Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gummy candy production technology, and in particular to a quick-release and quick-installation device for gummy candy molds. Background Technology

[0002] Soft candy is a type of functional candy that is soft, elastic, and chewy. It is mainly made of gelatin, syrup, and other raw materials. Through multiple processes, it is made into a beautiful and long-lasting solid candy with different shapes, textures, and flavors. It has elasticity and a chewy texture. Existing soft candy is usually made by pouring, molding at room temperature, and then demolding. Because soft candy has a certain degree of stickiness and needs to be cooled before it can be demolded smoothly, it is inconvenient to demold. To address this issue, a quick-release and quick-installation device for soft candy molds is proposed. This device can accelerate the cooling of the soft candy, facilitate timely demolding, and improve production efficiency.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application number 201922262831.7, which discloses a mold box for shaping gummy candies. The mold includes a feeding base plate, an upper moving mold, and a lower pressing mold. The upper end of the feeding base plate is connected to the lower pressing mold, the upper end of the lower pressing mold is connected to the upper moving mold, and the upper end of the upper moving mold is connected to a pressure plate. A guide telescopic rod is provided between the pressure plate and the feeding base plate, and a shaping mold assembly is provided between the upper moving mold and the lower pressing mold. The mold in the aforementioned document has the following drawback: it is not convenient to remove the gummy candies in a timely manner, resulting in reduced production efficiency.

The mold is made of copper and has a non-stick layer made of food-grade material on its top surface. Handles are located on both sides of the mold. Several forming grooves are formed according to the shape of the gummy candy, and through holes are provided at the bottom of each groove. A cooling groove containing coolant is located in the middle of the mold. Several connecting pillars are located at the bottom of the mold, and copper plates are installed at the connection points between the connecting pillars and the mold.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the cooling assembly includes a cooler, which is installed on the top of the support leg and electrically connected to the control module. Several cooling heads are installed on the top of the cooler, and the mold is installed on the cooler through a connecting column. The cooling heads are connected to the copper plate in the connecting column.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: the quick-release and quick-install device also includes a first cylinder, which is installed at the center of the cooler via an ear plate. The first cylinder is electrically connected to the control module. An installation plate is installed at the output end of the first cylinder, and several top posts are installed on the installation plate. The top posts are located in the through holes of the mold.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the quick-release and quick-install device also includes a rubber soft plug, and a plurality of rubber soft plugs are provided, which are installed at the connection between the top column and the mounting plate.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the casting assembly includes a second cylinder, which is mounted on a fixed frame and electrically connected to a control module.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the quick-release and quick-install device also includes a controller, which is slidably mounted on a slide rail, and the cooler is electrically connected to the controller via a data connection cable.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. After the candy is poured, the control module drives the cooler to cool the coolant in the mold, allowing the candy to solidify quickly and be easily removed. The cooling tank in the mold increases the cooling area, speeds up the cooling process, and improves production efficiency.

[0015] 2. When it is necessary to remove the gummy candy, the control module drives the first cylinder to lift the top column and separate the gummy candy from the mold, which can improve production efficiency. By setting a rubber soft stopper, it can prevent the gummy candy from blocking the mold's through hole during the pouring process and preventing the candy from flowing out.
