Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of soft candy heat preservation, in particular to a soft candy heat preservation device. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of soft candy, the unsolidified soft candy is in a fluid state. At this time, the soft candy is sensitive to temperature. If the soft candy is heated unevenly, it will affect the fluidity of the material and the pouring effect, and ultimately lead to problems such as unstable product filling and pipeline blockage.

[0003] The document with patent publication number CN210311391U discloses a double-layer insulated silo, which maintains the temperature of the internal material by passing hot steam. At the same time, the external silo body is easy to disassemble and install, and can remain sealed for easy maintenance and insulation. However, the heating of steam equipment requires complex processes such as steam transportation and heat exchange. Temperature control is relatively difficult, and there may be problems such as temperature fluctuations and uneven heating, resulting in reduced product quality. For this reason, there is an urgent need for a silo that can continuously keep warm and has precise temperature control to meet production needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a soft candy insulation device, which can solve the problems that uneven heating of soft candies affects material fluidity and pouring effect, resulting in unstable product filling, low quality and pipeline blockage.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0006] A soft candy insulation device comprises: a mold temperature controller and a silo, the silo comprises a jacket, the jacket is provided with a feed port and a discharge port, the feed port is connected to the mold temperature controller, the feed port is connected to the mold temperature controller, the mold temperature controller comprises a heating unit, the heating unit comprises a controller and an electric heating pipe, the controller is electrically connected to the electric heating pipe.

[0007] The controller can accurately control the heating power of the electric heating tube to ensure that the temperature is stable within the set range. This precise temperature control helps to improve the stability of the production process and product quality.

[0008] Preferably, a material unloading unit is further included, and the material bins are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material unloading unit.

[0009] Symmetrically arranged silos usually have two feeding channels, which helps to achieve smooth material discharge. When one discharge port is blocked or needs maintenance, the other discharge port can continue to work to ensure the continuity of the production process. The symmetrically arranged silos can speed up the material discharge.

[0010] Preferably, the jacket is circumferentially arranged on the inner wall of the silo.

[0011] The jacket circumferentially arranged on the inner wall of the silo can ensure that the heat is evenly distributed around the heating device, thereby achieving uniform heating of the heated object.

[0012] This uniform heating helps reduce temperature gradients and avoids performance degradation or damage to the heated object due to local overheating or overcooling.

[0013] The circumferentially arranged heating elements can utilize the heating space more effectively and transfer heat to the heated object more quickly.

[0014] Preferably, the feed inlet is close to the top of the silo, and the discharge outlet is close to the bottom of the silo.

[0015] Preferably, a temperature sensor is provided on the inner wall of the silo, and the temperature sensor is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0016] The temperature sensor can monitor the heating temperature of the silo in real time and provide accurate temperature feedback data. The controller can accurately control the heating power of the electric heating tube according to the feedback signal of the temperature sensor to ensure that the temperature is stable within the set range. This precise temperature control helps to improve the stability of the production process and product quality.

[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the silo includes a feed channel, the diameter of the feed channel is 50 cm, and the feed channel is inclined.

[0018] The inclined setting helps the material to flow naturally under the action of gravity, reducing the accumulation and blockage of materials in the channel.

[0019] The 50cm channel diameter can accommodate different types and specifications of soft candy cooked materials, and has strong versatility and flexibility. This enables the feeding channel to cope with changes in different production needs and improve the adaptability and flexibility of the production line.

[0020] Preferably, a heat-insulating layer is provided in the feed conveying pipeline.

[0021] The insulation layer can effectively reduce heat loss, especially under high temperature conditions, it can prevent heat from being transferred to the external environment, thereby reducing energy waste. This insulation effect can significantly improve the working efficiency of the pipeline, ensure the temperature stability of the transmission medium, reduce the impact of temperature changes on the transportation of soft candy, and thus improve the efficiency of soft candy transportation.

[0022] Preferably, the silo body has a thickness of 5-10 cm.

[0023] When the thickness of the silo is 5-10cm, it can withstand the pressure caused by materials, its own weight and possible external loads, thereby ensuring the structural safety of the silo. The appropriate thickness can prevent the silo from deformation, cracking or collapse due to uneven force, thereby ensuring production safety.

[0024] Preferably, the material unloading unit comprises a material guide plate, and the material guide plate is hinged to the material conveying channel.

[0025] The hinged connection allows a certain relative movement between the guide plate and the feed channel, which enables the guide plate to flexibly adjust its angle and position as needed to better adapt to the requirements of material flow. The hinge can play a certain buffering role. When the material is impacted during the conveying process, the hinged structure can absorb part of the impact force, reduce damage to the guide plate and the feed channel, and extend its service life.

[0026] Preferably, the silo includes a silo roof plate, which is hingedly connected to the silo body and has ventilation holes.

[0027] The vents allow external air to exchange with the inside of the device, thereby effectively taking away the heat generated inside the device. This air convection can significantly reduce the temperature inside the device and keep the device running within the optimal operating temperature range.

