Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sugar-making equipment technology, and in particular to a strip-pulling machine for stacking and stretching sugar blocks. Background Technology

[0002] Sugar strip processing equipment is used to mechanically fold, stretch, and shape initial block or clump sugar materials to obtain sugar strips with uniform length and stable cross-sectional dimensions. It is widely used in the production processes of maltose, milk candy, and pull-apart candy. This type of equipment typically consists of a frame, feeding channel, folding mechanism, stretching mechanism, and forming channel. Through multiple folding and continuous stretching, the sugar material achieves a uniform structure and stable shape, meeting the requirements of subsequent cutting or packaging processes.

[0003] Existing sugar-stretching equipment mostly uses a fixed folding plate combined with rotating rollers to achieve the folding and stretching of sugar materials. The folding action is singular, and the sugar material often relies on the rotation of the rollers to create localized folds at the folding position, resulting in limited folding range. Simultaneously, the stretching mechanism typically provides tension only from one or two sets of rollers, leading to insufficient guidance of the sugar block as it enters the stretching section. This results in unstable positioning of the sugar material between the rollers, making it prone to displacement, twisting, or localized deformation. Furthermore, the folding and stretching actions of existing equipment are mostly independent, making it difficult to establish a stable, coordinated processing rhythm.

[0004] Existing candy-stretching equipment typically uses fixed-installation rotating rollers, with the roller shaft positions defined by welding or fixed bases. The spacing between rollers is a preset size, making it suitable only for candy blocks of specific volumes or thicknesses. When the size of the processed candy blocks changes, operators cannot directly adjust the roller distance through the mechanism; they must replace the roller set or use shims for fine-tuning, a cumbersome process with limited precision. Due to the fixed spacing, larger candy blocks are prone to uneven folding due to insufficient roller spacing, while smaller candy blocks may slip due to excessive roller spacing, leading to instability in the folding and stretching process and affecting the quality of the candy strips. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a candy stacking and stretching machine, which can solve the problem of jamming or slippage caused by the fixed spacing of the rotating rollers in the prior art, which makes it impossible to adapt to candy of different sizes.

[0006] A candy stacking and stretching machine includes: Fixed components and adjustment modules; The fixing component includes a base, a support plate fixedly connected to the base, a bearing 1 fixedly connected to the support plate, a rotating shaft 1 interference-fitted to the bearing 1, a gear 1 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 1, two gears 2 symmetrically meshing on both sides of the gear 1, an adjustment module fixedly connected to the gears 2, the adjustment module including a rotating shaft 2 fixedly connected to the gears 2, a fixed disk fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2, a fixed arm fixedly connected to the fixed disk, and a telescopic arm slidably connected inside the fixed arm.

[0007] Preferably, a support arm is fixedly connected to one side of the base, a fixed shaft is fixedly connected to the support arm, and a fixed roller is fixedly connected to the fixed shaft.

[0008] Preferably, a motor is fixedly connected to the base, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, a bearing is interference-fitted onto the support plate, and the rotating shaft is interference-fitted into the bearing.

[0010] Preferably, a bearing two is interference-fitted onto the support plate, and the rotating shaft two is interference-fitted into the bearing two.

[0011] Preferably, the fixed arm has a first mounting hole, and the telescopic arm has a second row of mounting holes.

[0012] Preferably, a bolt is provided between the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole.

[0013] Preferably, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic arm.

[0014] Preferably, a second fixing roller is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixing rod.

[0015] Preferably, the two rotating shafts are of different lengths.

[0016] Beneficial effects: This invention, by setting a sliding fit structure between the fixed arm and the telescopic arm in the adjustment module and using multiple sets of mounting holes with bolts for positioning, allows the center distance between the second fixed roller and the first fixed roller to be adjustable, thereby achieving rapid changes in the roller distance. This structure can adapt to candies of different sizes and thicknesses, ensuring stable force on the candies during folding and stretching, avoiding jamming, flattening, or slippage caused by mismatched roller distances, and improving the consistency of folding and stretching.

