Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of granulation and molding equipment technology, specifically a high-efficiency molding device. Background Technology
[0002] Solid beverages refer to solid products made primarily from sugar, milk and dairy products, eggs or egg products, fruit juice or edible plant extracts, with the addition of appropriate excipients or food additives. Each 100 grams of the finished product contains no more than 5 grams of moisture. These products are in the form of powder, granules, or blocks, such as soy crystal powder, malted milk powder, instant coffee, chrysanthemum crystals, etc. These powdery, granular, or blocky solids are usually produced by solid beverage granulation and molding equipment.
[0003] For example, the national authorized patent announcement number CN207978878U discloses a solid beverage granulation and molding device, including two support seats. A working frame is fixedly connected to the top of the two support seats. A motor is installed on one side of the top wall of the working frame. A drive wheel is coaxially connected to the output end of the motor. A driven wheel is located below the drive wheel. A lead screw is installed inside the driven wheel. One end of the lead screw passes through one side wall of the working frame and extends to the other side wall inside the working frame. The lead screw includes a left lead screw and a right lead screw. Sliding blocks are provided on both sides of the lead screw. Connecting rods are provided at the top of both sliding rods, and the tops of the two connecting rods are connected to a slide rail. The granulation template of this utility model can be installed and disassembled. When different shapes of solid granules need to be produced, only the granulation template needs to be replaced, saving the cost of purchasing multiple granulation equipment. Furthermore, it is easy to operate, has a simple structure, and is suitable for widespread application.
[0004] However, the aforementioned solid beverage granulation molding device requires demolding during the solid granulation process, which increases the number of solid granulation steps. This not only extends the production cycle but also increases the complexity of the process, affecting the overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency molding device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the solid particle manufacturing process still requires demolding, which increases the number of solid particle manufacturing steps, prolongs the production cycle, and increases the complexity of the process.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A high-efficiency molding device includes: a support frame, an extrusion cylinder fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support frame, a geared motor fixedly mounted at one end of the extrusion cylinder, the output shaft of the geared motor rotatably penetrating into the extrusion cylinder and having a spiral conveying rod fixedly connected to its end, the spiral conveying rod being rotatably mounted inside the extrusion cylinder, one end of the spiral conveying rod penetrating through a perforated disc and rotating out, the perforated disc being fixedly mounted at one end of the extrusion cylinder, and a cross cutter fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the spiral conveying rod penetrating through the perforated disc, the cross cutter rotating and fitting against one end of the perforated disc, the cross cutter being able to cut the slurry extruded from the perforated disc into particles, connecting plates fixedly mounted on both sides of the extrusion cylinder, a cooling mechanism fixedly mounted between the two sets of connecting plates, the cooling end of the cooling mechanism touching the lower surface of the extrusion cylinder.
[0008] Preferably, a conveyor belt is installed between the support frames, the conveyor belt is located directly below the extrusion cylinder, and the refrigeration mechanism is suspended between the conveyor belt and the extrusion cylinder via a connecting plate.
[0009] Preferably, one end of the extrusion cylinder is connected to a discharge port, which is flush with the conveyor belt.
[0010] Preferably, the refrigeration mechanism includes three sets of thermoelectric coolers. Each set of three thermoelectric coolers is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting plate. A first copper plate is fixedly connected to one end of the refrigeration surface of each set of three thermoelectric coolers. A second copper plate is fixedly installed on one end of the first copper plate. The upper surface of the second copper plate touches the lower surface of the extrusion cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, a conductive mesh plate is fixedly installed between the two sets of the first copper plates, and multiple sets of first cooling fans are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the conductive mesh plate. The first cooling fans can blow air through the conductive mesh plate and make it sweep on the upper surface of the conveyor belt.
