Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bread production, and in particular to a sugar sprinkling device. Background Art

[0002] During the production process of meat floss bread, the bread needs to be sprinkled with syrup before the meat floss is sprinkled. The added syrup allows the meat floss to stick together, thereby improving the uniformity of the meat floss coating the outer surface of the bread.

[0003] Among them, for the sprinkling of syrup, a sprinkling equipment is usually set on the conveyor belt that conveys bread to carry out the sprinkling of syrup. The sprinkling equipment in the prior art usually includes a storage box for storing syrup, a discharge pipe connecting the pipe to the storage pipe, a control valve arranged on the discharge pipe, and a sprinkling trough arranged below the conveyor belt. In order to ensure the uniformity of sprinkling and the amount attached to the bread, the amount of syrup sprinkled is relatively large. Therefore, the syrup falling into the sprinkling trough below is also relatively large. Therefore, it is usually recovered.

[0004] As the syrup falls into the sprinkling trough, part of the water will evaporate due to the residual heat of the syrup itself. If it is directly recovered through the reflux pipe and then sprinkled, the concentration of the syrup will be relatively high at this time, which may affect the discharge and the uniformity of adhesion to the bread. Therefore, further improvement is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the concentration control of the recovered syrup when it is sprinkled again, the present application provides a sugar adding and sprinkling device.

[0006] The present application provides a sugar-adding and sprinkling device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A sugar-adding sprinkling device comprises a sprinkling trough, a conveyor belt arranged in the sprinkling trough, a sprinkling assembly arranged above the conveyor belt, and a recovery assembly for recovering the syrup in the sprinkling trough, the sprinkling assembly comprising a sprinkling head arranged above the conveyor belt, a delivery pipe connected to the sprinkling head, and a control valve arranged on the delivery pipe, the recovery assembly comprising a recovery pump passing through the sprinkling trough and a recovery pipe connected to the discharge end of the recovery pump, the recovery pipe being connected to the delivery pipe, a float being built in the sprinkling trough, a lifting rod being connected to the upper end of the float and sliding along the height direction of the sprinkling trough, a sensing head being provided at the upper end of the lifting rod, a photoelectric sensor being provided in the sprinkling trough for sensing the sensing head, the photoelectric sensor being electrically connected to a central control platform, the central control platform being electrically connected to a controller, and the controller being electrically connected to the recovery pump and the control valve.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, as the syrup in the sprinkling tank is collected, the float ball is driven to float, so that the lifting rod is lifted along the height direction of the sprinkling tank. When the sensing head set at the upper end of the lifting rod is lifted to the point where the photoelectric sensor senses it, as the lifting rod rises to the point where the photoelectric sensor senses the lower end of the sensing head, the photoelectric sensor transmits the sensing information obtained to the central control platform. According to calculation, the obtained control information and control instructions are transmitted to the controller to respectively control the recovery pump and the control valve. The recovery pump extracts the recovered syrup, and the control valve is used to control the flow rate of the delivery pipe, that is, to reduce the flow rate of the delivery pipe at this time, so that the old syrup and the new syrup are mixed in the delivery pipe to dilute the concentration of the old syrup, and the old syrup is heated so that the fluidity of the old syrup meets the requirements for evenly covering the bread, thereby improving the concentration control of the recovered syrup when it is re-sprinkled. Compared with the concentration control when a large amount of old syrup is recycled, it is relatively easier to control.

[0009] As the liquid level in the shower tank drops, when the photoelectric sensor senses the upper end of the sensing head, the corresponding data is fed back to the central control platform again. Through calculation, the controller stops the operation of the recovery pump and increases the flow rate to the delivery pipe.

[0010] The upper and lower liquid level limits of the sensor head on the lifting rod are primarily determined by production volume, which determines the minute-by-minute consumption. This control ensures that the float fluctuates within the set liquid level. This device also allows for timely recycling of old syrup, reducing the risk of excessive evaporation from old syrup left in the trough for extended periods.

