Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a chocolate tempering machine. Background Technique

[0002] Chocolate contains a large amount of cocoa butter. Cocoa butter begins to soften at about 28°C and the solid components quickly turn into a liquid state at about 33°C. The characteristic that cocoa butter has a narrow melting point range and is close to the human body temperature makes chocolate solid at room temperature and melt in the mouth. Cocoa butter exists in chocolate in the form of crystals, and its crystal form has different shapes and sizes at different temperatures. In the current food processing process, it is often necessary to melt food raw materials.

[0003] The existing tempering machine for chocolate with the reference patent application number CN201820563861.4 discloses "a chocolate tempering and pouring machine", which includes a mold table, a pouring mold, a stirring and tempering mechanism and a lifting mechanism; the pouring mold is freely placed on the mold table, the stirring and tempering mechanism is arranged on the mold table and is used for melting and stirring chocolate, the lifting mechanism is connected to the stirring and tempering mechanism and is used for transporting chocolate above the mold table, and the chocolate can fall into the pouring mold or the stirring and tempering mechanism for shaping or circulation. In order to lift and pour chocolate, the lifting mechanism includes a cylinder body, a lifting screw shaft, a lifting transmission and a lifting motor.

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned equipment, a large amount of food raw materials are likely to remain in the machine, especially at the position of the screw shaft. After the chocolate melts, it is relatively viscous, and the existing lifting screw shaft is covered by a cylinder body, and the cylinder body is fixed on the cylinder seat. It is difficult to clean the chocolate remaining on the lifting screw shaft. If it is rinsed with hot water, it is also difficult to penetrate deeply, resulting in difficulty in rinsing it clean, and bacteria are likely to breed after long-term use.
