Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gummy candy production technology, specifically to a bottom-pump gummy candy filling device. Background Technology

[0002] Soft candy is a type of functional candy that is soft, elastic, and chewy. It is primarily made from gelatin, syrup, and other ingredients, and undergoes multiple processing steps to create beautifully crafted, long-lasting solid candies with various shapes, textures, and flavors. It possesses elasticity and a chewy texture. During the filling process, filling equipment is required, typically using plastic packaging or bottling methods. The soft candies are filled into plastic bags or bottles through funnels, and then sealed using sealing or screw-capping equipment. After filling, the candies are weighed to ensure the weight is correct.

[0003] During the filling process, because the surface of the gummies has a certain degree of stickiness, it is often necessary to coat the surface of the gummies with starch or other substances to reduce the stickiness. However, the gummies may still stick together during the filling process, making it difficult to dispense the filling material and thus affecting the filling efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a bottom-pump candy filling device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bottom-pump type gummy candy filling device to solve the problem that gummy candies stick together during the filling process, making it difficult to dispense and thus affecting the filling efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bottom-pump type soft candy filling device, including an equipment box, a filling hopper fixedly connected to the left front side of the upper surface of the equipment box, a filling assembly provided inside the equipment box, the filling assembly including a positioning frustum, a worktable, a processing groove, a filling cylinder, a distributing hopper, a lifting plate, a hydraulic cylinder and a pumping rod, an electric motor fixedly installed at the bottom of the equipment box, and the output end of the electric motor fixedly connected to the center of the worktable.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the electric motor drives the worktable to rotate, moving the filling cylinder to the lower side of the filling hopper for filling. After filling is completed, the hydraulic cylinder and the lifting plate work together to drive multiple sets of material-push rods to poke the material inside the material distribution hopper, so that the material inside the material distribution hopper is quickly filled into the filling cylinder, thereby improving filling efficiency.

[0008] Optionally, the positioning frustum is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the equipment box, the worktable is rotatably connected to the interior of the positioning frustum, eight processing grooves are provided at the edge of the upper surface of the worktable, and the filling cylinder is disposed inside the processing groove.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, eight sets of positioning slots work together to keep multiple sets of filling cylinders at the same distance, while the worktable and electric motor work together to drive multiple sets of filling cylinders to rotate intermittently.

[0010] Optionally, each of the eight processing tanks is provided with a material distribution hopper on its upper side. The lower end of the filling hopper is located on the upper side of the material distribution hopper on the left front side. A support frame is fixedly connected to the side of the material distribution hopper, and the lower end of the support frame is fixedly connected to the surface of the workbench.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the distribution hopper is used as a transfer hopper. The filling hopper first discharges the material into the interior of the distribution hopper, and then the distribution hopper fills it into the filling cylinder, thereby improving the filling efficiency.

[0012] Optionally, the lifting plate is located on the upper side of the four rear feeding hoppers, and a feeding rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the lifting plate at the position of the axis of the four feeding hoppers.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, during the lifting process, the lifting plate drives the material-push rod to slide up and down inside the material-distributing hopper, pushing out the material stuck to the inner wall of the material-distributing hopper, thereby facilitating the rapid filling of the material inside the material-distributing hopper into the filling cylinder.

[0014] Optionally, the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the equipment box at the position behind the positioning frustum. The upper end of the piston rod in the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the rear end of the first connecting plate. Multiple sets of linear guide rails are fixedly connected between the top wall and the bottom wall of the equipment box. Positioning sleeves are fixedly connected to the rear ends of the four sets of second connecting plates. The positioning sleeves are slidably connected to the linear guide rails.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the hydraulic cylinder is used to push the lifting plate to move up and down. At the same time, during the movement of the lifting plate, the positioning sleeve slides up and down on the surface of the linear guide rail, which effectively improves the stability of the lifting plate during movement.

[0016] Optionally, a vibrator is fixedly installed on the side wall of the discharge end under the filling hopper, and multiple sets of inclined bracing plates are fixedly connected at the connection between the filling hopper and the upper wall of the equipment box.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined support plate improves the stability of the connection between the filling hopper and the equipment box, while the vibrator is used to vibrate the lower end of the filling hopper to facilitate the discharge of materials inside the filling hopper.

