Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chocolate processing, in particular to a chocolate drop hardening device. Background Art

[0002] Chocolate can be broadly categorized into three main categories: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate, depending on the ratio of its ingredients and production process. Dark chocolate, known for its high concentration of cocoa solids, offers a rich, mellow taste with a subtle bitterness and sweetness, making it a favorite among chocolate lovers. Milk chocolate, infused with milk or milk powder, offers a smoother, more delicate texture with a moderate sweetness, making it a popular choice. White chocolate, on the other hand, contains no cocoa powder and primarily consists of cocoa butter, sugar, and dairy products, resulting in a unique sweet aroma and mellow taste.

A motor 311 is fixedly connected inside the support arm 310, and the output end of the motor 311 is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 1 320. A belt structure 322 is provided on the outer wall of the drive shaft 1 320, and a drive shaft 2 366 is provided on the side of the belt structure 322 away from the drive shaft 1 320. The outer walls of the drive shaft 1 320 and the drive shaft 2 366 are both fixedly connected to a half gear 333. A support block 330 is fixedly connected to the outside of the hardening device 100, and the outer ring of the half gear 333 is meshed with a rack 340. The side of the rack 340 away from the half gear 333 is fixedly connected to a fixed shaft 344, and the end of the fixed shaft 344 away from the rack 340 is fixedly connected to a slide 350. A spring 1 355 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide 350. A support box 360 is fixedly connected to the right side of the hardening device 100, and a vibration block 370 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide 350.

[0029] Furthermore, drive shaft 1 320 is connected to drive shaft 2 366 through a belt structure 322, and the end of spring 1 355 away from the slide 350 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the support box 360, so that drive shaft 1 320 and drive shaft 2 366 can rotate synchronously.

[0030] Furthermore, two support blocks 330 are provided, and the drive shaft 1 320 and the drive shaft 2 366 are rotatably connected to the inside of the two support blocks 330 respectively, which can provide stable support for the drive shaft 1 320 and the drive shaft 2 366.

[0031] Furthermore, the slide plate 350 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support box 360 . A slot is provided on one side of the support box 360 . The fixed shaft 344 passes through the slot and moves, so that the fixed shaft 344 can move through the slot.

[0032] Furthermore, a rectangular opening is opened at the bottom of the blanking frame 200 , and the vibration block 370 passes through the rectangular opening and moves, so that the vibration block 370 can move through the rectangular opening.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] See Figures 1 to 5On the basis of Example 1, a scraping mechanism 400 is further obtained, which includes a support plate 410, the support plate 410 is fixedly connected to the outside of the hardening equipment 100, the inside of the support plate 410 is fixedly connected to a fixed box 411, the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed box 411 is fixedly connected to a spring 2 420, the top of the spring 2 420 is fixedly connected to a long plate 422, the top of the long plate 422 is fixedly connected to a support column 430, and the top of the support column 430 is fixedly connected to a scraper 433, which scrapes and cleans the conveyor belt of the hardening equipment 100.

[0035] Furthermore, the long plate 422 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed box 411, and movable openings are opened inside the guide plate 500 and on the top of the fixed box 411. The support column 430 passes through the opened movable opening and moves, so that the support column 430 can move through the movable opening.

[0036] During actual operation, when this device is used, the chocolate hardened by the hardening device 100 will first be discharged into the interior of the discharge frame 200, and then the chocolate can be discharged through the discharge port at the bottom of the discharge frame 200 under the guidance of the guide plate 500. The scraper 433 can scrape off some of the chocolate stuck on the conveyor belt of the hardening device 100, and the scraper 433 can push the long plate 422 to move upward through the support column 430.

[0037] During the chocolate discharging process, the motor 311 is started, and the output end of the motor 311 can drive the driving shaft 1 320 to rotate. The driving shaft 1 320 drives the driving shaft 2 366 to rotate through the transmission of the belt structure 322, so that the driving shaft 1 320 and the driving shaft 2 366 rotate simultaneously and drive the half gear 333 to rotate. At this time, since the half gear 333 and the rack 340 are in a meshing relationship, the half gear 333 will push the rack 340 to move downward. The rack 340 can drive the slide 350 to move downward through the fixed shaft 344 to compress the spring 1 355, and the slide 350 It can drive the vibration block 370 to move downward. Since the drive shaft 1 320 and the drive shaft 2 366 are in a continuous rotation state, when the half gear 333 is not in a meshing relationship with the rack 340, the spring 1 355 in a compressed state can push the fixed shaft 344 to move upward. The fixed shaft 344 drives the vibration block 370 to move upward to vibrate and knock the guide plate 500, thereby enabling the hardening equipment 100 to clear the discharge port, facilitating the further development of the chocolate hardening work, and allowing the guide plate 500 to guide the discharge evenly and stably, reducing blockages during the discharge process.
