Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chocolate production and processing technology, and in particular to a chocolate quantitative pouring mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Chocolate can be produced in a variety of styles. Some ice creams require chocolate to be injected inside during production to enhance their texture. However, adding chocolate to ice cream is a very complex process. Since ice cream production is done in large batches, if the chocolate cannot be filled quickly, the production efficiency will be greatly reduced. If the amount of chocolate added cannot be well controlled, it will not only affect the taste of the ice cream but also the quality of the ice cream, resulting in inconsistent quality. Therefore, a chocolate quantitative pouring machine is needed.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN210150691U discloses an automatic filling and metering device, including a box body with a working chamber inside. An inlet pipe is provided at the top of the box body, and a metering cylinder is provided at the bottom of the box body. It also includes two sets of rotating shafts and two sets of first motors. Two sets of first support plates and two sets of second support plates are provided in the placement chamber. A first fixing plate is fixedly provided at the bottom of each of the two sets of first support plates and two sets of second support plates. A first threaded rod is provided at the bottom of each of the two sets of first fixing plates. Two sets of third support plates and two sets of fourth support plates are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the placement chamber. Threaded pipes are provided at the top of each of the two sets of support plates. However, in actual use, the overall structure of this utility model is relatively complex and inconvenient to operate.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, it is necessary to design a chocolate quantitative pouring mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a chocolate quantitative pouring mechanism.

[0006] To achieve the above and other related objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is: a chocolate quantitative pouring mechanism, comprising:

[0007] A storage tank for storing molten chocolate;

[0008] A casting tank is provided with a piston that can move up and down. The piston is driven to move up and down by a telescopic cylinder located at the top of the casting tank. The casting tank and the bottom side of the piston form a casting cavity. The casting cavity is connected to the storage tank through a feed pipe. A metering pump is provided on the feed pipe.

[0009] A gas generating device is provided, which is connected to the bottom of the casting chamber via an air inlet pipe, and the air inlet pipe is equipped with a solenoid valve.

[0010] A preferred technical solution is that an electric heating component is provided in the wall of the storage tank, and the electric heating component is used to keep the chocolate in the storage tank in a molten state.

[0011] The preferred technical solution is that the storage tank is equipped with a temperature sensor, and the electric heating component controls the heating temperature based on the temperature signal emitted by the temperature sensor.

[0012] The preferred technical solution is as follows: the casting tank has an arc-shaped bottom wall, and a casting pipe communicating with the outside is provided at the center of the arc-shaped bottom wall, and a cross-shaped opening valve is provided at the opening of the casting pipe.

[0013] A preferred technical solution is that the air inlet of the air inlet pipe is located on the arc-shaped bottom wall.

[0014] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] This invention proposes a chocolate quantitative pouring mechanism that uses a gas generator to pressurize the pouring chamber, thereby assisting the piston in squeezing the molten chocolate out of the pouring chamber. This structure, through air pressure boosting, can completely squeeze out all the molten chocolate, avoiding the problem of molten chocolate residue at the bottom of the can, and can truly achieve quantitative pouring, making it suitable for widespread use.

[0020] Example:

[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, according to an overall technical concept of this utility model, a chocolate quantitative pouring mechanism is provided, comprising:

[0022] Storage tank 1 is used to store molten chocolate.

[0023] The casting tank 2 is equipped with a piston 21 that can move up and down. The piston 21 is driven to rise and fall by a telescopic cylinder 3 located on the top of the casting tank. The casting tank 2 and the bottom side of the piston 21 form a casting cavity 22. The casting cavity 22 is connected to the storage tank 1 through a feed pipe 4. The feed pipe 4 is equipped with a metering pump 5 and a one-way valve (not shown).

[0024] Gas generating device 6 is connected to the bottom of casting chamber 22 via air inlet pipe 7, and solenoid valve 8 is provided on air inlet pipe 7.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of this utility model, an electric heating component (not shown) is provided in the wall of the storage tank 1. The electric heating component is used to keep the chocolate in the storage tank 1 in a molten state.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of this utility model, a temperature sensor (not shown) is provided in the storage tank 1, and the electric heating component controls the heating temperature based on the temperature signal emitted by the temperature sensor.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of this utility model, the casting tank 2 has an arc-shaped bottom wall, and a casting pipe 23 communicating with the outside is provided at the center of the arc-shaped bottom wall. A cross-shaped opening valve 9 is provided at the opening of the casting pipe 23. The cross-shaped opening valve 9 can solve the problem of chocolate liquid adhering to the opening of the casting pipe 23.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in an exemplary embodiment of this utility model, the air inlet of the air intake pipe is disposed on the arc-shaped bottom wall.

[0029] In use, the metering pump 5 delivers the chocolate liquid from the storage tank 1 to the casting chamber 22 in a metered manner. Then, the piston is controlled by the telescopic cylinder 3 to press down and squeeze the chocolate liquid out of the casting chamber 22 through the cross-shaped opening valve 9. When the piston 21 moves to the bottom of the casting chamber 22, the gas generator 6 pressurizes the bottom space of the casting chamber 22 to squeeze out the remaining chocolate liquid, thus achieving metered casting.

[0030] Therefore, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0031] This invention proposes a chocolate quantitative pouring mechanism that uses a gas generator to pressurize the pouring chamber, thereby assisting the piston in squeezing the molten chocolate out of the pouring chamber. This structure, through air pressure boosting, can completely squeeze out all the molten chocolate, avoiding the problem of molten chocolate residue at the bottom of the can, and can truly achieve quantitative pouring, making it suitable for widespread use.
