[0003] Existing molding devices struggle to adjust the thickness of chewable tablets, leading to inconsistencies in product thickness, which negatively impacts the user experience and increases production costs. Therefore, an adjustable molding device is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that existing molding devices have difficulty adjusting the thickness of chewable tablets, resulting in inconsistent product thickness, which affects the user experience and increases production costs.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

An adjustment component for adjusting the product thickness is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the adjusting component includes a positioning column fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. A moving groove is provided on the side wall of the positioning column. A positioning rod is slidably connected inside the moving groove. A spring is fixedly connected to the side wall of the positioning rod. An insert rod is fixedly connected to the other side wall of the positioning rod. A mounting column is slidably connected to the outside of the positioning rod. A pressure head is threaded to the bottom of the mounting column. Three adjusting holes are provided on the side wall of the mounting column. The insert rod is slidably connected to the three adjusting holes respectively.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the pushing assembly includes an inverted frame fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate, an electric push rod fixedly connected to the side wall of the inverted frame, a collection box fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod, a collection tank provided on one side of the mounting plate, a flexible hose connected to the bottom of the collection tank, the other end of the flexible hose connected to the collection box, a discharge hole provided at the bottom of the collection box, and the discharge hole connected to the extrusion hole.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a stabilizing rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the moving groove, and an extension rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the top of the positioning rod. The positioning rod is slidably connected to the stabilizing rod, and one end of the extension rod penetrates the side wall of the moving groove and is slidably connected to the positioning rod.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a first guide plate and a second guide plate are fixedly connected to the opposite side walls inside the collection box, the collection box is trapezoidal in shape, and the side wall away from the electric push rod is inclined.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. Using the molding mechanism, the material for preparing the cardamom digestive chewable tablets is placed inside the extrusion hole. At this time, the bottom of the extrusion hole is blocked by the cylinder output end, causing the material to accumulate inside the extrusion hole. Then, the hydraulic cylinder is activated, which drives the adjustment component to descend, thereby extruding the material into tablets. If the product thickness needs to be adjusted, the positioning rod can be moved closer to the positioning post to disengage the insertion rod from one adjustment hole. Then, the mounting post is moved downward to adjust the position of the mounting post until the insertion rod enters another adjustment hole to complete the adjustment. At this time, the thickness of the produced product will change.
[0016] 2. Using the set pusher assembly, materials are added into the collection tank during use. The materials enter the collection box through the hose. When the product is extruded and formed, the cylinder is activated, which pushes the chewing tablet out of the extrusion hole. Then the electric pusher is activated, which causes the collection box to push the chewing tablet outside the extrusion hole. At this time, the feeding hole is connected to the extrusion hole, and the material will fall into the extrusion hole. Then the electric pusher drives the collection box to reset, and the hydraulic cylinder can be activated again to compress the tablet. Attached Figure Description

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment proposes an adjustable molding device, including a base 1, a molding mechanism 2 for processing chewable tablets is provided on the top of the base 1, and a pushing component 3 for collecting materials is provided on one side of the molding mechanism 2.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the forming mechanism 2 includes four round rods 201 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A support plate 202 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round rods 201. The top of the support plate 202 is provided with an extrusion hole 203 for placing materials. A cylinder 204 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A mounting plate 205 is fixedly connected to the top of the round rods 201. A hydraulic cylinder 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 205. An adjustment component 207 for adjusting the product thickness is fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 206. In use, the material for preparing the cardamom digestive chewable tablets is placed inside the extrusion hole 203. Then, the hydraulic cylinder 206 is activated, and the hydraulic cylinder 206 drives the adjustment component 207 to descend, thereby extruding the material into tablets. Then, the cylinder 204 pushes out the chewable tablets.
[0029] like Figure 5As shown, the adjusting assembly 207 includes a positioning column 20701 fixedly connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 206. A moving groove 20702 is formed on the side wall of the positioning column 20701. A positioning rod 20703 is slidably connected inside the moving groove 20702. A spring 20704 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the positioning rod 20703. The other end of the spring 20704 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving groove 20702. An insert rod 20705 is fixedly connected to the other side wall of the positioning rod 20703. A mounting column 20706 is slidably connected to the outside of the positioning rod 20703. A pressure head 20707 is threadedly connected to the bottom of the mounting column 20706. Three adjusting holes 20708 are formed on the side wall of the mounting column 20706. The insert rod 20705 is slidably connected to the three adjusting holes 20708 respectively. When extruding material, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 206 drives the positioning column 20701 and the mounting column... 20706 and the pressure head 20707 descend into the extrusion hole 203 to extrude the material. After extrusion, the cylinder 204 is activated, pushing the chewing tablet upward and disengaging it from the extrusion hole 203. If the thickness of the chewing tablet needs to be adjusted, the positioning rod 20703 can be moved closer to the central axis of the positioning post 20701. At this time, the spring 20704 contracts until the insertion rod 20705 disengages from the adjustment hole 20708. At this time, the mounting post 20706 is no longer restricted and can be moved downward. Then, the positioning rod 20703 is released, and one end of the insertion rod 20705 will abut against the inner wall of the mounting post 20706 until the insertion rod 20705 enters one of the remaining two adjustment holes 20708. At this time, the position of the mounting post 20706 will change, thus changing the hardness of the extruded chewing tablet and consequently its thickness.
