Abstract

This invention provides an automated cake-filling and slicing production equipment and method. The equipment includes a conveyor, a drive unit, a cross-cutting device, a cake-filling device, and a longitudinal cutting device. The conveyor belt of the conveyor forms a conveying surface for conveying cake blanks. During production, the conveyor intermittently conveys cake blanks. When the conveyor stops, the drive shaft of the drive unit rotates, causing the first blade holder of the cross-cutting device to rotate. The first blade holder, through the transmission components, pivot components, and rotating head of the cake-filling device, drives the connecting rod to swing, thereby moving the cake blanks conveyed to the cake-filling device by the cake-filling head. The first blade holder can also drive the cross-cutting blade to rotate, automatically cutting the cake horizontally into strips. Simultaneously, the drive shaft drives the longitudinal cutting blade of the longitudinal cutting device to longitudinally slice the strips of cake into multiple cake blocks. This process can be achieved with only one drive motor driving the drive shaft, making it relatively energy-efficient.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cake processing technology, and in particular to an automatic filling and automatic cutting production equipment and its production method. Background Technology

[0002] In the mass production of cakes, the cake base needs to be cut into narrow strips. After the batter is poured in, it is then sliced ​​horizontally to form block cakes. In automated production, this process typically involves a conveyor belt transporting the cake base to a slitting blade, which automatically cuts the material into narrow strips. Then, a batter injection pipe moves along the narrow strips and injects batter to complete the battering process.

[0003] Specific automated production equipment requires a drive source (such as an electric actuator like a motor or cylinder) to drive the slitting blade and a drive source to move the grouting pipe; that is, multiple drive sources are needed, which is relatively energy-intensive.

A limiting piece is connected to the end of the adjusting screw, and one side of the limiting piece is embedded in the groove.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the grouting device further includes a telescopic sleeve, a first slide rail, a first slider, and a connecting pipe. The fixing frame also fixes a first bracket to one end of the grouting head. The first slide rail is laterally fixed to the first bracket. The first slider is adapted to slide along the first slide rail. The first slider is also provided with a connecting sleeve. The connecting pipe passes through the connecting sleeve of the first slider and the end of the connecting rod, and the connecting pipe is fixed to the connecting sleeve or the connecting rod. The grouting head is fixed below the connecting pipe, and the upper end of the connecting pipe extends out of the connecting sleeve and connects to the pipeline for conveying grout.

[0014] In one possible implementation, a first crossbeam is placed horizontally inside the first bracket, the first slide rail is fixed to the first crossbeam, and the two ends of the first crossbeam are screwed together with first bolts. The two sides of the first bracket are provided with through adjustment grooves, and the two first bolts pass through the two adjustment grooves respectively and are screwed together with the ends of the first crossbeam for fastening.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the production equipment further includes a longitudinal cutting device comprising a second support, a second crossbeam, and longitudinal cutting blades. The second support is fixed to the conveyor, and the second crossbeam is connected within the second support and moves vertically. Multiple longitudinal cutting blades are arranged and fixed under the second crossbeam along the width direction of the conveyor, with the cutting edges of the longitudinal cutting blades parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the longitudinal cutting device further includes a second cutter holder, which includes a sleeve and a tube. The sleeve is disposed under the second crossbeam, and a plurality of the tubes and the longitudinal cutting blades are sleeved on the sleeve, with one longitudinal cutting blade confined between two adjacent tubes.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the second tool holder further includes a mounting member, both ends of the second crossbeam are connected to the mounting member, the mounting member is provided with an embedding groove, the embedding groove having an opening on both the side facing the middle of the conveyor and the side facing the end of the conveyor, and the mounting member is also screwed with a second bolt at the opening of the embedding groove facing the end of the conveyor, the two ends of the sleeve rod are respectively embedded into the two mounting members along the openings of the two mounting members facing the end of the conveyor, and the mounting member blocks the end of the sleeve located at the end of the sleeve rod away from the longitudinal cutter, the second bolt spirally passes through the mounting member and restricts the sleeve rod within the embedding groove.

[0020] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for producing the above-mentioned production equipment, the method comprising:

[0021] The conveyor intermittently transports the cake base, and the time for each pause of the conveyor is the time required for one filling and one cutting.

[0022] When the conveyor is paused, the drive shaft rotates, causing the first cutter holder to rotate, and through the transmission component, the pivot component and the rotating head, the connecting rod swings, thereby moving the grouting head and injecting grout into the cake blanks conveyed to the grouting device.

