Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of candy production and processing technology, specifically to a grid-adjustable sugar solution freezing tank. Background Technology

[0002] In the candy production and processing process, the sugar solution freezing tank can cool and solidify the sugar solution to form a solid sugar paste with a certain shape and hardness, ensuring the quality of subsequent processes such as extrusion, molding, and granulation.

[0003] Nowadays, sugar syrup freezing tanks are usually made of metal materials with good thermal conductivity. When sugar crystals are heated in a heating pot to form syrup, and then boiled and stirred in a stirring pot, they become hot sugar syrup with a specific viscosity. At this point, the hot sugar syrup needs to be poured into each compartment of the freezing tank. When the sugar syrup comes into contact with the cold metal bottom and walls of the tank, the heat is quickly carried away, thus turning it into a solid sugar paste with a certain shape and hardness.

[0004] However, the size of the sugar paste required for solidification varies depending on the type and size of the candy being processed. Existing sugar syrup freezing tanks typically have fixed compartment sizes, which cannot accommodate the cooling and solidification of sugar pastes of different sizes. Therefore, this invention proposes a sugar syrup freezing tank with adjustable compartment sizes to effectively solve the aforementioned drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a grid-adjustable sugar solution freezing tank to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: an adjustable sugar solution freezing tank, comprising a tank body, wherein a plurality of slots are provided in a matrix distribution around the inner wall of the tank body, a plurality of longitudinal partitions are inserted into the tank body at intervals along its width direction and along its length direction, the longitudinal partitions being adapted to be inserted into the slots, and a plurality of transverse partitions are inserted into the tank body at intervals along its length direction and along its width direction, the transverse partitions being adapted to be inserted into the slots, the longitudinal partitions and the transverse partitions intersecting each other perpendicularly to form cooling compartments, and the size of the cooling compartments can be changed by adjusting the insertion position of the longitudinal partitions and the transverse partitions.

[0007] Optionally, the length of the longitudinal partition is adapted to the width of the inner side of the pool body. Two first adjusting rods are fixedly provided on the top surface of the longitudinal partition along the height direction of the pool body. The two first adjusting rods are symmetrically distributed front and back along the width direction of the pool body. The top ends of the two first adjusting rods extend above the pool body and bend towards opposite sides.

[0008] Optionally, the opposite sides of the two first adjusting rods each protrude outward to form a first insertion block, the first insertion block and the slot are shaped to match, and the first insertion block slides into the slot along the height direction of the pool body.

[0009] Optionally, the length of the transverse partition is adapted to the inner length of the pool body, and two second adjusting rods are fixedly provided on the top surface of the transverse partition along the height direction of the pool body. The two second adjusting rods are symmetrically distributed from left to right along the length direction of the pool body, and the top ends of the two second adjusting rods extend above the pool body and bend towards opposite sides.

[0010] Optionally, the opposite sides of the two second adjusting rods protrude outward to form a second insertion block, the shape of the second insertion block and the slot are matched, and the second insertion block slides into the slot along the height direction of the pool body.

[0011] Optionally, the height of the transverse partition is higher than the height of the longitudinal partition, and the transverse partition has a plurality of clearance openings that extend along the height direction of the pool body. The clearance openings are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the pool body, and the bottom of the clearance openings is open. The longitudinal partition slides and is nested inside the clearance openings.

[0012] Optionally, a sliding rod is slidably connected inside the recess along the height direction of the pool body, and the height of the sliding rod is not less than the height of the longitudinal partition. When the longitudinal partition is nested inside the recess, the upper and lower ends of the sliding rod abut against the top of the recess and the top surface of the longitudinal partition, respectively. When the longitudinal partition is disengaged from the recess, the bottom end of the sliding rod can slide to a state of sealing and fitting with the bottom wall of the pool body.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a grid-adjustable sugar solution freezing tank, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This utility model sets adjustable longitudinal and transverse partitions in the pool body, so that when the longitudinal and transverse partitions are inserted into slots at different positions, the size of the cooling grid formed by their intersection will also be different, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the size of the grid to meet the molding requirements of different specifications of sugar paste. 2. This utility model has a recessed groove on the horizontal partition for the nesting of the vertical partition, so that the adjustment of the position of the horizontal partition and the vertical partition does not interfere with each other. When the vertical partition is moved out, the lower half of the recessed groove is blocked and sealed by the sliding rod, so that the sugar liquid between different compartments will not come into contact with each other, and the sugar liquid in each compartment can form sugar paste independently.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 6 An adjustable-grid sugar syrup freezing tank includes a tank body 1. The inner wall of the tank body 1 has a plurality of slots 101 arranged in a matrix around its perimeter. A plurality of longitudinal partitions 2 are inserted into the tank body 1 at intervals along its width and length, and the longitudinal partitions 2 are adapted to fit into the slots 101. A plurality of transverse partitions 3 are also inserted into the tank body 1 at intervals along its length and width, and the transverse partitions 3 are adapted to fit into the slots 101. The longitudinal partitions 2 and transverse partitions 3 intersect perpendicularly to form cooling grids. The size of the cooling grids can be changed by adjusting the insertion positions of the longitudinal partitions 2 and transverse partitions 3. Longitudinal partitions 2 and transverse partitions 3 can be inserted into slots 101 at different positions, and the longitudinal partitions 2 and transverse partitions 3 can also be inserted into different slots 101, thereby changing the number and position of the longitudinal partitions 2 and transverse partitions 3 to change the size of the cooling grids formed by the intersection of the longitudinal partitions 2 and transverse partitions 3. This makes the freezing tank adjustable-grid to adapt to the molding operations of sugar syrups of different specifications.

