Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chocolate production equipment, and in particular to a rapid cooling device for chocolate molding. Background Technology
[0002] With the continued growth in demand for chocolate and the expansion of chocolate production scale, the requirements for production efficiency and product quality are also increasing. In the cooling process after chocolate forming, the limitations of traditional cooling methods are becoming increasingly apparent.
[0003] Common chocolate cooling methods mostly employ natural cooling or simple air-cooling equipment. Natural cooling takes a long time, which greatly limits production efficiency and makes it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Some simple air-cooling or water-cooling equipment has uneven cooling effect. These traditional cooling methods are inefficient in terms of energy utilization and increase production costs. Therefore, we propose a rapid cooling device for chocolate molding to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid cooling device for chocolate molding, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A rapid cooling device for chocolate molding includes: a cooling box, a shelf slidably mounted inside the cooling box, multiple sets of chocolate molding mold bodies mounted on the top of the shelf, a frame, two sets of support plates, and a cooling water tank fixedly mounted on the top of the cooling box, cooling pipes wound around the inside of the two sets of support plates, multiple sets of cooling guide plates fixedly mounted on the outside of the cooling pipes, the outlet of the cooling pipes connected to one side of the cooling water tank, a circulating pump connected to one side of the cooling water tank, the other end of the cooling pipes connected to the outlet of the circulating pump, an air guide pipe connected to the inner wall of the top of the cooling box, a filter plate abutting the bottom of the air guide pipe, two sets of brackets fixedly mounted on the top of the frame, rotating rods rotatably mounted inside the two sets of brackets, two sets of bevel gears fixedly mounted on the outside of the rotating rods, two sets of rotating shafts rotatably mounted on the top of the frame, bevel gears fixedly mounted at the top of each of the two sets of rotating shafts, and fans fixedly mounted at the bottom of each of the two sets of rotating shafts.
[0006] Preferably, insert rods and limiting rods are slidably installed on both sides of the air guide duct. One end of the insert rod and the limiting rod on the same side is fixedly installed with a connecting seat. One side of each of the two sets of connecting seats is fixedly installed with a pull ring. The two sets of insert rods are movably inserted into both sides of the filter plate. A return spring is sleeved on the outer side of each of the two sets of limiting rods.
[0007] Preferably, the placement rack has ventilation holes inside, a handle is fixedly installed on one side of the placement rack, two sets of fans are set inside the frame, and multiple sets of cooling plates are set below the two sets of fans and above the air duct.
[0008] Preferably, the two sets of bevel gears one mesh with the corresponding bevel gear two, and a motor is fixedly installed on one side of one set of the brackets, and one end of the rotating rod is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor.
[0009] Preferably, the top of the frame is provided with an air intake grille, and both sides of the cooling box are provided with ventilation grilles.
[0010] Preferably, the air duct has limit grooves on both sides, the two sets of limit rods are slidably installed in the corresponding limit grooves, and the two ends of the two sets of return springs are respectively fixedly installed on one side of the corresponding limit groove and one side of the corresponding limit rod.
[0011] In this utility model, a rapid cooling device for chocolate forming is provided by setting an air intake grille on the top of the placement rack to create a specific channel for outside air to enter the cooling device. By opening ventilation holes inside the placement plate, multiple through paths are created for cold air, which greatly optimizes the air circulation in the cooling box. By setting ventilation grilles on both sides of the cooling box, the cooling air is kept at a low temperature, which efficiently removes the heat during the chocolate forming process, greatly improves the cooling efficiency, and speeds up the chocolate forming process. In this invention, a rapid cooling device for chocolate molding is provided. By setting a pull ring to drive the corresponding connecting seat, insert rod, and limiting rod to move relative to each other, the return spring contracts, and the insert rod is pulled out from both sides of the filter plate, releasing the lock on the filter plate, so that the filter plate can be removed. Under the elastic force of the return spring, the insert rod is reinserted into both sides of the filter plate, and the limiting rod slides back into the limiting groove under the action of the return spring to fix the filter plate. This realizes the rapid installation and removal of the filter plate without the need for additional tools, greatly simplifying the operation steps. Workers can quickly complete the filter plate cleaning work, reduce labor intensity, and improve maintenance efficiency. This utility model features a reasonable structural design. During use, a circulating pump draws coolant from the cooling water tank into the cooling pipes. The cooling pipes are fixed by two sets of support plates, allowing multiple sets of cooling plates to lower the temperature and prepare for subsequent cooling air. A motor drives a rotating rod and two sets of bevel gears. Since the two sets of bevel gears mesh with their corresponding bevel gears, they drive the two sets of bevel gears and two rotating shafts to rotate synchronously. This, in turn, drives two sets of fans to rotate synchronously, generating airflow that guides the cool air through the air duct and filters it through the filter plates before it enters the cooling chamber. This rapidly cools and shapes the chocolate molding body on the shelf. The entire process significantly shortens the air cooling and transport time, accelerates the cooling speed of the chocolate molding body, and greatly increases the chocolate output per unit time, meeting the needs of large-scale production.

