Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gummy candy processing technology, specifically a cutting device for gummy candy processing. Background Technology

[0002] The texture of gummy candies is highly elastic, sticky, and has a certain degree of toughness, which places extremely high and consistent demands on the sharpness of the cutting blade. During the cutting process, a sharp blade can quickly and smoothly cut into the interior of the gummy candy, avoiding deformation, stringing, or burrs caused by excessive cutting resistance, thus ensuring the gummy candy has a regular shape and good appearance.

[0003] However, with prolonged use, the blade's sharpness will gradually decrease due to continuous friction with the gummy candy and wear from tiny impurities that may get mixed in with the candy. This will cause the gummy candy to be subjected to greater tensile force during cutting, resulting in deformation and destruction of its original design shape. At this point, the blade needs to be replaced quickly.

[0004] Traditional blades are mostly fixed in place, making blade replacement a cumbersome disassembly process that consumes a lot of time and manpower. It often requires unscrewing multiple fixing screws to remove the old blade, install the new blade, and readjust its position and angle. The whole process often takes a long time, during which the production line must be stopped, seriously affecting the continuity of production.

[0005] In view of this, a cutting device for processing gummy candies is provided to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cutting device for processing gummy candies, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cutting device for processing gummy candies, including a mounting plate, a limiting rail, and a cutting blade. A movable upper docking block is provided on one side of the limiting rail. A moving groove is opened inside the upper docking block. A movable moving block is arranged inside the moving groove. A pressing block is fixedly connected to one end of the moving block. A through groove adapted to the pressing block is opened on the side wall of the upper docking block. An L-shaped docking fastener with an inclined bottom surface is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the moving block. An abutment spring is fixedly connected between the moving block and the inner wall of the moving groove. A docking plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the cutting blade. A docking block is fixedly installed on the top surface of the docking plate. A docking clamping plate is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the docking block. The docking clamping plate and the docking fastener are mutually adapted.

[0008] Furthermore, the specific number of the docking fasteners and docking plates are both two, and they are symmetrically arranged, with both docking fasteners and two docking plates being adapted simultaneously.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting rail is specifically a plate with a "convex" groove inside, and a sliding moving block with the same "convex" shape is provided inside the limiting rail, and the upper connecting block is fixedly connected to the lower part of the moving block.

[0010] Furthermore, a drive motor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate, and a drive rod is connected to one side of the drive motor.

[0011] Furthermore, a connecting rod is hinged to the side wall of the movable block, and the end of the connecting rod away from the movable block is hinged to the edge of the drive rod.

[0012] Furthermore, two abutment springs are fixedly connected between one of the movable blocks and one of the movable slots, and the two abutment springs are arranged symmetrically.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] See Figure 1-4 A cutting device for processing soft candy includes a mounting plate 1, a limiting rail 2, and a cutting blade 8. A movable upper docking block 7 is provided on one side of the limiting rail 2. A moving groove 73 is provided inside the upper docking block 7. A movable moving block 716 is provided inside the moving groove 73. A pressing block 72 is fixedly connected to one end of the moving block 716. A through groove adapted to the pressing block 72 is provided on the side wall of the upper docking block 7. An L-shaped docking fastener 75 with an inclined bottom surface is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the moving block 716. An abutment spring 74 is fixedly connected between the moving block 716 and the inner wall of the moving groove 73. A docking plate 91 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the cutting blade 8. A docking block 92 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the docking plate 91. A docking clamping plate 93 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the docking block 92. The docking clamping plate 93 and the docking fastener 75 are adapted to each other.

[0026] Furthermore, there are two of each of the docking fasteners 75 and docking plates 93, and they are arranged symmetrically. The two docking fasteners 75 and the two docking plates 93 are simultaneously adapted. By setting the specific number of docking fasteners 75 and docking plates 93 to two, and the two docking fasteners 75 and the two docking plates 93 being simultaneously adapted, the lower docking block 9, when inserted into the upper docking block 7, allows the two docking plates 93 to move the two docking fasteners 75 against each other, thereby driving the pressing block 72 and the moving block 716 to move synchronously. During the movement, the resisting spring 74 is continuously compressed until the docking plates 93 are completely embedded in the inner wall of the moving block 716. Only then will the moving block 716, the pressing block 72, and the docking fasteners 75 return to their original positions under the elastic force of the resisting spring 74. At this time, the two docking plates 93 are locked inside by the two docking fasteners 75, and the splicing between the lower docking block 9 and the upper docking block 7 is completed.

[0027] Furthermore, the limiting rail 2 is specifically a plate with a "convex" shaped groove inside. Inside the limiting rail 2, there is a sliding moving block 716, which is also "convex" shaped. The upper connecting block 7 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the moving block 716.

