Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, and in particular to a compact, high-volume candy pouring apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, candy casting machines are an indispensable piece of equipment in modern candy production lines. They enable automated candy casting, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0003] In the prior art, there is a Chinese invention patent with application number CN115405723B, which discloses a high-output, low-maintenance bead casting device, including a frame and a hopper, a dripping component, a piston rod, a valve body, a vertical drive component, and a horizontal drive component installed on the frame. A dripping hole is vertically opened through the dripping component, and the piston rod slides in the dripping hole under the drive of the vertical drive component. A valve hole is horizontally opened through the dripping component, passing through the dripping hole and dividing the dripping hole into two sections. The valve body slides in the valve hole under the drive of the horizontal drive component. A feed hole communicating with the hopper is opened through the dripping component. The valve hole communicates with the dripping hole. A feed valve core hole and a drip valve core hole are sequentially arranged along the axial direction of the valve hole on the valve body and switch their functions as the valve body moves. The feed valve core hole is used to connect the upper end of the dripping hole and the feed hole, and the drip valve core hole is used to connect the upper and lower sections of the dripping hole. This solution achieves simultaneous feeding from both ends by setting material bins on both sides of the dripping component. Furthermore, by replacing the valve body, which slides within the valve orifice, with the valve core structure, the feeding and dripping states of the dripping tube are completely separated, thus controlling the switching between the feeding and dripping channels of the dripping equipment.

[0004] However, the material hoppers in the above scheme are located on both sides of the pouring component, which will occupy a large horizontal space area, resulting in a large overall equipment footprint. In actual production workshops, the horizontal area is limited while the vertical area is large. When the equipment footprint is large, only a small number of devices can be placed in the workshop, thus affecting the overall production efficiency of the workshop. In order to solve the problem of the large horizontal footprint of the pouring device, this application proposes a compact mass candy pouring device. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the issue of large horizontal footprint of casting devices, this application provides a compact, high-volume candy casting device.

[0006] This application provides a compact, high-volume candy-pouring device, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A compact, high-volume candy casting device includes a frame and a hopper, a casting unit, a piston rod, a valve body, a first drive unit, and a second drive unit mounted on the frame. The casting unit is located below the hopper and has multiple casting holes extending vertically through it. The piston rod slides within the casting holes under the action of the first drive unit. Multiple valve holes extend horizontally through the casting unit, dividing the casting holes into two parts. The valve body slides within the valve holes under the action of the second drive unit. A feed hole communicating with the hopper is provided through the casting unit. The valve holes communicate with the casting holes. A feed channel and a casting channel are sequentially arranged along the axis of the valve holes on the valve body, switching functions as the valve body moves. The feed channel communicates with the feed hole and the upper part of the casting hole. The casting channel communicates with both the upper and lower parts of the casting hole. A casting plate is fixedly connected to the casting unit.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the valve body slides in the horizontal valve hole to switch between the feeding channel and the pouring channel, and the piston rod reciprocates in the vertical pouring hole, thus realizing continuous supply and precise pouring of raw materials. At the same time, by setting the hopper, pouring unit and first drive unit in the same vertical direction, that is, the hopper, pouring unit and first drive unit are arranged in the same line, the horizontal footprint of the device is reduced. A pouring plate is also fixedly connected to the pouring unit, realizing large-scale uniform pouring of raw materials.

[0009] Preferably, the hopper is detachably connected above the casting unit.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the hopper can be detached from the casting unit by being detachably connected above the casting unit. When the frame and lifting plate are raised to a certain height, the entire hopper can be removed from the casting unit, making the device more convenient to clean.

[0011] Preferably, any of the feeding channels is divided into a main feeding channel connected to the feeding hole and two auxiliary feeding channels connected to the upper part of the casting hole. Each of the valve bodies is provided with two sets of casting channels, and the number of casting holes corresponds to the number of auxiliary feeding channels and casting channels.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, and utilizing the two feed auxiliary channels connected on any main feed channel and the two sets of pouring channels correspondingly set on any valve body, two sets of pouring holes can be connected on any valve body, thereby increasing the number of pours that the pouring unit can pour at one time and improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0013] Preferably, the casting unit is provided with a first casting area, a second casting area and a third casting area in sequence. The first casting area and the second casting area are each symmetrically arranged with two third casting areas. The first casting area includes two sets of casting holes and one set of feed holes, and one set of feed holes is located on the side of the two sets of casting holes away from the second casting area. The second casting area includes four sets of casting holes and one set of feed holes located at the center of the four sets of casting holes. The third casting area includes six sets of casting holes and two sets of feed holes equally spaced between the six sets of casting holes.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, feeding holes are provided in the first, second, and third casting areas. The arrangement of the casting holes and feeding holes in the first and second casting areas on both sides is relatively sparse compared to the central third casting area, thus forming a stepped feeding network. This allows the raw materials to flow from both sides of the silo to the central third casting area. The equally spaced feeding holes in the third casting area ensure uniform feeding in a large area, thereby ensuring efficient utilization of raw materials and reducing waste.

