Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chocolate mold cleaning technology, and in particular to a chocolate mold cleaning component. Background Technology
[0002] Chocolate molds are important components used to cool and solidify molten chocolate into various shapes or patterns. After demolding, chocolate molds need to be cleaned before being used again to avoid contaminating the next production.
[0003] Due to the limited shapes required for producing chocolates, chocolate molds typically have complex structures such as hollows, recesses, and intricate textures. Manual cleaning is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and involves high time costs. Automatic cleaning systems struggle to thoroughly clean chocolate molds. If chocolate residue remains inside the mold, it can lead to poor shaping and demolding quality in subsequent chocolate production, resulting in defective products. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a chocolate mold cleaning component that can effectively reduce the cleaning time and ensure that all dead corners of the forming surface of the chocolate mold are cleaned, resulting in high cleaning efficiency.
[0005] This utility model provides a chocolate mold cleaning assembly, including a main body, a fixing member, and a support base. The main body includes a receiving cavity, and the dimensions of the main body are configured to allow the chocolate mold to be placed at an angle in the receiving cavity, with the molding surface of the chocolate mold facing up or down, allowing external cleaning liquid to enter the receiving cavity. The fixing member is installed on the upper end of the support base, and the main body is detachably installed on the fixing member, and the fixing member can move in the vertical direction, so that the main body and the chocolate mold inside it can move in the vertical direction.
[0006] In one embodiment, the main body includes a first support member, a first connecting frame, and a cover member. A plurality of the first support members extend in a vertical direction. The first connecting frame is connected to the upper and lower ends of the first support members. The cover member is closably mounted on one side of a first support member or a first connecting frame. The receiving cavity includes an opening for placing a chocolate mold. The cover member is capable of opening or closing the opening.
[0007] In one embodiment, the main body further includes a mesh element, which is respectively installed on the first support, the first connecting frame and the cover, and the mesh element communicates the receiving cavity with the outside so that external cleaning fluid can enter the receiving cavity.
[0008] In one embodiment, the fixing member includes a second support member and a second connecting frame. A plurality of second support members extend in the vertical direction and cooperate with the first support member. The second connecting frame is connected to the upper and lower ends of the second support member. When the fixing member is connected to the main body, the second support member is located outside the first support member, and the two second connecting frames are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the two first connecting frames.
[0009] In one embodiment, the fastener includes a first fixing part, which includes a first guide and an upper fastener. The first guide is mounted on the second connecting frame located at the upper end of the second support. The first guide is slidable with the first support and can contact the first connecting frame located at the upper end of the first support. The upper fastener is mounted on the upper end of the first guide and can connect with the first connecting frame located at the upper end of the first support.
[0010] In one embodiment, the fixing member includes a second fixing part, the second fixing part includes a second guide and a bottom support, the second guide is mounted on the second support, the second guide can slide with the first support and can contact the first connecting frame located at the lower end of the first support, the bottom support is connected to the lower end of the second guide, and the bottom support contacts the lower end of the first connecting frame located at the lower end of the first support.
[0011] In one embodiment, the second fixing part is installed on the lower part of the second support member, and the second fixing part is configured such that when the main body is connected to the fixing member, the lower end of the main body cooperates with the fixing member to form a drainage space.
[0012] In one embodiment, the lower end of the fixing member is provided with a lifting member, the fixing member and the support base are connected through the lifting member, the support base is provided with a power source for driving the lifting member, and the lifting member is used to enable the fixing member to move in the vertical direction relative to the support base.
[0013] In one embodiment, a plurality of the lifting members are disposed at the end corners of the lower end of the fixing member.
