Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of soft candy production, in particular to a granulating device for soft candy production. Background Art

[0002] Soft candy is made of sugar and starch syrup as the main raw materials, with agar, modified starch, gelatin and pectin as coagulants, and is made through processes such as boiling and molding. It is a candy with high moisture content and soft texture. The soft candy granulator is a device that can process soft candy into granules. The soft candy granulator is the most common equipment in the field of soft candy processing.

[0003] Existing soft candy granulation devices are basically roller cutter granulators. Since soft candy has a high moisture content, a soft texture and is very sticky, the soft candy granulator often causes the soft candy to stick to the blade of the device during the soft candy processing, thereby affecting the blade cutting the soft candy, reducing the working efficiency of the equipment to a certain extent, and greatly increasing the difficulty of soft candy cutting. In addition, the soft candy granulation device can only cut particles of the same size and cannot be diversified. After the soft candy is cut, a corresponding sugar spreading machine must be equipped, which makes the soft candy production cost high and the process very complicated. In view of this, in order to solve this technical problem, the present application proposes a granulation device for soft candy production. Utility Model Content

The middle end of the support plate 10 is rotatably connected to a pinion 8. The other end of the connecting rod 9 is sleeved on the rear end of the lower pressure plate 4. The right side of the rear end of the support plate 10 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 12. The front end of the rotating shaft 12 is fixedly connected to a large gear 11. The middle end of the rotating shaft 12 is rotatably connected to the inside of the support plate 10. A slide groove 28 is provided at the middle end of the connecting rod 9. A slider 7 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the front end of the pinion 8, and the slider 7 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 28. The small gear 8 rotates, causing the slider 1 7 to slide in the slide groove 28, and the slider 2 20 to slide in the slide rail 19, driving the lower pressure plate 4 to press the blade 6 downward. The blade 6 is connected to the slider 3 25 and is slidably connected to the knife seat 5 to cut the soft candy on the conveyor belt. When the slider 20 drives the lower pressure plate 4 to rise, the slider 3 25 is lifted upward due to the action of the spring 26, so that the blade 6 scrapes off the adhesive attached when cutting the soft candy through the scraper 16, so that the blade 6 remains smooth when cutting again and will not stick to the soft candy. The small gear 8 is meshed with the large gear 11, and the small gear 8 rotates to drive the large gear 11 to rotate. The large gear 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 12, and the rotating shaft 12 is connected to the bevel gear 13. The bevel gear 13 close to the rotating shaft 2 14 drives the roller 27 inside the sugar-spreading device housing 15 to rotate, so that the powdered sugar is sprinkled from the sugar-spreading port 23, saving the cost of cutting soft candy and eliminating a process of the sugar-spreading machine. The lower pressure plate 4 is separated from the blade 6 and the knife seat 5 for easy disassembly. By increasing or decreasing the distance and number between the knife seats 5, the size of the cut soft candy can be controlled. Through the integrated design of the soft candy cutting and sugar powder sprinkling processes, the two processes of soft candy cutting and sugar powder sprinkling can be performed at the same time, which greatly enhances the efficiency and practicality of the soft candy cutting machine, reduces the expenditure on redundant production machinery, and reduces production expenses.

[0026] The left side of the rear end of the support plate 10 is fixedly connected with a sugar-spreading device housing 15, and a sugar-spreading port 23 is provided at the lower end of the sugar-spreading device housing 15. A roller 27 is arranged inside the sugar-spreading device housing 15, and a second rotating shaft 14 is fixedly connected to the left end of the roller 27.

The powdered sugar can be uniformly and evenly sprinkled on the cut soft candies to avoid the soft candies from sticking to each other, thereby improving the efficiency of the machine.

[0027] The left side of the large gear 11 meshes with the small gear 8. The roller connected to the second shaft 14 is driven to rotate, and the slider 1 7 and the slider 2 20 are driven to slide in the second slide 28 and the slide 1 21, making the overall structure more stable and efficient, and the gear structure is convenient for short-distance transmission.

[0028] One end of the spring 26 is arranged at the bottom side of the slider 3 25, and one end of the spring 26 is arranged at the top of the scraper 16. The cutter can be reset promptly and effectively after cutting the soft candy, so that the attachment on the soft candy is scraped off by the scraper 16, and the cutter remains smooth, which is convenient for repeated soft candy cutting operations.

[0029] A motor 24 is installed on the top side of the side plate 18, and the driving end of the motor 24 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the pinion 8. The motor 24 drives the pinion 8 to rotate, so that the slider 1 7 slides in the slide groove 28, and the slider 20 slides in the slide rail 19, driving the lower pressing plate 4 to press the blade 6 down, and the pinion 8 is meshed and connected with the large gear 11. The rotation of the pinion 8 drives the large gear 11 to rotate, and the large gear 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 12, and the rotating shaft 12 is connected to the bevel gear 13. The bevel gear 13 close to the rotating shaft 2 14 drives the roller 27 inside the sugar-spreading device housing 15 to rotate.

[0030] A conveyor belt body 3 is provided on the bottom side of the support plate 10 for conveying and moving soft candies, so that the cutter can cut the soft candies more evenly, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency of the soft candy cutting machine.

The blade 6 is connected to the slider 3 25 and is slidably connected to the knife seat 5 to cut the soft candy on the conveyor belt body 3. When the slider 20 drives the lower pressure plate 4 to rise, the slider 3 25 is lifted upward due to the action of the spring 26, so that the blade 6 scrapes off the adhesive attached when cutting the soft candy through the scraper 16, so that the blade 6 remains smooth when cutting again and will not stick to the soft candy. The pinion 8 is meshed with the large gear 11, and the rotation of the pinion 8 drives the large gear 11 to rotate. The large gear 11 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 12, and the rotating shaft 12 is connected to the bevel gear 13. The bevel gear 13 close to the rotating shaft 2 14 drives the roller 27 inside the sugar sprinkling device housing 15 to rotate, so that the powdered sugar is sprinkled from the sugar sprinkling port 23. The lower pressing plate 4 is separated from the blade 6 and the knife holder 5 for easy disassembly. By increasing or decreasing the distance and number between the knife holders 5, the size of the cut soft candy can be controlled. Through the integrated design of the soft candy cutting and powdering process, an efficient and useful soft candy detachable cutting device can be achieved.
