DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The specific implementation of the utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] See also Figure 1-7 , the utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] A refrigeration device for producing microcapsule essence, comprising:

[0030] A freezer box 1, wherein at least three mounting grooves 11 are provided on the inner wall of the side of the freezer box 1, a cooling device is provided inside the freezer box 1, and a cold air port 12 is provided on the inner wall of the freezer box 1 above each mounting groove 11, for discharging cold air generated by the cooling device into the inner space of the freezer box 1;

[0031] The tray 3 is arranged in the inner wall of the mounting groove 11 and is used for storing the flavor particles;

[0032] The paving mechanism 2 is arranged on the inner wall opposite to the door of the box freezer 1. The paving mechanism 2 includes a displacement frame 21 and a stepping motor 23. A rack 22 is arranged at the bottom of the displacement frame 21. A gear 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the stepping motor 23. The outer edge of the gear 24 is meshed with the lower surface of the rack 22. A sweeping rod 25 is arranged on one side of the displacement frame 21.

[0033] The adjusting mechanism 4 is arranged in the inner cavity of the cold air outlet 12. The adjusting mechanism 4 includes an upper baffle 41 and a lower baffle 42. The upper baffle 41 and the lower baffle 42 are movably connected in the inner wall of the cold air outlet 12. Driving devices 43 are arranged on both sides of the upper baffle 41. The driving device 43 is used to adjust the distance between the upper baffle 41 and the lower baffle 42.

[0034] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The bottom of the sweep rod 25 is movably connected to a spreading rod 251. The bottom of the sweep rod 25 is located on both sides of the spreading rod 251 and is provided with a plurality of infrared sensors 252 for detecting the height of the flavor particles in the inner cavity of the tray 3. The interior of the sweep rod 25 is provided with a cylinder 253 for adjusting the height of the spreading rod 251. In this embodiment, the height of the flavor particles in the inner cavity of the tray 3 is detected by the infrared sensor 252, and the spreading rod 251 is driven up and down by the cylinder 253. After adjusting it to a suitable height, the sweep rod 25 is ensured to evenly spread the flavor particles in the inner cavity of the tray 3 when it is repeatedly translated.

[0035] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 6-7The driving device 43 includes a sprocket 431, one side of the sprocket 431 is connected to a second gear 432 through a connecting shaft, and a second rack 433 and a third rack 434 are respectively provided on both sides of the second gear 432, one end of the second rack 433 is connected to the upper baffle 41, and one end of the third rack 434 is connected to the lower baffle 42 through a connecting seat 435, and the corresponding surfaces of the third rack 434 and the second rack 433 are meshed with the outer edge of the second gear 432. In this embodiment, by controlling the rotation of the second gear 432, the second rack 433 and the third rack 434 can be made to move relative to each other, so that the second rack 433 and the third rack 434 can control the distance between the upper baffle 41 and the lower baffle 42, thereby adjusting the cold air outlet at the cold air outlet 12.

[0036] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The freezer 1 is divided into a plurality of independent cooling layers by a plurality of trays 3. A heat insulating plate is provided inside each tray 3 to effectively isolate the flow of cold air between the cooling layers, thereby preventing the temperatures between the cooling layers from affecting each other. The tray 3 is detachably connected to the mounting slot 11. In this embodiment, the temperature in each tray 3 can be kept stable. When freezing different flavor raw materials, the amount of cold air released in different trays 3 is different, avoiding the mutual influence of cold air and keeping the temperature in each cooling layer stable. At the same time, the tray 3 can be added or reduced according to the number and type of flavor raw materials to be processed.

[0037] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 2-3 One side of the displacement frame 21 is provided with fixing grooves 211 having the same number as the mounting grooves 11, and the sweeping rod 25 can be installed on one side of the displacement frame 21 through the fixing grooves 211. In this embodiment, after a tray 3 is added to the inner cavity of the freezer 1, a sweeping rod 25 can be added to one side of the displacement frame 21, so that the sweeping rod 25 can spread the flavor particles in the added tray 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 A servo motor 45 is provided on one side of the driving device 43, and the output end of the servo motor 45 is fixedly connected to one side of the sprocket 431. A chain 44 is provided on the outer side of the sprocket 431, and the driving device 43 located on the other side of the upper baffle 41 can be driven by the chain 44. In this embodiment, after the servo motor 45 controls the power to be provided to one driving device 43, the sprocket 431 and the chain 44 cooperate to provide power to the other driving device 43, so that the forces on both sides of the upper baffle 41 and the lower baffle 42 are evenly applied, and the distance between the upper baffle 41 and the lower baffle 42 is controlled.

[0039] Working principle of this utility model:

[0040] Step 1, power is given by the stepper motor 23 to control the rotation of the No. 1 gear 24. Since the outer edge of the No. 1 gear 24 meshes with the lower surface of the No. 1 rack 22, when the No. 1 gear 24 rotates, it drives the No. 1 rack 22 to move. By controlling the No. 1 gear 24 to repeatedly rotate forward and reverse, the No. 1 rack 22 can drive the displacement frame 21 to move repeatedly, so that the sweeping rod 25 moves along the top of the tray 3. By providing an infrared sensor 252, the height of the flavor particles on the tray 3 is detected by the infrared sensor 252, and the height information is sent to the controller inside the freezer 1. The controller makes a judgment and starts the cylinder 253 according to the height of the flavor particles. The cylinder 253 gives power to adjust the position of the paving rod 251. After the paving rod 251 is in a suitable position, when the sweeping rod 25 moves repeatedly, the paving rod 251 sweeps the flavor particles inside the regulating mechanism 4, and the flavor particles are spread and dispersed in the inner cavity of the regulating mechanism 4, so that the flavor particles can be evenly contacted with the cold air.

[0041] Step 2, control the rotation of sprocket 431 through servo motor 435, and drive the second gear 432 to rotate through the rotation of sprocket 431. Since the outer edge of the second gear 432 is meshed with the second rack 433 and the third rack 434 respectively, when the second gear 432 rotates, it drives the second rack 433 and the third rack 434 to move relative to each other. By controlling the rotation direction of the second gear 432, the second rack 433 and the third rack 434 can be made to move towards or away from each other. The second rack 433 drives the upper baffle 41 to move, and the third rack 434 drives the lower baffle 42 to move through the connecting seat 435, and controls the distance between the upper baffle 41 and the lower baffle 42, so as to adjust the cooling speed and air outlet through the cold air port 12.

[0042] The above shows and describes the basic principle, main features and advantages of the utility model. The utility model is not limited by the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the utility model. The utility model may have various changes and improvements without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. These changes and improvements fall within the scope of the utility model to be protected. The scope of protection claimed by the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
