[0002] Gel candy is a kind of candy with soft taste and elasticity. In the production process of gel candy, pectin, syrup, fruit juice, gelatin and other raw materials are usually mixed and processed to form sheet-shaped gel candy, and the sheet-shaped gel candy is then cut by a cutting device to form block-shaped gel candy;

[0003] In the existing slitting device, its components generally include a slitting component for slitting the gel candy sheets into gel candy blocks and a transmission component for driving the gel candy blocks. After the slitting component slitting the sheet-shaped gel candy, the gel candy blocks fall into the transmission belt of the transmission component. However, during the falling process, due to the elastic effect of the gel candy blocks, they will bounce after falling into the transmission belt, and then jump into the edge of the transmission belt or jump out of the driving range of the transmission belt, so that the gel candy blocks cannot be driven by the transmission belt, resulting in that the gel candy blocks cannot be collected in the end, affecting the subsequent processing flow;

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing slitting device for producing jelly candies in view of the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following will be combined with the attached Figure 1-7 The utility model is further described with examples.

[0027] This embodiment discloses a cutting device for producing jelly candies.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-7A slitting device for producing gel candy, comprising a base 11, a transmission assembly, a slitting assembly, and a guide assembly, wherein the transmission assembly comprises a transmission belt 17, a transmission motor 18 for driving the transmission belt 17 for transmission, the transmission belt 17 is rotatably connected to the base 11, the fixed end of the transmission motor 18 is connected to the base 11, the rotating end of the transmission motor 18 is connected to the transmission belt 17, the slitting assembly comprises an upper cutting die 24, a lower cutting die 25, and a slitting cylinder 26 for driving the upper cutting die 24 to slide vertically, the fixed end of the slitting cylinder 26 is connected to the base 11, the sliding end of the slitting cylinder 26 is connected to the upper cutting die 24, the lower cutting die 25 is connected to the base 11, the sliding end of the slitting cylinder 26 drives the upper cutting die 24 to move vertically toward the lower cutting die 25 to cut the gel candy from sheet to block, the transmission belt 17, the lower cutting die 25, and the upper cutting die 24 are arranged in sequence from bottom to top, the guide assembly comprises a guide The guide plate 27 is connected to the base 11 and is located between the lower cutting die 25 and the transmission belt 17. The guide plate 27 is gradually inclined inward from top to bottom, so that the sheet-like gel candy is placed on the top surface of the lower cutting die 25, and then the sliding end of the slitting cylinder 26 drives the upper cutting die 24 to move toward the lower cutting die 25, so that the sheet-like gel candy is cut into block-like gel candy. In the process of the block-like gel candy falling onto the top surface of the transmission belt 17, part of the gel candy is received by the guide plate 27. Since the guide plate 27 is inclined, the block-like gel candy can fall onto the transmission belt 17 along the inclined direction of the guide plate 27. The guide plate 27 blocks the gel candy from falling onto the path of the edge of the transmission belt 17 or the path outside the range of the transmission belt 17, thereby reducing the risk of the gel candy jumping out of the transmission belt 17 or failing to be driven by the transmission belt 17, and improving the stability of the transmission belt 17 driving the gel candy.

[0029] Furthermore, in order to enhance the limiting effect of the guide plate 27 on the gel candy blocks, a limiting edge 29 is provided on a protruding upward side of the guide plate 27 of the present embodiment. The limiting edge 29 is arranged close to the side edge of the upward side of the guide plate 27. When the gel candy bounces on the guide plate 27, the limiting edge 29 blocks the gel candy blocks, thereby reducing the risk of the gel candy blocks jumping out of the guide plate 27 and enhancing the stability of the guiding effect of the guide plate 27 on the gel candy.

[0030] When the gel candy pieces fall into the guide plate 27, due to the stickiness of the gel candy pieces, the gel candy pieces are at risk of being adsorbed on the guide plate 27 and thus cannot be driven by the transmission belt 17. To solve the above problem, the guide plate 27 of this embodiment is rotatably connected to the base 11, and the base 11 is provided with an abutment block 12, which abuts against the downward side of the guide plate 27. The abutment block 12 is used to maintain the inclination angle of the guide plate 27 so that the guide plate 27 remains inclined. The transmission belt 17 is protruded with a lifting block 19 for lifting the guide plate 27. The position of the lifting block 19 corresponds to the position of the bottom of the guide plate 27, and the lifting block 19 follows the transmission belt. Specifically, the lifting block 19 lifts the guide plate 27. At the same time, the guide plate 27 will rotate upward only when the lifting block 19 passes the lower side of the guide plate 27. When the lifting block 19 leaves the guide plate 27, the guide plate 27 moves downward due to gravity and is abutted by the abutting block 12. As the transmission belt 17 rotates, the movement of the guide plate 27 presents a vibration effect of rising and falling, so that the gel candy pieces on the guide plate 27 can be forced to break away from the guide plate 27 and fall into the transmission belt 17.

