Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chocolate processing, in particular to a cutting and embossing mechanism for chocolate production. Background Art

[0002] Chocolate is made through grinding, heating, stirring, maturing, cooling and molding. Its main ingredients are cocoa powder, cocoa butter, milk powder, sucrose and lecithin. In order to diversify the forms of chocolate, manufacturers usually use molds. The chocolate heated to a molten state is poured into a mold cavity of a specific shape. After the chocolate is cooled and formed, it is taken out and the chocolate with the same shape as the mold cavity is formed. The shape of the chocolate mold cavity plays a crucial role in the shape of the formed chocolate.

[0003] Currently, chocolate is poured into a mold cavity of a specific shape and cannot be taken out until the chocolate is cooled and formed, which affects the efficiency of chocolate processing.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to design a cutting and embossing mechanism for chocolate production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a cutting and embossing mechanism for chocolate production.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned and other related purposes, the present invention provides a technical solution: a slitting and embossing mechanism for chocolate production, comprising:

[0007] shaft;

[0008] A pressure roller, the pressure roller is sleeved on the rotating shaft and is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, and the surface of the pressure roller is provided with an annular cutter head;

[0009] An embossing block is arranged on the inner side of the annular cutter head and is elastically connected to the pressing roller.

[0010] The preferred technical solution is that the annular cutter head is constructed in a square structure, a circular structure, or a star structure.

[0011] The preferred technical solution is that the embossing block matches the shape of the annular cutter head.

[0012] The preferred technical solution is: a pattern is provided on the bottom side of the embossing block, a return spring is provided between the embossing block and the pressing roller, the return spring is arranged along the radial direction of the rotating shaft, one end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the top side of the embossing block, and the other end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the pressing roller.

[0013] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] The utility model provides a slitting and embossing mechanism for chocolate production. Compared with traditional chocolate molds, it can realize hot demoulding of chocolate. Compared with the current process of pouring molten chocolate into the mold cavity and waiting for the chocolate to cool and form before taking it out, it greatly improves the efficiency of chocolate processing, improves market competitiveness, and is suitable for promotion and use. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0015] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the slitting and embossing mechanism involved in the utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. People familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.

[0017] See also Figure 1 . It should be noted that in the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inside", "outside" and the like indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientations or positional relationships in which the utility model product is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model. In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third" and the like are only used to distinguish the description, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance. Terms such as "horizontal", "vertical", and "overhanging" do not mean that the components are required to be absolutely horizontal or overhanging, but can be slightly tilted. For example, "horizontal" only means that its direction is more horizontal than "vertical", and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but can be slightly tilted.

[0018] It should also be noted that, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections, direct connections, indirect connections via an intermediate medium, and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0019] Example:

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, according to an overall technical concept of the present invention, a cutting and embossing mechanism for chocolate production is provided, comprising:

[0021] Shaft 1;

[0022] A pressure roller 2 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 1 and is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 1. An annular cutter head 3 is provided on the surface of the pressure roller 2;

[0023] The embossing block 4 is arranged on the inner side of the annular cutter head 3 and is elastically connected to the pressing roller 2.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the annular cutter head 3 is configured as a square structure, a circular structure, or a star structure.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the embossing block 4 matches the shape of the annular cutter head 3 .

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a pattern 41 is provided on the bottom side of the embossing block 4, and a return spring 5 is provided between the embossing block 4 and the pressing roller 2. The return spring 5 is arranged along the radial direction of the rotating shaft 1, and one end of the return spring 5 is fixedly connected to the top side of the embossing block 4, and the other end of the return spring 5 is fixedly connected to the pressing roller 3.

[0027] During use, molten chocolate is spread flat on a workbench. Once it cools slightly and forms a sheet with elasticity, roller 2 is pressed against the surface of the chocolate and rolled. Ring-shaped cutter head 3 cuts the chocolate into blocks. During this process, the top surface of the chocolate block contacts the bottom surface of embossing block 4, and the pattern on embossing block 4 is pressed onto the chocolate block. As roller 2 rotates, return spring 5 returns from a compressed state to a normal state. During this process, embossing block 4 can release the chocolate block from the mold, preventing it from adhering to the inner ring of ring-shaped cutter head 3.

[0028] Therefore, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0029] The utility model provides a slitting and embossing mechanism for chocolate production. Compared with traditional chocolate molds, it can realize hot demoulding of chocolate. Compared with the current process of pouring molten chocolate into the mold cavity and waiting for the chocolate to cool and form before taking it out, it greatly improves the efficiency of chocolate processing, improves market competitiveness, and is suitable for promotion and use.

[0030] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concepts disclosed herein are intended to be covered by the claims of the present invention.