[0023] At the same time, the rotation of the first blade holder drives the cross-cutting blade to rotate as well, so as to cut the cake that has been fed to the fixed frame and completed the filling process.

[0024] As can be seen from the above description of the structure of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: In the structure of the present invention, the cake blank is conveyed by a conveyor. When the conveyor is paused, the first blade holder is rotated by the rotation of the drive shaft. Thus, the connecting rod swings through the transmission component, the pivot component and the rotating head to form the action of the injection pipe moving relative to the cake blank. At the same time, the rotation of the first blade holder can drive the cross-cutting blade to rotate and cut the cake horizontally into strips. This process only requires one drive source (i.e., drive motor) to drive the drive shaft to rotate, so it is more energy-efficient. Attached Figure Description

[0043] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0044] In the following description, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0045] Furthermore, in this application, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are defined relative to the orientation of the components shown in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the orientation of the components in the accompanying drawings.

[0046] This invention provides an automated grouting and automated slitting production equipment and its production method, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 1As shown, the production equipment includes a conveyor 1, a drive unit 2, a cross-cutting device 3, a grouting device 4, and a longitudinal cutting device 5. The conveyor 1 is a belt conveyor 1, and the conveying surface formed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 11 of the conveyor 1 is used to convey the cake blank. The drive unit 2, the cross-cutting device 3, the grouting device 4, and the longitudinal cutting device 5 are all mounted on the conveyor 1.

[0047] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 2 and 4 A clearance groove 101 is provided above the conveyor belt in the width direction of the conveyor 1. The clearance groove 101 can be formed by connecting rotatable first rollers 12 to both sides of the frame of the conveyor 1 near the middle position, and connecting a rotatable second roller 13 to the lower part between the two first rollers 12 of the frame. After the conveyor belt 11 passes down around one of the first rollers 12, it passes up around the second roller 13 and then passes up around the other first roller 12, so that the conveyor belt 11 runs around the second roller 13 and the two first rollers 12, thereby forming a clearance groove 101 between the two first rollers 12.

[0048] Please refer to the appendix. Figure 2 and 5 The drive unit 2 includes a fixed frame 21, a drive shaft 22, and a drive motor 23. The fixed frame 21 is fixed to the conveyor 1 and spans both sides of the conveyor 1 in the width direction. The drive shaft 22 is connected to the fixed frame 21 and rotates within it. The drive motor 23 is fixed within the fixed frame 21 and drives the drive shaft 22 to rotate. Preferably, the drive motor 23 can be a geared motor with a hollow output end, and the drive shaft 22 passes through the output end of the drive motor 23.

[0049] As attached Figure 2 and 3 As shown, the cross-cutting device 3 includes a first blade holder 31 and a cross-cutting blade 32. The first blade holder 31 is fixed to the end of the drive shaft 22, and the cross-cutting blade 32 is fixed to the end of the first blade holder 31. The cross-cutting blade can be fixed in the following manner: Figure 3 and 12 As shown, a through mounting hole (not shown in the attached figure) is provided on the bottom surface of one end of the first blade holder 31. The end of the cross-cutting blade 32 is provided with an insert portion, and the insert portion is provided with fixing holes that penetrate both sides. After the insert portion fits through the mounting hole, the end of the first blade holder 31 is spirally inserted into the fixing bolt 312, and the fixing bolt 312 passes through the fixing hole of the insert portion, thereby fixing the cross-cutting blade 32 in the first blade holder 31 and preventing it from falling out. In addition, after the cross-cutting blade 32 is fixed to the first pass, it corresponds to the relief groove 101 of the conveyor belt 11. When the drive shaft 22 rotates and drives the first blade holder 31 and the cross-cutting blade 32 to rotate downward, the cross-cutting blade 32 cuts through the relief groove 101, thereby cutting the cake dough conveyed to the relief groove 101 in half.

[0050] Preferably, baffles (not shown in the attached drawings) can also be installed on the sides of the conveyor. These baffles are used to block the cake blank and prevent the cake blank from being pushed off the conveyor belt 11 during the cutting process of the cross-cutting blade 32 rotating from one side of the conveyor 1 to the other. A protective cover can also be fixed outside the conveyor 1. The protective cover covers the fixing frame, the first bracket, and the second bracket, thereby protecting the drive device, the cross-cutting device, and the longitudinal cutting device, and also serving as a dustproof function.

