Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing, and in particular to an automatic sugar-sprinkling structure for food. Background Technology

[0002] In food processing operations such as pastry, snack food, and catering production, evenly sprinkling sugar on the surface of food is a common process to improve the appearance and taste of food. Currently, sugar sprinkling is mainly done manually or with simple mechanical devices. Manual sugar sprinkling suffers from problems such as high labor intensity, poor uniformity, difficulty in controlling measurement, and challenges in hygiene management, making it difficult to meet the requirements of large-scale, standardized production. Traditional mechanical sugar sprinkling devices typically use gravity feeding or simple vibration feeding, which makes it difficult to precisely control the feeding amount and speed, easily leading to uneven feeding, local accumulation, or excessive feeding at one time. Furthermore, it is prone to clogging with fine powdery or moist sugars that easily clump, requiring frequent maintenance and cleaning, thus affecting production continuity.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automatic sugar-dispensing structure for food to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an automatic sugar-sprinkling structure for food.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] This utility model provides an automatic sugar-sprinkling structure for food, including a frame, on which a conveying mechanism and a sugar-sprinkling mechanism are provided. The conveying mechanism is used to transport food to be sprinkled with sugar from the outside. The sugar-sprinkling mechanism includes a transfer component with a hopper on it, and a first trough and a second trough on it. The second trough is connected to the internal space of the hopper and the first trough. The sugar-sprinkling mechanism also includes a rod and a driving component for driving the rod to reciprocate. The rod is housed in the first trough. Sugar from the outside contained in the hopper falls into the first trough through the second trough. When the rod pushes out the sugar in the first trough, the sugar in the second trough is stopped by the side wall of the rod and will not fall. After the rod pushes out the sugar and resets, the sugar in the second trough falls into the first trough.

[0007] Preferably, the outer surface of the rod is attached to the inner surface of the first groove, and the length of the rod is not less than the length of the first groove, so as to achieve a tight fit between the rod and the first groove, ensuring that the sugar in the first groove can be completely pushed out during reciprocating motion, avoiding the problem of sugar residue, and achieving the effect of precise and controllable sugar amount.

[0008] Preferably, the transfer unit is also provided with a third trough. The third trough is located on the side of the second trough away from the first trough. The size of the third trough gradually increases from the end closer to the second trough to the end farther away from the second trough. The second trough is connected to the internal space of the hopper through the third trough, which can form a flow channel to guide the sugar in the hopper to flow smoothly into the second trough through the third trough, avoiding the problem of sugar blockage and achieving the effect of smooth sugar flow and stable supply.

[0009] Preferably, the transfer unit is equipped with a discharge hopper, which is located at the end of the first groove for discharging. A fourth groove is opened on the side of the discharge hopper near the transfer unit. The fourth groove is used for external bolts to pass through. The fourth groove is arranged in a strip shape extending in the vertical direction, so that the discharge hopper can be adjusted up and down relative to the transfer unit. This can adapt to the sugar sprinkling requirements of foods with different thicknesses. By adjusting the height of the discharge hopper, the sugar sprinkling position can be precisely controlled, achieving the effect of adjustable sugar sprinkling position, strong adaptability and uniform sugar sprinkling. At the same time, the falling speed of the sugar can be controlled according to the height of the discharge hopper.

[0010] Preferably, the frame includes support legs and a first plate on the support legs. The conveying mechanism is located on the first plate and is used to convey external objects to be sprinkled with sugar. The frame is composed of support legs and the first plate, and the function of the conveying mechanism located on the first plate is to provide stable structural support and integrate the conveying function. The support legs ensure overall stability, and the first plate serves as an installation platform, thus achieving the effect of stable overall installation of the device and reliable operation of the conveying mechanism.

[0011] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes two conveyor belts, which are respectively located at both ends of the width direction of the first plate. Rollers are provided at both ends of the length direction of the conveyor belts. The conveyor belts are rotated on the first plate via the rollers. The function of the conveying mechanism using two conveyor belts located at both ends of the width direction of the first plate and rotated via rollers is to form a double-belt conveying structure. The rotation of the rollers drives the conveyor belts to run, achieving the effect of stable food transmission and continuous sugar-sprinkling operation during the conveying process.

