Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chocolate coating mechanisms, and in particular to a coating mechanism for chocolate processing. Background Technology

[0002] Chocolate is a sweet made primarily from cocoa beans (the seeds of the cocoa tree). Coating finished chocolates with powder can improve their texture, enhance their appearance, extend their shelf life, or add layers of flavor.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent authorization announcement number CN219125286U, which discloses a device for coating the surface of chocolate with powder. This invention comprises a barrel, a feeding hopper, a discharging hopper, a rotating shaft, a connecting roller, a feeding plate, and a motor. When the feeding plate rotates, it pushes the chocolate entering the barrel from the feeding hopper, causing it to move inside the barrel and be discharged from the discharging hopper. During the movement, the chocolate comes into contact with the powder contained inside the barrel, completing the coating operation. At the same time, the coating is more even and there is no leakage. By setting up a powder return pipe, a fixed shaft, and a rotating roller, excess powder that does not adhere to the surface of the chocolate can be returned to the inside of the barrel, which facilitates the separation of excess powder from the chocolate and also reduces powder loss.

[0004] However, in implementing the relevant technology, the following problems were found with the above-mentioned equipment: the existing technology uses a motor to drive the connecting roller to rotate, so that the feeding plate can scrape the chocolate inside the barrel. Since the feeding plate that moves the chocolate can only fall along the feeding plate when it is tilted at a certain angle, the frequent start and stop of the motor can easily cause the motor to overheat. Therefore, the motor needs to keep rotating, which means that the feeding plate needs to keep moving. As a result, the feeding plate that moves the chocolate can only tilt for a short time, which affects the subsequent falling of the chocolate into the discharge hopper. Based on this, this utility model designs a coating mechanism for chocolate processing to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a coating mechanism for chocolate processing, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the prior art cannot effectively unload the coated chocolate from the inside of the barrel.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a coating mechanism for chocolate processing, comprising a fixed base plate, a fixed cylinder mounted on the top outer wall of the fixed base plate, a feed pipe mounted on the fixed cylinder, a supporting main shaft rotatably connected to the fixed cylinder, and pusher plates respectively mounted on the side walls of the supporting main shaft;

[0007] A transfer plate is installed at one end of the supporting main shaft. The transfer plate is provided with a guide groove and a limiting groove. A drive shaft is rotatably connected to the supporting main shaft. A drive plate is fixedly installed at one end of the drive shaft. A pull rod is installed on one side wall of the drive plate. A fixed shaft is installed on one side wall of the pull rod.

[0008] The fixed base plate has a discharge port, and a guide plate is installed on the discharge port.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a guide plate is installed on the bottom outer wall of the guide plate, and limit baffles are installed on both sides of the guide plate.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a vibration motor for driving the guide disk to vibrate is installed on the bottom outer wall of the guide disk.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, a return chute is provided on the fixed cylinder, and a protective mesh plate is installed on the return chute.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a support cover plate is connected to one side wall of the fixed cylinder by fixing bolts, and one end of the support main shaft is rotatably connected to the support cover plate.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, a drive motor is installed on the top outer wall of the fixed base plate, a drive pulley is connected to the output end of the drive motor, a driven pulley is installed on the side wall of the drive shaft, and the drive pulley is connected to the driven pulley via a transmission belt.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0015] By driving the drive plate to rotate, when the fixed shaft slides into the guide groove on the transfer plate, the transfer plate can be rotated, allowing the pusher plate to adjust its angle. When the fixed shaft drives the transfer plate to rotate 90 degrees, the fixed shaft will disengage from the guide groove on the transfer plate, and the transfer plate can be stopped. This allows the pusher plate on the main shaft to stop as well. Therefore, by intermittently driving the pusher plate to move, the pusher plate that drives the chocolate to move can remain stationary when tilted, which is beneficial for the chocolate to flow into the guide plate and be unloaded.

[0023] 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.

