Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lollipop production technology, and in particular to a lollipop raw material mixing and stirring device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of lollipops, the stirring and mixing of raw materials is a key preliminary step to ensure that the final product has a uniform taste and consistent flavor. Traditional lollipop raw materials mainly include a variety of ingredients such as sugar, glucose syrup, citric acid, food flavoring and coloring. These materials have significantly different physical properties. For example, sugar is a crystalline granule, glucose syrup has high viscosity, while additives are used in very small amounts.

[0003] In traditional single mixing tanks or stationary mixers, the entire workflow is intermittent, consisting of feeding -> mixing -> discharging -> cleaning / preparation -> feeding again. During the discharging, cleaning, and preparation for the next batch, the entire equipment is in a standby state, causing production line interruptions and limiting overall production efficiency. In view of this, this application proposes a lollipop raw material mixing device based on the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a lollipop ingredient mixing device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A lollipop ingredient mixing device includes a cover and two tanks symmetrically distributed below the cover. A platform is provided below each tank, and a lifting device is provided on the upper surface of the platform. An installation platform is fixedly installed at the output end of the lifting device, and a machine box is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the installation platform. A station switching component is provided between the machine box and the tanks. A column is fixedly installed on one side of the cover and is fixedly connected to the platform. A mixing component is provided on the cover.

[0007] The workstation switching component includes a rotating column rotatably mounted at the bottom of the chassis. A rotary motor is fixedly installed inside the chassis, and a drive gear is fixedly installed at the output end of the rotary motor. A driven gear is fixedly installed outside the rotating column, and the driven gear meshes with the drive gear. A connecting plate is fixedly installed at the top of the rotating column. A first fixing plate is fixedly installed at one end of the connecting plate. A discharge component is provided between the first fixing plate and the tank body. A second fixing plate is fixedly installed at the other end of the connecting plate. Both the first fixing plate and the second fixing plate are rotatably connected to the tank body via a rotating shaft.

[0008] The tank has an internal cavity, and a heating tube is fixedly installed inside the cavity.

[0009] Furthermore, a docking groove is provided on the outer side of the top of the tank, and a skirt is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the cover.

[0010] Furthermore, a sealing ring is fixedly installed on the inner side of the skirt.

[0011] Furthermore, the stirring assembly includes a mounting bracket fixedly installed on the top of the cover, a stirring motor fixedly installed on the mounting bracket, a stirring shaft fixedly installed at the output end of the stirring motor, an inclined rod fixedly installed at the bottom of the stirring shaft, and mixing plates fixedly installed at both ends of the inclined rod.

[0012] Furthermore, a bushing is fixedly installed on the outside of the stirring shaft, a scraper is fixedly installed on one side of the bushing and the scraper is located above the mixing plate, and a temperature sensor is fixedly installed on the other side of the bushing. The temperature sensor is electrically connected to an external controller, and the controller adjusts the heating temperature of the heating tube through a power regulator.

[0013] Furthermore, the unloading assembly includes a bracket fixedly mounted on a first fixed plate, a worm gear rotatably mounted on the bracket, a worm wheel rotatably mounted on one side of the first fixed plate, the worm wheel meshing with the worm gear, the worm wheel being fixedly connected to the tank body via a rotating shaft, and a handwheel fixedly mounted on one end of the worm gear.

[0014] Furthermore, the lifting device is a hydraulic cylinder.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner wall of the tank is made of stainless steel.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] 1. This utility model, through the setting of a workstation switching component, initially positions two tanks on opposite sides below a cover. Raw materials are added to one tank, which is then rotated by a rotary motor driving a drive gear and a driven gear, which in turn rotates a rotating column 90 degrees. The tank containing the raw materials is then rotated to directly below the cover. A lifting device drives the mounting platform to rise, bringing the tank closer to the cover until they are aligned. Subsequently, the stirring component is activated to mix the lollipop ingredients in the tank. During this mixing period, raw materials can be added to the other tank. After mixing is complete, the tanks descend to their initial height and are then rotated 90 degrees again by the rotary motor. The tank that was initially mixing moves to an auxiliary workstation, while the other tank moves into the mixing workstation directly below the cover. The lifting device is activated again, raising the tank and aligning it with the cover. The stirring component then begins mixing a new batch of raw materials in the other tank.

[0018] 2. This utility model incorporates a stirring assembly, a temperature sensor, and a scraper. During mixing, the stirring motor drives the stirring shaft and mixing plate to rotate and flip the raw materials. Simultaneously, the temperature sensor monitors the temperature of the raw materials inside the tank in real time. When the actual temperature is lower than the target temperature, the controller commands the power regulator to increase the power supply to the heating element to heat it. When the actual temperature approaches or reaches the target temperature, the controller reduces the power supply or even temporarily shuts off the heating element, utilizing the residual heat of the raw materials to maintain stability and prevent temperature overshoot. Meanwhile, the scraper continuously scrapes the inner wall of the upper edge of the tank during the stirring process to prevent localized scorching of the raw materials.

