Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of confectionery production technology, specifically to a feeding device for producing compressed confectionery tablets. Background Technology

[0002] Compressed candy is a type of solid candy with a specific shape and dosage, made primarily from sugars or sugar alcohols, with or without the addition of other food ingredients, food additives, and nutritional fortifiers, through processes such as mixing, granulation, drying, and compression molding.

[0003] Currently, in the process of transporting and feeding compressed candies, inclined conveyors are generally used to feed the compressed candies as a whole. However, during the transport of compressed candies on inclined conveyors, they are usually in an irregular scattered state on the conveyor belt. Under this unrestrained and irregular transport state, the compressed candies are more likely to shake around under the vibration and tilting action of the conveyor belt. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose a feeding device for producing compressed candy, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a feeding device for producing compressed candy, including a device frame, a conveying platform on the device frame, an inclined conveyor fixedly installed on the device frame, a conveyor belt on the inclined conveyor, a plurality of baffles on the conveyor belt, a fixed frame fixedly connected to the inclined conveyor, a constraint component on the fixed frame, and a manual adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the constraint component on the fixed frame.

[0006] Preferably, the constraint component includes a strip groove formed inside the fixed frame, a displacement slide is slidably connected in the strip groove, and a push plate is fixedly connected to the end of the displacement slide away from the fixed frame. The constraint component can create a relatively fixed guide channel for the compressed candy.

[0007] Preferably, a spring is provided on the outer surface of the push plate, and a constraint plate is fixedly connected to the end of the spring away from the push plate.

[0008] Preferably, the manual adjustment mechanism includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to a fixed frame, a turntable is provided at the end of the rotating shaft away from the fixed frame, and a drive gear is fixedly connected at the end of the rotating shaft away from the turntable. The position of the two sets of constraint plates in the constraint assembly can be adjusted by the manual adjustment mechanism to change the distance between the two sets of constraint plates.

[0009] Preferably, a threaded cylinder is rotatably connected to the fixed frame, and a transmission gear is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded cylinder near the drive gear, with the outer surface of the transmission gear meshing with the outer surface of the drive gear.

[0010] Preferably, the inner surface of the threaded cylinder is threaded with a threaded rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the displacement slide.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This feeding device for producing compressed candy features two sets of adjustable-spaced constraint plates that create a relatively fixed guide channel for the compressed candy. This channel acts like a carefully planned "transportation track," allowing the candy to move naturally longitudinally along the channel during the feeding process. In this way, the relative positions of the candies remain stable, reducing shaking and collisions, effectively minimizing candy breakage caused by collisions, and ensuring the integrity and quality of the compressed candy during transportation.

[0013] 2. The feeding device for producing compressed candy uses springs to elastically support the constraint plate, allowing it to self-adapt to a certain extent according to the actual shape and size of the candy. When encountering candies with irregular shapes or large sizes, the constraint plate can be appropriately retracted under the action of the springs to provide a more fitting constraint for the candy, avoiding excessive compression and ensuring that all kinds of candies can be stably fixed in the right position, while protecting the integrity and quality of the candy.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-3 A feeding device for producing compressed candy includes a frame 1, a conveyor platform 2 on the frame 1, an inclined conveyor 3 fixedly installed on the frame 1, a conveyor belt 4 on the inclined conveyor 3, a plurality of baffles 5 evenly distributed on the conveyor belt 4 to prevent the compressed candy from sliding down, a fixed frame 6 fixedly connected to the inclined conveyor 3, a constraint component on the fixed frame 6, and a manual adjustment mechanism for adjusting the position of the constraint component on the fixed frame 6.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, during the use of the device, the compressed candy is conveyed on the conveyor platform 2. It is necessary to manually place the compressed candy from the conveyor platform 2 onto the conveyor belt 4 of the inclined conveyor 3 for feeding. During this period, the manual adjustment mechanism and constraint components can guide and constrain different types of compressed candy during transportation, ensuring the relative stability of the candy in the lateral position during transportation.

[0021] Specifically, the constraint component includes a strip groove 7 formed inside the fixed frame 6, a displacement slide 8 slidably connected in the strip groove 7, and a push plate 9 fixedly connected to the end of the displacement slide 8 away from the fixed frame 6.

[0022] Through the above technical solution, two sets of strip grooves 7 are provided inside the fixed frame 6. Their cooperation plays a role in relatively limiting the displacement slide 8, so that it maintains a stable trajectory to push and pull the push plate 9.

