The controller then releases the leftmost vacuum suction cup from the collection tray and moves the cylinder's output upward. Simultaneously, the rightmost vacuum suction cup releases the rightmost collection tray, which is filled with chocolate, for manual removal. After the collection tray collects the chocolate, the controller controls the cylinder's output downward again. Simultaneously, the left vacuum suction cup absorbs the filled collection tray, and the right vacuum suction cup absorbs the manually replaced collection tray.

Then, the controller starts the second motor through an external power supply. The output end of the second motor drives the collecting tray to rotate intermittently. Each time it rotates, the molding slot adjacent to the leftmost molding slot in the clockwise direction is driven to the leftmost position. When the collecting tray stops rotating, the controller discharges a fixed amount of chocolate liquid through the vacuum pump. The chocolate liquid is discharged into the leftmost molding slot. Then, the second motor drives the collecting tray to rotate again. Through the reciprocating process, the integrated chocolate pouring and molding effect is achieved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] like Figure 1 、 2 As shown, a chocolate turntable temperature-controlled depositing machine includes a base 10, with a depositing mechanism 20 disposed on top of the base 10. The depositing mechanism 20 includes a mixing cylinder 201 fixedly connected to the top of the base 10. An inlet 202 is defined at the top left side of the mixing cylinder 201. A vacuum pump 206 is mounted on the right side of the mixing cylinder 201. An input pipe 207 is fixedly connected to the input end of the vacuum pump 206. The left end of the input pipe 207 is fixedly connected to the mixing cylinder 201. A pouring nozzle 208 is fixedly connected to the output end of the vacuum pump 206. A material receiving mechanism 30 is disposed on the right side of the depositing mechanism 20.

[0024] Preferably, a mounting groove 11 is defined at the top of the base 10, within which a heater 12 is mounted. The heating end of the heater 12 contacts the bottom of the blending cylinder 201. During use, chocolate blocks are added to the blending cylinder 201 through the inlet 202. The heater 12 is activated by an external power source, heating the chocolate blocks within the blending cylinder 201 to melt the chocolate. The vacuum pump 206 is then activated by the external power source, sucking in liquid chocolate through the inlet pipe 207 and discharging it through the pouring nozzle 208.

[0025] Preferably, a temperature detector 13 is installed on the right side of the interior of the blending cylinder 201, and a controller 15 is installed on the front of the blending cylinder 201. The controller 15 is electrically connected to the temperature detector 13, the heater 12, and the flow control valve 209. During use, when the heater 12 is activated, the temperature detector 13 detects the temperature inside the blending cylinder 201 in real time and then feeds the temperature signal back to the controller 15 until the temperature inside the blending cylinder 201 matches the temperature set by the staff. The controller 15 then controls the heating effect of the heater 12 to maintain the set temperature inside the blending cylinder 201.

[0026] Preferably, a flow regulating valve 209 is installed on the input pipe 207. The flow regulating valve 209 is electrically connected to the controller 15. Thus, the controller 15 can control the flow regulating valve 209 to adjust the flow rate of the chocolate liquid output at a given time, thereby cooperating with the vacuum pump 206 that is activated for a fixed time to achieve the effect of quantitatively discharging the chocolate liquid.

[0027] Furthermore, a first motor 203 is mounted on the top of the blending cylinder 201. A rotating rod 204 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 203. The upper and lower sides of the rotating rod 204 are rotatably connected to the blending cylinder 201, respectively. A set of stirring blades 205 are fixedly connected to the rotating rod 204. During use, the first motor 203 is activated by an external power source. The output end of the first motor 203 drives the rotating rod 204 and the stirring blades 205 to rotate, causing the stirring blades 205 to stir the chocolate, thereby achieving a more uniform temperature and uniform heating of the chocolate liquid.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 、 3 The material receiving mechanism 30 includes a support platform 301 fixedly connected to the top of the base 10, and the top of the support platform 301 is fixedly connected to a connecting platform 302. The top of the connecting platform 302 is provided with a collecting tray 50 that can rotate intermittently. A group of forming grooves 51 are opened at the top edge of the collecting tray 50, and the leftmost forming groove 51 is located directly below the pouring nozzle 208.

