[0002] In the syrup production process, the step of adding powdered sugar to the sugar dissolving tank is crucial and requires a feeding device. Syrup production involves numerous food and chemical industries, and its quality directly impacts the final product's quality. However, the traditional powdered sugar feeding devices currently in use have a significant drawback: difficulty in cleaning. Because powdered sugar easily adheres to the inner walls of the device, and the design of traditional feeding devices may have hard-to-reach corners, it is difficult to thoroughly clean the inside of the device after each production run or when switching between different batches or types of syrup. Incomplete cleaning can lead to residual powdered sugar spoiling and bacterial growth inside the device, contaminating subsequent batches of powdered sugar added to the sugar dissolving tank and affecting the syrup's quality and safety. Furthermore, the difficulty in cleaning increases cleaning time and labor costs, reduces production efficiency, and hinders efficient and stable production operations, failing to meet the hygiene, quality, and efficiency requirements of modern syrup production.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and 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 protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] See Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the structure of this utility model is as follows: a sugar powder feeding device for the sugar feeding process, including a frame 1, a lifting bucket 2 slidably mounted on the frame 1, a driving device 3 for driving the lifting bucket 2 to move vertically mounted on the frame 1, a support 4 located on one side of the lifting bucket 2 at the lower end of the frame 1, a hopper 5 mounted on the support 4, a discharge port 6 corresponding to the lifting bucket 2 at the bottom of the hopper 5, a discharge plate 7 hinged to the bottom of the lifting bucket 2, tension springs 8 connected to the discharge plate 7 on both sides of the lifting bucket 2, guide wheels 9 on both sides of the discharge plate 7, and a discharge hopper 10 fixedly mounted on the other side of the lifting bucket 2 at the upper end of the frame 1, with guide grooves 11 on both side walls of the discharge hopper 10 corresponding to the guide wheels 9. Specifically, during operation, the driving device 3 drives the lifting bucket 2... The material is lowered to the hopper 5 on the support 4 at the lower end of the frame 1. The discharge port 6 at the bottom of the hopper 5 is aligned with the lifting hopper 2. Sugar powder is poured into the hopper 5 and falls into the lifting hopper 2 through the discharge port 6. Then, the drive device 3 drives the lifting hopper 2 to rise vertically. When the lifting hopper 2 reaches the unloading hopper 10 at the upper end of the frame 1, the guide wheels 9 on both sides of the unloading plate 7 slide along the guide groove 11 on the side wall of the unloading hopper 10, forcing the unloading plate 7 to rotate around the hinge point and opening the tension spring 8. The sugar powder in the lifting hopper 2 is unloaded into the unloading hopper 10 under the action of gravity. After unloading is completed, the lifting hopper 2 descends, the guide wheels 9 disengage from the guide groove 11, and the tension spring 8 contracts to pull the unloading plate 7 back to its original position and close the bottom of the lifting hopper 2, thus completing one feeding cycle and realizing the continuous conveying of sugar powder.

