Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of food processing technology, specifically relating to a multi-station continuous production equipment for imitation handmade egg tarts and its production process. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of science and technology and the promotion of automated equipment, more and more manufacturing enterprises have achieved automated production by replacing manual labor with automated equipment, which has improved production efficiency and reduced production costs. In the food processing industry, egg tart crusts are usually shaped by stamping or extrusion. However, when egg tart crusts are shaped by stamping or extrusion, the crusts are compressed, which increases their density and makes it difficult to achieve a crispy texture during the subsequent baking process.

[0003] In existing technology, such as patent document CN207219997U, a fully automatic egg tart crust production and forming equipment is disclosed, including a frame, and a conveying mechanism, an automatic cup feeding device, a quantitative cutting device, an extrusion forming device, an automatic cup lifting device, and a rear conveying device mounted on the frame. The extrusion forming device is configured to automatically extrude the lumps of egg tart crust material inside the tart cups into shape. In this patent document, extruding the egg tart crust material into shape increases the density of the egg tart crust, making it difficult to achieve a crispy texture during the subsequent baking process.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multi-station continuous production equipment and process for simulating handmade egg tarts to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems in the existing technology, this invention proposes a multi-station continuous production equipment and process for imitating handmade egg tarts. By imitating hand-shaping, the egg tart crust is prevented from being squeezed during shaping, so that the egg tart crust achieves a crispy texture after baking.

[0006] This invention is implemented as follows: a multi-station continuous production equipment for simulated handmade egg tarts, comprising a pressing station, a shaping station, a forming station, and a receiving station arranged sequentially, and also including a transport mechanism that passes sequentially through the pressing station, the shaping station, the forming station, and the receiving station.

[0007] The pressing station includes a first mounting frame, the top of which is provided with a plurality of pressing components that move up and down, and the bottom of the pressing components is provided with a pressing unit; the bottom of the first mounting frame is provided with a first lifting mechanism, the first lifting mechanism includes a plurality of first lifting units, the first lifting units are corresponding to the pressing units, and the bottom of the pressing units protrudes downward to form a pressing boss.

[0008] The shaping station includes at least two shaping mechanisms; each shaping mechanism includes a second mounting frame and a shaping component that moves up and down on top of the second mounting frame. The shaping component includes several shaping units that reciprocate, and each shaping unit is adapted to the shape of the pressing boss. The pressing unit is used to initially shape the egg tart crust material. The pressing boss presses a depression into the egg tart material. When the first shaping mechanism shapes, it starts shaping from the depression and gradually expands the depression to complete the first shaping. It also includes a rotating seat assembly located at the bottom of the second mounting frame; the rotating seat assembly includes several rotating units, each corresponding to one of the shaping units. Each shaping mechanism is used to shape the egg tart material sequentially. Through multiple shaping processes, the deformation of a single shaping can be reduced, effectively preventing the egg tart material from being compressed, thereby preventing the density of the egg tart crust from increasing.

[0009] The shaping station includes a third mounting frame, the top of which is provided with several shaping components that move up and down, and the bottom of which is provided with a second lifting mechanism. The second lifting mechanism includes several second lifting units, which correspond to the shaping components. The shaping station is used to shape the edges of the shaped egg tart ingredients, making the edges of the egg tart ingredients more regular and improving the appearance of the baked egg tarts.

[0010] The receiving station includes a handling mechanism and a receiving conveyor line. The handling mechanism includes a fourth mounting frame, and a reciprocating receiving robot is provided on the top of the fourth mounting frame. The receiving conveyor line is located on one side of the fourth mounting frame and below the receiving robot.

[0014] Preferably, the shaping assembly includes a third drive unit located at the top of the mounting frame, and a first connecting plate connected to the output end of the third drive unit; it also includes a fourth drive unit mounted and fixed on the first connecting plate, with its output end connected to the shaping unit; the rotating seat assembly includes a fifth drive unit located at the bottom of the second mounting frame, and a second connecting plate connected to the output end of the fifth drive unit; it also includes a sixth drive unit and a rotating unit corresponding to the shaping unit, the sixth drive unit mounted and fixed on the second connecting plate, with its output end connected to the rotating unit. The tart crust material is carried in a carrier, and the sixth drive unit drives the rotating unit to move up and down, causing the rotating unit to abut or move away from its carrier. When the rotating unit abuts the carrier, the rotating unit drives the carrier to rotate, simultaneously cooperating with the fourth drive unit to drive the shaping assembly to move left and right, achieving a hand-shaping effect.

