Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of confectionery production technology, specifically to granulation equipment used in confectionery production. Background Technology

[0002] Candy production and processing involves mixing sucrose, glucose, fruit juice, food coloring, etc., and heating them into a syrup. After removing internal air bubbles, the syrup can be extruded and shaped, and continuous candy strips can be cut into blocks of the same size. Granulation equipment needs to maintain a certain temperature for a long time to prevent the candy strips from cooling and solidifying during the transport process.

[0003] Candy granulation equipment often uses a horizontal conveyor at the bottom to transport syrup via a spiral shaft, lacking an extrusion mechanism. The syrup at the top also lacks a pressing mechanism, which can easily cause blockages at the valves, affecting the feeding process. This makes it difficult to improve granulation efficiency, and cleaning is also very inconvenient.

[0004] Now, a new type of granulation equipment for candy production is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a granulation device for candy production, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art of syrup clogging the pipe opening.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a granulation device for candy production, comprising a heating tank and a feeding hopper. The feeding hopper is fixed to the upper left corner of the exterior of the heating tank. Insertion holes are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the heating tank, and a limiting rod is movably inserted into the insertion holes. A pressure plate is fixed between the bottoms of the limiting rods. A lead screw is movably connected to the center of the top of the pressure plate. A worm gear is movably connected to the center of the top of the exterior of the heating tank, and a threaded cylinder is fixed to the top of the worm gear. A frame is fixed to the right side of the center of the exterior of the heating tank, and a worm gear is movably connected between the front and rear of the frame. A motor is fixed to the rear of the exterior of the frame. A valve is fixed to the center of the lower exterior of the heating tank, and a horizontal cylinder is horizontally fixed below the valve. A motor is fixed to the left side of the exterior of the horizontal cylinder. A spiral rod is movably connected to the left side of the interior of the horizontal cylinder. A mold is fixed to the right side of the exterior of the horizontal cylinder, and mold holes are horizontally provided at the top and bottom of the interior of the mold.

[0007] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the output end of the motor three is fixedly connected to the worm gear, and the worm gear is meshed with the right side of the worm wheel.

[0008] As a further technical solution of this utility model, two sets of horizontal plates are fixed on the right side of the outside of the mold, and feet are fixed longitudinally on both sides between the horizontal plates. A bracket is fixed longitudinally on the left side between the horizontal plates, and a cylinder is fixed at the top of the bracket. An upper pressing mold is fixed at the bottom of the piston rod of the cylinder, and a lower pressing mold is fixed below the upper pressing mold.

[0009] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the horizontal plate and the mold hole are on the same horizontal plane, and the upper and lower pressing molds are on the same vertical plane.

[0010] As a further technical solution of this utility model, a box is fixed on the right side between the foot and the horizontal plate, a rotating frame is movably connected to the center of the lower part of the box, a motor is fixed at the center of the bottom of the box, and grooves are respectively provided on the upper part and center of the left side of the box, and a guide plate is movably hinged between the front and back of the groove.

[0011] As a further technical solution of this utility model, the top of the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating frame, and the guide plate is located at the upper left corner of the rotating frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the granulation equipment for candy production not only realizes auxiliary feeding and equal-interval cutting of sugar strips, but also realizes rapid separation of sugar granules;

[0013] (1) By fixing a feeding hopper to the upper left corner of the outside of the heating tank, the mixed syrup material is poured into the heating tank at the feeding hopper. After it flows into the heating tank, the motor three is started and the worm gear inside the frame is rotated, thereby pushing the worm wheel connected to the left side, forcing the threaded cylinder to rotate with the worm wheel. The limit rods on both sides are also embedded in the insertion hole, which can vertically raise and lower the pressure plate and squeeze the syrup at the bottom of the heating tank, forcing the material to pass through the valve and enter the horizontal cylinder, and receive the material from the screw rod controlled by the motor two to be conveyed to the mold on the right side.

[0014] (2) By fixing a lower mold below the upper mold, the hot syrup will be squeezed into strips by the screw rod when passing through the mold hole and continue to move to the right on the surface of the horizontal plate. The control system starts the cylinder and lowers the piston rod and the upper and lower molds at a certain frequency to cut the moving syrup strips on the surface of the horizontal plate and keep the sugar granules basically the same size. The upper and lower molds are raised and lowered with the same power to save resources.

