Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing, and more specifically, to a raw material mixing and sterilizing device for candy production. Background Art

[0002] The production process of candy is generally raw material preparation, mixing and boiling (to fully dissolve and mix the raw materials), sterilization (sterilization of the mixed syrup), mold filling (pouring the thickened syrup into the candy mold to shape it), cooling and packaging, inspection and quality control; in order to kill various pathogens in food, ensure food safety and extend the shelf life of food, it is necessary to sterilize food raw materials.

[0003] Existing raw material mixing and sterilizing devices, such as a syrup mixing and sterilizing device for candy production proposed by Chinese patent number CN214431533U, utilize a motor to drive an inner stirrer and an outer stirrer to rotate in opposite directions to stir and mix the syrup and additives entering from the feed port, which can fully improve the degree of mixing. At the same time, the syrup is filtered through a sieve to form a filament, and the syrup mixture in the filament is sterilized by an ultraviolet sterilization lamp. The syrup mixing and sterilizing device for candy production provided by the utility model has a simple structure, can achieve full mixing of the syrup and the additives while achieving a thorough sterilization rate.

[0004] However, the mixed syrup raw materials can only rely on gravity to flow out from the holes of the mesh during sterilization. Since the gelatinous syrup mixture may partially remain on the mesh when passing through the holes, this part cannot be sterilized and is easy to clog the mesh, resulting in subsequent batches of syrup mixture unable to be normally transmitted to the next process. In view of this, we propose a raw material mixing and sterilization device for candy production. Utility Model Content

[0025] See also Figure 1-3 ,This application provides a technical solution:

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the candy raw material mixing and sterilizing device includes a sterilizing box 1, and a feed port is arranged on the upper part of the sterilizing box 1 for convenient entry of candy production raw materials. The interior of the sterilizing box 1 is divided into a mixing chamber and a sterilizing chamber. A stirring shaft is rotatably connected to the interior of the mixing chamber. The middle of the mixing chamber and the sterilizing chamber are separated by a switch plate 2. A leakage net is arranged on the top of the interior of the sterilizing chamber for convenient falling of the raw material mixture. The working principle of the structure inside the sterilizing box 1 refers to the working principle of Chinese patent number CN218790268U;

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, both ends of the switch plate 2 are embedded in the inner side of the limit groove 4, the limit groove 4 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the sterilization box 1, and the middle parts of the two ends of the switch plate 2 are slidably connected to the inner side of the limit groove 4. The inner sides of the two limit grooves 4 are composed of two rectangular grooves with narrow inner sides and wide outer sides. A driving component 41 is fixedly arranged on the inner side of one of the inner rectangular grooves. The driving component 41 includes a counter-rotating screw threadedly connected to the switch plate 2 and a fixing frame slidably connected to the switch plate 2. The counter-rotating screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0028] The working process of the device is as follows: the raw materials are poured from the feed port, and the raw materials are dissolved and stirred in the mixing chamber. When the mixing is completed, the driving assembly 41 is driven by the start switch, so that the counter-rotating screw in the driving assembly 41 rotates, and the raw materials at the upper end of the box body are formed into filaments through the effect of the filter and fall down. The mixed raw materials are sterilized by the effect of the ultraviolet sterilization lamp, and the falling of the raw materials is controlled by the effect of the switch plate 2.

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the switch plate 2 is fixedly connected with a fixed block at both ends, a hole groove is opened inside the fixed block, a linkage component is arranged inside the hole groove, and the cleaning component 3 is composed of a linkage component and a cleaning component. The wider rectangular groove outside the limit groove 4 can meet the movement requirements of the linkage component of the switch plate 2 and the cleaning component 3. The linkage component includes a fixed shaft rotatably arranged in the middle of the fixed block, and gears 33 are fixedly connected at both ends of the fixed shaft.

