BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0011] In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the following briefly describes the drawings required for use in the description of the embodiments. Obviously, the drawings described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments, and those skilled in the art can also obtain other design solutions and drawings based on these drawings without creative work.

[0012] Figure 1 It is a structural schematic diagram of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technicians in this field without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships mentioned in the text do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the formation of a better connection structure by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the invention can be combined interchangeably without conflicting with each other.

[0014] Reference Figure 1A supporting device for soft food comprises a frame 1, wherein the frame 1 comprises a working surface, a supporting mechanism 2 is arranged below the working surface, the frame 1 comprises a circulating guide rail mechanism 3, a clamping mechanism 4 and a pushing-down mechanism 5, the clamping mechanism 4 and the pushing-down mechanism 5 are both installed above the working surface, the circulating guide rail mechanism 3 comprises a horizontal track and a vertical track, the horizontal track comprises a narrowing section, and the vertical track comprises a pressing section; the clamping mechanism 4 comprises a movable splint, which is movably connected to the frame 1 left and right, and the movable splint abuts against the horizontal track; the pushing-down mechanism 5 comprises a pressing plate, which is movably connected to the frame 1 up and down, and the pressing plate abuts against the vertical track. When the food is in operation, the packaging tray is automatically transported forward by the feeding mechanism, and the food is also transported forward synchronously. When the food is in place, the clamping mechanism 4 drives the food to continue to be transported forward. When the food moves to the top of the packaging tray, the pushing mechanism 5 just works to send the food into the packaging tray. Since the food is clamped by the movable clamping plate, the food will be squeezed and deformed. After the food is sent into the packaging tray, the movable clamping plate and the lower pressure plate are reset, and the food recovers under the action of its own elastic force, so that the surface of the food can abut against the inner surface of the packaging tray, so that the food can be well wrapped by the packaging tray, avoiding collision between the food and the packaging tray during subsequent transportation.

[0015] Moreover, by using a reciprocating guide rail to control the movement of each clamping plate and the pressure plate, the movement accuracy can be high, and a transition section can be set when the narrowing section and the downward pressure section change their diameters, so that the movement is applied more slowly, which is better than the drive method using a cylinder or a motor.

[0016] As a further preferred embodiment, the circulating guide rail mechanism 3 includes a driving sprocket and a private service motor.

[0017] As a further preferred embodiment, the horizontal track is fixed together with the vertical track, and the driving sprocket drives the horizontal track and the vertical track to move back and forth.

[0018] As a further preferred embodiment, the circulating guide rail mechanism 3 includes a track body, the cross section of the track body is rectangular, the upper end surface of the track body is provided with a first groove, the front end surface of the track body is provided with a second groove, the first groove forms a horizontal track, and the second groove forms a vertical track. Integrating the horizontal track with the vertical track not only makes the structure simpler, but also makes the control of the action more precise, ensuring that the food can be effectively driven after it is in place.

[0019] As a further preferred embodiment, the movable clamping plate is connected to the horizontal track via rollers, which can make the movement smoother, reduce the sense of abruptness, and make the food loading safer.

[0020] As a further preferred embodiment, the movable clamping plate is provided with an adjustment unit. For different foods, the initial position of the movable clamping plate can be controlled by the adjustment unit, thereby improving the applicability of the supporting device.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are specifically described above, but the invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art may make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without violating the spirit of the invention. These equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included in the scope defined by the claims of this application.