[0024] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-6The diagram shows a coating mechanism for chocolate processing, comprising a fixed base plate 1, a fixed cylinder 2 mounted on the top outer wall of the fixed base plate 1, a feed pipe 16 mounted on the fixed cylinder 2, a supporting main shaft 3 rotatably connected to the fixed cylinder 2, four pusher plates 4 evenly distributed on the side walls of the supporting main shaft 3, a distribution plate 5 mounted on one end of the supporting main shaft 3, four guide grooves 10 and four limit grooves 11 respectively, and a drive shaft 6 rotatably connected to the supporting main shaft 3, with a drive plate fixedly mounted on one end of the drive shaft 6. 7. The limiting groove 11 is a quarter circle, and its radius is equal to that of the drive disc 7. A pull rod 8 is installed on one side wall of the drive disc 7, and a fixed shaft 9 is installed on one side wall of the pull rod 8. The distance from the center of the drive shaft 6 to the center of the fixed shaft 9 is equal to the position of the bisector of the distance from the center of the limiting groove 11 to the guide groove 10, so that after the drive disc 7 rotates one revolution, the fixed shaft 9 can be inserted into the guide groove 10. A discharge port 12 is provided on the fixed base plate 1, and a guide disc 13 is installed on the discharge port 12. When using this mechanism, first, the chocolate is put into the inside of the fixed cylinder 2 through the feed pipe 16, and then the drive disc 7 is rotated. By rotating the drive disc 7, the chocolate can be inserted into the fixed cylinder 2. The fixed shaft 9 on the synchronous drive rod 8 moves synchronously. When the fixed shaft 9 slides and engages with the guide groove 10 on the distribution plate 5, it can drive the distribution plate 5 to rotate, thereby enabling the support main shaft 3 to drive the pusher plate 4 to rotate. This allows the chocolate that has just been put into the fixed base plate 1 to enter the powder at the bottom of the fixed base plate 1. At the same time, the other pusher plate 4 on the support main shaft 3 can drive the already powdered chocolate in the powder to move. When the fixed shaft 9 drives the distribution plate 5 to rotate 90 degrees, the fixed shaft 9 will move out of the guide groove 10 on the distribution plate 5. At the same time, the other half of the drive plate 7 enters the limiting groove 11, which can separate the chocolate. The moving plate 5 is limited, so that the distributing plate 5 can be in a stopped state, thereby stopping the pusher plate 4 on the supporting main shaft 3. At this time, the pusher plate 4 on the supporting main shaft 3 that pushes the chocolate can be aligned with the outlet 12. Only when the driving plate 7 drives the fixed shaft 9 to slide and engage with the guide groove 10 on the distributing plate 5 again can the pusher plate 4 continue to move, so that the chocolate on the pusher plate 4 has enough time to fall into the guide plate 13. Therefore, by driving the pusher plate 4 to move intermittently, the device can keep the pusher plate 4 stationary when it is tilted, so that the chocolate can flow more fully into the guide plate 13.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a guide plate 15 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the guide plate 13. Limiting baffles 17 are installed on both sides of the guide plate 15. The limiting baffles 17 can limit the powder on the guide plate 15. A vibration motor 14 for driving the guide plate 13 to vibrate is installed on the bottom outer wall of the guide plate 13. The vibration motor 14 is a small motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical vibration. It is usually driven by an eccentric rotor or a linear resonator (LRA). It generates high-frequency micro-amplitude vibration through the rotation or reciprocating motion of the internal unbalanced mass block. After the chocolate falls onto the guide plate 13, the excess powder will fall into the guide plate 15 through the drain hole on the guide plate 13, and then flow back into the fixed cylinder 2. The vibration motor 14 can generate vibration, so that the guide plate 13 can generate a certain vibration, which is conducive to the smooth entry of excess powder into the guide plate 15.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 As shown, a return chute is provided on the upper part of the fixed cylinder 2, and a protective mesh plate 18 is installed on the return chute. The powder on the guide plate 15 enters the interior of the fixed cylinder 2 through the return chute, and the protective mesh plate 18 helps to prevent the chocolate from entering the guide plate 15 from the return chute.

[0027] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, a support cover plate 22 is connected to one side wall of the fixed cylinder 2 by fixing bolts. One end of the support main shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the support cover plate 22. The support cover plate 22 can cover one end of the fixed cylinder 2 and support one end of the support main shaft 3.

[0028] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, a drive motor 19 is installed on the top outer wall of the fixed base plate 1. The drive motor 19 is a DC brushless motor, which can be speed controlled by a PWM controller. A drive pulley 20 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 19. A driven pulley 21 is installed on the side wall of the drive shaft 6. The drive pulley 20 is connected to the driven pulley 21 through a transmission belt. The drive motor 19 drives the drive pulley 20 at its output end to rotate, thereby enabling the driven pulley 21 to drive the drive shaft 6 to rotate.

[0029] Working principle of this utility model: This utility model is a coating mechanism for chocolate processing. Chocolate is fed into the inside of the fixed cylinder 2 through the feeding pipe 16. Then, the drive plate 7 is driven to rotate. When the drive plate 7 rotates, it can synchronously drive the fixed shaft 9 on the pull rod 8 to move. When the fixed shaft 9 slides and engages with the guide groove 10 on the split plate 5, it can drive the split plate 5 to rotate, thereby driving the support main shaft 3 to rotate. This allows the push plate 4 to adjust its angle, so that the chocolate that has just been fed into the fixed base plate 1 can enter the powder at the bottom of the fixed base plate 1. At the same time, another push plate 4 can drive the already coated chocolate in the powder to move.

[0030] When the fixed shaft 9 drives the transfer plate 5 to rotate 90 degrees, the fixed shaft 9 will disengage from the guide groove 10 on the transfer plate 5. Then, the other half of the drive plate 7 enters the limiting groove 11 to limit the transfer plate 5, so that the transfer plate 5 can be in a stationary state. This allows the pusher plate 4 on the supporting main shaft 3 to stop, and the pusher plate 4 that pushes the chocolate can be aligned with the outlet 12. When the drive plate 7 drives the fixed shaft 9 to slide and engage with the guide groove 10 on the transfer plate 5 again, the pusher plate 4 can continue to move, so that the chocolate on the pusher plate 4 can fall completely onto the guide plate 13. Therefore, by intermittently driving the pusher plate 4 to move, the pusher plate 4 that drives the chocolate to move can remain stationary when tilted, which is conducive to the chocolate flowing into the guide plate 13 for discharge.

[0031] 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
