[0031] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. 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.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a fructose weighing device for beverage production includes a storage bin 1 for storing fructose, a conveying module, and a weighing sensor module. The storage bin 1 is located above the conveying module and has a discharge pipe 11. One end of the discharge pipe 11 is connected to the storage bin 1, and the other end faces the conveying module. The weighing sensor module is connected to the conveying module. The conveying module includes a conveyor belt 21, a first rotating motor 22, and a support frame 23. The conveyor belt 21 is located below the storage bin 1. The output end of a rotating motor 22 is connected to the drive end of a conveyor belt 21 to drive the conveyor belt 21 to transport fructose. A support frame 23 is installed at the lower end of the conveyor belt 21 to support the conveyor belt 21. The upper end of the support frame 23 is provided with a support end for connecting the conveyor belt 21. The weighing sensor module includes a weighing sensor 31 and a control board 32. The weighing sensor 31 is installed at the support end to detect the supporting weight of the support end. The weighing sensor 31 is electrically connected to the control board 32. The control board 32 is electrically connected to the first rotating motor 22.
[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Fructose is stored in the storage bin 1 and falls onto the conveyor belt 21 through the discharge pipe 11. A weighing sensor 31, installed at the support end of the support frame 23, can monitor the weight of the fructose on the conveyor belt 21 in real time and transmit the data to the control board 32. The control board 32 adjusts the rotation speed of the first rotating motor 22 based on the weighing data, thereby controlling the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 21. The control board 32 controls the conveying rate of the conveyor belt 21 according to the set amount of fructose to be added. By adjusting the conveying speed, the proportion of fructose in beverage production is controlled. This dynamic detection method eliminates the need for manual weighing and feeding, improving the automation of the equipment.
[0034] Further as Figures 1-2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the conveyor belt 21 is also provided with baffles 12, which are respectively installed on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt 21. The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the baffles 12, installed on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt 21, restrict the lateral movement of fructose during the conveying process, ensuring that the fructose is conveyed along the center line of the conveyor belt 21 to the guide plate 211. The baffles 12 effectively prevent fructose from overflowing or deviating from the path during high-speed conveying, reducing raw material waste.
[0035] Further as Figures 5-7 As shown, in another embodiment of this utility model, the multifunctional fructose weighing device further includes a conveying device 4. The conveying device 4 includes a hopper 41, a cylinder 42, a screw conveyor 43, and a second rotating motor 44. The hopper 41 is located below the conveyor belt 21, with its upper end facing the rear end of the conveyor belt 21. The lower end of the hopper 41 is connected to the cylinder 42. The screw conveyor 43 is rotatably installed inside the cylinder 42. The rotation output end of the second rotating motor 44 is connected to the screw conveyor 43. A discharge port 45 is provided at the rear end of the cylinder 42. Specifically, the rotating and stirring action of the screw conveyor 43 disperses the fructose particles, prevents clumping, and continuously propels the fructose, ensuring a stable flow rate at the discharge port 45 and preventing blockage.
[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the conveyor belt 21 transports fructose to the hopper 41, the fructose enters the cylinder 42 through the hopper 41, and the spiral conveyor rod 43 rotates under the drive of the second rotating motor 44, pushing the fructose to the discharge port 45, while stirring the fructose at the same time.
[0037] Further as Figures 1-2 As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, a guide plate 211 is provided at one end of the conveyor belt 21 near the hopper 41. One end of the guide plate 211 abuts against the conveyor belt 21, and the other end of the guide plate 211 faces the hopper 41. The inclination angle of the guide plate 211 is aligned with the inlet of the hopper 41 to reduce the impact force of the falling fructose and prevent fructose from splashing inside the hopper 41.
[0038] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The guide plate 211 is installed at an angle at the end of the conveyor belt 21 to guide the fructose from the conveyor belt 21 to the inlet of the hopper 41, thereby reducing the dispersion of fructose when it falls freely.
[0039] Further as Figures 1-4 and Figures 8-10As shown in this embodiment of the present invention, the feeding device 4 further includes a preheating component, which is detachably installed between the hopper 41 and the cylinder 42. The preheating component includes a heating tube 51 and an electric heating strip 52. One end of the heating tube 51 is connected to the lower port of the hopper 41, and the other end of the heating tube 51 is connected to the cylinder 42. The heating tube 51 has several heating holes 53 along its axial direction, and the electric heating strip 52 is inserted into the heating holes 53 for heating the heating tube 51. Specifically, one end of the heating tube 51 is installed at the lower end of the hopper 41 and connected to the lower port of the hopper 41, and the other end of the heating tube 51 is installed at the upper end of the cylinder 42 and connected to the feed inlet 46 of the cylinder 42.
[0040] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The electric heating strip 52 is inserted into the heating hole 53 of the heating tube 51 to heat the heating tube 51. The heat is conducted to the fructose through the tube wall, keeping the fructose dry and fluid, and preventing the fructose from clumping. On the other hand, moderate heating loosens the fructose particles, making it easier for the spiral conveyor rod 43 to transport them evenly.
[0041] Further as Figures 6-10 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the discharge port 45 is located near the end of the spiral conveyor rod 43.
[0042] Further as Figures 8-11 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the material cylinder 42 is also provided with a flow divider 421. The flow divider 421 is detachably installed at the rear end of the material cylinder 42, and the lower end of the flow divider 421 is provided with a plurality of point pours 4211.
[0043] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: The diverting nozzle 421 is installed at the rear end of the feed cylinder 42, dividing the fructose flow into multiple streams, which are then evenly injected into different positions of the beverage mixing tank through multiple point nozzles 4211. By dispersing the fructose injection positions through multiple point nozzles 4211, excessively high local concentrations are avoided, allowing the fructose to be mixed more evenly in beverage production.
[0044] Further as Figures 1-2 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the support end includes a first support rod 231 and a second support rod 232. The upper end of the first support rod 231 abuts against the front end of the conveyor belt 21, and the second support rod 232 abuts against the rear end of the conveyor belt 21. The weighing sensor 31 is respectively installed on the abutting ends of the first support rod 231 and the second support rod 232.
[0045] Specifically, a drive wheel is rotatably mounted at the front end of the conveyor belt 21, and a driven wheel is rotatably mounted at the rear end of the conveyor belt 21. A first support rod 231 is used to support the drive wheel of the conveyor belt 21, and a second support rod 232 is used to support the driven wheel of the conveyor belt 21. The weighing sensor 31 is respectively installed at the abutting ends of the first support rod 231 and the second support rod 232, which enables more accurate acquisition of weight data and better control of the fructose transmission amount by controlling the rotation speed of the first rotating motor 22.
[0046] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: the first support rod 231 and the second support rod 232 support the front and rear ends of the conveyor belt 21 respectively. The weighing sensor 31 is installed at the abutting end of the two support rods to symmetrically measure the load of the conveyor belt 21. The double support rod design improves the measurement stability and accuracy and reduces weighing error.
[0047] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
