Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food production, and in particular to a molding device for bar-shaped soft candies. Background Art

The connecting ear plate 122 is bonded and fixed to the first rigid plate 11, and an avoidance gap is provided between the bottom of the slot body 121 and the first rigid plate 11.

[0039] Reference Figures 4 to 6 The lifting mold 2 includes a second rigid plate 21 and a lifting column 22. A plurality of lifting columns 22 are provided. The plurality of lifting columns 22 are arranged in an array on the first rigid plate 11. The lifting columns 22 are arranged in the projection plane of the flexible member 12. The lifting columns 22 are used to extrude the flexible member 12. In this embodiment, a gap is provided between the lifting columns 22 and the flexible member 12 to reduce the influence of the lifting columns 22 on the molding mold 1.

[0040] In other embodiments, the lifting column 22 may also abut against the flexible member 12 to provide a certain support effect for the flexible member 12; thus, after the syrup is injected into the receiving groove 13, the deformation of the flexible member 12 can be reduced, thereby improving the molding stability of the strip-shaped soft candy.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , the connecting component 3 also includes a connecting rod 31, a spring 32, a first limit member 33 and a second limit member 34. The first rigid plate 11 and the second rigid plate 21 are both provided with a connecting hole for the connecting rod 31 to pass through, the spring 32 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting rod 31, and the spring 32 is arranged between the first rigid plate 11 and the second rigid plate 21. The first limit member 33 and the second limit member 34 are fixedly arranged at both ends of the connecting rod 31, the first limit member 33 is used to abut against the first rigid plate 11, and the second limit member 34 is used to abut against the second rigid plate 21. In the present embodiment, the first limit member 33 and the second limit member 34 are both steel rings, and the first limit member 33, the second limit member 34 are fixed to the connecting rod 31 by spot welding. In the present embodiment, the first rigid member and the second rigid member can both be made of stainless steel,

[0043] The implementation principle of a bar-shaped soft candy forming device in the embodiment of the present application is:

[0044] After the syrup is cooled and solidified into the bar-shaped soft candy 4 in the receiving groove 13 , the forming mold 1 can be tilted vertically or turned upside down to separate the bar-shaped soft candy 4 from the receiving groove 13 .

[0045] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 7If the strip of soft candy 4 is adhered to the side wall of the receiving groove 13, the staff can press the first rigid plate 11 to move the first rigid plate 11 toward the second rigid plate 21; thereby, the lifting column 22 on the second rigid plate 21 is used to squeeze the flexible member 12, so that the flexible member 12 bulges and deforms toward the strip of soft candy 4, thereby squeezing the strip of soft candy 4 out of the receiving groove 13, thereby facilitating the demoulding of the strip of soft candy.

[0046] In this embodiment, the lifting column 22 is a rubber block, the second rigid plate 21 is provided with a positioning groove 211, the lifting column 22 is inserted into the positioning groove 211, and the lifting column 22 is bonded and fixed to the first rigid plate 11. Therefore, when the lifting column 22 pushes the flexible member 12, the loss of the flexible member 12 can be reduced, and the service life of the molding device can be increased.

[0047] Meanwhile, during the syrup cooling process, the spring 32 provides a gap for gas flow between the first rigid plate 11 and the second rigid plate 21, so that when the molding device is stationary to cool the syrup, the cooling speed of the syrup can be increased, thereby shortening the production cycle of the soft candy bars.

[0048] Example 2

[0049] The difference between this embodiment 2 and embodiment 1 is that:

[0050] Reference Figure 8 , a plurality of heat dissipation grooves 111 are arranged in an array on one side of the first rigid plate 11 close to the second rigid plate 21, and the heat dissipation grooves 111 are arranged between the two receiving grooves 13; in the drawings of this specification, the heat dissipation grooves 111 are arranged between the two flexible parts 12. In addition, a gap is arranged between the heat dissipation grooves 111 and the receiving grooves 13, the length of the heat dissipation grooves 111 is greater than the length of the receiving grooves 13, and the projection area of ​​the heat dissipation grooves 111 covers the projection area of ​​the receiving grooves 13. By providing the heat dissipation grooves 111 on the first rigid plate 11, the heat dissipation effect of the first rigid plate 11 is improved, so as to improve the cooling efficiency of the syrup in the receiving grooves 13 and improve the production cycle of the strip soft candy.

[0051] Reference Figure 8 At the same time, a plurality of air holes 112 are provided on the side walls of the heat dissipation groove 111. And the diameter of the air holes 112 decreases from both sides to the middle direction of the first rigid plate 11. Air holes 112 for gas flow are provided on the side walls of the heat dissipation groove 111 to facilitate air flow to the middle area of ​​the first rigid plate 11, so as to improve the uniformity of syrup cooling on the first rigid plate 11. The diameter of the air holes 112 in the first rigid plate 11 is relatively small, so as to utilize the "canyon effect" to increase the flow rate of the gas when the air flows through the air holes 112 in the middle area of ​​the first rigid plate 11, so as to promote the circulation of the gas and further improve the cooling efficiency of the first rigid plate 11.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