[0051] As attached Figure 3 , 5 As shown in Figures 6, 8, and 10, the grouting device 4 includes a grouting head 41, a pivot member 42, a transmission member 43, a rotating head 44, and a connecting rod 45. The rotating head 44 is fixed on both its upper and lower surfaces. Two horizontal bars 211 are fixed to the front of the fixing frame 21. Each horizontal bar 211 has a through-hole rotating hole, and these holes are vertically aligned. The rotating head 44 is embedded between the two horizontal bars 211, and two rotating pins of the rotating head 44 pass through the two rotating holes of the horizontal bars 211, thereby restricting the rotation of the rotating sleeve connected to one end of the fixing frame 21. One end of the telescopic sleeve 441 of the connecting rod 45 is connected to the rotating head 44, and the other end of the telescopic sleeve 441 extends out of the fixing frame 21 and connects to the grouting head 41. One end of the pivot member 42 is pivotally connected to the rotating head 44. Specifically, the pivot member 42 can be sleeved on the outside of the rotating head 44, and pins are inserted inward on both sides of the pivot member 42 to restrict the pivot member 42 to swing vertically relative to the rotating head 44 only with the pins as the axis. See also the appendix. Figure 12 The first tool holder 31 has an overall arc-shaped structure, and the first tool holder 31 is provided with arc-shaped grooves 311 that penetrate both sides. The two ends of the transmission component 43 are a rotating shaft 431 and a locking part 432, respectively. The rotating shaft 431 passes through the pivot member 42 and rotates relative to the pivot member 42. Its connection structure can be as shown in the attached figure. Figure 3 As shown, the end of the rotating shaft 431 is a reduced-diameter post. After the reduced-diameter post passes through the pivot member 42, a retaining ring is installed inside the pivot member 42. The retaining ring restricts the rotation of the rotating shaft 431 to be able to rotate only relative to the pivot member 42 with itself as the axis. (See attached diagram.) Figure 9 and 11 The locking part 432 has a C-shaped structure and is locked outside the first tool holder 31 with clearance fit. The transmission component 43 fixes the limiting pin 433 inside the locking part 432. The limiting pin 433 is adapted to be embedded in the arc groove 311, so that the limiting pin 433 is restricted to move only along the arc groove 311.

[0052] With the above structure, during the rotation of the first tool post 31 driven by the drive shaft 22, the transmission component 43 can be driven to rotate. When the rotating shaft 431 of the transmission component 43 and the drive shaft 22 are not coaxial, the transmission component 43 will rotate as shown in the attached figure. Figure 8 and 10The drive shaft 22 is tilted at a certain angle to each other. Therefore, when the drive shaft 22 rotates and drives the transmission component 43 to rotate, it will drive the pivot component 42 and the rotating head 44 to swing back and forth. It will also drive the transmission component 43 to rotate and swing around the axis of the drive shaft 22. At the same time, the rotating head 44 rotates and drives the connecting rod to swing on both sides of the width direction of the conveyor 1, so as to realize the slurry injection head 41 swinging left and right relative to the conveyor belt 11 to inject slurry into the surface of the cake blank conveyed to the slurry injection head 41. It can be seen that the present invention can realize the automatic cutting of the cake blank by driving the cross-cutting device 3 3 and the automatic slurry injection of the cake by driving the cross-cutting device 3 3 through the rotation of the drive shaft 22, without the need to use multiple drive sources to drive the cross-cutting device 32 and the slurry injection head 41 to move separately, which is beneficial to saving energy consumption during production.