[0028] The roof of the warehouse can effectively block solar radiation and prevent the impact of direct sunlight on the temperature inside the warehouse. This helps reduce the direct effect of solar radiation heat on the warehouse, lowering the temperature inside the warehouse and achieving a heat preservation effect.

[0029] Excessively high temperatures may damage the electronic components and mechanical parts of the equipment, reducing their performance and life. Reasonable design and layout of vents can effectively prevent this from happening and extend the service life of the equipment by keeping the temperature of the equipment stable.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0031] This application uses a mold temperature controller for heating. Compared with steam equipment, the mold temperature controller can control the temperature to a constant value, so that the temperature of the mold is stable during the processing process, avoiding unqualified products due to temperature not meeting the standard. The mold temperature controller has the characteristics of rapid heating and cooling, and can quickly adjust the mold temperature in a short time, which helps to improve production efficiency.

[0035] 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.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the soft candy protection device of the present application includes a mold temperature controller and a silo. The silo includes a jacket. The jacket is provided with a feed port and a discharge port. The feed port is connected to the mold temperature controller.

[0038] The jacket is circumferentially arranged on the inner wall of the silo. The jacket circumferentially arranged on the inner wall of the silo can ensure that the heat is evenly distributed around the heating device, thereby achieving uniform heating of the heated object. This uniform heating helps to reduce temperature gradients and avoid performance degradation or damage to the heated object due to local overheating or overcooling. The circumferentially arranged heating elements can more effectively utilize the heating space and transfer heat to the heated object faster.

[0039] In some embodiments, the jacket can be repeatedly bent circumferentially and arranged on the inner wall of the silo. The bent heat dissipation pipe can also increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. By bending the heat dissipation pipe, it can adapt to these narrow spaces, thereby completing the heat dissipation task without sacrificing heat dissipation performance.

[0040] In some embodiments, the jacket setting method may include multiple methods.

[0041] The mold temperature controller includes a heating unit, which includes a controller and an electric heating tube. The controller is electrically connected to the electric heating tube. The controller is electrically connected to the electric heating tube. A temperature sensor is provided on the inner wall of the silo, and the temperature sensor is communicatively connected to the controller.

[0042] The temperature sensor can monitor the heating temperature of the silo in real time and provide accurate temperature feedback data. The controller can accurately control the heating power of the electric heating tube according to the feedback signal of the temperature sensor to ensure that the temperature is stable within the set range. This precise temperature control helps to improve the stability of the production process and product quality.

[0043] The heat medium of the mold temperature controller circulates in the jacket to achieve the heat preservation function. In some embodiments, the heat medium of the mold temperature controller may include the following:

[0044] Thermal oil: As the heat transfer medium of the oil temperature machine, the use of thermal oil can obtain a higher heat medium temperature under lower pressure conditions. The thermal oil mold temperature machine is usually called an oil circulation mold temperature machine or an oil heater, and its maximum temperature can reach 400 degrees.

[0045] Water: The water mold temperature controller (water temperature controller) that uses water as the heat transfer medium has the advantages of fast heat transfer speed and cleanliness without pollution.

[0046] The large specific heat of water makes the water mold temperature controller highly efficient in temperature control. The temperature range of the water mold temperature controller is relatively small, and the general maximum temperature can reach 180°C. It is suitable for precision injection molding, wind turbine blade molding, lithium battery diaphragm production lines and other fields. The water mold temperature controller uses water as the medium and only needs to be connected to tap water, which is easy to use.

[0047] The temperature sensor sets different temperature thresholds according to different media.

[0048] The present application also includes a material discharge unit, which includes a material guide plate, and the material bins are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the material discharge unit. The symmetrically arranged material bins usually have two material delivery channels, which helps to achieve smooth material discharge. When one side of the material discharge port is blocked or needs maintenance, the other side of the material discharge port can continue to work to ensure the continuity of the production process. The symmetrically arranged material bins can speed up the material discharge.

[0049] In some embodiments, the number and location of the silos can be flexibly adjusted and can serve as alternatives to the present application.

[0050] The bottom of the silo includes a material conveying channel, which is arranged at an inclination. The inclination helps the material to flow naturally under the action of gravity and reduces the accumulation and blockage of the material in the channel.

[0051] The guide plate is hinged to the material conveying channel. The hinged connection allows a certain relative movement between the guide plate and the material conveying channel, which enables the guide plate to flexibly adjust its angle and position as needed to better adapt to the requirements of material flow. The hinge can play a certain buffering role. When the material is impacted during the conveying process, the hinged structure can absorb part of the impact force, reduce damage to the guide plate and the material conveying channel, and extend its service life.