[0029] Specifically, a second motor 303 is installed within the connecting platform 302 and is electrically connected to the controller 15. A connector 304 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 303. A connecting slot 52 is defined at the bottom of the collection tray 50, and the connector 304 matches the shape of the connecting slot 52. During use, the collection tray 50 is mounted on top of the connecting platform 302 by plugging the connecting slot 52 into the connector 304. The controller 15 then activates the second motor 303 via an external power source. The output end of the second motor 303 drives the collection tray 50 to intermittently rotate, each rotation moving the leftmost molding slot 51 clockwise to the leftmost position. When the collection tray 50 stops rotating, the controller 15 uses the vacuum pump 206 to discharge a predetermined amount of chocolate liquid into the leftmost molding slot 51. The second motor 303 then drives the collection tray 50 to rotate again. This reciprocating process achieves the integrated chocolate pouring and molding effect.

[0030] Preferably, a movable groove 305 is provided on the top of the connecting platform 302, and a group of support wheels 306 are rotatably connected to the inside of the movable groove 305 through a movable shaft; when the collection tray 50 is installed on the connecting platform 302, the bottom of the collection tray 50 contacts the surface of the support wheels 306, thereby achieving a supporting effect on the collection tray 50, and when the collection tray 50 rotates, it drives the support wheels 306 to roll, making the collection tray 50 rotate more smoothly.

[0031] Furthermore, a mounting tube 307 is fixedly connected to the left side of the interior of the connecting platform 302, with a heat sink 308 mounted on the top of the mounting tube 307. A heat dissipation slot 309 is defined on the left side of the bottom of the connecting platform 302, located directly below the heat sink 308. When the collection tray 50 is mounted on the connecting platform 302, the left side of the bottom of the collection tray 50 contacts the surface of the heat sink 308. During use, the heat sink 308 is activated by an external power supply. The heat sink 308 absorbs the heat from the chocolate liquid inside the leftmost molding tank 51, accelerating the molding process of the chocolate liquid inside the molding tank 51. As the heat sink 308 dissipates heat, it uses its own fan to dissipate the absorbed heat through the heat dissipation slot 309.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 、 4A component replacement mechanism 40 is provided on the right side of the material receiving mechanism 30. The component replacement mechanism 40 includes a fixed platform 401 fixedly connected to the base 10. A movable platform 402 is slidably connected to the top of the fixed platform 401. A cylinder 403 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed platform 401, and the output end of the cylinder 403 is fixedly connected to the movable platform 402. A rotating groove 404 is defined at the top of the movable platform 402. A third motor 405 is mounted within the rotating groove 404. A cross 407 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 405. A set of vacuum suction cups 406 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cross 407. The bottom of the vacuum suction cups 406 has a collection tray 50 attached to it. The third motor 405, cylinder 403, and vacuum suction cups 406 are electrically connected to the controller 15.

[0033] When in use, the controller 15 starts the third motor 405 through an external power supply, and the third motor 405 drives the cross 407 to rotate 90 degrees to drive one of the collection trays 50 to the top of the connecting table 302. Then, the controller 15 starts the cylinder 403 through an external power supply, and the output end of the cylinder 403 drives the movable table 402, the third motor 405 and the collection tray 50 to move downward, and the leftmost collection tray 50 is installed on the top of the connecting table 302, and the leftmost vacuum suction cup 406 is released from the collection tray through the controller 15. The tray 50 is connected, and the output end of the cylinder 403 moves upward. Simultaneously, the rightmost vacuum suction cup 406 releases the rightmost collection tray 50, which is filled with chocolate, for manual removal. After the collection tray 50 has collected the chocolate, the controller 15 controls the output end of the cylinder 403 to move downward again. Simultaneously, the left vacuum suction cup 406 absorbs the filled collection tray 50, and the right vacuum suction cup 406 absorbs the manually replaced collection tray 50. The output end of the third motor 405 then rotates 90 degrees again to allow the next collection tray 50 to be collected. This reciprocating process achieves a mechanized effect in chocolate molding and collection, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0034] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when in use, the controller 15 starts the third motor 405 through an external power supply, and the third motor 405 drives the cross 407 to rotate 90 degrees to drive one of the collection trays 50 to the top of the connecting platform 302.
