Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of candied fruit processing technology, and in particular to a candied fruit pressing device. Background Technology

[0002] Plums are a common fruit belonging to the genus Prunus of the Rosaceae family. There are many varieties, including red plums, green plums, and black plums. Plum preserves are plum products made through processes such as sugaring, pickling, and drying. In the processing of plum preserves, pressing is a key step. By pressing, irregular plum pieces are shaped into a uniform thickness and shape, which can improve the quality and appearance of the product. Therefore, a preserve pressing device is needed.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese Patent Publication No. CN208875313U, which discloses an integrated molding device for candied fruit production. The device includes a support platform. The top of the support platform has a vertically arranged first placement channel. A limiting cylinder is fixed inside the first placement channel, and a vertically arranged feeding cylinder is slidably connected inside the limiting cylinder. The feeding cylinder has an L-shaped feeding channel inside, and a telescopic tube is connected to the top of the feeding cylinder. A collecting funnel is fixed to the top of the telescopic tube, and a first electric push rod is fixed to the bottom of the outer wall of the collecting funnel. The first electric push rod is fixed to the top of the support platform. A conveyor belt is located below the feeding channel, and a collecting box is fixed to the top of the conveyor belt. The collecting box has identical and symmetrical structures on both sides along the length of the conveyor belt. A second placement channel is provided on one side wall of the collecting box, and an extrusion plate is slidably connected inside the second placement channel. This invention facilitates the molding of semi-finished candied fruit, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing finished candied fruit with higher market competitiveness.

[0004] In the aforementioned utility model, the semi-finished candied fruit is shaped using an extrusion plate, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing finished product with higher market competitiveness. However, in actual use, the aforementioned pressurizing device cannot effectively ensure the cleanliness of the outer wall of the extrusion plate during the extrusion of the candied fruit, easily leading to the adhesion and accumulation of candied fruit. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a candied fruit pressing device, which aims to improve the problem that candied fruit tends to stick and accumulate on the outer wall of the pressing plate during pressing in the existing extrusion device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a candied fruit pressing device, comprising a support frame, a support shell fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support frame, a support block fixedly connected to the inside of the support shell, a sliding column slidably connected to the inside of the support block, a support plate rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sliding column, the support plate slidably connected to the outside of the support block, one end of a spring fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate, the other end of the spring fixedly connected to the inside of the support block, a limit post fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column, the outer wall of the limit post slidably connected to the inside of the support block, a connecting plate rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sliding column, a scraper fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate, and an air blowing assembly provided on the outer wall of the support frame.

[0007] The above technical solution utilizes a sliding column to support the connecting plate. When the sliding column moves, it drives the connecting plate to move as well. The rebound force of the spring allows the sliding column to return to its original position for easy reuse. The groove inside the support block allows for height adjustment of the scraper, enabling it to scrape residue off the outer wall of the pressure roller or clean it by adhering closely to the outer wall. This adapts to various working requirements and better ensures the cleanliness of the pressure roller during pressing operations.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The air blowing assembly includes an air pump, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame. One end of the air pump is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump, and the other end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to an air blowing cylinder. The outer wall of the air blowing cylinder is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting plate.

[0010] The above technical solution achieves the following: the air pump can provide airflow, the connecting pipe can transport airflow, and the air blower can blow air onto the surface of the pressure roller, causing the candied fruit adhering to the surface of the pressure roller to fall off, thus preventing the candied fruit from accumulating when the pressure roller is pressed.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] A motor is fixedly connected inside the support shell. A rotating shaft is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor. The outer wall of the rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the support shell. A pressure roller is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The scraper is located to the upper left of the pressure roller.

[0013] The above technical solution allows the motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, and the pressure rollers can press the candied fruit by applying pressure from the two rollers, thus pressing the dehydrated plums into long round cakes.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The support frame is equipped with a conveyor inside, and the upper surface of the support frame is provided with a discharge port.

[0016] The above technical solution allows plums to be transported by a conveyor, saving manpower. The discharge port protects the plums and allows them to be transported in a single layer on the surface of the conveyor, preventing them from piling up.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] The outer wall of the support frame is fixedly connected to a fixed shell, and the inside of the fixed shell is fixedly connected to a second motor. The output end of the second motor is fixedly provided with a second rotating shaft, and the outer wall of the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed shell.

[0019] The above technical solution provides a way to fix the second motor in place, ensuring its stability and making it more secure. The second rotating shaft also fixes the grooved wheel and allows it to rotate synchronously when the second rotating shaft rotates.

[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0021] A grooved wheel is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the second rotating shaft, a slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the grooved wheel, a connecting frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider, a support column is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting frame, and the outer wall of the support column is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed shell.

