Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of chocolate demoulding, and specifically relates to a chocolate demoulding device. Background Art

[0002] Chocolate is a sweet food made from cocoa pulp and cocoa butter as the main ingredients. It has a rich aroma and delicate taste. In the chocolate production process, demoulding is a crucial link. The traditional chocolate demoulding process often relies on manual operation, such as workers turning the mold upside down and knocking on the back of the mold to make the molded chocolate fall off, thereby achieving demoulding. However, this demoulding method is not only inefficient, but may also affect the quality and production efficiency of chocolate. Therefore, with the advancement of technology and the expansion of chocolate production scale, it is particularly important to develop an automatic, efficient and quality-guaranteed demoulding device for chocolate.

[0004] However, the common chocolate demoulding device in this application may cause the chocolates to collide with each other if the operator does not operate it properly during the movement, thereby damaging the chocolates. After the chocolates are demoulded, the chocolates may be damaged or dropped when they are manually picked up and collected. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present application is to provide a chocolate demoulding device to solve the problem that if the operator improperly operates the chocolate demoulding device during the movement, the chocolates may collide with each other, thereby causing damage to the chocolates. After the chocolates are demoulded, the chocolates may be damaged or dropped when they are manually picked up and collected.

[0006] The technical solutions adopted in this application are as follows:

[0007] A chocolate demoulding device comprises a mold support and a baffle screw, a mold is placed on the upper end surface of the mold support, a slide groove is opened on the upper side surface of the mold, a chocolate pushing device is slidably connected to the outer surface of the slide groove, a chocolate pushing device handle is fixedly connected to the right end of the chocolate pushing device, a rotating shaft fixing plate is fixedly connected to the left end of the mold, a rotating shaft fixing shaft is welded to the inner side of the rotating shaft fixing plate, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the outer ring surface of the rotating shaft fixing shaft, a rotating shaft is rollingly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft with a rotating shaft sleeve, a chocolate placing area is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft sleeve, a chocolate anti-drop baffle is bonded to the upper end surface of the chocolate placing area.

After the production is completed, the cover plate is opened from bottom to top, and the chocolate is pushed upward from the lower mold cavity through the program of the demoulding device. The operator slides the chocolate pusher handle from left to right from the slide slot to take out the chocolate pusher, and moves the demolded chocolate from right to left through the chocolate pusher to the chocolate placement area in order until all the chocolate is moved.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a cooling pipe valve is fixedly connected to one end of the right side of the mold, and a cooling pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the cooling pipe valve.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the use of the cooling tube enables the chocolate to reach the hardness required for demoulding more quickly, thereby improving the demoulding efficiency.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the cover plate can effectively protect the mold and other key components inside the device from external pollution, dust and impurities. The existence of the cover plate helps to maintain the temperature stability in the mold and minimize heat loss or external heat intrusion. This helps to ensure the uniformity and quality stability of chocolate during the solidification process.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, a rotating shaft screw is threadedly connected to the surface of the rotating sleeve.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and adjusting the tightness of the rotating shaft screw, it can be ensured that the rotating shaft is fixed in the correct position, thereby maintaining the stability and accuracy of the entire device.

[0023] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0024] In the present application, when the operator is in use, he needs to first rotate the rotating shaft screw counterclockwise to adjust the chocolate placement area to a position parallel to the mold bracket through the rotation of the rotating shaft, and then rotate the rotating shaft screw clockwise to relatively fix the chocolate placement area at the corresponding position, and then rotate the baffle screw counterclockwise to slide the baffle inner plate inside the baffle upward through the baffle handle to take it out to the corresponding position, and then rotate the baffle screw clockwise to fix the baffle inner plate in its position accordingly, and press the controller switch button to start the controller. The operator injects the prepared cocoa paste and cocoa butter into a liquid that is integrated into a plurality of lower mold cavities opened on the surface of the mold through a container, and covers the mold with the cover plate through the cover plate handle. After the production is completed, the cover plate is opened from bottom to top, and the chocolate is pushed upward from the lower mold cavity through the procedure of the demoulding device. The operator slides the chocolate pusher handle from left to right from the slide slot to take out the chocolate pusher, and moves the demolded chocolate from right to left through the chocolate pusher to the chocolate placement area until all the chocolate is moved.