[0053] As attached Figure 2 , 9 As shown in Figure 10, the grouting device 4 also includes a sliding sleeve 46 and an adjusting member 47. The adjusting member 47 is an L-shaped plate. The middle of the adjusting member 47 is pivotally connected to the first tool holder 31. Similar to the pivot structure of the pivot member 42 and the rotating head 44, the pivot structure between the adjusting member 47 and the first tool holder can also be achieved by inserting a pin or rivet to restrict the adjusting member 47 to rotate only relative to the first tool holder 31. The adjusting member 47 is provided with a first strip hole 471 and a second strip hole 472 on both sides. The sliding sleeve 46 is fixed outside the drive shaft 22, and a first guide pin 461 is fixed at one end of the sliding sleeve 46 near the rotating head 44. A second guide pin 434 is fixed outside one end of the transmission member 43 (i.e., the snap-fit ​​part 432) of the limiting pin 433. The first guide pin 461 and the second guide pin 434 are respectively adapted to pass through the first strip hole 471 and the second strip hole 472. In this structure, the first guide pin 461 and the second guide pin 434 are respectively restricted by the first strip hole 471 and the second strip hole 472. Therefore, when the sliding sleeve 46 is fixed, the restriction of the adjusting member 47 will make the axis of the transmission member 43 maintain a relatively fixed angle with the axis of the drive shaft 22. This will cause the drive shaft 22 to drive the rotating head 44 to rotate through the transmission member 43 and the pivot member 42, thereby causing the connecting rod 45 telescopic sleeve 441 to swing at a fixed amplitude. That is, the maximum angle at which the connecting rod 45 telescopic sleeve 441 swings towards both sides of the conveyor 1 is fixed.

[0054] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 10 and 12The grouting device 4 also includes an adjusting screw 48, which is screwed to the fixed frame 21, and the axis of the adjusting screw 48 is parallel to the axis of the drive shaft 22. A sliding sleeve 46 is adapted to slide outside the drive shaft 22. The annular surface of the sliding sleeve 46 is recessed to form a groove 462. A limiting piece 481 is connected to the end of the adjusting screw 48, and one side of the limiting piece 481 is embedded in the groove 462. The limiting piece 481 restricts the sliding sleeve 46 to a fixed axial position on the drive shaft 22, thereby allowing the telescopic sleeve 441 of the connecting rod 45 to maintain a fixed amplitude of oscillation. Furthermore, when the adjusting screw 48 is rotated to move the limiting piece 481 relative to the drive shaft 22, the limiting piece 481 causes the sliding sleeve 46 to move along the drive shaft 22, thereby changing the axial position of the sliding block relative to the drive shaft 22. This, in turn, changes the angle formed by the transmission member 43 relative to the drive shaft 22 via the adjusting member 47, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, when the sliding sleeve 46 moves towards the first tool holder 31, it pushes the first slot 471 of the adjusting member 47 to swing downwards through the first slot 471, causing the second slot 472 of the adjusting member 47 to swing downwards, thereby expanding the angle formed by the transmission member 43 relative to the drive shaft 22, thus expanding the swing amplitude of the telescopic sleeve 441 of the connecting rod 45, and increasing the range of movement of the grouting head 41 relative to both sides of the conveyor 1. Conversely, when the sliding sleeve 46 moves away from the first tool holder 31, it pulls the first slot 471 of the adjusting member 47 to swing upwards through the first slot 471, causing the second slot 472 of the adjusting member 47 to swing downwards, thereby reducing the angle formed by the transmission member 43 relative to the drive shaft 22, thus reducing the swing amplitude of the telescopic sleeve 441 of the connecting rod 45, and reducing the range of movement of the grouting head 41 relative to both sides of the conveyor 1. Therefore, by adjusting the axial position of the sliding sleeve 46 relative to the drive shaft 22, the grouting range of the grouting head 41 can be adjusted, making the present invention applicable to various cake grouting needs.

[0055] Continue to refer to the appendix Figure 5 and 8The grouting device 4 also includes a telescopic sleeve 441, a first slide rail 491, a first slider 492, and a connecting pipe 411. The fixing frame 21 also fixes a first support 24 to one end of the grouting head 41. The first slide rail 491 is laterally fixed to the first support 24. The first slider 492 is adapted to slide along the first slide rail 491. The first slider 492 is also fixed with a connecting sleeve. The connecting pipe 411 passes through the connecting sleeve of the first slider 492 and the end of the telescopic sleeve 441 of the connecting rod 45, and is fixed to the connecting sleeve or the telescopic sleeve 441 of the connecting rod 45. The grouting head 41 is fixed below the connecting pipe 411. Preferably, the connecting pipe 411 is spirally connected from bottom to top to the telescopic sleeve 441 of the connecting rod 45, and the connecting pipe 411 passes through the connecting sleeve, thereby fixing the connecting pipe 411 to the end of the telescopic sleeve 441 of the connecting rod 45 and allowing the connecting pipe 411 and the first slider 492 to rotate relative to each other. Additionally, the upper end of the connecting pipe 411 extends out of the connecting sleeve and connects to the pipeline for conveying the slurry. This allows the slurry injector (not shown in the attached diagram) to convey the slurry to the connecting pipe 411 via the pipeline, and then inject it downwards onto the cake base via the slurry injection head 41. Preferably, the slurry injector is a box containing the slurry, and a slurry pump is installed inside the box to pump the slurry to the connecting pipe 411 via the pipeline. With the above structure, when the connecting rod 45 telescopic sleeve 441 drives the slurry injection head 41 to swing due to the restriction of the first slide rail 491 and the first slider 492, the slurry injection head 41 can only slide linearly relative to both sides of the conveyor 1, thereby allowing the slurry to be injected evenly and parallel onto the cake base.