[0018] Optionally, the front wall of the equipment box is provided with a feed inlet, and a feed conveyor belt is provided inside the feed inlet. The right side wall of the equipment box is provided with a discharge outlet, and a discharge conveyor belt is provided inside the discharge outlet.

[0019] Optionally, mounting slots are provided on the front and right sides of the positioning truncated cone, and the inner ends of the feeding conveyor belt and the discharging conveyor belt are both located inside the mounting slots.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the feeding conveyor belt and the discharging conveyor belt work together to facilitate the transportation of filling cylinders and effectively improve the conveying efficiency of filling cylinders.

[0021] The technical effects and advantages provided by this utility model in the above technical solution are as follows:

[0022] 1. This utility model uses an electric motor to drive the worktable to rotate, moving the filling cylinder to the lower side of the filling hopper for filling. After filling is completed, the hydraulic cylinder and lifting plate work together to drive multiple sets of material-push rods to poke the material inside the material distribution hopper, so that the material inside the material distribution hopper is quickly filled into the filling cylinder, improving filling efficiency.

[0023] 2. This utility model improves filling efficiency by installing a vibrator at the lower end of the filling hopper, which vibrates the lower end of the filling hopper, allowing the soft candy inside the filling hopper to be quickly discharged into the distribution hopper, and then filled into the filling cylinder by the distribution hopper.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1 to 5 The illustrated bottom-pump type soft candy filling equipment includes an equipment box 1. A filling hopper 15 is fixedly connected to the left front side of the upper surface of the equipment box 1. A vibrator 16 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the discharge end of the filling hopper 15. Multiple sets of inclined support plates 17 are fixedly connected at the connection between the filling hopper 15 and the upper wall of the equipment box 1. A feed inlet 11 is opened on the front wall of the equipment box 1. A feeding conveyor belt 12 is arranged inside the feed inlet 11. A discharge outlet 13 is opened on the right side wall of the equipment box 1. A discharge conveyor belt 14 is arranged inside the discharge outlet 13. A filling assembly is arranged inside the equipment box 1. The filling assembly includes a positioning frustum 2, a worktable 22, a processing tank 23, a filling cylinder 24, a distributing hopper 25, a lifting plate 3, a hydraulic cylinder 32, and a pumping rod 36. An electric motor 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the equipment box 1. The output end of the electric motor 18 is fixedly connected to the center of the worktable 22.

[0033] The filling hopper 15 is used to store materials. An electric valve is installed inside the discharge port at its lower end to facilitate the control of the discharge volume. During the filling process, the filling cylinder 24 is first moved to the upper side of the workbench 22 by the feeding conveyor belt 12. At this time, the electric motor 18 drives the workbench 22 to rotate, moving the filling cylinder 24 to the lower side of the filling hopper 15 for filling. During the filling process, the vibrator 16 vibrates the lower end of the filling hopper 15 to increase the discharge speed of the filling hopper 15.

[0034] Furthermore, because the filling hole in the filling cylinder 24 is relatively small, the filling hopper 15 first quickly discharges the material into the upper distribution hopper 25, which has a larger material outlet. Then, the distribution hopper 25 discharges the material into the filling cylinder 24. This shortens the time for each discharge by the filling hopper 15, thereby reducing the intermittent time between the feeding conveyor belt 12, the discharging conveyor belt 14, and the worktable 22. This allows the distribution hopper 25 on the upper side of the filling cylinder 24 to quickly move to the lower side of the filling hopper 15 to receive the material. After all the filling candies are discharged into the distribution hopper 25, the distribution hopper 25 continuously fills the filling cylinder 24 with candies during its movement. Multiple sets of material-poke rods 36 are used to poke out any sticky candies. The filling process can be completed before the filling cylinder 24 moves to the discharging conveyor belt 14, effectively improving the filling efficiency.

