Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chocolate coating spraying, and particularly relates to a chocolate coating spraying device. Background Technique

[0002] As a popular sweet food, the diverse application forms of chocolate have become an important direction for food innovation. As a key device for producing fancy chocolate varieties, the technical background of the chocolate coating spraying device is closely related to market demand.

[0003] Most of the current spraying devices are fixed, and the height of the spraying position cannot be adjusted during the spraying process on different objects, resulting in problems such as uneven spraying or omission due to height mismatch. Moreover, the discharged chocolate liquid needs to be slowly guided through a deflector on the surface of the object, which increases the contact time of the chocolate liquid with the outside world and is easily contaminated by dust, resulting in unqualified product quality inspection. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a chocolate coating spraying device to solve the problems of height adjustment of the spraying position and easy dust contamination during the diversion process of the chocolate liquid in the prior art.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A chocolate coating spraying device includes a housing. A conveyor belt is installed between the housings. A storage tank is provided below the conveyor belt. A guide rail is installed on the side of the housing. A linear motor is installed on the guide rail. A connecting shaft is fixed on one side of the linear motor; A mounting plate is fixed on one side of the connecting shaft. Side plates are provided on both sides of the mounting plate; A spraying assembly is installed on the side plates. The two sides of the storage tank are inclined planes.

[0007] Further, the spraying assembly includes a storage box and a stirring motor. The storage box is installed between the side plates. The stirring motor is connected to one side of the mounting plate. A spiral rod is installed at the output end of the stirring motor. The spiral rod is inside the storage box. A feeding pipe is installed on the outer wall of the storage box. A diversion port is opened at the bottom end of the storage box.

[0008] Further, the two end faces of the side plates are parallel to the acute angle sides of the storage box. The inclination of the side plates can support and install the storage box, facilitate stabilizing the storage box between the side plates, and is conducive to the assembly positioning and disassembly of the storage box.

[0009] Further, heating wires are provided on the inner walls of the side plates. After being energized, the heating wires can generate heat and convert electrical energy into heat energy, which is transmitted to the storage box through heat transfer, ensuring good fluidity and avoiding being difficult to control due to excessive fluidity.

[0010] Furthermore, on both inner walls on the upper side of the storage box, a number of pressure nozzles are provided, and a liquid guide pipe is connected to the number of pressure nozzles. The liquid guide pipe is connected to a water pump, and the water pump extracts water into the liquid guide pipe and sprays it out from the pressure nozzles, which can wash the inside of the storage box and is suitable for cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the storage box.

[0011] Furthermore, a liquid level sensor is provided below the pressure nozzle. When the liquid level of the chocolate liquid touches the liquid level sensor, a signal is generated by the liquid level sensor, and the flow rate of the pump is reduced or stopped through a controller or a computer, thereby avoiding the problem of blockage caused by the chocolate liquid covering the surface of the pressure nozzle.

[0012] The technical solution of the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. Start the linear motor to change the position height of the coating assembly installed between the side plates, so as to adjust the position height of the coating assembly according to the height of different foods for precise alignment, thereby optimizing the coating effect and avoiding problems such as uneven coating or omission caused by mismatched heights; it can quickly adapt to the processing requirements of different products without replacing or adjusting the equipment, reducing the production preparation time and cost.

[0014] 2. The stirring motor drives the screw rod to rotate, and the chocolate liquid in the storage box will be driven to stir, avoiding the phenomenon of stratification or caking caused by standing still or simple stirring. The chocolate liquid is directly coated on the surface of the article through the storage box, and there is no need for a diversion plate to slowly guide it on the surface of the article, shortening the contact time of the chocolate liquid with the outside world and avoiding being affected by dust.

[0015] 3. The upper sides of both sides of the storage box are at 90°, and the lower sides of both sides are provided with acute angles, with the acute angles wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The diversion port is opened at the bottom end of the acute angle, and the acute angle faces downward. This structural setting and placement position can keep the chocolate liquid inside the storage box gathered at the bottom end of the acute angle, facilitating discharge from the diversion port and reducing the problem of uneven outflow of the chocolate liquid.

Specific embodiments

[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Embodiment 1:

[0027] Refer to Figures 1-5 , a chocolate coating and spraying device, including an outer shell 10, a conveyor belt 11 is installed between the outer shells 10, a storage groove 12 is arranged below the conveyor belt 11, a guide rail 14 is installed on the side of the outer shell 10, a linear motor 15 is installed on the guide rail 14, and a connecting shaft 16 is fixed on one side of the linear motor 15; a mounting plate 17 is fixed on one side of the connecting shaft 16, side plates 18 are arranged on both sides of the mounting plate 17, and a coating and spraying assembly is installed on the side plates 18.

[0028] In the above solution, a driving motor 13 is installed on the outer wall of the outer shell 10. The conveyor belt 11 is driven by the driving motor 13 for transportation. The conveyor belt 11 is a chain mesh type. The products to be coated are placed on the surface of the conveyor belt 11. The conveyor belt 11 transports the products to the lower part of the coating assembly. The chocolate liquid flowing out of the coating assembly will cover the products passing below. The excess chocolate liquid will pass through the chain mesh type conveyor belt 11 and enter the storage tank 12 for temporary storage. Starting the linear motor 15 can perform vertical displacement on the guide rail 14. At the same time, the mounting plate 17 fixed on one side of the connecting shaft 16 follows the displacement, thereby changing the position height of the coating assembly installed between the side plates 18, so as to adjust the position height of the coating assembly according to the height of different foods for precise alignment, thereby optimizing the coating effect and avoiding problems such as uneven coating or omission caused by height mismatch; it can quickly adapt to the processing requirements of different products without replacing or adjusting the equipment, reducing the production preparation time and cost;

[0029] Further reference Figure 7 , both sides of the storage tank 12 are inclined planes. The excess chocolate liquid enters the storage tank 12 and will automatically gather towards the center of the storage tank 12 for collection under the action of the inclined plane. Connect the pipeline below the storage tank 12 to the chocolate liquid storage tank again or directly connect the pipeline to the inside of the storage box 20 to promote the circulating coating of the chocolate liquid. A pump is installed between the pipelines to control the circulating operation of the chocolate liquid.

