Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing, and in particular to an integrated device for mooncake forming and demolding. Background Technology

[0002] Mooncake shaping is an important step in the mooncake making process. First, the staff puts the mooncake dough, which is composed of dough and filling, onto a placement board. Then, the staff activates the hydraulic cylinder to drive the mold downwards, and the mold squeezes the mooncake into a specific shape. Finally, the mooncake is demolded.

[0003] When demolding mooncakes using existing equipment, most methods involve sprinkling a layer of dry flour or cooking oil on the mooncake dough to reduce its adhesion to the mold. After the mooncake is shaped, it is then vibrated to demold. However, when the mooncake is extruded, it adheres tightly to the side wall of the mold, making it difficult to remove and resulting in poor demolding performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing equipment where mooncakes adhere tightly to the side wall of the mold during demolding, making them difficult to remove and resulting in poor demolding performance, this invention provides an integrated mooncake forming and demolding device that allows mooncakes to detach from the mold more quickly, resulting in better demolding performance.

[0005] The technical solution is: an integrated mooncake forming and demolding device, comprising a base, electric rollers, a conveyor belt, placement plates, a fixed seat, a pressing mechanism, a forming mechanism, and a contact mechanism. Two electric rollers are fixedly connected to the base, and the two electric rollers are fitted with a conveyor belt. Four placement plates are provided on the conveyor belt. A fixed seat is fixedly connected to the base and contacts the conveyor belt. A pressing mechanism is provided on the fixed seat, which drives the mold to move. A forming mechanism is provided on the pressing mechanism for mooncake forming. A contact mechanism is provided on the forming mechanism for assisting in mooncake demolding.

[0006] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder, a pressing plate, and a guide rod. The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the fixed base, the pressing plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder, and the guide rod is fixedly connected to the fixed base. The guide rod is slidably connected to the pressing plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the forming mechanism includes an annular shell, a compression spring, a connecting rod, and an upper template. The annular shell is slidably connected to the lower pressure plate. Several vent holes are opened on the annular shell. A compression spring is fixedly connected between the annular shell and the lower pressure plate. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the lower pressure plate. An upper template is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. The upper template is slidably connected to the annular shell.

[0008] Furthermore, the contact mechanism includes a connecting frame, a buffer spring, a steel ring, and a rubber sheet. The connecting frame is fixedly connected to the upper template, and a buffer spring is fixedly connected between the upper template and the connecting frame. The steel ring is fixedly connected to the connecting frame, and a rubber sheet is fixedly connected to the annular shell.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes an air extraction mechanism, which includes a piston cylinder, a piston rod, and a connecting ring. Three piston cylinders are fixedly connected to the annular shell, and each of the three piston cylinders is connected to several exhaust holes on the annular shell. A piston rod is slidably connected to each piston cylinder, and a connecting ring is fixedly connected to all three piston rods. The connecting ring is fixedly connected to a steel ring.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a rotating mechanism, which includes a push ring and a rotating rod. Four push rings are fixedly connected to the connecting ring, and a spiral groove is opened on the rotating rod. Each push ring is slidably connected to the spiral groove of a rotating rod.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a vibration mechanism, which includes an overrunning clutch, an eccentric rod, and a fixed housing. Each rotating rod is fixedly connected to an overrunning clutch, and each overrunning clutch is fixedly connected to an eccentric rod. Four fixed housings are fixedly connected to the annular housing, and each of the four fixed housings is rotatably connected to an eccentric rod. Each of the four fixed housings is fixedly connected to an overrunning clutch.

[0012] Furthermore, it also includes a magnet and an adsorption frame. The magnet is fixedly connected to the base, and the adsorption frame is fixedly connected to the annular shell. The adsorption frame is made of iron, and the adsorption frame and the magnet attract each other.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting rod, which is fixedly connected to the upper template and is slidably connected to the connecting frame.