[0015] Preferably, the casting plate is provided with a receiving cavity and a pouring hole. One end of the receiving cavity is connected to the lower half of the casting hole and the other end is connected to the pouring hole. The casting hole, the receiving cavity and the pouring hole are not collinear. The casting plate is provided with pouring heads evenly distributed on the side away from the casting unit.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the axes of the pouring hole, the receiving cavity, and the pouring hole are not collinear, that is, the axis of the pouring hole is eccentrically set in the receiving cavity, thereby compensating for the gap between two adjacent sets of pouring holes. At the same time, the pouring heads evenly distributed on the pouring plate are used to achieve uniform pouring of raw materials.

[0017] Preferably, lifting cylinders are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame, the cylinder body of the lifting cylinder is connected to the frame and the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder is connected to an external accessory.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting cylinders symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame can drive the entire device to rise and fall. During the pouring process, the pouring device pours the raw material into the mold placed on the factory conveyor belt. After the pouring is completed, the conveyor belt sends the mold to the next processing program for processing. During this process, the lifting cylinders drive the entire device to rise and fall. When pouring is required, the device can be lowered to be close to the mold to prevent the raw material from splashing out of the mold and causing waste. Conversely, after the pouring is completed, the device can be raised away from the mold to facilitate the transfer of the mold to the next processing program.

[0019] Preferably, the casting unit is provided with a discharge hole along the direction perpendicular to the valve body, the main feed channel on the adjacent valve body is connected to the discharge hole, and the two ends of the discharge hole are provided with a removable sealing layer.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the discharge hole is connected to the main feed channel on the valve body, and the sealing layers at both ends of the discharge hole are removable, so that the device can clean up the accumulated material without disassembling the valve body, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the device.

[0021] Preferably, a heating unit is provided between the first pouring area, the second pouring area and the third pouring area.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the heating unit, which is set up using the gaps generated by the uneven distribution of the first, second, and third pouring areas, can prevent the raw material from being cooled and solidified throughout the pouring process.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The material hopper is detachably connected to the top of the casting unit, which reduces the horizontal footprint of the device. The detachable connection also facilitates cleaning of the device. At the same time, the discharge hole is connected to the main feed channel on the valve body, and the sealing layer at both ends of the discharge hole is detachable, which allows the device to clean up the accumulated material without disassembling the valve body, further improving the cleaning efficiency of the device.

[0025] 2. By utilizing two secondary feed channels connected to any main feed channel and two sets of casting channels corresponding to any valve body, two sets of casting holes can be connected to any valve body, thereby increasing the number of castings that can be cast at one time and improving the casting efficiency of the device. At the same time, by utilizing the symmetrical layout and differentiated feed hole configuration of the first, second, and third casting areas, a stepped feeding network is formed, which allows raw materials to flow from both sides of the silo to the central third casting area. Furthermore, the equally spaced feed holes in the third casting area can ensure uniform feeding in a large area, thereby ensuring efficient use of raw materials and reducing waste.

[0034] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 7 This application will be described in further detail.

[0035] This application discloses a compact candy-pouring apparatus for mass production.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A compact, high-volume candy-making device includes a frame 1 with a first drive unit 6 vertically mounted on it. The first drive unit 6 includes an electric cylinder 61 and a mounting base 62. The electric cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 62, and the mounting base 62 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. A lifting plate 7 is located below the first drive unit 6 on the frame 1. The movable rod of the electric cylinder 61 passes through the mounting base 62 and is fixedly connected to the frame 1 and the lifting plate 7. The lifting plate 7 is positioned opposite to the first drive unit 6. Multiple piston rods 4 are fixedly connected to one side of the driving unit 6. A material hopper 2 and a casting unit 3 are also provided on the side of the lifting plate 7 away from the first driving unit 6. All piston rods 4 are located in the material hopper 2. The casting unit 3 is located below the material hopper 2 and the material hopper 2 is detachably connected to the casting unit 3 by bolts. Multiple casting holes 31 are opened vertically in the casting unit 3. The casting holes 31 correspond one-to-one with the piston rods 4, and the piston rods 4 and the corresponding casting holes 31 form an embedded sliding fit.

