Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of perilla plum slice preparation technology, specifically a perilla plum slice segmented temperature-controlled sugar infusion device. Background Technology

[0002] Perilla plum slices, a traditional healthy snack, are loved by consumers for their unique flavor and nutritional value. The sugar-infusion process in its production is crucial, directly affecting the product's taste, texture, and flavor retention. Traditional sugar-infusion processes often employ static soaking or simple stirring, making it difficult to achieve a rapid and uniform integration of sugar with the plum slices' structure. According to CN117179109A, a special equipment for flavoring preserved plums with ultrasonic-assisted sugar penetration function is disclosed. This technology discloses a technical solution including "a supporting base plate, a sugar solution tank, a sugar penetration treatment tank, and a placement basket. The supporting base plate has a sugar solution tank and a sugar penetration treatment tank respectively on the upper left and right sides. An ultrasonic instrument and a microwave generator are installed on the inner walls of both sides of the sugar penetration treatment tank from top to bottom." It has the technical effects of "generating ultrasonic waves by setting up an ultrasonic instrument, and then using ultrasonic sugar penetration technology to help the sugar solution penetrate into the preserved plum tissue better, accelerate the sugar penetration rate, reduce the sugar penetration time, and improve production efficiency. At the same time, since the sugar penetration time is reduced, the use of preservatives will also be reduced, which improves food safety to a certain extent. In addition, it can realize the combined drying of microwave drying and hot air drying, so that the drying efficiency of the preserved plums after flavoring is better." The aforementioned sugar infiltration devices generally suffer from uneven mixing during processing. Due to the simple structure and limited coverage of traditional stirring devices, they cannot effectively cope with the flow characteristics of high-viscosity sugar solutions, resulting in severe sugar solution concentration stratification and pine nut deposition. Insufficient contact between pine nut and sugar solution leads to uneven sugar infiltration, directly affecting the consistency of the final product quality. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a segmented temperature-controlled sugar infusion device for perilla and plum slices. Through a single-point input and multi-point output transmission method, it achieves synchronous and efficient operation of four stirring shafts with a single drive source, improving the utilization rate of the tank space and the coverage of stirring, ensuring high intensity and no dead corners in material mixing, and avoiding the problems of easy deposition of plum slices and uneven sugar infusion in high-viscosity sugar solutions.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a segmented temperature-controlled sugar infusion device for perilla plum slices, comprising a preparation tank for temperature-controlled sugar infusion processing of perilla plum slices, the preparation tank comprising: The main components include an inner liner fixed inside the tank body, with a tank cover installed on the upper flange of the inner liner; The mixing assembly includes a partition plate fixed to the upper part of the inner liner, a flange head fixed to the upper part of the partition plate, a main shaft rotatably mounted inside the flange head, a first gear fixed to the lower end of the main shaft, a cross bracket fixed to the lower end of the flange head, four circumferentially arranged second gears rotatably mounted at the bottom of the cross bracket and meshing with the first gear for transmission, a first pulley fixed to the lower end of the second gear, shafts rotatably mounted at all four ends of the cross bracket, a second pulley fixed to the upper end of the shaft, and a belt installed between the second pulleys and the first pulleys; An actuating component, mounted on a shaft, is used to stir and mix materials.

[0005] Preferably, the actuation component includes a stirring shaft fixed to the lower end of the shaft, stirring blades fixed to the outer wall of the stirring shaft, and the stirring blades on adjacent stirring shafts are staggered vertically.

[0006] Preferably, the mixing assembly further includes a shaft bracket fixed to the four ends of the bottom of the cross bracket, with a tensioning wheel rotatably mounted on the lower end of the shaft bracket to tension the belt.

[0007] Preferably, the main component further includes a flange seat fixed to the upper end of the can lid, and a flange head fixed to the lower end of the flange seat. A geared motor is installed on the upper end of the flange seat and is used to drive the main shaft to rotate.

[0008] Preferably, the main component further includes a heating layer disposed between the tank body and the inner liner, and a heating tube is installed at the lower end of the heating layer.

[0009] Preferably, the main component further includes a discharge port located at the lower end of the inner liner and an injection port located at the upper end of the can lid.

[0010] Beneficial effects This invention provides a segmented temperature-controlled sugar infusion device for perilla and plum slices. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages: 1. When the main shaft rotates, the first gear at its lower end meshes with four second gears arranged circumferentially to form a first-stage planetary gear reduction and power distribution mechanism, which evenly distributes the central power to the four workstations. The first pulley at the lower end of each second gear then drives the second pulley at the upper end of the corresponding shaft through a belt, forming a second-stage belt drive, which ultimately drives the four shafts and the stirring shaft and stirring blades below them to rotate synchronously. Through the transmission form of single-point input and multi-point output, the synchronous and efficient operation of the four stirring shafts is achieved with a single drive source, which improves the utilization rate of the space inside the tank and the coverage of the stirring, ensures high intensity and no dead corners in the mixing of materials, and avoids the problems of easy deposition of borneol and uneven sugar penetration in high-viscosity sugar solutions.