[0012] Preferably, the thickness of the conveyor belt is not greater than the height of the roller protruding from the first plate, which can effectively avoid direct friction between the conveyor belt and the first plate, reduce running wear, and achieve the effect of extending the service life of the conveyor belt and reducing maintenance costs.

[0013] Preferably, the length of the conveyor belt is no greater than the length of the first plate, which can effectively ensure that the conveyor belt is completely located on the first plate, avoiding problems of suspension or offset, and achieving the effect of stable operation of the conveyor belt without falling off.

[0014] Preferably, the first plate is provided with a chute, which is strip-shaped and parallel to the length direction of the first plate. The rollers at the same end of the two conveyor belts are provided with shafts, and the two ends of the shafts are rotatably provided with adjusting members. The adjusting members slide relative to the first plate via the chute to adjust the tension of the conveyor belts, which can adapt to different operating requirements (such as tension adjustment). By sliding the adjusting members in the chute, the tension of the conveyor belts can be precisely controlled, achieving the effect of smooth operation, adjustable tension, and strong adaptability of the conveyor belts.

[0015] Preferably, the first plate is provided with a drive assembly for driving the two conveyor belts to rotate, and the drive assembly is detachably mounted on the bottom of the first plate via external bolts.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Through the above-mentioned structural design, during use, the stable support of the frame and the continuous transmission function of the conveying mechanism work together, along with the continuous feeding of the hopper in the sugar-spreading mechanism, the connection design between the first and second troughs in the transfer component, and the reciprocating motion control of the rod under the drive of the driving component, to achieve the automatic intermittent and precise sugar-spreading operation of the food during the conveying process. When the rod pushes out the sugar in the first trough, its side wall stops the sugar in the second trough from falling further. After the rod returns to its original position, the sugar falls back into the first trough. Thus, the technical effects of uniform sugar spreading on the food surface, precise and controllable sugar spreading amount, and continuous and efficient sugar spreading process are achieved during continuous transmission.

The conveying mechanism 2 is used to transport food to be sprinkled with sugar from the outside. The sugar-sprinkling mechanism 3 includes a transfer component 31, on which a hopper 32 is provided. The transfer component 31 also has a first trough 311 and a second trough 312, the second trough 312 being connected to the internal space of the hopper 32 and the first trough 311 respectively. The sugar-sprinkling mechanism 3 further includes a rod 34 and a... The drive member 33 drives the reciprocating motion of the drive rod 34. The rod 34 is housed in the first groove 311. The external sugar material contained in the hopper 32 falls into the first groove 311 through the second groove 312. When the rod 34 pushes out the sugar material in the first groove 311, the sugar material contained in the second groove 312 is stopped by the side wall of the rod 34 and will not fall. After the rod 34 pushes out the sugar material and resets, the sugar material contained in the second groove 312 falls into the first groove 311.

[0028] With the above structural setup, during use, the stable support of the frame 1 and the continuous transmission function of the conveying mechanism 2 work together, along with the continuous feeding of the hopper 32 in the sugar-spreading mechanism 3, the connection design between the first groove 311 and the second groove 312 in the transfer component 31, and the reciprocating motion control of the rod 34 driven by the drive component 33, to achieve the automatic intermittent and precise sugar-spreading operation of the food during the conveying process. When the rod 34 pushes out the sugar in the first groove 311, its side wall stops the sugar in the second groove 312 from falling further. After the rod 34 resets, the sugar falls back into the first groove 311. Thus, the technical effect of uniform sugar spreading on the food surface, precise control of the amount of sugar spread, and continuous and efficient sugar spreading process is achieved during continuous conveying.

The second trough 312 is connected to the internal space of the hopper 32 through the third trough 313, which can form a flow channel to guide the sugar in the hopper 32 to flow smoothly into the second trough 312 through the third trough 313, avoiding the problem of sugar blockage and achieving the effect of smooth sugar flow and stable supply.

By adjusting the height of the discharge hopper 35, the sugar sprinkling position can be precisely controlled, achieving the effect of adjustable sugar sprinkling position, strong adaptability and uniform sugar sprinkling.
