Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production technology, and in particular to a system for making roasted cheese. Background Technology

[0002] Baked cheese, a dairy product that combines milky aroma with a crispy texture, holds an important position in the food market due to its unique flavor. The core of its production process lies in the "baking" technique, which requires precise temperature control to form a caramelized layer on the surface of the raw materials while ensuring a uniform internal texture. This places stringent requirements on the pre-treatment of raw materials, heat transfer efficiency, and process coordination.

[0003] The base ingredients for baked cheese are mostly milk or reconstituted milk. If it is directly introduced into subsequent processes (such as mixing and aeration) while still cold, there will be obvious drawbacks: cold milk has a lower viscosity, making it prone to separation when adding auxiliary ingredients, and it does not blend well with solid auxiliary ingredients such as shredded cheese. Therefore, preheating is required before mixing. Existing preheating equipment often has the following drawbacks: Existing systems mostly use electric heaters for direct heating, which easily leads to uneven heating with "near heat and far cold" and causes an imbalance in the distribution of moisture and density in the raw materials. Since baked cheese requires extremely high uniformity of preheating of raw materials, such imbalance will cause local scorching and local uncooking during subsequent baking, which seriously affects the quality of the finished product. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is that the existing technology has the disadvantages of long preheating time and inconsistent heating effect when close to and far from the electric heater. To address this, we propose a cheese-making system.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a cheese-making system, comprising a preheating tank body and a production mechanism, wherein a motor housing is disposed on the top of the preheating tank body, a feeding pipe is connected to one side of the preheating tank body, a water inlet pipe is connected to the other side of the preheating tank body, a jacket is also connected inside the preheating tank body, a hot water tank is provided inside the jacket, a spiral groove is provided below the hot water tank, a cold water tank is connected below the spiral groove, a preheating rod is disposed inside the jacket, a spiral block is connected to the outside of the preheating rod, a rubber layer is connected below the preheating rod, an auxiliary heating rod is disposed at the center of the spiral block, and a belt is also sleeved on the top of the spiral block.

[0006] Preferably, the production mechanism includes a milk storage silo, a filter device connected to one side of the milk storage silo, a milk storage tank connected to the other side of the filter device, a preheating tank body connected to one side of the milk storage tank, a mixing tank connected to the other side of the preheating tank body, an air inflation device connected to one side of the mixing tank, a filling machine connected to one side of the air inflation device, and a baking room connected to one side of the filling machine. The production line is used to automatically produce cheese, thereby improving the efficiency of cheese baking.

[0007] Preferably, a motor is connected inside the motor housing, and the output end of the motor is connected to the preheating rod by a pin connection. The output end is connected to the preheating rod on the other side by a belt to form an integrated rotating structure. The belt enables the two preheating rods to rotate as a whole, reducing energy consumption. Preferably, pulleys are fitted on both sides of the belt.

[0008] Preferably, the water inlet pipe is connected to the jacket by a threaded connection. The jacket is distributed in a ring inside the preheating tank body. The hot water generated by other processes is circulated and absorbed through the jacket to perform auxiliary preheating work.

[0009] Preferably, the upper and lower sides of the jacket are hollow, the center of the jacket is solid, and a thermally conductive silicone pad is attached to the inner side of the jacket. The thermally conductive silicone pad allows heat to be transferred towards the interior of the preheating tank body, thereby assisting in preheating.

[0010] Preferably, the spiral blocks are distributed in a ring on the outside of the preheating rod, and three sets of auxiliary heating rods are evenly distributed on the upper, middle and lower parts of the preheating rod. The auxiliary heating rods are also hexagonal in structure. By cooperating with the preheating rods, the preheating area is increased, and the spiral blocks make the milk stir up and down, avoiding scorching near the preheating rods.

[0011] Preferably, the rubber layer and the preheating rod are connected by a sliding connection. The preheating rod has a hexagonal structure, and an inverted structure is also provided between the preheating rod and the rubber layer. The rubber layer isolates the preheating rod from the electronic components at the bottom, preventing milk from contacting the electronic heating element.

[0012] Preferably, the upper and lower sides of the spiral groove are respectively connected to a hot water tank and a cold water tank. The spiral groove has a 30° downward inclined structure and is evenly and equidistantly distributed around the jacket. The spiral groove extends the residence time of hot water inside the jacket and increases its contact surface for better preheating.

[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: In this invention, the heating area is increased by using a preheating rod to improve the heating effect: the preheating rod has a hexagonal structure and is driven by a motor to rotate, thereby increasing the heating area and region. In addition, two spiral blocks with opposite spiral directions are set up so that the upper and lower layers of milk are stirred alternately. When the milk flows alternately between the upper and lower layers, it will pass through multiple auxiliary heating rods with the same hexagonal structure, ensuring the heating effect and avoiding uneven heating during subsequent baking, which could cause local burning or uncooking.

[0014] In this invention, wastewater is used for preheating to reduce the preheating time: a jacket is set inside the preheating tank body, and hot water generated in other processes is injected into the jacket. When the hot water flows inside the spiral groove, it interacts with the milk to assist in heating the milk, thereby reducing the preheating time and allowing the wastewater to be reused.

[0018] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a cheese-making system, including a preheating tank body 1 and a making mechanism 2. A motor housing 3 is installed above the preheating tank body 1 to protect the motor from impacts. A feeding pipe 4 is connected to one side of the preheating tank body 1, through which milk from the milk storage tank 203 is injected into the preheating tank body 1. A water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the other side of the preheating tank body 1, through which hot water generated in other processes is injected into the jacket 7. The jacket 7 is also connected inside the preheating tank body 1 to collect the hot water and prevent direct contact with the milk. A hot water tank 12 is provided inside the jacket 7, through which hot water is diverted to the interior of a spiral groove 13. A spiral groove 13 is provided below the hot water tank 12, through which hot water is diverted to the interior of the spiral groove 13. Tank 13 extends the hot water residence time and improves the heat exchange effect. A cold water tank 14 is connected to the bottom of the spiral tank 13, which discharges cold water all at once. A preheating rod 9 is installed inside the jacket 7 to provide auxiliary heating and ensure the preheating effect. A spiral block 8 is connected to the outside of the preheating rod 9, which allows the upper and lower layers of milk to interact and avoids the presence of heating dead zones. A rubber layer 11 is connected to the bottom of the preheating rod 9 to isolate the connecting wires below the preheating rod 9 and ensure the heating operation of the preheating rod 9. An auxiliary heating rod 10 is set in the center of the spiral block 8 to assist in the preheating of milk during the interaction between the upper and lower layers and ensure the preheating effect. A belt 6 is also fitted on the top of the spiral block 8 to enable the integrated operation of the equipment and reduce power consumption.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment: the production mechanism 2 includes a milk storage tank 201, a filter device 202 connected to one side of the milk storage tank 201, a milk storage tank 203 connected to the other side of the filter device 202, a preheating tank body 1 connected to one side of the milk storage tank 203, a mixing tank 204 connected to the other side of the preheating tank body 1, an air inflation device 205 connected to one side of the mixing tank 204, a filling machine 206 connected to one side of the air inflation device 205, and a baking room 207 connected to one side of the filling machine 206. The production line is used to automatically produce cheese, thereby improving the efficiency of baking cheese.

[0020] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in this embodiment: a motor is connected inside the motor housing 3, and the output end of the motor is connected to the preheating rod 9 by a pin connection. The output end is connected to the preheating rod 9 on the other side by a belt 6 to form an integrated rotating structure. The belt 6 makes the two preheating rods 9 rotate as a whole, reducing energy consumption. The spiral block 8 is distributed in a ring on the outside of the preheating rod 9. Three sets of auxiliary heating rods 10 are evenly distributed on the upper, middle and lower parts of the preheating rod 9. The auxiliary heating rods 10 are also hexagonal structures. The auxiliary heating rods 10 cooperate with the preheating rod 9 to increase the preheating area. The spiral block 8 makes the milk stir up and down, avoiding it from getting too close to the preheating rod 9. In the coking process, the rubber layer 11 is connected to the preheating rod 9 by a sliding connection. The preheating rod 9 has a hexagonal structure, and an inverted structure is also provided between the preheating rod 9 and the rubber layer 11. The rubber layer 11 isolates the preheating rod 9 from the electronic components at the bottom, preventing milk from contacting the electronic heating element. The upper and lower sides of the spiral groove 13 are respectively connected to the hot water tank 12 and the cold water tank 14. The spiral groove 13 has a 30° downward inclined structure and is evenly distributed around the jacket 7. The spiral groove 13 extends the residence time of hot water inside the jacket 7 and increases its contact surface for good preheating.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: the water inlet pipe 5 is connected to the jacket 7 by a threaded connection. The jacket 7 is distributed in a ring inside the preheating tank body 1. The hot water generated by other processes is circulated and absorbed through the jacket 7 to perform auxiliary preheating. The upper and lower sides of the jacket 7 are hollow structures, and the center of the jacket 7 is a solid structure. A thermally conductive silicone pad is attached to the inner side of the jacket 7. The thermally conductive silicone pad allows heat to be transferred towards the inside of the preheating tank body 1, thereby performing auxiliary preheating.

[0022] Working principle: First, fresh milk is placed into the milk storage chamber 201 for storage. After being filtered by the filter device 202 to remove impurities, it enters the milk storage tank 203. Then, the filtered milk is injected into the preheating tank body 1 through the feed pipe 4. At this time, the motor switch is turned on, causing the motor output to drive the preheating rod 9 to rotate. During the rotation of the preheating rod 9, the spiral block 8 rotates, causing the spiral block 8 to carry the milk from the bottom layer to the top layer. During the movement, the milk continuously hits the auxiliary heating rod 10, constantly preheating. At the same time, the output end uses the belt 6 to drive the other side of the preheating rod 9 to rotate, while the spiral block 8 rotates in the opposite direction. This causes the milk on the other side to flow from... The milk flows from top to bottom, ensuring proper preheating. After preheating, the milk enters the mixing tank 204, where special cheese-making ingredients, such as whey protein powder, low-melting-point cheese shreds, or edible colloids, are added. These ingredients are then mixed with the pretreated milk through a stirring mechanism, preventing the raw materials from collapsing or burning during baking and improving the texture and elasticity after baking. After a second filtration through a filter to remove impurities, the mixed ingredients are placed into the aeration device 205 for aeration to enhance the texture. The mixture is then weighed, and a measured amount of cheese raw material is filled into the baking pan through the filling machine 206. The pan is then conveyed by a belt conveyor to the baking room 207 for baking, and finally cooled and packaged. As mentioned above, during the operation of the production mechanism 2, the whey treatment will generate a large amount of hot water. The hot water is injected into the jacket 7 through the water inlet pipe 5, and then enters the hot water tank 12. The hot water then flows to multiple spiral grooves 13 in sequence. The hot water moves left and right along the spiral grooves 13, so that the heat inside the hot water interacts with the milk at the edge, achieving the dual heating purpose of electric heating in the central area and auxiliary heating through thermal interaction in the edge area. Finally, it enters the cold water tank 14 and is discharged through the drain outlet.

[0023] It is important to note that if the cooling of the baking oven 207 is achieved through cold water circulation, a large amount of hot water will also be generated. The water inlet pipe 5 can be connected to the drainage outlet of the baking oven 207.

[0024] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
