Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of gum base production equipment, in particular to a heating machine for gum base preparation. Background Art

[0002] Gum base is a non-nutritional, indigestible and water-insoluble colloidal substance. In the food industry, it is mainly used as the main ingredient of chewing gum and bubble gum, providing chewing, stickiness and elasticity to chewing gum and bubble gum, allowing people to chew in the mouth for a long time. In the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used to make the shell of medicinal capsules and the sustained-release carrier of drugs. It can also be used as an industrial adhesive. The heating machine for gum base preparation is a device that heats related materials during the gum base production process. Heat is generated by the heating element, and the heat is transferred to the gum base material in the heating chamber by heat conduction, thereby promoting the fusion of the gum base materials and a series of chemical reactions, so that the gum base has a certain elasticity, stickiness, toughness, etc.

[0003] When the gum base material completes the heating and chemical reaction process and reaches the predetermined quality requirements, the equipment enters the cooling stage. Generally, air cooling or water cooling is used to reduce the temperature inside the heating chamber to ensure the stability of the gum base material and facilitate the operator to open the door of the heating machine and take out the prepared gum base material. However, the removed heat is not recycled, resulting in low energy utilization of the equipment and increased cost of gum base production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a heating machine for preparing gum base, which solves the problem of low energy utilization rate of existing heating machines for preparing gum base, resulting in high production cost of gum base, through the arrangement of a water tank, a heat conducting pipe, a water outlet pipe and a water inlet pipe.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] The utility model is a heating machine for preparing glue base, comprising a base and a heating cylinder. A water tank is fixedly arranged on the top of the base. The water tank comprises a first water storage chamber and a second water storage chamber. Both sides of the first water storage chamber and the second water storage chamber are respectively connected with a water outlet pipe and a water inlet pipe. The two water outlet pipes and the water inlet pipe are both connected with a three-way pipe joint.

[0007] The output end of one of the three-way pipe joints is connected to a water pump fixedly arranged on the top of the base through a water pipe. A heat conduction pipe is spirally wound on the outer peripheral side of the heating cylinder. The output end of the water pump is connected to the heat conduction pipe through the water pipe. The output end of the heat conduction pipe is connected to the output end of the other three-way pipe joint through the water pipe.

[0008] The utility model is further configured such that both the water outlet pipe and the water inlet pipe are provided with normally closed electromagnetic valves.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that an outer cylinder is fixedly provided on the base, and a heat-insulating layer is provided in the outer cylinder and sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the heating cylinder.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the outer peripheral side of the heating cylinder is provided with a feed port and a discharge port which sequentially penetrate the heat-insulating layer and the outer cylinder.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a heating rod is fixedly provided in the heating cylinder, a rotating shaft is rotatably fitted on the peripheral side of the heating rod, and the rotating shaft is rotatably fitted with the heating cylinder via a bearing.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a stirring paddle is fixedly provided on the peripheral side of the rotating shaft, and the stirring paddle is spiral-shaped.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that a motor is fixedly provided at one end of the outer cylinder, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The utility model sets a heating rod in the rotating shaft so that when heat is conducted into the heating rod, the heat is transferred to the stirring paddle through the rotating shaft. When the stirring paddle stirs the material, the heat on the stirring paddle can be evenly transferred to the material, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the material.

[0016] 2. The utility model opens the normally closed solenoid valve on the water outlet pipe on one side of a water storage chamber in the water tank and the normally closed solenoid valve on the water inlet pipe on the other side of the water storage chamber when cooling the processed materials, and then starts the water pump, so that the cold water in the one water storage chamber enters the heat conduction pipe, and the heat in the material is transferred to the heat conduction pipe through the outer shell of the heating cylinder and absorbed by the water flow in the heat conduction pipe, thereby cooling the material. At the same time, the hot water in the heat conduction pipe is discharged into the other water storage chamber, and in the next round of heating, the normally closed solenoid valves on the other water outlet pipe and the water inlet pipe are opened, so that the hot water in the other water storage chamber enters the heat conduction pipe, and the heat in the hot water is absorbed by the material after passing through the heating cylinder, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the material, and recycling the excess heat in the heated material, thereby improving the energy utilization rate of the equipment and reducing the cost of gum base production.

[0024] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Specific embodiment 1

[0026] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model is a heating machine for preparing gum base, comprising a base 1 and a heating cylinder 2. Specifically, an outer cylinder 10 is fixedly provided on the base 1, and a heat preservation layer 11 is provided in the outer cylinder 10 and is sleeved on the outer peripheral side of the heating cylinder 2. The outer peripheral side of the heating cylinder 2 is provided with a feed port 12 and a discharge port 13 which pass through the heat preservation layer 11 and the outer cylinder 10 in sequence. The material is conveyed into the heating cylinder 2 through the feed port 12 and discharged through the discharge port 13 after the material is processed. The heat preservation layer 11 is used to prevent excessive heat in the heating cylinder 2 from being lost to the outside.