[0014] In one embodiment, the upper end of the support base is provided with a vertical guide rail, which extends in the vertical direction and slides with the fixing member.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The main body is used to tilt the chocolate mold so that the forming surface of the chocolate mold faces up or down, so that the residue on the forming surface can be exposed to the cleaning environment as much as possible, achieving thorough cleaning of the chocolate mold. During cleaning, the main body can move up and down in the direction driven by the fixed parts, which can agitate the cleaning liquid in the up and down direction. This allows the forming surface facing up or down to come into contact with the cleaning liquid with a certain impact force. That is, through the counter-current principle, the stains that are difficult to remove on the forming surface can be better washed away, achieving a "vibration" cleaning effect. Since the cavity needs to hold the chocolate mold, there will inevitably be a certain amount of space. That is, the size of the cavity will be larger than the size of the chocolate mold. During the movement of the main body in the up and down direction, since the main body and the chocolate mold inside are immersed in the cleaning solution, even if the chocolate mold shakes inside the cavity, the cleaning solution will buffer it so that even if the chocolate mold hits the cavity wall, it will not cause damage to the chocolate mold. The fastener and support base work together to secure the main body, facilitating its movement through various cleaning processes. They also drive the main body vertically during cleaning, ensuring thorough cleaning of all hard-to-reach areas on the chocolate mold's forming surface. This high-efficiency cleaning is particularly beneficial for chocolate production lines, where the tight production schedule often necessitates immediate cleaning of chocolate molds before the next production run. The chocolate mold cleaning component proposed in this invention effectively reduces cleaning time and improves production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” etc., are used merely to distinguish elements with similar attributes, not to indicate or imply relative importance or a specific order.
[0029] The terms “include,” “comprising,” or any other variation thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, which includes not only the elements listed but also other elements not expressly listed.
[0030] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The chocolate mold cleaning assembly proposed in this utility model includes a main body 10, a fixing member 20, and a support base 30. The main body 10 includes a receiving cavity 11 for accommodating a chocolate mold 40. The dimensions of the main body 10 are configured such that the chocolate mold 40 can be placed at an angle in the receiving cavity 11, with the molding surface 41 of the chocolate mold 40 facing upwards or downwards. External cleaning fluid can enter the receiving cavity 11 to clean the chocolate mold 40. The fixing member 20 is installed on the upper end of the support base 30 and can move in the vertical direction. The main body 10 is detachably installed on the fixing member 20, and the fixing member 20 can drive the main body 10 and the chocolate mold 40 contained therein to move in the vertical direction.
[0031] The main body 10 is used to tilt the chocolate mold 40 so that the forming surface 41 of the chocolate mold 40 faces upward or downward, so that the residue on the forming surface 41 can be exposed to the cleaning environment as much as possible, so as to achieve thorough cleaning of the chocolate mold 40. During cleaning, the main body 10 can move in the vertical direction under the drive of the fixing part 20, which can agitate the cleaning liquid in the vertical direction, thereby making the forming surface 41 facing upward or downward contact with the cleaning liquid with a certain impact force. That is, through the counterflow principle, the stains that are difficult to remove on the forming surface 41 are better washed away, achieving a "vibration" cleaning effect. Since the receiving cavity 11 needs to hold the chocolate mold 40, there will inevitably be a certain amount of space. That is, the size of the receiving cavity 11 will be larger than the size of the chocolate mold 40. During the movement of the main body 10 in the up and down direction, since the main body 10 and the chocolate mold 40 inside it are immersed in the cleaning liquid, even if the chocolate mold 40 shakes inside the receiving cavity 11, the cleaning liquid will buffer it so that even if the chocolate mold 40 hits the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 11, it will not cause damage to the chocolate mold 40. The fastener 20 and the support base 30 work together to fix the main body 10, making it easy to move the main body 10 in different cleaning processes. They can also drive the main body 10 to move up and down during the cleaning process, so that all the dead corners of the molding surface 41 of the chocolate mold 40 can be cleaned. The cleaning efficiency is high. Especially for chocolate production lines, where the production process is relatively compact, there are often situations where the chocolate mold 40 needs to be cleaned and put into the next production. The chocolate mold cleaning component proposed in this utility model can effectively reduce the time required for cleaning and help improve production efficiency.
[0032] In an example scheme, such as Figure 1 As shown, the main body 10 includes a first support member 101, a first connecting frame 102, and a cover member 103. A plurality of first support members 101 extend in the vertical direction. The first connecting frame 102 is connected to the upper and lower ends of the first support member 101. The first connecting frame 102 is used to connect the upper end and the lower end of the first support member 101 to ensure the stability of the structure of the first support member 101. The cover member 103 is closable and can be installed on one side of a first support member 101 or on one side of a first connecting frame 102. The receiving cavity 11 includes an opening for placing the chocolate mold 40. The cover member 103 can realize the opening or closing.
[0033] Furthermore, four first support members 101 are provided, and the four first support members 101 are parallel to each other. The first connecting frame 102 adopts a rectangular structure. Optionally, the first connecting frame 102 may also adopt a polygonal structure, etc.
