Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of candy production, and in particular to a candy-filled pill dropping device and a candy-filled pill dropping method. Background Art

[0002] As an automated production equipment, the candy dropping pill device and the dropping pill method (or the dropping pill machine) are widely used in the production process of candies, medicines, health products and other products, especially in the field of sugar making. Its main function is to drop liquid substances into a specific solution, and finally form granular and spherical pills after cooling or chemical reaction. The working principle of the traditional dropping pill machine is to drop the liquid core material into the cooling solution through a specific nozzle, so that the material gradually solidifies into pills.

[0003] In candy production, especially in the production of high-end candy, the refinement and aesthetics of the appearance are crucial. Many consumers have high requirements for the outer surface texture of candy, especially decorative patterns such as stripes. Existing candy processing equipment can usually only achieve simple shape forming, but lacks fine texture carving functions. At the same time, during the production process, some candy raw materials or syrup residues often remain at the discharge port of the mold. If these residues are not cleaned up in time, it will not only affect production efficiency, but may also have a negative impact on the quality of subsequent batches of candy during the production process.

[0004] In addition, as consumers' demand for diversified candies increases, multi-layered and multi-flavored candies have become a hot topic in the market. For example, a new candy may require a complex structure with a sugar coating on the outer layer, strawberry jam in the middle, and chocolate sauce on the innermost layer. Existing pill dropping equipment is difficult to meet the production requirements of multi-layer structures at the same time. Due to the limitations of the equipment's structural design and control system, traditional equipment cannot accurately operate core materials of different layers at the same time in the same pill dropping process.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The above and other technical features and advantages of the present invention are described in more detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This embodiment provides a technical solution: a candy dropping pill device with a filling, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, it includes a forming mold 2, a negative pressure plate 7, a scraping mechanism, a radial driving mechanism 5 and a rotating mechanism, and each component is controlled and operated by an external controller.

[0023] A heating plate 1 is provided outside the molding die 2, and the heating plate 1 is used to properly heat the material to ensure the material fluidity and molding effect during the candy molding process. During the candy production process, the temperature control system of the heating plate 1 can keep the material within the optimal temperature range, avoiding poor material flow due to too low temperature, or excessive evaporation or deterioration of the material due to too high temperature, thereby ensuring the quality and appearance stability of the candy.

[0024] The forming mold 2 is designed to have at least three material channels, and a plurality of the material channels have downward discharge channels 29 . The plurality of discharge channels 29 are concentrically arranged, and each material channel is connected to a corresponding material box to achieve accurate material supply.

[0025] The forming mold 2 in this embodiment has four material channels. The forming mold 2 includes an outer cylinder, which includes a first cylinder part 21, a second cylinder part 22 and a third cylinder part 23 from top to bottom. Adjacent cylinder parts are connected by threaded pairs to ensure the stability and flexibility of the device structure. An outer shell 24 is installed on the outer side of the lower end of the outer cylinder, and a first material channel 25 is formed between the outer shell 24 and the outer cylinder. A first inner shell 210 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer cylinder, and a second inner shell 211 is fixed to the inner wall of the first inner shell 210. Through this nested structure, a second material channel 26, a third material channel 27 and a fourth material channel 28 are formed respectively. Each material channel is equipped with a feed port connected to an external material box, which can ensure the continuous supply and precise control of materials during the production process. The lower ends of the outer shell 24, the third cylinder part 23, the first inner shell 210 and the second inner shell 211 are all provided with an extension pipe 212 to increase the length of multiple material channels.

[0026] Compared with the traditional pill dropping device, the design of this embodiment can not only produce traditional single-layer sandwich candies (such as sugar coating on the outer layer and chocolate sauce on the inner layer) by setting four material channels, but also produce complex multi-layer sandwich candies by adjusting the opening and closing of different material channels. For example, the second material channel 26 and the third material channel 27 can be opened separately to produce chocolate-coated candies, and the first material channel 25 and the fourth material channel 28 can be opened separately to produce strawberry soft candies. The more flexible setting enables the device to be combined and produced in different ways according to needs, thereby meeting the market demand for diversified products.

