Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of candy molds, and more particularly to a candy forming mold and a candy forming machine. Background Art

[0002] Candies come in a wide variety of shapes, and casting is a common production method. This process is suitable for a wide range of candies, particularly those requiring specific shapes and delicate textures, such as hard candies and jelly candies. During the casting process, heated syrup is precisely poured into a pre-prepared mold. After cooling and solidifying, it is removed from the mold to achieve the candy's final shape.

[0003] Conventional technology requires custom molds of varying candy shapes, leading to high mold design and manufacturing costs. This cost is particularly high when candy manufacturers need to diversify their product offerings. This creates obstacles for small-batch or innovative candy production, limiting product diversity and production flexibility. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to address, to a certain extent, one of the technical problems in the related art. To this end, the present invention proposes a candy forming mold that utilizes a detachable mold core sleeve.

[0036] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention. Example

[0037] like Figure 1-10 As shown, in this embodiment, a candy forming mold is disclosed. The mold includes an upper mold and a lower mold. The upper mold and the lower mold are connected by a rotating connector 5 to achieve the opening and closing of the upper and lower molds. The mold includes a mold base and a mold core sleeve. Specifically, the upper mold and / or the lower mold includes a mold base and a mold core sleeve. The mold base and the mold core sleeve are detachably connected, and the mold base and the mold core sleeve are combined to form the molding surface of the upper mold and the molding surface of the lower mold. The mold core sleeve has a molding surface capable of molding candy. In some other embodiments, the mold base and the mold core sleeve are detachably connected, and the mold base and the mold core sleeve are combined to form the molding surface of the upper mold. The molding surface of the lower mold adopts a conventional design, that is, the molding surface contour is directly machined on the lower mold. The mold core sleeve has a molding surface capable of molding candy.

[0038] In candy production, the mold temperature primarily depends on the type of syrup and its process requirements. Generally, the syrup temperature during pouring and molding is typically between 120°C and 160°C. Different candy types, such as hard candies or soft candies, may have different temperature requirements. The mold, especially the core sleeve, must be made of a material that can withstand these temperatures without degradation or deformation. When using plastic core sleeves in candy molds, high-temperature-resistant plastics such as polycarbonate, polyetheretherketone, polyamide, polypropylene, and polytetrafluoroethylene are typically chosen. For higher temperature environments or more stringent requirements, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and silicone are alternatives. These materials can be selected based on the specific production process and mold design requirements, while meeting food safety standards, to ensure efficient and stable candy production.

[0039] Combine Figure 1-8As shown, in this embodiment, the candy mold adopts a one-mold three-cavity design, and each cavity has a cavity for molding multiple candies. This design effectively improves production efficiency, allowing multiple candies to be produced simultaneously during one injection process. Figure 9 As shown, in another embodiment, the mold adopts a one-mold-two-cavity structure or other one-mold-multiple-cavity structure. Figure 10 As shown, in other embodiments, the mold adopts a one-mold-one-cavity or other combination designs to meet the production needs and process requirements of different types of candies.

[0040] In the prior art, the upper and lower molds of the mold are machined to form the molding surface of the mold.