[0015] Specifically, each shaping mechanism further includes a symmetrically arranged third guide mechanism, which is installed and fixed inside the second mounting bracket and connected to the first connecting plate; it also includes a fourth guide mechanism, which is installed and fixed on the first connecting plate and connected to the shaping unit. The third guide mechanism guides the first connecting plate when the third driving unit drives it to move, ensuring the accuracy of the first connecting plate's movement direction, thereby ensuring the movement direction of the shaping unit and its shaping effect. The fourth guide mechanism guides the shaping assembly when the fourth driving unit drives it to move, ensuring the accuracy of the shaping assembly's movement direction, thereby ensuring the movement direction of the shaping unit and its shaping effect.

[0016] Preferably, the shaping component includes a seventh drive unit fixed to the top of the third mounting frame, and a shaping unit connected to the output end of the seventh drive unit; the second lifting mechanism includes an eighth drive unit fixed to the bottom of the third mounting frame, and a plurality of second lifting units corresponding to the shaping units, the second lifting units connected to the output end of the eighth drive unit.

[0017] Specifically, the seventh drive unit has a fifth guide mechanism on one side, which connects both the shaping unit and the third mounting bracket. The second lifting mechanism also includes a second lifting plate, on which the second lifting unit is mounted and fixed. The output end of the eighth drive unit is connected to the second lifting plate. The eighth drive unit has symmetrically arranged sixth guide mechanisms on both sides, which connect both the second lifting plate and the third mounting bracket. The fifth guide mechanism guides the shaper unit when the seventh drive unit drives it, ensuring that the shaper unit's direction of movement does not change.

[0018] Preferably, the receiving robot includes a ninth drive unit fixed to the top of the fourth mounting frame, a third connecting plate connected to the output end of the ninth drive unit, a tenth drive unit mounted and fixed to the third connecting plate, and a transport claw connected to the output end of the tenth drive unit.

[0019] Preferably, the egg tart mold is provided with a plurality of egg tart seats, the egg tart seats being completely penetrated in the middle to form a through hole; the third lifting mechanism includes a plurality of third lifting units corresponding to the egg tart seats, and when the third lifting mechanism lifts, the third lifting unit passes through the through hole from bottom to top.

[0020] Preferably, the first drive unit, the second drive unit, the third drive unit, the fourth drive unit, the fifth drive unit, the sixth drive unit, the seventh drive unit, the eighth drive unit, the ninth drive unit, and the tenth drive unit are one of the power sources such as motors, cylinders, or electric cylinders.

[0021] A production process for the aforementioned multi-station continuous production equipment for imitation handmade egg tarts includes the following steps:

[0022] S1: Workers place the egg tart ingredients to be shaped into egg tart molds, and then the transport mechanism transports the egg tart ingredients to the pressing station, shaping station, forming station and receiving station in sequence.

[0023] S2: When the egg tart ingredients are transported to the pressing station, the second drive unit drives the first lifting mechanism to lift the egg tart ingredients, and at the same time the first drive unit drives the pressing unit to press down, so that the ingredients are pressed into shape. Then the pressing station is reset; then the transport mechanism transports the pressed ingredients to the shaping station.

[0024] S3: When the egg tart raw material after pressing is transported to the shaping station, it is shaped sequentially by each shaping mechanism. When the egg tart raw material is transported to the first shaping mechanism, the fifth drive unit drives the rotating unit to lift the egg tart base, the sixth drive unit drives the rotating unit to rotate and drive the carrier to rotate. At the same time, the fourth drive unit drives the shaping unit to reciprocate, cooperating with the rotating unit to complete the initial shaping. Then the shaping mechanism is reset, and the transport mechanism transports the shaped egg tart raw material to the next shaping mechanism. The shaping action is repeated until all shaping mechanisms have completed the shaping. The transport mechanism then transports the shaped egg tart raw material to the shaping station.

[0025] S4: When the shaped egg tart ingredients are transported to the shaping station, the eighth drive unit drives the second lifting machine to lift the egg tart ingredients. Then the seventh drive unit drives the shaping unit to descend and shape the edges of the ingredients. After the shaping is completed, the shaping station is reset, and the transport mechanism transports the shaped egg tart ingredients to the receiving station.

[0026] S5: When the shaped egg tart ingredients are transported to the receiving station, the third lifting unit lifts the egg tart ingredients, and then the ninth and tenth drive units cooperate to drive the receiving robot to reciprocate, transporting the egg tart ingredients to the receiving conveyor line, and the receiving conveyor line unloads the egg tart ingredients.

[0027] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0028] This invention processes egg tarts using a multi-station, hand-like method. This hand-like shaping reduces the compression of the egg tart crust material during the forming process, preventing the crust material from becoming too dense and ensuring a crisp texture after baking. Furthermore, during the shaping process, at least two shaping mechanisms are used, reducing the deformation of the egg tart crust material on a single shaping mechanism, further reducing the compression of the crust material during shaping and ensuring the texture of the egg tarts.
