[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0028] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in this embodiment, a jelly forming device includes a lower mold 1 and an upper mold 3. The lower mold 1 and the upper mold 3 are connected by a hinge and can be opened and closed. A positioning plate 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper mold 3. The positioning plate 31 matches the groove on the end face of the lower mold 1. An injection port 32 is arranged between the upper mold 3 and the positioning plate 31. The injection port 32 corresponds to the center of the upper part of the jelly cup 4. An exhaust hole 33 is arranged between the upper mold 3 and the positioning plate 31. The exhaust hole 33 corresponds to the upper edge of the jelly cup 4.

[0029] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, T-shaped guide grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the groove at the lower end of the lower mold 1. T-shaped blocks are slidably connected in the T-shaped guide grooves 11. Mounting holes are arranged in the groove at the end face of the lower mold 1. Mold cavities 13 are fixedly connected in the mounting holes. Jelly cups 4 are placed in the mold cavities 13. The shape of the jelly cups 4 matches the shape of the mold cavity 13. A cooling cavity 12 is provided at the upper end of the lower mold 1. A central sleeve 14 is fixedly connected in the middle between the bottom side of the mold cavity 13 and the cooling cavity 12. Edge sleeves 15 are arranged in the circumferential direction between the bottom side of the mold cavity 13 and the cooling cavity 12. A central push rod 23 is slidably connected in the central sleeve 14. An edge push rod 24 is slidably connected in the edge sleeves 15. The bottom bolts of the lower mold 1 are installed. The mold is equipped with a base 2, and electric push rods 21 are installed at both ends of the inner side of the base 2. The output end of the electric push rod 21 passes through the bottom of the lower mold 1 and is provided with a support plate 22. The outer walls of both sides of the support plate 22 are fixedly connected to the T-shaped block. The bottom of the center push rod 23 and the edge push rod 24 are fixedly connected to the support plate 22. A mold cavity 13 and a matching jelly cup 4 are set on the lower mold 1. The required jelly is directly solidified through the pre-forming mold, avoiding damage to the jelly from secondary cutting. In addition, the electric push rod 21, the center push rod 23 and the edge push rod 24 are set to eject the solidified jelly cup 4 along with the jelly. Non-contact demolding is used to reduce bacterial growth. Multiple push rods are set at the bottom of the jelly cup 4 to ensure uniform lifting force.

[0030] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, an upper partition 121 is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the cooling cavity 12, and a lower partition 122 is fixedly connected to the lower inner wall of the cooling cavity 12. The upper partition 121 and the lower partition 122 divide the mold cavity 13 into three parts: upper, middle, and lower. The upper partition 121 and the lower partition 122 also divide the cooling cavity 12 into three independent water layers. Each layer of the cooling cavity 12 has inlet and outlet water pipes 123 on both sides, and each inlet and outlet water pipe 123 is equipped with a valve. The inlet and outlet water pipes 123 are connected to an external temperature-controlled water tank. Through the upper partition 121 and the lower partition 122, the cooling cavity 12 is divided into upper, middle, and lower water layers. The three independent water layers, one in the middle and one in the bottom, are filled with water at different temperatures to create a temperature gradient. This adapts to the physical property of jelly solidifying first at the top and then at the bottom, preventing the jelly from deforming or splitting. Since the solidification temperature of jelly (such as gelatin) is usually 20°-25°, 15° cooling water is injected into the upper cooling chamber to prioritize cooling the top of the jelly and prevent air bubbles from forming. 10° cooling water is injected into the middle cooling chamber to accelerate the solidification of the main body of the jelly and shorten the overall forming time. 5° cooling water is injected into the lower cooling chamber to enhance bottom cooling and prevent heat accumulation at the bottom.

[0031] This utility model provides a jelly forming device, the specific working principle of which is as follows: the jelly cup 4 is placed into the mold cavity 13, the upper mold 3 is closed, so that the positioning plate 31 presses and fixes the jelly cup 4, and the jelly liquid is injected into the jelly cup 4 from the injection port 32; at the same time, through the external temperature-controlled water tank, cooling water of different temperatures is injected into the upper, middle and lower layers of the cooling cavity 12 respectively. After solidification for a period of time, the upper mold 3 is opened, the electric push rod 21 is activated, so that the support plate 22 pushes the central push rod 23 and the edge push rod 24 to slide in the central sleeve 14 and the edge sleeve 15, thereby ejecting the jelly cup 4 along with the jelly, so that the user can take out the jelly formed in the jelly cup 4.

[0032] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
