Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pelleting machine technology, specifically to a device for stabilizing the flow rate of flavorings in pelleting machines. Background Technology

[0002] A pelleting machine is a specialized piece of equipment used to produce pellets for candy, cigarettes, face masks, pharmaceuticals, and health products. It is mainly used to produce intermediate materials by coating them with a leak-proof shell to form a spherical shape.

[0003] A search revealed a utility model patent, CN215086916U, which discloses a high-speed pelletizing machine. This machine uses a vibration-type molding method to produce pellets, resulting in high production efficiency and good quality pellets. However, during operation, the stability of the flavoring flow rate cannot be guaranteed, leading to inconsistent product quality. The amount of flavoring applied depends entirely on the flow rate of the flavoring pump. When the flavoring pump malfunctions, it cannot be directly detected; problems can only be inferred from issues with the popping bead product, resulting in significant losses. Therefore, improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for stabilizing the flow rate of flavorings in a pelleting machine, which solves the problem of uncontrollable flavoring flow rate in existing high-speed pelleting machines.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A flavoring flow stabilization device for a pellet-making machine includes a flavoring tank, a buffer cup, and a glass liquid flow meter. A flavoring pump is fixedly installed on the left side of the flavoring tank. The input end of the flavoring pump is connected to the flavoring tank, and the output end of the flavoring pump is connected to the buffer cup. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the glass liquid flow meter, and the connecting pipe is connected to the buffer cup. A second connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the glass liquid flow meter, and a dripper is fixedly connected to the end of the second connecting pipe. A volume adjustment mechanism is provided on the inner side of the buffer cup.

[0007] Preferably, a circulation pump is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fragrance box, with both the input and output ends of the circulation pump connected to the fragrance box. The circulation pump agitates the fragrance raw materials stored in the fragrance box, preventing them from settling to the bottom.

[0008] Preferably, the volume adjustment mechanism includes an internally threaded sleeve mounted to the bottom of the buffer cup via a bearing. A threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner side of the internally threaded sleeve, and a piston is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod. The piston is slidably connected to the inner side of the buffer cup. A retaining pin is slidably connected inside the internally threaded sleeve, engaging with the bottom of the buffer cup. A spring is installed inside the internally threaded sleeve. This volume adjustment mechanism allows for adjustment of the internal volume of the buffer cup.

[0009] Preferably, a sealing ring is embedded in the side of the piston, and the sealing ring contacts the inner wall of the buffer cup. The sealing ring increases the sealing performance between the piston and the buffer cup.

[0010] Preferably, a guide rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston, and the guide rod passes through the buffer cup and is slidably connected to the buffer cup. The guide rod guides the piston's lifting and lowering adjustment.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the retaining pin, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the internal threaded sleeve. By using the spring, the elastic force can be applied to the retaining pin.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model adds a buffer cup and a glass liquid flow meter between the original fragrance pump and the dripper. First, the buffer cup buffers the flow of fragrance caused by the fragrance pump, ensuring that the fragrance maintains a constant flow rate. At the same time, the actual flow of fragrance can be directly observed through the glass liquid flow meter after the buffer cup. When the flow is abnormal, the glass bead of the flow meter will jump up and down, which can deal with the situation in time. This ensures that the problem of the bead bursting is dealt with and resolved in a timely manner. It can also judge whether there is a problem with the fragrance pump by the fluctuation of the flow meter.

[0014] 2. This utility model provides a volume adjustment mechanism within the buffer cup. The height of the piston within the buffer cup can be adjusted by the threaded movement between the internal threaded sleeve and the threaded rod, thereby adjusting the volume of the buffer cup to meet practical needs and eliminate concerns about selecting the appropriate size of the buffer cup.

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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 The flavoring flow stabilization device for a pellet mill includes a flavoring tank 1, a buffer cup 4, and a glass liquid flow meter 5. A flavoring pump 3 is fixedly installed on the left side of the flavoring tank 1, with its input end connected to the flavoring tank 1 and its output end connected to the buffer cup 4. A connecting pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the glass liquid flow meter 5, and this connecting pipe 6 is connected to the buffer cup 4. A connecting pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the glass liquid flow meter 5, and a dripper 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe 7. A circulation pump 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the flavoring tank 1, with both its input and output ends connected to the flavoring tank 1. The circulation pump 2 agitates the flavoring raw materials stored in the flavoring tank 1, preventing them from settling to the bottom.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3A volume adjustment mechanism 9 is provided on the inner side of the buffer cup 4. This mechanism adjusts the internal volume of the buffer cup 4. The volume adjustment mechanism 9 includes an internally threaded sleeve 91 mounted to the bottom of the buffer cup 4 via a bearing. A threaded rod 92 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the internally threaded sleeve 91. A piston 93 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 92 and slidably connected to the inner side of the buffer cup 4. A sealing ring 94 is embedded in the side of the piston 93, contacting the inner wall of the buffer cup 4. The sealing ring 94 increases the sealing between the piston 93 and the buffer cup 4. A guide rod 95 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the piston 93, penetrating the buffer cup 4 and slidably connected to it. The guide rod 95 guides the lifting and lowering adjustment of the piston 93. A retaining pin 96 is slidably connected inside the internal threaded sleeve 91, engaging with the bottom of the buffer cup 4. The bottom of the buffer cup 4 has a ring of grooves arranged in a circular array for the retaining pin 96 to engage. A spring 97 is installed inside the internal threaded sleeve 91; one end of the spring 97 is fixedly connected to the retaining pin 96, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the internal threaded sleeve 91. The spring 97 applies elastic force to the retaining pin 96, preventing the internal threaded sleeve 91 from loosening.

[0022] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: In use, the fragrance pump 3 draws the fragrance stored in the fragrance box 1 into the buffer cup 4. After being buffered by the buffer cup 4, the flow fluctuation of the fragrance caused by the fragrance pump 3 can be basically eliminated, ensuring that the fragrance maintains a constant flow rate. At the same time, after the buffer cup 4 comes out, the actual flow of the fragrance can be directly observed through the glass liquid flow meter 5. When the flow is abnormal, the glass bead of the flow meter will jump up and down, which can deal with the situation in time, thus ensuring that the problem of the bursting bead is dealt with and resolved in a timely manner. The fluctuation of the flow of the glass liquid flow meter 5 can also be used to judge whether there is a problem with the fragrance pump 3. In addition, through the threaded movement between the inner threaded sleeve 91 and the threaded rod 92, the height position of the piston 93 in the buffer cup 4 can be adjusted, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the internal volume of the buffer cup 4 to meet the actual use needs, without worrying about the size selection of the buffer cup 4.