[0027] By opening multiple channels at the same time, the device can produce candies with different tastes and flavors. For example, the second channel 26 can be filled with strawberry jam, the third channel 27 can be filled with chocolate sauce, and the fourth channel 28 can be used to produce the outer rubber layer. This design not only greatly improves the flexibility of candy production, but also provides consumers with more diverse choices, while reducing the time for equipment replacement and adjustment, and reducing production costs.

[0028] In addition, the design effectively improves production efficiency and output. The parallel operation of multiple channels reduces the frequency of material conversion and cleaning during production and improves the utilization rate of equipment. Different types of candies can be manufactured continuously on the same production line without frequent switching of production lines or equipment, saving time and labor costs.

[0029] The negative pressure plate 7 is installed in the forming mold 2. In this embodiment, the negative pressure plate 7 and the second material channel 26 of the forming mold 2 form an airtight chamber. The arrangement of the negative pressure plate 7 plays a vital role in the production process of candy pellets. The design of the airtight chamber ensures that a stable and controllable negative pressure environment can be generated during the forming process, so that the candy material can be accurately pressed and maintained in the desired shape.

[0030] The negative pressure plate 7 is connected to the telescopic end of an external telescopic device (not shown in the figure), and the external telescopic device is controlled by an external controller. The telescopic end of the external telescopic device can adjust the up and down movement of the negative pressure plate 7 according to production requirements through precise control. The setting of the controller makes the operation of the negative pressure plate 7 more automated and intelligent. The controller can easily set the lifting and lowering time of the negative pressure plate 7, adjust the duration and intensity of the negative pressure generated by it, thereby ensuring that the candy molding process is stable and accurate each time.

[0031] The negative pressure control mechanism makes the duration and pressure of each negative pressure generation tend to be stable, and this feature directly affects the candy molding effect. During the pill dropping process, the negative pressure force generated by the negative pressure plate 7 can quickly attract the material into the molding mold 2, and at the same time, under appropriate pressure, the material is evenly filled into the inner wall of the mold. This process ensures the consistency of the candy shape and avoids irregular shapes or appearance defects of the candy. By controlling the operating parameters of the negative pressure plate, the solidification speed, shape and hardness of the material can be effectively controlled, thereby ensuring the stable quality of the final product.

[0032] The rotating mechanism is arranged outside the lower end of the forming mold 2, and its function is to drive the scratching mechanism and the radial driving mechanism 5 to rotate, so as to adjust and control the path of carving the texture and form different texture types. This design enables the formation of the candy surface texture to be accurately adjusted during the pill dropping process, ensuring that the appearance quality of the candy meets the production standards. The precise control of the rotating mechanism is the key to achieving various texture effects (such as straight, oblique or wavy textures), which provides rich decorativeness and diversity for the appearance of the candy and enhances the market competitiveness of the product.

[0033] The rotating mechanism includes a drum 31 rotatably mounted on the outer side of the lower end of the forming mold 2, an outer gear ring 34 is fixed on the outer side of the drum 31, and the drum 31 is the rotating end of the rotating mechanism. A first motor 32 is fixed to the outer side of the forming mold 2 through a mounting plate on the upper side of the drum 31, and the outer gear ring 34 is meshed with a gear 33. The output end of the first motor 32 is fixed with a gear 33. The drum 31 can rotate at a stable speed to provide a precise moving path for the scraper 43. The rotation of the drum ensures the synchronous movement of the scraper in the discharge channel, thereby forming a uniform and delicate texture effect on the surface of the candy. The meshing connection mode of the gear 33 and the outer gear ring 34 ensures the smooth rotation of the drum 31, so that the scraping mechanism can continuously depict during the material discharge process, preventing the grain deviation or irregularity caused by uneven power transmission. The scraping mechanism is driven to rotate by rotating the drum 31. This transmission mode is simple and reliable, effectively reduces the friction and energy loss in the mechanical transmission, and ensures the high efficiency and stability of the equipment operation.