[0017] Furthermore, the first gear meshes with two symmetrically arranged second gears, and the motor drive enables the adjustment modules on both sides to rotate synchronously, ensuring that the fixed rollers traverse the same trajectory during their revolution, thereby guaranteeing a symmetrical folding effect of the candy blocks in the processing area. The overall structure is simple and reliable, with a large adjustment range, improving the equipment's adaptability to different working conditions and reducing adjustment and maintenance costs.

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, a candy stacking and stretching machine provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a fixing component 100, on which an adjustment module 200 is provided.

[0022] The fixing assembly 100 includes a base 101, a support arm 102 fixedly connected to one side of the base 101, a fixed shaft 109 fixedly connected to the support arm 102, and a fixed roller 110 fixedly connected to the fixed shaft 109. A support plate 103 is fixedly connected to the other side of the base 101, a motor 104 fixedly connected to the support plate 103, a rotating shaft 106 fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 104, a bearing 105 interference-fitted to the rotating shaft 106 and inserted into the support plate 103, and a gear 107 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 106. Two gears 108 are symmetrically meshed on both sides of the gear 107. This arrangement constitutes the core power and transmission system of the equipment. The symmetrical gear set driven by a central motor 104 ensures that power is evenly distributed to the adjustment modules 200 on both sides, enabling the fixed rollers 207 on both sides to rotate synchronously, in opposite directions. This is the basis for achieving stable and symmetrical folding and stretching of the sugar blocks, preventing them from shifting or twisting.

[0023] The adjustment module 200 includes a rotating shaft 209 fixedly connected to the gear 108. One of the two rotating shafts 209 is slightly longer than the other to prevent interference with subsequent mechanisms. A bearing 210 is interference-fitted onto the rotating shaft 209 and is internally fitted into the support plate 103. A fixed disk 208 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 209, and a fixed arm 201 is fixedly connected to the fixed disk 208. The fixed arm 201 has a mounting hole 205, and a telescopic arm 202 is slidably connected within the fixed arm 201. The telescopic arm 202 has a row of mounting holes 203. The mounting holes 205 and 203 are fixedly connected by bolts 204. A fixed rod 206 is fixedly connected to the end of the telescopic arm 202, and a fixed roller 207 is fixedly connected to the other end of the fixed rod 206. The sliding telescopic arm 202, combined with multiple sets of mounting holes, provides a cost-effective, robust, and reliable mechanical adjustment solution capable of withstanding the large loads generated during the stretching of the sugar block.

[0024] Working Principle: This candy-pulling machine utilizes an adjustable-gap roller assembly design to effectively adapt to and stably process candy blocks of different sizes. Its core working principle consists of two parts: power transmission and gap adjustment. The motor 104 is started, and its output shaft drives the rotating shaft 106 and the gear 107 fixed thereon to rotate synchronously. The gear 107 drives two gears 108, which mesh symmetrically with it on both sides, to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. The rotation of the gears 108 is transmitted to the fixed disk 208 through the rotating shaft 209, which in turn drives the fixed arm 201, the telescopic arm 202, and the fixed roller 207 at the end, all fixed to the fixed disk 208, to revolve around the axis of the rotating shaft 209. The sugar block first enters the processing area formed between the fixed roller 110 and the adjustable fixed roller 207. As the fixed roller 207 revolves, the sugar block is repeatedly folded, squeezed, and stretched in this area, thereby achieving the homogenization and strip-shaped formation of the sugar.

[0025] When processing sugar blocks of different sizes or thicknesses, the operator can loosen the bolt 204 connecting the fixed arm 201 and the telescopic arm 202. By sliding the telescopic arm 202, its extension length from the fixed arm 201 can be changed, thereby adjusting the center distance between the second fixed roller 207 and the first fixed roller 110. After adjusting to the required distance, align a mounting hole 203 on the telescopic arm 202 with a mounting hole 205 on the fixed arm 201, and then retighten the bolt 204 to secure it.

[0026] This adjustment mechanism ensures that the roller spacing can be precisely matched to the volume of the sugar block. It can prevent uneven folding of large sugar blocks due to insufficient spreading force, and also avoid slippage of small sugar blocks due to excessive spacing. This ensures the stability of the entire folding and stretching process and the final forming quality of the sugar strip.

[0027] 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.