[0012] Preferably, a second cooling fan is fixedly installed at one end of the heating surface of the thermoelectric cooler.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. Through the design of the extrusion cylinder, geared motor, spiral conveyor, mesh disc, cross cutter, and refrigeration mechanism, in the production of solid beverages, the slurry formed by mixing and heating is injected into the extrusion cylinder. Then, the geared motor drives the spiral conveyor to extrude and push the injected slurry to one end of the mesh disc. During the pushing process, the slurry is cooled by the refrigeration mechanism, allowing it to be extruded from the mesh disc. As the slurry is extruded, it is cut into solid particles by the cross cutter driven by the spiral conveyor. Since the cross cutter is driven to rotate by the spiral conveyor, it further... The extruded slurry can be cut into solid particles of equal length and cooled before extrusion. This allows the components in the slurry to remain more stable during the extrusion process, reducing the possibility of deformation or breakage. As a result, the final solid particles are more regular and complete in shape. The cut solid particles fall through the discharge port onto the upper surface of the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt moves along, the solid particles are transported again to the lower end of the cooling mechanism for secondary cooling and shaping, forming a continuous production process. This continuity helps improve production efficiency and reduce downtime and adjustment time during the production process.
[0015] 2. Through the design of the thermoelectric cooler, the first copper plate, the second copper plate, the conductive mesh plate, and the first cooling fan, during the extrusion of the slurry by the screw conveyor, the cooling surface of the thermoelectric cooler conducts heat to the first copper plate, which in turn conducts heat to the second copper plate, which in turn conducts heat to the extrusion cylinder. This allows the screw conveyor to be cooled during the slurry extrusion process. Cooling the extruded slurry helps to keep the components in the slurry more stably together during extrusion, reducing the possibility of deformation or breakage, thus resulting in more regular and complete solid particles. The cut solid particles fall through the discharge port onto the upper surface of the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt moves, the solid particles are transported again to the lower end of the conductive mesh plate. The conductive mesh plate is cooled by the conduction of the first copper plate, and the first cooling fan installed above the conductive mesh plate blows air through the conductive mesh plate and cools it. This cool air then sweeps across the surface of the solid particles for secondary cooling and shaping. Secondary cooling further consolidates the shape of the particles, making their structure more stable and helping to maintain the integrity of the particles in subsequent processing such as packaging and transportation.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 This embodiment provides the following technical solution:
[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a high-efficiency molding device includes: a support frame 1, an extrusion cylinder 101 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support frame 1, a reduction motor 103 fixedly mounted on one end of the extrusion cylinder 101, the output shaft of the reduction motor 103 rotatably passing through the extrusion cylinder 101 and having a spiral conveying rod 105 fixedly connected to its end, so that the spiral conveying rod 105 is rotatably mounted inside the extrusion cylinder 101, and one end of the spiral conveying rod 105 passes through and rotates out from a perforated plate 106, the perforated plate 106 is fixedly mounted inside the extrusion cylinder 101, and a cross cutter 107 is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the spiral conveying rod 105 passing through the perforated plate 106, the cross cutter 107 rotatably adhering to one end of the perforated plate 106, so that the cross cutter 107 can cut the slurry extruded from the perforated plate 106 into particles, connecting plates 108 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the extrusion cylinder 101, and a cooling mechanism 2 is fixedly mounted between the two sets of connecting plates 108, the cooling end of the cooling mechanism 2 touching the lower surface of the extrusion cylinder 101.
[0024] A conveyor belt 104 is installed between the support frames 1, and the conveyor belt 104 is located directly below the extrusion cylinder 101. The refrigeration mechanism 2 is suspended between the conveyor belt 104 and the extrusion cylinder 101 via a connecting plate 108.
[0025] One end of the extrusion cylinder 101 is connected to a discharge port 102, which is flush with the conveyor belt 104.
[0026] Through the design of the extrusion cylinder 101, reduction motor 103, spiral conveyor 105, mesh disc 106, cross cutter 107, and cooling mechanism 2, in the production of solid beverages, the slurry formed by mixing and heating is injected into the extrusion cylinder 101. Then, the reduction motor 103 is started to drive the spiral conveyor 105 to extrude and push the injected slurry to one end of the mesh disc 106. During the pushing process, the slurry is cooled by the cooling mechanism 2, which then allows the cooled slurry to be extruded from the mesh disc 106. When the slurry is extruded from the mesh disc 106, it is cut into solid particles by the cross cutter 107 driven by the spiral conveyor 105. Furthermore, because the cross cutter 107 is... The spiral conveyor 105 rotates, which cuts the extruded slurry into solid particles of equal length. Cooling the slurry before extrusion helps to keep the components in the slurry more stable during the extrusion process, reducing the possibility of deformation or breakage. This results in more regular and complete solid particles. The cut solid particles fall through the discharge port 102 onto the upper surface of the conveyor belt 104. As the conveyor belt 104 transports the solid particles, they are transported again to the lower end of the cooling mechanism 2 for secondary cooling and shaping, forming a continuous production process. This continuity helps to improve production efficiency and reduce downtime and adjustment time during the production process.
