Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to confectionery processing technical field especially, a kind of surface powdering powder removal structure for confectionery processing. BACKGROUND
[0002] The surface powdering powder removal structure for confectionery processing refers to a device or process flow integrated with powdering and powder removal functions, aiming to improve the quality, appearance and taste of confectionery by precisely controlling the application and removal of powder. This structure typically includes powdering devices, powder removal devices and related conveying and control systems.
[0003] However, the traditional surface powdering powder removal structure for confectionery processing uses the same feeding port for confectionery and powder, and directly pours them in the order of confectionery first and powder second, which easily leads to material accumulation and uneven distribution, affecting the uniformity of subsequent powdering.
[0004] For example, in actual operation, when the operator pours confectionery into the feeding port, these confectioneries often form irregular accumulations inside the device due to gravity and the orientation of pouring. Then, when powder is poured in, it quickly fills the gaps between confectioneries and accumulates above them. This accumulation makes the distribution of confectionery and powder in the powdering device uneven, especially the initial contact of confectionery and powder at the top and bottom layers, which not only affects the efficiency and uniformity of subsequent powdering, but also leads to uneven distribution of powder on the surface of confectionery, affecting the appearance and taste of confectionery. In addition, the accumulated powder may hinder the effective drying and solidification between confectioneries, affecting the final product quality. SUMMARY
[0005] The utility model discloses a surface powdering powder removal structure for confectionery processing, aiming to solve the technical problem of using the same feeding port for confectionery and powder, and directly pouring them in the order of confectionery first and powder second, which easily leads to material accumulation and uneven distribution, affecting the uniformity of subsequent powdering.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:
[0007] A surface powdering powder removal structure for confectionery processing includes a powdering barrel, a support sleeve, and a powder removal assembly connected to the outer wall of the bottom of the support sleeve.
[0008] First dispersing mechanism: The first dispersing mechanism is disposed on the inner circumference of the powder barrel. A first feeding hopper is disposed on the top outer wall of the powder barrel. A mounting plate is disposed on the inner circumference of the powder barrel. A plurality of equally spaced circular holes are opened on the mounting plate. A sliding groove is opened on the inner circumference of the powder barrel. Two sliders are slidably disposed on the inner wall of the sliding groove. A dispersing component is connected to one outer wall of the slider.
[0009] Second dispersion mechanism: The second dispersion mechanism is located on the bottom inner wall of the powder tank.
[0010] In this case, the structure adopts a separate feeding method for candy and powder. Through the first and second dispersion mechanisms, the powder can be more effectively and evenly distributed on the surface of the candy, avoiding the problems of powder accumulation or uneven distribution, thereby improving the appearance quality and taste of the candy. The first dispersion mechanism, through the design of the mounting plate and dispersion components, realizes the batch feeding and orderly feeding of candy. This method can ensure that when the candy enters the powdering tank, it can enter in batches according to the predetermined direction, improving the uniformity of candy distribution and laying a good foundation for the subsequent powdering process.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the dispersing component includes two sliding plates, one outer wall of the sliding plate being connected to the other outer wall of the sliding plate, and the same connecting sleeve being connected to the other outer wall of both sliding plates. A dispersing plate is provided on the bottom outer wall of the connecting sleeve, and a limiting plate is provided on the top outer wall of the dispersing plate. A plurality of equally spaced dispersing holes are formed on the top outer wall of the limiting plate, and the diameter of the dispersing holes is the same as that of the circular holes.
[0012] Specifically, when the candies enter the powder loading barrel through the first feeding hopper, they first fall onto the mounting plate. The slider is driven by electricity to move in the chute, and the slide plate and connecting sleeve follow its rotation, thereby causing the dispersing plate connected to the bottom of the connecting sleeve to start rotating. As the dispersing plate moves, the dispersing holes on the limiting plate and the round holes on the mounting plate coincide in different areas, forming a conveying channel. The candies fall into the powder loading barrel in different areas through the trajectory of the conveying channel, mix with the powder, and improve the uniformity of candy distribution.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the second dispersing mechanism includes a mounting frame and a second feeding hopper. The connecting sleeve is connected to the outer wall of the second feeding hopper via a bearing. A connecting shaft is provided on the bottom inner wall of the powder feeding hopper. A guide plate is provided at the top of the connecting shaft. Screw blades are provided on the circumferential outer wall of the connecting shaft. A motor is externally connected to the bottom end of the connecting shaft.