[0014] The beneficial effects are as follows: 1. The downward movement of the upper template will compress the mooncake dough between the rubber sheet and the placement plate of the conveyor belt into shape, and the shaped mooncake will come into contact with the rubber sheet; the hydraulic cylinder will reset the upper template, and the reset of the upper template will reset the buffer spring. The continued reset of the upper template will drive the connecting frame and steel ring to reset through the buffer spring. The reset of the steel ring will separate from the rubber sheet, and the deformation recovery of the rubber sheet will cause the rubber sheet to separate from the mooncake, making the mooncake easier to demold.

[0015] 2. The resetting of the steel ring will cause the connecting ring and piston rod to move upward. The upward movement of the piston rod will increase the space between the piston cylinder, the annular shell, the steel ring and the rubber skin, creating a negative pressure state between the piston cylinder, the annular shell, the steel ring and the rubber skin. This will cause the rubber skin to deform more in the direction of the annular shell, and the gap after the rubber skin separates from the mooncake will be larger, thus making the mooncake demolding effect better.

[0016] 3. The reverse rotation of the rotating rod will drive the eccentric rod to rotate through the overrunning clutch. The rotation of the eccentric rod will generate vibration, which will be transmitted to the annular shell and the rubber sheet through the fixed shell. The vibration of the rubber sheet will cause the mooncake to quickly separate from the rubber sheet, further improving the mooncake demolding effect. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The preferred technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1: An integrated device for mooncake forming and demolding, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the system includes a base 1, electric rollers 2, a conveyor belt 22, placement plates 23, a fixed seat 21, a pressing mechanism 301, a forming mechanism 6, and a contact mechanism 7. Two electric rollers 2 are fixedly connected to the base 1, and the conveyor belt 22 is mounted on both electric rollers 2. Four placement plates 23 are provided on the conveyor belt 22. A fixed seat 21 is welded to the base 1 and contacts the conveyor belt 22. A pressing mechanism 301 is provided on the fixed seat 21, which drives the mold to move. A forming mechanism 6 is provided on the pressing mechanism 301, which is used for mooncake forming. A contact mechanism 7 is provided on the forming mechanism 6, which is used to assist in mooncake demolding.

[0027] The pressing mechanism 301 includes a hydraulic cylinder 3, a pressing plate 4, and a guide rod 5. The hydraulic cylinder 3 is bolted to the fixed base 21. The pressing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3. The guide rod 5 is welded to the fixed base 21 and is slidably connected to the pressing plate 4.

[0028] The forming mechanism 6 includes an annular shell 61, a compression spring 62, a connecting rod 63, and an upper template 64. The annular shell 61 is slidably connected to the lower pressure plate 4. The annular shell 61 has several vent holes. The compression spring 62 is fixedly connected between the annular shell 61 and the lower pressure plate 4. The connecting rod 63 is welded to the lower pressure plate 4. The upper template 64 is bolted to the connecting rod 63. The upper template 64 is used to extrude patterns on the mooncake. The upper template 64 is slidably connected to the annular shell 61.

[0029] The contact mechanism 7 includes a connecting frame 71, a buffer spring 72, a steel ring 73, and a rubber sheet 74. The connecting frame 71 is welded to the upper template 64, and the buffer spring 72 is fixedly connected between the upper template 64 and the connecting frame 71. The steel ring 73 is welded to the connecting frame 71, and the rubber sheet 74 is fixedly connected to the annular shell 61. The steel ring 73 is used to support the rubber sheet 74.

