Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of candy filling technology, and in particular to a filling and molding device for sandwich-type gel candies. Background Technology

[0002] The filling and molding device for sandwich-type gel candies is a key piece of equipment used in the production process to simultaneously complete the outer layer molding, filling injection and final molding of the candy. Its design aims to ensure that the outer layer and filling of the candy are precisely bonded and to enable large-scale, high-efficiency production.

[0003] When using filling equipment to produce candy, the equipment is first started, causing the conveyor belt on the filling machine to move the mold plate forward. As it passes the first filling rack, a pumping system delivers the outer layer of the candy's matrix from the filling holes on the rack into the mold slot of the mold plate. The machine continues to move to the next filling rack, where the injection tubes on their surfaces descend and extend into the liquid candy matrix inside the mold slot. The pumping system then delivers the filling material into the liquid matrix. When it reaches the last filling rack, the same process is repeated, with the matrix surface being filled with liquid. The candy in the mold plate then moves to the subsequent cooling and demolding environment. However, in actual use, it has been found that when the injection tubes on the middle filling racks are lifted after the filling material is injected, some candy matrix adheres to their surface. This can cause abnormal dripping of matrix onto the mold plate surface, affecting the shape of the candy in the mold slot and negatively impacting the final product's condition, thus reducing the molding effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that when the filling tube of the filling machine's intermediate filling rack is lifted after the filling material is injected, a certain amount of candy liquid matrix will adhere to its surface. There will be cases where the matrix abnormally drips onto the mold plate surface, affecting the shape of the candy in the mold groove, negatively impacting the subsequent finished product state, and reducing the molding effect.

[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: When using a filling machine to fill and mold sandwich-type gel candies, the equipment is first started, causing the conveyor belt on the filling machine to move the mold plate forward. When passing the first filling rack, the outer matrix of the candy is pumped from the filling holes on the filling rack into the mold groove of the mold plate through the pumping system. Then, it continues to move. When it moves to the bottom of the second filling rack, the injection tube on its surface will descend and extend into the liquid candy matrix inside the mold groove. Then, the pumping system will transport the filling material into the liquid matrix. When the injection tube completes its work and rises, the auxiliary device is activated to remove the liquid candy from the surface of the injection tube. Then, when the mold plate moves to the last filling rack, the same process is repeated for one filling rack, and the candy matrix is ​​poured in to repair the surface of the candy in the mold groove.

Mounting plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the two brush rollers on the inner wall of the filling rack, and sponge boards are fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting plates.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is that when using a filling machine to fill and mold sandwich-type gel candies, it can ensure the stable use of the injection tube, making it less likely for candy liquid to adhere to its surface, resulting in dripping, stringing, or other issues that would affect the molding of the candy inside the mold plate, thereby improving the use effect of the filling machine and the product molding effect.

[0009] Preferably, the auxiliary device further includes a protective sleeve mounted on the surface of the servo motor, wherein the protective sleeve protects the output end of the servo motor.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that, by setting up the protective cover, it is not easy for abnormalities to enter the servo motor through the output end during operation, thus ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0011] Preferably, the auxiliary device further includes several auxiliary rings, wherein the mounting plates on both sides of the auxiliary plate surface are fixedly connected to two mounting plates respectively.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that, through the setting of the auxiliary ring and the assembly plate, the injection tube can come into contact with the bristles inside the auxiliary plate when it rises after injection, thereby further removing the candy matrix liquid adhering to the surface of the injection tube and improving the effectiveness of the device.

[0013] Preferably, a limiting ring is fitted on the arc surface of the gear, wherein the limiting ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the filling frame.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that, through the setting of the limit ring, the gears on the two mounting rods maintain a stable connection during meshing, making it less prone to abnormal misalignment and ensuring the stable operation of the components.

[0015] Preferably, a protective device is provided on the surface of the filling machine near the servo motor. The protective device includes a protective shell, and two fixing plates are slidably connected to the surface of the protective shell. The two fixing plates are fixedly connected to the surface of the filling machine, and the fixing plates are fixed to the protective shell by bolts.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the auxiliary device is in use, the servo motor is less likely to come into contact with or collide with external objects, thus preventing abnormal operation of the servo motor, ensuring stable operation of the auxiliary device, and better cleaning of the candy liquid on the surface of the injection tube.

[0017] Preferably, the protective device further includes a knob on the bolt surface, wherein the knob assists in the operation of the bolt.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that the knob makes it easier and faster to turn the bolts during use, thereby making it easier to disassemble and assemble the protective shell and improving the ease of use of the device.

