Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of candy production, in particular to a drying device used for candy production. Background Art

[0002] After the candy is initially formed, such as by pressing or extrusion, a belt conveyor is usually used to transport the wet candy to a drying box for drying. The belt conveyor usually runs horizontally through the interior of the drying box, transporting the candy through the drying box, where it is heated by the hot air inside the drying box to achieve the drying effect.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN218921506U proposes an automatic drying device for candy production. From the disclosed content, it can be seen that the automatic drying device mainly includes a support conveyor frame and a drying box. The left and right ends of the drying box are both provided with openings. One end of the support conveyor frame crosses the drying box from the opening. The bottom of the drying box is installed with a pillar. The right end of the support conveyor frame is provided with an active conveying roller. The left end of the support conveyor frame is provided with a driven conveying roller. The front end of the active conveying roller is connected to a driven wheel. The driven conveying roller is connected to the active conveying roller through a conveyor belt. The driven wheel is connected to the active wheel at the lower left through a belt. It can be seen that the above-mentioned automatic drying device mainly realizes the rectangular array-type hot air blowing by setting a plurality of air cylinders, fans and dustproof nets, which can improve the drying effect of the candy.

[0004] However, when the above-mentioned automatic drying device is used to dry candies, since only one side of the candies (the side facing upward) is always in contact with the hot air, the other side of the candies (the side in contact with the conveyor belt) is difficult to be heated well, thereby making it difficult to achieve the expected drying effect, or the heating process is relatively slow and takes a long time, thereby affecting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects and shortcomings of the prior art and to provide a drying device for candy production, which can ensure that both sides of the candy can maintain sufficient contact with hot air to improve the drying effect, save time and improve production efficiency.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A drying device for candy production, comprising a drying box and a belt conveyor mechanism that transversely penetrates the drying box and is used to transport candies, characterized in that: the belt conveyor mechanism comprises a first conveyor belt and a second conveyor belt that are arranged in a staggered manner, the first conveyor belt is higher than the second conveyor belt, a turning component is provided between the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, the turning component comprises a first rotating shaft rotatably installed between two side frames of the belt conveyor mechanism, a plurality of receiving plates that extend radially and are distributed circumferentially are fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft around the periphery, the plurality of receiving plates rotate with the first rotating shaft, and are used to receive the candies discharged from the discharging end of the first conveyor belt, and after turning the candies over, transfer them to the feeding end of the second conveyor belt.

[0008] Furthermore, a first motor is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of a frame on one side of the belt conveyor mechanism, and is used to drive the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt to operate.

[0009] Furthermore, the driving rollers of the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt are connected to each other through a first transmission assembly, and the output end of the first motor is axially connected to one end of the driving roller of the first conveyor belt.

[0010] Furthermore, a material-moving component is provided above the feed end of the second conveyor belt, and the material-moving component includes a second rotating shaft rotatably installed between the two side frames of the belt conveyor mechanism, and the second rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a material-moving rake extending along its length direction, and the second rotating shaft is transmission-connected to the first rotating shaft through a linkage component.

[0011] Furthermore, the linkage component includes a third rotating shaft, two meshing gears and a second transmission assembly. The third rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the outer side wall of the frame on the other side of the belt conveyor mechanism. The two gears are respectively fixedly mounted on one end of the second rotating shaft and the third rotating shaft. The third rotating shaft is transmission-connected to the first rotating shaft through the second transmission assembly.

[0012] Furthermore, a second motor is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the frame on the other side of the belt conveyor mechanism, and an output end of the second motor is axially connected to one end of the first rotating shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, the inner walls of the frames on both sides of the belt conveyor mechanism are fixedly connected with guide plates at the discharge end of the first conveyor belt.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. The utility model divides the belt conveyor mechanism into two independent conveyor belts, one high and one low, and provides a turning component between the two conveyor belts. During the candy drying process, the turning component can receive the candy discharged from the discharge end of one conveyor belt, turn the candy over, and transfer it to the feed end of the other conveyor belt, so that both sides of the candy can keep full contact with the hot air, thereby improving the drying effect, saving time, and improving production efficiency.

[0016] 2. The utility model provides a material shifting component linked with the material turning component, so that after the candies are turned over, the candies can be evenly dispersed without aggregation and mutual adhesion, thereby further improving the uniformity of heating of the candies and ensuring the drying effect.

[0020] 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 in 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.

