Forming mechanism for 3D cake printer

Abstract

The invention discloses a forming mechanism for a 3D cake printer; the forming mechanism comprises a bracket, a storage tank and a forming platform, wherein the storage tank is installed on the bracket; the forming platform is used for holding a cake to be processed; a clamping groove is arranged on the bracket; a clamping block is arranged at the edge of the storage tank; the storage tank is clamped on the clamping groove of the bracket through the clamping block; an extrusion mechanism is arranged in the storage tank; the extrusion mechanism comprises a pressure plate for extruding cake making raw materials in the storage tank; the top of the pressure plate is connected to a cylinder; the pressure plate moves under the action of the piston rod of the cylinder; four openings are uniformly formed at the bottom of the storage tank; a downward discharging mouth is installed at the position of each opening in a communicating manner; a computer controlled electromagnetic valve is installed on each discharging mouth; and a driver for driving the forming platform to rotate is installed at the bottom of the forming platform. The forming mechanism is capable of forming the circumferential surfaces of cakes very effectively, and is beneficial to making cakes having nice appearances.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, and in particular relates to a forming mechanism for a 3D cake printer. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, cakes have become a common food that people choose on festive days.

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards, cakes have become a common food that people choose on festive days. At the same time, 3D printing technology is developing rapidly. Products that use 3D molding technology to make food have been designed. Staying at the manual manufacturing stage, although there are some simple equipment for making 3D cake printers, these equipments have improved the efficiency of cake processing to a certain extent, and will be popularized and improved under the background of the rapid development of 3D printing technology; The motion forming mechanisms involved in the existing 3D cake printers are relatively complicated, but generally the bracket moves in the X, Y and Z three-dimensional directions relative to the forming platform. Although this forming method can realize cake forming of any shape, in practice During operation, due to the circular structure of the cake, the processing of its peripheral surface is very frequent. When the traditional X, Y and Z three-dimensional forming methods are used for this structure, the forming speed is slow and the forming effect is poor.