[0028] By setting the limiting rail 2 as a plate with a "convex" groove inside, and the moving block 716 also having a "convex" shape, the moving block 716 can only move along the axial direction of the limiting rail 2 when it moves inside the limiting rail 2. The upper docking block 7 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the moving block 716, so that the upper docking block 7 can also only move along the axial direction of the limiting rail 2.

[0029] In addition, a drive motor 3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting plate 1. A drive rod 4 is connected to one side of the drive motor 3. A connecting rod 5 is hinged to the side wall of the moving block 716. The end of the connecting rod 5 away from the moving block 716 is hinged to the edge of the drive rod 4.

[0030] In addition, two abutment springs 74 are fixedly connected between a movable block 716 and a movable slot 73, and the two abutment springs 74 are arranged symmetrically.

[0031] By setting two contact springs 74 between the moving block 716 and the moving groove 73, the moving block 716 can be subjected to a stronger pulling force after it moves.

[0032] In practice, the sharpness of the cutting blade 8 will gradually decrease due to continuous friction with the gummy candy and wear from tiny impurities that may be mixed into the gummy candy. This will cause the gummy candy to be subjected to greater tensile force during the cutting process, causing the gummy candy to deform. At this time, the cutting blade 8 needs to be polished and replaced in time. However, most traditional devices are fixed, and disassembly and polishing take a long time. During this time, the production line must be stopped, which seriously affects the continuity of production.

[0033] In this application, when the user needs to replace the cutting blade 8, the user can hold the cutting blade 8 and then press the two pressing buttons 72. After pressing, the pressing buttons 72 will move the moving block 716 and the docking fastener 75 together towards the center of the upper docking block 7. At this time, the docking plate 93 connected above the cutting blade 8 will no longer be restricted by the docking fastener 75. The lower docking block 9 can then easily detach from the upper docking block 7, and the cutting blade 8 connected below the lower docking block 9 will also quickly detach. At this point, the user can quickly replace the cutting blade 8.

[0034] When the cutting blade 8 needs to be reinstalled, simply align the lower docking block 9 with the upper docking block 7, and push the lower docking block 9 to the upper docking block 7 so that the two docking plates 93 can move the two docking fasteners 75 against each other, thereby driving the pressing block 72 and the moving block 716 to move synchronously. During the movement, the abutment spring 74 is continuously compressed until the docking plate 93 is fully embedded in the inner wall of the moving block 716. The moving block 716, the pressing block 72, and the docking fasteners 75 will then return to their original positions under the elastic force of the abutment spring 74. At this time, the two docking plates 93 are locked inside by the two docking fasteners 75, and the lower docking block 9 and the upper docking block 7 are spliced ​​together. The cutting blade 8 is then installed synchronously.

[0035] By setting the lower docking block 9 and the upper docking block 7, users can quickly install and remove the cutting blade 8, so that when users need to replace or grind the cutting blade 8, the overall production time will not be delayed too much, thus maintaining the continuity of production line.

[0036] Working principle: When the user needs to replace the cutting blade 8, the user can hold the cutting blade 8 and then press the two pressing buttons 72. After pressing, the pressing buttons 72 will drive the moving block 716 and the docking fastener 75 to move together towards the center of the upper docking block 7. At this time, the docking plate 93 connected above the cutting blade 8 will no longer be restricted by the docking fastener 75. At this time, the lower docking block 9 can easily detach from the upper docking block 7, and the cutting blade 8 connected below the lower docking block 9 will also quickly detach. At this time, the user can quickly replace the cutting blade 8.

[0037] When the cutting blade 8 needs to be reinstalled, simply align the lower docking block 9 with the upper docking block 7, and push the lower docking block 9 to the upper docking block 7 so that the two docking plates 93 can move the two docking fasteners 75 against each other, thereby driving the pressing block 72 and the moving block 716 to move synchronously. During the movement, the abutment spring 74 is continuously compressed until the docking plate 93 is fully embedded in the inner wall of the moving block 716. The moving block 716, the pressing block 72, and the docking fasteners 75 will then return to their original positions under the elastic force of the abutment spring 74. At this time, the two docking plates 93 are locked inside by the two docking fasteners 75, and the lower docking block 9 and the upper docking block 7 are spliced ​​together. The cutting blade 8 is then installed synchronously.

[0038] By setting the lower docking block 9 and the upper docking block 7, users can quickly install and remove the cutting blade 8, so that when users need to replace or grind the cutting blade 8, the overall production time will not be delayed too much, thus maintaining the continuity of production line.

[0039] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