[0021] See also Figure 1-3 A drying device for candy production, comprising a drying box 1 and a belt conveyor mechanism 2 that transversely penetrates the drying box 1, and is used to convey candies. The belt conveyor mechanism 2 comprises a first conveyor belt 3 and a second conveyor belt 4 that are arranged in a staggered manner. The first conveyor belt 3 is higher than the second conveyor belt 4. A turning component 5 is provided between the first conveyor belt 3 and the second conveyor belt 4. The turning component 5 comprises a first rotating shaft 6 that is rotatably installed between the frames on both sides of the belt conveyor mechanism 2. Six receiving plates 7 that extend radially and are distributed circumferentially are fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 6. The six receiving plates 7 rotate with the first rotating shaft 6, and are used to receive the candies discharged from the discharging end of the first conveyor belt 3, and after turning the candies over, transfer them to the feeding end of the second conveyor belt 4.

[0022] In the utility model, a first motor 8 is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of a frame on one side of the belt conveyor mechanism 2, and is used to drive the first conveyor belt 3 and the second conveyor belt 4 to operate.

[0023] Specifically, the driving rollers of the first conveyor belt 3 and the second conveyor belt 4 are connected to each other through a first transmission assembly (pulley and belt) 9, and the output end of the first motor 8 is axially connected to one end of the driving roller of the first conveyor belt 3.

[0024] Thus, the driving roller of the first conveyor belt 3 is driven to rotate by the first motor 8, and the driving roller of the second conveyor belt 4 is driven to rotate by the first transmission assembly 9, so that the first conveyor belt 3 and the second conveyor belt 4 are driven to run at the same time, thereby realizing the conveyance of candies.

[0025] In the utility model, a material-discharging component 10 is provided above the feed end of the second conveyor belt 4. The material-discharging component 10 includes a second rotating shaft 11 rotatably installed between the two side frames of the belt conveyor mechanism 2. A material-discharging rake 12 extending along its length direction is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 11. The second rotating shaft 11 is transmission-connected to the first rotating shaft 6 through a linkage component 13, so as to realize the linkage between the material-turning component 5 and the material-discharging component 10.

[0026] Specifically, the linkage component 13 includes a third rotating shaft 14, two meshing gears 15 and a second transmission assembly (pulley and belt) 16. The third rotating shaft 14 is rotatably mounted on the outer side wall of the frame on the other side of the belt conveyor mechanism 2. The two gears 15 are respectively fixedly mounted on one end of the second rotating shaft 11 and the third rotating shaft 14. The third rotating shaft 14 is transmission-connected to the first rotating shaft 6 through the second transmission assembly 16.

[0027] In the present invention, a second motor 17 is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the frame on the other side of the belt conveyor mechanism 2 , and an output end of the second motor 17 is axially connected to one end of the first rotating shaft 14 .

[0028] Thus, the first rotating shaft 14 is driven to rotate by the second motor 17, thereby driving the six receiving plates 7 to rotate, transferring the candies between the first conveyor belt 3 and the second conveyor belt 4, and turning the candies over; at the same time, the first rotating shaft 14 drives the third rotating shaft 14 to rotate through the second transmission assembly 16, and then drives the second rotating shaft 11 to rotate through the two gears 15, thereby driving the material rake 12 to rotate, and evenly dispersing the turned candies.

[0029] In the utility model, the inner walls of the two side frames of the belt conveyor mechanism 2 are fixedly connected with guide plates 18 at the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 3, which play a guiding role, thereby facilitating the candies discharged from the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 3 to fall onto the corresponding receiving plates 7.

[0030] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0031] When in use, the first motor 8 and the second motor 17 are started first to drive the first conveyor belt 3 and the second conveyor belt 4, as well as the material turning component 5 and the material shifting component 10 to operate respectively.

[0032] The candies formed by pressing or extrusion are conveyed to the drying box 1 by the first conveyor belt 3 through the feeding end of the drying box 1, with one side facing upwards, in contact with the hot air entering the drying box 1, and dried.

[0033] When the candy is conveyed to the discharge end of the first conveyor belt 3, the candy falls to the bottom along a receiving plate 7 that rotates there. As the receiving plate continues to rotate, the candy is forced to turn over so that its other side faces upward and moves to a receiving plate 7 in front, and then is transferred to the feed end of the second conveyor belt 4 by the receiving plate.

[0034] When the turned over candies move to the feeding end of the second conveyor belt 4, the rotating downward material rake 12 evenly disperses the candies so that the candies will not aggregate and stick to each other.

[0035] Thereafter, the turned candies are conveyed forward by the second conveyor belt 4, with the other side facing upward, and kept in contact with the hot air entering the drying box 1 to be dried.

[0036] Finally, the dried candies are conveyed out of the drying box 1 via the second conveyor belt 4 through the discharge end.

[0037] Although this specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode includes only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0038] Therefore, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the present application; that is, all equivalent changes made according to the scope of the claims of the present application are within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