[0019] Preferably, the surface of the protective shell has two mounting grooves, which are respectively inserted into two fixing plates.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is that, by setting the mounting groove, the mounting plate connection is more stable when the protective shell is assembled and fixed, thereby ensuring the position of the protective shell is fixed.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0031] Figure 1 and Figure 2The illustrated filling and molding apparatus for sandwich-type gel candies includes a filling machine 1. A conveyor belt 4 is mounted on the surface of the filling machine 1, and several evenly distributed mold plates 5 are mounted on the surface of the conveyor belt 4. Three filling racks 6 are fixedly connected to the surface of the filling machine 1, and several injection tubes 7 are arranged on the surface of the filling rack 6 located in the middle position. An auxiliary device 2 is provided on the surface of the filling rack 6 assembling the injection tubes 7, wherein the auxiliary device 2 uses a brush roller 22 to remove the candy matrix adhering to the surface of the injection tubes 7. A protective device 3 is provided on the surface of the filling machine 1 near the servo motor 24. When using the filling machine 1 to fill and mold sandwich-type gel candies, the equipment is first started, and the conveyor belt on the filling machine 1... The belt 4 drives the mold plate 5 forward. When it passes the first filling rack 6, the pumping system delivers the outer matrix of the candy from the filling holes on the filling rack 6 into the mold groove of the mold plate 5. As it continues to move, when it reaches below the second filling rack 6, the injection tube 7 on its surface will descend and extend into the liquid candy matrix inside the mold groove. The pumping system will then deliver the filling material into the liquid matrix. When the injection tube 7 completes its work and rises, the auxiliary device 2 is activated to remove the liquid candy from the surface of the injection tube 7. When the mold plate 5 moves to the last filling rack 6, the same process is repeated for each filling rack 6, and the candy matrix is ​​poured in to repair the surface of the candy in the mold groove.

[0032] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The auxiliary device 2 shown includes two mounting rods 21, which are rotatably connected to the surface of the filling frame 6 in the middle position. Brush rollers 22 are fixedly connected to the arc surfaces of the two mounting rods 21, and meshing gears 23 are fixedly connected to the arc surfaces of the two mounting rods 21. A servo motor 24 is mounted on the surface of the filling machine 1, and the output end of the servo motor 24 is connected to one of the mounting rods 21 via a coupling. Mounting plates 25 are fixedly connected to both sides of the two brush rollers 22 on the inner wall of the filling frame 6. A sponge board is fixedly connected to the surface of the filling plate 25. When filling and molding sandwich-type gel candies using the filling machine 1, the equipment is first started, causing the conveyor belt 4 on the filling machine 1 to move the mold plate 5 forward. Then, when passing the first filling rack 6, the outer matrix of the candy is pumped from the filling holes on the filling rack 6 into the mold groove of the mold plate 5 through the pumping system. Then, as it continues to move, when it moves below the second filling rack 6, the injection tube 7 on its surface will descend and extend into the liquid candy matrix inside the mold groove. Then, the pumping system will... The filling material is fed into the matrix liquid. When the injection tube 7 completes its operation and rises, the servo motor 24 on one side of the filling machine 1 is activated. Because the gears 23 fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two mounting rods 21 mesh with each other, the two mounting rods 21 will run in opposite directions under the drive of the servo motor 24. Then, as the injection tube 7 rises, the bristles of the brush roller 22 fixedly connected to the mounting rod 21 will rotate and rub against its surface, removing the candy liquid from the surface of the injection tube 7. Simultaneously, as the brush roller 22 rotates, it will interact with the sponge pad 26 on one side of the mounting plate 25. The contact process removes some of the candy liquid from the brush bristles, ensuring the continued effectiveness of the brush roller 22. Then, when the mold plate 5 moves to the last filling rack 6, the same process is repeated for each filling rack 6, filling the candy matrix to repair the surface of the candy in the mold groove. At this time, when using the filling machine 1 to fill and shape sandwich-type gel candies, the injection tube 7 can be used stably, preventing candy liquid from adhering to its surface and causing dripping or stringing, which would affect the shaping of the candy in the mold plate 5. This improves the performance of the filling machine 1 and the product shaping effect.