[0030] Initially, the worker starts the electric roller 2 and hydraulic cylinder 3. The electric roller 2 drives the conveyor belt 22 to rotate intermittently, and the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3 extends and retracts intermittently. Dry powder is sprinkled on the mooncake dough. The worker places the mooncake dough on the placement plate 23 near the hydraulic cylinder 3. The rotation of the conveyor belt 22 moves the placement plate 23, which in turn moves the mooncake dough directly under the annular shell 61. Then the electric roller 2 shuts off, and the worker places a new mooncake dough on another placement plate 23 that has moved to the vicinity of the hydraulic cylinder 3. Then the telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3 retracts, which moves the lower pressure plate 4 downward. The downward movement of the lower pressure plate 4 moves the connecting rod 63 and the upper template 64 downward. At the same time, the downward movement of the lower pressure plate 4 passes through... Compression spring 62 drives the annular shell 61 and rubber sheet 74 to move downwards. The downward movement of the upper template 64, via buffer spring 72, drives the connecting frame 71 and steel ring 73 to move downwards. After the annular shell 61 contacts the placement plate 23 directly below it, the annular shell 61 and rubber sheet 74 stop moving, wrapping the mooncake dough. The lower pressure plate 4, compression spring 62, connecting rod 63, upper template 64, connecting frame 71, buffer spring 72, and steel ring 73 continue to move downwards. The steel ring 73 continues to move downwards and contacts the rubber sheet 74, squeezing it and causing it to deform towards the center of the annular shell 61. The downward movement of the steel ring 73 further compresses the annular shell 61 and rubber sheet. Air between 74 is discharged through the vent on the annular shell 61. The steel ring 73 stops moving when it contacts the annular shell 61. The connecting frame 71 continues to move downward, which compresses the buffer spring 72. The upper template 64 continues to move downward and contacts the mooncake dough. At the same time, the steel ring 73 has already supported the rubber sheet 74. The upper template 64 moves downward and extrudes the mooncake dough between the rubber sheet 74 and the placement plate 23 of the conveyor belt 22 into shape. After the mooncake is formed, it contacts the rubber sheet 74. After the mooncake is extruded and formed, the hydraulic cylinder 3 begins to reset. The extension rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the lower pressure plate 4 to reset. The reset of the lower pressure plate 4 drives the connecting rod 63 and the upper template 64 to reset. The reset of the upper template 64 causes the buffer spring 72 to reset. The upper template 64 continues to reset. The position is reset by the buffer spring 72, which drives the connecting frame 71 and the steel ring 73 to reset. The reset of the steel ring 73 allows air to enter the cavity between the steel ring 73, the annular shell 61 and the rubber skin 74. The reset of the steel ring 73 will separate from the rubber skin 74. The deformation recovery of the rubber skin 74 will cause the rubber skin 74 to separate from the mooncake, making the mooncake easier to demold. The lower pressure plate 4 continues to reset, which will reset the compression spring 62. After the compression spring 62 resets, the lower pressure plate 4 drives the annular shell 61, the compression spring 62, the connecting rod 63, the upper template 64, the connecting frame 71, the buffer spring 72, the steel ring 73 and the rubber skin 74 to reset. The formed mooncake is placed on the placement plate 23 directly below the annular shell 61. The hydraulic cylinder 3 is closed, and the electric roller 2 is started at the same time. Then, the process is repeated.

[0031] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, it also includes an air extraction mechanism 8, which includes a piston cylinder 81, a piston rod 82 and a connecting ring 83. Three piston cylinders 81 are welded on the annular shell 61. The three piston cylinders 81 are all connected to several exhaust holes on the annular shell 61. A piston rod 82 is slidably connected to each piston cylinder 81. A connecting ring 83 is welded to all three piston rods 82. The connecting ring 83 is fixedly connected to the steel ring 73.

[0032] Initially, the hydraulic cylinder 3, steel ring 73, rubber sheet 74, piston cylinder 81, and piston rod 82 are under negative pressure. The rubber sheet 74 deforms outwards towards the annular shell 61. The downward movement of the steel ring 73 causes the connecting ring 83 and piston rod 82 to move downwards. This downward movement of the piston rod 82 compresses the space inside the piston cylinder 81. The reduced space inside the piston cylinder 81 allows air to enter the cavity between the steel ring 73, annular shell 61, and rubber sheet 74 through the exhaust port on the annular shell 61. This increases the air pressure between the steel ring 73, annular shell 61, and rubber sheet 74. This increased air pressure between the steel ring 73, annular shell 61, and rubber sheet 74... The rubber skin 74 deforms towards the center of the annular shell 61. When the steel ring 73 stops moving, the connecting ring 83 and the piston rod 82 also stop moving. After the mooncake is formed, the steel ring 73 returns to its original position, which causes the connecting ring 83 and the piston rod 82 to move upward. The upward movement of the piston rod 82 increases the space between the piston cylinder 81, the annular shell 61, the steel ring 73, and the rubber skin 74, creating a negative pressure state between them. This causes the rubber skin 74 to deform more outward from the annular shell 61, resulting in a larger gap between the rubber skin 74 and the mooncake after they separate from the mold, thus improving the mooncake's demolding effect.

