[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the present utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without any creative work belong to the scope protected by the present utility model.

[0019] This specific embodiment provides a chocolate surface micro-melting device to solve the technical problem of incompatibility between melting and product aesthetics in the prior art.

[0020] Hereinafter, the embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the embodiments shown below do not impose any limitation on the content of the utility model described in the claims. Further, all the contents of the configurations shown in the following embodiments are not necessarily essential for the solution of the utility model described in the claims.

[0021] Referring to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , the present utility model provides a chocolate surface micro-melting device, including a support frame 1, a heating device 2, a blower 3, and a first conveying pipeline 4. The support frame 1 spans across the support of the conveying device, and the support provides support for the support frame 1. Among them, the heating device 2 is installed on the support frame 1, the blower 3 is installed at the inlet end of the heating device 2, and the first conveying pipeline 4 is connected to the output end of the heating device 2. The air outside the blower is conveyed to the heating device, facilitating the heating device to heat the conveyed air, and then conveyed to the outside through the first conveying pipeline. The first conveying pipeline is laid downward and bent above the conveying device, and a plurality of air outlets are provided on the first conveying pipeline. The number of air outlets is greater than or equal to the number of columns of the material conveying of the conveying device, and the positions of the air outlets correspond to the positions where the materials are placed in the conveyed materials, for heating the materials on the conveying device. Since the hot air is directly ejected from the positions of the air outlets, the ejected hot air can only heat the local positions of the chocolate, avoiding the overall structure of the chocolate from melting. In this way, it is convenient to place biscuits on the chocolate slices while also avoiding the change in the shape of the chocolate. With such a setting, a micro-melting state of 10 silk levels on the surface is achieved without damaging the shape of the chocolate slices, solving the pain point of incompatibility between melting and product aesthetics in the industry.

[0022] For a further optimized solution, in order to ensure the shape of the chocolate and reduce the influence of the hot air on other positions of the chocolate, a plurality of branch pipes are provided on the side wall of the first conveying pipeline 4. The branch pipes extend downward to the surface of the material. In this way, the setting of the branch pipes realizes the directional heating of the material, avoiding the heating of other areas of the material. Among them, the second ends of the branch pipes form air outlets.

[0023] For a further optimized solution, in order to prevent relatively large debris from entering the blower, a second delivery pipeline 5 is provided at one end of the blower 3 away from the heating device 2, and the second delivery pipeline 5 is connected to the atmosphere. In this way, air is delivered to the blower 3 through the second delivery pipeline 5, and large debris can be prevented from directly entering at the inlet end face of the second delivery pipeline 5.

[0024] For a further optimized solution, in order to know the temperature of the heated air, a temperature sensor 8 is provided at one end of the first delivery pipeline 4 close to the heating device 2. The temperature sensor 8 is electrically connected to the control board of the heating device 2. Among them, a preset value is set on the control board. The value detected by the temperature sensor is transmitted to the control board, and the control board judges the detected value and the preset value. When the detected value is higher than the preset value, the control board controls the heating device 2 to stop heating. When the detected value is lower than the preset value, the control board controls the heating device 2 to increase the heating efficiency, thereby ensuring the stability of the value detected by the temperature sensor 8.

[0025] For a further optimized solution, for the convenience of overall control, the chocolate surface micro-melting device further includes a controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the heating device 2, the blower 3, and the temperature sensor 8. Among them, the temperature sensor 8 is directly connected to the controller, which is convenient for the controller to uniformly control the heating device 2 and the blower 3.

[0026] For a further optimized solution, in order to ensure the overall balance of the first delivery pipeline 5, a third delivery pipeline 6 is provided at one end of the first delivery pipeline 5 away from the heating device 2. The third delivery pipeline 6 is installed on the support frame 1 and is connected to the second delivery pipeline 5. In this way, the air circulation is facilitated. At the same time, when the equipment is cooled, the cooling speed of the equipment can be accelerated.

[0027] For a further optimized solution, in order to ensure that when the equipment is in use, hot air can only be ejected from the position of the air outlet, a switching valve 7 is provided between the second delivery pipeline 5 and the third delivery pipeline 6 to disconnect and open the second delivery pipeline 5 and the third delivery pipeline. When the switching valve 7 is in the open state, the overall air circulation of the equipment is facilitated. When the switching valve 7 is in the closed state, hot air can only be sprayed from the air outlet to the chocolate, and only the surface of the chocolate is melted.

[0028] For a further optimized solution, in order to adjust the magnitude of the air volume at the air outlet, the controller further includes a frequency converter. The frequency converter is electrically connected to the blower and the frequency converter is electrically connected to the controller. By adjusting the working parameters of the frequency converter, the air intake volume is adjusted to ensure the overall air circulation.