[0023] Specifically, a spring 10 is provided on the outer surface of the push plate 9, and a constraint plate 11 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 10 away from the push plate 9.

[0024] Through the above technical solution, during the process of being pushed and pulled, the push plate 9 will move synchronously with the constraint plate 11 through the spring 10. The elastic resistance of the spring 10 to the constraint plate 11 means that the constraint plate 11 can have a certain adaptive adjustment capability and can absorb and disperse energy through the elastic deformation of the spring 10.

[0025] Specifically, the manual adjustment mechanism includes a rotating shaft 12 rotatably connected to the fixed frame 6, a rotating disk 13 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft 12 away from the fixed frame 6, and a drive gear 14 is fixedly connected at the end of the rotating shaft 12 away from the rotating disk 13.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, manually rotating the turntable 13 can drive the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive gear 14 to rotate. During this process, the drive gear 14 can also rotate synchronously with the transmission gear 16 that meshes with it.

[0027] Specifically, a threaded cylinder 15 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 6, and a transmission gear 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the threaded cylinder 15 near the drive gear 14, and the outer surface of the transmission gear 16 meshes with the outer surface of the drive gear 14.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, the threaded cylinder 15 has a threaded groove inside that matches the threaded rod 17. Therefore, when the threaded cylinder 15 is driven by the transmission gear 16 to rotate, the threaded rod 17 can be driven to push forward.

[0029] Specifically, the inner surface of the threaded cylinder 15 is threaded with a threaded rod 17, and one end of the threaded rod 17 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the displacement slide 8.

[0030] Through the above technical solution, the shifting slide 8 plays a relative limiting role on the threaded rod 17, so that the threaded rod 17 will not rotate, but can only cooperate with the rotation of the threaded cylinder 15 to push the threaded rod 17 forward along a fixed trajectory.

[0031] Working principle: During operation, the compressed candy is conveyed on the conveyor platform 2. Manual loading is required, where the candy is placed from the platform 2 onto the conveyor belt 4 of the inclined conveyor 3. During this process, two sets of rotating discs 13 can be manually rotated, driving the corresponding drive gears 14 via the rotating shaft 12. The drive gears 14, in turn, drive the meshing transmission gears 16 to rotate synchronously, thereby causing the threaded cylinder 15 to rotate. Due to the relative restraint of the shifting slide 8 and the strip groove 7, the threaded cylinder 15, during its rotation, drives the threaded rod 17 to gradually pass through the threaded cylinder 15 at different positions on its surface. 5. The threaded rod 17 pushes the shifting slide 8 forward, causing it to slide smoothly along the strip groove 7. Both the shifting slide 8 and the threaded rod 17 pass through the fixed frame 6 and move synchronously. During the process of the shifting slide 8 pushing the pusher plate 9 forward, it will push the constraint plate 11 synchronously through the spring 10. That is, the two sets of constraint plates 11 will gradually move closer on the conveyor belt 4 until they are adjusted to a suitable distance. This design is because it is considered that during the operation of the inclined conveyor 3, the compressed candy is easily displaced laterally due to the influence of gravity and possible vibration. The two sets of adjustable-distance constraint plates 11, as well as the two sets of adjustable-distance constraint plates 11, can help prevent this. Like precisely positioned "boundary guards," the candy is solidly blocked from both sides. Because the constraint plate 11 is parallel to the inclined conveyor 3 and the spacing can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, it ensures a proper constraint relationship between the constraint plate 11 and the candy, regardless of the size or shape of the compressed candy or the volume of transport. The parallel arrangement of the constraint plate 11 cleverly creates a relatively fixed guiding channel for the compressed candy. This channel acts like a carefully planned "transportation track," providing clear path guidance for the movement of the candy. Under the continuous action of gravity and the movement of the inclined conveyor 3... Under these conditions, the compressed candies will naturally move longitudinally along this channel, avoiding collisions, accumulation, or scattering caused by loss of direction. This can significantly improve the scattering state of the compressed candies on the inclined conveyor 3. The elastic resistance of the spring 10 to the constraint plate 11 is to take into account that the shape and size of the candies may vary. The elastically supported constraint plate 11 can better adapt to these changes. The elasticity of the spring 10 allows the constraint plate 11 to make a certain degree of adaptive adjustment according to the actual shape and size of the candies, providing a more fitting constraint and ensuring that all kinds of candies can be stably fixed in the right position, reducing the shaking of the candies.
