[0002] The integrated chocolate freeze-drying and molding device is a piece of equipment that integrates chocolate making, molding and freeze-drying processes. It can realize the fully automated operation from mixing chocolate raw materials, molding to freeze-drying. This device mixes chocolate powder with solvent, pours it into molds, freezes and shapes it, and then freeze-dries and demolds it to finally obtain freeze-dried chocolate with good thermal stability and unique taste. It not only improves production efficiency and reduces manual operation, but also ensures the consistency of product quality.

[0003] In the operation of the integrated chocolate freeze-drying molding device, liquid chocolate is usually poured into a mold with a groove first, and then the mold is placed inside the freeze dryer for freeze-drying. However, after freeze-drying, due to the limitations of the mold, the staff needs to manually remove the chocolate from the mold. This process not only increases the complexity of manual operation, but also easily leads to damage or deformation of the chocolate product when it is removed, thereby reducing the integrity and consistency of the product. Therefore, an integrated chocolate freeze-drying molding device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated chocolate freeze-drying molding device to solve the problem that, due to the limitations of the mold, workers need to manually remove the chocolate from the mold.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] An integrated chocolate freeze-drying molding device includes a freeze-drying device 1, a bracket 2 fixedly connected to the inner side of the freeze-drying device 1, the right side of the freeze-drying device 1 being attached to the left side of a collection box 3, a side seat 4 fixedly connected to the right side of the freeze-drying device 1, and a mold assembly 5 fixedly connected to the right end of the side seat 4 by bolts. The mold assembly 5 includes a mold shell 51, an extension tube 52 fixedly connected to the left side of the mold shell 51, a receiving groove 53 opened on the inner side of the mold shell 51, a silicone template 54 fixedly connected to the inner side of the receiving groove 53, a fixing port 55 opened on the right end of the mold shell 51, a fixing rubber ring 56 fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing port 55, a horn 57 fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixing rubber ring 56, a spring plate 58 fixedly connected to the left side of the horn 57, and the mold shell 51 being fixed to the right end of the side seat 4 by bolts.

[0029] As a further implementation of this solution, the freeze-drying device 1 includes a freeze dryer body 11, an air pump 13 is fixedly connected to the right side of the freeze dryer body 11, a connecting pipe 14 is fixedly connected to the right side of the air pump 13, and a rubber sealing ring 12 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting pipe 14, which provides stable support for subsequent inflation and sealing operations. The setting of the rubber sealing ring 12 ensures a tight fit with the extension pipe 52, which guarantees the sealing performance during the inflation process, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire device.

[0030] As a further implementation of this solution, multiple brackets 2 are fixed inside the freeze dryer body 11, and an extension tube 52 is inserted into the inside of the connecting tube 14. The inside of the rubber sealing ring 12 is in contact with the outside of the extension tube 52, and the inside of the connecting tube 14 is connected to the inside of the extension tube 52. With the above settings, freeze drying operations of multiple molds can be performed simultaneously. The extension tube 52 is inserted into the inside of the connecting tube 14 and is tightly in contact with the rubber sealing ring 12, which avoids gas leakage and further improves the efficiency and reliability of demolding.

[0031] As a further implementation of this solution, ear seats are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the mold shell 51. Through holes are opened on the inner side of the ear seats of the mold shell 51, and screw holes are opened on the right end of the side seat 4. Through the above settings, the stability of the device during operation is ensured, and the failure of chocolate demolding due to loose parts is avoided.

[0032] As a further implementation of this solution, the extension tube 52 is connected to the receiving groove 53, which penetrates the lower end of the mold shell 51. Through the above arrangement, it is ensured that the gas can enter the mold evenly, so that the mold can expand evenly during the inflation process, thereby more effectively pushing the chocolate out and improving the success rate of demolding and the integrity of the chocolate.

[0033] As a further implementation of this solution, the fixing port 55 penetrates the right end of the mold shell 51 and is connected to the receiving groove 53. There are multiple fixing ports 55. A gap is provided between the outer side of the horn 57 and the fixing port 55. The spring plate 58 extends into the interior of the receiving groove 53. The bottom end of the spring plate 58 is fixedly connected to the top end of the silicone template 54. The number of spring plates 58 is the same as the number of horns 57. Through the above arrangement, the gas can generate vibration during the flow process. This vibration is transmitted to the silicone template 54 through the spring plate 58, which accelerates the release of the chocolate, improves the demolding efficiency, and reduces the possible breakage of the chocolate during the demolding process.

[0034] Workflow: When freeze-drying liquid chocolate, with the groove of the silicone template 54 facing upwards, pour the liquid chocolate into the groove of the silicone template 54. The front view shape of the support 2 is U-shaped. Insert the mold shell 51 into the groove of the support 2. Seal the door of the freeze-drying device 1 using existing technology to freeze-dry the liquid chocolate. When the freeze-dried liquid chocolate needs to be removed, remove the mold assembly 5 piece by piece, flip the mold assembly 5 as a whole so that the silicone template 54 faces downwards, align the extension tube 52 with the inside of the connecting tube 14 and insert it. Seal the connection tube 14 and the extension tube 52 with the rubber sealing ring 12. Then fix the mold shell 51 and the side seat 4 with bolts. At this time, start the air pump 13 to inflate the receiving tank 53 with air through the connecting tube 14 and the extension tube 52. During the inflation process, the gas pressure inside the receiving tank 53 causes the silicone template 54 to expand outwards from the mold shell 51. Under the expansion of the silicone template 54, the volume of the groove between the silicone templates 54 increases. Some chunks of chocolate will fall into the collection box 3, while some chocolate will be difficult to fall. Following the same principle, after the gas enters the receiving tank 53, some of the gas will flow out through the horn 57. The diameter of the horn 57 is relatively small, and the flow rate of the gas entering the receiving tank 53 is greater than the flow rate of the gas flowing out of the horn 57, ensuring that the silicone template 54 expands. When the gas passes through the horn 57, the fixing rubber ring 56 acts as a seal, and the horn 57 will emit a sound. At this time, the horn 57 vibrates. The horn 57 is fixed to the spring plate 58, which diffuses the expansion of the horn 57, thereby transmitting the vibration to the silicone template 54, thus accelerating the falling of the chocolate. Based on the above principles, the device changes the manual process of adding chocolate and removing it from the mold. This removal method not only improves the convenience of removing chocolate but also significantly reduces the deformation of chocolate due to improper handling, improving the integrity and consistency of the finished chocolate product.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
