DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the multi-color candy bar extrusion mechanism of the utility model comprises a frame 1, and a raw material chamber 2, an extrusion block 4 and an extrusion nozzle 3 installed on the frame 1, wherein the raw material chamber 2 is at least two. The function of the raw material chamber 2 is to add sugar-making raw materials of different colors, that is, one raw material chamber 2 is corresponding to one color of sugar-making raw materials. The specific number of the raw material chambers 2 is set accordingly according to the number of colors of the candy bars to be produced, such as: if the candy bars have three specific colors, correspondingly, there should be three raw material chambers 2. Figure 4 and Figure 7 For the extrusion mechanism for producing four-color candy bars, there are four raw material chambers 2. The extrusion block 4 is provided with at least one extrusion chamber 41, which is divided by a partition 46 into a plurality of single-color extrusion chambers 411 that are the same in number as the raw material chambers 2 and are arranged in sequence along a straight line and sealed. Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 5 and Figure 6In order to produce an extrusion mechanism for three-color candy bars, three extrusion chambers 41 are provided in the extrusion block 4, and the extrusion chamber 41 is divided into three single-color extrusion chambers 411 by a partition 46. The extrusion chamber 41 is provided with an active extrusion shaft 42 and a passive extrusion shaft 43 passing through each of the single-color extrusion chambers 411, and the active extrusion shaft 42 and the passive extrusion shaft 43 are respectively rotatably connected with the extrusion block 4. The passive extrusion shaft 43 is arranged side by side with the active extrusion shaft 42 and at intervals, and the single-color extrusion chamber 411 is provided with an active gear 44 and a passive gear 45 that mesh with each other and cooperate with the wall of the single-color extrusion chamber 411 to form a gear pump structure, the active gear 44 is installed on the active extrusion shaft 42, and the passive gear 45 is installed on the passive extrusion shaft 43, and one side of the single-color extrusion chamber 411 is provided with a feed hole, and the other side is provided with a discharge hole. An extrusion hole 31 is provided in the extrusion nozzle 3, and the extrusion nozzle 3 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the extrusion cavity 41. One end of the extrusion hole 31 of the extrusion nozzle 3 is connected to the discharge hole of the monochrome extrusion cavity 411 of the extrusion cavity 41 corresponding to the extrusion nozzle 3, and the feed hole of the monochrome extrusion cavity 411 of the extrusion cavity 41 is connected to the raw material cavity 2 one by one.

[0025] The sealing arrangement of the single-color extrusion chamber 411 is to prevent mutual leakage and cross-linking between adjacent single-color extrusion chambers 411 during the sugar-making process, thereby preventing the mixing of raw materials of different colors.

[0026] There can be one or more extrusion holes 31, and the shapes can be various, such as: a cross-section of a long strip, an ellipse, a circle, etc. When the extrusion hole 31 is a single hole, the raw materials flowing out of each single-color extrusion cavity 411 can enter the extrusion hole 31 in a side-by-side manner to produce multi-color candy bars.

[0027] When the extrusion mechanism is working, different colors of sugar raw materials are added into each raw material cavity 2. Since the feed holes of the single-color extrusion cavity 411 of the extrusion cavity 41 are connected to the raw material cavity 2 one by one, the raw materials of each raw material cavity 2 enter the corresponding single-color extrusion cavity 411 of each extrusion cavity 41 through the feed holes of the single-color extrusion cavity 411, that is, a single-color extrusion cavity 411 of the extrusion cavity 41 enters a single-color extrusion cavity 411 of the extrusion cavity 41. After the sugar raw materials enter the single-color extrusion cavity 411, the driving mechanism drives the active extrusion shaft 42 to rotate around its own axis, so that the active gear 44 meshes with the driven gear 45, and then the gear pump formed by the active gear 44 and the driven gear 45 pumps out the syrup raw materials of various colors from the discharge holes of each single-color extrusion cavity 411, providing extrusion pressure for the extrusion molding of the extrusion nozzle 3. The pumped sugar raw materials finally enter the extrusion hole 31 of the corresponding extrusion nozzle 3, and are extruded and molded through the extrusion hole 31 to form sugar bars with multiple colors.

