During their preparation, the solidification rate, molding quality, and subsequent collection and screening efficiency directly affect product quality and production efficiency.

[0003] After solidification, the crystal balls need to be graded according to their particle size. Existing technologies mostly use manual screening or single-size screening equipment, which is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to achieve accurate grading of crystal balls of different sizes, affecting subsequent processing and use.

[0004] Some equipment uses liquids (such as cold water) for auxiliary cooling, but the cooling medium is mostly for single use, resulting in large consumption of water resources or coolant and a lack of effective recycling mechanism. This increases production costs and does not conform to the concept of energy conservation and environmental protection. Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem.

[0022] The following illustrations will reveal several embodiments of the present invention. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit the present invention. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, these physical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the rapid solidification and collection device for crystal balls of this utility model includes a support frame 1, on which a PLC controller is installed. The PLC controller integrates a touch screen to set parameters and display the operating status of each component in real time. A molding device 2 is installed at one end of the upper part of the support frame 1. The molding device 2 includes a constant temperature storage tank 201, which is installed on the support frame 1. The interior of the constant temperature storage tank 201 is made of 304 stainless steel, and the constant temperature range can be adjusted by a temperature controller. The inner wall of the tank is lined with heat insulation cotton to reduce heat loss.

[0024] An electric telescopic rod 202 is installed at the upper end of the constant temperature storage box 201. A pressure plate is installed at one end of the electric telescopic rod 202. The pressure plate slides inside the constant temperature storage box 201. The electric telescopic rod 202 is a model with a thrust of 500-1000N and works with a PLC controller to achieve intermittent pushing. The edge of the pressure plate is nested with a heat-resistant rubber ring, which fits tightly against the inner wall of the constant temperature storage box 201 to avoid material residue and prevent leakage.

[0025] The constant temperature storage tank 201 is equipped with a discharge pipe 203 at its lower end. The discharge pipe 203 is made of hard alloy and is equipped with an anti-drip valve at the outlet of the discharge pipe 203. It is electromagnetically controlled and linked to the pushing frequency of the electric telescopic rod 202 to prevent raw materials from dripping and contaminating the conveyor belt 3. A cooling box 204 is installed on the support frame 1 on one side of the constant temperature storage tank 201. The cooling box 204 has a built-in semiconductor cooling chip. The fan guides cold air to the outlet area of ​​the discharge pipe 203 to perform preliminary cooling and shaping of the freshly extruded semi-molten crystal balls, so as to prevent the crystal balls from deforming on the surface of the conveyor belt 3.

[0026] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a conveyor belt 3 is installed on the support frame 1 below the molding machine 2. The conveyor belt 3 is made of food-grade silicone. The speed of the conveyor belt 3 can be adjusted by a variable frequency motor to match the time required for the crystal ball to solidify. A screening component is installed below the conveyor belt 3. A cooling component is installed between the conveyor belt 3 and the screening component. The cooling component includes a diversion pipe 9. Multiple diversion pipes 9 are provided. Each of the multiple diversion pipes 9 is equipped with a nozzle 10. The diversion pipes 9 are distributed along the inclined direction of the fixed frame 4. One end of the diversion pipe 9 is installed on the support frame 1 through a rotating shaft 11. A circulation component is provided between the other end of the diversion pipe 9 and the support frame 1.

[0027] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the circulation component includes a circulation box 15, which is mounted on a support frame 1. A purification plate 16 is installed inside the circulation box 15. The purification plate 16 in the circulation component is a composite filter screen. The upper layer of activated carbon adsorbs impurities, and the lower layer of stainless steel mesh filters particles. The circulation box 15 is provided with an inlet pipe 17 and an outlet pipe 18. One end of the inlet pipe 17 is provided with an inlet pump, which is located inside the support frame 1. The other end of the inlet pipe 17 is connected to the upper end of the circulation box 15. One end of the outlet pipe 18 is provided with an outlet pump, which is located on the bottom wall inside the outlet pipe 18.

[0028] In this embodiment, the other end of the water outlet pipe 18 is provided with a second diversion pipe 13, which is installed on the support frame 1. The second diversion pipe 13 is connected to the first diversion pipe 9, and the second diversion pipe 13 and the first diversion pipe 9 are connected by a universal adapter 14. One end of the rotating shaft 11 passes through the support frame 1, and a fixing cap 12 is installed on the rotating shaft 11. The fixing cap 12 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 11. One end of the rotating shaft 11 is set as a hexagonal head, which is rotated by a hexagonal wrench and locked in conjunction with the fixing cap 12. The direction of the nozzle 10 can be adjusted according to the distribution of the crystal balls on the conveyor belt 3. The screening component includes a fixing frame 4, which is installed obliquely inside the support frame 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, a plurality of filter plates 5 are provided on the fixed frame 4. The filter plates 5 are made of 304 stainless steel. The aperture of the plurality of filter plates 5 gradually decreases from top to bottom. A discharge port 6 is provided on the support frame 1 corresponding to the lower end of the filter plate 5. A collection box 7 is installed on the support frame 1 on one side of the discharge port 6. The collection box 7 is made of transparent acrylic. The lower end of the collection box 7 is connected to the support frame 1 through a discharge pipe 8. A filter screen is installed between the discharge pipe 8 and the collection box 7. The filter screen is a 304 stainless steel metal filter screen.

[0030] The implementation principle is as follows: First, the raw material is kept at a suitable temperature by the constant temperature storage box 201. The electric telescopic rod 202 drives the pressure plate to slide in the constant temperature storage box 201, pushing the raw material out through the discharge pipe 203. The initially formed crystal balls fall onto the conveyor belt 3 below. At the same time, the cooling box 204 on one side of the constant temperature storage box 201 can provide an auxiliary cooling environment for the forming process.

[0031] At the same time, the conveyor belt 3 drives the initially formed crystal balls to move, and the formed crystal balls move with the conveyor belt 3 and fall into the screening component; multiple filter plates 5 installed on the fixed frame 4 on the inside of the support frame 1 play a role. As the pore size of the filter plate 5 gradually decreases from top to bottom, the crystal balls roll downward under the action of gravity, and crystal balls of different sizes will pass through the corresponding filter plates 5 respectively.

[0032] At this time, the cooling component starts to work; the water pump in the circulation component delivers the cooling medium (such as cold water) to the circulation box 15 through the water inlet pipe 17. After being purified by the purification plate 16 inside the circulation box 15, the water pump delivers the cooling medium to the second distribution pipe 13 through the water outlet pipe 18. Then, the second distribution pipe 13 distributes the medium to each first distribution pipe 9. Finally, the medium is sprayed onto the crystal ball through the nozzle 10 on the first distribution pipe 9, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the crystal ball and accelerating its solidification effect.

[0033] The angle of the shunt tube 9 is adjusted by the rotating shaft 11 and fixed by the fixing cap 12 to ensure that the cooling medium can more fully cover the crystal balls; at the same time, the cooling medium can be recycled and reused through the circulation component.

[0034] Finally, the crystal balls of different sizes screened by each filter plate 5 are discharged from the corresponding discharge port 6 at the bottom and enter the collection box 7; the liquid in the collection box 7 will flow back into the support frame 1 through the discharge pipe 8 at the bottom. The filter screen between the discharge pipe 8 and the collection box 7 can prevent the crystal balls from being discharged with the liquid, thereby completing the precise classification and collection of crystal balls of different sizes.

[0035] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