[0022] The above technical solution allows the slider to move along the groove as the grooved wheel rotates, thus limiting and offsetting the slider. This ensures that the slider can only slide within the groove of the grooved wheel. The movement of the slider causes the connecting frame to rotate, which in turn causes the screen to vibrate for screening, reducing subsequent sorting time.

[0023] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0024] The support column is rotatably connected to a connecting rod, and a screen is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod.

[0025] The above technical solution uses a connecting rod to fix the screen, ensuring its stability when it shakes.

[0026] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0027] One end of a second spring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the screen, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to a receiving box.

[0028] The above technical solution ensures that the screen will not get stuck when it shakes, allowing the shaking screening to proceed stably. The two receiving boxes can collect the screened candied fruit separately.

[0029] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. In this utility model, pressing the sliding column, through the cooperation between the limiting column, the support plate, the spring, and the connecting plate, makes the conveyor and the scraper close to the pressure roller, cleaning the candied fruit adhering to the outer wall of the pressure roller, thus better ensuring the cleanliness of the pressure roller.

[0031] 2. In this utility model, the starting motor 2, through the cooperation between the rotating shaft 2, the grooved wheel, the slider, the connecting frame, the support column, the connecting rod, the screen, and the spring 2, enables the screen to screen the pressed candied fruit, reducing subsequent operations, saving time, and improving work efficiency.

[0038] 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.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a candied fruit pressing device, including a support frame 1, a support shell 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support frame 1, a support block 6 fixedly connected to the inside of the support shell 2, a sliding column 7 slidably connected to the inside of the support block 6, a support plate 9 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 7, the outer side of the support plate 9 slidably connected to the inside of the support block 6, one end of a spring-10 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate 9, the other end of the spring-10 fixedly connected to the inside of the support block 6, a limit post 8 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 7, the outer wall of the limit post 8 slidably connected to the inside of the support block 6, a connecting plate 11 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 7, a scraper 13 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate 11, and an air blowing assembly 14 provided on the outer wall of the support frame 1.

[0040] Specifically, the sliding column 7 supports the connecting plate 11. The sliding column 7 can rotate inside the connecting plate 11 through a locking mechanism without causing the connecting plate 11 to deviate. The support plate 9 supports the sliding column 7, and the spring 10 supports the support plate 9. By allowing the sliding column 7 to slide inside the support block 6, the support plate 9 can compress the spring 10. The spring 10 also has a restoring effect on the support plate 9. Through the contraction and rebound force of the spring 10, after rotating the sliding column 7 to disengage the limiting column 8 from the groove of the support block 6, the support plate 9 can return to its original position. The support plate 9 also restores the sliding column 7 and the connecting plate 11 to their original positions for easy reuse. The support block 6 has two L-shaped grooves inside. When the sliding column 7 moves downward, the limiting column 8 moves downward synchronously within the grooves of the support block 6. When the sliding column 7 is rotated, the limiting column 8 rotates within the grooves of the support block 6 and is locked inside the grooves of the support block 6. At the same time, the contraction and rebound force of the spring 10 exerts upward pressure on the limiting column 8, thus ensuring that the limiting column 8 is stably locked within the grooves of the support block 6 and guaranteeing the stability of the connecting plate 11. By changing the position of the limiting column 8 within the two grooves of the support block 6, the position of the scraper 13 and the pressure roller 5 can be adjusted, thereby enabling the scraper 13 to remove residue or clean the surface of the pressure roller 5.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The air blowing assembly 14 includes an air pump 1401. The outer wall of the air pump 1401 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 1. One end of the connecting pipe 1402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the air pump 1401. The other end of the connecting pipe 1402 is fixedly connected to an air blowing cylinder 1403. The outer wall of the air blowing cylinder 1403 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connecting plate 11.

[0042] Specifically, the support frame 1 has a fixing function for the air pump 1401. The support frame 1 can make the air pump 1401 more stable. After the air pump 1401 is started, the air pump 1401 can deliver airflow to the air blower 1403 through the connecting pipe 1402. The air blower 1403 will hang the candied fruit adhering to the surface of the pressure roller 5 to avoid accumulation during pressing. At the same time, it can also help keep the pressure roller 5 clean.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 A motor 3 is fixedly connected inside the support shell 2. A rotating shaft 4 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 3. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected inside the support shell 2. A pressure roller 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 4. The scraper 13 is located to the upper left of the pressure roller 5.

[0044] Specifically, the support shell 2 fixes the motor 3, the motor 3 fixes the rotating shaft 4, the support shell 2 supports the rotating shaft 4, and the rotating shaft 4 fixes the pressure roller 5. The motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, so that the pressure roller 5 rotates synchronously, which can make the pressure roller 5 perform the pressing work. At the same time, there are two pressure rollers 5, which are symmetrically distributed vertically, with the lower pressure roller 5 located inside the conveyor 12.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 The support frame 1 is equipped with a conveyor 12 inside, and the upper surface of the support frame 1 is equipped with a discharge port 26.

