Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a precise tablet pressing mechanism for candy production. Background Art

[0002] The tableting process in candy production is a method of making sugar raw materials into sheet candy through a specific processing flow. The process generally includes several steps of mixing, heating, molding and cooling. In the mixing stage, powdered sugar, spices and other additives are fully stirred and evenly mixed. The subsequent heating stage usually involves heating the mixture at high temperature to melt the sugar and fully combine it with other ingredients. Then, a special tablet press is used to compact the heated mixture to form a sheet product of the desired shape. Finally, the sheet candy is cooled and solidified to ensure the stability of its shape and taste. The tablet press is a crucial equipment in this process, usually composed of a feeding system, a pressing system and a discharging system. They can produce uniform and consistent thickness sheet products by feeding the mixed syrup or powder material into the pressing mold and molding it under high pressure. The design and technical level of the tablet press directly affect the final quality and production efficiency of the candy. By adjusting parameters such as pressing force, temperature and time, producers can obtain tablet candies with different tastes and appearances, which is also a reflection of the flexibility and diversity of the process. This kind of tablet candy is not only easy to store and transport, but also deeply loved by consumers because of its unique taste and appearance.

[0032] In this embodiment: when the first motor 209 is started, the first motor 209 drives the threaded rod 208 to rotate, so that the threaded rod 208 can drive the connecting plate 207 to move up and down, so that the connecting plate 207 can drive the upper roller assembly 3 to move upward, thereby adjusting the distance between the two roller assemblies 3. When the second motor 211 is started, the second motor 211 drives the rotating rod 202 to rotate, and the rotating rod 202 drives the first transverse bevel gear 203 to rotate, and the first transverse bevel gear 203 drives the limiting slide bar 204 to rotate.

When the roller 301 rotates, the first rubber wheel 304 drives the second rubber wheel 404 to rotate, so that the second rubber wheel 404 drives the reciprocating screw rod 403 to rotate, so that the slide groove 405 prompts the guide block 502 to move, and finally the reciprocating movement of the sliding assembly 5 is realized, and the cleaning of the roller 301 is completed.

[0042] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