[0056] Furthermore, a first crossbeam 49 is horizontally placed inside the first support 24, and a first slide rail 491 is fixed to the first crossbeam 49. Both ends of the first crossbeam 49 are screwed together with first bolts 493. Through-hole adjustment grooves 241 are provided on both sides of the first support 24. The adjustment grooves 241 are elongated through slots. The two first bolts 493 pass through the two adjustment grooves 241 respectively and are screwed together with the ends of the first crossbeam 49 for secure fastening. This structure allows the distance between the first slide rail 491 and the fixed frame 21 and the cross-cutting blade 32 within the fixed frame 21 to be adjustable. By adjusting the position of the first crossbeam 49 within the first support 24 and then screwing the first bolts 493 together for secure fastening, the position of the injection head 41 relative to the cross-cutting blade 32 can be adjusted. This allows for adjustment of the position between the cake batter injection position and the cross-section after the cake batter is cross-cut, which is beneficial for the production needs of cakes of various sizes.

[0057] As attached Figure 13As shown, the slitting device 5 includes a second crossbeam 51 and slitting blades 52. A second support 25 is fixed to the conveyor 1, specifically connected to the other side of the fixed frame 21 opposite to the first support 24. The second crossbeam 51 is connected within the second support 25 and moves vertically upwards and downwards. Multiple slitting blades 52 are arranged along the width direction of the conveyor 1 below the second crossbeam 51, with the blade edges of the slitting blades 52 parallel to the conveying direction of the conveyor 1. The second crossbeam 51 can be connected to the second support 25 in the manner shown in the attached figure. Figure 7 As shown, vertically arranged second slide rails 511 are fixed on both sides of the second bracket 25. Both second slide rails 511 are adapted to connect to second sliders 512. The two ends of the second bracket 25 are respectively fixed to the two second sliders 512, thereby restricting the second crossbeam 51 to vertically rise and fall relative to the conveyor belt 11 of the conveyor 1 only within the second bracket 25. (See attached diagram.) Figure 14 The longitudinal slicing device 5 also includes a first connecting rod 531 and a second connecting rod 532 that drive the second crossbeam 51 to rise and fall. One end of the first connecting rod 531 is fixed to the end of the drive shaft 22, and both ends of the second connecting rod 532 are pivotally connected to the first connecting rod 531 and the second crossbeam 51, respectively. The pivotal connection can be achieved through the connection of spherical bearings. When the drive shaft 22 rotates, it can drive the first connecting rod 531 to rotate. The rotation of the first connecting rod 531 drives the second connecting rod 532 to swing. Thus, the up and down swing of the second connecting rod 532 pulls the second crossbeam 51 upward or pushes the second crossbeam 51 downward, so that the longitudinal slicing blade 52 cuts the cake blank vertically downward, so that the cake blank that has been horizontally cut is longitudinally cut into blocks.

