Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of compressed candy processing equipment, and in particular to a multi-specification quick mold changing mechanism for compressed candy. Background Technology

[0002] As a popular snack food, compressed candy relies mainly on a tablet press to compress powdered or granular raw materials into shape. With the rapid changes in market consumption trends and the increasing demands of consumers for product appearance and taste, in order to meet the differentiated needs of different consumer groups for candy shape, size and specifications, manufacturers often need to rotate the production of multiple specifications of products on the same production equipment. This makes changing the tablet mold a very frequent operation in the production process.

[0003] However, in existing compressed candy production technology, the installation and fixing of molds mostly follow the traditional bolt connection structure. In order to ensure that the mold can withstand huge mechanical pressure during the pressing process without displacement, multiple high-strength bolts are usually used for fastening. This traditional structural design has exposed obvious drawbacks when changing molds in actual production. Operators must spend a lot of time loosening and disassembling the locking bolts one by one. After removing the old mold, the new mold must be repeatedly aligned and adjusted. Finally, all the bolts must be tightened one by one. This process is not only cumbersome and labor-intensive, but it also causes the production line to be in a standby state for a long time, which seriously restricts the improvement of production efficiency and cannot meet the flexible manufacturing needs of modern production for multiple specifications, small batches, and fast pace.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model proposes a multi-specification rapid mold changing mechanism for compressed candies to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In existing technologies, the mold changing mechanism for compressed candy typically uses an array of multiple screws for fixing, which leads to a cumbersome and time-consuming disassembly and assembly process, high labor intensity for workers, low production efficiency, and difficulty in accurately adjusting the feeding rate according to different material characteristics of existing feeding devices, which easily causes problems with quantitative transmission. The present invention aims to provide a multi-specification quick mold changing mechanism for compressed candy with an improved structure that enables quick disassembly and assembly and has a flow rate adjustment function.

[0006] This utility model provides a multi-specification quick mold changing mechanism for compressed candy, including: a tool body and an installation mechanism disposed inside the tool body.

[0007] The installation mechanism includes a fixed mold, a guide rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed mold, a guide groove opened on the inner wall of the tool body, and the guide rod slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove; a connecting rod fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed mold, and a fixing block fixedly connected to the top of the tool body.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting rod, the fixing block, and the fixing rod are combined by a plug-in locking method. Specifically, the inner wall of the fixing block has a fixing groove, the connecting rod is inserted into the inner wall of the fixing block, and a limit groove is opened at the top of the connecting rod; the installation mechanism also includes a fixing rod, which is inserted into the inner wall of the limit groove, and the fixing rod passes through the fixing groove and extends to the outside of the fixing block, thereby achieving rapid fixing of the mold through the guiding positioning of the guide rod and the lateral pin-type locking of the fixing rod.

[0009] Preferably, the installation mechanism also includes screws, which are threaded into the inner wall of the fixing groove and the end of the screw abuts against the outer wall of the fixing rod, for secondary tightening after the fixing rod is inserted to prevent loosening caused by equipment vibration.

[0010] Preferably, the multi-specification quick mold changing mechanism for compressed candy also includes a storage box located above the main body of the tool. The outer wall of the storage box is connected to an inlet pipe, and the bottom of the storage box is connected to a funnel for storing and initially guiding the raw materials.

[0011] Preferably, the inner wall of the tool body is provided with a flexible hose, and the bottom end of the funnel extends to the top end of the flexible hose and is connected to the flexible hose, for accurately conveying the raw material to the mold station.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the storage box is provided with an installation groove, and the outer wall of the storage box is provided with a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft passes through the storage box wall and is rotatably connected to the storage box. An adjustment plate is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft inside the storage box. The adjustment plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove. The material flow section is controlled by changing the angle of the adjustment plate.

[0013] Preferably, the outer wall of the adjusting plate or rotating shaft is connected to a rotating groove, the rotating groove is located outside the storage box, and a lifting rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating groove for conveniently driving the internal adjusting plate to rotate from the outside.

[0014] Preferably, there are two fixing blocks, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the top of the tool body. The number of connecting rods corresponds to the number of fixing blocks, which is used to ensure the force balance of the mold and improve the installation stability.

[0015] Preferably, the cross-sectional shape of the guide rod is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove, and the guide rod slides vertically along the length direction of the guide groove to limit the degree of freedom of the mold in the horizontal direction and ensure accurate alignment during the mold lowering process.

[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model, by setting up an installation mechanism, uses the guide rod at the bottom of the fixed mold to cooperate with the guide groove in the tool body to achieve initial positioning, and then uses the limiting groove on the connecting rod to cooperate with the fixing rod and fixing block to achieve quick locking with a pin. This solves the problem that the replacement of tablet candy molds in the prior art usually uses multiple screw arrays for fixing, which leads to cumbersome disassembly and assembly, long time and high labor intensity. It achieves the ability to quickly replace molds of different specifications, shorten equipment downtime and significantly improve production efficiency.

[0018] 2. This utility model solves the problem in the prior art that the raw material feeding rate is difficult to accurately control according to the material flowability and production needs by setting a rotatable adjustment plate in the storage box and an externally linked lifting rod assembly. The lifting rod drives the rotating groove and rotating shaft to rotate, thereby changing the angle of the adjustment plate. This achieves the ability to flexibly adjust the discharge flow rate, realize quantitative transmission, and ensure the consistency of the weight and quality stability of the compressed candy.

