Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of candy processing, in particular to a leveling device for a material tray in soft candy processing. Background Technique

[0002] A candy production line is an assembly line for producing candies. The process of making candies includes: preparing syrup, heating, pouring into molds for cooling and forming; stretching and adding auxiliary materials. The sugar boiling equipment is actually a set of evaporation and concentration equipment. The function of the heater is to heat the sugar solution to the boiling state with an appropriate heat source and sufficient heat transfer area. The evaporator can quickly remove water from the sugar solution in the boiling state, and the transfer pump stably transports the sugar solution throughout the process to achieve continuous and balanced production.

[0003] In the prior art, since the syrup has high viscosity, generally during production, candies need to be injected into a starch-filled material tray, which can prevent the candies from sticking and avoid contaminating the candies. Before the process of pressing and molding the starch material tray, starch needs to be loaded into a tray. Since the starch particles are small, the static friction between the particles is large when they are piled up, so that when the starch is poured into the tray, it will pile up together and is difficult to spread out actively, resulting in a poor effect of pressing and molding. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a leveling device for a material tray in soft candy processing, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the above background technique.

[0005] The above technical purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A leveling device for a material tray in soft candy processing includes a conveying table for conveying the material tray. A support frame is fixedly connected to the middle of the conveying table. A hydraulic press is installed on the top of the support frame. The output shaft of the hydraulic press extends into the support frame and is connected to a leveling mechanism.

[0007] The leveling mechanism includes a scraper, a sliding assembly and a vibration unit. At least three scrapers are arranged in sequence along the horizontal direction. Adjacent two scrapers are connected by the sliding assembly. The vibration unit is arranged above the sliding assembly.

[0008] The vibration unit is composed of an oscillator and a dial block. An installation groove is opened at the top of the side wall of one of the scrapers. The oscillator is arranged in the installation groove. One side of the oscillator close to the installation groove is connected to the installation groove through a support spring. An avoidance groove is opened at a position of the side wall of another scraper corresponding to the installation groove. A dial block is hinged in the avoidance groove. One side of the dial block away from the avoidance groove contacts the oscillator.

[0009] Further, a pressing part that contacts the dial block is formed by convexity on one side of the oscillator close to the avoidance groove, and a gap smaller than the thickness of the dial block is reserved between the pressing part and the avoidance groove.

[0010] Further, an inner concave connecting groove for connecting the dial block is formed on the inner side wall of the avoidance groove, so that the part of the dial block extending out of the connecting groove is obliquely arranged in the avoidance groove.

[0011] Further, the sliding assembly includes a slider, a chute is opened at the bottom of the installation groove where the scraping plate is located, a slider is slidably connected in the chute, and the slider is fixedly connected to another scraping plate.

[0012] Further, when the slider slides to the bottom of the chute, the bottoms of two adjacent scraping plates are flush.

[0013] Further, two sets of hydraulic presses are provided, which are respectively fixedly connected to the tops of two scraping plates located at the edge.

[0014] Further, a support roller for supporting the conveyor belt is rotatably connected in the conveying table, and the support roller is arranged directly below the leveling mechanism.

[0015] To sum up, the utility model includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. For this soft candy processing material tray leveling device, through the provided leveling mechanism, the starch can be flattened before leveling, and at the same time, the starch is vibrated and dispersed during the flattening process, so that the starch is evenly spread in the material tray, thereby enabling the material tray to maintain the same density in the orderly die pressing and molding process, and effectively improving the strength after starch die pressing and molding;

[0017] 2. For this soft candy processing material tray leveling device, through the provided support roller, when the leveling mechanism presses the material tray, the material tray is supported by the support roller and cannot move downward, avoiding the reduction of force due to the downward movement of the material tray and affecting the flattening effect of the starch, and effectively ensuring the flattening effect of the starch.

Detailed implementation mode

[0025] The following further elaborates on the present utility model in detail with reference to the attached drawings.

