Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a candy tablet press. Background Technology
[0002] A candy pressing machine is a specialized piece of equipment used in candy production. It is mainly used to press prepared candy raw materials into candies of various specific shapes and sizes through molds. It applies pressure through mechanical devices to shape the candy raw materials within the mold, enabling efficient and precise candy production. This meets the diverse market demand for candies of different shapes and sizes and is widely used in various candy production enterprises, greatly improving the efficiency and quality of candy production.
[0003] A search revealed that publication number CN221284538U discloses a candy tableting machine, comprising a base plate and a top plate. A fixing ring is located below the top plate, and several push rods are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixing ring. A tableting plate is located below the fixing ring, and a motor is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate. The motor and the tableting plate are connected via a drive rod. The tableting plate has misalignment holes for allowing the push rods to move. A rotating plate is located below the tableting plate, and a mold groove is formed on the rotating rod. A feeding block is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating rod. The rotating plate, feeding block, chute, tablet discharge cylinder, and connecting plate form a component capable of multiple tableting operations and synchronous discharge. This allows the device to simultaneously remove a large number of pressed candy tablets, effectively separating multiple candy tablets from the feeding block for removal, thereby improving the efficiency of candy tablet production. Simultaneously, the pressed candy tablets are stored.
[0004] Existing technology suffers from poorly designed demolding mechanisms, causing candies to fail to detach from the mold in a timely manner and remain inside the mold. This not only affects the production cycle and lacks an automated, rapid response mechanism, but also results in slow and uneven demolding, which in turn affects candy quality and production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a candy tablet press, which aims to improve the problem of slow demolding action of existing tablet presses, which affects production efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a candy tablet press, comprising a base plate, a connecting frame fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a second motor fixedly connected to the rear side of the connecting frame, a rotating disk fixedly mounted at the output end of the second motor, a fixed column fixedly connected to the front side of the rotating disk, a lifting platform mounted on the front side of the connecting frame, a pressing component fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting platform, a lifting component mounted on the top of the base plate, a lifting column fixedly connected to the top of the lifting component, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the top of the lifting component, a sliding connection between the connecting plate and the connecting frame, the front end of the fixed column penetrating and extending to the front side of the connecting plate, and a cleaning component mounted on the right side of the connecting frame.
[0007] The above technical solution enables automated candy production. The second motor drives the rotating disk and fixed column to rotate, allowing the lifting platform and pressing component to automatically complete the pressing action, pressing the candy raw materials into shape without manual pressure, thus improving production efficiency. Through the cooperation of the fixed column and connecting plate, the lifting component and lifting column can be automatically driven to rise after pressing, realizing automatic demolding of the candy.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a first motor, which is fixedly connected to the connecting frame. A reciprocating lead screw is fixedly provided at the output end of the first motor. A moving part is threadedly connected to the surface of the reciprocating lead screw, and a scraper is fixedly connected to the left side of the moving part.
[0010] The above technical solution enables the first motor to drive the reciprocating screw to rotate, allowing the moving parts to move back and forth along the screw direction, thereby driving the scraper to move. After the candy raw materials are placed, the scraper can flatten them, ensuring that the raw materials are evenly distributed in the molding area. After the candy is pressed and demolded, the scraper can remove the residue remaining on the placement table and lifting column, keeping the working area of the equipment clean and preventing the accumulation of residue from affecting the subsequent production process.
[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0012] Preferably, a third slide rod is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting frame, and the third slide rod is slidably connected to the moving part.
[0013] The above technical solution achieves precise guidance of the moving part's trajectory, ensuring that the moving part can only move back and forth along the direction defined by the third slide bar under the drive of the reciprocating screw. This prevents the moving part from deviating or shaking due to the rotation of the screw, allowing the scraper to scrape the raw materials and clean the residue more stably and accurately, thereby ensuring the reliability and stability of the cleaning component's operation.
[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0015] Preferably, a placement platform is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and a circular groove is formed on the top of the placement platform.
[0016] The above technical solution enables the placement platform to provide a stable bearing surface for candy pressing. The circular groove on its top can position and concentrate the candy raw materials, which facilitates the precise pressing of the pressing parts, ensures that the pressed tablets have a regular and uniform shape, improves the molding quality, and provides a standardized space for candy molding, which is conducive to producing standardized products.
[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0018] Preferably, four second sliding rods are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, and the four second sliding rods are slidably connected to the lifting component, and the top ends of the four second sliding rods are fixedly connected to the placement platform.
