Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a cake blank engraving machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] Cake blank preparation is the basic link of cake making, such as cheese cake blank is the basis for making cheese cake, and the cake blank is usually formed in a rectangular mold. In mass production, the whole cake blank after forming needs to be transported to the corresponding punching mechanism, and then punched into multiple small cake blank bodies by the punching mechanism, such as the cake blank engraving machine disclosed in patent No. CN217695105U.

[0003] In the traditional cake blank engraving process, after the whole cake blank is punched into multiple small cake blank bodies by the punching mechanism, the multiple small cake blank bodies are placed on the cake blank engraving mold cavity of the cake blank engraving mold by the multiple suction nozzles of the suction and discharge conveying mechanism (the number of suction nozzles corresponds to the number of cake blank engraving mold cavities); then the cake blank bodies are pushed into the cake blank engraving mold cavities by the pushing mechanism, and finally the cake blank bodies in the cake blank engraving mold cavities are pushed out by the pushing mechanism to complete the cake blank engraving. When each cake blank body is engraved by each cake blank engraving mold cavity of the cake blank engraving mold, it falls into the conveying belt below the cake blank engraving mold and is output by the conveying belt. Finally, each cake blank body output by the conveying belt is placed in the cake blank tray by the suction and discharge conveying mechanism. However, the cake blank engraving process has the following defects:

[0004] Firstly, during the output process of the conveying belt after each cake blank body is engraved, the cake blank body will be offset on the conveying belt due to the transmission of the conveying belt, that is, the cake blank body will not always be output along a straight line on the conveying belt, which will make it difficult for each suction nozzle of the suction and discharge conveying mechanism to align with each cake blank body, thereby affecting the production efficiency.

[0005] Secondly, placing the cake blank body after engraving in the cake blank tray by the suction and discharge conveying mechanism will also cause the cake blank body to deform, affecting the forming effect of the cake blank body.

[0006] Thirdly, during the process of moving the multiple cake blank bodies punched by the punching mechanism to the cake blank engraving mold by the multiple suction nozzles of the suction and discharge conveying mechanism, the cake blank bodies are easily thrown off due to the movement of the suction nozzles.

[0057] As can be seen from the above, 1, the cake embryo body sucked by the suction nozzle 619 is directly pushed into the embryo sleeve 50 in the cake embryo tray 5 after being pushed into the engraving cavity 421 of the engraving mold, and finally the cake embryo tray 5 is output by the driving unit 20, which effectively avoids the suction and feeding conveying mechanism 6 from sucking and grabbing the cake embryo body output by the conveying belt after engraving and placing it in the cake embryo tray 5, thereby avoiding the cake embryo body from being deviated on the conveying belt due to the transmission of the conveying belt, and effectively avoiding the suction and feeding conveying mechanism 6 from sucking and grabbing each cake embryo body output by the conveying belt and placing it in the cake embryo tray 5 at one time, while avoiding the deformation of the cake embryo body after engraving.

[0058] 2、The cake embryo body after the carving is completed will not be damaged in the process of entering the cake embryo tray 5 from the carving mold cavity 421, thereby improving the forming effect of the cake embryo body after the carving is completed.

[0059] 3、In the use process, the cake embryo body is adsorbed and grabbed only once before carving, which can avoid adsorbing and grabbing the cake embryo body after carving, thereby effectively avoiding the cake embryo body after carving being placed into the cake embryo tray 5 by the suction and discharge conveying mechanism 6 twice, and further effectively avoiding the cake embryo body after carving being deformed.

[0060] 4、In the process of moving the cake embryo bodies punched into multiple pieces by the suction nozzle 619 to the cake carving mold 4, since each cake embryo body is located in each forming mold cavity 614 on the suction and discharge conveying mechanism 6, that is, the forming mold cavity 614 plays a role in limiting the cake embryo body, avoiding the cake embryo body being easily thrown off due to the movement of the suction nozzle 619, thereby improving the stability of the suction nozzle 619 conveying the cake embryo body.

[0061] It should be noted that the mechanical arm 60 is a six-axis mechanical arm 60, which is a high-precision, multiple-input, multiple-output, highly nonlinear, and strongly coupled complex system. Due to its unique operation flexibility, it is widely used in many fields. Since the mechanical arm 60 is a relatively mature technology in the mechanical field, it will not be described here.

[0062] Of course, the rack 1 is also provided with a position sensor (not shown), which is controlled by the electric control box 92 and is used to detect whether the cake embryo tray 5 is located directly below the cake carving mold 4.

[0063] In an embodiment, with reference to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 - Figure 7The cake carving mold 4 comprises an upper mold plate 40, a lower mold plate 41 and a carving mold sleeve 42. The lower mold plate 41 is arranged on the rack 1, the upper mold plate 40 is arranged on the upper surface of the lower mold plate 41, the upper mold plate 40 and the lower mold plate 41 can move relative to each other along the length direction of the rack 1, the upper mold plate 40 and the lower mold plate 41 are both provided with through holes penetrating the upper and lower surfaces thereof, the through holes of the upper mold plate 40 (defined as first through holes 401) and the through holes of the lower mold plate 41 (defined as second through holes 410) correspond to each other, the carving mold sleeve 42 corresponds to the through holes of the upper mold plate 40 or the lower mold plate 41, and the carving mold sleeve 42 is arranged in the through holes of the upper mold plate 40 and the lower mold plate 41. The carving mold sleeve 42 is composed of two half mold sleeves 420, one half mold sleeve 420 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the through hole of the upper mold plate 40, and the other half mold sleeve 420 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the through hole of the lower mold plate 41, so that the two half mold sleeves 420 can be closed along the length direction of the rack 1, and the two half mold sleeves 420 form the above-mentioned carving mold cavity 421 when being closed. When the mechanical arm 60 drives each suction nozzle 619 to move to the upper side of the cake carving mold 4, the two half mold sleeves 420 are in an open state; when each suction nozzle 619 pushes each cake body into each carving mold sleeve 42 along the vertical direction, the upper mold plate 40 and the lower mold plate 41 are driven to move relative to each other along the length direction of the rack 1, so that the two half mold sleeves 420 of the carving mold sleeve 42 are closed to form the carving mold cavity 421. In this way, it can be avoided that each cake body enters each carving mold cavity 421 to generate too much scrap, and the waste of material can be avoided.