[0026] Embodiment:

[0027] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5 A flat scraping device for soft candy processing materials tray disclosed by the present utility model includes a conveying table 1 for conveying the materials tray, a support frame 2 fixedly connected to the middle of the conveying table 1, a hydraulic press 3 installed on the top of the support frame 2, and the output shaft of the hydraulic press 3 extends into the support frame 2 and is connected with a flat scraping mechanism 4;

[0028] The flat scraping mechanism 4 includes a scraping plate 41, a sliding component 42 and a vibration unit 43. At least three scraping plates 41 are arranged in sequence along the horizontal direction, and adjacent two scraping plates 41 are connected by the sliding component 42. A vibration unit 43 is arranged above the sliding component 42;

[0029] The vibration unit 43 is composed of a vibrator 431 and a dial block 432. An installation groove 5 is opened at the top of the side wall of one of the scraping plates 41, a vibrator 431 is arranged in the installation groove 5, and the side of the vibrator 431 close to the installation groove 5 is connected with the installation groove 5 through a support spring 433. An avoidance groove 6 is opened at a position of the side wall of another scraping plate 41 corresponding to the installation groove 5, a dial block 432 is hinged in the avoidance groove 6, and the side of the dial block 432 away from the avoidance groove 6 contacts the vibrator 431.

[0030] In this embodiment, since the starch particles are relatively small, the static friction between the particles is relatively large when they are stacked, which makes it difficult for the starch to disperse actively when poured into the tray and causes uneven dispersion of the starch during subsequent die pressing and molding.

[0031] Therefore, observing Figure 1 and Figure 2 it can be found that a support frame 2 is provided in the middle of the conveying table 1, a hydraulic press 3 is installed on the top of the support frame 2, the output shaft of the hydraulic press 3 extends into the support frame 2 and is connected with a leveling mechanism 4. When the conveying table 1 moves the tray filled with starch to directly below the leveling mechanism 4, the hydraulic press 3 can lower the leveling mechanism 4, so that the scraper 41 of the leveling mechanism 4 presses the starch flat, facilitating subsequent die pressing and molding.

[0032] During the flattening process, the area with a large accumulation of starch is pressed too tightly, resulting in a relatively small starch content in the remaining parts and relatively loose starch, which makes the starch easy to disperse after die pressing and molding, thus affecting the production of candies. Therefore, observing Figure 4 and Figure 5 it can be found that at least three scrapers 41 are provided, and adjacent two scrapers 41 are connected by a sliding component 42, enabling adjacent two scrapers 41 to slide relative to each other. As a result, the middle scraper 41 sinks under the action of gravity, and the middlemost scraper 41 sinks the most. When the hydraulic press 3 pushes the scraper 41 downward, the middlemost scraper 41 will preferentially disperse the starch. Subsequently, the starch is extruded to both sides of the scraper 41. As the remaining scrapers 41 move downward, the starch will be gradually spread out and pressed flat, effectively preventing the starch from being too concentrated and unevenly dispersed in the tray, which may affect the subsequent production of candies.

[0033] At the same time, observing Figure 4 and Figure 5 it can also be found that a vibration unit 43 is further connected between adjacent two scrapers 41. Let the middle scraper 41 be A, and the scraper 41 next to A be B. When A moves downward and contacts the tray, A is supported by the tray and cannot continue to move downward, while B will continue to move downward due to lack of support. At this time, the block 432 in B will squeeze the oscillator 431 in A as shown in Figure 4 . Subsequently, the oscillator 431 is squeezed and bent. As B moves downward, the bending amplitude of the oscillator 431 will increase. When the block 432 separates from the oscillator 431, the oscillator 431 will rebound under the support of the support spring 433 and generate high-frequency vibration, causing the connected A to vibrate, thereby transmitting the vibration to the tray in hard contact with it, making the tray vibrate and shaking the starch in the tray, so that the starch can be spread more evenly in the tray, further improving the evenness of the starch distribution and thus enhancing the practicality of the tray leveling device.

[0034] Finally, after the starch is flattened by the scraping mechanism 4, due to the assembly gaps between the multiple scraping plates 41, there will be a series of pressing seams on the top of the starch. Therefore, after the scraping mechanism 4 flattens the starch, the conveying table 1 directly runs to move the tray out from under the scraping mechanism 4, so as to use the scraping plates 41 to perform the final scraping treatment on the tray, which can effectively ensure the flatness of the starch in the tray.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, a protruding extrusion portion 7 that contacts the toggle block 432 is formed on one side of the vibrator 431 close to the avoidance groove 6, and a gap smaller than the thickness of the toggle block 432 is left between the extrusion portion 7 and the avoidance groove 6;

[0036] An inner concave connecting groove 8 for connecting the toggle block 432 is formed in the inner side wall of the avoidance groove 6, so that the portion of the toggle block 432 extending out of the connecting groove 8 is inclined and arranged in the avoidance groove 6.

