The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0029] like Figure 1-3As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a roll forming device for candy processing includes a frame 10, a roll forming assembly 20, a conveying assembly 30, an embossing assembly 40, and a cutting assembly 50. The frame 10 is provided with an inlet 11 and an outlet 12. The conveying assembly 30 is disposed on the frame 10 near the inlet 11. The roll forming assembly 20 is disposed on both sides of the conveying assembly 30. The embossing assembly 40 is disposed on one side of the roll forming assembly 20. The cutting assembly 50 is disposed near the outlet 12. The material outlet 12 is located on one side of the embossing assembly 40; the conveying assembly 30 is provided with a heating plate 31 and a cold cutting plate 32. The heating plate 31 is located between the roller pressing assembly 20 and the embossing assembly 40, and the cold cutting plate 32 is located between the embossing assembly 40 and the cutting assembly 50. The heating plate 31 is used for roller pressing of the roller pressing assembly 20 and the embossing assembly 40, and the cold cutting plate 32 is used for cutting of the cutting assembly 50, and the material is discharged through the material outlet 12. In this embodiment, the synergistic cooperation between the roller pressing assembly 20 and the embossing assembly 40 effectively completes the candy forming and pattern pressing processes. The heating plate 31 on the conveying assembly 30 is located between the roller pressing and embossing processes, ensuring that the candy material maintains suitable plasticity before embossing, thereby improving the accuracy and quality of pattern forming. The cold cutting plate 32 allows the embossed candy to cool and solidify quickly, providing a suitable material state for the subsequent cutting process. Through the alternating heating and cooling process, both processing efficiency and the shape stability of the finished candy are ensured. The cutting assembly 50 is located near the discharge port 12, which can cut the continuously formed candy into standard sizes and complete the finished product output through the discharge port 12. The structure is compact and the process is smooth, realizing the continuity and automation of the candy processing process, significantly improving production efficiency and product consistency, and is highly practical.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, two sets of roller pressing assemblies 20 are provided, and the two sets of roller pressing assemblies 20 are respectively arranged on both sides of the heating plate 31. Roller pressing assemblies 20 are provided with roller pressing adjustment elements 21. In this embodiment, by symmetrically distributing the roller pressing assemblies 20 on both sides of the heating plate 31, the problem of uneven product thickness caused by unilateral pressure is effectively avoided; while the setting of roller pressing adjustment elements 21 enables the equipment to have precise pressure control capability. Operators can flexibly adjust the roller pressing parameters according to the characteristics of different candy raw materials (such as viscosity and extensibility). Through the synergistic effect of the heating plate 31 and the roller pressing assemblies 20, the candy completes plastic deformation at a suitable temperature, which not only ensures the molding quality, but also avoids the problem of candy sticking due to excessive temperature.

[0031] The rolling assembly 20 includes a rolling frame 22, a first guide roller 23, and a second guide roller 24. The first guide roller 23 and the second guide roller 24 are sequentially mounted on the rolling frame 22. A slide rail 221 is provided on the inner wall of the rolling frame 22, and the first guide roller 23 moves along the slide rail 221 toward the second guide roller 24. In this embodiment, the first guide roller 23 and the second guide roller 24 are mounted on the rolling frame 22, forming a stable rolling structure. The slide rail 221 on the inner wall of the rolling frame 22 allows the first guide roller 23 to move flexibly along the slide rail 221 toward the second guide roller 24, achieving adjustable spacing between the two guide rollers, ensuring the stability of the rolling process, and allowing adjustment of the rolling gap according to different candy processing requirements, thus improving equipment adaptability.

[0032] A roller pressing adjustment element 21 is disposed on the slide rail 221 near the first guide roller 23. The roller pressing adjustment element 21 is used to adjust the gap between the first guide roller 23 and the second guide roller 24 to form roller pressing channels 25 of different sizes. The roller pressing channels 25 are used for rolling candies. In this embodiment, by setting the adjustment element on the slide rail 221 and adjacent to the first guide roller 23, the operator can easily adjust the distance between the first guide roller 23 and the second guide roller 24 to meet the processing requirements of candies of different thicknesses and improve production efficiency.

The external design of the embossing control box 42 facilitates parameter adjustment by the operator and avoids vibration interference during equipment operation. Furthermore, the coordinated work of the first embossing guide roller 43 and the second embossing guide roller 44 can uniformly press the candy raw materials to form the required texture and thickness. The structure is compact and reasonable, with close cooperation among the components, effectively improving the molding accuracy and production efficiency of candy products, and is highly practical.

[0035] A first embossing sleeve 431 is fitted onto a first embossing guide roller 43, and a second embossing sleeve 441 is fitted onto a second embossing guide roller 44.

[0036] A slider 411 is provided on the inner wall of the embossing assembly frame 41, and an elastic element 412 is provided on the slider 411. One end of the first embossing guide roller 43 passes through the slider 411, and the slider 411 drives the first embossing guide roller 43 to perform elastic embossing through the elastic element 412. In this embodiment, the elastic embossing function of the first embossing guide roller 43 is realized through the cooperation of the slider 411 and the elastic element 412. The slider 411 is provided on the inner wall, which can drive the first embossing guide roller 43 to move flexibly, while the elastic element 412 provides the necessary buffer and pressure adjustment for the embossing process. This allows the embossing guide roller to automatically adjust the embossing force according to the thickness and hardness of different candy materials, ensuring a uniform embossing effect. The setting of the elastic element 412 effectively avoids the problem of unstable embossing quality caused by uneven material thickness or equipment vibration, improves the molding accuracy and appearance quality of candy products, is easy to operate, and can adapt to various candy processing needs.
