Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Gel candy is a soft gelatinous sugar block with high water content and soft texture, which is made of one or more hydrophilic gels, white sugar and starch syrup as main ingredients. After heating and dissolving to a certain concentration, it forms a gelatinous sugar block with high water content and soft texture under certain conditions. The water content is usually 10% to 20%. Due to the different types, characteristics and usage ratios of the selected edible colloids, the characteristics of the final produced sugar are also quite different. Starch soft candy has a tight and sticky texture, gelatin soft candy is thick, tough and elastic, and agar and carrageenan type gel candy is smooth and crisp.

[0003] The dried molded soft candy contains a lot of water, which has a great influence on the taste of the soft candy. The water content of gel candy is too high. It is easy to mold in an unfavorable environment with high temperature and humidity. It needs to be dried to remove some of the water. At present, the candy on the market is dried by gravity rolling or conveyor. When gravity rolling, it is impossible to control the falling speed of the candy, which can easily cause the candy to fall to the discharge port. The candy is not dried when it falls to the discharge port. When conveyed by the conveyor belt, the candy mostly stays in place, and it is impossible to ensure that the surface of the candy is evenly dried. The candy becomes partially moist or uneven during the drying process, and the quality and taste of the candy cannot be guaranteed. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.

[0025] See also Figure 1-6 The utility model provides a technical solution: a gel candy drying device, comprising: a drying rack 1 is a right-angled triangular cavity with an inclined surface structure on the top; a hollow roller shaft 9 is rotatably arranged on the inclined surface structure of the drying rack 1, and air holes are equidistantly arranged on the outer side of the hollow roller shaft 9, which are used to drive the candy to turn over and dry in situ; a baffle plate 8 can be rotatably installed on the top of the drying rack 1, and the baffle plate 8 is located below the hollow roller shaft 9, which is used to block the candy on the outer side of the hollow roller shaft 9; a feed hopper 3 is fixedly installed at the end of the drying rack 1, and a discharge port 4 is provided on one side of the feed hopper 3, and the discharge port 4 is located above the drying rack 1, and a loading plate 2 is arranged inside the feed hopper 3 in a liftable manner.

[0026] The candies are placed on the top of the drying rack 1 and the candies are blown out of the drying rack 1. The candies are then blown out of the drying rack 1 and the candies are then blown out of the drying rack 1.

[0027] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a linear module 7 is fixedly connected to the interior of the drying rack 1, a movable slide of the linear module 7 is fixedly connected to the loading plate 2, a slide groove for the movable slide to move is provided at the end of the drying rack 1, the top of the loading plate 2 is provided with the same inclined surface structure as the drying rack 1, a plurality of through holes are equidistantly provided on the top of the drying rack 1, and a fan is installed inside the loading plate 2.

[0028] It should be noted that the linear module 7 of the utility model drives the loading plate 2 to move upward, and the top of the loading plate 2 and the inner wall of the feed hopper 3 form an inclined groove, so that the candy is lifted up by the action of the inclined groove. During this period, there is wind inside the loading plate 2 to air-dry the candy. When the bottom of the inclined groove is flush with the bottom of the discharge port 4, the candy passes through the discharge port 4 under the action of gravity to the top of the drying rack 1 for subsequent air drying.

[0029] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a plurality of No. 1 air outlet holes 5 are equidistantly arranged on the top of the drying rack 1, a bellows 6 is arranged at the bottom of the No. 1 air outlet hole 5, and the bellows 6 is connected to an external wind source. A mounting groove 17 is provided on the top of the drying rack 1, and a hollow roller shaft 9 is rotatably mounted inside the mounting groove 17. A rotary joint 12 is installed at one end of the hollow roller shaft 9, and the rotary joint 12 is connected to the wind source.

[0030] It should be noted that the utility model filters and cleans the wind from the wind source and connects it to the bellows 6 and the rotary joint 12 respectively, so that the candy can be dried when rolling on the top of the drying rack 1, and the hollow roller 9 can also turn the candy over and dry it when the baffle plate 8 blocks it.

[0031] like Figure 3 , 4As shown in Figures 5 and 6, a bracket 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the drying rack 1, a motor 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bracket 10, an electric push rod 13 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the drying rack 1, a driving rack 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 13, a limiting ring 16 slidably connected to the driving rack 14 is installed on one side of the drying rack 1, and the driving rack 14 is meshed with the driving gear 15.

[0032] It should be noted that, in the utility model, two adjacent hollow roller shafts 9 are connected by belt transmission. When it is necessary to block the candies, the electric push rod 13 drives the driving rack 14 to move upward, and the driving rack 14 drives the driving gear 15 to rotate. The driving gear 15 drives the baffle plate 8 to flip to a position perpendicular to the drying rack 1, so as to block the candies, so that the candies stay above the hollow roller shaft 9. When it is necessary to roll the candies to the bottom, the electric push rod 13 drives the driving rack 14 to retract, and rotates the baffle plate 8 to a position that fits the drying rack 1. The top of the drying rack 1 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the baffle plate 8. When the baffle plate 8 fits with the drying rack 1, the baffle plate 8 is embedded in the drying rack 1, so that the top of the drying rack 1 will not block the candies.
