Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extruder technology, specifically to a molding die for a sugar paste extruder. Background Technology

[0002] Sugar paste extruder is one of the pieces of equipment used in the candy production process. It can extrude sugar paste into shape through a molding die, forming a continuous sugar strip that matches the shape of the die hole, which is convenient for subsequent processing.

[0003] In the prior art, the forming mold of the sugar paste extruder is usually connected to the end of the extruder's feeding pipe. The sugar paste is conveyed to the forming mold through the extruder's feeding mechanism. After the candy passes through the mold hole in the forming mold, it can form a continuous sugar strip with the same shape as the mold hole, and then be put into the subsequent production process.

[0004] However, since the forming die is usually a frustum structure with one end having a larger diameter than the other, and both the larger diameter end of the forming die and the end of the extruder's feeding pipe have annular flanges, the die and the pipe are connected together by multiple bolts arranged circumferentially to complete the die installation. This connection structure requires workers to remove and install multiple bolts simultaneously to disassemble and reassemble the die, which is obviously inconvenient and time-consuming. Therefore, this invention proposes a forming die for a sugar paste extruder to effectively solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a molding die for a sugar paste extruder, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a molding die for a sugar paste extruder, comprising a die head, the die head being used for the extruder body, the extruder body having a feeding pipe fixedly mounted thereon, one end of the die head being detachably fitted onto the end of the feeding pipe, a plurality of positioning protrusions arranged on the outer circumference of the end of the feeding pipe, a plurality of positioning grooves adapted to the shape of the positioning protrusions being opened on the inner sidewall of one end of the die head, the plurality of positioning grooves and the plurality of positioning protrusions being arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and a limiting component being provided on the outer sidewall of the die head facing the plurality of positioning grooves; when the positioning protrusion is embedded in the positioning groove, the limiting component can limit the positioning protrusion to connect the die head and the feeding pipe.

[0007] Optionally, both the positioning groove and the positioning protrusion have an isosceles trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, with the positioning protrusion nested within the positioning groove.

[0008] Optionally, the limiting component includes a fixed seat fixedly connected to the outside of the mold head. The fixed seat has a movable groove radially formed inside the mold head. The end of the movable groove facing the inside of the mold head is open and communicates with the positioning groove. A limiting rod is slidably arranged radially inside the movable groove. A limiting groove is formed on the positioning protrusion. One end of the limiting rod can extend into the limiting groove to limit the positioning protrusion. The end of the limiting rod extending into the limiting groove has a wedge-shaped structure.

[0009] Optionally, one end of the limiting rod located in the movable groove is elastically connected to the movable groove radially along the mold head, and the limiting rod is always subjected to the elastic force that moves radially toward the inside of the mold head.

[0010] Optionally, one end of the limiting rod located in the movable groove is fixedly provided with an extension rod. The extension rod is distributed along the axial direction of the mold head and extends out of the outside of the fixed seat. The fixed seat is provided with a sliding groove along the radial direction of the mold head for the extension rod to slide and connect. The sliding groove and the movable groove are connected.

[0011] Optionally, a drive ring is rotatably fitted on the outer side of the mold head. An arc-shaped groove is provided on the drive ring. One end of the extension rod extending out of the fixed seat is located in the arc-shaped groove. The distance between one end of the arc-shaped groove and the center of the drive ring is less than the distance between the other end and the center of the drive ring.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a molding die for a sugar paste extruder, which has the following beneficial effects: This invention achieves initial positioning and installation of the mold head through the cooperation of a dovetail-shaped positioning groove and a positioning protrusion. While the positioning protrusion is embedded in the positioning groove, the limiting component limits the positioning protrusion, preventing it from detaching from the positioning groove, thus quickly completing the installation of the mold head. Furthermore, during disassembly, simply rotating the drive ring moves the limiting rod away from the limiting groove, allowing the positioning protrusion to detach from the positioning groove, quickly completing the disassembly of the mold head and making the assembly and disassembly process of the molding mold more convenient and efficient.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 This application provides a molding die for a sugar paste extruder, including a die head 1. The die head 1 is used for the extruder body 2. A feeding pipe 201 is fixedly provided on the extruder body 2. One end of the die head 1 is detachably sleeved on the end of the feeding pipe 201. The inner diameter of the die head 1 near the end of the feeding pipe 201 is equal to the outer diameter of the feeding pipe 201, so that the feeding pipe 201 can be embedded in the inner side of the die head 1.