[0034] Furthermore, the cover 103 is fixed to the first support 101 or the first connecting frame 102 by a snap-fit structure. When the cover 103 closes the opening of the receiving cavity 11, the cover 103 can be fixed by the snap-fit structure to prevent the cover 103 from being accidentally opened during the cleaning process and causing the chocolate mold 40 to fall out.
[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, the main body 10 also includes a mesh element 104, which is respectively installed on the first support 101, the first connecting frame 102, and the cover 103. The mesh element 104 connects the receiving cavity 11 to the outside and allows external cleaning fluid to enter the receiving cavity 11. Furthermore, the main body 10 is made of metal to provide good support for the chocolate mold 40 and prevent deformation due to the impact of the cleaning fluid during the vertical movement of the main body 10.
[0036] Optionally, the dimensions of the main body 10 are configured as follows: length 30cm, width 20cm, and height 10cm.
[0037] In an example scheme, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fixing member 20 includes second support members 201 and second connecting frames 202. Several second support members 201 extend vertically and cooperate with first support members 101. The second connecting frames 202 are connected to the upper and lower ends of the second support members 201 to ensure the stability of the second support member 201 structure. When the fixing member 20 is connected to the main body 10, the second support members 201 are located outside the first support members 101, and two second connecting frames 202 are located on the upper and lower sides of the two first connecting frames 102 respectively, so as to enclose the main body 10 within the space formed by the second support members 201 and the second connecting frames 202. Further, four second support members 201 are provided, and the four second support members 201 are parallel to each other. The second connecting frames 202 adopt a rectangular structure. Optionally, the second connecting frames 202 may also adopt a polygonal structure, etc.
[0038] The second support 201 and the second connecting bracket 202 can prevent the fixing member 20 from blocking the mesh member 104, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the cleaning fluid of the mesh member 104 penetrating into the receiving cavity 11, which in turn helps to ensure the cleaning efficiency of the chocolate mold 40 and avoids cleaning dead corners.
[0039] Exemplarily, the fastener 20 includes a first fastening portion, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first fixing part includes a first guide member 21 and an upper fastener 22. The first guide member 21 is installed at the four corners of the second connecting frame 202 located at the upper end of the second support member 201 and cooperates with the first support member 101 and the first connecting frame 102. When the main body 10 is connected to the fixing member 20, the first guide member 21 can slide with the first support member 101 and can contact the outer wall of the first connecting frame 102 located at the upper end of the first support member 101. The upper fastener 22 is installed at the upper end of the first guide member 21 and can be fixedly connected to the first connecting frame 102 located at the upper end of the first support member 101.
[0040] Optionally, the first guide member 21 is detachably connected to the second connecting frame 202, and the first guide member 21 of different specifications and sizes can be replaced according to the specifications and dimensions of the main body 10, so that the first fixing part can fix and install different main bodies 10.
[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first guide member 21 is an L-shaped member, which consists of two vertically connected plates to fit against the outer wall of the first support member 101 and the first connecting frame 102.
[0042] Furthermore, the upper ends of the upper fastener 22 and the first guide member 21 are configured to be movable, for example, by means of a hinge to achieve a flip connection. When the fastener 20 is assembled with the main body 10, the upper fastener 22 can avoid the main body 10. When fixing, the upper fastener 22 can be equipped with a snap-fit structure to achieve snap-fit fixing.
[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second connecting frame 202 has a first screw hole 203, and the upper fastener 22 has a second screw hole 221. The first screw hole 203 and the second screw hole 221 cooperate to achieve a detachable connection between the upper fastener 22 and the second connecting frame 202. When the fastener 20 is assembled with the main body 10, the upper fastener 22 can be separated from the second connecting frame 202 to avoid the main body 10. The upper fastener 22 has a third screw hole 222, and the upper end of the first connecting frame 102 has a fourth screw hole. The third screw hole 222 and the fourth screw hole cooperate to fix the upper fastener 22 to the first connecting frame 102.
[0044] Optionally, the upper fastener 22 is a triangular plate to minimize the obstruction of the upper part of the main body 10 and avoid affecting the cleaning fluid penetration efficiency of the mesh 104 on the first connecting frame 102.
[0045] Exemplarily, the fastener 20 includes a second fastening portion, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 5 The second fixing part includes a second guide member 23 and a bottom support member 24. The second guide member 23 is mounted on the second support member 201 and cooperates with the first support member 101 and the first connecting frame 102. When the main body 10 is connected to the fixing member 20, the second guide member 23 can slide with the first support member 101 and the second guide member 23 can contact the outer wall of the first connecting frame 102 located at the lower end of the first support member 101. The bottom support member 24 is connected to the lower end of the second guide member 23 and is used to contact the lower end of the first connecting frame 102 located at the lower end of the first support member 101.
