Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pharmaceutical production technology, specifically a diversion device for the production of compressed candy. Background Technology

[0002] Compressed candy is a solid candy made through a compression process and falls under the category of general food. It uses sugar, syrup, or sweeteners as its main raw materials, which are mixed, granulated, or directly compressed into shape. The compressed candy production process is also commonly used in pharmaceutical production. To improve the production efficiency of tablet-shaped drugs, the raw materials need to be diverted during the production process to facilitate simultaneous processing from multiple locations. However, when producing tablets of different sizes, it is necessary to change the mold, commonly known as "mold changing." Because different molds have different dimensions and centerlines, the centerline needs to be recalibrated after mold changing. Traditional calibration methods are mostly manual, which has low efficiency. To improve this situation, a diversion device for compressed candy production is proposed.

[0003] For example, the diversion device for compressed candy production disclosed in the authorization announcement number CN213523732U includes a base plate, a support, a diversion frame, a processing box, a feed pipe, and a diversion pipe. Telescopic rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center line of the support and the diversion frame. A sliding rod penetrating the support is provided at the top of the diversion frame. An elastic sleeve is sleeved on the outer side of the bottom end of the sliding rod. A top plate is provided at the top of the sliding rod. A first spring for pushing the top plate is sleeved on the outer side of the sliding rod. Slider blocks are provided on both sides of the diversion frame. Slider grooves that cooperate with the sliders are opened on both sides of the support.

[0004] Although it achieves this by designing an elastic sleeve installed on the outside of the slide bar, which acts as a buffer to reduce damage to the telescopic rod, and by using the action of the first spring to push the top plate upward, thus facilitating the retraction of the flow divider, the cooperation between the slide groove and the slider further ensures the stability of the flow divider, thereby facilitating the stability of the flow divider, ensuring accurate docking between the nozzle and the mold, and facilitating the retraction of the flow divider;

[0005] However, the existing diversion device does not solve the problems of continuous injection molding production of compressed candies, flexible adjustment of the position of the diversion tube, and difficulty in aligning the center line between the diversion tube and the mold, which affect the efficiency of compressed candy production and the flexibility of use. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a diversion device for the production of compressed candy, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art that the diversion device is not convenient for continuous injection molding production of compressed candy and flexible adjustment of the position of the diversion tube, and is not conducive to the correction of the center line between the diversion tube and the mold, which affects the efficiency of compressed candy production and the flexibility of use.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a diversion device for compressed candy production, comprising a belt conveyor and a limiting frame. The top of the belt conveyor is provided with a limiting frame, and the surface of the belt conveyor is provided with multiple sets of molds at equal intervals. The top of the limiting frame is symmetrically provided with a first integrated plate. A stepper motor is provided on one side of each of the first integrated plates, and a drive shaft is installed at the output end of each stepper motor. A short connecting arm is fitted onto the surface of each drive shaft. A long connecting arm is movably installed at the end of each short connecting arm away from the drive shaft. A reciprocating rod is movably installed at the end of each long connecting arm away from the short connecting arm. A limiting block is provided on the other side of each of the first integrated plates, and the reciprocating rod is slidably connected to the limiting block. Slider blocks are symmetrically slidably arranged inside the limiting frame, and the reciprocating rod is connected to the slider. An adjustment box is provided between the two sets of sliders, and a material box is provided at the top of the adjustment box.

[0008] Preferably, the adjustment box is provided with a second integrated plate inside, and a servo motor is provided at the center of the bottom end of the second integrated plate.

[0009] Preferably, a gear is installed at the output end of the servo motor, and movable blocks are slidably installed on the surfaces of the second integrated plates on both sides of the servo motor.

[0010] Preferably, each of the movable blocks is provided with a rack on the side near the gear, and the rack meshes with the gear.

[0011] Preferably, the end of the rack away from the moving block is provided with a connecting arm, and the connecting arm is slidably connected to the adjustment box.

[0012] Preferably, each of the connecting arms is provided with a diversion pipe at its bottom end, and the diversion pipe is connected to the material box through a flexible hose.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this diversion device not only realizes continuous injection molding production of compressed candy and flexible adjustment of the position of the diversion tube, facilitating the correction of the center line between the diversion tube and the mold, but also improves the efficiency of compressed candy production and the flexibility of use.