[0046] Specifically, the conveyor 12 is existing technology. The conveyor 12 can transport plums that need to be pressed after dehydration. The plums can be stably placed above the conveyor 12 through the discharge port 26, which also protects the plums.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4A fixed shell 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the support frame 1. A motor 16 is fixedly connected inside the fixed shell 15. A rotating shaft 17 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 16. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 17 is rotatably connected inside the fixed shell 15. A grooved wheel 18 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 17. A slider 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the grooved wheel 18. A connecting frame 20 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 19. A support column 21 is rotatably connected inside the connecting frame 20. The outer wall of the support column 21 is fixedly connected inside the fixed shell 15. A connecting rod 22 is rotatably connected inside the support column 21. A screen 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting rod 22.

[0048] Specifically, the support frame 1 fixes the fixed shell 15, ensuring its stability. The fixed shell 15 also fixes the motor 16 and supports the rotating shaft 17. The rotating shaft 17 fixes the grooved wheel 18. The rotation of the rotating shaft 17 drives the grooved wheel 18 to rotate. The outer wall of the grooved wheel 18 has an annular groove, which limits the movement of the slider 19, ensuring that the slider 19 can only slide within the groove of the groove. When the grooved wheel 18 rotates, the groove of the grooved wheel 18... The groove allows the slider 19 to move along the path of the groove. When the slider 19 moves, it will drive the connecting frame 20 to rotate on the outer wall of the support column 21. The support column 21 supports the connecting frame 20, the connecting frame 20 supports the connecting rod 22, and the connecting rod 22 fixes the screen 23. The rotation of the connecting frame 20 will cause the connecting rod 22 to drive the screen 23 to shake, thereby achieving the effect of shaking screening, reducing the time for subsequent sorting of candied fruit. The fixed shell 15 has slots inside, which allows the connecting frame 20 to rotate without being disassembled or jammed.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 One end of spring 24 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of screen 23, and the other end of spring 24 is fixedly connected to receiving box 25;

[0050] Specifically, the screen 23 has a fixing effect on the spring 24, and the receiving box 25 has a fixing effect on the spring 24. There are two receiving boxes 25, one of which is in contact with the feeding part of the screen 23 and is used to collect qualified candied fruit after screening, and the other is located below the screen 23 and is used to collect unqualified candied fruit after screening.

[0051] Working principle: When the equipment is needed, the plums to be pressed are placed on the conveyor 12 through the feed port 26. Then, the conveyor 12 is started to transport the plums to the middle of the two pressure rollers 5. The motor 3 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 4 to make the pressure rollers 5 press the plums. During the pressing process, residue easily adheres to the pressure rollers 5. At this time, the sliding column 7 is pressed down. The sliding column 7 will move downward inside the support block 6, and will drive the support plate 9 downward to squeeze the spring 10. At the same time, the sliding column 7 will drive the connecting plate 11 to move. When moved to the appropriate position, the sliding column 7 is rotated, which will drive the limiting column 8 to rotate inside the support block 6 and lock into the groove inside the support block 6. This allows the scraper 13 to be fixed to the outer wall of the pressure roller 5. Through the rotation of the pressure roller 5, the scraper 13 can scrape off the residue on the outer wall of the pressure roller 5. At the same time, the air pump 1401 is started. The air pump 1401 will deliver airflow to the air blower 1403 through the connecting pipe 1402. The air blower 1403 will remove the candied fruit adhering to the outer wall of the pressure roller 5, further ensuring the cleanliness of the outer wall of the pressure roller 5 and ensuring the accuracy of the pressing operation.

[0052] After the candied fruit is pressed, it is conveyed to the top of the screen 23 by the conveyor 12. The motor 16 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 17 to rotate the grooved wheel 18. When the grooved wheel 18 rotates, it drives the slider 19 to slide through the groove on the outer wall. When the slider 19 slides, it drives the connecting frame 20 to rotate on the outer wall of the support column 21. The rotation of the connecting frame 20 causes the screen 23 to shake up and down through the connecting rod 22, thereby making the screen 23 screen the pressed candied fruit. The qualified candied fruit slides into the receiving box 25, and the unqualified fruit falls into the receiving box 25 similar to the screen 23. This equipment can not only scrape and blow air on the outer wall of the pressure roller 5 to ensure the cleanliness of the pressure roller 5 and ensure the accuracy of the pressing work, but also screen the pressed candied fruit, reducing the subsequent screening time and improving efficiency.

[0053] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
