[0021] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 In the embodiment of the granulation device of the utility model shown, the granulation device includes two flange drums 1 rotating in opposite directions. The flange drum 1 is provided with a circular through hole 101 coaxial therewith. Cold air or cold liquid can pass through the circular through hole 101 to cool the flange drum 1, so as to quickly cool the plant gel that has not been formed due to the high temperature, thereby preventing the plant gel from sticking.

[0023] The flange roller 1 includes a flange plate 11 and a flange neck 12. The outer wall of the flange neck 12 is provided with a forming ring 2 and a gear ring 3 which are coaxial and in contact with the flange neck 12; the inner walls of the forming ring 2 and the gear ring 3 are provided with spline teeth 102, and the spline teeth 102 can be embedded in the spline grooves 103 provided on the outer wall of the flange neck 12 along the axial direction of the flange roller 1; with such an arrangement, the forming ring 2, the gear ring 3 and the flange roller 1 can rotate coaxially and simultaneously, and the forming ring 2 with different forming grooves 201 on the outer wall can be replaced, as long as the forming ring 2 is ensured to be between the flange plate 11 and the gear ring 3.

[0024] The flange neck 12 is also provided with a through groove 104 which is parallel to the spline groove 103 and shorter than the spline groove 103. The through groove 104 penetrates the flange neck 12 in the radial direction of the flange neck 12. In this way, when cold air or cold liquid passes through the circular through hole 101, the cold air or cold liquid can directly contact the molding ring 2 through the through groove 104, thereby efficiently cooling the molding ring 2 and preventing the plant gel from sticking to the outer wall of the molding ring 2.

[0025] A through hole 105 penetrating the flange 11, the forming ring 2 and the gear ring 3 is provided along the axial direction of the flange drum 1, so that bolts can pass through the through hole 105 to fix the flange 11, the forming ring 2 and the gear ring 3 together; in this way, when the flange drum 1, the forming ring 2 and the gear ring 3 rotate at the same time, the three can be firmly connected and will not be separated; the through hole 105 on the gear ring 3 can be set as a threaded hole, and a nut can also be set on the side of the gear ring 3 away from the flange 11, and the nut and the threaded hole can achieve the same effect.

[0026] The gear rings 3 on the two flange rollers 1 are meshed with each other to achieve the purpose of making the two flange rollers 1 rotate in opposite directions.

[0027] When the plant gel that has not been shaped due to the high temperature passes between the two flange rollers 1, it will be extruded and shaped due to the molding groove 201 provided on the molding ring 2, and the specific molding shape is based on the pattern in the molding groove 201; because the molding ring 2 can be movably installed on the outer surface of the flange roller 1, different molding rings 2 can be replaced as needed to obtain candies with different molded particles; and, the central through hole 101 and the through groove 104 are provided, which can effectively cool the molding ring 2 and prevent the plant gel from sticking to the outer wall of the molding ring 2.

[0028] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the outer wall of the molding ring 2 is provided with a molding groove 201 , and the through hole 105 is provided between two adjacent molding grooves 201 ; in this way, the through hole 105 can be prevented from penetrating the molding groove 201 , so that the molding groove 201 avoids the through hole 105 .

[0029] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the molding groove 201 protrudes from the outer wall of the molding ring 2, and the molding grooves 201 on the two flange rollers 1 can be embedded; in this way, when the corresponding molding grooves 201 on the two flange rollers 1 are embedded, the plant gel that has not been solidified due to the high temperature can be extruded and formed in the space where the two molding grooves 201 are embedded, and the extruded candies can be separated, so that the candy granulation work can be completed efficiently.

[0030] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, a threaded hole 202 is provided on the inner wall of the molding ring 2 and between two adjacent molding grooves 201, and a bolt passes through the through groove 104 along the radial direction of the molding ring 2 and cooperates with the threaded hole 202; in this way, the molding ring 2 can be further reinforced in the radial direction and the molding ring 2 can be prevented from losing its roundness.

[0031] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, one of the flange rollers 1 is provided with a transmission gear 13 for connecting to a motor on the other end face of the flange plate 11 relative to the end face provided with the flange neck 12. The transmission gear 13 can be integrally formed with the flange roller 1 or fixedly connected by welding.

[0032] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the bolt passing through the through hole 105 uses a countersunk bolt to prevent the transmission gear 13 in the above embodiment and the transmission belt or transmission chain that may be used with the transmission gear 13 from being damaged by interference from the bolt.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the molding ring 2 is provided with multiple gaskets, between the flange 11 and the molding ring 2, between adjacent molding rings 2, and between the molding ring 2 and the gear ring 3; in this way, it can prevent the leakage of cold air or cold liquid when cold air or cold liquid passes through the circular through hole 101 and the through groove 104, thereby contaminating the candy.

[0034] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the gasket is a metal gasket. The use of a metal gasket allows the use of bolts with greater torque in the through hole 105, so that the axial connection between the flange 11 and the molding ring 2, between adjacent molding rings 2, and between the molding ring 2 and the gear ring 3 is tighter.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the spline groove 103 is arranged between two adjacent through grooves 104, and the spline teeth 102 are arranged corresponding to the spline groove 103; in this way, the spline groove 103 and the through groove 104 can be avoided from overlapping, and thus the leakage of cold air or cold liquid caused by the overlap of the spline groove 103 and the through groove 104 can be prevented.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
