Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dried fruit processing technology, specifically a rapid sugar infiltration device for dried fruit processing. Background Technology

[0002] Dried fruit is a processed food made by removing most of the water from fruits through natural sun-drying, baking, or dehydration techniques, making it easy to preserve for a long time. Sugar infiltration is the core step in dried fruit processing, serving multiple purposes including dehydration, preservation, flavor improvement, and efficiency enhancement. It significantly shortens the processing cycle while retaining nutrients and taste, making it a key process in the industrial production of dried fruit.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent application number 202421267517.2 provides a rapid sugar-infusion device for processing dried fruit. After soaking, by activating the drive unit, the sugar-infusion tank can be rotated around the pivot rod, so that the top opening of the sugar-infusion tank is rotated to a downward tilted state. Under the action of gravity, the fruit inside the sugar-infusion tank can flow out more smoothly, thereby improving the efficiency of feeding. Compared with manually removing the fruit, it can save labor costs and reduce manual intervention. Furthermore, due to the viscosity of the syrup, some syrup will adhere to the surface of the fruit and flow out with the fruit, maximizing the retention of syrup on the surface of the fruit and reducing the loss of sugar during the separation process, thereby ensuring sweetness and taste.

[0004] However, during the use of the above equipment, it was found that when the sugar infusion tank rotates around the rotating rod, the drive component needs to overcome the resistance generated by gravity. Especially during the rotation, the effect of gravity on the drive component will gradually increase under the lever principle. This will cause the load on the drive component to increase continuously. If the sugar infusion tank is fully loaded and has a large weight, it will easily cause the drive component to bear a large load, which will affect its service life in the long run. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a rapid sugar-infusing device for dried fruit processing, which solves the problems mentioned in the background technology, such as the driving component needing to overcome the resistance generated by gravity when the sugar-infusing tank rotates around the rotating rod, and the large weight of the sugar-infusing tank when fully loaded, which easily leads to the driving component bearing a large load and affecting its service life in the long run.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rapid sugar-infusing device for dried fruit processing, comprising a base frame and a sugar-infusing tank. A stirring assembly is mounted on the base frame, and a fixing assembly is provided on the base frame. The fixing assembly includes two mutually symmetrical fixing frames, and a turntable is rotatably mounted on each fixing frame. The sugar-infusing tank is positioned between the turntables of the two fixing frames. Each fixing frame includes a driving assembly, which includes a third motor. The output end of the third motor is connected to a worm gear, which is rotatably mounted in the fixing frame. The worm gear meshes with a worm wheel, and the worm wheel is fixedly connected to the turntable via a rotating shaft.

[0007] Preferably, the turntable is provided with a ring array of positioning rods, and mounting blocks are provided on both sides of the sugar infusion tank. The mounting blocks are provided with positioning holes corresponding to the positioning rods.

[0008] Preferably, the stirring assembly includes a lifting mechanism, on which a first motor is mounted. The output end of the first motor is connected to a connecting plate, which is connected to the stirrer by bolts. The stirrer corresponds to the sugar infiltration tank.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing assembly includes an adjusting frame, in which a bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably mounted. The bidirectional threaded rod is connected to the output end of the second motor. Parallel sliding rods are arranged on both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod. A movable frame is screwed onto the threads at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod. The movable frame is slidably connected to the sliding rods. The fixing frame is fixedly mounted on the movable frame.

[0010] Preferably, the adjustment frame is slidably mounted on the base frame.

[0011] Preferably, guide plates are fixedly provided at both ends of the bottom of the adjustment frame, the guide plates are in contact with the base frame, and fastening bolts are installed on the guide plates.

[0012] This invention provides a rapid sugar-coating device for dried fruit processing. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) This utility model uses a third motor to drive a worm gear, which meshes with a worm wheel to drive the turntable to rotate, thereby driving the sugar infusion tank to rotate. The worm gear transmission has the characteristics of large transmission ratio and compact structure, which can provide a large torque and more effectively overcome the gravitational resistance when the sugar infusion tank is fully loaded. At the same time, the worm gear transmission has good self-locking performance, which can accurately maintain the sugar infusion tank at the set tilt angle when the drive stops, reducing the load on the third motor.

