Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of candied fruit processing, and more specifically, to an intelligent candied fruit processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the traditional processing of candied fruits, the sugar-soaking process often presents numerous challenges. Previous soaking equipment was typically simple in structure, making it difficult to ensure the evenness of the sugar solution coating the candied fruits.

[0003] In the prior art, a processing device for candied fruit and dried fruit with soaking liquid, application number CN202221336284.8, involves placing the material on a shelf. However, the area where the candied fruit and dried fruit contact the shelf is difficult to be coated with sugar syrup, resulting in uneven coating. If the shelf moves up and down too quickly, the candied fruit and dried fruit may fall off, leading to waste and insufficient sugar soaking, affecting product quality consistency. Furthermore, while the bottom uses pushers to scrape away the sugar sediment, continuous scraping can cause wear and tear, affecting the device's lifespan. Therefore, inventing an intelligent processing device for candied fruit and dried fruit to improve these problems has become a pressing issue for those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an intelligent processing equipment for candied fruits, aiming to improve the existing equipment's inability to ensure that candied fruits come into full contact with the sugar solution while increasing the equipment's service life.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: an intelligent processing equipment for candied fruit, including...

[0028] The impregnation mechanism 100 includes an impregnation assembly 110 and a support displacement assembly 120. The impregnation assembly 110 contains sugar liquid, and the support displacement assembly 120 is installed at the bottom of the impregnation assembly 110.

[0029] The sugar syrup mixing mechanism 200 includes a lifting assembly 210, which is installed on top of the soaking assembly 110. A mixing assembly 220 is installed above the lifting assembly 210. The mixing assembly 220 includes a motor 221, which is fixedly installed on top of the lifting assembly 210. A transmission rod 222 is driven at the bottom of the motor 221. The transmission rod 222 passes through the lifting assembly 210 and extends into the bottom of the soaking assembly 110. Placement plates 224 are connected to both sides of the transmission rod 222. The candied fruit to be processed is placed inside the placement plate 224. By moving up and down and rotating the placement plate 224 in the soaking tank 111, the candied fruit inside the placement plate 224 can contact the sugar syrup from multiple angles, avoiding uneven sugar soaking caused by insufficient local contact.

[0030] The impregnation mechanism 100 and the sugar solution mixing mechanism 200 are equipped with programmable logic controllers (PLCs), microcontrollers (MCUs), level sensors, weight sensors, temperature sensors, etc., according to existing technology, to increase the automation level of the equipment.

[0031] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The immersion assembly 110 includes an immersion tank 111, the bottom of which is inclined. An inlet valve 114 is connected to one side of the top of the immersion tank 111, and an outlet valve 113 is connected to the downwardly inclined side of the bottom of the immersion tank 111, making it easier to discharge the sugar solution and clean the immersion tank 111. The middle of the immersion tank 111 is hollow, and a splash guard 112 is installed on the top of the immersion tank 111. The bottom of the splash guard 112 is a circular plate, the outer edge of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the immersion tank 111. An upwardly extending cylindrical tube is provided in the middle of the splash guard 112.

[0032] The support displacement assembly 120 includes a support column 121. A fixing plate 122 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the support column 121. The inner wall of the fixing plate 122 is fixedly installed on the outer bottom wall of the immersion tank 111. A movable wheel 123 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support column 121. There are four sets of support columns 121, which are equally installed on the outer wall of the immersion tank 111 at four different locations in conjunction with the fixing plates 122. The movable wheel 123 can be a caster wheel or other wheels with self-locking.

[0033] The lifting assembly 210 includes a support frame 211, with support plates 213 respectively installed on the lower sides of the support frame 211. The inner wall of the support plates 213 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the soaking tank 111. Lifting rods 212 are fixedly connected to the four bottom corners of the support frame 211. The bottom of the lifting rods 212 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plates 213. The lifting rods 212 can be electrically operated or electrically powered. The four lifting rods 212 are raised simultaneously to drive the support frame 211 to rise (for loading / unloading candied fruits) and fall for coating with sugar.

[0034] The mixing assembly 220 also includes a rotating shaft 227, which is rotatably mounted on the inner bottom of the immersion tank 111. A scraper 226 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 227, and the bottom surface of the scraper 226 abuts against the inner bottom of the immersion tank 111. The scraper 226 does not rotate, which reduces long-term wear with the bottom of the immersion tank 111 and increases its service life. A fixed cylinder 223 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the transmission rod 222. The inner walls of the placement plates 224 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the fixed cylinder 223. A limit block 228 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the transmission rod 222. A groove is provided on the top of the rotating shaft 227 to cooperate with the limit block 228. The limit block 228 slides and engages with the top of the rotating shaft 227.

[0035] The middle part of the placement plate 224 is hollow, and the bottom of the placement plate 224 is hinged to a base plate 229. The top of the placement plate 224 is hollow, and multiple through holes are equally spaced on both sides of the placement plate 224. The shape and style of the placement plate 224 can be set according to the candied fruit and dried fruit, and it is used to store candied fruit and dried fruit. It is convenient to put in and take out. The base plate 229 and the placement plate 224 are locked by a buckle or the like. Other locking structures can be replaced. The placement plate 224 can be set as a mesh basket, and the mesh of the basket is wrapped with a buffer outer skin.

[0036] Working principle: A suitable amount of sugar liquid is injected into the soaking tank 111 through the liquid inlet valve 114. The candied fruit to be processed is placed in the placement plate 224. The placement plate 224 is hollow in the middle, and the bottom is hinged to the bottom plate 229. The top is also hollow and has multiple through holes on both sides to facilitate full contact of the sugar liquid with the candied fruit.

[0037] The motor 221 is started, which drives the transmission rod 222 to rotate. The transmission rod 222 then drives the fixed cylinder 223 and the placement plate 224 to rotate, ensuring that the candied fruit in the placement plate 224 is evenly contacted with the sugar syrup during rotation. Simultaneously, the lifting assembly 210 begins operation. The lifting rods 212 at the four corners of the bottom of the support frame 211, in conjunction with the support plate 213, allow the mixing assembly 220 to move up and down, thereby causing the placement plate 224 to move up and down within the soaking tank 111. The candied fruit tumbles within the placement plate 224 due to the inertia generated by the up-and-down movement, further ensuring the evenness of the sugar syrup coating.

[0038] During the impregnation process, the rotating shaft 227 is installed at the bottom of the impregnation tank 111 for limiting rotation. When the transmission rod 222 rotates, the rotating shaft 227 will not rotate. When sediment appears at the bottom of the impregnation tank 111, the support frame 211, together with the lifting rods 212 at the four corners and the support plate 213, causes the mixing component 220 to move down. At the same time, the limiting block 228 is locked with the rotating shaft 227 for limiting. At this time, the scraper 226 can be driven to rotate to scrape the bottom of the impregnation tank 111 to prevent sugar solution from settling. At the same time, it can help clean the residual sugar solution at the bottom of the tank after processing.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
