[0002] The milk candy forming and cutting machine belongs to the field of confectionery processing equipment. It is mainly used to shape, extrude, and cut cooked milk candy syrup into uniformly sized milk candy blocks. This equipment can complete the forming and cutting of liquid syrup into solid milk candy in a continuous production process, and is one of the key pieces of equipment in a confectionery production line.
[0003] Existing candy forming and cutting equipment typically includes a feeding mechanism, an extrusion forming mechanism, and a cutting mechanism. Syrup enters the extrusion chamber through the feeding hopper, is extruded into strips under extrusion pressure, and then cut to a fixed length by the cutting mechanism. Existing equipment often uses gravity feeding or screw conveying, which does not adequately agitate the syrup entering the extrusion chamber.
[0004] Because the existing structure lacks a stirring device in the feeding section, localized solidification and stratification easily occur when the milk candy syrup cools to a high viscosity state. This leads to uneven material flow into the extrusion chamber, resulting in unstable molding pressure and inconsistent density of the finished product blocks. Furthermore, syrup adhering to the area around the feeding inlet can easily cause blockages, requiring manual intervention and impacting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, the present invention provides a candy forming and cutting integrated machine, including a support structure 100, a forming device 200 on the support structure 100, and a cutting mechanism 300 at the end of the forming device 200.
[0022] The support structure 100 includes a base 101, on which a support block 102 is fixedly connected. A support seat 103 is provided on one side of the support block 102, and the support seat 103 is fixedly connected to the base 101. A molding device 200 is fixedly connected to the support block 102. This structure provides stable support, enabling the molding device 200 to maintain balance and precise positioning during operation.
[0023] The molding device 200 includes a guide pipe 201, which is fixedly connected to the support block 102. A first motor 203 is fixedly connected to the support base 103. A first rotating shaft 204 passes through the guide pipe 201, and after passing through the end cap of the guide pipe 201, the first rotating shaft 204 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 203. A spiral blade 205 is fixedly connected to a section of the first rotating shaft 204 inside the guide pipe 201. The spiral blade 205 can continuously push the milk candy syrup into the extrusion tube 202, thereby achieving quantitative conveying and improving feeding stability. A first gear 208 is also fixedly connected to the end of the first rotating shaft 204 near the first motor 203. This gear serves as the power transmission hub and is used to drive the subsequent stirring mechanism to rotate synchronously, realizing continuous stirring and feeding actions. The upper end of the guide pipe 201 is fixedly connected to a feeding bin 206. The feeding bin 206 includes a side plate 207 near one end of the first motor 203. A fixed shaft 209 is fixedly connected to the side plate 207, and a second gear 211 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 209 via a bearing. A second rotating shaft 212 and a third rotating shaft 214 are installed inside the feeding bin 206. Both ends of the second rotating shaft 212 and the third rotating shaft 214 are rotatably connected to the side wall of the feeding bin 206 via bearings. A stirring blade 210 is fixedly connected to a section of the second rotating shaft 212 and the third rotating shaft 214 located inside the feeding bin 206. By setting a dual-shaft stirring structure, a cross flow field can be formed, which can make the milk candy syrup fully mixed, prevent local deposition or clumping, and improve the mixing uniformity. A third gear 213 is fixedly connected to one end of the second rotating shaft 212 near the side plate 207, and a fourth gear 215 is fixedly connected to one end of the third rotating shaft 214 near the side plate 207. The first gear 208 meshes with the second gear 211, the second gear 211 meshes with the third gear 213, and the third gear 213 meshes with the fourth gear 215. This multi-stage gear transmission structure enables single-motor drive of multiple shafts, reducing energy consumption and simplifying the transmission system layout. An extrusion pipe 202 is fixedly connected to the end of the guide pipe 201. The extrusion pipe 202 is used to limit the cross-section of the milk candy material flow outlet, ensuring a consistent forming cross-section and providing dimensional accuracy for subsequent cutting. A cutting mechanism 300 is provided at the end of the extrusion pipe 202.
[0024] The cutting mechanism 300 includes a support plate 301, which is fixedly connected to the base 101. Two fourth rotating shafts 310 are rotatably connected to the support plate 301 via bearings, and the two fourth rotating shafts 310 are symmetrically arranged vertically. A fifth gear 311 is fixedly connected to each fourth rotating shaft 310, and the two fifth gears 311 mesh with each other. A second pin 305 is fixedly connected to each of the two fifth gears 311, and the two second pins 305 are symmetrically arranged along the horizontal line between the two fifth gears 311. This symmetrical meshing structure enables the cutter 308 to reciprocate smoothly, avoiding cutting deviation caused by unilateral force. A first pin 302 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the support plate 301 vertically. A connecting rod 303 is hinged to the first pin 302, and a first limiting hole 304 is provided on the connecting rod 303. The second pin 305 is movably connected within the first limiting hole 304. The support plate 301 is symmetrically and fixedly connected with sliding grooves 309, and a cutter 308 is slidably connected to the sliding grooves 309. A third pin 307 is fixedly connected to the cutter 308. A second limiting hole 306 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 303 near the cutter 308. The third pin 307 is movably connected to the second limiting hole 306. Through the limiting transmission structure of the connecting rod 303, the rotational motion can be converted into linear reciprocating cutting motion, ensuring a stable cutting rhythm and a smooth cut. A second motor 312 is fixedly connected to the rear of the support plate 301. The output shaft of the second motor 312 is fixedly connected to a fourth rotating shaft 310. The second motor 312 drives the cutter 308 to reciprocate periodically, realizing fixed-distance cutting of the extruded milk candy and improving the consistency of the finished product size. A notch is provided on the side of the support plate 301 near the cutter 308. The notch provides movement space for the cutter 308 and facilitates the falling of cut pieces, improving production continuity and efficiency.
[0025] Working principle: During operation, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the milk candy syrup is first fed into the feeding hopper 206. After the first motor 203 starts, it drives its output shaft to rotate. The output shaft drives the spiral blade 205 to rotate via the fixedly connected first rotating shaft 204, thereby conveying the milk candy syrup. The spiral blade 205 rotates in the guide pipe 201, pushing the milk candy syrup along the guide direction into the extrusion pipe 202, so that the syrup is continuously extruded in the extrusion pipe 202 to form strip-shaped milk candy. At the same time, the first gear 208 meshes with the second gear 211, and the second gear 211 drives the third gear 213 and the fourth gear 215 in sequence, so that the second rotating shaft 212 and the third rotating shaft 214 rotate in opposite directions at the same time. This drives the stirring blade 210 to uniformly stir the syrup in the feeding hopper 206, preventing the material from settling and solidifying.
[0026] When the strip-shaped milk candy is continuously output from the end of the extrusion tube 202, the second motor 312 is activated, driving the fourth rotating shaft 310 to rotate. The fourth rotating shaft 310 drives another fifth gear 311 to rotate synchronously through a fixed fifth gear 311. The second pins 305 on the two fifth gears 311 reciprocate within the first limiting hole 304 of the connecting rod 303, driving the connecting rod 303 to swing up and down. The other end of the connecting rod 303 drives the cutter 308 to slide back and forth along the groove 309 through the second limiting hole 306, realizing the periodic cutting of the extruded strip-shaped milk candy.
[0027] During this process, the cutter 308 reciprocates stably within the chute 309, completing a continuous cutting action, so that the milk candy strips extruded from the extrusion tube 202 are evenly cut into blocks, forming milk candy products of uniform size. The entire process is driven by a motor to achieve automatic forming and continuous cutting operations.
[0028] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
