Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an integrated roller drip irrigation machine. Background Technology

[0002] The drip casting machine is a specialized piece of equipment used for casting small, round chocolate ingredients. Its main components include a conveyor belt, a feeding device, and a casting head. The core of the casting head is a rotating drip casting roller mounted on a support frame, with a fixed feeding pipe at its center. The feeding device's cylinder is connected to one end of the feeding pipe via a discharge pipe equipped with a conveyor pump. Once the conveyor pump is turned on, maintaining a certain feeding pressure ensures a continuous flow of chocolate syrup from the drip holes on the outer wall of the rotating drip casting roller onto the conveyor belt, forming small, round chocolate ingredients. For easy pressure adjustment, a return pipe is usually designed on the feeding pipe to connect back to the feeding cylinder.

[0003] For example, the invention patent application for a roller-type drip casting machine with publication number 117137030A and the utility model patent application for a roller-type drip casting mechanism with publication number 220654652U both specifically disclose the structure and working principle of this type of roller drip casting equipment, which has now been implemented and widely applied in the industry. Compared with the plunger pressurized casting mechanism, the advantage of this roller drip casting machine is that there will be no excess dripping onto the traveling carrier (such as the belt) of the conveying equipment (such as the belt conveyor mechanism), so it will not draw a slurry track on the surface of the traveling carrier and damage the product shape, and the production efficiency is higher, enabling the mass production of raw materials.

[0004] However, in practice, we have found that current drum drip irrigation machines have the following shortcomings in their structural layout design:

[0005] 1. The conveyor belt, feeding device and pouring head are designed separately and are all supported by independent brackets. They lack connection with each other. The material cylinder is arranged longitudinally, which takes up a lot of space, resulting in a bulky and large structure that is not conducive to transportation and display.

[0006] 2. When the equipment is moved, the connecting pipe between the feeding device and the dripping roller often needs to be disassembled and then reassembled, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, causing inconvenience in use.

[0007] 3. The feeding device has too many return pipes for adjusting pressure, which is actually unnecessary. This makes the mechanism bulky, increases the time for disassembly and installation, and also affects the aesthetics. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an integrated roller drip irrigation machine with a compact structure, small size, and convenient overall transportation and display.

[0009] The technical solution of this utility model is: an integrated roller drip casting machine, including a conveyor belt, a feeding device, and a casting head set on a main support. The casting head includes a drip casting roller with a feeding pipe at its center. The feeding device includes a material cylinder. The conveyor belt is also set on the main support and located below the casting head. The material cylinder is a horizontal material cylinder, which is fixed on the feeding support and located below the conveyor belt. The feeding support is located inside the main support and fixed to the main support. The horizontal material cylinder has a discharge port, which is connected to one end of the feeding pipe through a discharge pipe equipped with a conveying pump. The other end of the feeding pipe is closed. At the same time, a return pipe is connected to the discharge pipe and is connected to the return port set on the horizontal material cylinder.

[0010] Furthermore, the horizontal material cylinder described in this utility model is equipped with a heating device and a spiral stirring mechanism. The spiral stirring mechanism includes a stirring shaft supported by bearings inside the horizontal material cylinder and spiral stirring blades fixed around the stirring shaft. One end of the stirring shaft extends out of the horizontal material cylinder and is connected to the output shaft of the stirring motor fixed on the feeding bracket.

[0011] Furthermore, the discharge pipe of this invention is equipped with a tee, a first pressure control valve, and a pressure display instrument arranged sequentially downstream of the delivery pump. The branch interface of the tee is connected to the return port on the horizontal material cylinder via the return pipe, and a second pressure control valve is provided on the return pipe. Similar to conventional technology, by manipulating the opening of the first and second pressure control valves, the worker can adjust the pressure of the chocolate syrup entering the delivery pipe, ensuring smoother dripping from the dripping roller of the pouring head.

[0012] Furthermore, the discharge pipe between the conveying pump and the three-way valve in this invention is also equipped with a filter for filtering out impurities in the chocolate syrup.

[0013] Furthermore, in this utility model, the discharge port is located at the bottom of the horizontal material cylinder, while the return port is located at the top of the horizontal material cylinder. At the same time, the top of the horizontal material cylinder is also provided with a feeding port, on which a feeding funnel is fixed.

[0014] Furthermore, in this invention, the arrangement direction of the horizontal material cylinder is parallel to the feeding direction of the conveyor belt, but perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the dripping roller.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the feeding bracket described in this utility model is provided with several adjustable height support feet.

[0016] Furthermore, both the main support and the feeding support in this invention are provided with several rollers at their bottoms.

[0017] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. Compared with the original roller drip casting machine with separate components, this utility model integrates the transmission belt, feeding device and pouring head on the same main support, and changes the material cylinder to a horizontal material cylinder, which greatly saves space, making the overall structure of the equipment more compact and smaller in size, thus facilitating its overall transportation and display.

[0019] 2. In this utility model, the horizontal material cylinder and its feeding bracket are fixed on the main support below the pouring head, rather than being set independently. They can be moved and transferred together with the main support. Therefore, unlike conventional technology, there is no need to disassemble and install the connecting pipe between the material cylinder and the dripping roller, which reduces the burden on workers and makes operation and use more convenient and efficient.

[0020] 3. In this utility model, the return pipe at one end of the feeding pipe inside the dripping roller is removed, and only the return pipe connected to the discharge pipe is retained. This simplifies the mechanism, reduces the installation time of the return pipe, avoids the bulkiness of the overall roller dripping machine, and improves its aesthetics. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The core improvement of this utility model lies in the fact that the conveyor belt 2 is also set on the main support 1 and located below the pouring head 3, while the material cylinder is a horizontal material cylinder 4, which is fixed on the feeding support 5 and located below the conveyor belt 2. The feeding support 5 is located inside the main support 1 and is fixed to the main support 1. The bottom of the horizontal material cylinder 4 is provided with a discharge port 4a, which is connected to one end of the feeding pipe 301a through a discharge pipe 7 equipped with a conveying pump 6, while the other end of the feeding pipe 301a is closed.

[0035] Secondly, the horizontal material cylinder 4 and its material supply bracket 5 in this utility model are both fixed on the main support 1 below the pouring head 3, rather than being set independently. They can be moved and transferred together with the main support 1. Therefore, unlike conventional technology, there is no need to disassemble and install the connecting pipe between the material cylinder and the dripping roller 301, which reduces the burden on workers and makes operation and use more convenient and efficient.

[0036] Furthermore, in this utility model, the return pipe at one end of the feeding pipe 301a inside the dripping roller 301 is removed, and only the return pipe 8 connected to the discharge pipe 7 is retained. This simplifies the mechanism, reduces the installation time of the return pipe 8, avoids the bulkiness of the roller dripping machine, and improves its aesthetics.
