Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chewing gum kneading machines, and particularly to chewing gum kneading machines. Background Technology

[0002] A chewing gum kneading machine mainly uses the pressure and friction generated by mechanical devices to fully mix and plasticize chewing gum base materials such as gum base, sugar powder, and flavoring to form elastic gum masses.

[0003] In the process of kneading chewing gum, the granular gum base material is usually poured into the kneading machine. This can easily lead to excessive local accumulation inside the kneading machine, which in turn can cause uneven heat distribution and affect the kneading effect of the chewing gum.

[0004] Therefore, a chewing gum kneading machine was proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a chewing gum kneading machine to solve the above-mentioned problems, thereby improving the problem that when all granular gum base materials are poured into the kneading machine, excessive local accumulation in some areas inside the kneading machine is easily caused.

[0006] This utility model achieves the above-mentioned objectives through the following technical solution: a chewing gum kneading machine, comprising: a kneading machine; a material control mechanism, the material control mechanism including a feeding frame fixedly connected to the top of the kneading machine, a feeding wheel rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding frame, the feeding wheel having annularly distributed arc-shaped holes on its surface, a servo motor fixedly connected to one end of the feeding frame, the output shaft of the servo motor fixedly connected to one end of the feeding wheel, a movable block provided at the upper end of the inner wall of the kneading machine, an anti-stick block slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable block, the surface of the anti-stick block being V-shaped, and the surface of the movable block being triangular. A servo motor drives the feeding wheel to rotate, causing the granular gum material in the feeding frame to fall into the arc-shaped hole. The rotating arc-shaped hole feeds the granular gum material in an orderly manner, preventing all of it from falling into the kneading machine. The triangular movable block and V-shaped anti-stick block guide the falling granular gum material to both sides of the kneading machine, thus evenly dispersing the granular gum material inside the kneading machine and preventing excessive accumulation in certain areas. This ensures uniform heating of the material and guarantees the kneading effect for chewing gum.

[0007] Preferably, a first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the anti-stick block, and the bottom end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable block. The first spring automatically resets the anti-stick block after it is impacted by the rubber-based material, ensuring effective guidance of the rubber-based material falling into the kneading machine.

[0008] Preferably, a connecting frame is slidably connected to the upper end of the inner wall of the kneading machine, and the bottom of the movable block is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame.

[0009] Preferably, a second spring is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame, and the bottom end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the top of the kneading machine.

[0010] Preferably, an elliptical block is fixedly connected to one end of the feeding wheel. The elliptical block, in conjunction with the second spring, enables the movable block and the anti-stick block to reciprocate upward and downward, thereby better guiding the granular rubber-based material to fall onto both sides of the inside of the kneading machine.

[0011] Preferably, a nylon cloth is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame, and the bottom end of the nylon cloth is fixedly connected to the top of the kneading machine. The surface of the second spring is located inside the nylon cloth. By enclosing the surface of the second spring with the nylon cloth, impurities are prevented from adhering to the surface of the second spring.

[0012] Preferably, a sealing cover is hinged to the top of the feed frame. The sealing cover seals the top of the feed frame, preventing impurities from falling into the kneading machine through the feed frame.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The servo motor, feeding wheel, and arc-shaped hole work together to ensure that the granular gum base material in the feeding frame is fed out in an orderly manner, thus preventing all the granular gum base material from being fed into the kneading machine. The triangular movable block and V-shaped anti-stick block work together to guide the falling granular gum base material to both sides of the kneading machine, thus making the granular gum base material evenly dispersed in the kneading machine, avoiding excessive local accumulation, ensuring uniform heating of the material, and thus ensuring the kneading effect of chewing gum.

[0015] 2. The first spring automatically resets the anti-stick block after it is impacted by the rubber-based material, ensuring the guiding effect of the rubber-based material falling into the rubber kneading machine. Attached Figure Description

[0021] 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.

[0022] In practical implementation: such as Figure 1-4 As shown, a chewing gum kneading machine includes: a kneading machine 1; and a material control mechanism 2. The material control mechanism 2 includes a feeding frame 21 fixedly connected to the top of the kneading machine 1. A feeding wheel 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding frame 21. The surface of the feeding wheel 22 is provided with annularly distributed arc-shaped holes 23. A servo motor 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the feeding frame 21. The output shaft of the servo motor 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the feeding wheel 22. A movable block 26 is provided at the upper end of the inner wall of the kneading machine 1. An anti-stick block 27 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the movable block 26. The surface of the anti-stick block 27 is V-shaped, and the surface of the movable block 26 is triangular.

[0023] A rubber kneading machine typically consists of a power system, a kneading chamber, a mixing device, a heating system, and a control system.

[0024] Power system: Provides power for the operation of the kneading machine 1, and generally consists of a motor, a reducer, etc. The motor provides initial power, while the reducer adjusts the speed and torque as needed to meet different kneading process requirements.

[0025] Kneading chamber: This is the place where the gum base and additives are mixed and kneaded. The kneading chamber is usually made of high-strength stainless steel, which has good wear resistance and corrosion resistance to ensure the quality and hygiene safety of chewing gum.

[0026] Mixing device: Installed inside the kneading chamber, it is responsible for mixing and kneading the rubber base and additives. The shape, number, and speed of the mixing device will vary depending on the design and production requirements of the kneading machine 1.