[0037] In this embodiment, by providing the extrusion portion 7 on the outer wall of the vibrator 431, an included angle can be formed between the extrusion portion 7 and the vibrator 431, so that the toggle block 432 can squeeze the included angle to bend the vibrator 431, so as to achieve the effect of vibrating and leveling the starch.

[0038] When the vibrator 431 vibrates, the extrusion portion 7 located on the vibrator 431 will also vibrate. Therefore, in order to prevent the extrusion portion 7 from contacting the inner wall of the avoidance groove 6, a gap is left between the extrusion portion 7 and the inner wall of the avoidance groove 6. And in order to prevent the existence of the gap from causing the toggle block 432 to be unable to toggle the vibrator 431, the gap is made smaller than the thickness of the toggle block 432, so as to ensure that the toggle block 432 can stably toggle the vibrator 431 while the vibrator 431 vibrates.

[0039] When the toggle block 432 presses down the vibrator 431, due to the bending of the support spring 433, the vibrator 431 will move away from the toggle block 432, causing the toggle block 432 to separate from the vibrator 431 in advance, resulting in a smaller toggling amplitude of the vibrator 431 and affecting the vibration effect. Therefore, it can be observed Figure 4 that a connecting groove 8 is provided in the avoidance groove 6, so that the toggle block 432 is hinged in the connecting groove 8, so that the portion of the toggle block 432 extending out of the connecting groove 8 is squeezed by the groove wall and cannot remain vertical, so that the toggle block 432 is inclined and arranged in the avoidance groove 6. At this time, when the toggle block 432 squeezes the vibrator 431, it will also open under the support force applied by the vibrator 431, so that the toggle block 432 always remains in contact with the vibrator 431 when the vibrator 431 moves away, until the edge of the vibrator 431 squeezes the toggle block 432 so that it cannot contact the extrusion portion 7 and then releases the elastic force, which can effectively ensure the vibration intensity of the vibrator 431, and further improve the spreading effect of the starch.

[0040] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the sliding assembly 42 includes a slider 421. The scraping plate 41 is provided with a sliding groove 422 at the bottom of the installation groove 5. The slider 421 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 422, and the slider 421 is fixedly connected to another scraping plate 41;

[0041] When the slider 421 slides to the bottom of the sliding groove 422, the bottoms of two adjacent scraping plates 41 are flush.

[0042] In this embodiment, by providing the sliding groove 422 and the slider 421, the two adjacent scraping plates 41 can slide, so that the middle scraping plate 41 sinks under the action of gravity, and the starch is gradually flattened during the downward movement of the entire leveling mechanism 4, ensuring the flatness effect of the starch.

[0043] When the slider 421 slides to the bottom of the sliding groove 422, the bottoms of two adjacent scraping plates 41 are flush, which can ensure the flattening effect of the starch and further improve the flattening efficiency of the starch.

[0044] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, two sets of hydraulic presses 3 are provided, and are respectively fixedly connected to the tops of two scraping plates 41 located at the edges.

[0045] In this embodiment, since there are multiple scraping plates 41 and two adjacent scraping plates 41 can move, in order to ensure the flattening stability of the scraping plates 41, two sets of hydraulic presses 3 are provided and are respectively connected to the two scraping plates 41 located at the edges, so that the middle scraping plate 41 is restricted by the extrusion of the edge scraping plates 41, preventing the scraping plates 41 from spreading, and effectively ensuring the use stability of the scraping plates 41.

[0046] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 2 shown, a support roller 9 for supporting the conveyor belt is rotatably connected in the conveyor table 1, and the support roller 9 is arranged directly below the leveling mechanism 4.

[0047] In this embodiment, since the conveyor belt is elastic, when the material tray is squeezed, the conveyor belt will be pressed down, thus using the conveyor belt to unload the force and affecting the flattening effect of the starch. Therefore, it can be observed Figure 2 that a plurality of support rollers 9 are arranged in the conveyor table 1 and the support roller 9 is arranged directly below the leveling mechanism 4, so that when the leveling mechanism 4 squeezes the material tray, the material tray is supported by the support roller 9 and cannot move downward, effectively ensuring the flattening effect of the starch.

[0048] The embodiments of this specific implementation manner are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model shall be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
