Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of rock sugar boiling equipment, and in particular to a sugar liquid diversion structure inside a boiling kettle for boiling rock sugar. Background Technology
[0002] Current methods for making rock sugar typically involve heating and stirring the sugar syrup in a boiling kettle to ensure even heating and gradual cooking into rock sugar. To improve cooking efficiency, some boiling kettles have simple raised flow guide structures at the bottom or are used in conjunction with external stirring devices to agitate the sugar syrup, increasing its fluidity and turbulence, thereby improving heating uniformity and sugar formation rate.
[0003] However, existing rock sugar boiling kettles have a simple bottom structure and limited liquid agitation methods. During the rolling process, the sugar liquid tends to rise directly along the shortest path. This short flow path leads to localized overheating and scorching, while other areas are underheated, affecting the quality of the rock sugar. At the same time, the diversion or agitation structures installed in some boiling kettles are mostly fixed by threaded connections or welding, making disassembly and cleaning very cumbersome. This not only increases maintenance costs but also easily creates unsanitary corners, posing hygiene and food safety hazards. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a sugar liquid diversion structure in a boiling kettle that is structurally reasonable, securely installed, easy to disassemble and clean, and can effectively achieve multiple diversions and agitations of the sugar liquid to improve heating uniformity, in order to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a sugar liquid diversion structure in the cooking pot for boiling rock sugar, so as to solve the problems of uneven heating, easy caramelization of sugar liquid, and inconvenience of disassembling and cleaning the diversion component in the existing cooking pot.
[0005] Based on the above objectives, this utility model provides a sugar liquid diversion structure inside a cooking pot for boiling rock sugar, comprising: a cooking pot body;
[0006] A diversion assembly is installed inside the cooking vessel body. The diversion assembly is used to divert the syrup inside the cooking vessel body. A support rod is provided inside the cooking vessel body. A flow guide seat is fixedly installed at one end of the support rod. Several diversion plates are installed along the axial direction of the support rod. A splash guard is fixedly installed on one side of each diversion plate.
[0007] A support assembly is installed inside the cooking vessel body and is used to fix the diversion assembly.
[0008] Preferably, the distribution plate has a central hole in the middle, the central hole is fitted onto the outside of the support rod, and an annular gap is left between the central hole and the support rod.
[0009] Preferably, the flow distribution plate is provided with a plurality of radially arranged guide grooves, and the positions of the guide grooves on two adjacent layers of the flow distribution plate are staggered.
[0010] Preferably, a plurality of protrusions are evenly provided on one side of the distribution plate. The protrusions are hemispherical, the bottom of the protrusions are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the distribution plate, and the top of the protrusions protrude from the surface of the distribution plate.
[0011] Preferably, a plurality of guide vanes are fixedly installed on one side of the flow divider, and the guide vanes are inclined to one side of the flow divider.
[0012] Preferably, the support assembly includes several locking blocks fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cooking pot body, each locking block having a second through hole, a locking pin slidably installed in the second through hole, and a clamping block rotatably installed on the locking pin.
[0013] Preferably, the abutment block has a first through hole, the locking pin is rotatably installed in the first through hole, a handle is fixedly installed on one side of the locking pin, and a locking tongue is fixedly installed on the other side of the locking pin, the locking tongue being adapted to the second through hole.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. This type of sugar syrup diversion structure in the cooking kettle for boiling rock sugar, through the setting of diversion components, support rods, guide seats, radial guide grooves evenly opened on the diversion plates, and small protrusions and guide vanes, allows the sugar syrup to be guided upward along the conical surface of the guide seat during the heating and rolling process in the cooking kettle. Through the annular gap between the central hole and the support rod and the multi-layered staggered diversion plates, multiple diversion disturbances are carried out to form a spiral or zigzag flow path, thereby achieving full agitation and rolling of the sugar syrup as a whole, improving the uniformity of heating, and reducing the risk of caramelization caused by local overheating.