The other end of the cooling pipe 16 is connected to the outlet of the circulating pump 19. A guide pipe 20 is connected to the top inner wall of the cooling box 1. The bottom of the guide pipe 20 abuts against the filter plate 21. Two sets of brackets 8 are fixedly installed on the top of the frame 6. A rotating rod 10 is rotatably installed inside the two sets of brackets 8. Two sets of bevel gears 11 are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating rod 10. Two sets of rotating shafts 13 are rotatably installed on the top of the frame 6. A bevel gear 12 is fixedly installed at the top of each of the two sets of rotating shafts 13. A fan 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom of each of the two sets of rotating shafts 13.
[0016] In this embodiment, insert rods 22 and limiting rods 25 are slidably installed on both sides of the air duct 20. Connecting seats 23 are fixedly installed at one end of the insert rods 22 and limiting rods 25 on the same side. Pull rings 24 are fixedly installed on one side of both sets of connecting seats 23. The two sets of insert rods 22 are movably inserted into both sides of the filter plate 21. Return springs 26 are sleeved on the outer side of both sets of limiting rods 25. Workers can quickly complete the cleaning of the filter plate 21, reduce labor intensity, and improve maintenance efficiency.
[0017] In this embodiment, ventilation holes are provided inside the placement rack 2, and a handle 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the placement rack 2. Two sets of fans 14 are set inside the frame 6, and multiple sets of cooling plates 17 are set below the two sets of fans 14 and above the air duct 20, so that the temperature changes evenly during the molding process of the chocolate, which greatly improves the quality consistency of the chocolate product.
[0018] In this embodiment, two sets of bevel gears 11 mesh with the corresponding bevel gears 12. A motor 9 is fixedly installed on one side of one set of brackets 8, and one end of the rotating rod 10 is fixedly installed on the output end of the motor 9, ensuring that cooling air can be continuously and efficiently delivered to the cooling box 1, which effectively guarantees the stability and efficiency of the chocolate molding and cooling process.
[0019] In this embodiment, an air intake grille 7 is provided on the top of the frame 6, and ventilation grilles 4 are provided on both sides of the cooling box 1, which greatly improves the cooling efficiency, speeds up the chocolate forming process, and meets the demand for efficient cooling in large-scale production.
[0020] In this embodiment, limit grooves are provided inside both sides of the air duct 20, and two sets of limit rods 25 are slidably installed in the corresponding limit grooves. The two ends of the two sets of return springs 26 are respectively fixedly installed on one side of the corresponding limit groove and one side of the corresponding limit rod 25 to prevent the filter plate 21 from shifting or shaking at the bottom of the air duct 20.
[0021] In this embodiment, during use, the circulation pump 19 is started to pump the coolant in the cooling water tank 18 into the cooling pipe 16. The cooling pipe 16 is fixed by two sets of support plates 15. The coolant circulates in the cooling pipe 16, continuously carrying away heat, which reduces the temperature of the multiple sets of cooling plates 17 fixed on the outside of the cooling pipe 16, preparing for subsequent cooling air. Then, the motor 9 is started to drive the rotating rod 10 and the two sets of bevel gears 11 to rotate. Since the two sets of bevel gears 11 mesh with the bevel gears 12 at the top of the two sets of rotating shafts 13 respectively, the two sets of bevel gears 12 and the two sets of rotating shafts 13 are driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two sets of fans 14 to rotate synchronously. The wind force drives the cold air through the air duct 20 and the filter plate 21 to filter the cold air into the cooling box 1, which quickly cools and shapes the chocolate molding mold body 5 on the placement rack 2. By setting an air intake grille 7 on the top of the placement rack 2, a specific channel is created for outside air to enter the cooling device. By opening ventilation holes inside the placement plate, multiple through paths are created for cold air, which greatly optimizes the air circulation in the cooling box 1. By setting ventilation grilles 4 on both sides of the cooling box 1, the cooling air is kept at a low temperature, which efficiently removes the heat during the chocolate forming process, greatly improves the cooling efficiency, and speeds up the chocolate forming process. When the filter plate 21 needs to be cleaned, pull the pull ring 24 to move the corresponding connecting seat 23, insert rod 22 and limiting rod 25 relative to each other. The return spring 26 retracts, and the insert rod 22 is pulled out from both sides of the filter plate 21, releasing the lock on the filter plate 21. Thus, the filter plate 21 can be taken out. After cleaning, put the filter plate 21 back in its original position, release the pull ring 24, and under the elastic force of the return spring 26, the insert rod 22 is reinserted into both sides of the filter plate 21. Under the action of the return spring 26, the limiting rod 25 slides back into the limiting groove under the action of the return spring 26, fixing the filter plate 21, thus realizing the quick installation and removal of the filter plate 21.