[0037] In practical use, the electric cylinder 61 in the first drive unit 6 provides power, causing the movable rod of the electric cylinder 61 to drive the lifting plate 7 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, thereby controlling the piston rod 4, which is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 7, to slide within the pouring hole 31. At the same time, the hopper 2, the pouring unit 3, and the first drive unit 6 are arranged in the same vertical direction, that is, the hopper 2, the pouring unit 3, and the first drive unit 6 are arranged collinearly, thereby reducing the horizontal footprint of the device. Furthermore, the hopper 2 is detachable. When the frame 1 and the lifting plate 7 are raised to a certain height, the entire hopper 2 can be detached from the pouring unit 3, making the device more convenient to clean.

[0038] Reference Figure 2 The lifting plate 7 is rectangular in shape. It is equipped with four lifting columns 71 located at the four corners of the lifting plate 7. Each lifting column 71 includes a support column 711 and a sleeve 712. The sleeve 712 passes through the support column 711 and slides with it. One end of any support column 711 passes through the lifting plate 7 and is fixedly connected to the frame 1, while the other end is fixedly connected to the frame 1 near the bottom of the pouring unit 3. The end of any sleeve 712 near the lifting plate 7 passes through the lifting plate 7 and is fixedly connected to it. In actual use, the electric cylinder 61 in the first drive unit 6 provides power, causing the movable rod of the electric cylinder 61 to drive the lifting plate 7 to reciprocate in the vertical direction, which in turn causes the sleeve 712 to slide on the support column 711. This satisfies the requirement that the piston rod 4 slides within the pouring hole 31 and ensures the stability of the device during operation.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The casting unit 3 has multiple valve holes 32 extending horizontally through it. These valve holes 32 pass through the casting hole 31, dividing it into upper and lower parts, and are connected to the casting hole 31. Each valve hole 32 contains a valve body 5. A second drive unit 8 is mounted horizontally on the frame 1. This second drive unit 8 includes a cylinder 81 and a drive block 82. The cylinder 81 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. One end of the drive block 82 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the cylinder 81, and the other end is fixedly connected to the same end of all valve bodies 5. The casting unit 3 also has multiple feed holes 33. Each valve body 5 has a feed channel 51 and two sets of casting channels 52 arranged sequentially along the axis of the valve hole 32, switching as the valve body 5 moves. Each feed channel 51 includes a feed hole 33. The main feeding channel 511 is connected to the main feeding channel 511 and two auxiliary feeding channels 512 are connected to the upper part of the pouring hole 31. Each pouring channel 52 is connected to the pouring hole 31 both vertically. Correspondingly, the number of pouring holes 31 is the same as the number of pouring channels 52 and auxiliary feeding channels 512. In actual use, the second drive unit 8 drives the valve body 5 to slide and switch the feeding channel 51 and the pouring channel 52 in the valve hole 32. The first drive unit 6 drives the piston rod 4 to reciprocate in the pouring hole 31, which can realize the continuous supply and precise pouring of raw materials. At the same time, by using the two auxiliary feeding channels 512 connected to each main feeding channel 511 and the two sets of pouring channels 52 correspondingly set on each valve body 5, the number of pours that the pouring unit 3 can pour at one time is increased, and the working efficiency of the device is improved.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 The casting unit 3 is divided into a first casting area 35, a second casting area 36, ​​and a third casting area 37 along the horizontal direction. The first casting area 35 and the second casting area 36 are each symmetrically arranged with two portions of the third casting area 37. The first casting area 35 includes two sets of casting holes 31 and one set of feed holes 33. The feed hole 33 is located on the side of the two sets of casting holes 31 away from the second casting area 36. The second casting area 36 includes four sets of casting holes 31 and a feed hole located at the center of the four sets of casting holes 31. The third casting area 37 includes a set of feed holes 33, comprising six sets of casting holes 31 and two sets of feed holes 33 evenly spaced between the six sets of casting holes 31. In actual use, the first casting area 35, the second casting area 36, ​​and the third casting area 37 form a stepped feeding network, allowing raw materials to flow from both sides of the silo 2 to the central third casting area 37. The evenly spaced feed holes 33 within the third casting area 37 ensure uniform feeding within a large area, thereby ensuring efficient utilization of raw materials and reducing waste.

[0041] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7The casting unit 3 is also provided with a discharge hole 34 along the horizontal direction and perpendicular to the valve body 5. The main feed channel 511 on the adjacent valve body 5 is connected to the discharge hole 34. The discharge hole 34 is provided with a removable sealing layer 9 at both ends. In actual use, when cleaning the device, the sealing layer 9 at both ends of the discharge hole 34 can be removed to discharge the sewage, so that the device can clean the accumulated material without disassembling the valve body 5, which improves the cleaning efficiency of the device.