[0019] 3. This utility model, by setting up a discharge assembly, when the mixed tank rotates to the auxiliary station, drives the worm and worm wheel through the handwheel, causing the worm wheel to tilt the entire tank, thereby pouring out the mixed raw materials inside the tank, thus realizing material discharge.

[0030] The tank body 2 has a cavity 15 inside, and a heating tube 16 is fixedly installed inside the cavity 15;

[0031] In the initial state, the two tanks 2 are located on opposite sides of the cover 1. Raw materials are put into one of the tanks 2. The tank 2 is driven by the drive gear 10 and driven gear 11 to rotate via the rotary motor 9, which in turn drives the rotating column 8 to rotate 90 degrees. The tank 2 containing raw materials is then rotated to be directly below the cover 1. The lifting device 4 drives the mounting platform 5 to rise, and the tank 2 moves closer to the cover 1 until the two are connected. Then, the stirring component is started to stir and mix the lollipop raw materials in the tank 2. During the mixing period, raw materials can be put into the other tank 2. After the mixing is completed, the tank 2 is lowered to the initial height and then rotated 90 degrees again by the rotary motor 9. The tank 2 that was originally being mixed is moved to the auxiliary station, and the other tank 2 is moved into the mixing station directly below the cover 1. The lifting device 4 is started again to raise the tank 2 and connect it with the cover 1. The stirring component then begins to mix a new batch of raw materials in the other tank 2, and the heating tube 16 in the cavity 15 provides auxiliary heating for the raw materials.

The temperature sensor 27 is electrically connected to an external controller, and the controller adjusts the heating temperature of the heating tube 16 through a power regulator.

[0036] Temperature sensor 27 monitors the temperature of the raw material in tank 2 in real time. When the actual temperature is lower than the target temperature, the controller will command the power regulator to increase the power supply to the heating tube 16 to heat it. When the actual temperature is close to or reaches the target temperature, the controller will reduce the power supply or even temporarily shut off the heating tube 16 to use the residual heat of the raw material to maintain stability and prevent temperature overshoot. Meanwhile, scraper 26 continuously scrapes the inner wall of the upper edge of tank 2 during the stirring process to prevent the raw material from scorching locally.

[0038] When the mixed tank 2 is rotated to the auxiliary station, the worm 29 and worm wheel 30 are driven by the handwheel 31, causing the worm wheel 30 to tilt the entire tank 2, thereby pouring out the mixed raw materials in the tank 2 to achieve material discharge.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 Specifically, the lifting device 4 is a hydraulic cylinder.

[0040] Specifically: the inner wall of the tank 2 is made of stainless steel.

[0041] Working principle: In the initial state, the two tanks 2 are located on both sides of the cover 1. The raw materials are put into one of the tanks 2. The tank 2 is driven by the drive gear 10 and driven gear 11 to rotate through the rotary motor 9, which in turn drives the rotating column 8 to rotate 90 degrees. The tank 2 containing the raw materials is then rotated to the bottom of the cover 1. The lifting device 4 drives the mounting platform 5 to rise, and the tank 2 moves closer to the cover 1 until the two are connected. Then, the stirring component is started to stir and mix the lollipop raw materials in the tank 2. During the mixing period, raw materials can be put into the other tank 2. After the mixing is completed, the tank 2 is lowered to the initial height and then rotated 90 degrees by the rotary motor 9. The tank 2 that was originally mixing is moved to the auxiliary station, and the other tank 2 is moved into the mixing station directly under the cover 1. The lifting device 4 is started again to lift the tank 2 and connect it with the cover 1. The stirring component then begins to mix a new batch of raw materials in the other tank 2. The heating tube 16 in the cavity 15 provides auxiliary heating for the raw materials.

[0042] When the tank body 2 is connected to the cover body 1, the skirt 18 and the sealing ring 19 of the cover body 1 are fitted outside the docking groove 17 of the tank body 2, and the two form a closed mixing chamber.

[0043] During the mixing of raw materials, the stirring motor 21 drives the stirring shaft 22 and the mixing plate 24 to rotate and flip the materials. At the same time, the temperature sensor 27 monitors the temperature of the raw materials in the tank 2 in real time. When the actual temperature is lower than the target temperature, the controller will command the power regulator to increase the power supply to the heating tube 16 to heat it. When the actual temperature is close to or reaches the target temperature, the controller will reduce the power supply or even temporarily turn off the heating tube 16 to use the residual heat of the raw materials to maintain stability and prevent temperature overshoot. Meanwhile, the scraper 26 continuously scrapes the inner wall of the upper edge of the tank 2 during the stirring process to prevent the raw materials from scorching locally.

[0044] When the mixed tank 2 is rotated to the auxiliary station, the worm 29 and worm wheel 30 are driven by the handwheel 31, causing the worm wheel 30 to tilt the entire tank 2, thereby pouring out the mixed raw materials in the tank 2 to achieve material discharge.