[0014] (1) The raw material is poured into the inside of the material box, and the mold is moved by the belt conveyor. When the mold moves to the bottom of the diverter, the drive shaft is rotated by the stepper motor, the short connecting arm is rotated by the drive shaft, the long connecting arm is oscillating back and forth by the short connecting arm, and the reciprocating rod is moved back and forth inside the limit block by the long connecting arm. Under the sliding cooperation between the slider and the limit frame, the slider is moved up and down by the reciprocating rod, and the slider is moved up and down by the adjustment box and the diverter. Since the bottom end of the diverter and the top end of the mold are both equipped with tapered tubes, the tapered tubes are set... The advantage is that it can seal the connection port to prevent material leakage. Then, the material pump inside the hopper is pumped through the flexible hose into the distribution pipe and injected into the mold from inside the distribution pipe, so that the material is formed in the mold, thereby completing the production work. Since the belt conveyor continuously drives the mold to move, it can be used in conjunction with the up and down reciprocating movement of the distribution pipe to carry out continuous production of compressed candy, thereby improving the efficiency of compressed candy production. This realizes continuous injection molding production of compressed candy and improves the efficiency of compressed candy production.

[0015] (2) After the production of this batch of compressed candy is completed, the mold on the belt conveyor is replaced with another mold. The center line of the new mold and the distribution pipe are not on the same horizontal line. The center line of the distribution pipe needs to be recalibrated. The servo motor drives the gear to rotate, and the gear drives the connecting arm to move through the rack. The connecting arm drives the distribution pipe to move closer to each other to adjust the position of the distribution pipe, so that the center line of the distribution pipe and the mold are on the same horizontal line. Then, the production operation can be continued as described above. This makes it convenient to flexibly adjust the position of the distribution pipe and to correct the center line of the distribution pipe and the mold, thus improving the flexibility of use.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5This utility model provides an embodiment of a diversion device for the production of compressed candy, including a belt conveyor 1 and a limiting frame 2. The limiting frame 2 is provided at the top of the belt conveyor 1. Multiple sets of molds 3 with equal spacing are provided on the surface of the belt conveyor 1. The top of the limiting frame 2 is symmetrically provided with a first integrated plate 4. A stepper motor 9 is provided on one side of the first integrated plate 4. The stepper motor 9 plays the role of power driving. The output end of the stepper motor 9 is equipped with a drive shaft 10. The surface of the drive shaft 10 is fitted with a short connecting arm 11. A long connecting arm 12 is movably installed at the end of the short connecting arm 11 away from the drive shaft 10. A reciprocating rod 13 is movably installed at the end of the long connecting arm 12 away from the short connecting arm 11. The other side of the first integrated plate 4 is provided with a limiting block 14. The reciprocating rod 13 is slidably connected to the limiting block 14. Slider 8 is symmetrically slidably provided inside the limiting frame 2. The reciprocating rod 13 is connected to the slider 8. An adjustment box 6 is provided between the two sets of sliders 8. A material box 5 is provided at the top of the adjustment box 6.

[0027] When producing compressed candy, the raw materials are poured into the material box 5, and the belt conveyor 1 is turned on. The belt conveyor 1 drives the mold 3 to move. When the mold 3 moves below the distribution pipe 7, the stepper motor 9 is turned on. The stepper motor 9 drives the drive shaft 10 to rotate, which in turn drives the short connecting arm 11 to rotate. The short connecting arm 11 drives the long connecting arm 12 to swing back and forth. With the sliding engagement between the reciprocating rod 13 and the limiting block 14, the long connecting arm 12 drives the reciprocating rod 13 to move back and forth inside the limiting block 14. With the sliding engagement between the slider 8 and the limiting frame 2, the reciprocating rod 13 drives the slider 8 to move up and down. The slider 8 drives the adjusting box 6 and the distribution pipe 7 to move up and down. The material moves back and forth. Because both the bottom end of the diversion pipe 7 and the top end of the mold 3 are equipped with tapered pipes, the advantage of which is that the connection port can be sealed to prevent material leakage. Then, the material pump inside the material box 5 is pumped into the diversion pipe 7 through the flexible hose and injected into the mold 3 from the diversion pipe 7, so that the material is formed in the mold 3, thereby completing the production work. Because the belt conveyor 1 continuously drives the mold 3 to move, it can be used in conjunction with the up and down reciprocating movement of the diversion pipe 7 to continuously produce compressed candy, thereby improving the efficiency of compressed candy production. This realizes continuous injection molding production of compressed candy and improves the efficiency of compressed candy production.

