[0002] Hard candy is a type of candy made by boiling at high temperatures. It has a high content of dry solids and is hard and brittle, hence the name hard candy. It has an amorphous, non-crystalline structure, melts slowly in the mouth, and is chewy. The candy can be transparent, translucent, or opaque, and some can be drawn into a silky texture. During the processing of hard candy, the boiled and prepared sugar syrup is poured into a molding mold and cooled to form the desired shape of the hard candy.

[0032] Working Principle: This utility model is equipped with an installation base plate 1, an installation platform 3, a moving platform 5, and a flexible silicone plate 24. Four support columns 2 are welded to the top surface of the installation base plate 1, and the installation platform 3 is welded to the top of each support column 2. An insulation box 4 is welded to the top surface of the installation platform 3. A sugar syrup box 21 is welded to the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the insulation box 4, and several pouring pipes 18 are connected to the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the sugar syrup box 21. A pouring head 10 is integrally installed at the bottom end of each pouring pipe 18. A flow meter 19 and a solenoid valve 22 are installed on each pouring pipe 18. Several heaters 16 are symmetrically installed on the inner wall of the insulation box 4, and a temperature sensor 17 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the insulation box 4. An oil inlet pipe 11 is connected to one side of the inner cavity of the insulation box 4, and an oil inlet pipe 11 is installed on the oil inlet pipe 11. Equipped with an oil inlet valve 12, the insulation box 4 has an oil outlet pipe 13 connected to the other side of its inner cavity, and an oil outlet valve 14 is installed on the oil outlet pipe 13. Before use, the user can open the oil inlet pipe 11 to introduce the heat transfer oil into the inner cavity of the insulation box 4 and then close the oil inlet pipe 11. Then, the user can start the heater 16 through the control panel to heat the heat transfer oil. The temperature sensor 17 can monitor the heating temperature of the heat transfer oil to ensure that the sugar liquid material is kept in a molten state. The sugar liquid material enters the inner cavity of the sugar box 21 through the feed pipe 9 to maintain a molten state. A fixing plate 6 is welded to one side of the top surface of the mounting base plate 1, and an electric push rod 7 is bolted to the fixing plate 6. A connecting plate 25 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric push rod 7. The connecting plate 25 is symmetrically welded on one side. A guide slide rod 8 is provided, and guide sleeves 26 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the fixed plate 6, with the guide slide rod 8 sleeved inside the guide sleeves 26. A connecting plate 25 is welded to one side wall of the moving platform 5. Several metal molds 20 are uniformly fixedly installed inside the moving platform 5. Several silicone molds 28 are integrally formed on the flexible silicone plate 24. In use, the worker can lay the flexible silicone plate 24 on the moving platform 5 and make the silicone molds 28 correspondingly embedded in the metal molds 20. Under the push of the electric push rod 7, the moving platform 5 can be moved along the direction of the guide slide rod 8. When the silicone mold 28 moves to directly below the pouring head 10, the electric push rod 7 stops working. At this time, the control panel activates the solenoid valve 22, so that the molten sugar liquid material passes through the pouring pipe 18 and the pouring head 10. The first 10 pieces are inserted into the silicone mold 28. A flow meter 19 controls the amount of sugar syrup poured at one time, enabling rapid automatic pouring of hard candy. A cooling chamber 27 is provided within the moving stage 5. A cold water inlet pipe 23 is connected to one side of the cooling chamber 27, and a cold water outlet pipe 15 is connected to the other side. After all the silicone molds 28 have been filled, a water injection device is connected to the cold water inlet pipe 23, and a water receiving device is connected to the cold water outlet pipe 15. By injecting circulating cold water into the cooling chamber 27, the sugar syrup material is rapidly cooled, quickly forming hard candy. Once formed, the hard candy can be removed from the flexible silicone plate 24. Utilizing the soft properties of food-grade silicone, the hard candy can be quickly extruded from the silicone mold 28.This design allows users to quickly demold and unmold the formed hard candy, improving processing efficiency and enhancing practicality.
