Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chocolate processing technology, specifically a cooling device for a chocolate printer. Background Technology

[0002] For chocolate 3D printers, the chocolate raw material must first be melted into a fluid state so that it can be ejected through the print head. After being ejected from the print head, the chocolate raw material needs to be quickly solidified to support the next layer of molding material, thereby ensuring the strength of the finished chocolate. Chocolate 3D printers typically use a fan between the nozzle and the printing platform to cool the fluid chocolate ejected from the print head.

[0003] Chinese patent CN206101493U discloses a cooling system for a chocolate 3D printer, including a cooling module, a cooling fan, and a cooling duct mounted on the printer's printing platform. The cooling module comprises a semiconductor cooling chip, a heat sink, and a cooling fan. The cooling fan is mounted on the cooling duct, which is located around the perimeter of the printing platform. The cooling module is connected to the cooling fan and duct, which conduct the cool air generated by the cooling module to the printing platform. A protective cover is provided on the outside of the cooling module. This patent uses a semiconductor cooling chip for cooling, and the cooling duct and fan provide timely cooling and heat dissipation to the printing platform of the chocolate 3D printer, ensuring that the chocolate material extruded from the print head cools and solidifies rapidly. This allows for fast and accurate shaping of the printed chocolate product, improving printing efficiency and quality.

[0004] The printer cooling device described in the above patent has a simple adjustment structure that makes it difficult to adapt to cooling needs in different locations, resulting in poor adaptability. Therefore, it does not meet current requirements. In response, we have proposed a cooling device for a chocolate printer. Utility Model Content

[0027] Specifically, when in use, the cooling device is fixed to the outside of the printer by fixing the device bracket 1 and the side protective plate 101. The telescopic heat dissipation top plate 2 and the connecting baffle 201 are adjusted to extend and retract, adapting to the corresponding printer mold and cooling device to achieve the best cooling effect.

[0028] To address the issue of poor airflow and reduced cooling efficiency in existing printer cooling systems during practical use, please refer to... Figure 1 - Figure 4This embodiment provides the following technical solution:

[0029] Side protective plates 101 are provided on both sides of the device bracket 1. The side protective plates 101 and the device bracket 1 are integrally formed. A heat dissipation plate 102 is provided on the outer side of the side protective plate 101, and a heat absorption plate 103 is provided on the inner side of the side protective plate 101.