[0058] The longitudinal cutter 52 can be mounted under the second crossbeam 51 via the connection of the second cutter holder 54, as shown in the attached figure. Figures 15 to 18As shown, the second tool holder 54 includes a sleeve 541, a sleeve 542, and a mounting member 543. Both ends of the second crossbeam 51 are connected to the mounting member 543. The mounting member 543 is provided with an embedding groove 5431, which has an opening on both the side facing the middle of the conveyor 1 and the side facing the end of the conveyor 1. Furthermore, a second bolt 544 is screwed onto the opening of the embedding groove 5431 facing the end of the conveyor 1. When installing the longitudinal cutter 52, first, sleeves 542 and longitudinal cutters 52 are sequentially fitted onto the outside of the sleeve rod 541, until multiple sleeves 542 and multiple longitudinal cutters 52 are simultaneously fitted onto the outside of the sleeve rod 541, with a section of each end of the sleeve rod 541 protruding outside the sleeves 542, and a structure that restricts one longitudinal cutter 52 between adjacent sleeves 542; then, the two ends of the sleeve rod 541 are respectively inserted into the insertion grooves 5431 of the two mounting parts 543 along the openings of the two mounting parts 543 facing the conveyor 1, and then the first... After the two bolts 544 spirally pass through the mounting member 543, the sleeve 541 is restricted and embedded in the groove 5431 by the obstruction of the second bolt 544. This fixes both ends of the sleeve 541 to the two mounting members 543 and restricts it under the second crossbeam 51. Furthermore, the mounting member 543 blocks the end of the sleeve 542 located at the end of the sleeve 541 away from the longitudinal cutter 52, thereby preventing the sleeves 542 and the longitudinal cutter 52 from moving relative to the length of the sleeve 541 and fixing them relative to the sleeve 541. It is worth mentioning that in this structure for fixing the longitudinal cutter 52, the distance between two adjacent longitudinal cutters 52 is the width of the cake blank after longitudinal cutting. Therefore, by changing the sleeves 542 of different lengths, the distance between two adjacent longitudinal cutters 52 can be changed, thereby achieving adaptive adjustment according to the production needs of cake size.

[0059] In addition, guide holes are provided at both ends of the second crossbeam 51. A guide rod 545 is fixed to the upper end of the mounting member 543. A spring 546 is sleeved on the guide rod 545. After the guide rod 545 of the two mounting members 543 passes through the guide holes at both ends of the second crossbeam 51, the enlarged diameter part 546 is fixed. The outer diameter of the enlarged diameter part 546 is larger than the outer diameter of the guide hole. The spring 546 is located between the second crossbeam 51 and the mounting member 543. The elastic force of the spring 546 pushes the sleeve rod 541 downward to the enlarged diameter part 546 against the second crossbeam 51. This structure makes the spring 546 form a buffer connection between the second crossbeam 51 and the sleeve rod 541, that is, the sleeve rod 541 can elastically rise and fall relative to the second crossbeam 51. When the second crossbeam 51 drives the longitudinal cutter 52 downward to cut the cake blank, the spring 546 can form a buffer between the second crossbeam 51 and the sleeve rod 541 to prevent the longitudinal cutter 52 from damaging the conveyor belt 11.

[0060] Preferably, the present invention may also be configured with a control system, which may be a PLC controller, for controlling the operation of the drive motor 23 to achieve production. The specific production method of the present invention is as follows:

[0061] Conveyor 1 intermittently transports cake blanks, that is, the control system controls conveyor 1 to pause for a certain period of time and then controls conveyor 1 to resume movement. Preferably, the time for conveyor 1 to pause once is the time required for one slurry injection and one cutting.

[0062] When the conveyor 1 is paused, the drive motor 23 drives the drive shaft 22 to rotate, thereby driving the first cutter holder to rotate. The adjustment component 47 drives the transmission component 43, the pivot component 42, the rotating head 44 and the connecting rod 45 to swing, thereby driving the injection head 41 to move, thereby injecting slurry into the cake blanks conveyed to the first cutter holder 31.

[0063] At the same time, as the first blade holder 31 rotates, it drives the cross-cutting blade 32 to rotate as well, thereby cutting the cake that has been poured into the fixed frame 21 horizontally. At the same time, the rotation of the drive shaft also drives the second crossbeam 51 to descend, cutting the cake base that has been cut horizontally into multiple pieces, and finally forming multiple cake bases arranged in a horizontal and vertical manner.

[0064] It is worth mentioning that in the initial stage of the equipment operation, before the cake blank is conveyed to the fixed frame 21 and the second support 25, the horizontal cutter 32 and the vertical cutter 52 are in an idle state, but this does not affect the process of conveying the cake blank after the filling is completed to the fixed frame 21 and the second support 25 for horizontal and vertical cutting.

[0065] In summary, when the conveyor 1 conveys the cake blank, the rotation of the drive shaft 22 can automatically drive the injection pipe 41 to move laterally on the cake blank, so as to facilitate the even injection of the slurry onto the cake blank. At the same time, it can automatically cut the cake laterally into strips and cut the strips of cake longitudinally into multiple cake blanks. This process can be achieved by only one drive motor 23 driving the drive shaft 22 to rotate, which is relatively energy-saving.

[0066] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present invention using this concept shall be considered as infringing upon the protection scope of the present invention.
