[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2 , an embodiment provided by the present utility model: A multi - layer baking device for cocoa butter processing includes a base 1. The top of the base 1 is fixedly connected with an outer shell 2. Heat dissipation holes are provided on both sides of the outer shell 2 to prevent the temperature inside the outer shell 2 from being too high. A lower flip door 3 is installed at the front of the outer shell 2. The lower flip door 3 is made of heat - insulating material, and cocoa butter liquid is taken and placed by opening the lower flip door 3. A motor 4 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 2. The motor 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer shell 2. A turning mechanism 5 is arranged inside the outer shell 2, and a warning mechanism 6 is arranged on the right side of the outer shell 2;
[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3The turning mechanism 5 includes a rotating rod 501, a fixed block 503, and a turning plate 504. The rotating rod 501 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4. The output power of the motor 4 drives the rotating rod 501 to rotate. The fixed block 503 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the middle interlayer of the outer shell 2. The fixed block 503 supports the rotating rod 501. The rotating rod 501 rotates along the inner wall of the fixed block 503. The turning plate 504 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 501 away from the motor 4. The rotation of the rotating rod 501 drives the turning plate 504 to rotate, driving the cocoa butter inside it to be turned over and baked. The surface of the rotating rod 501 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 2, and the surface of the rotating rod 501 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed block 503, so that various parts of the liquid cocoa butter are more evenly exposed to the heat source, avoiding local overheating or insufficient heating, thereby ensuring the consistency of baking quality.
[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 - Figure 3 The turning mechanism 5 also includes a rotating wheel 502, a mold box 505, a flip cover 506, a hook 507, and a buckle block 508. The rotating wheel 502 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 501, the mold box 505 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall inside the turning plate 504, and cocoa butter is placed inside the mold box 505. Under the action of the mold box 505, the cocoa butter can be square after baking. The flip cover 506 is rotatably connected to the top of the turning plate 504, and the flip cover 506 plays a role in preventing cocoa butter from overflowing when baking is selected. The hook 507 is hinged at the front part of the flip cover 506, and the buckle block 508 is fixedly connected to the front part of the turning plate 504. The hook 507 can be fixed with the buckle block 508 to prevent the flip cover 506 from opening. The bottom of the flip cover 506 is in contact with the top of the turning plate 504, and the hook 507 after movement is connected to the buckle block 508.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 4 The warning mechanism 6 includes an air pipe 601, a liquid storage tank 602, and a fixed ring 603. The air pipe 601 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer shell 2. The warm gas is infused into the liquid storage tank 602 through the air pipe 601. The liquid storage tank 602 is fixedly connected to the end of the air pipe 601 away from the outer shell 2. Sodium bicarbonate solution is stored in the liquid storage tank 602. Sodium bicarbonate generates gas when heated. The fixed ring 603 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer shell 2. The surface of the liquid storage tank 602 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed ring 603.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 4The warning mechanism 6 also includes a piston rod 604, a switch button 605, and an alarm 606. The piston rod 604 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the liquid storage tank 602. The gas expands and causes the piston rod 604 to move upward. The alarm 606 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer shell 2. The switch button 605 is installed at the bottom of the alarm 606. During the upward movement of the piston rod 604, it collides with the switch button 605 and activates the alarm 606 for early warning. After the movement, the top of the piston rod 604 contacts the bottom of the switch button 605, reminding the operator to take measures to avoid over-baking and mushy cocoa butter due to excessive heat.
[0028] Working principle: When in use, the operator pours the cocoa butter to be baked into the mold box 505. After the pouring work is completed, the flip cover 506 is closed and the hook buckle 507 is pressed down. The hook buckle 507 is pressed down to lock the buckle block 508, so that the flip cover 506 and the flip plate 504 are fixed. At this time, the staff starts the motor 4, and the motor 4 drives the rotating rod 501 to rotate. The rotating rod 501 rotates along the inner wall of the fixed block 503 and drives the flip plate 504 to rotate, so that the liquid cocoa butter is baked while rotating, which can make the various parts of the liquid cocoa butter more evenly exposed to the heat source, avoiding local overheating or insufficient heating, thereby ensuring baking. The consistency of baking quality is ensured. At the same time, when cocoa butter is being baked, warm gas is infused into the liquid storage tank 602 through the gas pipe 601. The liquid storage tank 602 stores sodium bicarbonate solution. When the temperature is abnormal or rises during baking, the sodium bicarbonate solution in the liquid storage tank 602 generates gas expansion when it encounters heat and causes the piston rod 604 to move upward. During the upward movement of the piston rod 604, it collides with the switch button 605 and activates the alarm 606 to warn the staff that the temperature in the box is too high, reminding the operator to take measures to avoid over-baking and mushy cocoa butter due to excessive heat, thereby maintaining the excellent quality and stable quality characteristics of the cocoa butter.
[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