[0035] See Figures 2 to 4 The positioning frustum 2 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the equipment box 1. The front and right sides of the positioning frustum 2 are provided with mounting grooves 21. The inner ends of the feeding conveyor belt 12 and the discharging conveyor belt 14 are both set inside the mounting grooves 21. The worktable 22 is rotatably connected to the interior of the positioning frustum 2. Eight processing grooves 23 are provided at the edge of the upper surface of the worktable 22. The filling cylinder 24 is set inside the processing groove 23. The upper side of each of the eight processing grooves 23 is provided with a material distribution hopper 25. The lower end of the filling hopper 15 is located on the upper side of the left front material distribution hopper 25. The side of the material distribution hopper 25 is fixedly connected with a support frame 26. The lower end of the support frame 26 is fixedly connected to the surface of the worktable 22.

[0036] Specifically, pressure sensors are installed at the upper end of the support frame 26 to detect the weight of the material inside the dispensing hopper 25. During the filling process, the electric motor 18 moves the empty filling cylinder 24 on the surface of the workbench 22 to the lower side of the filling hopper 15. At this time, the valve and vibrator 16 at the lower end of the filling hopper 15 are activated. The vibrator 16 drives the lower end of the filling hopper 15 to vibrate, quickly discharging the soft candy inside into the dispensing hopper 25. At this time, the pressure sensor at the upper end of the support frame 26 monitors the weight of the soft candy inside the dispensing hopper 25. When the weight of the soft candy reaches the specified standard, the controller closes the valve and vibrator 16 at the lower end of the filling hopper 15. During the intermittent rotation of the workbench 22, the dispensing hopper 25 slowly fills the soft candy inside into the filling cylinder 24.

[0037] See Figure 2 and Figure 5The lifting plate 3 is located on the upper side of the four-group feeding hopper 25 at the rear. The lifting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the feeding rod 36 at the axis of the four-group feeding hopper 25. The lifting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the lifting plate 3. The lifting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the first connecting plate 31. The hydraulic cylinder 32 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the equipment box 1 at the rear side of the positioning frustum 2. The upper end of the piston rod in the hydraulic cylinder 32 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the first connecting plate 31. Multiple sets of linear guide rails 35 are fixedly connected between the top wall and the bottom wall of the equipment box 1. The rear ends of the four sets of second connecting plates 33 are fixedly connected to the positioning sleeves 34. The positioning sleeves 34 are slidably connected to the linear guide rails 35.

[0038] In addition, as the workbench 22 rotates, the filling cylinder 24 and the distributing hopper 25 will be moved to the lower end of the material-pumping rod 36. At this time, the piston rod in the hydraulic cylinder 32 drives the first connecting plate 31 to move downward, which in turn drives the lifting plate 3 to move downward. The lifting plate 3 drives multiple sets of material-pumping rods 36 to move downward at the same time, thereby simultaneously tamping the inside of multiple sets of distributing hoppers 25 and clearing the inside of the distributing hoppers 25, so that the material inside the distributing hoppers 25 can be quickly poured into the filling cylinder 24.

[0039] Furthermore, during the up-and-down sliding process, the lifting plate 3 will drive the positioning sleeve 34 to slide up and down on the surface of the linear guide rail 35 through the second connecting plate 33, thereby improving the stability of the lifting plate 3 and the material feeding rod 36 during the lifting process.

[0040] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The electric motor 18 drives the worktable 22 to rotate, moving the filling cylinder 24 to the lower side of the filling hopper 15 for filling. After filling is completed, the hydraulic cylinder 32 and the lifting plate 3 work together to drive multiple sets of material-push rods 36 to poke the material inside the distribution hopper 25, so that the material inside the distribution hopper 25 is quickly filled into the filling cylinder 24, improving filling efficiency. At the same time, by installing a vibrator 16 at the lower end of the filling hopper 15, the vibrator 16 vibrates the lower end of the filling hopper 15, so that the soft candy inside the filling hopper 15 can be quickly discharged into the distribution hopper 25, and then the distribution hopper 25 fills it into the filling cylinder 24, further improving filling efficiency.

[0041] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