[0027] Furthermore, a heating rod 14 is fixedly provided inside the heating tube 2, and a rotating shaft 15 is rotatably provided on the side surface of the heating rod 14. The rotating shaft 15 is rotatably provided with the heating tube 2 through a bearing. A stirring paddle 16 is fixedly provided on the side surface of the rotating shaft 15, and the stirring paddle 16 is spiral-shaped. A motor 17 is fixedly provided at one end of the outer tube 10, and the output shaft of the motor 17 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 15. By passing current into the resistance wire inside the heating rod 14 to generate heat, the heat is transferred to the material in the heating tube 2 through the heating rod 14, the rotating shaft 15 and the stirring paddle 16.

[0028] The operating process of this embodiment is as follows: first, the feed port 12 is opened, and the material is poured into the heating cylinder 2 through the feed port 12, and then current is passed through the resistance wire in the heating rod 14 to generate heat, and at the same time, the motor 17 is started so that the output shaft of the motor 17 drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 15 drives the stirring paddle 16 to rotate, and the stirring paddle 16 begins to break up the material and fully mix the various materials, and the heat emitted by the heating rod 14 can be evenly conducted to the material through the stirring paddle 16 to improve the heating efficiency of the device. Specific embodiment 2

[0030] See also Figure 1-3 On the basis of the specific embodiment 1, a water tank 3 is fixedly provided on the top of the base 1, and the water tank 3 includes a first water storage chamber 301 and a second water storage chamber 302. The first water storage chamber 301 and the second water storage chamber 302 are respectively connected to a water outlet pipe 4 and a water inlet pipe 5 on both sides. The two water outlet pipes 4 and the water inlet pipe 5 are both connected to a three-way pipe joint 6. The output end of one three-way pipe joint 6 is connected to a water pump 7 fixedly provided on the top of the base 1 through a water supply pipe. A heat conduction pipe 8 is spirally wound on the outer peripheral side of the heating cylinder 2. The output end of the water pump 7 is connected to the heat conduction pipe 8 through the water supply pipe. The output end of the heat conduction pipe 8 is connected to the output end of the other three-way pipe joint 6 through the water supply pipe. The water in the water tank 3 is driven by the water pump 7 to circulate in the heat conduction pipe 8. Before the device is used, one of the first water storage chamber 301 and the second water storage chamber 302 should store cold water, while the other should not store cold water.

[0031] Specifically, normally closed solenoid valves 9 are provided on both the water outlet pipes 4 and the water inlet pipe 5 , and the water flows in the water outlet pipes 4 and the water inlet pipes 5 are controlled respectively by a plurality of normally closed solenoid valves 9 .

[0032] The operation process of this embodiment is as follows: after the material in the heating cylinder 2 is processed, since the material contains a large amount of heat, it needs to be cooled before subsequent processing. First, stop the current flowing into the resistance wire in the heating rod 14, and continue to maintain the power output of the motor 17. If cold water is stored in the first water storage chamber 301 and the second water storage chamber 302 is not stored, the normally closed solenoid valve 9 on the water outlet pipe 4 on the side of the first water storage chamber 301 and the normally closed solenoid valve 9 on the water inlet pipe 5 on the side of the second water storage chamber 302 should be opened, and then the water pump 7 is started, so that the cold water inside the first water storage chamber 301 is discharged through the water pump 7. The water enters the heat conducting pipe 8 through the water outlet pipe 4, the tee pipe joint 6, the water pump 7 and the water supply pipe. At this time, the stirring paddle 16 rotates continuously, which promotes the heat in the gum base material to be transferred to the heat conducting pipe 8 through the outer shell of the heating cylinder 2 and absorbed by the water flow in the heat conducting pipe 8, thereby promoting the cooling of the gum base material. At the same time, the heated hot water in the heat conducting pipe 8 enters the second water storage chamber 302 through the water supply pipe, the tee pipe joint 6 and the water inlet pipe 5. After the material is completely cooled, the water pump 7 and the opened normally closed solenoid valve 9 are turned off, and the discharge port 13 is opened, so that the material in the heating cylinder 2 is discharged through the discharge port 13.

[0033] When the material is poured into the heating cylinder 2 through the feed port 12 to start the next round of heating, the normally closed solenoid valve 9 on the water outlet pipe 4 located on the side of the second water storage chamber 302 and the normally closed solenoid valve 9 on the water inlet pipe 5 located on the side of the first water storage chamber 301 can be opened, and then the water pump 7 can be started, so that the hot water inside the second water storage chamber 302 enters the heat conduction pipe 8 through the water outlet pipe 4, the three-way pipe joint 6, the water pump 7 and the water supply pipe. At the same time, the heat in the hot water is transferred to the heating cylinder 2 to preheat the heating cylinder 2, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the material in the heating cylinder 2, and recycling the excess heat in the heated gum base material, thereby improving the energy utilization rate of the equipment and reducing the cost of gum base production.
