[0025] Furthermore, a second adding mechanism is provided at one end of the mounting frame 1 close to the feeding direction of the conveyor 2 , and the second adding mechanism can add demoulding powder to the conveyor belt of the conveyor 2 .

[0026] Furthermore, the second adding mechanism and the first adding mechanism both include a first cylinder 8 fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1, the protruding end of the first cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to a storage box 9, the storage box is provided with a conveying pipe 10 with one end fixedly connected thereto, the other end of the conveying pipe 10 is detachably connected to a cloth bag 11, the cloth bag can be tied to the conveying pipe by materials such as cable ties or ropes, and an annular groove for limiting the cable ties or ropes can be provided on the conveying pipe.

[0027] Furthermore, the second driving mechanism includes a first electric push rod 12 rotatably connected to the mounting frame 1, the protruding end of the first electric push rod 12 is detachably connected to the half mold 6, the electric push rod can be detachably connected to the half mold by bolts or a threaded rod provided therewith, and a guide rod with one end fixedly connected thereto can be further provided on the half mold, and the other end of the guide rod is slidably connected to a mounting plate on which the first electric push rod is installed, a driving rod 13 is fixedly connected to the protruding end of the first electric push rod 12, a driving plate 14 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1, a driving groove is provided on the driving plate 14 for the driving rod 13 to be inserted and moved, and the driving groove includes a straight section 15 and an arc-shaped flip section 16.

[0028] Furthermore, the slitting mechanism includes a slitting box 17 fixedly connected to the filling funnel 5, a slitting groove 18 is provided in the slitting box 17, a cutter 19 is slidably connected in the slitting groove 18, a second cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the slitting box 17 or the filling funnel 5 or the mounting frame 1, and the protruding end of the second cylinder 20 is fixedly connected to the cutter 19.

[0029] Furthermore, the first driving mechanism includes a second electric push rod 21 fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1 , and an extended end of the second electric push rod 21 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate 4 .

[0030] Working principle: when steamed buns need to be formed, flour is added to the storage box 9, and fermented dough is added to the storage barrel 3, and then the cloth bag 11 is driven to descend by the first cylinder 8. Since the flour in the storage box 9 will enter the cloth bag 11 through the conveying pipe 10, the cloth bag 11 will be filled with flour. After the cloth bag 11 descends and contacts the conveyor belt of the conveyor 2 or the inner cavity of the half mold 6, due to the collision, the flour in the cloth bag 11 will be spilled through the holes and gaps on the cloth bag 11, and then dry flour is added to the inner cavity of the half mold 6 and the conveyor belt, so as to facilitate the subsequent dough removal.

[0031] Then drive the protruding end of the first electric push rod 12 to extend. During this process, the driving rod 13 will move along the trajectory of the driving groove. When the driving rod 13 moves to the self-propelled section in the flipping section 16, the driving rod 13 will drive the first electric push rod 12 and the half mold 6 to flip, and then the driving rod 13 enters the straight section. At this time, the half molds 6 on both sides are close to each other until the half molds 6 on both sides are combined with each other to form a complete molding cavity 7. At this time, the pressing plate 4 is driven to descend by the second electric push rod 21, and then the dough is squeezed into the molding cavity 7 through the filling funnel 5 until the molding cavity 7 is filled. At this time, the dough has become the desired shape in the molding cavity.

[0032] Then the first electric push rod 12 drives the half molds 6 on both sides to separate and reset. In this process, due to the release powder, the formed dough will not stick to the half mold, and the formed dough is still connected to the dough in the filling funnel at this time, and will not move to both sides with the half mold. The formed dough will fall on the conveyor belt of the conveyor. At this time, the cutter 19 is driven by the second cylinder 20 to move along the trajectory of the cutting groove 18, thereby cutting the formed dough from the dough in the filling funnel 5, and then the formed dough can be intermittently sent to the next process through the conveyor. The user can make steamed bun blanks of different shapes by replacing molds with different shapes of forming cavities 7.

[0033] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions under the concept of the present invention belong to the protection scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, some improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