[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, the refrigeration mechanism 2 includes three sets of thermoelectric coolers 201. Each set of three thermoelectric coolers 201 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the connecting plate 108. A set of first copper plates 203 is fixedly connected to one end of the refrigeration surface of the three sets of thermoelectric coolers 201. A second copper plate 204 is fixedly installed on one end of the first copper plate 203. The upper surface of the second copper plate 204 touches the lower surface of the extrusion cylinder 101.
[0028] A conductive mesh plate 205 is fixedly installed between the two sets of first copper plates 203. Multiple sets of first cooling fans 206 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the conductive mesh plate 205. The first cooling fans 206 can blow air through the conductive mesh plate 205 and make it sweep on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 104.
[0029] A second cooling fan 202 is fixedly installed at one end of the heating surface of the thermoelectric cooler 201.
[0030] Through the design of the thermoelectric cooler 201, the first copper plate 203, the second copper plate 204, the conductive mesh plate 205, and the first cooling fan 206, during the extrusion of the slurry by the screw conveyor 105, the cooling surface of the thermoelectric cooler 201 conducts heat to the first copper plate 203, which in turn conducts heat to the second copper plate 204, which in turn conducts heat to the extrusion cylinder 101. This allows the screw conveyor 105 to be cooled during the slurry extrusion process. Cooling the extruded slurry helps the components in the slurry to remain more stably bound together during extrusion, reducing the possibility of deformation or breakage, thus resulting in more stable final solid particle shapes. The cut solid particles, once regular and intact, fall through the discharge port 102 onto the upper surface of the conveyor belt 104. As the conveyor belt 104 continues to transport the solid particles, they are transported again to the lower end of the conductive mesh plate 205. The conductive mesh plate 205 is cooled by the conduction of the first copper plate 203, allowing the first cooling fan 206 installed above the conductive mesh plate 205 to blow air through the conductive mesh plate 205 and cool it. This cool air then sweeps across the surface of the solid particles for secondary cooling and shaping. Secondary cooling further consolidates the shape of the particles, making their structure more stable and helping to maintain their integrity during subsequent processing such as packaging and transportation.
[0031] Based on the above technical solution, the working steps of this solution are summarized as follows: When producing solid beverages, the slurry formed by mixing and heating is injected into the extrusion cylinder 101. Then, the reduction motor 103 is started to drive the screw conveyor 105 to extrude and push the injected slurry to one end of the mesh disc 106. During the pushing process, the cooling surface of the thermoelectric cooler 201 conducts heat to the first copper plate 203, which in turn conducts heat to the second copper plate 204. The second copper plate 204 then conducts heat to the extrusion cylinder 101, thereby cooling the screw conveyor 105 during the slurry extrusion process. The cooled slurry is then extruded from the mesh disc 106, where it is cut into solid particles by the cross-cutting blade 107 driven by the screw conveyor 105. The cross cutter 107 is driven to rotate by the spiral conveyor rod 105, which can cut the extruded slurry into solid particles of equal length. The cut solid particles fall through the discharge port 102 onto the upper surface of the conveyor belt 104. As the conveyor belt 104 conveys, the solid particles are transported to the lower end of the conductive mesh plate 205. The conductive mesh plate 205 is cooled by the first copper plate 203, and the first cooling fan 206 installed above the conductive mesh plate 205 blows air through the conductive mesh plate 205 and cools it. The cold air is then blown onto the surface of the solid particles to perform secondary cooling and shaping. Secondary cooling can further consolidate the shape of the particles, making their structure more stable and helping to maintain the integrity of the particles in subsequent processing such as packaging and transportation.
[0032] In summary, by integrating cooling throughout the entire production process, from slurry extrusion to particle cutting and secondary cooling, each step works in tandem to form a continuous production flow. This continuity helps improve production efficiency and reduce downtime and adjustment time during production.