[0019] The above technical solution provides precise guidance for the vertical movement of the lifting components, ensuring smooth lifting and avoiding swaying, tilting, or deviation during movement, thus guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of the candy pressing and demolding process. On the other hand, it strengthens the connection between the placement platform and the base plate, making the entire structure more robust and able to withstand the pressure generated during the pressing process, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the candy tablet press and improving production quality and efficiency.
[0020] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0021] Preferably, four springs are fixedly connected to the top of the lifting component, and the top ends of the four springs are fixedly connected to the placement platform.
[0022] The above technical solution achieves the following: before the candy is pressed, the spring pushes the lifting component downward, keeping the lifting column in a low position so as not to hinder the material release. After demolding, the spring uses its own elastic potential energy to assist the lifting component in resetting, ensuring that the equipment can quickly enter the next working cycle and improve production efficiency.
[0023] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0024] Preferably, a connecting rail is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting platform, and the fixed column is slidably connected to the connecting rail.
[0025] The above technical solution achieves the effect of converting the circular motion of the rotating disk into the linear motion of the lifting platform. When the rotating disk rotates, the fixed column moves in a circular motion accordingly. Under the constraint of the connecting rail, the lifting platform is pushed to rise and fall smoothly in the vertical direction, thereby accurately controlling the pressure action of the pressing component on the candy raw material and ensuring the stability of the pressing process.
[0026] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0027] Preferably, four first sliding rods are fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the connecting frame, and all four first sliding rods are slidably connected to the lifting platform.
[0028] The above technical solution achieves precise guidance for the vertical lifting of the lifting platform, ensuring that the platform remains vertical during its up-and-down movement without deviation, swaying, or tilting. This allows the pressing component to press down on the candy raw materials vertically with uniform force, ensuring consistent tablet quality.
[0029] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] 1. In this utility model, the second motor drives the rotating disk and the fixed column to rotate. When the fixed column rotates to the bottom, it drives the lifting platform and the pressing component to press the candy into a sheet. After pressing, the rotating disk continues to rotate and the fixed column moves upward to press against the connecting plate, thereby driving the connecting plate, the lifting component and the lifting column to move upward, thereby realizing the automatic demolding of the candy, reducing the equipment switching operation links and making the entire production process smoother.
[0031] 2. In this utility model, the first motor drives the reciprocating screw to rotate. When the reciprocating screw rotates, it drives the moving parts and scraper to move back and forth. After the material is fed into the circular groove, the scraper can be used to scrape the material flat. After the tablet is formed, the scraper can also scrape off the residue on the table to prevent it from affecting the next use. This achieves the effect of uniform distribution of raw materials and clean work surface, and improves the quality of candy products and the continuity of production. Attached Figure Description

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0039] Reference Figures 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a candy tablet press, including a base plate 1, a connecting frame 2 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, a second motor 10 fixedly connected to the rear side of the connecting frame 2, a rotating disk 11 fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 10, a fixed column 12 fixedly connected to the front side of the rotating disk 11, a lifting platform 4 installed at the front side of the connecting frame 2, a pressing component 5 fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting platform 4, a lifting component 8 installed at the top of the base plate 1, a lifting column 16 fixedly connected to the top of the lifting component 8, a connecting plate 17 fixedly connected to the top of the lifting component 8, a sliding connection between the connecting plate 17 and the connecting frame 2, the front end of the fixed column 12 penetrating through and extending to the front side of the connecting plate 17, and a cleaning component 7 installed on the right side of the connecting frame 2;
[0040] Specifically, when the user turns on the candy tablet press, the second motor 10 starts and drives the rotating disk 11 and the fixed column 12 to rotate. As the fixed column 12 slides in the connecting rail 13, it drives the lifting platform 4 and the lower pressing component 5 at the bottom to move downward. The lower pressing component 5 presses the candy raw material placed in the circular groove 9 at the top of the lifting component 8 to form tablets. After the tablets are formed, the rotating disk 11 continues to rotate, and the fixed column 12 moves upward to press against the connecting plate 17, which drives the connecting plate 17, the lifting component 8 and the lifting column 16 to move upward. The lifting column 16 pushes out the candy formed in the circular groove 9, realizing automated tableting and demolding of candy, improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality.
[0041] Reference Figures 1-2 The cleaning component 7 includes a first motor 701, which is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 2. A reciprocating screw 702 is fixedly provided at the output end of the first motor 701. A moving part 703 is threadedly connected to the surface of the reciprocating screw 702. A scraper 704 is fixedly connected to the left side of the moving part 703.
