[0002] The chocolate processing process includes a chocolate drip molding line, which utilizes a drip machine, a drip mold, and conveyor equipment to drip, mold, and convey the chocolate slurry. Traditionally, after the drip machine completes the dripping process, the chocolate slurry is solidified in a mold and then conveyed via a conveyor. This prevents the shaped chocolate from being demolded during the conveying process.
[0003] In the prior art, a chain is used to transport a mold consisting of an inner mold and an outer mold. The chocolate slurry is cooled and formed in the mold, and the inner mold is separated from the outer mold during rotation after transportation to complete the demolding operation of the molded chocolate. In this method, after the inner mold is separated from the outer mold, it is necessary to retrieve the separated inner mold during chain transportation to complete the re-molding of the inner and outer molds. Automatic mold separation and closing operations cannot be achieved, which increases the burden on workers and reduces production efficiency. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 , a fully automatic drip line equipment for chocolate production, including:
[0026] Rack 1.
[0027] The dripping machine 2 is installed at one end of the frame 1.
[0028] The conveying mechanism includes a driving assembly, a lower conveyor belt 7 and an upper conveyor belt 9. The driving assembly is connected to the side of the frame 1. The lower conveyor belt 7 and the upper conveyor belt 9 are both connected to the frame 1, and are parallel and staggered in the vertical direction. The output end of the driving assembly is connected to the lower conveyor belt 7 and the upper conveyor belt 9, and drives the relative parts of the lower conveyor belt 7 and the upper conveyor belt 9 to move in the same direction.
[0029] The molding mold includes a lower mold 12 and an upper mold 14. Multiple lower molds 12 are fixedly connected to the output end of the lower conveyor belt 7, and multiple upper molds 14 are connected to the upper conveyor belt 9. Multiple lower molds 12 and multiple upper molds 14 correspond to each other, and after the two are molded together, the interior forms a mold cavity 15, and the output end of the drip machine 2 is facing the interior of the lower mold 12 below it.
[0030] The driving assembly includes a motor base 3, which is fixedly connected to the side of the frame 1. A driving motor 4 is installed on the motor base 3. The output end of the driving motor 4 is coaxially fixedly connected to a driving gear 5. A driven gear 6 is engaged with the top of the driving gear 5. The driving gear 5 is coaxially fixedly connected to the input end of the lower conveyor belt 7, and the driven gear 6 is coaxially fixedly connected to the input end of the upper conveyor belt 9.
[0031] The lower conveyor belt 7 and the upper conveyor belt 9 each include two rotating wheels 10 and a transmission belt 11 sleeved on the two rotating wheels 10. The rotating wheels 10 are rotatably connected to the frame 1. The two rotating wheels 10 that constitute the lower conveyor belt 7 and the upper conveyor belt 9 and are located at the same end, one is coaxially fixedly connected to the driving gear 5, and the other is coaxially fixedly connected to the driven gear 6. The lower mold 12 and the upper mold 14 are connected to the corresponding transmission belts 11.
[0032] The length of the upper conveyor belt 9 is smaller than that of the lower conveyor belt 7, and the number of upper molds 14 is smaller than the number of lower molds 12, but the spacing between adjacent upper molds 14 is equal to the spacing between adjacent lower molds 12, ensuring that the upper and lower molds can remain corresponding when the upper conveyor belt 9 and the lower conveyor belt 7 move.
[0033] The lower conveyor belt 7 protrudes from the coverage range of the upper conveyor belt 9 on the side close to the drip machine 2 and is set as the feeding position 8, which is located below the output end of the drip machine 2.
[0034] A plurality of slide frames 13 are fixedly connected to the transmission belt 11 constituting the upper conveyor belt 9 , and a plurality of upper molds 14 are slidably connected in the plurality of slide frames 13 in a one-to-one correspondence. A spring is fixedly connected between the upper molds 14 and the interior of the slide frames 13 .
[0035] A guide block 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the upper mold 14, and a guide groove body 17 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the frame 1. The guide groove body 17 is located below the upper conveyor belt 9. The guide groove body 17 is an inverted trapezoid, and the two ends of the internal groove are penetrated. The guide block 16 is slidably connected in the guide groove body 17.
[0036] The operating principle of the present invention is now described as follows:
[0037] During operation, the drip dispenser 2 intermittently drips the chocolate slurry supplied from the outside. The drive motor 4 works, driving the lower conveyor belt 7 and the upper conveyor belt 9 through the drive gear 5 and the driven gear 6. When the lower conveyor belt 7 drives the lower mold 12 to the feeding position 8, the output end of the drip dispenser 2 drips the chocolate slurry into the interior of the lower mold 12.
[0038] The lower conveyor belt 7 continues to move, driving the lower mold 12 containing the chocolate paste to move to the lower end of the upper conveyor belt 9. At this time, the corresponding upper mold 14 moves with the upper conveyor belt 9 to the top of the lower mold 12.
[0039] The lower conveyor belt 7 and the upper conveyor belt 9 continue to move, and the guide block 16 on the upper mold 14 enters the guide groove 17 and moves downward along the trapezoidal waist, overcoming the elastic force of the spring, causing the upper mold 14 to move downward along the sliding frame 13 and close the mold with the lower mold 12;
[0040] After the upper and lower molds are closed, the guide block 16 on the upper mold 14 moves along the horizontal lower edge inside the guide groove 17. During the movement, the chocolate slurry in the mold cavity 15 is cooled and formed.
[0041] The lower conveyor belt 7 and the upper conveyor belt 9 continue to move, and the guide block 16 on the upper mold 14 moves upward along the other trapezoidal waist edge of the guide groove 17, so that the upper mold 14 is separated from the lower mold 12. When the lower conveyor belt 7 continues to move and drives the lower mold 12 to flip, the molded chocolate blocks are separated from the lower mold 12 and the demolding operation is completed. They are then collected by subsequent equipment.
[0042] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