[0015] (3) By fixing a box on the right side between the foot and the horizontal plate, the sugar granules cut on the surface of the horizontal plate are still stuck together. They pass through the groove and enter the rotating frame under the guidance of the guide plate. The top rotating frame is rotated by the motor and the stuck sugar granules are broken apart. After the end, the guide plate is bent into the groove, and the rotating frame is taken out from the box and the finished sugar granules are poured out. No manual processing is required, thus realizing the automation of material preparation. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a granulation device for candy production, comprising a heating tank 1 and a feeding hopper 3. The feeding hopper 3 is fixed to the upper left corner of the exterior of the heating tank 1. Insertion holes 4 are respectively provided on both sides of the top of the heating tank 1, and limiting rods 5 are movably inserted into the insertion holes 4. A pressure plate 2 is fixed between the bottoms of the limiting rods 5. A lead screw 7 is movably connected to the center of the top of the pressure plate 2. A worm gear 19 is movably connected to the center of the top of the exterior of the heating tank 1, and a threaded cylinder 6 is fixed to the top of the worm gear 19. A frame 20 is fixed to the right side of the center of the unit, and a worm gear 22 is movably connected between the front and rear of the frame 20. A motor 21 is fixed to the rear of the frame 20. A valve 8 is fixed to the center of the lower part of the heating tank 1. A horizontal cylinder 9 is fixed to the lower part of the valve 8. A motor 18 is fixed to the left side of the horizontal cylinder 9. A spiral rod 17 is movably connected to the left side of the horizontal cylinder 9. A mold 15 is fixed to the right side of the horizontal cylinder 9. Mold holes 16 are horizontally arranged at the top and bottom of the mold 15.

[0023] The output end of motor 21 is fixedly connected to worm 22, and worm 22 is meshed with the right side of worm wheel 19;

[0024] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mixed syrup material is poured into the heating tank 1 from the feeding hopper 3. After it flows into the heating tank 1, the motor 3 21 is started and the worm gear 22 inside the frame 20 is rotated, thereby pushing the worm wheel 19 on the left side to rotate, forcing the threaded cylinder 6 to rotate with the worm wheel 19. The limit rods 5 on both sides are also embedded in the insertion hole 4, which can vertically raise and lower the pressure plate 2 and squeeze the syrup at the bottom of the heating tank 1, forcing the material to pass through the valve 8 and enter the horizontal cylinder 9 to be transferred.

[0025] Two sets of horizontal plates 25 are fixed on the right side of the outside of the mold 15. The two sides between the horizontal plates 25 are respectively fixed with feet 10 in the longitudinal direction. The left side between the horizontal plates 25 is fixed with a bracket 14 in the longitudinal direction. The top of the bracket 14 is fixed with a cylinder 23. The bottom of the piston rod of the cylinder 23 is fixed with an upper pressing mold 24. The lower pressing mold 26 is fixed below the upper pressing mold 24. The horizontal plate 25 and the mold hole 16 are on the same horizontal plane. The upper pressing mold 24 and the lower pressing mold 26 are on the same vertical plane.

[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the syrup, kept hot, is squeezed into a strip by the screw rod 17 as it passes through the die hole 16. It continues to move to the right on the surface of the horizontal plate 25. The control system starts the cylinder 23 and lowers the piston rod and the upper die 24 and the lower die 26 at a certain frequency to cut the moving syrup strip on the surface of the horizontal plate 25, while keeping the sugar granules basically the same size.

[0027] A box 11 is fixed on the right side between the foot 10 and the horizontal plate 25. A rotating frame 12 is movably connected to the center of the lower part of the box 11. A motor 13 is fixed at the center of the bottom of the box 11. A groove 28 is provided on the upper left side and at the center of the box 11. A guide plate 27 is movably hinged between the front and back of the groove 28. The top of the output end of the motor 13 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 12. The guide plate 27 is located at the upper left corner of the rotating frame 12.

[0028] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the sugar granules cut on the surface of the horizontal plate 25 are still stuck together. They pass through the groove 28 and enter the rotating frame 12 under the guidance of the guide plate 27. The top rotating frame 12 is rotated by the motor 13, which breaks up the stuck sugar granules. After the rotation, the guide plate 27 is bent into the groove 28, and the rotating frame 12 is taken out from the box 11 and the finished sugar granules are poured out to prevent the sugar granules from sticking together.

[0029] Working principle: In use, the mixed syrup material is first poured into the heating tank 1 from the feeding hopper 3. After it flows into the heating tank 1, the motor 21 is started and the worm gear 22 inside the frame 20 is rotated. This pushes the worm wheel 19 on the left side, forcing the threaded cylinder 6 to rotate with the worm wheel 19. The limit rods 5 on both sides are also embedded in the insertion holes 4, which can vertically raise and lower the pressure plate 2 and squeeze the syrup at the bottom of the heating tank 1. The material is forced to pass through the valve 8 and enter the horizontal cylinder 9. The screw rod 17 controlled by the motor 18 conveys the material to the mold 15 on the right side. The syrup, which is kept hot, passes through the mold hole 1. At 6 o'clock, the syrup strip is squeezed into a strip by the spiral rod 17 and continues to move to the right on the surface of the horizontal plate 25. The cylinder 23 is started by the control system and the piston rod sinks and drops with the upper pressure mold 24 and the lower pressure mold 26 at a certain frequency to cut the moving syrup strip on the surface of the horizontal plate 25. The sugar granules after being cut on the surface of the horizontal plate 25 are still stuck together. They pass through the groove 28 and enter the rotating frame 12 under the guidance of the guide plate 27. The top rotating frame 12 is rotated by the motor 13 and the stuck sugar granules are broken up. After the end, the guide plate 27 is bent into the groove 28, and the rotating frame 12 is taken out from the box 11 and the finished sugar granules are poured out.