[0022] like Figure 4As shown, the drive device 3 includes a motor 301, and a winch 302 is provided at the output end of the motor 301. The wire rope 303 on the winch 302 is connected to the lifting bucket 2. Specifically, when the motor 301 is powered on, it drives the winch 302 to rotate. The winch 302 controls the vertical movement of the lifting bucket 2 by winding or releasing the wire rope 303.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the guide groove 11 includes a conical section 1101, one end of which is connected to a vertical section 1102. One end of the vertical section 1102 is provided with an arc-shaped section 1103. Specifically, during operation, the lifting bucket 2 rises, and the guide wheel 9 first contacts the conical section 1101 and enters the vertical section 1102 under its guidance. It then enters the arc-shaped section 1103 along the vertical section 1102. When the guide wheel 9 slides to the arc-shaped section 1103, as the lifting bucket 2 continues to rise, the unloading plate 7 gradually opens to unload the material. After unloading is completed, the lifting bucket 2 descends, causing the guide wheel 9 to retract into the vertical section 1102 along the arc-shaped section 1103. The unloading plate 7 gradually closes under the action of the tension spring 8, realizing the orderly connection between unloading and resetting.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the frame 1 is equipped with a crossbeam 12 corresponding to the unloading plate 7. The two sides of the crossbeam 12 are fixedly connected to the frame 1 through the support plate 13. Specifically, when the lifting bucket 2 receives material, the crossbeam 12 just locks the unloading plate 7. When the sugar powder falls from the bottom outlet 6 of the hopper 5 into the lifting bucket 2, the resulting impact force acts on the unloading plate 7. At this time, the crossbeam 12 can effectively prevent the unloading plate 7 from opening due to the impact force, avoid sugar powder leakage, keep the unloading plate 7 in a closed state, and ensure that the lifting bucket 2 can safely and stably receive the sugar powder.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the hopper 5 is equipped with a filter screen 14. Specifically, the filter screen 14 is used to filter lumps or foreign objects in the sugar powder.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, mounting grooves 15 are provided on both sides of the lifting bucket 2 corresponding to the positions of the discharge port 6. A baffle 16 is provided in the mounting groove 15. A locking bolt 17 is threadedly connected to the outside of the mounting groove 15. Specifically, according to the position of the discharge port 6 of the hopper 5 and the material receiving requirements, the position of the baffle 16 in the mounting groove 15 is adjusted, and it is fixed by tightening the locking bolt 17. This allows the baffle 16 to block the sugar powder splashed from both sides of the lifting bucket 2 when the lifting bucket 2 receives material, thus avoiding sugar powder spillage and waste and pollution.

[0027] like Figure 2As shown, a telescopic rod 18 is hinged to the bottom of the lifting bucket 2. One end of the telescopic rod 18 is hinged to the bottom of the unloading plate 7. A spring 19 is fitted on the telescopic rod 18, and an adjusting nut 20 is threadedly connected to the telescopic rod 18 at one end of the spring 19. Specifically, when the lifting bucket 2 rises to the unloading bucket 10 position, the guide wheel 9 slides along the guide groove 11 and applies external force to overcome the elastic force of the spring 19 and the tension spring 8, forcing the unloading plate 7 to rotate around the hinge point to open for unloading. After unloading is completed, the external force disappears, and the spring 19 and the tension spring 8 return to their original positions synchronously. The thrust at the lower end of the spring 19 and the tension at the upper end of the tension spring 8 work together to make the unloading plate 7 close quickly and tightly. The thrust of the spring 19 can be precisely adjusted by rotating the adjusting nut 20 to adapt to different weights of material loads, ensuring that the unloading plate 7 remains reliably closed when not unloading, thus improving the stability and safety of the lifting device.

[0028] In practical use, the drive device 3 drives the lifting bucket 2 to slide down the frame 1 to the hopper 5 on the support 4. The discharge port 6 at the bottom of the hopper 5 corresponds to the lifting bucket 2. Powdered sugar is poured into the hopper 5. The powdered sugar in the hopper 5 falls into the lifting bucket 2 through the discharge port 6. At this time, the tension spring 8 pulls the unloading plate 7 to keep it closed to prevent the powdered sugar from leaking out. After receiving the material, the drive device 3 drives the lifting bucket 2 to rise. When the lifting bucket 2 reaches the unloading hopper 10 at the top of the frame 1, the guide wheels 9 on both sides of the unloading plate 7 slide along the guide grooves 11 on both sides of the unloading hopper 10. As the guide wheels 9 slide, the guide grooves 11 force the unloading plate 7 to overcome the tension of the tension spring 8 and rotate around the hinge point to open. The powdered sugar in the lifting bucket 2 is unloaded into the unloading hopper 10 under the action of gravity. After unloading, the drive device 3 lowers the lifting bucket 2, the guide wheels 9 disengage from the guide grooves 11, the tension spring 8 contracts and pulls the unloading plate 7 to reset and close. The lifting bucket 2 returns to the initial position. This cycle repeats to complete the feeding of powdered sugar.

[0029] The present invention has been further described above with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific description herein should not be construed as limiting the substance and scope of the present invention. Various modifications made by those skilled in the art to the above embodiments after reading this specification are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