[0031] In order to further improve the smoothness of the lifting block 19 when lifting the guide plate 27, the lower edge of the side of the guide plate 27 of this embodiment is provided with a first chamfer 28 and / or the side edge of the top surface of the lifting block 19 is provided with a second chamfer 20. When the lifting block 19 lifts the guide plate 27, its abutment movement is carried out along the first chamfer 28 and the second chamfer 20, thereby lifting the guide plate 27 and improving the smoothness of the guide plate 27 when being lifted.

[0032] Because the lifting block 19 and the guide plate 27 will have relative friction during the abutment process, in order to reduce the wear between the two, the top surface of the lifting block 19 and the side edge close to the guide plate 27 are provided with a third chamfer 21, and the downward side of the guide plate 27 is in surface contact with the third chamfer 21. Through the above arrangement, the degree of wear between the lifting block 19 and the guide plate 27 is reduced.

[0033] like Figure 1 , 7If some of the gel candy pieces fall into the guide plate 27 due to elasticity and then fall into the gap 33 between the side wall of the transmission belt 17 and the side wall of the base 11, the gel candy pieces located at the edge of the transmission belt 17 will not be able to be driven by the transmission belt 17. In order to reduce the possibility of the above-mentioned risk, the transmission belt 17 of this embodiment is protruded with a driving block 22 for driving the side edge of the transmission belt 17. The driving block 22 is arranged close to the side edge of the transmission belt 17. When the gel candy pieces fall into the edge of the transmission belt 17 and cannot be driven by the transmission belt 17, that is, the gel candy pieces are stuck, as the transmission belt 17 is driven, the driving block 22 abuts against the gel candy pieces at the edge of the transmission belt 17, thereby driving the gel candy pieces, thereby realizing the driving of the gel candy pieces.

[0034] In order to improve the smoothness of the driving block 22 when it abuts against the gel candy block, the front side of the driving block 22 of this embodiment is connected to a triangular block 23, and one corner of the triangular block 23 is arranged close to the side of the transmission belt 17. Through the above arrangement, when the driving block 22 abuts against the gel candy block, the gel candy block is driven along the side of the triangular block 23 of the driving block 22, thereby improving the smoothness of the abutment between the gel candy block and the driving block 22.

[0035] The vibration effect caused by the lifting of the guide plate 27 by the lifting block 19 has the disadvantage that the rotation angle of the guide plate 27 is small. If the viscosity between the gel candy block and the guide plate 27 is large, the vibration effect will cause the gel candy block to be at risk of not being able to separate from the guide plate 27, so that the gel candy block cannot be driven by the guide plate 27. To solve the above problem, the guide assembly of this embodiment includes a swing motor 30, the fixed end of the swing motor 30 is connected to the base 11, and the rotating end of the swing motor 30 is axially connected to the guide plate 27. When the lifting of the guide plate 27 by the lifting block 19 cannot separate the gel candy block from the guide plate 27, the swing motor 30 drives the guide plate 27 to rotate the guide plate 27 at a larger angle, and the rotation range is from the angle abutted by the abutment block 12 to the horizontal angle of the guide plate 27. By rotating the guide plate 27 at a larger angle by the swing motor 30, the possibility of the gel candy block separating from the guide plate 27 is further increased.

[0036] Since the present device is used for the production and processing of food, it is necessary to ensure that the guide plate 27 is non-toxic. Therefore, the guide plate 27 of the present embodiment is made of polypropylene. Polypropylene has many advantages in the manufacture of food processing equipment, including food safety, chemical stability, high temperature resistance, impact resistance, and light weight. Polypropylene, as an excellent food contact material, can improve the food safety of the gel candies made by the present device.

[0037] Furthermore, it also includes a collection basket 31 for collecting gel candy pieces and a positioning plate 32 for positioning the collection basket 31. The collection basket 31 is located on one side of the end of the transmission belt 17. As the transmission belt 17 rotates, the gel candy pieces can fall into the collection basket 31 and then be collected by the collection basket 31, thereby improving the self-protection level of the collection of the gel candy pieces. The positioning plate 32 is connected to the base 11.

[0038] Specifically, the base 11 includes a first base 13 and a second base 11. The positioning plate 32, the transmission belt 17, and the transmission motor 18 are connected to the first base 13. The second base 11 is provided with a bottom frame 14, a middle frame 15, and a top frame 16. The guide plate 27 is connected to the bottom frame 14. The lower cutting die 25 is connected to the middle frame 15. The top frame 16 is connected to the middle frame 15 and is located on the upper side of the middle frame 15. The fixed end of the slitting cylinder 26 is connected to the top frame 16.

[0039] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