[0017] A number of positioning protrusions 202 are arranged on the outer circumference of the end of the feeding pipe 201. A number of positioning grooves 101 with shapes matching the positioning protrusions 202 are opened on the inner side wall of one end of the mold head 1. The positioning grooves 101 and the positioning protrusions 202 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The side of the positioning groove 101 facing the feeding pipe 201 is open to allow the positioning protrusions 202 to slide into the positioning groove 101. The positioning protrusions 202 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the feeding pipe 201 at equal intervals to cooperate with the positioning grooves 101 to position the mold head 1, complete the initial installation of the mold head 1, and prevent the mold head 1 from rotating.

[0018] On the other hand, both the positioning groove 101 and the positioning protrusion 202 have isosceles trapezoidal cross-sectional shapes, with the positioning protrusion 202 nested within the positioning groove 101. The width of the opening of the positioning groove 101 near the inner side of the mold head 1 is smaller than the width of the sidewall of the positioning groove 101 near the outer side of the mold head 1, to make the connection between the positioning protrusion 202 and the positioning groove 101 more secure. Furthermore, sealing gaskets are fixedly adhered to the inner sidewalls of both the positioning groove 101 and the mold head 1, ensuring a tight seal between the mold head 1 and the feeding pipe 201 after connection, preventing sugar paste leakage.

[0019] Furthermore, limiting components 3 are provided on the outer wall of the mold head 1 at several positioning grooves 101. When the positioning protrusion 202 is inserted into the positioning groove 101, the limiting components 3 can limit the positioning protrusion 202 to connect the mold head 1 and the feeding pipe 201. Using the limiting components 3 instead of bolts to connect and fix the mold head 1 and the feeding pipe 201 makes the assembly and disassembly of the mold head 1 more convenient and faster.

[0020] Specifically, the limiting component 3 includes a fixed base 301 fixedly connected to the outside of the mold head 1. The fixed base 301 has a movable groove 302 radially formed inside the mold head 1. One end of the movable groove 302 facing the inside of the mold head 1 is open and communicates with the positioning groove 101. A limiting rod 303 is slidably provided radially within the movable groove 302, allowing one end of the limiting rod 303 to slide from the movable groove 302 to the inside of the positioning groove 101. A limiting groove 203 is formed on the positioning protrusion 202. One end of the limiting rod 303 can extend into the limiting groove 203 to limit the positioning protrusion 202. When one end of the limiting rod 303 extends into the limiting groove 203, the positioning protrusion 202 cannot detach from the positioning groove 101, thus completing the connection and fixation between the mold head 1 and the feeding pipe 201.

[0021] It should be noted that one end of the limiting rod 303 located within the movable groove 302 is elastically connected radially to the movable groove 302 along the mold head 1. The limiting rod 303 is always subjected to an elastic force that moves radially toward the inside of the mold head 1. Figure 5 As shown, one end of the limiting rod 303 located in the movable groove 302 is connected to an I-shaped connector. A flange is fixedly provided on the inner side wall of the movable groove 302. The connector passes through the flange radially along the mold head 1. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the connector. The upper and lower ends of the spring abut against the bottom surface of the flange and the connector, respectively. In its natural state, the spring is in a compressed state so that the connector is always subjected to the elastic force that moves outward in the movable groove 302, thereby so that the limiting rod 303 is always subjected to the elastic force that moves inward in the direction of the mold head 1, so that the limiting rod 303 can be more stable after it extends into the limiting groove 203.

