[0003] In candy production, the dissolution of raw materials is a key step that determines product quality, taste, and production efficiency. A large amount of steam waste heat is generated during the heating and dissolution process. If this waste heat is directly discharged, it will not only waste energy but also increase production costs.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new candy raw material dissolving tank to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the technical problem of energy waste caused by the direct discharge of large amounts of waste steam generated during the heating and melting of candy raw materials, this utility model provides a candy raw material melting tank.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the candy raw material dissolving tank provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] This utility model provides a canister for dissolving candy raw materials:

[0015] The screening frame allows for the screening of raw materials, which helps improve the quality of the raw materials and the effect of subsequent heating and dissolving, ensuring the quality of candy products. The steam recovery mechanism recovers and utilizes the steam discharged from the exhaust pipe, effectively solving the technical problem of energy waste caused by direct discharge of steam waste heat, improving energy utilization efficiency, and reducing production costs. Through the synergistic action of the filter screen and activated carbon adsorption plate in the filter box, impurities and odors in the steam are effectively removed, improving the quality of the steam and preventing impurities and odors from adversely affecting the subsequent steam recovery and utilization process. The steam emitter can pressurize the steam and deliver it to the raw material water storage device, ensuring that the steam can be smoothly recovered and utilized, further improving the efficiency of energy recovery and utilization and reducing energy waste.

[0016] The drive motor rotates the cam, which in turn causes the screening frame to reciprocate and vibrate to screen the raw materials. Compared with static screening, it can more effectively screen out impurities and unqualified particles in the raw materials, improve the purity and quality of the raw materials, and ensure the quality of subsequent candy production. The rotation of the stirring wheel can break the static state of the raw materials in the tank, so that the raw materials can fully contact the heat transferred by the heating plate, accelerate the heat transfer speed, and thus significantly improve the heating and dissolving efficiency of candy raw materials and shorten the production cycle.

[0017] The insulation jacket reduces heat loss, helps maintain a relatively stable temperature environment inside the tank, avoids the impact of temperature fluctuations on the heating and dissolving effect of raw materials, ensures that raw materials can be heated and dissolved evenly and stably, and improves product quality.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4. Figure 1 is a front view of a preferred embodiment of the candy raw material dissolving tank provided by this utility model; Figure 2 is a front cross-sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the candy raw material dissolving tank provided by this utility model; Figure 3 is an enlarged view of part A shown in Figure 2; and Figure 4 is an enlarged view of part B shown in Figure 2.

[0025] The candy raw material dissolving tank includes: a tank body 1, with a feed inlet 2 at the top and a discharge pipe 3 with a valve fixedly connected to the bottom of the tank body 1; a screening frame 4 for screening the raw materials, which is slidably mounted on the tank body 1, with guide rods 5 fixedly mounted on both sides of the screening frame 4, the guide rods 5 slidingly penetrating the tank body 1; a mounting groove 6, located on the inner wall of the tank body 1, with a heating plate 7 fixedly mounted inside the mounting groove 6; an exhaust pipe 8, fixedly connected to one side of the tank body 1; and a steam recovery mechanism, located on the exhaust pipe 8, for recovering and utilizing steam. The screening frame 4 allows for screening of the raw materials, which helps improve the quality of the raw materials and the effect of subsequent heating and dissolving, ensuring the quality of the candy products. The steam recovery mechanism recovers and utilizes the steam discharged from the exhaust pipe 8, effectively solving the technical problem of energy waste caused by directly discharging waste heat from steam, improving energy utilization, and reducing production costs.

[0026] The steam recovery mechanism includes a filter box 9, a filter screen 10, an activated carbon adsorption plate 11, and a steam emitter 12. The filter box 9 is located at the exhaust end of the exhaust pipe 8. The filter screen 10 and the activated carbon adsorption plate 11 are both located inside the filter box 9. The inlet end of the steam emitter 12 is fixedly connected to the exhaust end of the exhaust pipe 8, and the outlet end of the steam emitter 12 is connected to the raw water storage device. Through the synergistic action of the filter screen 10 and the activated carbon adsorption plate 11 within the filter box 9, impurities and odors in the steam are effectively removed, improving the quality of the steam and preventing impurities and odors from adversely affecting the subsequent steam recovery and utilization process. The steam emitter 12 can pressurize the steam and deliver it to the raw water storage device, ensuring that the steam can be successfully recovered and utilized, further improving the efficiency of energy recovery and utilization and reducing energy waste.

[0027] A protective box 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the tank 1. A cam 14 is rotatably installed inside the protective box 13. A drive motor 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the protective box 13. The cam 14 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 15 through a coupling. A wheel 16 is rotatably installed at one end of the guide rod 5. The wheel 16 contacts the cam 14. The drive motor 15 drives the cam 14 to rotate, thereby causing the screening frame 4 to perform reciprocating sliding vibration screening of the raw materials. Compared with static screening, it can more effectively screen out impurities and unqualified particles in the raw materials, improve the purity and quality of the raw materials, and ensure the quality of subsequent candy production.

[0028] A stirring wheel 17 is rotatably installed inside the tank 1, and a stirring motor 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the tank 1. The stirring wheel 17 is connected to the output shaft of the stirring motor 18 through a coupling. The rotation of the stirring wheel 17 can break the static state of the raw materials in the tank 1, so that the raw materials can fully contact the heat transferred by the heating plate 7, accelerate the heat transfer speed, and thus significantly improve the heating and dissolving efficiency of the candy raw materials and shorten the production cycle.