[0033] Example 3: Based on Example 2, such as Figures 5-6 As shown, it also includes a rotating mechanism 9, which includes a push ring 92 and a rotating rod 93. Four push rings 92 are welded on the connecting ring 83, and a spiral groove is opened on the rotating rod 93. Each push ring 92 is slidably connected to a spiral groove of a rotating rod 93.

[0034] It also includes a vibration mechanism 941, which includes an overrunning clutch 94, an eccentric rod 95, and a fixed housing 96. Each rotating rod 93 is fixedly connected to an overrunning clutch 94, and each overrunning clutch 94 is fixedly connected to an eccentric rod 95. Four fixed housings 96 are welded onto the annular housing 61, and each of the four fixed housings 96 is rotatably connected to an eccentric rod 95. The eccentric rod 95 is used to vibrate the mooncake, and each of the four fixed housings 96 is fixedly connected to an overrunning clutch 94.

[0035] The downward movement of the steel ring 73 causes the push ring 92 to move downward. The downward movement of the push ring 92 compresses the spiral groove of the rotating rod 93, causing the rotating rod 93 to rotate forward. The forward rotation of the rotating rod 93 will not cause the eccentric rod 95 to rotate through the overrunning clutch 94. The resetting of the steel ring 73 causes the push ring 92 to move upward. The upward movement of the push ring 92 compresses the spiral groove of the rotating rod 93, causing the rotating rod 93 to rotate in reverse. The reverse rotation of the rotating rod 93 will cause the eccentric rod 95 to rotate through the overrunning clutch 94. The rotation of the eccentric rod 95 will generate vibration. The vibration generated by the eccentric rod 95 will be transmitted to the annular shell 61 and the rubber skin 74 through the fixed shell 96. The vibration of the rubber skin 74 will cause the mooncake to quickly detach from the rubber skin 74, further improving the demolding effect of the mooncake. After the steel ring 73 has completed its resetting, the push ring 92, the rotating rod 93, the overrunning clutch 94, and the eccentric rod 95 stop moving.

[0036] Example 4: Based on Example 3, such as Figure 7 As shown, it also includes a magnet 101 and an adsorption frame 102. The magnet 101 is connected to the fixing base 21 by bolts, and the adsorption frame 102 is welded to the annular shell 61. The adsorption frame 102 is made of iron material, and the adsorption frame 102 and the magnet 101 attract each other.

[0037] The downward movement of the annular shell 61 will cause the adsorption frame 102 to move downward. The downward movement of the adsorption frame 102 will attract the magnet 101, making the annular shell 61 more stably contact the placement plate 23 of the conveyor belt 22, thereby improving the forming effect of the mooncake. The resetting of the annular shell 61 will cause the adsorption frame 102 to reset, and the resetting adsorption frame 102 will detach from the magnet 101.

[0038] Example 5: Based on Example 4, such as Figure 2 As shown, it also includes a limiting rod 11, which is welded onto the upper template 64. The limiting rod 11 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 71.

[0039] The movement of the upper template 64 will cause the limiting rod 11 to move. The movement of the limiting rod 11 will press on the connecting frame 71, so that the connecting frame 71 and the steel ring 73 can be stably fixed. The resetting of the upper template 64 will cause the limiting rod 11 to reset. The resetting of the limiting rod 11 will assist the resetting of the connecting frame 71 and the steel ring 73.

At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present application.