[0016] 2. This type of sugar syrup diversion structure inside the cooking pot for boiling rock sugar, through the setting of a support component, can stably and reliably fix the diversion component inside the cooking pot body, preventing the diversion component from shaking or shifting during the rolling and flow of the sugar syrup, ensuring the consistency of the diversion effect and the stability of the cooking process. At the same time, the support component adopts a cooperative structure of locking column, locking tongue, clamping block and handle, so that when the operator needs to disassemble or install the diversion component, he only needs to rotate the handle to easily lock or unlock it. The whole operation process is quick and convenient, which not only improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly and reduces maintenance time, but also avoids the cumbersome and unsanitary problems caused by threaded connection or welding fixing methods. It has the effects of simple structure, reliable locking, easy disassembly and assembly, and easy cleaning and maintenance. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the sugar syrup diversion structure inside the cooking pot for boiling rock sugar includes: a cooking pot body 1; a diversion component, which is installed inside the cooking pot body 1 and is used to divert the syrup inside the cooking pot body 1; a support rod 2 is provided inside the cooking pot body 1, a guide seat 16 is fixedly installed at one end of the support rod 2, and several diversion plates 3 are installed along the axial direction of the support rod 2; a splash guard 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the diversion plate 3; and a support component, which is installed inside the cooking pot body 1 and is used to fix the diversion component.
[0029] This rock sugar boiling process utilizes a sugar syrup diversion structure within the boiling vessel. During use, the diversion component is fixed inside the boiling vessel body 1 by a support assembly. When the syrup inside the boiling vessel body 1 is heated, it begins to boil and churn. As the syrup churns and flows, it first contacts the lower surface of the diversion component and is dispersed along the component's structure. The diversion component has multiple structures that force the syrup to split into multiple different fluid channels as it passes through, changing the original single, unified flow path and achieving multi-stage disturbance diversion. This allows the syrup to change its flow direction multiple times during vertical flow, creating a continuous diversion disturbance effect. This improves the heating uniformity of the syrup inside the vessel, prevents localized overheating that could lead to caramelization or sticking, and enhances boiling efficiency and product quality.
[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a central hole 6 is provided in the middle of the flow divider 3. The central hole 6 is fitted on the outside of the support rod 2, and an annular gap is left between the central hole 6 and the support rod 2. Multiple radially arranged guide grooves 5 are uniformly provided on the flow divider 3, and the positions of the guide grooves 5 on the upper and lower adjacent layers of flow dividers 3 are staggered. Multiple protrusions 7 are uniformly provided on one side of the flow divider 3. The protrusions 7 are hemispherical. The bottom of the protrusions 7 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the flow divider 3, and the top of the protrusions 7 protrudes from the surface of the flow divider 3. Several guide vanes 8 are fixedly installed on one side of the flow divider 3. The guide vanes 8 are inclined to one side of the flow divider 3.