[0014] Specifically, the mounting frame serves as a support and fixing component, stably mounting the second feeding hopper on the inner wall of the powder feeding hopper. The second feeding hopper is used to supply powder. The guide plate at the top of the connecting shaft is driven by a motor to rotate and disperse the powder, guiding the powder to flow in multiple directions towards the candy, ensuring that the powder can evenly cover the surface of the candy. The auger blades set on the outer circumference of the connecting shaft rotate synchronously, further mixing the powder and the candy, avoiding the accumulation and uneven distribution of powder, and improving the uniformity of powder dispersion on the surface of the candy.
[0015] As described above, a surface powder removal structure for candy processing includes a powder loading bucket, a support sleeve, and a powder removal component connected to the bottom outer wall of the support sleeve. It further includes: a first dispersing mechanism: the first dispersing mechanism is disposed on the inner circumference of the powder loading bucket; a first feeding hopper is disposed on the top outer wall of the powder loading bucket; a mounting plate is disposed on the inner circumference of the powder loading bucket; the mounting plate has several evenly spaced circular holes; a sliding groove is disposed on the inner circumference of the powder loading bucket; two sliders are slidably disposed on the inner wall of the sliding groove; and a dispersing component is connected to one outer wall of each slider; a second dispersing mechanism: the second dispersing mechanism is disposed on the bottom inner wall of the powder loading bucket. The surface powder removal structure for candy processing provided by this utility model has the technical effect of improving the uniformity of powder coating on candy. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and marked in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0023] The surface powder removal structure disclosed in this utility model is mainly used in scenarios where candy and powder are fed into the same inlet and poured in directly in the order of candy first and then powder, which can easily lead to material accumulation and uneven distribution, affecting the uniformity of subsequent powder application.
[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 A surface powder removal structure for candy processing includes a powder loading barrel 1, a support sleeve 6, and a powder removal component 5 connected to the bottom outer wall of the support sleeve 6. It also includes: a first dispersion mechanism: the first dispersion mechanism is disposed on the inner circumference of the powder loading barrel 1; a first feeding hopper 2 is disposed on the top outer wall of the powder loading barrel 1; a mounting plate 10 is disposed on the inner circumference of the powder loading barrel 1; the mounting plate 10 has several equally spaced circular holes 12; a sliding groove 8 is disposed on the inner circumference of the powder loading barrel 1; two sliders 14 are slidably disposed on the inner wall of the sliding groove 8; and a dispersion component is connected to one outer wall of each slider 14; and a second dispersion mechanism: the second dispersion mechanism is disposed on the bottom inner wall of the powder loading barrel 1.
[0025] The support sleeve 6 is set on the bottom outer wall of the powder tank 1, and the base 4 is set on the bottom outer wall of the powder removal component 5.
[0026] In a specific implementation, the structure adopts a candy and powder feeding method with separate sections. Through the first and second dispersing mechanisms, the powder can be more effectively and evenly distributed on the surface of the candy, avoiding the problems of powder accumulation or uneven distribution, thereby improving the appearance quality and taste of the candy. The first dispersing mechanism, through the design of the mounting plate 10 and the dispersing components, realizes the batch feeding and orderly feeding of the candy. This method can ensure that when the candy enters the powdering tank 1, it can enter in batches according to the predetermined orientation, improving the uniformity of candy distribution and laying a good foundation for the subsequent powdering process.
[0027] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In a preferred embodiment, the dispersion component includes two slide plates 9. One side outer wall of the slider 14 is connected to one side outer wall of the slide plate 9. The same connecting sleeve is connected to one side outer wall of both slide plates 9. A dispersion plate 11 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the connecting sleeve. A limiting plate is provided on the top outer wall of the dispersion plate 11. A plurality of dispersion holes 13 are equally distributed on the top outer wall of the limiting plate. The dispersion holes 13 have the same diameter as the circular holes 12.