[0034] The main function of the scraping mechanism is to carve fine textures on the surface of the material through the scraping block 43 to enhance the aesthetic appearance and market appeal of the candy. The scraping mechanism is arranged on the forming mold 2 outside the discharge channel 29. The scraping mechanism includes a plurality of scraping blocks 43 distributed in an annular manner. The plurality of scraping blocks 43 slide radially along the discharge channel 29. During the material discharge process, the outermost material surface contacts the scraping block 43, thereby carving out the texture. The scraping block 43 can slide precisely along the radial direction of the material channel to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the texture, while avoiding texture deviation caused by uneven movement.

[0035] It should be noted that the scraper block 43 extends into the outermost discharge channel 29. This design ensures that the surface of the material discharged from the outermost channel can be accurately carved with textures, thereby ensuring the fineness of the candy's appearance. Through the accurate control of the scraper block 43, different styles of textures can be formed on the surface of the material, greatly enhancing the visual effect of the candy and making it more attractive in the market.

[0036] The scraping mechanism also includes a slide 41 fixed to the rotating end of the rotating mechanism, and a slide rod 42 is slidably arranged in the slide 41. The design of the slide allows the scraping block 43 to slide freely in the molding die, so as to adjust the depth and width of the texture as needed. The cooperation between the slide 41 and the slide rod 42 allows the scraping block 43 to move accurately on the molding die 2, thereby ensuring the uniformity and stability of the texture. The scraping block 43 is fixed to the inner end of the slide rod 42, so that the scraping block can be stably controlled in the molding process, avoiding uneven or missing textures caused by unstable movement.

[0037] The radial drive mechanism 5 is arranged outside the scraping mechanism, and its main function is to drive the multiple scraping blocks 43 to move synchronously, so as to adjust and accurately control the depth of the texture. The mechanism controls the radial displacement of the slide bar 42 to ensure that the scraping blocks 43 move evenly and synchronously along the discharge channel 29, thereby forming a clear and uniform texture effect on the candy surface. In this way, the texture carving depth during the production process can be accurately adjusted, avoiding candy appearance defects or quality fluctuations caused by uneven depth.

[0038] The radial drive mechanism 5 includes a through hole 56 opened at the outer end of a plurality of slide bars 42, and the plastic soft strip 51 passes through the plurality of through holes 56 to form an annular structure. Adjustment components are connected to both ends of the plastic soft strip 51, and the adjustment components are used to adjust the size of the annular structure, thereby achieving synchronous adjustment of the radial positions of the plurality of slide bars 42. The advantage of this design is that the plastic soft strip 51, as a flexible connection device, can effectively adjust the synchronization of the plurality of slide bars while maintaining stability and flexibility. Through the adjustment component, the producer can accurately control the moving range and speed of the slide bar, thereby accurately adjusting the force applied by the scraper block 43 to the material surface to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the texture effect.

[0039] An annular ring is fixed to the outer side of the rotating end of the rotating mechanism through a cross bar, and an elastic rope 57 is fixed between the outer ends of the plurality of slide bars 42 and the annular ring. The elastic rope 57 is connected between the annular ring and the slide bar to ensure that the slide bar has appropriate tension and stability during movement. The use of the elastic rope 57 effectively enhances the stability and durability of the device, avoids the slide bar from loosening or failing due to long-term use, and when the plastic soft strip 51 expands, the plurality of slide bars 42 will also move outward under the action of the elastic rope 57.

[0040] In other embodiments, the radial driving mechanism 5 may also drive a plurality of scraping blocks 43 to move evenly and synchronously along the discharge channel 29 through a plurality of linear motors.

[0041] The adjusting component includes a winding member and a pushing member. The winding member is used to wind or loosen the two ends of the plastic soft strip 51, and the pushing member is used to control the diameter of the annular structure.

[0042] The propulsion member includes an electric push rod 55 , and two guide wheels 54 are fixed to the telescopic end of the electric push rod 55 through a mounting seat. There is a gap between the two guide wheels 54 , and both ends of the plastic soft strip 51 pass through the gap to limit the plastic soft strip 51 .

[0043] The winding member includes a winding disk 52 , which is driven to rotate by a second motor 53 . Both ends of the plastic soft strip 51 are wound around the winding disk 52 to adjust the length of the plastic soft strip 51 .

