Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a chocolate coating machine with uniform coating. Background Art

[0002] Nowadays, there are more and more types of food and many flavors. In order to enhance the taste of some foods, some foods are coated with a layer of chocolate, such as chocolate beans, chocolate bars, pralines and bread. The main thing is to use a chocolate coating machine to melt the chocolate and evenly spread it on the surface of the food to be processed, and then solidify the chocolate to obtain a food coated with chocolate, which enriches the taste of the food.

[0003] Since the chocolate in the chocolate coating machine may clump, an agitator is added inside the chocolate coating machine. After searching, the Chinese patent CN214509304U is named a chocolate coating machine with uniform coating. The agitator solves the problem of uneven coating caused by partial agglomeration of chocolate in the chocolate coating machine. However, it is found that the thickness of the chocolate layer output by the chocolate coating machine cannot be freely controlled during use. It is difficult to freely adjust the thickness of the chocolate coating according to needs, making it impossible to operate according to different needs in actual production, and its practicality is low.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a chocolate coating machine with uniform coating is a problem that those skilled in the art need to solve urgently. Utility Model Content

The coating box is sleeved on one end of the conveyor belt body. A chocolate chamber is provided at the top of the coating box. A chocolate collecting chamber is provided at the bottom of the coating box below the conveyor belt body. A chocolate guide plate is provided inside the coating box.

[0007] The regulating assembly includes a sealing plate for controlling the thickness of the chocolate discharge.

[0008] The adjustment component also includes a telescopic cylinder, a fixed plate and a guide elastic component. The fixed plate is fixed on the inner wall of the coating box and is parallel to the chocolate guide plate. The sealing plate is located between the fixed plate and the chocolate guide plate. A middle hole is provided in the middle position of the fixed plate. The telescopic cylinder is fixed to the position of the upper surface of the fixed plate corresponding to the middle hole. An extrusion rod is fixed on the output shaft of the telescopic cylinder. The extrusion rod passes through the middle hole and fits on the upper surface of the sealing plate. The end face of the sealing plate moves inside the limiting guide seat. An elastic hole is provided on the upper surface of the fixed plate away from the middle hole. One end of the guide elastic component is fixed to the upper surface of the sealing plate, and the other end of the guide elastic component passes through the elastic hole and extends to the top of the fixed plate.

[0009] The side surface of the sealing plate is movable with a limiting guide seat, which is arranged on the side surface of the inner wall of the coating box.

[0010] There are two groups of guide elastic components, and the two groups of guide elastic components are axially symmetrically arranged on the fixed plate with the middle hole as the symmetry axis. The guide elastic components include a guide rod, a limit block and a spring component. One end of the guide rod is fixed to the top of the sealing plate, and the other end of the guide rod extends to the top of the elastic hole after passing through the elastic hole. The limit block is fixed at one end of the guide rod above the elastic hole, and the spring component is movably sleeved on the surface of the guide rod and is located between the limit block and the fixed plate.

[0011] The inside of the coating box is rotatably connected to a stirring shaft on the side close to the sealing plate away from the conveyor belt body. The stirring shaft is parallel to the sealing plate. A driving motor is provided on the side of the coating box, and the output shaft of the driving motor is fixed to the end face of the stirring shaft.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] By setting an adjustment component, the adjustment component can be moved to adjust the distance between the sealing plate and the chocolate guide plate, thereby adjusting the thickness of the chocolate discharge. It can be freely adjusted according to actual production conditions, solving the problem that the chocolate coating thickness in the chocolate coating machine in the prior art cannot be freely controlled.

[0014] By setting a stirring shaft and a driving motor, the stirring shaft stirs the chocolate liquid staying at the sealing plate position, so that the chocolate liquid at this position can flow out stably and evenly from between the sealing plate and the chocolate guide plate, and also avoids chocolate agglomeration at this position that affects the discharge.