[0011] Preferably, the shower trough is provided with a mounting plate for installing the photoelectric sensor, the length direction of the mounting plate is parallel to the height direction of the shower trough, the mounting plate is penetrated by a through groove for the photoelectric sensor to pass through, the length direction of the through groove is parallel to the length direction of the mounting plate, and the mounting plate is provided with a limiter for limiting the slippage of the photoelectric sensor.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution and providing a mounting plate, the height of the photoelectric sensor can be adjusted according to the concentration of the produced syrup and the required temperature, thereby adjusting the liquid level height of the float to improve the concentration accuracy when reusing the recovered old syrup.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting member includes a threaded ring fixedly mounted on the photoelectric sensor and a second nut threadedly connected to the threaded ring, and two second nuts are provided and respectively abut against opposite side walls of the mounting plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, one of the second nuts is first threaded into the threaded ring, the photoelectric sensor is passed through the mounting plate and moved to a certain height position, and then the other second nut is threaded into the threaded ring and pressed against the mounting plate, thereby fixing the photoelectric sensor at the adjusted height.

[0015] Preferably, the width of the sprinkling head gradually increases towards the bread, the syrup delivered by the delivery pipe flows through the opposite side walls of the sprinkling head, and the width of the sprinkling head at the lower end is greater than the width of the bread.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the width of the shower head is gradually increased towards the bread, which can provide a flow range for the syrup delivered from the delivery pipe, thereby increasing the coverage area of ​​the bread and improving the coverage uniformity.

[0017] Preferably, the conveyor belt is provided with a bracket for mounting the shower head, and the shower assembly further comprises an air blowing pipe connected to the discharge end of the conveying pipe, and the air blowing pipe blows toward the conveyor belt.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, an air blow pipe is provided. Since the air pressure of the air blow pipe can assist in the sprinkling of the syrup, the gathered syrup can be blown away to speed up the flow of the syrup. Combined with the shape of the sprinkling head itself, the uniformity of the syrup sprinkling can be further improved.

[0019] Preferably, the conveyor belt is provided with side bars on both sides of the bread.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, a gap is formed between the two side rods for the bread to pass through, and the position of the bread is calibrated, so that the syrup can be sprinkled on the bread relatively accurately, thereby improving the uniformity of the syrup attached to the bread.

[0021] Preferably, the conveyor belt is provided with an adjusting member for adjusting the distance between the two side rods.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and providing an adjusting member, the distance between the two side rods can be adjusted according to the width of the bread, thereby improving the adaptability of the device to bread of different widths.

[0023] Preferably, a plurality of the sprinkling assemblies are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the bread, and the recovery pipe is connected to a plurality of branch pipes, and the number of the branch pipes is arranged corresponding to the number of the sprinkling assemblies.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, when sprinkling syrup, if the meat floss bread is long, the uniformity of coverage may be limited. Therefore, by providing several sprinkling components, the bread can be sprinkled in sections to improve the uniformity of syrup adhesion on the bread.

[0025] Preferably, the shower trough is provided with a cover for covering the shower assembly.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution and providing a cover, the possibility of syrup splashing outside the sprinkling tank during sprinkling is reduced, so as to maintain hygiene around the sprinkling equipment.

[0027] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] 1. By setting up a float and a photoelectric sensor, the photoelectric sensor transmits the obtained sensing information to the central control platform. According to the calculation, the obtained control information and control instructions are transmitted to the controller to control the recovery pump and the control valve respectively, so that the old syrup and the new syrup are mixed in the delivery pipe to dilute the concentration of the old syrup, and the old syrup is heated to make the fluidity of the old syrup meet the requirements of evenly covering the bread, thereby improving the concentration control of the recovered syrup when it is sprinkled again.

[0029] 2. By providing a mounting plate, the height of the photoelectric sensor can be adjusted according to the concentration of the produced syrup and the required temperature, thereby adjusting the liquid level height of the float to improve the concentration accuracy of the recycled old syrup when it is reused.

[0030] 3. The air blowing pipe is provided. Since the air pressure of the air blowing pipe can assist in the sprinkling of the syrup, the gathered syrup can be blown away to speed up the flow of the syrup. Combined with the shape of the sprinkling head itself, the sprinkling uniformity of the syrup can be further improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0048] Among them, the recovery component 4 includes a recovery pump 41 that passes through the shower trough 1 and a recovery pipe 42 connected to the discharge end of the recovery pump 41. The recovery pump 41 is arranged on one side wall of the shower trough 1, and the recovery pipe 42 is connected to the delivery pipe 32.