[0042] Specifically, the first motor 701 drives the reciprocating lead screw 702 to rotate. Since the moving part 703 is connected to the reciprocating lead screw 702, when the reciprocating lead screw 702 rotates, the moving part 703 will move back and forth along the direction of the lead screw. The scraper 704 fixed on the left side of the moving part 703 also moves accordingly. When the material is put into the circular groove 9 of the placement table 6, the scraper 704 can scrape the material flat, so that the material is evenly distributed. After the candy is pressed into tablets, the lifting column 16 at the bottom pushes the candy out, and the scraper 704 can scrape off the residue on the placement table 6 and the lifting column 16, keep the table clean, improve the quality of candy production, avoid the residue from affecting subsequent production, and ensure the continuity and stability of production.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 A third slide rod 18 is fixedly connected to the right side of the connecting frame 2, and the third slide rod 18 is slidably connected to the moving part 703;
[0044] Specifically, the third slide bar 18 provides guidance for the movement of the movable part 703, allowing the movable part 703 to move smoothly along the direction of the third slide bar 18, ensuring that the scraper 704 moves more stably and preventing the movable part 703 from deviating or shaking during the movement.
[0045] Reference Figures 2-4 The top of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to a placement platform 6, and the top of the placement platform 6 is provided with a circular groove 9;
[0046] Specifically, the raw materials are placed in the circular groove 9 on the placement table 6, so that the candy can be shaped according to the shape of the circular groove 9 during the pressing process, ensuring that the produced candy has a uniform shape and specifications, and guaranteeing product consistency.
[0047] Reference Figures 3-4 The top of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected to four second slide rods 14, all four second slide rods 14 are slidably connected to the lifting component 8, and the top of each of the four second slide rods 14 is fixedly connected to the placement platform 6.
[0048] Specifically, the four second slide rods 14 are slidably connected to the lifting component 8, which can guide the up and down movement of the lifting component 8, ensuring that the lifting component 8 rises and falls smoothly and avoiding shaking or deviation during the lifting process.
[0049] Reference Figures 3-4 The top of the lifting component 8 is fixedly connected to four springs 15, and the top of the four springs 15 is fixedly connected to the placement platform 6.
[0050] Specifically, four springs 15 are used to push the lifting component 8 downwards, ensuring that the lifting column 16 is at the bottom when discharging material, so that the lifting column 16 will not obstruct the discharging operation, facilitating the smooth addition of raw materials into the circular groove 9, and ensuring that the raw materials can be accurately and fully filled into the circular groove 9.
[0051] Reference Figures 2-4 The top of the lifting platform 4 is fixedly connected to the connecting rail 13, and the fixed column 12 is slidably connected to the connecting rail 13.
[0052] Specifically, the connecting rail 13 is used so that when the rotating disk 11 rotates and drives the fixed column 12 to move, the fixed column 12 can slide left and right within the connecting rail 13, so that when the fixed column 12 moves with the rotating disk 11, it can drive the connecting rail 13 and the lifting platform 4 to move up and down, thereby realizing the pressing and forming of candy tablets.
[0053] Reference Figures 1-3 Four first sliding rods 3 are fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the connecting frame 2, and all four first sliding rods 3 are slidably connected to the lifting platform 4;
[0054] Specifically, four first sliding rods 3 are all slidably connected to the lifting platform 4, providing stable guidance for the up and down movement of the lifting platform 4 and ensuring that the lifting platform 4 rises and falls smoothly in the predetermined direction.
[0055] Working principle: The user places the candy raw material in the circular groove 9 on the placement platform 6. The second motor 10 starts and drives the rotating disk 11 and the fixed column 12 to rotate. Because the fixed column 12 slides in the connecting rail 13, it drives the lifting platform 4 and the bottom pressing part 5 to slide on the first slide rod 3. The pressing part 5 moves downward to press the candy raw material placed in the circular groove 9 at the top of the lifting part 8 into a sheet.
[0056] After the tableting is completed, the rotating disk 11 continues to rotate, the fixed column 12 moves upward to press against the connecting plate 17, and drives the connecting plate 17, the lifting component 8 and the lifting column 16 to move upward. The lifting column 16 pushes out the candy formed in the circular groove 9, realizing the automated tableting and demolding of the candy.
[0057] Before feeding, four springs 15 press down on the lifting component 8 to ensure that the lifting column 16 is at the bottom when feeding, so as not to obstruct feeding into the circular groove 9. After feeding, the first motor 701 of the cleaning component 7 drives the reciprocating screw 702 to rotate, so that the moving component 703 moves back and forth along the direction of the reciprocating screw 702, which drives the scraper 704 to move and scrape the raw material flat. After the candy is pressed into tablets and demolded, the scraper 704 can also scrape off the residue on the placement table 6 and the lifting column 16 to prevent the residue on the surface from affecting the next pressing.
[0058] 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.
