Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nougat processing technology, and in particular to a melting tank for nougat production raw materials. Background Technology

[0002] Nougat refers to a type of candy made from roasted nuts and honey, and comes in two types: soft and hard. Soft nougat is white and made with egg whites, while hard nougat is brown and made with caramel, with a firm and crunchy texture. Traditional nougat is mainly produced in Spain, and its main ingredient is roasted almonds, followed by honey and egg whites. The processing of nougat involves melting sugar in a melting pot.

[0003] The technical solution disclosed in Chinese Patent No. CN219422090U, through the coordinated arrangement of a cylinder, a rotating frame, a connecting rod, a connecting hook, a fixed seat, a sliding shaft, and a spring, can completely remove the support, stirring shaft, and stirring rod from the melting pot, making the upper part of the melting pot completely open. This makes the material removal work more convenient, labor-saving, and easy to operate. Through the coordinated arrangement of an electric push rod, rack, gear, nut, bolt, pressure plate, anti-slip pad, and pressure control switch, the melting pot can be automatically flipped during material removal, effectively reducing the labor intensity of the work.

[0004] However, the device still has shortcomings: it lacks a structure to flip the bottom layer of raw materials upwards, resulting in poor heating uniformity between the upper and lower layers of raw materials, which can easily lead to the bottom layer of raw materials overheating and burning.

[0018] Preferably, two ear plates are symmetrically arranged on the cover plate, and two sets of slide rods are symmetrically arranged on the bracket and slidably connected thereto, with the top of the slide rods connected to the ear plates on the corresponding sides.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] like Figures 1-5As shown, this utility model proposes a melting tank for nougat production raw materials, including a base 1, a heating seat 5, a cover plate 9, a lifting drive component, a hollow cylinder 12, a second drive assembly, and a lifting assembly.

A feeding hopper 11 is sleeved on the cover plate 9 outside the feeding hole 92, and a hopper cover is provided on the feeding hopper 11. The lifting drive component includes, but is not limited to, an electric telescopic rod 10. The body of the electric telescopic rod 10 is connected to the support 2, and the push rod of the electric telescopic rod 10 is connected to the ear plate 91 on the corresponding side. The hollow cylinder 12 is connected to the cover plate 9. The bottom plate of the hollow cylinder 12 is inserted into the limiting groove 52 and slidably connected to its inner wall. The outer diameter of the bottom plate of the hollow cylinder 12 is the same as the inner diameter of the limiting groove 52, and the lower edge of the feeding hole 121 is not higher than the upper edge of the limiting groove 52. A hollow cylinder 12 is provided with an inlet hole 121 and an outlet hole 122 communicating with its interior. The outlet hole 122 is located below the inlet hole 121. The hollow cylinder 12 is inserted into the storage cylinder 3 and is coaxial with it. The bottom plate of the hollow cylinder 12 is sealed to the inlet of the discharge hole 53. A fixing frame 17 is fitted on the hollow cylinder 12. The fixing frame 17 is rotatably connected to the stirring shaft 18. A stirring paddle 19 is provided on the stirring shaft 18. The stirring shaft 18 is coaxially connected to the second gear 20. An internal gear ring 21 is provided on the cover plate 9. The second gear 20 meshes with the internal gear ring 21. The second drive assembly includes an external gear ring 13, a rotating shaft 14, a first gear 15, and a second motor 16. The external gear ring 13 is fitted on the outer wall of the hollow cylinder 12 and is coaxially connected to it. The rotating shaft 14 is rotatably connected to the cover plate 9. The first gear 15 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 14 and meshes with the external gear ring 13. The body of the second motor 16 is connected to the cover plate 9, and the output end of the second motor 16 is connected to the rotating shaft 14. The lifting assembly includes a central shaft 22, a spiral plate 23, and a third motor 25. The central shaft 22 is located inside the hollow cylinder 12 and is coaxial with it. The top end of the central shaft 22 is connected to the cover plate 9. The spiral plate 23 is disposed on the central shaft 22. The outer wall of the spiral plate 23 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow cylinder 12. The bottom end of the spiral plate 23 is located below the feed hole 121, and the top end of the spiral plate 23 is located between the upper and lower walls of the discharge hole 122. Several pusher plates 24 are disposed on the spiral plate 23. The body of the third motor 25 is disposed on the cover plate 9, and the output end of the third motor 25 is connected to the central shaft 22.