[0014] (2) The present invention drives the moving frame to move along the slide bar by rotating the bidirectional threaded rod in the fixed component, thereby causing the positioning rod on the turntable to match the positioning hole on the sugar infusion barrel, thus facilitating the drive component to stably control the rotation of the sugar infusion barrel.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a rapid sugar-infusing device for dried fruit processing, including a base frame 1 and a sugar-infusing tank 4. A stirring assembly 2 is installed on the base frame 1, and a fixing assembly 3 is provided on the base frame 1. The fixing assembly 3 includes two mutually symmetrical fixing frames 36, and a turntable 37 is rotatably installed on the fixing frames 36. The sugar-infusing tank 4 is located between the turntables 37 of the two fixing frames 36. Each fixing frame 36 includes a driving assembly 5, which includes a third motor 51. The output end of the third motor 51 is connected to a worm gear 52, which is rotatably installed in the fixing frame 36. The worm gear 52 meshes with a worm wheel 53, and the worm wheel 53 is fixedly connected to the turntable 37 through a rotating shaft 54.

[0029] The mixing assembly 2 includes a lifting mechanism, on which a first motor 21 is installed. The output end of the first motor 21 is connected to a connecting plate 22, which is connected to the stirrer 23 by bolts. The stirrer 23 corresponds to the sugar infiltration tank 4.

[0030] Specifically, the specific structure of the lifting mechanism in the mixing assembly 2 has been described in detail in the referenced document. The lifting mechanism is mainly used to drive the stirrer 23 to move up and down. When stirring is required, the stirring mechanism lowers the stirrer 23 to a suitable position so that it enters the sugar infusion tank 4. When the stirrer 23 is lowered to a suitable position in the sugar infusion tank 4, the first motor 21 is started. The output end of the first motor 21 is connected to the connecting plate 22. The connecting plate 22 is connected to the stirrer 23 by bolts. Therefore, after the first motor 21 is started, its power will be transmitted to the connecting plate 22 and the stirrer 23 in sequence, driving the stirrer 23 to rotate. The rotating stirrer 23 stirs the dried fruit and sugar infusion liquid inside the sugar infusion tank 4, so that the dried fruit can fully contact the sugar infusion liquid and accelerate the sugar infusion process.

[0031] After mixing is complete, the lifting mechanism is activated again to raise the stirrer 23 from the sugar-infusion tank 4, returning it to its initial position. The third motor 51 in the drive assembly 5 is then activated. The output end of the third motor 51 is connected to the worm gear 52. After the third motor 51 is activated, it drives the worm gear 52 to rotate. When the worm gear 52 rotates, it drives the worm wheel 53, which meshes with it, to rotate. The worm wheel 53 is fixedly connected to the turntable 37 through the rotating shaft 54. Therefore, the rotation of the worm wheel 53 is transmitted to the turntable 37 through the rotating shaft 54, causing the turntable 37 to start rotating. Since the sugar-infusion tank 4 is set between the turntable 37 of the two fixed frames 36, the sugar-infusion tank 4 will also rotate around the rotating shaft 54 ​​as the axis as the turntable 37 rotates. By controlling the rotation direction and angle of the third motor 51, the top opening of the sugar-infusion tank 4 is gradually rotated to a downward tilted state. Under the action of gravity, the dried fruit inside the sugar-infusion tank 4 will flow out from the sugar-infusion tank 4, completing the feeding process.

[0032] When it is necessary to clean, repair or replace the agitator 23, simply loosen the bolts to remove the agitator 23 from the connecting plate 22, which facilitates the later maintenance of the agitator 23.

[0033] The third motor 51 drives the worm gear 52 to rotate, and the worm gear 52 meshes with the worm wheel 53, which in turn drives the turntable 37 and the sugar infusion tank 4 to rotate. The worm wheel 53 and worm gear 52 transmission has the characteristics of large transmission ratio and compact structure, which can provide a large torque for the rotation of the sugar infusion tank 4. Even when the sugar infusion tank 4 is fully loaded and has a large weight, it can be driven to rotate stably, overcome the resistance of gravity, and realize reliable material pouring operation. At the same time, after the sugar infusion tank 4 stops rotating, the self-locking function of the worm wheel 53 and worm gear 52 can prevent the sugar infusion tank 4 from reversing due to gravity or other external forces, so that the sugar infusion tank 4 is accurately maintained at the set tilt angle and will not be affected by changes in the component of gravity or equipment vibration. This means that the third motor 51 does not need to consume additional energy to maintain the position of the sugar infusion tank 4, reducing the load fluctuation of the motor.