[0018] In this embodiment, a number of slots 101 are spaced apart on the four sides of the inner wall of the pool body 1, with the slots 101 located near the top opening of the pool body 1. The slots 101 are vertically distributed and have an open top structure, so that the longitudinal partitions 2 and the transverse partitions 3 can be inserted into the slots 101 from above the pool body 1. In this embodiment, the slots 101 located on the same side of the pool body 1 are arranged at equal intervals to ensure that each compartment is the same size, which facilitates the batch molding of sugar paste of the same specification.

[0019] It should be noted that pool 1 has a double-layer structure with a cavity for water flow between the inner and outer side walls. The outer side wall of pool 1 has a water inlet and a water outlet to improve the efficiency of the metal pool wall in absorbing heat from the sugar solution, so that the sugar paste can be formed faster.

[0020] Furthermore, the length of the longitudinal partition 2 is adapted to the inner width of the pool body 1, so that after the longitudinal partition 2 is inserted into the pool body 1, it can divide the space inside the pool body 1. Sealing strips are fixedly connected to the front and rear side walls and the bottom wall of the longitudinal partition 2. These sealing strips are U-shaped and wrap around the side walls of the longitudinal partition 2, ensuring a tight seal between the longitudinal partition 2 and the front and rear side walls and the bottom wall of the pool body 1 after insertion, thus preventing sugar solution from flowing from one compartment to another. This also increases the friction between the longitudinal partition 2 and the inner wall of the pool body 1, making the longitudinal partition 2 more stable after installation.

[0021] To make it easier for staff to assemble and disassemble the longitudinal partition 2, such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, in this application, two first adjusting rods 201 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the longitudinal partition 2 along the height direction of the pool body 1. The two first adjusting rods 201 are symmetrically distributed front and back along the width direction of the pool body 1. The opposite sides of the two first adjusting rods 201 are flush with the front and rear sides of the longitudinal partition 2, respectively, and are also fixedly connected with sealing strips. The top ends of the two first adjusting rods 201 extend above the pool body 1 and are bent towards the opposite side. There is a gap between the bent part of the top end of the first adjusting rod 201 and the top surface of the pool body 1, so that the user can pull the longitudinal partition 2 out of the pool body 1 through the bent part, and also facilitate the insertion operation of the longitudinal partition 2. Through holes for bolt insertion can also be opened in the bent part, and threaded holes can be opened on the top surface of the pool body 1 corresponding to the bent part of the first adjusting rod 201, so as to fix the bent part of the first adjusting rod 201 to the top surface of the pool body 1 with bolts, making the longitudinal partition 2 more secure after installation.

[0022] Furthermore, both of the opposite sides of the first adjusting rods 201 protrude outward to form first insertion blocks 202. The shapes of the first insertion blocks 202 and the slots 101 are matched, and the first insertion blocks 202 slide into the slots 101 along the height direction of the pool body 1. After the first insertion blocks 202 slide into the slots 101, they can limit the longitudinal partition 2 and prevent the longitudinal partition 2 from moving horizontally within the pool body 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, the length of the transverse partition 3 is adapted to the inner length of the pool body 1. A U-shaped sealing strip is fixedly connected to the left and right side walls and bottom wall of the transverse partition 3 to ensure a sealed fit between the transverse partition 3 and the inner wall of the pool body 1.

[0024] Two second adjusting rods 301 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the transverse partition 3 along the height direction of the pool body 1. The two second adjusting rods 301 are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides along the length direction of the pool body 1. The top ends of the two second adjusting rods 301 extend above the pool body 1 and bend towards the opposite sides. The opposite sides of the second adjusting rods 301 are flush with the left and right sides of the transverse partition 3, and sealing strips are also fixedly connected to their surfaces. There is a gap between the bent part of the top end of the second adjusting rod 301 and the top surface of the pool body 1 to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the transverse partition 3 by the staff.