[0031] In this embodiment, the storage cylinder 3 is tilted appropriately to clean its interior. Then, the storage cylinder 3 is straightened, and the electric telescopic rod 10 is activated to pull down the cover plate 9, causing it to lock onto the upper opening of the storage cylinder 3. At this point, the bottom plate of the hollow cylinder 12 is inserted into the limiting groove 52, sealing the discharge hole 53. The stirring paddle 19 is positioned between the outer wall of the hollow cylinder 12 and the inner wall of the storage cylinder 3. The lid on the feed hopper 11 is opened, and nougat candy is added to the storage cylinder 3. The lid is then closed, the heater is activated, and the second motor 16 is started. The second motor 16 drives the rotating shaft 14 to rotate, which in turn drives the first gear 15 to rotate. The first gear 15 then drives the outer gear ring 13 and the hollow cylinder 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixing frame 17 and the stirring shaft. The stirring shaft 18 rotates around its axis. While the stirring shaft 18 rotates around the axis of the hollow cylinder 12, the second gear 20 at its top rolls in the tooth groove of the inner gear ring 21, which causes the stirring shaft 18 to rotate around its axis as well. The stirring shaft 18 drives the stirring paddle 19 to rotate, effectively stirring the raw materials and improving the heating efficiency and uniformity of the raw materials. When the hollow cylinder 12 rotates, its inner central shaft 22 and spiral plate 23 rotate in the opposite direction to the hollow cylinder 12 under the action of the third motor 25. At this time, the raw materials at the bottom enter the hollow cylinder 12 through the feed hole 121. The raw materials at the bottom rise through the action of the spiral plate 23 and the pusher plate 24 and are discharged from the discharge hole 122, thereby realizing the rapid exchange of the raw materials at the bottom and the upper layers, further improving the average heating efficiency of the raw materials and avoiding scorching. After all the raw materials have melted, the electric telescopic rod 10 is activated. The electric telescopic rod 10 pushes the cover plate 9 up appropriately until the bottom plate of the hollow cylinder 12 is pulled out from the limiting groove 52. At this time, the discharge hole 53 is opened and the melted syrup is output along the discharge pipe 6.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the nougat production raw material melting tank proposed in this utility model, compared with the first embodiment, has two slots 54 symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the heating base 5 about its axis. The end of the slots 54 that are close to each other is provided with a power female plug. The base 1 has two support plates 7 symmetrically arranged about the axis of the storage cylinder 3 and slidably connected to the base 1. The base 1 is provided with a bidirectional module 8 that drives the support plates 7 on both sides to move closer or further apart. The side of the support plates 7 that are close to each other is provided with a power male plug, so that when the bidirectional module 8 drives the support plate 7 to be inserted into the slot 54, the heating base 5 is energized through the cooperation of the power male plug and the power female plug.

[0034] In this embodiment, before adding raw materials into the storage cylinder 3, the bidirectional module 8 is activated first. The bidirectional module 8 drives the two side support plates 7 to slide, so that the support plates 7 slide into the slot 54. On the one hand, the heater in the heating seat 5 is powered through the storage cylinder 3 without external cables. On the other hand, the support plates 7 support the base 5, reducing the weight of the mounting shaft 31. At the same time, this structure can also effectively prevent the storage cylinder 3 from swinging freely.

[0035] Example 3

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention proposes a melting tank for nougat production raw materials. Compared with Embodiment 1, the support 2 is equipped with a first driving component 4 for driving the storage cylinder 3 to rotate. The first driving component 4 includes a first motor 42. Two mounting shafts 31 are symmetrically arranged about their axis on the outer wall of the storage cylinder 3. Both mounting shafts 31 are rotatably connected to the support 2. A worm gear 32 is coaxially arranged on one of the mounting shafts 31. A worm 41 is rotatably arranged on the support 2. The worm 41 meshes with the worm gear 32. The body of the first motor 42 is connected to the support 2, and the output end of the first motor 42 is connected to the end of the worm 41.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the cover plate 9 is raised to the high position, the first motor 42 drives the worm gear 41 to rotate, and then the worm gear 41 drives the worm wheel 32 to rotate. The worm gear 32 drives the mounting shaft 31 and the storage cylinder 3 to rotate, so that the storage cylinder 3 maintains a certain tilt angle, which makes it easier for the staff to clean its interior.

[0038] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