[0022] The limiting rod 303 has a wedge-shaped end that extends into the limiting groove 203. The width of the limiting rod 303 matches the width of the limiting groove 203. When the mold head 1 slides and is fitted onto the feeding pipe 201 along the axial direction of the feeding pipe 201, the inclined surface at the bottom of the limiting rod 303 will contact the end of the feeding pipe 201, causing the limiting rod 303 to move upward until the positioning protrusion 202 is completely embedded in the positioning groove 101. At this time, the limiting rod 303 and the limiting groove 203 are aligned, and the limiting rod 303 will spring into the limiting groove 203 under the action of the spring. The side wall of the limiting rod 303 will be parallel and fit against the side wall of the limiting groove 203, so that the positioning protrusion 202 cannot be dislodged from the positioning groove 101, thereby completing the installation operation of the mold head 1.

[0023] In order to make the mold head 1 more stable and not shake when it is used, in this application, the end of the limiting rod 303 that extends into the limiting groove 203 is a permanent magnet, so that the limiting rod 303 can be magnetically connected in the limiting groove 203, thereby making the connection more firm and stable.

[0024] Furthermore, an extension rod 304 is fixedly mounted on one end of the limiting rod 303 within the movable groove 302. The limiting rod 303 and the extension rod 304 are fixedly connected by an I-shaped connector. The extension rod 304 is distributed axially along the mold head 1 and extends outward from the fixed base 301. The fixed base 301 has a sliding groove 305 radially provided along the mold head 1 for the extension rod 304 to slide. The sliding groove 305 and the movable groove 302 are connected so that when the extension rod 304 moves radially along the mold head 1 within the sliding groove 305, it can drive the limiting rod 303 to move radially along the mold head 1 within the movable groove 302. This facilitates the disassembly of the mold head 1 by the operator controlling the movement of the extension rod 304.

[0025] It is worth mentioning that a drive ring 4 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the mold head 1. The drive ring 4 has an arc-shaped groove 401. One end of the extension rod 304 extending out of the fixed seat 301 is located in the arc-shaped groove 401. The distance between one end of the arc-shaped groove 401 and the center of the drive ring 4 is smaller than the distance between the other end and the center of the drive ring 4. This allows the drive ring 4 to drive the extension rod 304 from one end of the arc-shaped groove 401 to the other end when the drive ring 4 rotates, thereby enabling the extension rod 304 to move from one end of the slide groove 305 to the other end, and thus driving the limiting rod 303 to enter or move away from the limiting groove 203.

[0026] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, the drive ring 4 has an annular sleeve protruding outward on the side away from the feeding pipe 201. The annular sleeve is rotatably fitted onto the outside of the mold head 1, and a through hole is provided on the annular sleeve. A pin groove is provided on the outer wall of the mold head 1 corresponding to the through hole. A bolt or spring pin is used to pass through the through hole and extend into the pin groove to fix the drive ring 4 and prevent the drive ring 4 from rotating when the mold head 1 is in use.

[0027] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When installing the mold head 1, align the positioning groove 101 with the positioning protrusion 202, so that the mold head 1 is axially fitted onto the end of the feeding pipe 201 along the extruder body 2. When the positioning protrusion 202 is fully embedded in the positioning groove 101, the limiting rod 303 will extend into the limiting groove 203 under the action of the spring, and complete the limiting of the positioning protrusion 202 under the action of elastic force and magnetic attraction, thereby completing the installation operation of the mold head 1. When disassembling the mold head 1, simply rotate the drive ring 4 to move the extension rod 304 from one end of the arc groove 401 near the annular end of the mold head 1 to the other end, so that the limiting rod 303 can be disengaged from the limiting groove 203, thereby allowing the mold head 1 to be quickly disassembled.