[0044] The adjustment component includes a winding member and a pushing member, and through the coordinated cooperation of the winding member and the pushing member, the length of the plastic soft strip 51 and the diameter of the annular structure can be accurately controlled, thereby adjusting the radial positions of the plurality of slide bars 42. The design of the winding member and the pushing member enables the radial drive mechanism to be flexibly adjusted according to production requirements, ensuring that the texture carved by the scraper 43 on the candy surface reaches the expected depth and uniformity, providing greater production flexibility.

[0045] The winding member is used to wind up or unwind the two ends of the plastic soft strip 51. The winding member includes a winding disk 52. The winding disk 52 is driven to rotate by a second motor 53. The second motor 53 is fixed to the annular ring through a mounting plate. The two ends of the plastic soft strip 51 are wound around the winding disk 52. By rotating the winding disk 52, the length of the plastic soft strip 51 can be accurately adjusted. The design of the winding disk 52 makes the adjustment process more stable and efficient. The power provided by the second motor 53 can smoothly control the rotation speed and amplitude of the winding disk 52, ensuring that the length of the plastic soft strip 51 can be accurately adjusted according to production requirements, thereby achieving the purpose of synchronously adjusting the radial position of the slide rod 42.

[0046] The pusher is used to control the diameter of the annular structure. By controlling the size of the annular structure, the pusher can synchronously adjust the radial positions of multiple slide bars 42. The pusher includes an electric push rod 55, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 55 is fixed with two guide wheels 54 through a mounting seat. There is a gap between the two guide wheels 54, and both ends of the plastic soft strip 51 pass through the gap, thereby effectively limiting the movement trajectory of the plastic soft strip 51. The design of the guide wheel 54 ensures that the plastic soft strip 51 always remains stable during the adjustment process, avoiding the slide bar position deviation or asymmetry caused by irregular movement.

[0047] The slide bar 42 is provided with a residue removal mechanism, whose main function is to automatically remove the accumulated material residues during the candy production process to keep the production line clean and smooth. The residue removal mechanism includes a groove 61 opened on the slide bar 42, and a notch is provided on one lateral side of the groove 61. The notch is designed to allow the residue to enter the groove smoothly, thereby avoiding the phenomenon of residue accumulation or jamming. This design ensures that the residue can be effectively collected in the groove, providing space for subsequent cleaning and processing, and avoiding the interference of the residue with the production process.

[0048] A scraper 62 is rotatably mounted in the groove 61 via a rotating shaft. The scraper 62 is the core component of the residue removal mechanism and is responsible for scraping the residue at the bottom of the extension pipe 212. The rotating shaft is located on one side of the scraper 62 to ensure that the blade of the scraper 62 contacts the bottom of the extension pipe 212 after the scraper 62 is turned over.

[0049] A flip assembly is installed in the slide bar 42 to drive the scraper 62 to flip itself. The function of the flip assembly is to flip the scraper 62 so that it can contact the bottom of the extension pipe 212. The flip assembly includes a V-shaped push block 63 rotatably installed inside the groove 61. The design of the V-shaped push block 63 can effectively transmit force to the scraper 62, so that it produces a flipping action in the groove 61. One end of the V-shaped push block 63 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove 61.

[0050] A rubber block 65 is fixed to the inner wall of the through hole 56, and a push rod 64 is embedded and fixed inside the rubber block 65. The rubber block 65 can withstand a certain pressure without deformation. When the sliding rod 42 is pushed to move by the plastic soft strip 51, the force applied by the plastic soft strip 51 to the rubber block 65 will not cause it to deform. When the inner ends of multiple sliding rods 42 are abutted, the plastic soft strip 51 is further tightened, and the rubber block 65 will be deformed at this time. At this time, the push rod 64 will be pushed to move, and the V-shaped push block 63 will be pushed and turned, and finally the scraper 62 will be pushed and turned upward, and the scraper 62 will contact the bottom of the extension pipe 212, that is, when the rotating mechanism drives the scraper 62 to rotate, the scraper 62 can scrape the residue at the bottom of the extension pipe 212. Ensure the cleanliness of the inside of the equipment, prevent the accumulation of material residues, and affect the production efficiency and the appearance quality of the candy.