[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, the feeding assembly 3 includes a U-shaped frame 301 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate 205. The U-shaped frame 301 serves as a guide. An electric push rod 302 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the U-shaped frame 301. A collection box 303 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 302. A collection tank 304 is provided on one side of the mounting plate 205. The collection tank 304 is used to place materials. A flexible hose 305 is connected to the bottom of the collection tank 304. The flexible hose 305 is used to connect the collection box 303 and the collection tank 304. The other end of the flexible hose 305 is connected to the collection box 303. The bottom of the 3 has a feeding hole 306, which is connected to the extrusion hole 203. When the formed material is pushed out by the cylinder 204, the electric push rod 302 is activated, so that its output end drives the collection box 303 to gradually approach the chewing tablet until the chewing tablet is pushed to one side of the extrusion hole 203. Then the output end of the cylinder 204 is reset, and then the electric push rod 302 is activated. When the extension end of the electric push rod 302 extends and retracts to the point where it can no longer extend and retract, the feeding hole 306 will just connect with the extrusion hole 203. At this time, the material enters the extrusion hole 203, which plays the role of automatic feeding and discharging.
[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, a stabilizing rod 4 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the top of the moving groove 20702, and an extension rod 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the top of the positioning rod 20703. The positioning rod 20703 is slidably connected to the stabilizing rod 4, and one end of the extension rod 5 passes through the side wall of the moving groove 20702 and is slidably connected to the positioning rod 20703. When in use, the stabilizing rod 4 can prevent the positioning rod 20703 from moving up and down, and the extension rod 5 can facilitate the movement of the positioning rod 20703.
[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, a first guide plate 6 and a second guide plate 7 are fixedly connected to opposite side walls inside the collection box 303. The collection box 303 is trapezoidal in shape and the side wall away from the electric push rod 302 is inclined. The first guide plate 6 and the second guide plate 7 can prevent materials from accumulating inside the collection box 303.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, a stabilizing plate 8 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the mounting column 20706. Four round rods 201 pass through the four corners of the stabilizing plate 8, and the stabilizing plate 8 is slidably connected to the round rods 201. When in use, the stabilizing plate 8 can guide the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 206 and improve the accuracy of its output end.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a mounting hoop 9 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the collection tank 304. Bolts 10 are provided on the opposite side walls of the mounting hoop 9. The other end of the bolt 10 is bolted to the mounting plate 205. When in use, the bolt 10 is passed through the mounting hoop 9 and screwed into the mounting plate 205. At this time, the mounting hoop 9 will fix the collection tank 304 and prevent it from falling.
[0035] Specifically, when using this adjustable molding device: the material for preparing the cardamom digestive chewable tablets is placed inside the collection tank 304, and then the electric push rod 302 is activated. When the telescopic end of the electric push rod 302 extends to its limit, the feeding hole 306 will just connect with the extrusion hole 203. At this time, the material enters the extrusion hole 203. Then, the electric push rod 302 drives the collection box 303 to reset (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown), then the hydraulic cylinder 206 is activated. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 206 drives the positioning column 20701, the mounting column 20706, and the pressure head 20707 to descend into the extrusion hole 203, thereby extruding the material. After extrusion, the cylinder 204 is activated, which pushes the chewing tablet upward, disengaging it from the extrusion hole 203. Then, the electric actuator 302 is activated again, causing its output end to drive the collection box 303 to gradually approach the chewing tablet until it is pushed to one side of the extrusion hole 203. Immediately afterwards, the output end of the cylinder 204 resets. By repeating the above steps, the tableting operation can be continuously performed (as shown). Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown), if the chewing tablet thickness needs to be adjusted, the extension rod 5 can be moved closer to the central axis of the positioning post 20701. At this time, the spring 20704 will contract until the insertion rod 20705 disengages from the adjustment hole 20708. At this time, the mounting post 20706 is no longer restricted, and the mounting post 20706 can be moved downwards. Then, the extension rod 5 is released, and the elastic force of the spring 20704 will cause one end of the insertion rod 20705 to abut against the inner wall of the mounting post 20706 until the insertion rod 20705 enters one of the remaining two adjustment holes 20708. At this time, the position of the mounting post 20706 will change (e.g., Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the hardness of the chewing tablet changes after subsequent extrusion, which in turn causes a change in thickness.
[0036] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.
[0037] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
