Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chocolate casting machines, and more particularly to a chocolate casting machine that can sense the material level. Background Technology

[0002] A chocolate pouring machine is a piece of equipment specifically designed for producing chocolate products. Its main function is to pour liquid chocolate evenly into a pre-set mold. It is widely used in chocolate factories, large food processing enterprises, and chocolate production lines. With the development of the food industry, the requirements for chocolate production processes have gradually increased. Traditional manual pouring methods can no longer meet the needs of modern production. The emergence of chocolate pouring machines has effectively solved this problem.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN205813499U, disclose a chocolate pouring machine. This patent includes a storage tank and a support. The storage tank is equipped with a stirring device, and the chocolate pouring machine also includes two rotating columns and two rotating cavities on the support. The advantages of this utility model's chocolate pouring machine are: it adopts a precisely matched rotating cavity and rotating column structure, ensuring accurate dispensing; minimal chocolate residue remains between the rotating columns and rotating cavities; and the rotating columns have a faceted structure, making it less likely for chocolate near the rotating columns to remain stationary, thus greatly reducing the likelihood of jamming or clogging of the pipes.

[0004] In daily use, it has been found that when using a chocolate pouring machine, because the chocolate mold is placed manually, if the mold shifts, the pouring machine cannot accurately pour the chocolate material into the mold, resulting in material waste and affecting the efficiency and accuracy of the production process.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new type of chocolate pouring machine that can sense the material level to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0028] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The adjustment structure 5 includes a limiting frame 501, which is fixedly connected to the conveying device 1. A fixing plate 502 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting frame 501. A motor 503 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixing plate 502. A screw 504 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 503. The two ends of the arc surface of the screw 504 are provided with reverse threads. Two connecting plates 505 are threaded to the arc surface of the screw 504. The screw 504 and the limiting frame 501 are rotatably connected. A positioning frame 506 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting plate 505. A positioning groove 507 is provided on the upper surface of the limiting frame 501. The positioning groove 507 and the connecting plate 505 are slidably connected. An infrared sensor 511 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting frame 501. By setting the adjustment structure 5, the chocolate mold with a positional deviation can be accurately aligned, thereby avoiding... During use, misalignment occurs between the chocolate mold and the feeding port of the feeder 3 to ensure smooth and precise production. A soft pad 508 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning frame 506. The soft pad 508 is a rubber pad, which can prevent the positioning frame 506 from directly contacting the chocolate mold and avoid wear on the chocolate mold. A protective cover 509 is fitted on the outside of the motor 503. The protective cover 509 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 502. The protective cover 509 can protect the motor 503 and prevent dust and other debris from entering the motor 503. A limit rod 510 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning groove 507. The limit rod 510 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 505. The limit rod 510 can limit the connecting plate 505 and prevent the connecting plate 505 from shifting during use. In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The auxiliary structure 6 includes an auxiliary frame 61, which is fixedly connected to the feeder 3. The upper surface of the auxiliary frame 61 is fixedly connected to the hopper 4. Baffles 62 are slidably connected to both sides of the auxiliary frame 61. A rack 63 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 62. Two gears 64 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the auxiliary frame 61, and the gears 64 and rack 63 mesh with each other. A fixing block 65 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the baffle 62. A connecting plate 66 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixing block 65. The connecting plate 66 is fixedly connected to the baffle 62 and slidably connected to the auxiliary frame 61.

The magnet 68 can fix the two baffles 62 more stably and prevent the baffles 62 from moving at will. The working principle of the chocolate pouring machine with material level sensing provided by this utility model is as follows: By setting the adjustment structure 5, when the chocolate mold moves on the conveying device 1, due to the position shift, when the infrared sensor 511 detects the chocolate mold, the motor 503 on the fixed plate 502 will drive the screw 504 to rotate inside the limit frame 501. When the screw 504 rotates, it will drive the connecting plate 505 to move in the positioning groove 507 of the limit frame 501. At the same time, the connecting plate 505 will drive the positioning frame 506 to move, so that the two positioning frames 506 are aligned with the chocolate mold. The force mold moves and aligns. When the infrared detector 7 detects the chocolate mold, the material in the hopper 4 enters the discharge port of the fixed frame 2 through the feeder 3 until the chocolate mold is poured. The soft pad 508 can prevent the positioning frame 506 from directly contacting the chocolate mold, thus preventing wear on the chocolate mold. The protective cover 509 can protect the motor 503, preventing dust and other debris from entering the motor 503. The limit rod 510 can limit the connecting plate 505, preventing the connecting plate 505 from shifting during use.

[0029] By setting the auxiliary structure 6, the gear 64 is rotated to drive the rack 63 to move. When the rack 63 moves, it will drive the baffle 62 to move within the auxiliary frame 61. When the baffle 62 moves, it will drive the connecting plate 66 to move within the fixed block 65. By moving the two baffles 62, the feeding speed of the hopper 4 can be easily adjusted. Since the material is conveyed from top to bottom, it will apply pressure to the baffle 62, so the baffle 62 will not move arbitrarily. The limiting plate 67 can limit the connecting plate 66 to prevent it from falling off. The magnet 68 can make the two baffles 62 more stable and prevent them from moving arbitrarily.
