Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production technology, and in particular to a Maltesers production equipment with adjustable chocolate encapsulation layer thickness. Background Technology
[0002] Maltesers are a common food product. They consist of a core of maltodextrin filled with vacuum micropores and an outer layer of chocolate. When you first put a Malteser in your mouth, it has a pure chocolate flavor, followed by a rich, milky taste. Chewing it with the chocolate and milky flavor is better than letting it melt slowly in your mouth, which is why it is loved by most people. The production process of Maltesers involves several steps. First, the core is made by mixing the raw materials and then placing it in the production equipment. Chocolate syrup is then sprayed onto the core and used to coat the outside of the core. Finally, the surface is polished to obtain the Maltesers.
[0003] In the existing technology, the chocolate encapsulation process is generally carried out by manually spraying chocolate paste. However, it is difficult for humans to control the timing of spraying, which leads to uneven encapsulation and affects production. Furthermore, the thickness of the encapsulation layer cannot be well controlled. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a Maltesers production device with adjustable chocolate encapsulation layer thickness.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A malted chocolate production device with adjustable encapsulation layer thickness includes a hollow body. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the body via bearings. One end of the rotating shaft extends through to the outside of the body and is fixedly connected to an encapsulation pan, while the other end extends through to the inside of the body and is fixedly connected to a universal joint. A servo motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the body via a bracket. The output shaft of the servo motor is fixedly connected to a drive shaft. The drive shaft is rotatably connected to the side wall of the body via bearings and extends into its interior. A turntable is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft near the universal joint. An intermediate shaft is fixedly connected between the two turntables. A connecting rod is rotatably connected to the intermediate shaft via bearings.
[0007] Preferably, a sliding sleeve is fixedly connected through the top wall of the machine body, a piston is slidably connected inside the sliding sleeve, a connecting rod extends into the sliding sleeve and is rotatably connected to the piston via a pin, a pump outlet pipe is fixedly connected through the top wall of the sliding sleeve, the pump outlet pipe extends into the embedding pot and is fixedly connected to a nozzle, and an absorption pipe is fixedly connected through the two opposite side walls of the sliding sleeve.
[0008] Preferably, the machine body is fixedly connected to a raw material box, and the end of the absorption tube away from the sliding sleeve extends into the raw material box. Two adjusting plates are slidably connected inside the raw material box. A screw is rotatably connected to the raw material box through a bearing. The section of the screw inside the raw material box is provided with threads of opposite direction and is threadedly connected to the adjusting plate. The remaining part is a smooth structure.
[0009] Preferably, both the absorption pipe and the pump outlet pipe are equipped with a one-way valve.

[0011] Preferably, a rotating wheel is fixedly connected to one end of the screw located outside the raw material box, and the outer wall of the rotating wheel is engraved with anti-slip texture.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. Driven by a servo motor, the embedding pan rotates, thereby turning the inner core. At the same time, the servo motor also drives the reciprocating motion of the piston, thereby controlling the spraying of chocolate syrup. This makes the turning of the inner core and the spraying of the syrup linked, so that the spraying speed changes with the turning speed, thus ensuring the uniformity of the chocolate embedding layer.
[0014] 2. By rotating the screw, the distance between the two adjusting plates can be controlled, thereby controlling the total amount of chocolate syrup sprayed. Controlling the total amount of chocolate syrup sprayed can control the thickness of the embedding layer. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0020] Reference Figure 1-3 A malted chocolate production device with adjustable encapsulation layer thickness includes a hollow body 1. A rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the body 1 through a bearing. One end of the rotating shaft 2 extends through to the outside of the body 1 and is fixedly connected to an encapsulation pot 3. The other end extends through to the inside of the body 1 and is fixedly connected to a universal joint 4. A servo motor 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the body 1 through a bracket. A drive shaft 6 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 5. The drive shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the body 1 through a bearing and extends into its interior. A turntable 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft 6 that is close to the universal joint 4. An intermediate shaft 8 is fixedly connected between the two turntables 7. A connecting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the intermediate shaft 8 through a bearing.
[0021] A sliding sleeve 10 is fixedly connected through the top wall of the body 1. A piston 11 is slidably connected inside the sliding sleeve 10. A connecting rod 9 extends into the sliding sleeve 10 and is rotatably connected to the piston 11 via a pin. A pump outlet pipe 12 is fixedly connected through the top wall of the sliding sleeve 10. The pump outlet pipe 12 extends into the embedding pot 3 and is fixedly connected to a nozzle 13. Absorption pipes 18 are fixedly connected through the two opposite side walls of the sliding sleeve 10.
[0022] The machine body 1 is fixedly connected to the raw material box 14. The end of the absorption tube 18 away from the sliding sleeve 10 extends into the raw material box 14. There are two adjusting plates 15 sealed and slidably connected inside the raw material box 14. The raw material box 14 is rotatably connected to the screw 16 through the bearing. The section of the screw 16 inside the raw material box 14 is provided with threads of opposite direction and is threadedly connected to the adjusting plate 15. The rest of the part is a smooth structure.
[0023] Both the absorption pipe 18 and the pump outlet pipe 12 are equipped with one-way valves. The one-way valve in the absorption pipe 18 only allows slurry to enter the sliding sleeve 10 from the absorption pipe 18, and the one-way valve in the pump outlet pipe 12 only allows slurry to enter the pump outlet pipe 12 from the sliding sleeve 10.
[0024] A sealing ring is provided at the threaded connection between the screw 16 and the adjusting plate 15. The sealing ring ensures a seal at the threaded connection between the screw 16 and the adjusting plate 15, preventing leakage at the threaded connection.
[0025] The screw 16 is fixedly connected to a rotating wheel 17 at one end outside the raw material box 14. The outer wall of the rotating wheel 17 is engraved with anti-slip texture to prevent slippage during operation of the rotating wheel 17.
[0026] In this invention, firstly, according to the required thickness of the embedding layer, the rotating wheel 17 is rotated, causing the screw 16 to rotate. The distance between the two adjusting plates 17 is adjusted to a suitable distance, and then chocolate syrup is injected between the two adjusting plates 17 until it is full. Then, the inner core is placed in the embedding pot 3, and the servo motor 5 is turned on. The rotation of the servo motor 5 drives the universal joint 4 to rotate through the turntable 7 and the intermediate shaft 8. The universal joint 4 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate, causing the embedding pot 3 to rotate and flip the inner core inside. At the same time, the rotation of the turntable 7 and the intermediate shaft 8 drives the piston 11 to move up and down through the connecting rod 9. When the piston 11 moves downward, it draws chocolate syrup from the raw material box 14 through the absorption pipe 18. When the piston 11 moves upward, it sprays the absorbed chocolate syrup onto the inner core inside the embedding pot 3 through the pump pipe 12 and the nozzle 13. As the embedding pot 3 rotates, the chocolate syrup is evenly embedded on the inner core.
[0027] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