[0051] The groove 61 is connected to a suction pipe 66, which is used to suck and transport the removed residue to an external suction device. The suction pipe 66 is connected to the external suction device to ensure that the residue can be quickly removed through the principle of negative pressure or airflow, thereby avoiding repeated accumulation of residue during the production process.

[0052] A pill dropping method of the above sandwich candy pill dropping device comprises the following steps: Step 1: operate the heating plate 1 and inject corresponding materials into the corresponding material channel; First, the heating plate 1 is started to heat the material to ensure that it maintains appropriate fluidity during the molding process. The heating plate 1 can maintain the optimal temperature of the material so that the outer layer of the candy is not too hard or too soft, ensuring that the material can pass through the molding mold 2 smoothly. At the same time, the corresponding material is injected into the corresponding material channel. Different types of materials are injected into each material channel according to the needs of the candy, such as outer sugar coating, sandwich fillings or inner chocolate. Through precise control, the needs of different levels and flavors of candy can be met.

[0053] Step 2: The negative pressure plate 7 is pressed down by the telescopic device, so that the negative pressure plate 7 is deformed and the material in the material channel is pressed down; Next, the telescopic device is started, and the negative pressure plate 7 is pressed down by it. The negative pressure plate 7 forms pressure on the material in the material channel by generating deformation, and presses the material to the desired position. At this time, the negative pressure plate 7 cooperates with the material channel in the forming mold 2, and uses the negative pressure to promote the material to flow smoothly into each material channel and fill the mold, while avoiding leakage or waste of the material. The negative pressure plate 7 can accurately control the downward pressure of the material, ensuring that the material fills the mold evenly, laying the foundation for subsequent texture depiction and molding.

[0054] Step 3: The material is discharged from the discharge channel 29. At this time, the outermost material will contact with the plurality of scrapers 43 and form lines on its surface; After the material is successfully filled into the material channel, the material is discharged from the discharge channel 29 and enters the outside of the molding die. At this time, the outermost material will contact multiple scrapers 43, and the scrapers 43 will carve the surface of the material to form different texture effects. According to the different operating modes of the rotating mechanism, the following three different types of textures can be formed on the surface of the material: Straight pattern forming: the rotating mechanism does not operate, the positions of the plurality of scraping blocks 43 remain stationary, and the scraping blocks 43 will carve out a plurality of straight patterns along their fixed trajectories. Such patterns are usually suitable for candy products that require a simple appearance.

[0055] Oblique pattern forming: the rotating mechanism will operate in one direction, and the multiple scraping blocks 43 will move in the same direction synchronously to produce oblique patterns. This pattern effect adds a richer visual effect to the candy and is suitable for products with more personalized requirements.

[0056] Wave-like pattern forming: The rotating mechanism operates reciprocatingly, and the plurality of scraping blocks 43 reciprocate synchronously to form a wave-like pattern. This pattern design makes the surface of the candy look more dynamic and artistic, meeting the market demand for innovation and beautiful appearance.

[0057] A variety of different types of patterns can be flexibly selected according to production requirements. By adjusting the movement of the scraper and the control mode of the rotating mechanism, a variety of candies with different shapes can be produced on the same production line, greatly improving the diversity and flexibility of production.

[0058] Step 4: After the candy is formed, the negative pressure plate 7 is moved upward by the telescopic device, and negative pressure is formed in the corresponding material channel, which pulls the material upward, causing the material to be interrupted, that is, the candy is formed; When the candy shape is gradually formed and the lines are carved, the telescopic device is started to move the negative pressure plate 7 upward. At this time, the negative pressure generated by the negative pressure plate 7 pulls the material from the forming mold, causing the material to be interrupted and the candy forming process to be completed. The negative pressure generated by the negative pressure plate 7 ensures that the material can be quickly solidified and separated from the mold without deformation, thereby successfully completing the candy drop pill forming. The accuracy of negative pressure control ensures the consistency of the appearance and taste of each candy, and avoids uneven distribution of materials or appearance defects during the forming process.

[0059] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, which are only illustrative and not restrictive. Those skilled in the art understand that many changes, modifications, and even equivalences may be made to the present invention within the spirit and scope defined by the claims, but all of them will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