[0029] The tank body 1 is covered with an insulation sleeve 19. The insulation sleeve 19 is provided with multiple mounting plates that are connected to the tank body 1. The insulation sleeve 19 can reduce heat loss and help maintain a relatively stable temperature environment inside the tank body 1. It can prevent the heating and dissolving effect of raw materials from being affected by temperature fluctuations, ensure that the raw materials can be heated and dissolved evenly and stably, and improve product quality.

[0030] The guide rod 5 is fitted with a return spring 20. The two ends of the return spring 20 are fixed to the tank body 1 and the screening frame 4 respectively. The return spring 20 enables the screening frame 4 to automatically reset after being pushed by the cam 14.

[0031] The top of the tank 1 is covered with a sealing cover 21, and a water inlet pipe 22 with a valve is fixedly connected to the sealing cover 21. The sealing cover 21 enables the tank 1 to maintain a good sealing state during the heating and dissolving of raw materials, reducing heat loss and improving energy utilization efficiency. The water inlet pipe 22 facilitates the addition of water to the tank 1 as needed during the production process.

[0032] It is worth noting that the circuits, electronic components, and modules involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need not be elaborated upon. The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the software and methods.

[0033] The working principle of the candy raw material dissolving tank provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0034] This solution also includes an electrical control cabinet, which is installed on the equipment. During use, each piece of electrical equipment can be started and operated separately through the electrical control cabinet. The power connection method of each piece of electrical equipment is an existing mature technology and is well known to those in the field, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0035] In use, candy ingredients are added to the tank 1 through the feed inlet 2 at the top of the tank 1. The ingredients first fall onto the screening frame 4. The drive motor 15 is turned on, and the drive motor 15 drives the cam 14 to rotate, pushing the wheel 16 to slide the guide rod 5. This causes the screening frame 4 to reciprocate and vibrate on the tank 1 to screen the ingredients. During this process, the return spring 20 is compressed or stretched, resulting in elastic deformation. When the cam 14 rotates to a certain position and no longer applies a pushing force to the wheel 16, the return spring 20, relying on its own elastic restoring force, will pull or push the screening frame 4, causing the guide rod 5 to reset. The screening frame 4 returns to its initial position, preparing for the next push of the cam 14. This process is repeated to vibrate and screen the ingredients in the tank 1.

[0036] After sieving, the heating plate 7 is activated to heat and dissolve the raw materials in the tank 1. During dissolution, the stirring motor 18 is turned on. The output shaft of the stirring motor 18 drives the stirring wheel 17, which is installed in the tank 1, to start rotating through the coupling. The stirring wheel 17 rotates continuously in the tank 1 to stir the candy raw materials that are being heated and dissolved, so that the raw materials are heated more evenly and the dissolution process is accelerated.

[0037] During the heating and dissolving of the candy raw materials in tank 1, a large amount of steam is generated and discharged through exhaust pipe 8. The steam first enters filter box 9, where filter screen 10 initially filters larger particulate impurities in the steam. Activated carbon adsorption plate 11 further adsorbs odors, small particles, and other harmful substances in the steam, purifying it. The purified steam enters the inlet of steam emitter 12, which pressurizes the steam and then sends it to the raw material water storage device through its outlet. This preheats the raw material water that will be used later, achieving steam recovery and utilization. After the raw materials have been heated and dissolved, the discharge pipe 3 with a valve at the bottom of tank 1 is opened to discharge the dissolved material.

[0038] Compared with related technologies, the candy raw material dissolving tank provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0039] This utility model provides a candy raw material dissolving tank. The raw materials can be screened by the screening frame 4, which helps to improve the quality of the raw materials and the effect of subsequent heating and dissolving, thus ensuring the quality of candy products. The steam recovery mechanism recovers and utilizes the steam discharged from the exhaust pipe 8, effectively solving the technical problem of energy waste caused by direct discharge of steam waste heat, improving energy utilization and reducing production costs. Through the synergistic action of the filter screen 10 and the activated carbon adsorption plate 11 in the filter box 9, impurities and odors in the steam are effectively removed, improving the quality of the steam and avoiding the adverse effects of impurities and odors on the subsequent steam recovery and utilization process. The steam emitter 12 can pressurize the steam and deliver it to the raw material water storage device, ensuring that the steam can be smoothly recovered and utilized, further improving the efficiency of energy recovery and utilization and reducing energy waste.

[0040] The drive motor 15 drives the cam 14 to rotate, which in turn causes the screening frame 4 to reciprocate and slide to vibrate and screen the raw materials. Compared with static screening, this method can more effectively screen out impurities and non-compliant particles in the raw materials, improve the purity and quality of the raw materials, and ensure the quality of subsequent candy production. The rotation of the stirring wheel 17 can break the static state of the raw materials in the tank 1, allowing the raw materials to fully contact the heat transferred by the heating plate 7, accelerating the heat transfer speed, thereby significantly improving the heating and dissolving efficiency of the candy raw materials and shortening the production cycle. The insulation sleeve 19 can reduce heat loss and help maintain a relatively stable temperature environment in the tank 1, avoiding the impact of temperature fluctuations on the heating and dissolving effect of the raw materials, ensuring that the raw materials can be heated and dissolved evenly and stably, and improving product quality. The return spring 20 allows the screening frame 4 to automatically reset after being pushed by the cam 14. The sealing cover 21 ensures that the tank 1 maintains a good sealing state during the heating and dissolving process of the raw materials, reducing heat loss and improving energy utilization efficiency. The water inlet pipe 22 facilitates the addition of water to the tank 1 as needed during the production process.