[0034] Furthermore, to ensure that turntable 37 can stably drive the sugar-coating tank 4 to rotate, please participate in... Figures 1-5 The turntable 37 is provided with a ring array of positioning rods 38, and the sugar infusion tank 4 is provided with mounting blocks 41 on both sides. The mounting blocks 41 are provided with positioning holes 42 corresponding to the positioning rods 38.

[0035] The fixed assembly 3 includes an adjusting frame 31, in which a bidirectional threaded rod 34 is rotatably mounted. The bidirectional threaded rod 34 is connected to the output end of the second motor 32. Parallel sliding rods 33 are arranged on both sides of the bidirectional threaded rod 34. A movable frame 35 is screwed onto the threads at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 34. The movable frame 35 is slidably connected to the sliding rods 33. The fixed frame 36 is fixedly mounted on the movable frame 35.

[0036] The adjusting frame 31 is slidably mounted on the base frame 1;

[0037] Guide plates 6 are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of the adjustment frame 31. The guide plates 6 are in contact with the base frame 1, and fastening bolts 61 are installed on the guide plates 6.

[0038] Specifically, when the second motor 32 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 34 to rotate, the moving frame 35 will move along the direction of the slide rod 33 under the drive of the bidirectional threaded rod 34, thereby driving the fixed frame 36 and the turntable 37 installed on it to move. The positioning rods 38 arranged in a ring array on the turntable 37 correspond to the positioning holes 42 on the mounting blocks 41 on both sides of the sugar infusion tank 4. During installation, the positioning rods 38 are inserted into the positioning holes 42, which can accurately determine the position of the sugar infusion tank 4 on the turntable 37, making the connection between the sugar infusion tank 4 and the turntable 37 more stable. When the turntable 37 drives the sugar infusion tank 4 to rotate, it can better transmit torque, avoid slippage or relative rotation, and ensure the accuracy and efficiency of rotation.

[0039] The guide plate 6 can restrict the movement direction of the adjustment frame 31 on the base frame 1, so that it can only slide along a specific direction of the base frame 1, ensuring the stability of the entire fixed assembly 3 including the turntable 37 during the movement. At the same time, the fastening bolt 61 can firmly fix the adjustment frame 31 to the base frame 1 when needed, preventing the adjustment frame 31 from being displaced due to vibration and other factors during the rotation of the sugar infusion tank 4, thus providing reliable support for the turntable 37 to stably drive the sugar infusion tank 4 to rotate.

[0040] Working principle: The dried fruit to be processed and the sugar-infusing liquid are placed into the sugar-infusing tank 4. As needed, the second motor 32 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 34 to rotate, causing the moving frame 35 to move along the sliding rod 33, which in turn moves the fixed frame 36 and the turntable 37. The positioning holes 42 on the mounting blocks 41 on both sides of the sugar-infusing tank 4 are aligned with the positioning rods 38 on the turntable 37 and inserted, thus achieving accurate installation and fixation of the sugar-infusing tank 4 between the turntables 37. At the same time, the guide plate 6 and the fastening bolts 61 ensure the stability of the adjusting frame 31 on the base frame 1, guaranteeing the stability of the entire device.

[0041] Start the lifting mechanism in the stirring assembly 2 to lower the stirrer 23 to a suitable position inside the sugar infusion tank 4, and then start the first motor 21. The first motor 21 drives the connecting plate 22 and the stirrer 23 to rotate, stirring the dried fruit and sugar infusion liquid in the sugar infusion tank 4, so that the dried fruit can fully contact the sugar infusion liquid and accelerate the sugar infusion process.

[0042] After mixing is complete, the lifting mechanism is activated again to raise the stirrer 23 from the sugar-infusing tank 4 back to its initial position. The third motor 51 in the drive assembly 5 is then activated, driving the worm gear 52 to rotate. The worm gear 52 drives the meshing worm wheel 53 to rotate, and the worm wheel 53 causes the turntable 37 to rotate via the rotating shaft 54, thereby causing the sugar-infusing tank 4 to rotate around the rotating shaft 54. By controlling the rotation direction and angle of the third motor 51, the top opening of the sugar-infusing tank 4 is gradually rotated to a downward tilting state, and the dried fruit inside the sugar-infusing tank 4 flows out under the action of gravity, completing the feeding process.