[0046] Optionally, the second guide member 23 is detachably connected to the second support member 201, and the second guide member 23 of different specifications and sizes can be replaced according to the specifications and dimensions of the main body 10, so that the second fixing part can fix and install different main bodies 10.
[0047] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second guide member 23 is an L-shaped member, which consists of two vertically connected plates to fit against the outer wall of the first support member 101 and the first connecting frame 102.
[0048] Furthermore, the second fixing part is installed on the lower part of the second support member 201. The second fixing part is configured such that when the main body 10 is connected to the fixing member 20, the lower end of the main body 10 cooperates with the fixing member 20 to form a drainage space. That is, the second fixing part makes the lower end of the main body 10 suspended relative to the lower end of the fixing member 20, so that the external cleaning fluid can enter the drainage space and enter the receiving cavity 11 through the mesh member 104 installed on the first connecting frame 102 at the lower end of the main body 10.
[0049] Optionally, the base support 24 is a triangular plate to minimize the obstruction of the space under the main body 10, so as to avoid affecting the efficiency of cleaning fluid penetration into the mesh 104 on the first connecting frame 102.
[0050] For example, combined Figure 4 and Figure 6 The lower end of the fixing member 20 is provided with a lifting member 25. The lifting member 25 is installed on the second connecting frame 202 located at the lower end of the second support member 201 and is connected to the support base 30. The support base 30 is provided with a power source. The power source is used to drive the lifting member 25. The lifting member 25 is used to enable the fixing member 20 to move in the vertical direction relative to the support base 30, thereby driving the main body 10 and the chocolate mold 40 contained therein to move in the vertical direction.
[0051] For example, such as Figure 6 As shown, the upper end of the support base 30 is provided with a vertical guide rail 31. The vertical guide rail 31 extends in the vertical direction and slides with the fixing member 20. When the lifting member 25 drives the fixing member 20 to move in the vertical direction relative to the support base 30, the fixing member 20 slides with the vertical guide rail 31. The vertical guide rail 31 can play an auxiliary guiding role for the fixing member 20 to ensure that the lifting of the fixing member 20 is stable and efficient.
[0052] Furthermore, the vertical guide rail 31 adopts an L-shaped component, which consists of two vertically connected plates to mate with the outer wall of the fixing component 20.
[0053] Furthermore, the vertical guide rail 31 can be a flat plate to fit against the outer wall of the fixing member 20.
[0054] Furthermore, the lifting component 25 can be a vacuum rod, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the support base 30 has a through hole 32 that mates with the lifting component 25, and the lifting component 25 passes through the through hole 32. Optionally, the power source is a waterproof power source.
[0055] Furthermore, several lifting components 25 are arranged in parallel at the four corners of the fixing component 20 to ensure the stability of the lifting of the fixing component 20.
[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, the chocolate mold cleaning assembly proposed in this utility model is applied to a chocolate mold cleaning equipment. The chocolate mold cleaning equipment includes a bubble cleaning section 50, an atomizing cleaning section 60, a soft water cleaning section 70, and a conveying section. The chocolate mold 40 is installed inside the main body 10. The main body 10 is configured to move in the vertical direction, so as to drive the chocolate mold 40 to move in the vertical direction within the bubble cleaning section 50, the atomizing cleaning section 60, and the soft water cleaning section 70. The conveying section is used to transport the main body 10 between the bubble cleaning section 50, the atomizing cleaning section 60, and the soft water cleaning section 70. The bubble cleaning section 50 cleans the chocolate mold 40 inside the main body 10 with bubbles, the atomizing cleaning section 60 cleans the chocolate mold 40 inside the main body 10 with high-pressure atomized cleaning fluid, and the soft water cleaning section 70 cleans the chocolate mold 40 inside the main body 10 with softened water.