[0042] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 A heating unit 10 is provided between the first pouring area 35, the second pouring area 36 and the third pouring area 37. The heating unit 10 includes a heating hole 101 arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the pouring hole 31 and a heating rod 102 inside the heating hole 101. In actual use, the heating unit 10 is provided by utilizing the gap between the first pouring area 35, the second pouring area 36 and the third pouring area 37, which can prevent the raw material from being cooled and solidified during the entire pouring process.

[0043] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The bottom of the casting unit 3 is fixedly connected to a casting plate 11. The casting plate 11 has a receiving cavity 111 and an injection hole 112. One end of the receiving cavity 111 is connected to the lower half of the casting hole 31 and the other end is connected to the injection hole 112. The axes of the casting hole 31, the receiving cavity 111, and the injection hole 112 are not collinear, that is, the axis of the injection hole 112 is eccentrically arranged in the receiving cavity 111. The side of the casting plate 11 away from the casting unit 3 is also evenly distributed with A pouring head 113 is provided, which is connected to the injection hole 112. In actual use, the axes of the pouring hole 31, the receiving cavity 111 and the injection hole 112 are not collinear, that is, the axis of the injection hole 112 is eccentrically set in the receiving cavity 111, thereby compensating for the gap between two adjacent sets of pouring holes 31. At the same time, the pouring heads 113 are evenly distributed on the pouring plate 11, so that the raw material can be evenly poured onto the mold through the pouring head 113.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7The bottom two sides of the frame 1 are symmetrically equipped with lifting cylinders 12 about the casting unit 3. The cylinder body of the lifting cylinder 12 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 12 is connected to the external accessories. In actual use, the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 12 is connected to the external fixing parts of the mold placement device. During the casting process, the casting device pours the raw material into the mold placed on the factory conveyor belt. After the casting is completed, the conveyor belt sends the mold to the next processing program for processing. During this process, the lifting cylinder drives the entire device to rise and fall. When casting is needed, the device can be lowered to be closer to the mold to prevent the raw material from splashing out of the mold and causing waste. Conversely, after the casting is completed, the device can be raised away from the mold to facilitate the transfer of the mold to the next processing program.

[0045] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: By setting the hopper 2 and the pouring unit 3 collinearly in the vertical direction, the horizontal footprint of the device is reduced. Furthermore, the hopper 2 is detachable, making cleaning more convenient. Power is provided by the electric cylinder 61 in the first drive unit 6, causing the movable rod of the electric cylinder 61 to drive the lifting plate 7 to reciprocate vertically. This controls the piston rod 4, which is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 7, to slide within the pouring hole 31 and drive the sleeve 712 to slide on the support column 711. This satisfies both the sliding of the piston rod 4 within the pouring hole 31 and ensures the stability of the device during operation. Simultaneously, the second drive unit 8 drives the valve body 5 to slide within the valve hole 32, switching between the feeding channel 51 and the pouring channel 52, enabling continuous supply and precise pouring of raw materials. Each main feeding channel 511 is connected to two secondary feeding channels 512, and each valve body 5 is correspondingly equipped with two sets of pouring channels 52, thereby increasing the number of pours that the pouring unit 3 can pour at one time and improving the working efficiency of the device.

[0046] A stepped feeding network is formed by the first pouring area 35, the second pouring area 36, ​​and the third pouring area 37, allowing raw materials to flow from both sides of the silo 2 to the central third pouring area 37. The equally spaced feed holes 33 in the third pouring area 37 ensure uniform feeding over a large area, thereby ensuring efficient use of raw materials and reducing waste. A heating unit 10 is installed in the gap between the first pouring area 35, the second pouring area 36, ​​and the third pouring area 37 to prevent the raw materials from solidifying due to cold during the entire pouring process. At the same time, the discharge hole 34 and the removable sealing layer 9 at both ends of the discharge hole 34 can be used to remove the sealing layer 9 at both ends of the discharge hole 34 to discharge wastewater during cleaning. This allows the device to clean accumulated materials without disassembling the valve body 5, improving the cleaning efficiency of the device.

[0047] By utilizing the non-collinear arrangement of the axes of the pouring hole 31, the receiving cavity 111, and the pouring hole 112, that is, the axis of the pouring hole 112 is eccentrically arranged within the receiving cavity 111, the gap between two adjacent sets of pouring holes 31 is compensated, allowing the raw material to be evenly poured onto the mold through the pouring head 113. At the same time, the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 12 is connected to the external fixing part on the mold placement device, so that when pouring is required, the device is lowered to be close to the mold to prevent the raw material from splashing out of the mold and causing waste. Conversely, after pouring is completed, the device is raised away from the mold to facilitate the transfer of the mold to the next processing procedure.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
