[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] Embodiment, this embodiment provides a candy cutting device, including a knife seat 1 with a cutting opening downwardly opened and a cutting blade 2 that can be rotatably installed in the cutting opening for cutting operation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the slitting blade 2 is a quarter-circular structure, and a blade is provided at the end of the slitting blade 2 in the rotating direction. Support rods 21 pointing to the center of the circle are fixed at both ends of the inner wall of the end of the slitting blade 2 away from the blade. At the same time, a motor is provided on the outer wall of the knife seat 1, and the output end of the motor passes through the side wall of the knife seat 1 and is connected to one of the support rods 21, so as to provide power for the support rod 21 to link the slitting blade 2 to perform circular cutting motion.

[0023] At the same time, an inclined plate 11 for supporting the candy to be cut is provided between the side walls on both sides of the incision. The height of the end of the inclined plate 11 close to the cutting blade 2 is lower than the height of the end away from the cutting blade 2. The cutting blade 2 spans between the side walls on both sides of the incision. The cutting blade 2 performs cutting action in a circular trajectory in the incision. After cutting, the candy has a tendency to move in the same direction as the cutting blade 2, generating centrifugal force. The candy after cutting adheres to the blade position due to its own viscosity, and will also be thrown off due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the cutting blade 2, avoiding the phenomenon of sticking to the blade, without manual cleaning, and improving the cutting efficiency. Generally, the rotation speed of the cutting blade 2 is relatively fast. When the blade of the cutting blade 2 rotates to contact the candy cutting position, a certain rotational dynamic potential energy is generated, which enhances the cutting speed of the blade for cutting the candy, so that the cutting blade 2 can cut the candy at a faster speed. Before the candy has time to fall off, the cutting blade 2 has already rotated away from the candy after cutting, which minimizes the situation that the candy sticks to the blade after cutting. Different from the existing blades that perform reciprocating cutting motion in the vertical direction, the slitting blade 2 performs a circular cutting motion, which can generate a certain centrifugal force after slitting due to the circular motion trajectory. The advantage of this is that it avoids the situation where a large amount of cut candies are piled up in the same position, which is not conducive to block packaging.

[0024] In this embodiment, the end of the inclined plate 11 close to the slitting blade 2 is an arc-shaped structure, and the arc-shaped structure is rotated and fitted with the side wall of the cutting edge of the slitting blade 2, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cutting blade 2 accurately cuts along the outer side of the end of the inclined plate 11, that is, it is ensured that the part of the candy to be cut that extends out of the inclined plate 11 can be completely cut off.

[0025] In order to further improve the candy separation effect after cutting, a leakage hole 22 is opened on the cutting blade 2. Figure 4 As shown, the slitting blade 2 cuts the candy in a circular manner. Since the slitting blade 2 is a quarter-circular structure, some of the candy will inevitably fall on the inner wall of the slitting blade 2. As the slitting blade 2 rotates, the cut candy will roll along the inner wall of the slitting blade 2 to the leakage hole 22 and fall from the leakage hole 22.

[0026] At the same time, if Figure 5 As shown, some of the candies will fall on the inner wall of the slitting blade 2. The candies roll on the inner wall of the rotating slitting blade 2, but since the slitting blade 2 rotates relatively quickly, some of the candies will roll over the leakage hole 22 at a faster speed and will not fall. For this reason, a material stripping plate 23 is provided at the edge of one end of the leakage hole 22, which is located on the inner wall of the slitting blade 2 and away from the blade. The candies that cross the leakage hole 22 too quickly will hit the material stripping plate 23, and the side wall of the material stripping plate 23 will block the candies at a position directly opposite the leakage hole 22, thereby effectively guiding the candies out of the leakage hole 22.

[0027] In addition, it also includes a blocking rod 3 on the inner side of the annular track formed by the rotation and cutting of the cutting blade 2, and an adjustment gap is provided between the radial side wall of the blocking rod 3 and the end of the inclined plate 11 for adjusting the length of the cut candy. The blocking rod 3 can be adjusted relative to the inclined plate 11. The bottom wall of the blocking rod 3 is not lower than the plane where the upper end surface of the inclined plate 11 is located. The side wall of the blocking rod 3 is used as a limit reference after the candy extends out of the inclined plate 11, that is, the length of the candy cut is the distance between the side wall of the blocking rod 3 and the end of the inclined plate 11. By adjusting the distance between the blocking rod 3 and the inclined plate 11, the candy cutting length can be adjusted to meet the actual cutting needs. In addition, the adjustment range of the blocking rod 3 is limited to the circular structure radius formed by the cutting motion of the cutting blade 2, that is to say, the adjustment span of the blocking rod 3 cannot exceed the circular radius formed by the cutting motion of the cutting blade 2. The length of the general candy will not be too long, mostly within the range of 1-5cm, so the adjustment span of the blocking rod 3 can be within the above range.

[0028] The bottom wall of the inclined plate 11 is provided with an adjustment structure, which is used to adjust the position of the blocking rod 3 relative to the inclined plate 11. The adjustment structure includes a guide seat 1 41 and a guide seat 2 42 on the side wall of the knife seat 1, a threaded rod 4 threadedly connected to the guide seat 1 41, and an L-shaped rod 31 slidably plugged with the guide seat 2 42. The threaded rod 4 is rotatably connected to the L-shaped rod 31, and the end of the L-shaped rod 31 passes through the guide seat 2 42 and is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of one end of the blocking rod 3 extending out of the side wall of the knife seat 1. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a sliding through hole for adjusting the blocking rod 3 is opened on the side wall of the knife seat 1. The threaded rod 4 is rotated to adjust the position of the threaded rod 4 along the axial direction of the guide seat 1 41, thereby driving the L-shaped rod 31 to slide and adjust the position along the axial direction of the guide seat 2 42, that is, adjusting the position of the blocking rod 3 relative to the inclined plate 11 along the sliding through hole to meet the actual demand for the candy cutting length.

[0029] Furthermore, a transmission component for receiving the cut candies is provided in the lower space of the slit, and the cut candies are horizontally transmitted out of the slit by the transmission component to enter the subsequent processing steps. Specifically, the transmission component includes a transmission belt 5 with one end extending out of the slit and a main shaft 51 wound around the inner side walls of the two free ends of the transmission belt 5 for driving the transmission belt 5 to transmit in one direction. After slitting, a motor is provided inside to provide power to one of the main shafts 51, and the other main shaft 51 rotates in coordination to drive the transmission belt 5 to transmit the cut candies in one direction.

[0030] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
