Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of candy production equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic shaping and cutting device for granular candies. Background Technology
[0002] Swiss candy, known as the "ancestor of all soft candies," is a square-shaped candy. Its name comes from its resemblance to the Swiss flag and the similar pronunciation of "sweet." The production process typically involves cutting the candy, often using a candy cutter.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese utility model patent application number CN202322062036.X discloses a candy cutting device, including a frame, a support column at the lower end of the frame, a controller at the rear end of the upper surface of the frame, a start button and a stop button on the front and rear sides of the upper end of the controller, a feeding rack with a feeding hole on the right side of the upper end of the frame, a rotating mechanism at the left end of the feeding rack, a first motor at the rear end of the rotating mechanism, a crushing mechanism at the left end of the rotating mechanism, a first electric cylinder at the left end of the crushing mechanism, and a cutting mechanism at the rear end of the rotating mechanism. This utility model allows for the rotating feeding and cutting of cylindrical candies, preventing the difficulty in fixing or misalignment of cylindrical candies on traditional cutting machines, thus improving practicality. Furthermore, this utility model can knock off candies that are stuck together after cutting, improving stability.
[0004] For example, Chinese utility model patent application CN202222763854.8 discloses a quantitative cutting mechanism for a gel candy packaging machine, including an installation assembly. The installation assembly includes a lower housing, an upper housing, and a feeding box. The upper housing is fixedly installed on top of the lower housing. A sliding opening is provided on one inner wall of the upper housing, and a feeding port is provided on another inner wall. The feeding box is fixedly installed on one outer wall of the upper housing. The installation assembly is equipped with a pressing mechanism and a moving mechanism. The pressing mechanism is used to cut and divide the gel candy. The pressing mechanism includes a fixed box, a cylinder, a fixed plate, and five scraping components. The fixed box is located inside the upper housing. This utility model has the advantages of conveniently dividing gel candies evenly, controlling their size, and facilitating candy scraping.
[0005] While the existing candy cutting devices can meet basic production needs, they lack blocking components on both sides of the candy during cutting, which makes the candy prone to shifting. Furthermore, candies need to be cut into different lengths as required during processing, but the existing candy cutting devices are not suitable for cutting candies to a fixed length, thus reducing their ease of use.

[0010] Preferably, the output end of the cylinder is fixed with a placement frame, a drive motor is installed inside the placement frame, the input end of the drive motor is electrically connected to the output end of the control button, and the output end of the drive motor is fixed with a rotating shaft through a coupling, one end of the rotating shaft is fixed with a cutting blade, and the cutting blade extends to the bottom of the placement frame.
[0011] Preferably, the surface of the cutting table away from the L-shaped plate has an adjustment groove, and a toothed plate is provided inside the adjustment groove. The toothed plate and the adjustment groove slide against each other, and an adjustment plate is fixed to one end of the toothed plate. A gear is rotatably connected to the surface of the cutting table above the toothed plate, and the gear meshes with the toothed plate. A fastening bolt is threaded onto the surface of the cutting table on one side of the gear, and one end of the fastening bolt penetrates the cutting table and is pressed and fastened to the surface of the gear.
[0012] Preferably, both sides of the L-shaped plate are threaded with adjusting screws, and one end of the adjusting screw penetrates the L-shaped plate and is rotatably connected to the surface of the cutting table.

Then, the candy is pushed so that one end of the candy is in contact with the control button, realizing the function of cutting the candy to a fixed length. This improves the convenience of using the cutting device, making it more versatile and easier to use. Attached Figure Description
