A spring hanging rod 29 is set at the corner of the rear connecting frame 13. The cylinder 28 is installed on the cylinder seat 35. A cylinder seat adjusting rod 36 is provided in the cylinder seat 35. The cylinder seat adjusting rod 36 passes through the push plate 27 and is fixed to the push plate 27 by a nut. The front end of the piston rod of the cylinder 28 is fixedly connected to the push rod 25. The push rod spring 26 is provided with a push rod 25 outside. One end of the push rod 25 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 28, and the other end is connected to the push plate 27. The other end of the push rod spring 26 passes through the push plate 27 through the through hole on the push plate 27 and is covered with a cap larger than the aperture. Hooks are provided at both ends of the pancake maker mounting frame 2. One end of the adjustment spring 34 is hung on the spring hanging rod 29 and the other end is hung on the hook on both sides of the connecting frame 13. An upper hinge shaft 16 is installed at the corner of the pancake clamp mounting frame 2. Both ends of the upper hinge shaft 16 are connected to the upper end of the connecting plate 19. Axle sleeves 17 are provided in the connecting plates 19 at both ends of the upper hinge shaft 16. Soft clamp support frames 32 are provided on both sides of the front end of the pancake clamp mounting frame 2. A soft clamp fixing rod is provided above the front end of the soft clamp support frame 32. A soft clamp fixing spring 15 is externally arranged on the soft clamp fixing rod. A washer 23 is provided in the middle of the front end of the soft clamp support frame 32. A soft clamp 18 is provided below. The soft clamp fixing rod passes through the washer 23 and is fixedly connected to the soft clamp 18. The rear ends of the connecting plates 19 on both sides are connected to the assembly plate 33 through the spring adjuster 14. The inclined pancake lower clamping plates 21 are respectively installed above the front ends of the assembly plates 33 on both sides. 3 is connected to the lower pancake clamping plate 21 through the lower clamping plate connecting sleeve 22, and a lower shaft 20 is provided at the front angle between the connecting plate 19 and the lower pancake clamping plate 21.

A connecting beam 6 and a pancake turning plate 37 are also provided on the machine base 7. When the pancake 30 is baked, a pancake shovel 24 is used to scoop up from the outer edge of the pancake apron 30 inwardly, and the soft clamp 18 and the lower pancake clamping plate 21 are combined to clamp the pancake 31 and hold it to the designated location on the pancake turning plate 37, and it falls naturally.

[0013] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: after the main frame 1 receives the command from the control system, the pulley 11 at one end of the main frame 1 slides on the pulley track 9 of the main frame base 4 around the pulley shaft 10, and the slider 3 at the other end of the main frame 1 slides in the slide groove 4-1 of the main frame base 4. The sliding behaviors of the two ends of the main frame 1 slide synchronously. When the pancake is baked, the pancake shovel 24 moves from the circumference of the pancake griddle 30 to the center, and gradually opens the pancake 31. At this time, the main frame 1 slides to the specified position, and the cylinder piston rod in the cylinder 28 pushes the push rod spring 26 forward and pushes the pancake clamp mounting frame 2 to rotate around the upper hinge shaft 16, thereby driving the soft clamp 18 to move downward. At the same time, the pancake lower clamp 21 with a slope moves to the pancake griddle 30 and clamps the pancake 31 with the soft clamp 18. Under the command of the system control system, the main frame 1 moves backward. If the pancake 30 is damaged, the photoelectric switch 8 will alarm. Stop running, otherwise, the main frame 1 continues to run, when the pancake 31 is pulled flat to the designated pancake turning plate 37, the cylinder 28 is retracted, and the two adjusting springs 34 drive the soft clamp 18 to separate and return to the pancake lower clamp 21, and the pancake 30 will naturally fall onto the pancake turning plate 37, and the main frame 1 returns. When the pancake 30 falls on the plate, the water spraying device is automatically started to spray water on the pancake according to the designated time of the water flow design, and then the pancake sprayed with water is placed in the designated position.