[0030] Reference Figures 2-6 , the coating assembly includes a storage box 20 and a stirring motor 21. The storage box 20 is installed between the side plates 18. The stirring motor 21 is connected to one side of the mounting plate 17. A screw rod 22 is installed at the output end of the stirring motor 21. The screw rod 22 is inside the storage box 20. A feed pipe 25 is installed on the outer wall of the storage box 20. A diversion port 27 is opened at the bottom end of the storage box 20.

[0031] In the above solution, one end of the feed pipe 25 is connected to a pump 26. The input end of the pump 26 is connected to the chocolate liquid storage tank. The pump 26 pumps the chocolate liquid in the chocolate liquid storage tank into the feed pipe 25 and discharges it into the storage box 20 through the feed pipe 25. The chocolate liquid flows out from the diversion port 27 and is coated on the surface of the article. By starting the stirring motor 21 to drive the screw rod 22 to rotate, the chocolate liquid in the storage box 20 will be driven to stir, avoiding the stratification or caking phenomenon caused by standing or simple stirring. The device directly coats the article through the storage box 20, without the need for a diversion plate to slowly guide the liquid onto the article surface, shortening the contact time of the chocolate liquid with the outside world and avoiding being affected by dust.

[0032] Further reference Figure 6, both sides above the storage box 20 are at 90°, and both sides below are arranged at acute angles, with the upper part of the acute angle wider and the lower part narrower. The diversion port 27 is opened at the bottom end of the acute angle, and the direction of the acute angle is downward. This structural setting and placement position can keep the chocolate liquid inside the storage box 20 gathered at the bottom end of the acute angle, facilitating drainage from the diversion port 27 and reducing the problem of uneven outflow of the chocolate liquid.

[0033] Furthermore Figure 4 and Figure 6 , both end faces on both sides of the side plate 18 are parallel to both sides of the acute angle of the storage box 20. According to Figure 6 in, the inclination of the side plate 18 can support and install the storage box 20, facilitating the stable placement of the storage box 20 between the side plates 18, which is beneficial for the assembly positioning and disassembly of the storage box 20.

[0034] Further reference Figure 5 , a heating wire 19 is provided on the inner wall of the side plate 18. After being powered on, the heating wire 19 can generate heat and convert electrical energy into heat energy, which is transmitted to the storage box 20 through heat transfer, so that the chocolate liquid inside the storage box 20 is maintained between 30°C and 32°C. This not only ensures good fluidity but also avoids being difficult to control due to excessive fluidity. Such a viscosity makes the chocolate easier and more evenly spread on the surface of the dessert, reducing the generation of bubbles and dripping, and improving the accuracy and aesthetics of the coating.

[0035] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0036] Place the product to be coated on the surface of the conveyor belt 11. The conveyor belt 11 transports the product to the lower part of the coating assembly. The chocolate liquid flowing out of the coating assembly will cover the product passing below. The excess chocolate liquid will pass through the chain mesh conveyor belt 11 and enter the storage tank 12 for temporary storage. Starting the linear motor 15 can perform vertical displacement on the guide rail 14, thereby changing the position height of the coating assembly installed between the side plates 18, so as to adjust the position height of the coating assembly according to the height of different foods for precise alignment. The input end of the pump 26 is connected to the chocolate liquid tank body. The pump 26 extracts the chocolate liquid from the chocolate liquid tank body and enters the feed pipe 25, which is discharged into the storage box 20 by the feed pipe 25. The chocolate liquid flows out from the diversion port 27 and is coated on the surface of the article. By starting the stirring motor 21 to drive the screw rod 22 to rotate, the chocolate liquid inside the storage box 20 will be driven to stir.

[0037] Embodiment Two:

[0038] Reference Figure 6 , several pressure nozzles 24 are provided on the inner walls of both sides above the storage box 20, and a liquid guide pipe 23 is connected to the several pressure nozzles 24.

[0039] In the above solution, the liquid guide pipe 23 is connected to a water pump, and the water pump extracts water source into the liquid guide pipe 23 and sprays it out from the pressure nozzle 24, which can wash the inside of the storage box 20 and is suitable for the cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the storage box 20.

[0040] Further, a liquid level sensor 28 is provided below the pressure nozzle 24. When the liquid level of the chocolate liquid contacts the liquid level sensor 28, a signal is generated by the liquid level sensor 28, and the flow rate of the pump 26 is reduced or stopped by controlling the controller or the computer, thus avoiding the problem of blockage caused by the chocolate liquid covering the surface of the pressure nozzle 24 and improving the service life of the overall equipment. The pump and the motor in the text are uniformly connected and controlled on the controller or the computer.

[0041] The specific implementation process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0042] After the coating is completed or when changing the chocolate liquid of different color types, high-pressure liquid is sprayed out from the pressure nozzle 24 to wash the inside of the storage box 20.