[0025] Furthermore, each of the two second adjusting rods 301 has a second insertion block 302 protruding outward from its opposite side. The second insertion block 302 matches the shape of the slot 101, and slides into the slot 101 along the height direction of the pool body 1. After the second insertion block 302 is inserted into the slot 101, it can limit the transverse partition 3, preventing the transverse partition 3 from moving in the horizontal direction.

[0026] It should be noted that the height of the transverse partition 3 is higher than the height of the longitudinal partition 2. The transverse partition 3 has several clearance openings 303, which extend along the height direction of the pool body 1. The clearance openings 303 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the pool body 1. The bottom of the clearance openings 303 is open. The longitudinal partition 2 is slidably nested inside the clearance openings 303 so that the longitudinal partition 2 and the transverse partition 3 can intersect to form cooling compartments.

[0027] A sealing strip is fixedly adhered to the inner wall of the recess 303 to ensure a tight seal between the side wall of the recess 303 and the longitudinal partition 2 after the longitudinal partition 2 enters the recess 303, preventing leakage and mixing of the sugar solution in each compartment. This also ensures that the position adjustments of the longitudinal partition 2 and the transverse partition 3 do not interfere with each other, preventing the transverse partition 3 from being obstructed by the longitudinal partition 2 when inserted into different slots 101. Furthermore, the transverse partition 3 can be slidably installed along the width of the pool body 1, allowing it to adjust its position within the pool body 1. The bent portion of the second adjusting rod 301 is connected and fixed to the top of the pool body 1 by bolts, further expanding the adjustable positions of the transverse partition 3.

[0028] It is worth mentioning that a sliding rod 304 is slidably connected inside the recess 303 along the height direction of the pool body 1. The height of the sliding rod 304 is not less than the height of the longitudinal partition 2. The height of the recess 303 is not less than the sum of the height of the sliding rod 304 and the height of the longitudinal partition 2, so that when the longitudinal partition 2 is nested inside the recess 303, the sliding rod 304 can slide upward inside the recess 303, so that the sliding rod 304 and the longitudinal partition 2 fill and seal the recess 303. When the number of longitudinal partitions 2 is changed so that there are no longitudinal partitions 2 inside the recess 303, the sliding rod 304 can be pushed downward until the bottom of the sliding rod 304 contacts the inner bottom wall of the pool body 1, thus completing the sealing of the lower half of the recess 303.

[0029] The bottom of the slide rod 304 is fixedly bonded with a sealing gasket to ensure a sealed contact between the slide rod 304 and the inner bottom wall of the pool body 1. The inner wall of the recess 303 has a sealing strip so that when the slide rod 304 slides in the recess 303, the slide rod 304 and the side wall of the recess 303 are also sealed to ensure airtightness. At the same time, there is a certain frictional resistance between the slide rod 304 and the recess 303 so that the slide rod 304 will not move in the recess 303 when no external force is applied. Specifically, in this embodiment, when a force greater than 5N is applied vertically to the slide rod 304, it can drive the slide rod 304 to move in the recess 303.

[0030] On the other hand, guide rails protrude from the left and right sides of the slide rod 304 along its height direction. A sliding groove is provided on the side wall of the recess 303 for the guide rails to slide. The shapes of the guide rails and the sliding grooves are matched, and both ends of the sliding grooves are closed to prevent the guide rails from sliding out of the grooves, thus preventing the slide rod 304 from disengaging from the recess 303. A protrusion extends outward from the side of the slide rod 304 near the top, allowing workers to push and pull the slide rod 304.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, when installing the longitudinal partition 2 and the transverse partition 3, the longitudinal partition 2 is inserted into the pool body 1, and the first insertion block 202 is slidably embedded into the slot 101, so that the bottom of the longitudinal partition 2 and the inner bottom wall of the pool body 1 are sealed and fitted together. Then, the transverse partition 3 is inserted, so that the longitudinal partition 2 is embedded into the recess 303. If there is no longitudinal partition 2 in some recess 303, the sliding rod 304 can be pushed down to seal and fit the sliding rod 304 and the inner bottom wall of the pool body 1. When it is necessary to adjust the size of the compartment, the size of the compartment can be adjusted by changing the number of longitudinal partitions 2 and transverse partitions 3, or by changing the insertion position of longitudinal partitions 2 and transverse partitions 3, so as to adapt to the molding operation of different specifications of sugar paste.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
