Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of candy production tableting technology, and relates to a tableting device for candy production. Background Technology

[0002] Compressed candy, also known as powdered candy or slab candy, is often called soft drink candy. It is a mixture primarily composed of refined sugar powder, with added fillers such as milk powder and flavorings, and binders such as starch syrup, dextrin, and gelatin, granulated and compressed into tablets. It does not require heating or cooking, a process known as cold processing. Currently, tablet production requires a tablet press. Existing tablet presses extrude the candy powder into tablets, which then fall into a discharge trough on one side of the press. Because the tablets are made from candy powder, a large amount of powder easily accumulates on the surface of the discharge plate as the tablets slide. With a wide variety of flavors available on the market, if the powder residue from the previous batch is not cleaned promptly when a new flavor is produced, it can adhere to the surface of the tablets, potentially causing flavor transfer and reducing the overall quality of the compressed candy.

[0003] Therefore, this utility model provides a tableting device for candy production, which solves the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model discloses a tableting device for candy production. The technical solution adopted is as follows: A tableting machine body is provided. An inclined discharge trough is formed on the right side wall of the tableting machine body. The inclined discharge trough is a rectangular shell. A rectangular notch is formed in the middle part from the left end to the right end of its upper side wall. A baffle insertion port is formed vertically downward on the upper side wall of the trough to the right of the rectangular notch. An L-shaped baffle is movably inserted into the baffle insertion port. The upper horizontal arm of the L-shaped baffle is fixedly connected to the lower end of the telescopic shaft of an electric telescopic rod. The electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on the left side wall of the tableting machine body. A cleaning mechanism is movably arranged in the inclined discharge trough. The mechanism includes a U-shaped air pipe, the middle part of which is fixedly connected to an L-shaped air inlet pipe. The vertical tube of the L-shaped air inlet pipe passes through the rectangular notch and is movably inserted into the horizontal arm of the L-shaped moving block. A spring is fitted on the air inlet pipe at the top of the L-shaped moving block. The front end of the horizontal tube of the L-shaped air inlet pipe is connected to a flexible air guide. The lower end of the flexible air guide is fixedly connected to the exhaust port of a solenoid valve installed on the front and rear side walls of the L-shaped moving block. A fixing ear is also fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the L-shaped moving block. A hook is movably inserted into the fixing ear. The lower end of the L-shaped moving block is fixedly installed on a drive mechanism. The drive mechanism is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the inclined discharge trough.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the front and rear width of the L-shaped baffle is 1-2 mm smaller than the distance between the front and rear inner walls of the inclined discharge chute.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom end of the L-shaped baffle is an inclined surface, which matches the bottom inner wall of the inclined discharge trough. This design ensures that after the L-shaped baffle is inserted into the inclined discharge trough, it seals and isolates the inclined discharge trough from the tablet press body on the right side, preventing sugar powder from flying into the tablet press body and causing secondary pollution when cleaning the sugar powder in the inclined discharge trough.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the two ends of the U-shaped air tube are closed, and several air nozzles are evenly opened on its front, rear and lower side walls; by adopting...

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a guide ridge is fixedly provided on the rear side wall of the vertical pipe of the L-shaped air inlet pipe; by using the guide ridge, it can be ensured that the U-shaped air pipe is not easily twisted, so that its air nozzle can be directly facing the front and rear inner side walls and inner bottom of the inclined discharge trough, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a lead screw, the left and right ends of which are fixedly connected to the inclined discharge trough by means of a lead screw fixing sleeve, the right end of the lead screw is fixedly connected to a motor installed on the right end of the front side wall of the inclined discharge trough, and the upper part of the slider is fixedly connected to the lower end of the vertical arm of the L-shaped moving block.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a U-shaped air pipe that can move back and forth along its inner wall in the inclined discharge trough, and in conjunction with an external air source, high-pressure gas can be blown through the nozzle of the U-shaped air pipe toward the inner wall of the inclined discharge trough, so as to quickly remove the powder residue of the previous batch of candy tablets that is stuck on the inner wall of the inclined discharge trough, thereby avoiding cross-contamination of flavors when producing different batches of candy, and thus effectively improving the quality of candy tablet production.

A rectangular notch 21 is formed on the upper side wall from the left end to the middle of the right end. A baffle insertion port 22 is formed vertically downward on the upper side wall of the groove to the right of the rectangular notch 21. An L-shaped baffle 3 is movably inserted into the baffle insertion port 22. The front-to-back width of the L-shaped baffle 3 is 1-2 mm smaller than the distance between the front and back inner side walls of the inclined discharge groove 2. The bottom end of the L-shaped baffle 3 is an inclined surface, which matches the inner side wall of the bottom of the inclined discharge trough 2. The upper horizontal arm of the L-shaped baffle 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the telescopic shaft of the electric telescopic rod 4. The electric telescopic rod 4 is fixedly installed on the left side wall of the tablet press body 1. A cleaning mechanism 5 is movably arranged in the inclined discharge trough 2. The cleaning mechanism 5 includes a U-shaped air pipe 51. Both ends of the U-shaped air pipe 51 are closed, and several air nozzles 511 are evenly opened on its front, rear, and lower side walls. The middle part of the U-shaped air pipe 51 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped air inlet pipe 52. A guide rib 521 is fixedly provided on the rear side wall of the vertical tube of the L-shaped air intake pipe 52. The vertical tube of the L-shaped air intake pipe 52 passes through the rectangular notch 21 and is movably inserted into the horizontal arm of the L-shaped moving block 53. A spring 54 is fitted on the air intake pipe at the upper part of the L-shaped moving block 53. The front end of the horizontal tube of the L-shaped air intake pipe 52 is connected to a guide hose 55. The lower end of the guide hose 55 is fixedly connected to the exhaust port of the solenoid valve 56 installed on the front and rear side walls of the L-shaped moving block 53. A fixing ear 57 is also fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the L-shaped moving block 53. 7. An internal movable insert hook 58 is provided. The lower end of the L-shaped moving block 53 is fixedly installed on the drive mechanism 6. The drive mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the inclined discharge trough 2. The drive mechanism 6 includes a lead screw 61. The left and right ends of the lead screw 61 are respectively fixedly connected to the inclined discharge trough 2 through a fitted lead screw fixing sleeve 62.

Then, control the motor 63 to rotate regularly in both directions, causing the lead screw 61 to rotate in both directions, which in turn causes the slider 64 to move back and forth along the outer wall of the inclined discharge trough 2, thereby realizing the movement of the L-shaped moving block 53 along... The inclined discharge chute 2 moves back and forth. The solenoid valve 56, which is connected to an external air source, sends high-pressure gas through the air guide hose 55, the L-shaped air inlet pipe 52, and the U-shaped air pipe 51, and finally sprays it out at high speed through the jet nozzle 511. This quickly cleans the candy powder residue on the inner wall of the inclined discharge chute 2. After cleaning, the solenoid valve 56 is closed, and the motor 63 drives the lead screw 61 to rotate, causing the slider 64 to return to its original position. The L-shaped air inlet pipe 52 is pressed down to compress the spring 54. The hook 58 hanging on the upper end of the L-shaped air inlet pipe 52 is removed, and the L-shaped air inlet pipe 52 is released. The electric telescopic rod 4 is controlled to move the L-shaped baffle 3 upward, so that the inclined discharge chute 2 is unobstructed and the next batch of production can begin.
