Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of coating thickness control equipment, and in particular to a cake cream coating thickness control equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Existing cake decorating methods require operators to rely on experience to control the height and pressure of the frosting blade. This is not only labor-intensive but also makes it difficult to ensure a uniform thickness of cream on each cake, leading to uneven cream application, irregular edges, and other problems. This directly affects the product's appearance and taste consistency. Furthermore, after prolonged use, cream residue can remain on the surface of the frosting pan. If not thoroughly cleaned, this residue can easily breed bacteria, affecting the food safety of the cake. Fixed or complexly connected frosting pans are also very cumbersome to disassemble, requiring specialized tools. This not only increases the difficulty and time cost of cleaning but may also result in uncleanliness due to the presence of hard-to-reach areas. Therefore, there is a need to design a cake cream application thickness control device.

[0003] A cake buttercream spreading thickness control device disclosed in CN114651845B includes a worktable with a placement groove in the middle of its upper surface and an annular slide groove centered on the placement groove. A rotating mechanism is installed inside the placement groove and the annular slide groove, and the rotating mechanism includes a No. 4 motor and a moving frame. In this invention, the cooperation of the No. 1 motor and the rotating frame drives the spreading plate to adjust its angle. This, combined with a rotating rod, drives the tray to rotate, performing spreading from top to bottom or bottom to top. This allows for simultaneous spreading of the outer and upper parts of the cake base, eliminating the need for secondary processing. Furthermore, the cooperation between the cylinder and the guide rod adjusts the distance between the spreading plate and the cake base according to the rotation angle of the rotating frame, thereby better controlling the buttercream spreading thickness and greatly improving the spreading efficiency of the cake base.

[0004] However, the device lacks a mechanism for replacing the dough plate in one go, making it inconvenient to clean and unable to ensure hygiene, thus reducing the hygiene quality and efficiency of cake production. Utility Model Content

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved The purpose of this invention is to provide a cake cream coating thickness control device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the lack of an automatic control device for coating thickness, which leads to uneven coating and the lack of disposable coating trays, resulting in cleaning difficulties and the inability to ensure hygiene quality.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cake cream spreading thickness control device, comprising a base, a control box fixedly connected to one side of the top surface of the base, a PLC controller installed on one side of the base, a measuring and control mechanism slidably connected to the middle of one side of the control box, a spreading plate rotatably connected to the middle of the top surface of the base, a replacement mechanism provided inside the top surface of the spreading plate, the measuring and control mechanism comprising a telescopic hydraulic rod slidably connected to the middle of one side of the control box, a sliding rod penetrating the end of the telescopic hydraulic rod, a lead screw rotatably connected to one side of the sliding rod, a limit rod slidably connected to the other side of the sliding rod, a drive motor fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw, and the replacement mechanism comprising a slot opened inside the top surface of the spreading plate, a latching post being snapped into the slot, and a disposable dough plate fixedly connected to the top surface of the latching post.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a connecting column is fixedly connected to the top end of the telescopic hydraulic rod, and a cavity is opened inside the connecting column. The connecting column serves to connect and install the components.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a micro motor is fitted inside the cavity, and a rotating component is fixedly connected to the top of the micro motor. The rotating component enables the squeegee to rotate and apply the squeegee.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a connecting piece is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating part, and a smearing blade is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting piece. The smearing blade facilitates the spreading of butter.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the squeegee is fixedly connected with a beveled blade, and the side of the squeegee is provided with scale lines, which serve to allow for the measurement of length and distance.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bottom of the smearing tray, and a base is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft serves to drive the smearing tray to rotate.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the end of the rotating shaft extends through the top surface of the base, and a rotating motor is installed at the bottom of the rotating shaft. The rotating motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate the smearing disc.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects This utility model provides a cake buttercream coating thickness control device, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This cake cream spreading thickness control device, through the setting of the measurement and control mechanism, starts the drive motor when the device is to be used. The drive motor causes the slide bar to slide up and down outside the limit rod and the lead screw. The slide bar passes through the inside of the end of the telescopic hydraulic rod, thereby driving the telescopic hydraulic rod to move up and down. Then, the micro motor inside the column connected to the top of the telescopic hydraulic rod can drive the rotating part and the spreading blade at the top of the rotating part to rotate and spread at an angle. This achieves the function of automatically controlling the spreading thickness, avoiding the inability to accurately control the thickness by manual spreading, which leads to problems such as uneven cream spreading thickness and irregular edges, directly affecting the uniformity of the product's appearance and the stability of its taste.

[0014] 2. This cake cream spreading thickness control device, through the setting of the replacement mechanism, has seven fasteners of different sizes installed at the bottom of the disposable spreading plate when the device is to be used. The fasteners are inserted downwards into the slots inside the top surface of the spreading plate to fix the disposable spreading plate for use. After use, the disposable spreading plate can be directly lifted and the fasteners removed from the slots for replacement. This facilitates replacement and maintains hygiene and cleanliness, avoiding the cumbersome disassembly process of fixed installation or complex connection of spreading plates, which not only increases the difficulty and time cost of cleaning, but also cannot guarantee thorough cleanliness and reduces the hygienic quality of cake production.