[0064] In an embodiment, the relative movement of the upper mold plate 40 and the lower mold plate 41 along the length direction of the rack 1 is realized in an automatic manner. Specifically, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 A fixed plate 44 is fixed above the rack 1, the lower mold plate 41 is fixed on the rack 1 through the fixed plate 44, a plurality of avoiding holes 440 are arranged on the fixed plate 44, the plurality of avoiding holes 440 correspond to the plurality of carving mold sleeves 42, each avoiding hole 440 is used for avoiding each carving mold sleeve 42, that is, each carving mold sleeve 42 is slidably arranged in each avoiding hole 440. Among them, the fixed plate 44 is provided with telescopic devices 43 on both sides along the length direction of the rack 1, the telescopic devices 43 are selected from structures such as air cylinders or electric push rods, one telescopic end of each telescopic device 43 is drivingly connected with the lower mold plate 41, and the telescopic end of the other telescopic device 43 is drivingly connected with the upper mold plate 40. Therefore, when it is needed to drive the upper mold plate 40 and the lower mold plate 41 to move relative to each other along the length direction of the rack 1 to open the two half mold sleeves 420 of the carving mold sleeve 42, the telescopic ends of the two telescopic devices 43 move away from each other along the length direction of the rack 1; when it is needed to drive the upper mold plate 40 and the lower mold plate 41 to move relative to each other along the length direction of the rack 1 to close the two half mold sleeves 420 of the carving mold sleeve 42, the telescopic ends of the two telescopic devices 43 move towards each other along the length direction of the rack 1.

[0065] It should be noted that the cross section of the carving embryo mold cavity 421 is oval or circular, which refers to the plane parallel to the upper surface of the upper die plate 40, that is, it can be understood that the cake embryo body of the carving embryo can be oval or circular, which is not limited here. Of course, when the cross section of the carving embryo mold cavity 421 is oval, the cross section of the forming punch 32, the forming mold cavity 614, the avoiding hole 440, and the embryo holding sleeve 50 in the width direction of the rack 1 is also oval; when the cross section of the carving embryo mold cavity 421 is circular, the cross section of the forming punch 32, the forming mold cavity 614, the avoiding hole 440, and the embryo holding sleeve 50 in the width direction of the rack 1 is also circular. In short, those skilled in the art can make reasonable changes according to the actual situation, which is not limited here.

[0066] In an embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 - Figure 7 , the upper die plate 40 and the lower die plate 41 are provided with a waist-shaped slot 7 penetrating the upper and lower surfaces on both sides of the width direction of the rack 1, the waist-shaped slots 7 on the upper die plate 40 correspond to and communicate with the waist-shaped slots 7 on the lower die plate 41, the waist-shaped slots 7 extend along the length direction of the rack 1, and the limiting column 70 penetrating the waist-shaped slot 7 is fixed on the fixed plate 44. Of course, when the two half mold sleeves 420 of the carving embryo mold sleeve 42 are in a closed state, the limiting column 70 is in the center of the waist-shaped slot 7. As can be seen, the length of the waist-shaped slot 7 limits the stroke of the relative movement of the upper die plate 40 and the lower die plate 41, and the cooperation of the waist-shaped slot 7 and the limiting column 70 can play a guiding role, avoiding the occurrence of deviation during the relative movement of the upper die plate 40 and the lower die plate 41 along the length direction of the rack 1, which affects the carving effect of the carving embryo mold cavity 421.

[0067] On the basis of the above structure, the cake embryo carving machine of the present application further comprises a residual material pushing device 9 arranged on the rack 1, which is used to push the residual material on the cake embryo mold plate 33. That is, it can be understood that when the lifting mechanism 34 drives each forming punch 32 to rise into each forming mold cavity 614 to punch the whole cake embryo placed on the cake embryo mold plate 33 into multiple small cake embryo bodies, the cake embryo will produce residual material on the upper surface of the cake embryo mold plate 33; after the mechanical arm 60 drives each suction nozzle 619 to move each small cake embryo body to above the cake carving mold 4, the residual material pushing device 9 pushes the residual material remaining on the cake embryo mold plate 33 at this time.

[0068] Specifically, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The residual material pushing device 9 comprises a linear driving module 90 and a pushing plate 91. The linear driving module 90 is arranged on the rack 1 and extends along the width direction of the rack 1. The linear driving module 90 is located at one side of the cake embryo mold plate 33 and is drivingly connected with the pushing plate 91, so as to drive the pushing plate 91 to push the residual material on the cake embryo mold plate 33 out. In addition, in order to guide the residual material out of the rack 1, a material guiding mechanism 8 is further arranged on the rack 1 and is located below the other side of the cake embryo mold plate 33. The residual material pushed out by the pushing plate 91 is guided out of the rack 1 by the material guiding mechanism 8.

[0069] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, which is made according to the content of the specification and drawings of the present application, is also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