[0033] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The auxiliary device 2 shown also includes a protective sleeve 210 installed on the surface of the servo motor 24. The protective sleeve 210 protects the output end of the servo motor 24. By setting the protective sleeve 210, it is not easy for abnormalities to enter the interior of the servo motor 24 along the output end during operation, thus ensuring the normal operation of the device. The auxiliary device 2 also includes several auxiliary rings 28. The mounting plates 27 on both sides of the auxiliary plate surface are fixedly connected to two mounting plates 25 respectively. By setting the auxiliary rings 28 and mounting plates 27, the injection tube 7 can contact and rub against the bristles inside the auxiliary plate when it rises after injection, thereby further removing the candy matrix liquid adhering to the surface of the injection tube 7, improving the use effect of the device. A limiting ring 29 is sleeved on the arc surface of the gear. The limiting ring 29 is fixedly connected to the surface of the filling rack 6. By setting the limiting ring 29, the gears 23 on the two mounting rods 21 maintain a stable connection when meshing, and it is not easy for abnormal misalignment to occur, thus ensuring the stable operation of the components.

[0034] Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The protective device 3 shown includes a protective shell 31, on which two fixing plates 32 are slidably connected. The two fixing plates 32 are fixedly connected to the surface of the filling machine 1. The fixing plates 32 and the protective shell 31 are connected and fixed by bolts 33. When protecting the servo motor 24 of the auxiliary device 2, the protective shell 31 is first placed over the surface of the servo motor 24, so that the two fixing plates 32 on the filling machine 1 are located on the outside of the protective shell 31. Then, the bolts 33 are passed through the surface of the fixing plates 32, so that the bolts 33 are threadedly connected to the protective shell 31, thus fixing the position of the protective shell 31. At this time, when the auxiliary device 2 is in use, the servo motor 24 is less likely to come into contact with or collide with external objects, which would cause abnormal operation of the servo motor 24. This ensures that the operation of the auxiliary device 2 remains stable and better removes the candy liquid from the surface of the injection tube 7.

[0035] Figure 1 and Figure 4 The protective device 3 shown also includes a knob 34 on the surface of the bolt 33. The knob 34 assists in the operation of the bolt 33. The setting of the knob 34 makes it easier and faster to rotate the bolt 33 during use, thereby making it easier to disassemble and assemble the protective shell 31 and improving the ease of use of the device. Two mounting grooves 35 are opened on the surface of the protective shell 31. The two mounting grooves 35 are respectively inserted into two fixing plates 32. The setting of the mounting grooves 35 makes the assembly and connection of the fixing plates 32 more stable when the protective shell 31 is assembled and fixed, thereby ensuring the fixed position of the protective shell 31.

[0036] Working Principle: When filling and molding sandwich-type gel candies using filling machine 1, the equipment is first started, causing the conveyor belt 4 on filling machine 1 to move the mold plate 5 forward. As it passes the first filling rack 6, the pumping system delivers the outer matrix of the candy from the filling holes on the filling rack 6 into the mold groove of the mold plate 5. Continuing to move, when it reaches below the second filling rack 6, the injection tube 7 on its surface descends, extending into the liquid candy matrix inside the mold groove. The pumping system then delivers the filling material into the liquid matrix. When the injection tube 7 completes its work and rises, the servo motor 24 on one side of filling machine 1 is activated. Because the gears 23 fixedly connected to the surfaces of the two mounting rods 21 mesh with each other, the two mounting rods 21 will move in opposite directions under the drive of the servo motor 24. Then, as the injection tube 7 rises, the bristles of the brush roller 22 fixedly connected to the mounting rod 21 rotate and rub against its surface, removing the candy liquid from the surface of the injection tube 7. At the same time, as the brush roller 22 rotates, it contacts the sponge pad 26 on one side of the mounting plate 25, removing the candy liquid on the bristles to a certain extent, ensuring the continuous use effect of the brush roller 22. Then, when the mold plate 5 moves to the last filling rack 6, the same process is repeated for one filling rack 6, filling the candy matrix to repair the surface of the candy in the mold groove. At this time, when using the filling machine 1 to fill and shape sandwich-type gel candy, the stable use of the injection tube 7 can be ensured, and it is not easy for candy liquid to adhere to its surface, resulting in dripping, stringing, etc., which would affect the shaping of the candy in the mold plate 5, thereby improving the use effect of the filling machine 1 and the product shaping effect.

[0037] When protecting the servo motor 24 of the auxiliary device 2, firstly, the protective shell 31 is placed over the surface of the servo motor 24, so that the two fixing plates 32 on the filling machine 1 are located on the outside of the protective shell 31 respectively. Then, the bolts 33 are passed through the surface of the fixing plates 32, so that the bolts 33 are threadedly connected to the protective shell 31, thus fixing the position of the protective shell 31. At this time, when the auxiliary device 2 is in use, the servo motor 24 is less likely to come into contact with or collide with external objects, which would cause the servo motor 24 to malfunction, thus ensuring that the operation of the auxiliary device 2 remains stable and better removes the candy liquid from the surface of the injection tube 7.
