Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of chocolate production, in particular to a chocolate pouring and molding machine. Background Art
[0002] Chocolate is generally formed in a liquid state. During the production process of chocolate, it is necessary to change chocolate from liquid chocolate to solid chocolate. In the production of special chocolates, especially when it is necessary to produce chocolates with uniform mixing and special tastes, molds are generally used in the market to air-dry the chocolates to a certain extent. There are machines in the market that can quickly form chocolates. However, in the actual use of the existing technology, there are still problems that mold release agents need to be used for chocolate demolding, which will affect the taste of chocolate, and at the same time, the cost of using mold release agents is relatively high.
[0003] The patent number (CN215123988U) discloses a pouring and molding machine for chocolate production and processing that is convenient for discharging materials. By using a food-grade silicone mold, after the chocolate is cooled and solidified at a low temperature, it can be directly pushed out by a demolding device and will not adhere to the surface of the mold, completely eliminating the need to use a mold release agent, effectively ensuring the product quality and flavor, and to a certain extent, reducing the production cost and improving the economic benefits. However, when this device is in use, chocolate residues will adhere to the bottom of the mold. Due to the small volume of the molding groove of the mold, it is very inconvenient to clean the chocolate residues at the bottom of the molding groove, resulting in a reduction in the processing efficiency of the pouring and molding machine.

[0028] In the above structure, when using this device for chocolate casting, first, the chocolate solution is input into the heating box 503 through the input hose 505. Then, the upper electric slider 103 on the side where the casting mechanism 5 is installed is started. The upper electric slider 103 drives the casting mechanism 5 to move above the molding die 407 through the moving mechanism 2. The servo motor 205 on the side where the casting mechanism 5 is installed is started. The servo motor 205 drives the screw rod 203 to rotate through the coupling. The screw rod 203 drives the moving block 206 to move through the thread action. The moving block 206 drives the heating box 503 and the casting head 504 to move between the model grooves 406. The telescopic rod 207 drives the casting mechanism 5 to lift and lower, so that the casting head 504 pours the chocolate solution into the model groove 406. When all the chocolate in the molding die 407 solidifies, the hydraulic cylinder 401 is started, so that the hydraulic cylinder 401 drives the lifting plate 402 to rise through the movable end. The lifting plate 402 drives the connecting rod 404 and the top block 405 to rise. The top block 405 pushes the solidified chocolate out of the model groove 406. Then, the lower electric slider 105 is started. The lower electric slider 105 drives the scraping hopper 106 to move towards the loading hopper 108. The scraping hopper 106 pushes the solidified chocolate into the loading hopper 108. The worker pulls out the loading hopper 108 through the handle on the loading hopper 108 to package the chocolate. When the device needs to be cleaned and maintained, first, the upper electric slider 103 on the side where the cleaning mechanism 3 is installed is started. The upper electric slider 103 drives the cleaning mechanism 3 to reach above the molding die 407 through the moving mechanism 2. Then, the telescopic rod 207 is started. The telescopic rod 207 drives the cleaning mechanism 3 to lift and lower. The rotating motor 302 drives the scraper 305 to rotate through the connecting sleeve 303 and the fixing bolt 304, so that the scraper 305 scrapes the chocolate attached to the inner wall of the model groove 406. The servo motor 205 on the side where the cleaning mechanism 3 is installed drives the screw rod 203 to rotate through the coupling. The screw rod 203 drives the moving block 206 to move through the thread action, thereby driving the cleaning mechanism 3 to move between the model grooves 406. When the device needs to replace the molding die 407, only the bolts between the lifting plate 402 and the bottom plate 403 and between the molding die 407 and the support plate 408 need to be loosened. At the same time, the fixing bolt 304 is loosened, and the scraper 305 corresponding to the model groove 406 is replaced, so as to ensure the normal operation of the device.