[0027] Heating system: Used to control the temperature during the kneading process. Appropriate temperature softens the rubber base, facilitating the mixing and dispersion of additives, and also helps improve the efficiency and quality of kneading. Heating systems typically use electric heating or steam heating.

[0028] Control system: Used to control the operating parameters of the kneading machine 1, such as speed, temperature, and time. Operators can set the required parameters through the control system to achieve automated control of the kneading process.

[0029] In this embodiment of the invention, when the chewing gum needs to be kneaded, the heating system inside the kneading machine 1 is turned on to heat the kneading chamber to a certain temperature. The worker pours all the granular gum base material into the feeding frame 21 and manually turns on the servo motor 24. The output shaft of the servo motor 24 rotates, driving the feeding wheel 22 to rotate. The rotating feeding wheel 22 drives multiple arc-shaped holes 23 to rotate. The granular gum base material at the upper end of the inner wall of the feeding frame 21 falls into one of the arc-shaped holes 23. When one of the arc-shaped holes 23 rotates to the lower end of the inner wall of the feeding frame 21, the granular gum base material in one of the arc-shaped holes 23 falls into the kneading machine 1. In the above manner, the granular gum base material at the upper end of the inner wall of the feeding frame 21 falls into the kneading machine 1 in an orderly manner. The feeding pipe at the top of the kneading machine 1 is opened, and sugar powder, flavoring, and other materials are poured into the kneading machine 1. After the feeding is completed, the servo motor 24 is manually turned off.

[0030] At this point, start the kneading machine 1. The stirring device inside the kneading machine 1 stirs the material inside the kneading chamber. During the kneading process, the rubber base material and additives are continuously squeezed, folded, and stretched, just like kneading dough by hand, to ensure that the various components are evenly distributed, so that the granular rubber base and various additives are fully mixed, softened, and achieve a uniform texture. At this point, you can open the kneading machine 1, pour out the rubber clumps, and transport them to the next stage for processing.

[0031] like Figure 2-4 As shown, a first spring 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the anti-stick block 27. The bottom end of the first spring 29 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the movable block 26. A connecting frame 25 is slidably connected to the upper end of the inner wall of the kneading machine 1. The bottom of the movable block 26 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame 25. A second spring 28 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame 25. The bottom end of the second spring 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the kneading machine 1. An elliptical block 210 is fixedly connected to one end of the feeding wheel 22. A nylon cloth 211 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting frame 25. The bottom end of the nylon cloth 211 is fixedly connected to the top of the kneading machine 1. The surface of the second spring 28 is located inside the nylon cloth 211. The feeding frame 21, feeding wheel 22, connecting frame 25, movable block 26, anti-stick block 27, second spring 28, and first spring 29 are all stainless steel components.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, granular adhesive material falls from top to bottom onto the surface of the anti-stick block 27, causing the anti-stick block 27 to be impacted by an external force and move downward to compress the first spring 29. When the impact force on the anti-stick block 27 is small, the elastic force of the first spring 29 pushes the anti-stick block 27 upward. The material feeding wheel 22 rotates, causing the elliptical block 210 to rotate. The highest point of the elliptical block 210 rotates and touches the end of the connecting frame 25, pushing the connecting frame 25, the movable block 26 and the anti-stick block 27 downward and compressing the second spring 28. The highest point of the elliptical block 210 moves away from the connecting frame 25. The elastic force of the second spring 28 pushes the connecting frame 25, the movable block 26 and the anti-stick block 27 upward, thereby causing the movable block 26 and the anti-stick block 27 to reciprocate up and down, thereby effectively dispersing the granular adhesive material to both sides inside the kneading machine 1.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown, a sealing cover 212 is hinged to the top of the feed frame 21.

[0034] In use, the worker pours all the granular rubber-based material into the feed frame 21 and manually starts the servo motor 24. The output shaft of the servo motor 24 rotates, driving the feeding wheel 22 and multiple arc-shaped holes 23 to rotate. This causes the granular rubber-based material falling into the arc-shaped holes 23 to fall orderly into the rubber kneading machine 1. The granular rubber-based material falls from top to bottom onto the surface of the anti-stick block 27, causing the anti-stick block 27 to be impacted by external force and move downward to compress the first spring 29. When the impact force on the anti-stick block 27 is small, the first spring... The elastic force of spring 29 pushes the anti-stick block 27 upward, and the rotation of the feeding wheel 22 drives the elliptical block 210 to rotate. During the rotation, the elliptical block 210 pushes the connecting frame 25, the movable block 26 and the anti-stick block 27 downward and squeezes the second spring 28. The highest point of the elliptical block 210 moves away from the connecting frame 25. The elastic force of the second spring 28 pushes the connecting frame 25, the movable block 26 and the anti-stick block 27 upward, thereby causing the movable block 26 and the anti-stick block 27 to reciprocate up and down, thereby effectively dispersing the granular rubber-based material to both sides inside the kneading machine 1.

[0035] It should be noted that the kneading machine 1, servo motor 24, feed frame 21 and sealing cover 212 mentioned above are all devices with relatively mature existing technology. The specific models can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the kneading machine 1 and servo motor 24 can be powered by the built-in power supply or by the mains power. The specific power supply method is selected according to the situation and will not be elaborated here.

[0036] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