[0031] In use, the diversion assembly separates the diversion plates 3 layer by layer via the support rods 2 inside the cooking vessel body 1. The guide seats 16 fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rods 2 guide the sugar liquid at the bottom of the vessel upwards along the conical surface of the guide seats 16, allowing the sugar liquid to flow into the annular gap formed between the central hole 6 of the diversion plate 3 and the support rods 2 and diffuse outwards. Multiple radially arranged guide grooves 5 evenly distributed on each diversion plate 3 disperse the sugar liquid into multiple fine streams as it passes through. Because the guide grooves 5 on adjacent layers of diversion plates 3 are staggered, the sugar liquid changes its flow direction multiple times as it flows through the multiple layers of diversion plates 3, achieving multi-stage diversion disturbance. The hemispherical protrusions 7 evenly distributed on the surface of the diversion plate 3 disturb and disperse the sugar liquid as it flows through, further enhancing the uniformity of heating. The anti-splash hoop 4 fixedly installed on one side of the diversion plate 3 prevents the sugar liquid from splashing out during violent tumbling. Several guide vanes 8 fixedly installed on the lower side of the diversion plate 3 further contribute to the diversion process. The inclined arrangement of the plate 3 guides the sugar liquid to form a local swirling flow and disperses air bubbles, enhancing the tumbling and circulation of the sugar liquid. This ensures that the sugar liquid in the cooking vessel body 1 is heated more evenly, preventing local overheating and caramelization, ultimately improving the sugar-making efficiency and the quality of the finished rock sugar. In this embodiment, the distribution plate 3 has 20-30 radially arranged guide grooves 5 evenly distributed on it. The width of each guide groove 5 is preferably 5-15 mm, and the length is determined according to the diameter of the distribution plate 3 to ensure that the sugar liquid can flow smoothly. The protrusions 7 on the distribution plate 3 are hemispherical, with a height preferably 2-5 mm and a diameter preferably 3-8 mm. The number of protrusions 7 can be 10-30 depending on the area of the distribution plate 3 to ensure sufficient disturbance when the sugar liquid flows. The number of guide vanes 8 below each layer of distribution plate 3 is preferably 6-12. The guide vanes are installed at an inclination of 30°-60° to the distribution plate to further disperse the liquid flow and enhance the tumbling disturbance effect.
[0032] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, the support assembly includes several locking blocks 14 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cooking pot body 1. A second through hole 15 is opened in the locking block 14. A locking pin 9 is slidably installed in the second through hole 15. A pressing block 12 is rotatably installed on the locking pin 9. A first through hole 13 is opened on the pressing block 12. The locking pin 9 is rotatably installed in the first through hole 13. A handle 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the locking pin 9. A locking tongue 10 is fixedly installed on the other side of the locking pin 9. The locking tongue 10 is adapted to the second through hole 15.
[0033] When it is necessary to replace or clean the diversion plate 3 inside the cooking pot, the operator first holds the handle 11 at the end of the locking pin 9 and rotates it clockwise, causing the locking pin 9 to rotate synchronously within the second through hole 15, so that the flat part of the locking tongue 10 fixed at the end of the locking pin 9 is aligned with the opening direction of the second through hole 15; at this time, the locking tongue 10 and the second through hole 15 form a passage, and the operator can pull the locking pin 9 outwards, and the locking tongue 10 will then exit from the second through hole 15. At the same time, the clamping block 12 installed on the locking pin 9 will rotate and move outwards with the locking pin 9, thereby releasing the limiting constraint on the diversion plate 3. At this time, the diversion plate 3 can be removed from the cooking pot for maintenance. When the diversion plate 3 needs to be reinstalled after maintenance, first accurately place the diversion plate 3 in the designated installation position of the locking block 14, and then the operator aligns the end of the locking tongue 10 of the locking pin 9 with the inlet of the second through hole 15. With the plane of the latch 10 parallel to the axis of the second through hole 15, the locking pin 9 is smoothly pushed into the second through hole 15. When the clamping block 12 is fully engaged with the adjacent splash guard 4, the handle 11 is rotated counterclockwise by about 90 degrees, causing the locking pin 9 and the latch 10 to rotate synchronously, so that the plane of the latch 10 and the axis of the second through hole 15 form an intersecting angle. At this time, the side wall of the latch 10 and the inner wall of the second through hole 15 form mechanical interference, realizing the self-locking function. At the same time, since the clamping block 12 is rotatably connected to the locking pin 9 through the first through hole 13, the clamping block 12 maintains stable contact with the splash guard 4 during the rotation of the locking pin 9, and generates continuous pressing force in the locked state, thereby ensuring that the diverter plate 3 is firmly fixed in the installation position of the locking block 14, completing the entire locking process. This structure achieves quick assembly and disassembly by rotating the locking pin 9, and has the characteristics of simple operation and reliable locking.