[0011] 2. When each stirring shaft rotates synchronously under the drive of the mixing components, the staggered stirring blades form a phase-shifting motion trajectory in space; this avoids mechanical collisions and motion interference between stirring blades on adjacent stirring shafts during high-speed rotation, ensuring the operational safety and reliability of the multi-shaft synchronous stirring system; furthermore, the staggered stirring blades form a composite flow field covering the axial and radial directions of the tank during rotation, which not only generates strong radial vortices to eliminate mixing dead zones inside the tank, but also induces efficient axial circulation flow through the staggered arrangement of the blades in the vertical direction.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0015] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a segmented temperature-controlled sugar infusion device for perilla plum slices, including a preparation tank 1 for temperature-controlled sugar infusion processing of perilla plum slices, the preparation tank 1 including: The main component 11 includes an inner liner 112 fixed inside the tank body 111, and a tank cover 113 is installed on the upper flange of the inner liner 112. The mixing component 12 includes a partition 121 fixed to the upper end of the inner liner 112. A flange head 122 is fixed to the upper end of the partition 121. A main shaft 123 is rotatably mounted inside the flange head 122. A first gear 124 is fixed to the lower end of the main shaft 123. A cross bracket 125 is fixed to the lower end of the flange head 122. Four second gears 126 arranged in a circle are rotatably mounted at the bottom of the cross bracket 125 and mesh with the first gears 124 for transmission. A first pulley 127 is fixed to the lower end of the second gears 126. A shaft 128 is rotatably mounted at each of the four ends of the cross bracket 125. A second pulley 129 is fixed to the upper end of the shaft 128. A belt 1210 is installed between the second pulley 129 and the first pulley 127. The actuating component 13 is mounted on the shaft 128 and is used to stir and mix the materials.

[0016] In this embodiment, when the main shaft 123 rotates, it meshes with the first gear 124 at its lower end and four circumferentially arranged second gears 126 to form a first-stage planetary gear reduction and power distribution mechanism, thereby evenly distributing the central power to the four workstations. The first pulley 127 at the lower end of each second gear 126 then drives the second pulley 129 at the upper end of the corresponding shaft 128 through the belt 1210, forming a second-stage belt drive, which ultimately drives the four shafts 128 and the stirring shaft 131 and stirring blades 132 below them to achieve synchronous rotation. Through the transmission form of single-point input and multi-point output, the synchronous and efficient operation of the four stirring shafts is achieved with a single drive source, which improves the utilization rate of the space inside the tank and the coverage of the stirring, ensures high intensity and no dead corners in the mixing of materials, and avoids the problems of easy deposition of laurel slices and uneven sugar penetration in high-viscosity sugar solutions.

[0017] Specifically, the execution component 13 includes a stirring shaft 131 fixed to the lower end of the shaft 128, and stirring blades 132 are fixed to the outer wall of the stirring shaft 131, with the stirring blades 132 on adjacent stirring shafts 131 being staggered vertically.

[0018] In this embodiment, when each stirring shaft 131 rotates synchronously under the drive of the mixing component 12, the staggered stirring blades 132 form a staggered phase motion trajectory in space; this avoids mechanical collisions and motion interference between the stirring blades 132 on adjacent stirring shafts 131 when they rotate at high speed, ensuring the operational safety and reliability of the multi-shaft synchronous stirring system; furthermore, the staggered stirring blades 132 form a composite flow field covering the axial and radial directions of the tank when rotating, which not only generates strong radial vortices to eliminate mixing dead angles in the tank, but also induces efficient axial circulation flow through the staggered arrangement of the blades in the vertical direction.

[0019] Specifically, the mixing assembly 12 also includes a shaft bracket 1211 fixed to the four ends of the bottom of the cross bracket 125. A tensioning wheel 1212 is rotatably mounted on the lower end of the shaft bracket 1211 and tensions the belt 1210.

[0020] In this embodiment, the tensioning pulley 1212 continuously keeps the belt 1210 in the optimal tension state, completely eliminating the possible slippage, vibration or tooth skipping phenomena in the transmission system.

[0021] Specifically, the main component 11 also includes a flange seat 114 fixed to the upper end of the can cover 113, and a flange head 122 fixed to the lower end of the flange seat 114. A geared motor 115 is installed on the upper end of the flange seat 114 and is used to drive the main shaft 123 to rotate.

[0022] Specifically, the main component 11 also includes a heating layer 116 disposed between the tank body 111 and the inner liner 112, and a heating tube 117 is installed at the lower end of the heating layer 116.

[0023] In this embodiment, the heat generated by the heating tube 117 is evenly distributed within the heating layer 116 through thermal conduction and convection, and is smoothly transferred to the material through the wall of the inner liner 112 in a large-area contact manner; ensuring that the temperature of the sugar solution in the entire inner liner 112 quickly reaches and maintains the process requirements, providing a precise and reliable thermal environment for the segmented temperature-controlled sugar infiltration process.

[0024] Specifically, the main component 11 also includes a discharge port 118 located at the lower end of the inner liner 112, and a filling port 119 located at the upper end of the lid 113.

[0025] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, at the start of operation, the perilla plum slices and sugar syrup are added into the inner liner 112 through the filling port 119 at the upper end of the can lid 113. Then, the filling port 119 is closed to ensure the can is sealed. The reduction motor 115 is started to drive the main shaft 123 to rotate. The main shaft 123 forms a planetary gear transmission by meshing the first gear 124 at its lower end with four circumferentially arranged second gears 126, which evenly distributes the power to the four workstations. The first pulley 127 at the lower end of each second gear 126 drives the second pulley 129 at the upper end of the corresponding shaft 128 through the belt 1210. The tension wheel 1212 continuously tensions the belt 1210. Tension is applied to prevent slippage, ultimately driving the four shafts 128 and the stirring shaft 131 at their lower ends to rotate synchronously. At this time, the stirring blades 132 on the adjacent stirring shafts 131 form a three-dimensional composite flow field in the tank, achieving high-intensity mixing without dead angles and completely preventing the deposition of plum slices and the separation of sugar solution. At the same time, the heating tube 117 is activated to heat the heating layer 116. The heat is evenly transferred to the material through the wall of the inner liner 112, achieving precise temperature control and meeting the process requirements of different sugar infusion stages. After the sugar infusion process is completed, the discharge port 118 at the lower end of the inner liner 112 is opened, and the perilla plum slices and sugar solution that have completed sugar infusion are completely discharged by gravity, completing the entire processing flow.
