Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of candy processing equipment technology, and in particular to a carrageenan candy forming machine. Background Technology

[0002] The carrageenan candy molding machine is an automated device designed for the efficient production of carrageenan-based soft candies. Its core system uses a precisely controlled pouring system to evenly inject heated and melted carrageenan syrup into quickly replaceable molding molds. The molds are made of food-grade silicone or stainless steel and support customized shapes (such as animals, fruits, and geometric shapes) to meet diverse market demands. The machine integrates an intelligent temperature control module to ensure stable syrup flow, and a high-frequency vibration table to eliminate air bubbles. Combined with an automated demolding and conveying system, it achieves continuous operation from syrup pouring to finished product packaging. A single machine can produce several tons per day, significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency.

[0003] Existing carrageenan candy forming machines have complex internal structures, and sugar crumbs and dust easily remain on the surface of the conveying equipment. Although traditional high-pressure water gun cleaning can deal with some stains, it is not effective for firmly adhered sugar residue. Repeated rinsing and manual wiping are required, and even point-by-point cleaning is necessary. This results in high cleaning intensity and long time consumption. Moreover, manual operation is difficult to ensure uniformity and is prone to cleaning dead corners. In addition, the water splashing during high-pressure water gun rinsing is serious and may seep into the internal circuits or mechanical parts of the forming machine, causing equipment failure or safety hazards. The overall cleaning efficiency and effect urgently need to be improved. Therefore, a carrageenan candy forming machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as the easy residue of sugar crumbs and dust on the surface of conveying equipment. While traditional high-pressure water gun cleaning can handle some stains, it is not effective for firmly adhered sugar residues, requiring repeated rinsing and manual wiping, and even point-by-point cleaning. This results in high cleaning intensity, long cleaning time, and difficulty in ensuring uniformity during manual operation, easily leading to cleaning dead corners. In addition, the severe splashing of water during high-pressure water gun rinsing may seep into the internal circuitry or mechanical parts of the molding machine, causing equipment failure or safety hazards. The overall cleaning efficiency and effect urgently need to be improved. Therefore, this invention proposes a carrageenan candy molding machine.

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

[0006] A carrageenan candy forming machine includes a conveying device. A cleaning box is bolted to the outside of the conveying device. A first cleaning rod and a second cleaning rod are rotatably connected to the outside of the conveying device. A cleaning assembly is provided on the outside of the conveying device. The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning motor fixedly connected to the outside of the conveying device and a plurality of nozzles fixedly connected to the outside of the conveying device. The output shaft end of the cleaning motor is fixedly connected to the first cleaning rod. The nozzles cooperate with the first and second cleaning rods. A wiping rod is rotatably connected to the outside of the conveying device. An auxiliary assembly is provided on the outside of the conveying device. The auxiliary assembly includes a belt rotatably connected to the outside of the conveying device and a hot air outlet slot opened on the side of the cleaning box. The wiping rod cooperates with the first cleaning rod.

[0007] The above technical solution further includes:

[0008] The cleaning box is fixedly connected to the cleaning motor, the first cleaning rotating rod is rotatably connected to the cleaning box, the second cleaning rotating rod is rotatably connected to the cleaning box, and the cleaning box and the conveying equipment are connected by bolts. The entire cleaning box can be easily disassembled, improving the overall flexibility of the device.

[0009] A first gear is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first cleaning rod, and a second gear is rotatably connected to the outer side of the second cleaning rod. The second gear meshes with the first gear, and the first cleaning rod and the second cleaning rod move relative to each other through the meshing of the first gear and the second gear.

[0010] The first and second cleaning rods are both fitted with cleaning sleeves on their outer sides, and the cleaning sleeves have multiple stiff brushes. The sides of the sleeves are connected by zippers, allowing them to be replaced and washed after cleaning.

[0011] A drain pipe is connected through the bottom of the cleaning box, a water pipe is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning box, a water distribution box is fixedly connected inside the cleaning box, the water pipe is connected to the water distribution box, the nozzle is fixedly connected to the water distribution box, and the cleaning dirty water stored in the cleaning box flows out to the outside through the drain pipe.

