Problems solved by technology

However, due to the material properties of chocolate, the printed chocolate is prone to blooming and difficult to preserve
[0003] In addition, most of the existing 3D food printing equipment uses a plunger pump to feed fluid food. For example, patent CN105982342A discloses a food 3D printing method and equipment, which uses a plunger pump to extrude the fluid food, and the printing volume is received by the material cylinder. The volume is limited, continuous printing is not possible, and the feeding process is cumbersome to operate, and the barrel is not easy to clean, etc., making the printing cost higher and the efficiency lower

Abstract

The invention belongs to a technical field related to food printing, and discloses a temperature-adjustable 3D food printer. The printer comprises a support frame, a storage device arranged on the support frame, a continuous feeding mechanism, and a motion mechanism. The storage device and the continuous feeding mechanism are arranged at an interval, and food materials are continuously added into the storage device. The motion mechanism is connected with the continuous feeding mechanism, wherein motors rotate so as to drive the continuous feeding mechanism to move. The 3D food printer also comprises a temperature adjusting device, wherein the temperature adjusting device separately communicates with the storage device and the continuous feeding mechanism. The temperature adjusting device conducts an automatic temperature adjustment on fluid food carried by the storage device. After the temperature adjustment, the temperature adjusting device transfers the fluid food to the continuous feeding mechanism. The 3D food printer realizes the automatic temperature adjustment on the fluid food by setting the temperature adjusting device. The storage device cooperates with the continuous feeding mechanism so as to realize continuous printing and improve food print efficiency.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field related to food printing, and more specifically, relates to a temperature-adjustable food 3D printer. Background technique [0002] With consumers’ individual pursuit of food styling, it is difficult to meet consumers’ individual needs for food by relying on artificial production. 3D food printing technology can obtain food with complex shapes that meet consumer needs. Now there are some 3D chocolate printers in the market, and 3D chocolate printers are used to print 3D chocolates. However, due to the material properties of chocolate, printed chocolate is easy to frost and difficult to preserve. [0003] In addition, most of the existing 3D food printing equipment uses a plunger pump to feed fluid food. For example, Patent CN105982342A discloses a food 3D printing method and equipment, which uses a plunger pump to squeeze out the fluid food and print the volume receiving barrel. The volume is limited, continuous ...
