Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of coating device technology, and in particular to a coating device for gel candies. Background Technology

[0002] In confectionery production, gel candies are widely popular due to their soft texture and unique taste. To enhance the flavor, variety, and appearance of the product, a layer of powdered material, such as acid powder, sugar powder, or functional powder, is often coated onto the surface of gel candies. The coating process is a key step in gel candy processing, imparting specific flavors or functions while also preventing sticking. To achieve large-scale, high-efficiency automated production, coating devices are typically used to evenly coat the candies with powder, improving overall production efficiency and product consistency.

[0003] Existing gel candy coating devices typically consist of a conveyor, a powder-spreading mechanism, and a powder-shaking mechanism. The candies enter the powder-spreading area via a conveyor belt, where the powder-spreading mechanism applies powder to the candy's surface. The powder-shaking mechanism then continuously tumbles the candies to achieve uniform powder adhesion. However, existing devices generally rely on vibration or rollers for coating and separating the candies from the powder. Subsequent steps, such as using a vibrating screen, are still required to separate the candies from excess powder. This cumbersome process negatively impacts overall production efficiency. Therefore, a gel candy coating device is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a powder coating device for gel candies, which aims to improve the problem that after the candies are coated with powder, it is still necessary to separate the candies from the excess powder by means of a vibrating screen, which makes the operation process cumbersome.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A coating device for gel candies includes a fixed frame, a coating mechanism on the top of the fixed frame, and a feeding mechanism on the top of the fixed frame;

[0007] The coating mechanism includes a coating box, which is rotatably connected to the top of a fixed frame. A motor is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame, and the output end of the motor passes through the fixed frame and is fixedly connected to the coating box. A transfer frame is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame, and a type B mesh belt conveyor is installed inside the transfer frame. A guide plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the transfer frame.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The guide plate has an arc shape, and its sidewalls fit into the bottom of the inner cavity of the powder coating box.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The B-type mesh belt conveyor has uniformly distributed pallets fixedly connected to its side wall, and the transfer frame has a discharge hopper fixedly connected to its side wall.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The feeding mechanism includes a conveying cylinder and a material box. A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveying cylinder. The fixing rod is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame. The bottom of the material box is fixedly connected to the inside of the conveying cylinder.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] A second motor is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveying cylinder. The output end of the second motor passes through the side wall of the conveying cylinder and is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft. An auger blade is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The rotating shaft is rotatably connected inside the conveying cylinder, and the sidewall of the auger blade is in contact with the inner wall of the conveying cylinder.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The conveying cylinder is fixedly connected to a discharge pipe, which is located at the top of the inner cavity of the powder coating box.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, after the candy enters the coating box, the coating box is rotated by motor one, so that the candy is evenly coated with powder. During the process, the candy and powder gradually accumulate to the guide plate, and then the B-type mesh belt conveyor, together with the pallet, transports it upward. The powder falls back into the coating box through the gap for recycling. Through the cooperation between the above structures, the effect of automatic coating and separation is achieved, which improves work efficiency.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, when candies are placed in the feeding box, the candies at the bottom will fall into the conveying cylinder due to their own weight. Then, the second motor is started to drive the rotating shaft and auger blade to rotate, pushing the candies toward the discharge pipe and falling into the coating box. This achieves the effect of automatic feeding, improves work efficiency, reduces manual intervention, and enhances the continuity and consistency of production. Attached Figure Description

[0030] 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.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a coating device for gel candies, including a fixed frame 1. A coating mechanism is installed at the top of the fixed frame 1 to uniformly coat the candy with powdered sugar, improving the product's appearance and taste. A feeding mechanism is also installed at the top of the fixed frame 1 for automatic candy feeding. The coating mechanism includes a coating box 3, which is rotatably connected to the top of the fixed frame 1. The box contains powdered sugar and rotates to achieve a dynamic rolling and coating effect, enhancing the adhesion between the powdered sugar and the candy surface. A motor 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 1, with its output end passing through the fixed frame 1 and fixedly connected to the coating box 3, driving the coating box 3 to rotate, simulating a manual rolling coating process to improve coating uniformity and efficiency. A transfer frame 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 1 to facilitate the coating of the candy. The transfer function after powder coating prevents the candies from being damaged or stuck due to accumulation. The transfer rack 4 is equipped with a type B mesh belt conveyor 6. The type B mesh belt has good powder permeability and air permeability, which helps to drop and recycle excess powder and keep the candies clean. The side wall of the transfer rack 4 is fixedly connected to a guide plate 5. The guide plate 5 is arc-shaped and fits against the bottom of the inner cavity of the powder coating box 3. It can effectively control the movement trajectory of the candies and facilitate the transfer of candies by the type B mesh belt conveyor 6. The side wall of the type B mesh belt conveyor 6 is fixedly connected to evenly distributed pallets 7. The pallets 7 are used to support the candies and push them to move in a direction, effectively preventing the candies from being mispositioned due to inertial slippage, thereby improving the stability of the conveying. The side wall of the transfer rack 4 is fixedly connected to a discharge hopper 8, which is used to smoothly export the powder-coated candies to the next process.

[0032] Reference Figures 4-5 The feeding mechanism includes a conveying cylinder 9 and a material box 11. A fixing rod 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveying cylinder 9 and is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing frame 1 to ensure that the feeding mechanism is stable and firm during operation and is not prone to shaking or deviation. The bottom end of the material box 11 is fixedly connected to the inside of the conveying cylinder 9 and is used to store the material to be conveyed. The material box 11 is connected to the conveying cylinder 9. A second motor 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveying cylinder 9. The output end of the second motor 12 passes through the side wall of the conveying cylinder 9 and is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 13. An auger blade 14 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating shaft 13. The rotating shaft 13 rotates. Connected inside the conveyor cylinder 9, the auger blade 14 has its side wall in contact with the inner wall of the conveyor cylinder 9. The auger blade 14 is spirally arranged along the rotating shaft 13 and is in contact with the inner wall of the conveyor cylinder 9 to form a spiral conveying channel. When the motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, the auger blade 14 can continuously push the material in the material box 11 forward, realize the function of continuous feeding, and improve production efficiency. The conveyor cylinder 9 is fixedly connected to the discharge pipe 15, which is set at the top of the inner cavity of the coating box 3. It can accurately transport the candy to the inside of the coating box 3 and provide a stable material source for the coating process.

[0033] Working principle: When the equipment is in operation, the sugar powder is first placed inside the coating box 3, and then the candy is placed inside the material box 11. The candy will then fall into the conveyor cylinder 9. Then, the motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn causes the auger blade 14 to rotate synchronously, gradually pushing the candy in the conveyor cylinder 9 towards the discharge pipe 15. Finally, the candy falls from the discharge pipe 15 into the coating box 3, achieving the effect of automatic feeding.

[0034] When the candy falls into the coating box 3, the motor 2 is started to rotate the coating box 3, and simultaneously moves the sugar powder and candy inside the coating box 3, so that the candy is coated with sugar powder. As the coating box 3 rotates, the sugar powder and candy will gradually accumulate at the guide plate 5. At this time, the type B mesh belt conveyor 6 is started, and the accumulated sugar powder and candy are gradually conveyed upward through the pallet 7. During the conveying process, the sugar powder will fall downward through the gap inside the type B mesh belt conveyor 6, while the candy will move with the type B mesh belt conveyor 6 and fall into the storage box placed at the bottom through the unloading hopper 8. The fallen sugar powder will slide back into the coating box 3 through the transfer rack 4 for continued use.

[0035] 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.
