Therefore, it is of great significance to continuously promote the technological innovation and optimization of this equipment.

[0003] Existing automated gel candy forming devices typically employ either mold forming or casting forming. The mold forming structure uses a lifting component to press the mold plate into the starch to form a candy model, followed by the pouring of the syrup. The casting forming structure, on the other hand, pours the syrup from the hopper into the mold via a pouring head to complete the forming process. These devices utilize a transmission device to transfer the mold or mold plate, and complete the basic forming operation through simple mechanical control.

[0004] However, existing automatic gel candy forming devices have significant shortcomings in mold replacement. Traditional mold replacement methods are complex, and when producing gel candies of different shapes and sizes, operators need to spend a lot of time disassembling and installing molds. This not only affects production efficiency, but frequent disassembly can also cause wear and tear on the molds and other parts of the device, increasing equipment maintenance costs and making it difficult to meet the market's demand for rapid production of diversified products. Therefore, an automatic gel candy forming device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic gel candy forming device, which aims to improve the problems of existing automatic gel candy forming devices, such as complex and time-consuming mold replacement process, easy wear and tear on parts, and difficulty in meeting the needs of rapid production of diversified products.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model is provided: an automatic gel candy forming device, including a conveyor belt 1, a mold 2 slidably connected inside the conveyor belt 1, the mold 2 is used to shape the candy, a sugar gum storage tank 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the conveyor belt 1, the sugar gum storage tank 3 is used to store sugar gum, and a disassembly component is provided on the outer wall of the mold 2, the disassembly component is used to facilitate the user to quickly change different molds 2.

[0033] The disassembly assembly includes a fixing plate 4, one side of which is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conveyor belt 1. The fixing plate 4 provides a stable connection and support for the disassembly assembly. A mold 2 is slidably connected inside the fixing plate 4. A connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 4, and a connecting ring 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 5. A sliding post 7 is slidably connected inside the connecting ring 6, and a locking post 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding post 7. Both the fixing plate 4 and the mold 2 have slots 9 inside. The locking post 8 engages with the slots 9, allowing for quick locking and unlocking of the disassembly assembly, providing convenience for users. For ease of operation, a pull ring 10 made of rubber is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 7. Its function is to facilitate the user to quickly drive the disassembly component to move, and at the same time, the rubber material increases the friction with the user's hand, thereby providing a comfortable user experience. A spring 11 is set on the outer wall of the sliding column 7. The function of the spring 11 is to provide elastic restoring force for the disassembly component, so that the component can quickly return to its original position after movement. One end of the spring 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting ring 6, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the pull ring 10. A stirring component is set inside the sugar gum storage tank 3. The function of the stirring component is to prevent the sugar gum from solidifying in layers.

[0034] Specifically, when it is necessary to frequently switch between producing gel candies of different shapes and specifications, or when mold 2 needs to be replaced promptly due to damage or wear to reduce downtime, and to avoid the time-consuming and easily damaged issues associated with traditional manual mold 2 replacement, the gelatin is first stored in a gelatin storage tank 3. The storage tank 3 uses a heating ring 13 to ensure the gelatin temperature remains within a suitable range, preventing solidification or delamination. The heating ring 13 surrounds the outer wall of the storage tank 3, ensuring the gelatin maintains its fluidity and stability during storage, thus preventing solidification or delamination. During the process, sedimentation or adhesion may occur. When the sugar syrup is needed, it is poured into the mold 2 through the pouring head 19. In this process, the shape of the mold 2 determines the appearance of the candy. In order to meet production needs and be able to quickly switch between different shapes of candy mold 2, the user only needs to pull the pull ring 10. The pulling force causes the sliding column 7 to slide inside the connecting ring 6. The movement of the sliding column 7 will cause the locking column 8 to disengage from the slot 9, thereby unlocking the mold 2. After unlocking, the user can easily remove the mold 2 from the fixing plate 4 and quickly replace it with the new mold 2 required.

[0035] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The stirring assembly includes a fixed frame 12 and a heating ring 13. One side of the fixed frame 12 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the syrup storage tank 3. The fixed frame 12 provides stable support and connection for the motor 14, ensuring its stability during operation. The outer wall of the heating ring 13 is fixedly connected to the inside of the syrup storage tank 3. The heating ring 13 ensures that the syrup storage tank 3 is always maintained at a suitable temperature, thus ensuring the fluidity of the syrup within the tank and preventing solidification. The motor 14 is fixedly connected inside the fixed frame 12, and a rotating shaft 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 14. A fixed rod 16 is fixedly connected inside the rotating shaft 15. Scrapers 17 are fixedly connected to both ends of the fixed rod 16. The function of the scrapers 17 is to scrape off the residual sugar glue on the inner wall of the sugar glue storage tank 3, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the inner wall of the sugar glue storage tank 3. The scrapers 17 are made of rubber. One side of the scrapers 17 is in contact with the inner wall of the sugar glue storage tank 3. Multiple stirring blades 20 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 15. Each stirring blade 20 has a groove 18 inside. The function of the groove 18 is to increase the flow of sugar glue, so that the stirring can be more uniform. Multiple pouring heads 19 are fixedly connected inside the sugar glue storage tank 3.

[0036] Specifically, during the storage and processing of syrup, the syrup in the syrup storage tank 3 needs to be constantly stirred and cleaned to prevent sedimentation or solidification. The motor 14 drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate. While the rotating shaft 15 is rotating, it also drives the scraper 17 to rub against the inner wall of the syrup storage tank 3. The scraper 17 removes the residual syrup on the inner wall of the syrup storage tank 3, ensuring that the syrup is not wasted and maintains its fluidity. At the same time, the rotating shaft 15 also drives multiple stirring blades 20 to move synchronously. The grooves 18 opened in the stirring blades 20 enhance the fluidity of the syrup, ensuring that the syrup is mixed evenly and preventing the syrup from stratifying and settling during storage, thus maintaining its optimal use condition.

[0037] Working principle: When using this automatic gel candy forming device, the gelatin is first poured into the gelatin storage tank 3, and then poured into the mold 2 through the pouring head 19. The mold 2 shapes the candy. When different shapes of candy need to be produced and the mold 2 needs to be changed quickly, the operator pulls the pull ring 10. Under the pulling force, the sliding column 7 will slide inside the connecting ring 6. The sliding of the sliding column 7 further disengages the locking column 8 from the slot 9, thereby achieving the unlocking effect. After unlocking, the operator can directly pull the mold 2 to make it slide inside the fixed plate 4, thereby achieving the effect of quick disassembly and replacement of the mold 2. While the gelatin is still inside the gelatin storage tank 3, to prevent the gelatin from being... Layered solidification occurs inside the syrup storage tank 3. The heating ring 13 ensures that the internal temperature of the syrup storage tank 3 is always kept within a suitable temperature range to prevent the syrup from solidifying. The output of the motor 14 drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate. As the rotating shaft 15 rotates, it further drives the scraper 17 to scrape against the inner wall of the syrup storage tank 3. The friction between the scraper 17 and the inner wall of the syrup storage tank 3 cleans the residual syrup from the inner wall of the syrup storage tank 3. At the same time as the rotating shaft 15 rotates, it also drives multiple stirring blades 20 to move synchronously. The grooves 18 opened inside the stirring blades 20 can increase the fluidity of the syrup inside the syrup storage tank 3, thereby preventing it from layering, solidifying, and settling inside the syrup storage tank 3.

[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