[0028] The multi-color sugar bar extrusion mechanism of the utility model is provided with an extrusion cavity 41 in the extrusion block 4, which is divided into a plurality of single-color extrusion cavities 411, and an active extrusion shaft 42 and a passive extrusion shaft 43 passing through each of the single-color extrusion cavities 411 are provided in the extrusion cavity 41. The extrusion power of the sugar-making raw material is provided by the meshing of an active gear 44 and a passive gear 45 which are arranged in the single-color extrusion cavity 411 and respectively mounted on the active extrusion shaft 42 and the passive extrusion shaft 43. The extrusion mechanism which provides the extrusion power for the single-color extrusion cavity 411 of each extrusion cavity is formed by a gear pump structure and is driven by the same active extrusion shaft 42. The width of the single-color extrusion cavity 411 only needs to be slightly thicker than the thickness of the gear. This structure can make the structure of the entire extrusion mechanism more compact and reduce space occupation, and is convenient for arranging any number of extrusion cavities and single-color extrusion cavities as needed. It is particularly suitable for producing multi-color sugar bars with three colors or more and arranging a plurality of extrusion nozzles in a production line, and is conducive to ensuring the discharging synchronization of sugar-making raw materials of different colors from the same extrusion nozzle, thereby ensuring product quality.

[0029] When the extrusion hole 31 is a single hole, the sugar-making raw materials of various colors are extruded into one extrusion hole, which inevitably causes the sugar-making raw materials of various colors to mix in the extrusion hole 31 during extrusion molding, especially at the junction of two adjacent color raw materials, which will affect the product quality. Figure 8 As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, the extrusion nozzle 3 is provided with at least two extrusion holes 31, and the extrusion holes 31 correspond one-to-one with the single-color extrusion cavity 411 in the extrusion cavity 41 corresponding to the extrusion nozzle 3, that is, the number is equal, the extrusion holes 31 are arranged in sequence, and a bonding spacing is provided between adjacent extrusion holes 31, so that the sugar strips extruded from adjacent extrusion holes 31 can be bonded together after flowing out of the extrusion holes, and the extrusion holes 31 are connected one-to-one with the discharge holes of the corresponding single-color extrusion cavity. Specifically, the extrusion holes 31 can be arranged adjacent to each other in a straight line (see Figure 8 ), or they can be arranged adjacent to each other along a curve, such as: arranged adjacent to each other along an arc to form a ring. The larger the aperture of the extrusion hole 31, the larger the bonding spacing between adjacent extrusion holes 31 can be, and the specific spacing can be obtained through experiments. Under normal circumstances, the bonding spacing between adjacent extrusion holes 31 is generally 1 to 5MM. The above structure can avoid the mixing of different colored syrups during extrusion molding at the extrusion nozzle 3 because the extrusion holes of different colors of sugar-making raw materials are set separately, and the syrup extruded from the extrusion hole will become thicker when it flows out of the extrusion hole 31. Because the extrusion holes 31 are arranged adjacent to each other, adjacent sugar strips can be adhered to each other, thereby forming multi-color sugar strips without color mixing. Figure 8 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the extrusion nozzle 3 used for producing three-color sugar.

[0030] In some embodiments, the extrusion nozzle is fixed on the extrusion block 4. In the embodiment of the utility model, Figure 8 As shown, the extrusion nozzle 3 is inserted into the extrusion block 4 and rotates with the extrusion block 4. In order to facilitate feeding, the outer circumference of the extrusion nozzle 3 is provided with a plurality of annular feed grooves 32 corresponding to the extrusion holes 31 of the extrusion nozzle 3. The groove wall of the feed groove 32 is sealed with the extrusion block 4 through a sealing ring 33. One end of the extrusion hole 31 is connected with the corresponding feed groove 32, and the discharge hole of the single-color extrusion cavity 411 is connected with the corresponding extrusion hole 31 through the feed groove 32. The extrusion nozzle 3 is inserted into the extrusion block 4 and rotates with the extrusion block 4. In this way, the extrusion nozzle 3 can be driven to rotate by a rotating mechanism to produce a spiral (twisted) multi-color candy bar.

[0031] In the present invention, the raw material chamber 2 can be integrated into the extrusion block 4 to further make the mechanism structure compact.

[0032] The extrusion block 4 and the raw material chamber 2 can be arranged arbitrarily. In the present invention, it is best that the extrusion chamber 41 is arranged horizontally, and the raw material chamber 2 is horizontally arranged on one side of the extrusion chamber 41, and arranged in sequence from top to bottom. Figure 7 As shown, the above structure can make the structure of the extrusion mechanism more compact, especially when the raw material cavity 2 and the extrusion cavity 41 are integrated in the same extrusion block 4, the above structure facilitates the communication between the single-color extrusion cavity 411 in the extrusion cavity 41 and the corresponding raw material cavity 2. That is, it is more convenient to drill a hole on the extrusion block 4 to form a connecting channel 412 that connects the single-color extrusion cavity 411 with the corresponding raw material cavity 2.

[0033] In order to conveniently drive the active extrusion shaft 42, the extrusion mechanism is provided with a driving mechanism 5 for driving the active extrusion shaft 42 to rotate around its own axis. The driving mechanism 5 is generally a motor.
