Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a pouring device for sandwich candies. Background Art

[0002] The pouring device in the traditional equipment for processing sandwich candies usually includes an outer tube and a core tube; the outer tube is sleeved outside the core tube, the outer tube and the core tube define a first pouring channel, and the tube hole of the core tube defines a second pouring channel, so that the first pouring channel surrounds the second pouring channel, and the first pouring channel and the second pouring channel extrude two kinds of sugar materials through the lower port respectively, so that the sugar materials enter the mold, so that the sugar material extruded from the second pouring channel forms the sugar core of the sandwich candy, and the sugar material extruded from the first pouring channel is coated on the outside of the sugar core to form a sugar surface.

[0003] In order to prevent the candy core from being exposed at the ends of the upper and lower directions of the mold, in the prior art, a solenoid valve is usually arranged on the supply pipeline, and the solenoid valve is used to control the order in which the supply pipeline supplies sugar to the two pouring channels. Specifically, when pouring starts, the sugar in the first pouring channel is first injected into the mold, and then the sugar in the second pouring channel is injected into the mold synchronously with the sugar in the first pouring channel. Finally, the sugar in the second pouring channel is stopped from being injected into the mold, and then the sugar in the first pouring channel is stopped from being injected into the mold, thereby improving the defect of the candy core being exposed.

[0004] However, using an electromagnetic valve to control the pouring channel to inject sugar into the mold by controlling the on-off of the feed pipeline has the defect of delayed feed, resulting in the sugar surface thickness of the sandwich candy being too large or the sugar core being exposed at both ends of the mold in the upper and lower directions.

[0028] In order to keep the following description of the embodiments of the present invention clear and concise, the present invention omits detailed descriptions of known functions and known components.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiment of the utility model discloses a pouring device for a sandwich candy, and the pouring device comprises: an outer tube 10 and a core tube 20.

[0030] The outer tube 10 is sleeved on the outside of the core tube 20; the core tube 20 includes a first tube segment 21 and a second tube segment 22, both of which can move axially relative to the outer tube 10, and the first tube segment 21 is docked with the second tube segment 22, and the first tube segment 21 is located below the second tube segment 22. The specific docking method is: the lower end of the second tube segment 22 is inserted into the upper end of the first tube segment 21, and the second tube segment 22 can move axially relative to the first tube segment 21, and the axial movement of the second tube segment 22 is limited by a third limiting platform 212 formed in the first tube segment 21, and a retaining ring is installed in the first tube segment 21 to limit the lower end of the second tube segment 22 from escaping from the upper end of the first tube segment 21.

[0031] An end cap 24 is formed at the lower end of the first pipe section 21, and the end cap 24 has a step 241 located at the upper end and a tapered outer peripheral surface; an annular first pouring channel 11 is defined between the first pipe section 21 and the outer tube 10, and a horizontally placed first feed joint 41 is attached to the lower part of the outer tube 10, and the first feed joint 41 is connected to the first pouring channel 11 for providing the first sugar material to the first pouring channel 11; a receiving groove 12 is formed at the lower end of the outer tube 10, and the end cap 24 enters the receiving groove 12 by moving upward with the core tube 20 and abuts against the bottom of the receiving groove 12 through the step 241 to close the first pouring channel 11, and opens the lower end of the first pouring channel 11 by moving downward. After the lower end of the first pouring channel 11 is opened, the first sugar material flows out from the lower end and is injected into the mold.

[0032] A spring 30 is arranged between the first tube section 21 and the second tube section 22, and the spring 30 is in a compressed state, so that the first tube section 21 can move synchronously with the second tube section 22; an upward first limit platform 13 is formed in the outer tube 10, and a downward second limit platform 211 is formed on the first tube section 21. The first limit platform 13 is used to limit the downward position of the second tube section 22 of the core tube 20 by stopping the second limit platform 211.

[0033] The core tube 20 has an axially extending second pouring channel 23, which extends downward and passes through the end surface of the end head 24. The second pouring channel 23 extends upward to the middle of the second pipe section 22. A transversely extending valve port 231 is formed at the upper end of the second pouring channel 23, and the valve port 231 passes through the outer peripheral surface of the second pipe section 22.

[0034] A second feed connector 42 is attached to the upper portion of the outer tube 10 , and the second feed connector 42 is used to supply the second sugar material to the second pouring channel 23 so that the second sugar material flows out from the middle portion of the end head 24 through the second pouring channel 23 and is injected into the mold.

[0035] The driver (not shown) for driving the core tube 20 is located above the core tube 20. The driver can be a telescopic cylinder, such as an oil cylinder, which is connected to the upper end of the second pipe section 22 of the core tube 20 and can drive the core tube 20 to move axially up and down.

[0036] The following is an introduction to the use of the pouring device.

[0037] Before injecting sugar into the mold, Figure 1 As shown, the driver places the core tube 20 in a high position, at which time the end head 24 retracts into the receiving groove 12 of the first pouring channel 11 and closes the lower port of the first pouring channel 11, and the valve port 231 on the second pipe section 22 is located above the inner port of the second feed connector 42 and closes the second feed connector 42.

[0038] When you need to pour the bonbon:

[0039] First, the driver drives the core tube 20 downward, the first tube section 21 and the second tube section 22 of the core tube 20 move downward synchronously, the end head 24 moves downward to open the lower port of the first pouring runner 11, and when the first limit platform 13 stops the second limit platform 211, the driver is subjected to feedback force and stops driving the core tube 20 downward. Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the core tube 20 switches to the middle position, and the first sugar material is injected into the mold from the lower port of the first pouring flow channel 11; then, the driver continues to drive the core tube 20 to move downward, at this time, the first tube section 21 is limited and stops moving downward, and the second tube section 22 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 30 and continues to move downward. When the lower end of the second tube section 22 is stopped by the third limit platform 212, the driver is subjected to feedback force and stops driving the core tube 20 to move downward, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the core tube 20 switches to the low position, the valve port 231 is connected with the inner port of the second feed connector 42, and the second sugar flows out from the end 24 and is injected into the mold synchronously with the first sugar; when the mold is about to be filled with sugar, the driver drives the core tube 20 to move up and reset to the middle position. At this time, the valve port 231 is closed, the second pouring channel 23 stops injecting the second sugar into the mold, and the first syrup continues to inject the second sugar into the mold for capping the end mold of the candy. Finally, the driver drives the core tube 20 to move up and close the second pouring channel 23. When the core tube 20 moves from the low position to the high position, the variable volume 232 defined between the third limit platform 212 and the lower end of the second pipe section 22 increases, thereby forming a negative pressure adsorption effect on the second sugar, so that the second sugar at the lower end of the second pouring channel 23 moves up immediately to prevent part of the sugar from dripping into the mold.

[0040] The advantages of the pouring device provided by the utility model are:

[0041] The opening and closing of the two pouring channels are directly controlled by the relative movement of the core tube 20 and the outer tube 10, so that the hysteresis of the control of the injection of the sugar material can be effectively reduced.
