Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of ginger candy production equipment, specifically relating to a food ingredient cooking device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of ginger candy, multiple materials need to be heated together and boiled into a paste, usually in a boiling pot. Patent document CN218737150U discloses a boiling pot, including a support, a pot body, and a storage dish. The pot body is movably mounted inside the support, and a discharge hopper is fixedly mounted on the outside of the pot body. A base plate is fixedly mounted on the outside of the support, and a movable plate is movably mounted on the upper side of the base plate. Two sets of inner grooves have fixing mechanisms for docking with the storage dish. A T-shaped groove is formed on the upper side of the base plate, and a T-shaped slider is slidably mounted within the T-shaped groove. A fixed cylinder is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the T-shaped slider, and a movable rod is movably inserted through the fixed cylinder and fixedly connected to the movable plate. A second spring is movably mounted inside the fixed cylinder, with one end connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder and the other end connected to the movable rod. While this patent allows for efficient boiling, the boiling pot needs to be tilted to pour out the material. Due to the large volume of material being poured out and the potential for hot material to splash, this method poses a safety hazard and is detrimental to production. Therefore, a food ingredient cooking device is needed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned deficiencies in the existing technology, this utility model provides a food ingredient cooking device, including a heating pot with an inlet and a discharge pipe at the bottom, with a switch valve on the discharge pipe. The heating pot contains a stirring assembly, which includes a rotating rod and a stirring paddle. The lower end of the rotating rod is located inside the heating pot, and the upper end extends outside the heating pot and is connected to a stepper motor. The stirring paddle includes a scraper and a stirring rod, with the scraper connected to the rotating rod via the stirring rod, and the scraper contacting the inner wall of the heating pot.

[0004] Preferably, a sleeve is fitted over the upper part of the rotating rod located inside the heating pot, and a feeding screw is fixed to the lower end of the rotating rod. The feeding screw is matched with the discharge pipe. The top end of the sleeve is rotatably connected to the heating pot through a bearing. A vertical groove is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve, and a slider is slidably fitted in the groove. The slider is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating rod. A vertical telescopic rod is provided at the top of the heating pot, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vertical telescopic rod. A stepper motor is fixed on the support plate, and the output shaft of the stepper motor passes through the support plate and is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating rod.

[0005] One end of the stirring rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sleeve, and the other end is connected to the scraper rod. A connecting ring is fixed on the rotating rod located outside the sleeve inside the heating pot. The connecting ring is hinged to a first connecting rod, the first connecting rod is hinged to a second connecting rod, and the second connecting rod is hinged to the scraper rod. This arrangement allows the rotating rod to move up and down without affecting the material hanging on the scraper rod. When the rotating rod moves down, the feeding screw enters the discharge pipe, which helps improve the discharge efficiency and avoids blockage. When the rotating rod moves up, the feeding screw is located inside the heating pot and only serves a stirring function.

[0006] Preferably, the vertical telescopic rod is an electric push rod, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, the heating pot is spherical, and the scraper is arc-shaped. This design avoids dead corners inside the heating pot, prevents the cooked material from sticking inside, and, in conjunction with the scraper, ensures more thorough material discharge.

[0008] Preferably, the heating pot is an electric heating pot, equipped with a heat insulation layer, fixed on a support, and equipped with a temperature sensor inside. This feature allows for the adjustment of the heating pot's temperature based on the internal temperature, further improving the cooking effect.

[0009] This invention also includes other components that enable the food ingredient cooking device to function properly, such as the control components for the stepper motor and the control components for the electric heating pot, which are commonly used equipment in the field and represent conventional technical means in this field. Furthermore, devices or components not specified in this invention, such as the feeding screw, electric push rod, hydraulic cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, and heat insulation layer, all employ conventional technical means and equipment in the field.

[0010] Working principle: Various materials enter the heating pot and are heated and cooked. During the cooking process, the stepper motor drives the rotating rod to rotate, and the scraper rod and stirring rod continuously stir the materials to prevent them from sticking to the pot. After cooking, the viscous substance is discharged from the outlet. When discharged, the vertical telescopic rod retracts, the rotating rod moves down inside the heating pot, and the feeding screw enters the discharge pipe. The rotation of the feeding screw improves the feeding efficiency and avoids blockage of the discharge pipe. The discharge pipe discharges materials sequentially without the need to rotate the heating pot, resulting in high safety and high feeding efficiency.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the overall structure is reasonable, and the mixture can be stirred during the cooking process, while avoiding sticking to the pot. When feeding, the feeding screw enters the discharge pipe, which improves the discharge efficiency, avoids blockage, and is beneficial to production. Attached Figure Description
