 to rotate, the transmission rod 42 is still fixed in the bracket 1 and will not fall over.

[0055] Further, the second motor 32 is a servo motor or a stepper motor. After the molten sugar tank 41 completes the work of throwing sugar, because it has experienced high-speed rotation, the position of the molten sugar tank 41 after rotation needs to be restored to its original position, so as to facilitate the subsequent repeated placement of the hawthorn string work, therefore, a servo motor is used as the second motor 32, and the stop time of its drive or the number of rotations of the second output shaft 35 is pre-set, so that the transmission of the driving wheel 33, the conveyor belt 36, and the driven wheel 34 and the rotation angle of the transmission rod 42 can be controlled, and then the position where the molten sugar tank 41 stops rotating is accurately controlled, ensuring that the molten sugar tank 41 is finally turned back to its original position, so as to facilitate the subsequent repeated placement of the hawthorn string work. When the second motor 32 is a stepper motor, it is also possible to realize driving the transmission rod 42 to drive the molten sugar tank 41 to turn back to its original position.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
