Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to an aeration stirring device for processing toffee. Background Art

[0002] Toffee is a kind of candy with milk flavor, usually made from sugar, milk, butter or cream, and sometimes other spices or nuts are added to increase the taste. The production process of toffee includes raw material preparation, mixing and boiling, boiling and stirring, cooling, cutting and packaging. During the boiling and stirring process, gas can be injected into the raw materials to make them expand and bubble. This kind of aerated toffee tastes lighter, fluffier and more elastic than ordinary toffee.

[0003] Most of the existing toffee stirring devices are internally configured with a separate stirring structure and an inflation structure. For example, Patent Publication No.: CN213961628U discloses an automatic lid opening system for a toffee aerating stirring pot, which inflates the raw materials by injecting gas into the pot while stirring the raw materials. However, most of the separate inflation stirring structures have problems such as uneven inflation, asynchronous operation, and high cost. In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an inflation stirring device for toffee processing is now provided. Summary of the invention

[0016] 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. Example

[0017] See also Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides an aeration and stirring device for processing toffee, comprising a base 1.

[0018] Specifically, the upper end of the base 1 is fixedly connected to a bracket 2, and a rotating drum 3 is rotatably installed inside the bracket 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a driven gear 31 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotating drum 3 , and the driven gear 31 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the base 1 .

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a first driving member is fixedly installed inside the bracket 2, and the first driving member is set as a motor. The output shaft of the first driving member is downward, and a driving gear 32 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the first driving member, and the driving gear 32 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the base 1. Figure 2 As shown, the driving gear 32 and the driven gear 31 are meshed with each other.

[0020] The first driving member can be started to drive the driving gear 32 to rotate, thereby driving the meshing driven gear 31 to rotate. The driven gear 31 can drive the rotating drum 3 to rotate in the bracket 2. The bracket 2 can protect the rotating drum 3 and prevent external objects or people from contacting the rotating rotating drum 3 and causing damage. At the same time, a heating ring is installed inside the bracket 2, that is, the rotating drum 3 can be heated by electromagnetic heating. When the milk candy raw materials are injected into the rotating drum 3, the heating of the rotating drum 3 can prevent the milk candy raw materials inside from solidifying during the stirring process.

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, a cover plate 21 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the bracket 2, a feed hopper 23 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cover plate 21, and a feed port is provided at the place where the cover plate 21 is mounted with the feed hopper 23.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the cover plate 21 is rotatably covered on the upper end of the drum 3, and then the milk candy raw materials are put into the feed hopper 23, and then the milk candy raw materials can enter the inside of the drum 3 through the feed port of the cover plate 21. The lower end of the cover plate 21 is slidably mounted with a stirring shaft 22, that is, the stirring shaft 22 is located inside the drum 3.

[0023] Specifically, the cover plate 21 is provided with a slide groove, a slider 41 is slidably installed in the slide groove, the stirring shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the slider 41, and the slider 41 slides in the slide groove, so that the stirring shaft 22 can slide under the cover plate 21.

[0024] The upper end pipeline of the slider 41 is connected to an air pump, and the air pump, the slider 41 and the stirring shaft 22 are interconnected. Figure 3As shown, the outer wall of the stirring shaft 22 is provided with exhaust holes, and the exhaust holes are provided in multiple numbers and are evenly arranged.

[0025] When in use, the first driving member is started inside the rotating drum 3 to drive the driving gear 32 to rotate, and then the meshing driven gear 31 is driven to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 31 can drive the rotating drum 3 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating drum 3 causes the stirring shaft 22 to rotate inside the rotating drum 3. The rotation of the rotating drum 3 causes the toffee raw materials to contact the stirring shaft 22, and then the toffee raw materials inside are stirred through the stirring shaft 22.

[0026] At this time, start the air pump to allow high-pressure air to pass through the pipeline, slider 41 and stirring shaft 22 and be discharged from the exhaust hole of the stirring shaft 22. After the toffee raw material wraps around the stirring shaft 22, the gas discharged from the exhaust hole can be filled into the toffee raw material, thereby completing the toffee inflation operation during the stirring process.

[0027] Compared with the existing aeration and stirring device with separate structures for aeration and stirring, the aeration and stirring are combined into one by using the stirring shaft 22 with exhaust holes, so that the stirring and aeration can be operated synchronously. In the process of mixing the milk candy raw materials, the stirring shaft 22 can ensure the uniformity of the milk candy raw materials, and the gas discharged from the exhaust holes can be uniformly injected into the milk candy raw materials, so that the bubble distribution is more uniform, ensuring that the milk candy raw materials fully absorb air while stirring, thereby achieving more uniform mixing. In addition, the structure of the integrated aeration and stirring device is simpler, which saves costs and is convenient for later maintenance.

[0028] In order to make the toffee raw material more evenly stirred, the stirring shaft 22 slides back and forth under the cover plate 21 during the rotation of the drum 3 .

[0029] Specifically, one end of the slider 41 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 42, and a second driving member is fixedly installed inside the bracket 2. The second driving member is also configured as a motor, and the output shaft of the second driving member is upward. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the output shaft of the second driving member is fixedly connected to the turntable 4 , and the other end of the connecting rod 42 away from the sliding block 41 is rotatably connected to the end surface edge of the turntable 4 .

[0030] When the drum 3 rotates, the second driving member is started to rotate the turntable 4, and then the slider 41 is driven to slide back and forth in the slide groove of the cover plate 21 through the connecting rod 42, that is, the stirring shaft 22 is driven to slide back and forth at the lower end of the cover plate 21. The reciprocating sliding of the stirring shaft 22 allows the stirring shaft 22 to fully contact the milk candy raw materials in the drum 3, so that the milk candy raw materials can be stirred more evenly.

[0031] Although the embodiments 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.