[0057] The bubble cleaning unit 50 assists in cleaning, and in conjunction with the up-and-down movement of the main body 10, the collision between the bubbles and the surface of the chocolate mold 40 enhances the emulsification effect, increases the contact area between the bubbles and the surface of the chocolate mold 40, and avoids cleaning dead corners. The atomizing cleaning unit 60 uses the counter-current principle and the property of hot melting of chocolate to wash away the clumps of chocolate residue on the chocolate mold 40. The soft water cleaning unit 70 reduces the hardness of the water on the surface of the chocolate mold 40, and in conjunction with the aforementioned bubble cleaning unit 50, reduces the presence of white watermarks on the chocolate mold 40, effectively reducing the cleaning time required, and ensuring that all dead corners of the molding surface 41 of the chocolate mold 40 are cleaned, resulting in high cleaning efficiency.
[0058] In one example, the bubble cleaning unit 50 includes a first chamber containing a high-temperature, weakly acidic detergent. A bubble generator is installed within the first chamber to create bubbles in the mixed cleaning solution, thereby cleaning the chocolate mold 40 within the main body 10 using these bubbles. The high-temperature, weakly acidic detergent reduces the alkaline precipitation of calcium and magnesium ions, preventing white watermarks on the cleaned chocolate mold 40. Furthermore, the hot melting property of chocolate effectively washes away any clumps of chocolate residue from the mold.
[0059] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the conveying unit includes a first conveying member 91, which is disposed above the first housing. The first conveying member 91 is capable of conveying the main body 10 from above the bubble cleaning unit 50 to the atomizing cleaning unit 60 above the first housing, and the first conveying member 91 is configured to move in the vertical direction (e.g., ...). Figure 7 (As shown by the bold arrow in the image), to send the main body 10 downward into the first box, or to send the main body 10 upward out of the first box.
[0060] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, a foam baffle 51 is provided inside the first box. The foam baffle 51 is located at the upper part of the first box and on one side of the first conveyor 91. The foam baffle 51 can block floating objects such as grease during the cleaning process, so as to reduce the foam carried by the main body 10 when it is sent out of the first box through the first conveyor 91, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the subsequent cleaning process.
[0061] In an example scheme, such as Figure 7 As shown, the atomizing cleaning unit 60 includes an atomizing nozzle 61, and the conveying unit includes a second conveying member 92. The second conveying member 92 is used to convey the main body 10 from the atomizing cleaning unit 60 to the soft water cleaning unit 70. The atomizing nozzle 61 is installed above the second conveying member 92 and / or installed on at least one side of the width direction of the second conveying member 92. The atomizing nozzle 61 can spray high-temperature and high-pressure atomized cleaning liquid onto the main body 10 to clean the main body 10. During the cleaning process, the main body 10 moves in the up and down direction to wash away the clumps of chocolate residue on the chocolate mold 40 by utilizing the countercurrent principle and the property of hot melting of chocolate.
[0062] For example, the second conveyor 92 is at the same height as the first conveyor 91 when it is above the first housing, and is able to receive the main body 10 from the first conveyor 91.
[0063] In an example scheme, such as Figure 7 As shown, the soft water cleaning unit 70 includes a soft water nozzle 71, which is installed above the second conveyor 92 and / or on at least one side of the second conveyor 92 in the width direction. The soft water nozzle 71 is used to spray softened water onto the main body 10. The softened water can reduce the water hardness on the surface of the chocolate mold 40, and thus cooperate with the aforementioned bubble cleaning unit 50 to reduce the presence of white watermarks on the chocolate mold 40.
[0064] For example, the soft water nozzle 71 is a duckbill nozzle.
[0065] In an example scheme, such as Figure 7As shown, the chocolate mold cleaning equipment proposed in this utility model also includes a drying section 80. The second conveyor 92 can send the main body 10 from the soft water cleaning section 70 to the drying section 80 for drying. The drying section 80 includes a filter fan, which can accelerate the drying of the chocolate mold 40 so that the cleaned chocolate mold 40 can be quickly put into production.
[0066] In an example scheme, such as Figure 7 As shown, the conveying unit also includes a third conveyor 93. The third conveyor 93 is at the same height as the first conveyor 91 when it is above the first box. The first conveyor 91 can receive the main body from the third conveyor 93. The third conveyor 93 can send the chocolate mold 40, which is placed inside the main body 10, to the first conveyor 91, and then send it to the bubble cleaning unit 50 through the first conveyor 91, or send it to the second conveyor 92 through the first conveyor 91.
[0067] For example, the conveying section uses a conveyor belt or conveyor rollers.
[0068] In one example, the main body 10 is fixed to the support base 30 by the aforementioned fastener 20. The structure of the fastener 20 is the same as that of the support base 30, and will not be described in detail here.
[0069] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