[0030] Due to the effect of the counter-rotating screws in the threaded connection of the switch plate 2 in the drive assembly 41, a single switch plate 2 can only be Figure 3 The wider rectangular groove at the outer end of the driving assembly 41 is provided with movable grooves 42 at both ends of the upper and lower diagonals, the inner side of the movable groove 42 is slidably connected with a tooth plate 43, the outer side of the tooth plate 43 is fixedly connected with a positioning block 44, the bottom ends of the positioning block 44 and the tooth plate 43 are fixedly connected with a fixing spring, the bottom tooth plate 43 can be meshed with the gear 33, and the top tooth plate 43 can be meshed with the idler wheel 32;

[0031] The top side of the gear 33 is meshedly connected with an idler wheel 32, a fixed rod in the middle of the idler wheel 32 is rotatably connected to a fixed block, an upper baffle 31 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixed rod, and a lower baffle 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the fixed block;

[0032] When the switch plate 2 is opened, the syrup mixture flows from the sieve into the sterilization chamber, and at this time, the switch plate 2 moves to drive the cleaning component 3 to move. Before the cleaning component 3 moves to the side limit position, the lower baffle plate 34 of the cleaning component 3 first contacts the positioning block 44 and squeezes the positioning block 44. The positioning block 44 drives the tooth plate 43 to move. When the cleaning component 3 moves to the side limit position, the tooth plate 43 moves to the inside of the movable groove 42 and no longer meshes with the gear 33. Since the bottom end of the lower baffle plate 34 is set as an inclined surface, when the switch plate 2 is closed, the switch plate 2 drives the cleaning component 3 to move, and the lower baffle plate 34 in the cleaning component 3 no longer squeezes the positioning block 44. The positioning block 44 returns to its original position under the action of the fixed spring force, and the positioning block 44 drives the tooth plate 43 to move upward. At this time, the tooth plate 43 is meshed and connected with the gear 33, and with the movement of the cleaning component 3, the gear 33 meshed and connected with the tooth plate 43 can rotate clockwise;

[0033] The cleaning scraper 35 is fixedly connected to the outside of the gear 33. The cleaning scraper 35 is composed of a telescopic connecting plate and a limit spring. The limit spring is fixedly connected inside the telescopic connecting plate. The bottom end of the cleaning scraper 35 is set as an inclined plate to facilitate cleaning and scraping the surface of the screen.

[0034] The gear 33 meshing with the toothed plate 43 can rotate clockwise, and the rotation of the gear 33 can drive the cleaning scraper 35 to rotate synchronously, until the gear 33 leaves the meshing area, the cleaning scraper 35 rotates to a position perpendicular to the switch plate 2, and the cleaning scraper 35 moves along the edge of the mesh to the center of the mesh. Due to the different specifications of the mesh, some are concave and some are isosceles trapezoids. The telescopic connecting rod of the cleaning scraper 35 will continuously change under the elastic action of the limit spring to meet the needs of the mesh, and then the cleaning scraper 35 moves along the surface of the mesh, and the inclined plate at the bottom end of the cleaning scraper 35 scrapes off the excess mixture on the surface of the mesh, so that it falls into the sterilization chamber to avoid clogging the mesh.

[0035] When the two switch plates 2 are about to close and the gear 33 moves to the extreme position on the other side, the idler wheel 32 at the top of the gear 33 is first meshed and connected with the other toothed plate 43, and the idler wheel 32 is meshed and connected with the gear 33. The idler wheel 32 is meshed and connected with the toothed plate 43. The idler wheel 32 plays a role in changing the rotation direction of the passive gear to make it the same as the active gear. Therefore, the gear 33 can rotate counterclockwise at this time, and the idler wheel 32 drives the upper baffle plate 31 to move clockwise until the upper baffle plate 31 squeezes the top positioning block 44. At this time, the cleaning scraper 35 rotates vertically to a state parallel to the bottom end of the switch plate 2. At the same time, the positioning block 44 drives the toothed plate 43 to move to the inside of the movable groove 42 and no longer meshes with the idler wheel 32. Therefore, when the two switch plates 2 are closed, the cleaning component 3 also returns to its initial state;

[0036] When the two switch plates 2 are opened again, the upper baffle plate 31 still squeezes the top positioning block 44, and the idler wheel 32 is no longer meshed with the tooth plate 43. When the switch plate 2 moves, the switch plate 2 can drive the upper baffle plate 31, the idler wheel 32 and the gear 33 to move synchronously, and the three do not rotate until the gear 33 meshes with the bottom tooth plate 43. While the gear 33 rotates clockwise, it drives the idler wheel 32 to rotate counterclockwise, and restores the upper baffle plate 31 to its initial position. At this position, the idler wheel 32 can mesh with the top tooth plate 43, thereby realizing the scraping operation of the leaked net and the recovery and use operation of the cleaning components through a reciprocating motion of the switch plate 2.

[0037] Although examples of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