[0012] The first cleaning rotating rod is fixedly connected to a first pulley at the end away from the cleaning motor. The wiping rotating rod is rotatably connected to the cleaning box. The wiping rotating rod is fixedly connected to a second pulley at the end near the first pulley. Both the second pulley and the first pulley are connected to belt drive. A sleeve is fitted on the outside of the wiping rotating rod, and the sleeve has absorbent lint. The rotation of the first cleaning rotating rod causes the wiping rotating rod to rotate along with it through the first pulley, the belt, and the second pulley, thus drying the surface of the conveyor belt.

[0013] A hot air pipe is connected through the bottom of the cleaning box. The hot air pipe is connected to the hot air outlet slot. Hot air dries the conveyor belt by passing through the hot air pipe and the hot air outlet slot.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] In this invention, the cleaning motor in the cleaning assembly drives the first and second cleaning rods to rotate relative to each other. The stiffer brush on the sleeve performs efficient rolling scrubbing on the surface of the conveyor belt. The nozzle sprays water to clean the brush in real time, ensuring the scrubbing effect and avoiding secondary pollution. At the same time, the gear meshing and belt drive realize the structural linkage, reducing manual intervention and effectively solving the problems of high intensity, long time consumption and uneven cleaning in traditional cleaning methods, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0016] In this invention, the hot air outlet slot and hot air pipe in the auxiliary component work together to quickly dry the surface of the cleaned conveyor belt with hot air, preventing residual moisture from seeping into the equipment. At the same time, the belt drive drives the wiping rod to rotate, and the water-absorbing brush on its outer side can pre-absorb a large amount of moisture. The two work together to achieve a dual drying effect of "absorption + hot air drying", which significantly shortens the drying time, prevents circuit failure, and the hot air outlet slot and wiping rod are compactly designed to reduce equipment space occupation and improve the safety and efficiency of the cleaning process.

The output shaft end of the cleaning motor 3 is fixedly connected to the first cleaning rotating rod 9. The nozzles 17 cooperate with the first cleaning rotating rod 9 and the second cleaning rotating rod 10. A wiping rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the outside of the conveying device 1. An auxiliary assembly is provided on the outside of the conveying device 1. The auxiliary assembly includes a belt 15 rotatably connected to the outside of the conveying device 1 and a hot air outlet slot 12 opened on the side of the cleaning box 2. The wiping rotating rod 11 cooperates with the first cleaning rotating rod 9.

[0024] The cleaning box 2 is fixedly connected to the cleaning motor 3, the first cleaning rotating rod 9 is rotatably connected to the cleaning box 2, the second cleaning rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected to the cleaning box 2, and the cleaning box 2 and the conveying equipment 1 are connected by bolts.

[0025] The first cleaning rod 9 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first gear 4, and the second cleaning rod 10 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the second gear 5. The second gear 5 meshes with the first gear 4, and the first cleaning rod 9 and the second cleaning rod 10 move relative to each other through the meshing between the first gear 4 and the second gear 5.

[0026] The outer sides of the first cleaning rotating rod 9 and the second cleaning rotating rod 10 are both fitted with cleaning sleeves, and the cleaning sleeves have multiple stiff brushes. The sides of the sleeves are connected by zippers, which can be replaced and washed after cleaning.

[0027] A drain pipe 8 is connected through the bottom of the cleaning box 2, a water pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning box 2, a water distribution box 16 is fixedly connected inside the cleaning box 2, the water pipe 7 is connected to the water distribution box 16, the nozzle 17 is fixedly connected to the water distribution box 16, and the cleaning dirty water stored in the cleaning box 2 flows out to the outside through the drain pipe 8.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the conveyor equipment 1 in the candy forming machine needs to be cleaned periodically, the cleaning box 2 is bolted to the bottom of the conveyor equipment 1. The conveyor equipment 1 is then driven to operate the conveyor belt. An external power source is then connected to start the cleaning motor 3. The rotation of the cleaning motor 3 drives the first cleaning rotor 9 to rotate. The rotation of the first cleaning rotor 9 causes the cleaning sleeve and multiple stiff brushes on the sleeve to rotate.
