Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food printing equipment, and in particular relates to a frame structure of a food printer. Background Art

[0002] The food printer consists of a frame structure, a panel covering the frame structure, and other components set on the frame structure. The frame structure of existing food printers is mostly made of aluminum alloy profiles and fixed by bolts. Directly purchasing existing aluminum alloy profiles and sawing and assembling them according to the required size saves the production and processing time of components, but the process of assembling multiple sections of aluminum alloy profiles into a whole is slow because the assembly process needs to rely on the jig to calibrate the relative position of the aluminum alloy profiles, and the screws need to be tightened step by step in a cycle to prevent the joints from deforming, which is inefficient and greatly increases the assembly cost, so the total cost is high.

[0003] To this end, the applicant cuts and bends steel plates to form different sheet metal parts, and then fixes each sheet metal part as required to form the frame structure of the food printer, and has applied for a Chinese patent with the patent number: 201920304711.6, entitled: A frame structure for a food printer. The disclosed intermediate frame includes two vertically arranged angle steels 6 and two flat steels 7. The two angle steels and the two flat steels are divided into two groups, and one angle steel and one flat steel in each group are located on one side of the frame structure; the upper end of the angle steel is fixedly connected to the corresponding side plates and upper bottom plates respectively, and the lower end of the angle steel is fixedly connected to the two first flanges adjacent to the rear end of the rectangular plate, the upper end of the flat steel is fixedly connected to the vertical plate, and the lower end is fixedly connected to the first flange corresponding to the rectangular plate, and the angle steel 6 and the flat steel 7 on the same side are fixedly connected by a connecting plate 8, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are 6 parts in total that are fixed by multiple screws to form the middle frame.

[0004] During the production and assembly of subsequent products, the applicant found that the processing and assembly of these six components was still relatively troublesome and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a frame structure of a food printer, so as to solve the problem that the middle frame structure of the food printer in the prior art is composed of multiple parts, and the processing and assembly are complicated and inefficient.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following solutions:

[0007] The frame structure of the food printer is generally in an inverted "C" shape, including an upper frame, a middle frame, and a lower frame. The periphery of the frame structure is covered with a surrounding plate, the upper end is covered with a top plate, and the front end is provided with a front side plate. The middle frame includes vertical plates on the left and right sides of the operator of the food printer. The upper ends of the vertical plates are detachably connected to the upper frame, and the lower ends are detachably connected to the lower frame.

[0008] In this application, the entire middle frame is only composed of two vertical plates. Compared with 6 components and several screws in the prior art, the number of components is reduced, which is convenient for processing, greatly saves the assembly time, and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0009] Further optimized, the vertical plate includes a vertical plate body and a plurality of connection components formed on the vertical plate body by sheet metal processing. Among them, the front and rear ends in the width direction of the vertical plate body are folded inward to form a first connection component and a second connection member.

[0010] The two ends in the height direction of the vertical plate body are the third connection component and the fourth connection member.

[0011] Further optimized, the upper end of the first connection component is cut off to form a support platform for the upper frame, that is, the upper edge of the first connection component is lower than the upper edge of the vertical plate body. The upper frame is placed on the support platform and fixedly connected through the third connection components at the upper ends of the left and right vertical plate bodies. The structure is stable and the disassembly and assembly are convenient.

[0012] After the lower end of the first connection component is cut off, it abuts against the lower frame, and the fourth connection components at the lower ends of the left and right vertical plate bodies are fixedly connected to the lower frame.

[0013] Further optimized, the ends of the first connection component and the second connection member are both folded inward to form flanges. Through secondary folding sheet metal processing, the structural strength is improved and the stability is increased.

[0014] Further optimized, the first connection component and the second connection member are both folded at 90 degrees with the vertical plate body, and the flanges are parallel to the vertical plate body. The two ends in the height direction of the vertical plate body are folded outward by 180 degrees to become the third connection component and the fourth connection member, that is, the third connection component and the fourth connection member are parallel to and fit with the vertical plate body, increasing the thickness of the connection part of the vertical plate body, improving the strength, and making the connection with the upper frame and the lower frame more reliable.

[0015] Further optimization, the front side panel is made of rectangular sheet metal, including a vertical front side panel and a horizontal front side panel; wherein, the left and right edges of the vertical front side panel cover and abut against the first connecting components corresponding to the left and right side panels; the horizontal front side panel covers the front half of the lower frame, that is, the part not covered by the middle frame; the middle part of the vertical front side panel is cut off along the height direction to form a channel for the up and down movement of the stage, that is, the vertical front side panel is U-shaped as a whole. By setting the front side panel, the internal structure of the printer and some moving parts are shielded and covered to prevent the printing operator from contacting with moving parts such as the lead screw and causing danger; in addition, the product aesthetics is improved by shielding, because this side faces the food printing operator.

[0016] Further optimization also includes a front covering plate for covering the moving channel of the loading platform. The front covering plate is arranged parallel to the vertical front side plate, but not on the same plane. The spacing between the front covering plate and the vertical front side plate is 0.3-2cm; the width of the front covering plate is equivalent to the width of the channel; a waist-shaped hole is opened on the loading platform, and the loading platform is movably mounted on the front covering plate through the waist-shaped hole.

[0017] Because rats are prone to appear in the food area, in order to prevent rats from entering the internal cavity of the food printer, the present application sets a front sealing plate to block and shield the moving channel of the loading platform, thereby solving the problem of rats entering the interior of the food printer and biting off the wires and other destructive phenomena, and improving the safety and hygiene performance of the product.

[0018] Further optimization, the vertical plate and the front side plate are respectively provided with mounting holes for assembly with the upper frame and the lower frame. The frame structure is connected with the enclosure plate and the front side plate by bolts through the mounting holes, which is convenient for assembly and high in efficiency.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:
