Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chocolate production, and in particular to a rapid cooling mechanism for pouring soft candy in chocolate production. Background Technology
[0002] A search of Chinese patents revealed publication number CN218073346U, which discloses a cooling device for a gummy candy casting machine. The device includes: a cooling shroud located at the top of the machine frame; and multiple air-cooling mechanisms arranged sequentially within the cooling shroud along the conveying direction of the conveyor chain. Each air-cooling mechanism is positioned above multiple molds and blows air downwards. This invention provides rapid and uniform cooling of the gummy candy, improving cooling efficiency, enabling faster molding, facilitating demolding, and ultimately increasing production efficiency.
[0003] In summary, this cooling device lacks dust removal functionality. It cools the gummies using fans, but due to the large amount of dust in the air, the fans blow this dust onto the surface of the gummies, affecting their cleanliness and reducing production quality. It is also inconvenient to use and has high energy consumption. Furthermore, the device uses multiple fans, each driven by a different motor, which increases operating costs and energy consumption, reducing practicality. Additionally, the motors are located inside the fans, generating heat during operation and affecting the cooling effect, further complicating its use. To address these issues, we propose a rapid cooling mechanism for pouring gummies in chocolate production. Utility Model Content

This utility model achieves dust removal by filtering air through a coarse filter screen, a filter cotton plate, and a fine filter screen, ensuring product cleanliness and improving production quality. By pulling the pull plate, the wire rope drives the locking rod to disengage from the locking hole, allowing the filter screen to be removed for easy maintenance and improving practicality. 2. This utility model uses a motor to drive a transmission shaft, which in turn drives a first bevel gear. The rotation of the first bevel gear drives a second bevel gear to drive a rotating shaft, which in turn drives blades to cool the soft candy. By using one motor to drive multiple sets of blades for cooling, the energy consumption is reduced, production costs are lowered, and practicality and cooling efficiency are improved.