[0028] The adjustment box 6 has a second integrated plate 15 inside, and a servo motor 16 is located at the center of the bottom end of the second integrated plate 15. The servo motor 16 serves as a power drive.

[0029] A gear 17 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 16, and a moving block 19 is slidably installed on the surface of the second integrated plate 15 on both sides of the servo motor 16.

[0030] Each movable block 19 is provided with a rack 18 on the side near the gear 17, and the rack 18 meshes with the gear 17. Each rack 18 is provided with a connecting arm 20 on the end away from the movable block 19, and the connecting arm 20 is slidably connected to the adjusting box 6.

[0031] Each connecting arm 20 is equipped with a diversion pipe 7 at its bottom end, and the diversion pipe 7 is connected to the material box 5 through a flexible hose;

[0032] After the production of this batch of compressed candy is completed, the mold 3 on the belt conveyor 1 is replaced with another mold. The center line of the new mold is not on the same horizontal line as the distribution pipe 7, so the center line of the distribution pipe 7 needs to be recalibrated. At this time, the servo motor 16 is turned on, and the servo motor 16 drives the gear 17 to rotate. Under the mutual meshing of the gear 17 and the rack 18, and the sliding cooperation between the moving block 19 and the second integrated plate 15, the gear 17 drives the connecting arm 20 to move through the rack 18. The connecting arm 20 drives the distribution pipes 7 to move closer to each other, thereby adjusting the position of the distribution pipe 7, so that the center line of the distribution pipe 7 is kept on the same horizontal line as the mold 3. Then, the production operation can be continued as above. This makes it convenient to flexibly adjust the position of the distribution pipe and to correct the center line of the distribution pipe and the mold, thus improving the flexibility of use.

[0033] Work steps

[0034] When producing compressed candy, the raw materials are poured into the material bin 5. The belt conveyor 1 drives the mold 3 to move. When the mold 3 moves below the distribution pipe 7, the stepper motor 9 is turned on, which drives the drive shaft 10 to rotate. The drive shaft 10 drives the short connecting arm 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the long connecting arm 12 to swing back and forth. The long connecting arm 12 drives the reciprocating rod 13 to move back and forth inside the limit block 14. The reciprocating rod 13 drives the slider 8 to move up and down, which in turn drives the adjusting box 6 and the distribution pipe 7 to move up and down. Since the bottom end of the distribution pipe 7 and the top end of the mold 3 are both equipped with tapered tubes, the advantage of the tapered tubes is that they can seal the connection port and prevent material leakage. Then, the material is pumped through the flexible hose by the material pump inside the material bin 5 into the distribution pipe 7 and injected into the mold 3 from inside the distribution pipe 7, so that the material is formed in the mold 3, thereby completing the production process. Since the belt conveyor 1 continuously drives the mold 3 to move, it can work in conjunction with the up-and-down reciprocating movement of the distribution pipe 7 to continuously produce compressed candies, thereby improving the production efficiency of compressed candies. After the production of this batch of compressed candies is completed, the mold 3 on the belt conveyor 1 is replaced with another mold. The center line of the new mold is not on the same horizontal line as the distribution pipe 7, so the center line of the distribution pipe 7 needs to be recalibrated. At this time, the servo motor 16 is turned on, and the servo motor 16 drives the gear 17 to rotate. Under the mutual meshing of the gear 17 and the rack 18, and the sliding cooperation between the moving block 19 and the second integrated plate 15, the gear 17 drives the connecting arm 20 to move through the rack 18. The connecting arm 20 drives the distribution pipes 7 to move closer to each other, thereby adjusting the position of the distribution pipe 7, so that the center line of the distribution pipe 7 is kept on the same horizontal line as the mold 3. Then, the production operation can be continued as above.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
