Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gummy candy production technology, specifically to a casting device for producing goji berry lutein ester gummy candy. Background Technology

[0002] In the industrial production of goji berry lutein ester gummies, the casting process, as a key step that determines product quality and production efficiency, has always received much attention.

[0003] In the production of gummy candies, syrup storage tanks require frequent syrup injection and pouring operations. The volume of the gas phase space inside the tank changes continuously, causing pressure fluctuations. Traditional storage tanks mostly adopt open or simple sealed structures. Open structures are directly connected to the outside air, and oxygen can easily enter, leading to the oxidation of lutein lipids. Although simple sealed structures isolate air, when pouring operations are performed, the syrup level inside the tank drops, and the gas phase space increases accordingly, resulting in a decrease in the pressure inside the tank. When syrup is replenished, the level rises, the gas phase space decreases, and the pressure increases again. Therefore, we propose a pouring device for the production of goji berry lutein lipid gummy candies. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a casting device for producing goji berry lutein lipid soft candy, including a material storage tank 1. An exhaust pipe 4 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the material storage tank 1. An exhaust valve disc 12 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the exhaust pipe 4. The cross-section of the exhaust valve disc 12 is annular. A sealing disc 2 13 is provided at the upper end of the exhaust valve disc 12. A limiting rod 2 14 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the sealing disc 2 13. The upper end of the limiting rod 2 14 extends to the outside of the exhaust pipe 4. A gas conveying pipe 2 17 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the exhaust pipe 4. A gas storage cylinder 7 is fixedly installed at one end of the gas conveying pipe 2 17. A gas conveying pipe 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage tank 7. An air inlet pipe 5 is fixedly installed at one end of the gas conveying pipe 8. A sealing disc 9 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the air inlet pipe 5. The cross-section of the sealing disc 9 is annular. An air inlet valve disc 10 is provided at the upper end of the sealing disc 9. A limit rod 11 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the air inlet valve disc 10. The upper end of the limit rod 11 extends to the outside of the air inlet pipe 5. A connecting pipe 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the air inlet pipe 5. One end of the connecting pipe 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the exhaust pipe 4. A feed pipe 3 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the material storage tank 1. A conveying assembly 2 is provided at the bottom of the material storage tank 1.

[0021] In an optional embodiment: the conveying assembly 2 includes a discharge pipe 22, which is fixedly installed at the bottom of the material storage tank 1. A conveying pump 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the discharge pipe 22. A discharge pipe 23 is fixedly installed at the output end of the conveying pump 21. An outer tube 24 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the discharge pipe 23. A cavity is formed between the discharge pipe 23 and the outer tube 24. A heating wire 25 is wound around the outer surface of the discharge pipe 23.

[0022] It should be noted that when the syrup flows in the discharge pipe 23, the heating wire 25 is aligned and heated so that it does not solidify at the point of contact with the discharge pipe 23, and remains in a molten state. This ensures that the syrup can flow smoothly in the discharge pipe 23, improving the efficiency of pouring.

[0023] In an optional embodiment: an installation tube 27 is fixedly installed on the side end of the outer tube 24, a fan 28 is fixedly installed on the inner side end of the installation tube 27, and an air outlet 26 is provided at the bottom end of the heating wire 25 in a through-hole configuration.

[0024] It should be noted that after the pouring is completed, the hot air inside the outer pipe 24 can be discharged by the fan 28, which avoids the aging of the pipe body. On the other hand, it can also avoid the phenomenon of condensation inside the pipe body due to the large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the pipe body.

[0025] In an optional embodiment: the longitudinal section of the middle through hole of the exhaust valve disc 12 and the longitudinal section of the second sealing disc 13 are both inverted trapezoidal, and the longitudinal section of the middle through hole of the first sealing disc 9 and the longitudinal section of the intake valve disc 10 are both inverted trapezoidal.

[0026] It should be noted that the shape, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, can provide some support for the valve disc, eliminating the need for other support structures.

[0027] In an optional embodiment: a plurality of support rods 15 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the gas storage cylinder 7, and the bottom ends of the plurality of support rods 15 are fixedly installed at the top of the material storage tank 1.

[0028] It should be noted that the gas storage cylinder 7 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the material storage tank 1 by the support rod 15.

[0029] In an optional embodiment: a plurality of support rods 16 are fixedly installed on the upper end of the delivery pump 21, and the upper ends of the plurality of support rods 16 are fixedly installed on the bottom end of the material storage tank 1.

[0030] It should be noted that the conveying pump 21 is installed at the bottom of the material storage tank 1 by means of the support rod 2 16.

[0031] In an optional embodiment: a dustproof net is fixedly installed at the air inlet end of the mounting pipe 27, and a dustproof net is fixedly installed at the air outlet end of the air outlet 26.

[0032] It should be noted that dust and other impurities should be prevented from being sucked into the outer tube 24. This dust accumulation on the surface of the discharge tube 23 and the heating wire 25 will reduce heat conduction and the heating effect of the heating wire 25.

[0033] In practical use, the working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] One-way valves are installed on the feed pipe 3, gas delivery pipe 2 17, and gas delivery pipe 1 8. The syrup in the material storage tank 1 is transported to the pouring port via the conveying assembly 2, causing the syrup level in the material storage tank 1 to decrease and the liquid level to drop. This creates a negative pressure inside the material storage tank 1, which draws up the air inlet valve disc 10. Air from the gas storage cylinder 7 then enters the material storage tank 1 sequentially through the gas delivery pipe 1 8, the air inlet pipe 5, the connecting pipe 6, and the exhaust pipe 4, thus regulating the pressure inside the material storage tank 1. When syrup is injected into the material storage tank 1 through the feed pipe 3... As the amount of syrup in material storage tank 1 increases, the liquid level rises accordingly, causing the gas in material storage tank 1 to be compressed. This compressed gas is then pushed into exhaust pipe 4, lifting sealing plate 13, allowing the gas in material storage tank 1 to enter gas storage cylinder 7 through gas delivery pipe 17, ensuring normal gas pressure in material storage tank 1. Gas storage cylinder 7 uses a telescopic tube, and its internal storage area is adjustable. At the same time, the gas filled in gas storage cylinder 7 is an inert gas such as nitrogen. Oxygen will promote the oxidation of lutein lipids. The connecting pipe 6 is made of rigid material, which can support the air inlet pipe 5.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