[0052] refer to Figure 2As shown, the silo includes a silo roof plate 10 and a silo body 9, wherein the silo roof plate 10 is hingedly connected to the silo body 9, and a vent is provided on the silo roof plate 10, which allows external air to exchange with the interior of the equipment, thereby effectively taking away the heat generated inside the equipment. This air convection can significantly reduce the temperature inside the equipment and keep the equipment running within the optimal operating temperature range.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] The feed channel diameter of the present application is set to 50 cm, which can ensure smooth flow of soft candy in the feed channel and effectively reduce the risk of blockage and accumulation. This diameter size fully considers the material properties of soft candy, such as viscosity and fluidity, thereby ensuring the stability and continuity of the production process.

[0055] The larger channel diameter allows for a higher conveying speed, which means more soft candy clinker can be processed in the same amount of time. This helps improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0056] The 50cm channel diameter can accommodate different types and specifications of soft candy cooked materials, and has strong versatility and flexibility, which enables the feeding channel to cope with changes in different production needs and improve the adaptability and flexibility of the production line.

[0057] In some embodiments, for a small soft candy production line, the diameter of the feed channel of the silo may be smaller, such as 30 to 50 cm, to meet the requirements of lower feed speed and smaller equipment size.

[0058] In some embodiments, for a large-scale soft candy production line, due to the faster feeding speed and larger equipment size, the diameter of the feeding channel of its silo may be increased accordingly, such as 60 to 100 cm.

[0059] In the design of the soft candy silo, the diameter of the feed channel does not have a fixed standard value, but is determined based on multiple factors. Within a reasonable range, a feed channel of any diameter can be used as an alternative for the present application.

[0060] Example 3

[0061] In some embodiments, the feed channel is provided with an insulation layer. For the soft candy feed channel, commonly used insulation materials may include but are not limited to foam plastics, mineral wool, aluminum silicate fibers, etc. These materials have good thermal insulation properties and can effectively maintain the temperature stability in the channel, preventing the feed channel from being too long and the soft candy from solidifying and clogging the channel.

[0062] The insulation layer can effectively reduce heat loss, especially under high temperature conditions, it can prevent heat from being transferred to the external environment, thereby reducing energy waste. This insulation effect can significantly improve the working efficiency of the pipeline, ensure the temperature stability of the transmission medium, reduce the impact of temperature changes on the transportation of soft candy, and thus improve the efficiency of soft candy transportation.

[0063] In some embodiments, the thickness and material selection of the insulation layer need to be determined according to the specific application scenario, ambient temperature and transportation requirements.

[0064] In some embodiments, the feed channel may further include some other heat preservation devices.

[0065] Example 4

[0066] Preferably, the connection method between the guide plate and the feed channel may also include:

[0067] Pin connection: The connection is achieved by installing pins on mechanical parts.

[0068] The pin connection has a simple structure, reliable connection, simple structure and convenient disassembly and assembly.

[0069] Welding connection: The connection is achieved by heating, melting and cooling two parts. The welding connection has high connection strength, simple structure, high strength, good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.

[0070] Fitted connection: The connection between two parts is achieved by the convex part of one part fitting or matching with the concave part of the other part.

[0071] Snap-in connection: It has strong connection force and good rigidity. It is suitable for situations where the working conditions are harsh and a firm connection is required. Common snap-in connections include wedge connection, mortise and tenon connection, tooth connection, etc.

[0072] Mating connection: A connection achieved by inserting one part into the hole of another part.

[0073] Common mating connections include pin connections, bearing connections, snap-in connections, etc.

[0074] The plug-in connection is easy to disassemble and accurately positioned, and is suitable for occasions that require high precision between parts, easy disassembly, and simple assembly.

[0075] Clamping connection: A connection achieved by clamping one part in another. Clamping connection has high reliability and a wide range of applications. It is suitable for situations requiring tight connection and reliable torque transmission.

[0076] Common clamping connections include spring connection, snap ring connection, wedge connection, etc.

[0078] Bonding: Two or more mechanical parts are connected together by adhesives. Bonding is lightweight and aesthetically pleasing, and provides good sealing and dustproof properties.

[0079] In some embodiments, the material guide plate and the material conveying channel may be connected in various ways.

[0080] Example 5

[0081] When the thickness of the silo of the present application is set to 5-10cm, it can withstand the pressure caused by materials, its own weight and possible external loads, thereby ensuring the structural safety of the silo. The appropriate thickness can prevent the silo from deformation, cracking or collapse due to uneven force, thereby ensuring production safety.

[0082] In some embodiments, within a reasonable range, the silo thickness may be other values, all of which may serve as alternatives to the present application.

[0083] The silo of the present application is made of stainless steel. Stainless steel as an insulation layer can reduce the temperature loss of the medium and reduce the energy consumption of heating and cooling equipment, thereby saving energy resources. Through the application of the stainless steel insulation layer, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor can be effectively isolated, so that the pipeline transportation temperature can be kept stable.

[0084] In some embodiments, different materials used for the silo can be used as an alternative to this solution.
