Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chocolate bar production, in particular to a cutting device used for chocolate bar production. Background Art

[0002] A chocolate bar, as the name suggests, is a bar-shaped food made with chocolate as the main ingredient. Nuts, dried fruits and other auxiliary ingredients are usually added. It is high in calories, rich in taste and easy to eat. In the automated production of chocolate bars, the hot-melt mixture of chocolate and other auxiliary ingredients needs to go through four processes on the production line after being unloaded, namely, cutting and shaping, chocolate coating, cooling and shaping, and unloading and packaging. Currently, in the production process of chocolate bars, chocolate is usually cut and shaped by manually pushing the chocolate for wire cutting, and then manually collecting and aligning it before changing the direction and putting it back on the cutting table for pushing. This method of manual pushing and collecting and aligning is relatively slow, which leads to an extension of the production cycle, a reduction in overall production efficiency, and difficulty in ensuring the accuracy and consistency of manual operations. Different operators may have differences in pushing force, cutting position, collecting and aligning angles, etc., which leads to unstable size, shape and quality of the chocolate bars. Therefore, the above problems need to be improved. Utility Model Content
