Three dimensional cake printer

Abstract

Disclosed is a 3D cake printer, comprising a rack, a printer support assembly, a printer head assembly, a cream squeezing device and a control system. The printer support assembly is installed on the rack, and comprises a lifting support device which moves in a vertical direction driven by a support driving device; the printer head assembly is installed on the rack and located above the lifting support device, and comprises a working table, which moves in a transverse direction or in a longitudinal direction driven by a printer head driving device, and a printer head (3) provided on the working table; and the cream squeezing device comprises a cream container (13) and a cream pressing device, with the end of the cream container away from the cream pressing device being provided with a squeezing outlet (27) which is in communication with the printer head. The control system is used for controlling the support driving device, the printer head driving device and the cream squeezing device to act according to pre-set instructions, thereby reducing the requirements of manual operations and materials, improving the operation efficiency, decreasing the production costs and being able to produce photo-realistic three-dimensional patterns.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of food production equipment, in particular to a 3D cake printer. Background technique [0002] Now, no matter adults or children, they can buy a beautiful cake on their birthday and enjoy the blessings from everyone.

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In the prior art, in the process of making a birthday cake, the cake is usually placed on a rotatable stage, and cream is applied to the surface of the cake using tools such as a mounting device and a scraper, and then shaped. The method has certain requirements on the skills and proficiency of the operator, and the operator needs a lot of practice to meet the requirements, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive; in addition, there is now a photo cake printer, which is basically the same as the existing printer principle , use edible ink to print photos, patterns, etc. on edible rice paper, and then place the edible rice paper on the birthday cake, which gives people a refreshing feeling. However, due to the edible ink used for printing It needs to be imported from abroad and contains a large amount of food coloring. Not only is the cost high, but also the food coloring will cause certain damage to human health. Moreover, this photo cake printer can only print flat patterns such as photos on rice paper, and cannot produce The three-dimensional picture cannot meet the requirements of some customers
