As time goes by, more and more marshmallow filaments will form a fluffy marshmallow. However, when operating the above steps, the operator needs to always hold and rotate the bamboo stick or wooden stick, resulting in a relatively large working intensity and being inconvenient for the operator to use.

[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] Combined with Figures 1 to 5 , an automatic clamping structure of a marshmallow machine, comprising a centrifugal cylinder member 3, a base 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the centrifugal cylinder member 3, a heating component 31 fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the centrifugal cylinder member 3, a rotation mechanism 1 arranged on the right side of the centrifugal cylinder member 3, and a fixing mechanism 2 arranged on the left side of the rotation mechanism 1.

[0029] The rotation mechanism 1 includes a support assembly 11, a drive assembly 12 and a transmission assembly 13. The support assembly 11 is arranged on the right side of the centrifugal cylinder member 3, the drive assembly 12 is arranged inside the support assembly 11 on the right side, and the transmission assembly 13 is arranged inside the support assembly 11 at the top.

[0030] The support assembly 11 includes a support frame 1101, the support frame 1101 is fixedly connected to the right outer side of the centrifugal cylinder member 3, the top of the right side of the support frame 1101 is fixedly connected with a protective box 1102, the driving assembly 12 includes a driving motor 1201, the driving motor 1201 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support frame 1101 at a position inside the protective box 1102, the top of the driving motor 1201 is fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 1202, the top of the rotating shaft 1202 is fixedly connected with a first bevel gear 1203, the outer circle of the rotating shaft 1202 is rotatably connected with a support collar 1204, the left side of the support collar 1204 is fixedly connected with a fixing frame 1205, the fixing frame 1205 is fixedly connected to the right side of the support frame 1101, the transmission assembly 13 includes a second bevel gear 1301, the second bevel gear 1301 meshes with the outer right side of the first bevel gear 1203, the left side of the second bevel gear 1301 is fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 1302, the outer circle of the rotating shaft 1302 is rotatably connected with a rotating cylinder 1303, and the rotating cylinder 1303 is fixedly connected to the inside of the top of the support frame 1101.

[0031] Furthermore: The operator only needs to start the driving motor 1201 to drive the rotating shaft 1302 to rotate, so that the marshmallow stick fixed between the semi-circular base 2101 and the semi-circular clamping block 2102 rotates to wind up the marshmallow flocs generated in the centrifugal cylinder member 3, completing the production of marshmallows. There is no need for the operator to manually hold and rotate the stick, reducing the labor intensity of the operator. The operation is simple and convenient for the operator to use. And compared with manually rotating the stick by hand, the rotation speed of the stick is accurately controllable by the driving motor 1201, and the rotation rate is more stable than manual rotation, making the produced marshmallow more circular and the sugar flocs more evenly distributed around.

[0032] Embodiment Two

[0033] Refer to Figures 1 to 5 , and on the basis of Embodiment One, it is further obtained that the fixing mechanism 2 includes a clamping assembly 21, a sliding assembly 22 and an adjusting assembly 23. The clamping assembly 21 is arranged on the left side of the transmission assembly 13, the sliding assembly 22 is arranged inside the clamping assembly 21, and the adjusting assembly 23 is arranged inside the front side of the clamping assembly 21.

[0034] The clamping assembly 21 includes a semi-circular base 2101 which is fixedly connected to the left side of the rotating shaft 1302. A semi-circular clamping block 2102 is snap-fitted inside the rear side of the semi-circular base 2101. A rubber clamping protrusion 2103 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the inner circle of the semi-circular clamping block 2102. The sliding assembly 22 includes a moving slide bar 2201 which is fixedly connected to the front side of the semi-circular clamping block 2102. A sleeve 2202 is slidably connected to the outer circle of the moving slide bar 2201, and the sleeve 2202 is fixedly connected to the inside of the front side of the semi-circular base 2101. A limiting arc plate 2203 is fixedly connected to the front side of the moving slide bar 2201, and the rear side of the limiting arc plate 2203 is completely attached to the front side of the semi-circular base 2101. The adjusting assembly 23 includes a fixed screw cylinder 2301 which is fixedly connected to the front side of the limiting arc plate 2203. A threaded rod 2302 is threadedly connected to the inner circle of the fixed screw cylinder 2301. A torsion disc 2303 is fixedly connected to the front side of the threaded rod 2302. A clamping shaft 2304 is rotatably connected to the inside of the rear side of the threaded rod 2302, and the clamping shaft 2304 is fixedly connected to the inside of the front side of the semi-circular base 2101.

[0035] Furthermore: The operator only needs to rotate the torsion disc 2303 to control the forward and backward movement of the semi-circular clamping block 2102, so that the semi-circular clamping block 2102 and the semi-circular base 2101 cooperate to complete the disassembly and assembly of the marshmallow stick. The operation is simple and convenient for the operator to use. When the semi-circular clamping block 2102 and the semi-circular base 2101 cooperate to clamp the stick, the setting of the rubber clamping protrusion 2103 increases the force applied when clamping the stick, increases the stability after the stick is fixed, and at the same time enables the semi-circular base 2101 and the semi-circular clamping block 2102 to cooperate to fix a stick with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the semi-circular base 2101 and the semi-circular clamping block 2102, increasing the scope of application of the device when in use.

[0036] In the actual operation process, when this device is in use and marshmallows need to be made, the operator first inserts the wooden stick for making marshmallows into the semi-circular base 2101. Then, the operator rotates the torsion disk 2303. The rotation of the torsion disk 2303 drives the rotation of the threaded rod 2302, and the rotation of the torsion disk 2303 drives the fixed screw cylinder 2301 to move forward. The forward movement of the fixed screw cylinder 2301 drives the semi-circular clamping block 2102 to move forward through the limiting arc plate 2203 and the moving slide rod 2201. The forward movement of the semi-circular clamping block 2102 drives the rubber convex 2103 to move forward to fit with the rear side of the wooden stick, so as to cooperate with the semi-circular base 2101 to complete the fixation of the wooden stick. Then, the operator starts the drive motor 1201. The start of the drive motor 1201 drives the rotation of the first bevel gear 1203 through the rotating shaft 1202. The rotation of the first bevel gear 1203 drives the rotation of the rotating shaft 1302 through the second bevel gear 1301. The rotation of the rotating shaft 1302 drives the synchronous rotation of the semi-circular base 2101 and the semi-circular clamping block 2102. At this time, the clamping and rotation of the wooden stick are completed. Then, the operator can add powdered sugar into the heating component 31 and start the rotation of the heating component 31. After the heating component 31 is started, it melts the sugar inside while rotating. The melted sugar liquid scatters outward under the action of centrifugal force to form sugar flocs. The sugar flocs formed in the centrifugal cylinder 3 contact the fixed and rotating wooden stick and adhere to the rotating wooden stick. As the wooden stick rotates, it winds around the wooden stick to complete the production of marshmallows.