[0019] 3. This utility model solves the problem of loosening or falling off caused by simply relying on the pin structure under high-frequency vibration conditions of the equipment by setting screws to assist in the fixing rod at the fixing groove. It achieves the goal of ensuring quick and convenient disassembly and assembly while taking into account the stability and safety of mold installation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Example:

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 This utility model embodiment provides a multi-specification quick mold changing mechanism for compressed candy, including a tool body 1 and an installation mechanism 2 disposed inside the tool body 1. The tool body 1 serves as a support base for the entire device and provides installation space for various components. The installation mechanism 2 is used to support the mold components and cooperate with the tool body 1 to realize the quick positioning and locking function of the mold. A specific mechanical cooperation and transmission relationship is formed between the installation mechanism 2 and the tool body 1, as well as inside the feeding component.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The installation mechanism 2 includes a fixed mold 202, with a guide rod 203 fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fixed mold 202. A guide groove 201 is formed on the inner wall of the tool body 1. The cross-sectional shape of the guide rod 203 matches the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove 201. The guide rod 203 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide groove 201. The initial positioning of the fixed mold 202 is achieved by the vertical sliding of the guide rod 203 along the length of the guide groove 201. Connecting rods 205 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outer wall of the fixed mold 202. Connecting rods 205 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top end of the tool body 1. The fixing block 204 has a fixing groove 208 on its inner wall. The connecting rod 205 is inserted into the fixing groove 208 on the inner wall of the fixing block 204. A limiting groove 206 is formed at the top of the connecting rod 205. The mounting mechanism 2 also includes a fixing rod 207, which is inserted into the inner wall of the limiting groove 206. The fixing rod 207 passes through the fixing groove 208 and extends to the outside of the fixing block 204, thereby achieving longitudinal locking of the mold by locking the connecting rod 205 with the fixing rod 207.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A storage box 5 is installed on the top of the tool body 1. An inlet pipe 6 is connected to the outer wall of the storage box 5 for material input. A funnel 4 is connected to the bottom of the storage box 5. A flexible hose 3 is installed on the inner wall of the tool body 1. The bottom of the funnel 4 extends to the top of the flexible hose 3 and is connected to the flexible hose 3 to guide the material to fall. An installation groove 7 is opened on the inner wall of the storage box 5. A rotating shaft 8 is installed on the outer wall of the storage box 5. The rotating shaft 8 passes through the wall of the storage box 5 and is rotatably connected to the storage box 5. An adjusting plate 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 8 inside the storage box 5. The adjusting plate 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 7. A rotating groove 10 is connected to the outer wall of the adjusting plate 9 or the rotating shaft 8. The rotating groove 10 is located outside the storage box 5. A lifting rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating groove 10. The operator drives the rotating groove 10 to rotate by moving the lifting rod 11, and then drives the adjusting plate 9 to rotate at the installation groove 7 through the rotating shaft 8, thereby changing the size of the discharge cross section inside the storage box 5 to adjust the discharge rate.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 To ensure stability after fixing and prevent the fixing rod 207 from loosening during equipment vibration, the mounting mechanism 2 also includes screws 209. The screws 209 are threaded to the inner wall of the fixing groove 208, and the ends of the screws 209 abut against the outer wall of the fixing rod 207 to lock the fixing rod 207 in the fixing groove 208. In order to ensure that the fixed mold 202 is subjected to uniform force, there are two fixing blocks 204, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the top of the tool body 1. The number of connecting rods 205 is the same as the number of fixing blocks 204. The cross-sectional shape of the guide rod 203 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the guide groove 201, and the guide rod 203 slides vertically along the length of the guide groove 201. This matching method restricts the degree of freedom of the fixed mold 202 in the horizontal direction, and only retains the degree of freedom of movement in the vertical direction to facilitate disassembly and assembly.

[0035] Working principle: When the tool body 1 is to work, a flexible hose 3 is provided on the inner wall of the tool body 1. The top of the flexible hose 3 is connected to a funnel 4, and the top of the funnel 4 is connected to a storage box 5. The outer wall of the storage box 5 is connected to an inlet pipe 6. Therefore, the material is transported to the inner wall of the storage box 5 through the inlet pipe 6 for storage. The material is then quantitatively transported through the storage box 5. The material is then transported through the funnel 4 to the inner wall of the flexible hose 3. The inner wall of the storage box 5 has an installation groove 7, and the outer wall of the storage box 5 has a rotating shaft 8. The inner wall of the rotating shaft 8 has an adjusting plate 9 that rotates. The outer wall of the adjusting plate 9 has a rotating groove 10 that rotates. The outer wall of the rotating groove 10 has a lifting rod 11 that is fixed. Therefore, the outer wall of the lifting rod 11 drives the rotating groove 10 to rotate, thereby adjusting the discharge rate of the inner wall of the storage box 5. This provides the advantages of quantitative transport and controlled discharge.

[0036] The installation mechanism 2 allows for quick installation. Since the inner wall of the tool body 1 has a guide groove 201, and the bottom of the fixed mold 202 is fixed with a guide rod 203, the guide rod 203 connects to the inner wall of the guide groove 201, enabling positioning and installation. Since the outer wall of the fixed mold 202 is fixed with a connecting rod 205, and both sides of the top of the tool body 1 are fixed with fixing blocks 204, the top of the connecting rod 205 has a limiting groove 206. The inner wall of the fixing block 204 has a fixing groove 208. Therefore, after the guide rod 203 connects to the inner wall of the guide groove 201, the connecting rod 205 connects to the inner wall of the fixing block 204. Then, the fixing rod 207 connects to the inner wall of the limiting groove 206, allowing the connecting rod 205 to be fixed. Finally, the screw 209 connects to the inner wall of the fixing groove 208, fixing the rod 207, thus facilitating installation.