[0028] Specifically, when the candies enter the powder loading bin 1 through the first feeding hopper 2, they first fall onto the mounting plate 10. The slider 14 is driven by electricity to move in the chute 8, and the slide plate 9 and the connecting sleeve follow its rotation, thereby causing the dispersing plate 11 connected to the bottom of the connecting sleeve to start rotating. As the dispersing plate 11 moves, the dispersing holes 13 on the limiting plate and the round holes 12 on the mounting plate 10 overlap in different areas to form a conveying channel. The candies fall into the powder loading bin 1 through the trajectory of the conveying channel in different areas and mix with the powder, improving the uniformity of candy distribution.
[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, a cover 3 is provided on the top outer wall of the first feeding hopper 2, and four buckles are hinged to the outer wall of the first feeding hopper 2.
[0030] During the production process, the cover 3 can remain closed and is only opened when powder needs to be added, effectively preventing external dust, impurities or other contaminants from entering the powder loading hopper 1, thereby ensuring the safety and hygiene of production.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In a preferred embodiment, the second dispersing mechanism includes a mounting frame and a second feeding hopper 7. The connecting sleeve is connected to the outer wall of the second feeding hopper 7 by a bearing. A connecting shaft 16 is provided on the bottom inner wall of the powder feeding hopper 1. A guide plate 17 is provided at the top of the connecting shaft 16. A screw conveyor blade 18 is provided on the circumferential outer wall of the connecting shaft 16. A motor is connected to the bottom of the connecting shaft 16.
[0032] Specifically, the mounting frame serves as a support and fixing component, stably mounting the second feeding hopper 7 on the inner wall of the powder feeding hopper 1. The second feeding hopper 7 is used to supply powder. The guide plate 17 at the top of the connecting shaft 16 is rotated by the motor to disperse the powder and guide the powder to flow in multiple directions toward the candy, ensuring that the powder can evenly cover the surface of the candy. The auger blades 18 set on the outer circumference of the connecting shaft 16 rotate synchronously to further mix the powder and the candy, avoiding the accumulation and uneven distribution of the powder and improving the uniformity of powder dispersion on the surface of the candy.
[0033] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the guide plate 17 has a conical structure, and a plurality of equally spaced guide holes 15 are provided on the top outer wall of the guide plate 17.
[0034] The conical guide plate 17 can better guide the flow of powder, allowing the powder to be evenly dispersed along the inclined surface of the cone. The design of the guide holes 15 further promotes the dispersion of powder. Some powder can flow out directly through these guide holes 15 and come into contact with the candy, thus optimizing the powder coverage effect.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, a transfer valve 19 is provided on the bottom inner wall of the powder loading tank 1, and a connecting pipe 20 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the powder loading tank 1 near the transfer valve 19.
[0036] By precisely controlling the opening timing of the transfer valve 19, the production process is further optimized, ensuring that the candy enters the powder removal component 5 in a timely and orderly manner after the powdering is completed, thus avoiding production interruptions caused by material accumulation or poor flow.
[0037] Working principle: When in use, open the cover 3 and pour the candy from the first feeding hopper 2. The candy falls onto the placement plate 10. The slider 14 is driven by electricity to move in the chute 8. The slide plate 9 and the connecting sleeve follow its rotation, thereby driving the dispersing plate 11 connected to the bottom of the connecting sleeve to start rotating. As the dispersing plate 11 moves, the dispersing hole 13 on the limiting plate and the round hole 12 on the placement plate 10 overlap in different areas to form a conveying channel. The candy falls into the powder bucket 1 in different areas through the trajectory of the conveying channel. Then, the powder is poured in from the second feeding port. The guide plate 17 at the top of the connecting shaft 16 is driven by the motor to rotate and disperse the powder, guiding the powder to flow in multiple directions to the candy, ensuring that the powder can evenly cover the surface of the candy. The auger blades 18 set on the outer circumference of the connecting shaft 16 rotate synchronously to further mix the powder and candy. Finally, the excess powder is removed by the powder removal component 5.

The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
