DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. However, the following examples are only used to illustrate the present invention in detail and do not limit the scope of the present invention in any way.

[0031] Example 1: A food forming device, see Figures 1 to 3 , including a support frame and a molding die, wherein the molding die is fixed on the top of the support frame. The support frame includes a bottom plate 11 and a side bracket 12, wherein the top of the side bracket 12 is fixedly connected to the molding die, and a top core 13 is arranged on the bottom plate 11. The molding die includes a shell 21, wherein a groove 22 is arranged on the shell 21, and the top core 13 is arranged below the groove 22 and can be pushed upward into the groove 22, and clamps 23 are arranged on both sides of the groove 22, and the clamps 23 are used to press toward the center of the groove 22. The clamps 23 include a flat plate portion 231 and a raised portion 232, wherein the raised portion 232 is nested in the side of the groove 22, and the flat plate portion 232 is arranged on the outer side of the groove 22, and a side spring 24 is arranged between the flat plate portion 231 and the side of the shell 21. The above-mentioned top core 13 and clamps 23 are driven by a cylinder or a motor.

[0032] The bottom of the bottom plate 11 and the bottom of the shell 21 of the molding die are both provided with a guide sleeve 25, and the top core 13 is sleeved in the guide sleeve 25. The bottom of the top core 13 is provided with a return spring 26, the top end of the return spring 26 abuts against the bottom of the bottom plate 11 of the support frame, and the bottom end abuts against the bottom of the top core 13.

[0033] The forming mold may have a plurality of grooves 22 , each groove 22 having a top core 13 at the bottom, and a connecting rod 14 at the bottom of the top core 13 , for forming a plurality of shaped foods at one time.

[0034] Example 2: A food forming system, see Figures 4 to 7 , including the above-mentioned food forming device, as well as a skin punching device, a dough shaping device, a filling device, and a discharging device. The food forming device includes multiple, driven by a cam divider, corresponding to the skin punching station 101, the dough shaping station 102, the filling station 103, the forming station 104, and the discharging station 105. In this embodiment, an 8-station cam divider is used to reserve space for other devices (such as a conveyor belt).

[0035] The dough punching device is arranged above the dough punching station 101, and is used to put the dough into the groove 22 of the food forming device. The dough punching device includes a dough pressing roller 1011, a conveyor belt 1012, and a cutter. The dough pressing roller 1011 is arranged at the front end of the conveyor belt 1012, and is used to press the dough into a dough belt. The conveyor belt 1012 is provided with a punching hole 1013. The cutter is arranged above the dough punching station and matches the shape of the punching hole 1013, and is used to cooperate with the punching hole 1013 to punch out dough of a desired shape.

[0036] The dough shaping device is arranged above the dough shaping station 102, and is used to squeeze the dough into the groove 22. The dough shaping device includes a pressing block 1021 matching the groove shape of the food shaping device and a lifting arm 1022 driving the pressing block to move up and down. The pressing block 1021 and the lifting arm 1022 are slidably connected, and the pressing block 1021 is pushed up and down by a motor or a cylinder. An air blowing port is arranged at the bottom of the pressing block 1021 to prevent the dough from being lifted up when the pressing block is lifted.

[0037] The filling device is arranged above the filling station, and is used to put the filling body 1031 or inject the filling into the dough in the groove. When the filling body 103 is adopted, the filling device includes a filling body conveyor belt 1032 and a mechanical gripper. The servo motor drives the gripper to grab the filling body 1031 and put it into the groove 22. Before the filling body is put in, the nozzles 1033 on both sides are sprayed and humidified to facilitate its adhesion with the dough. When the filling injection method is adopted, the filling device includes a filling injection pipe to inject the filling into the dough, and a layer of dough can be attached to the top after the filling is injected to form a shape.

[0038] The discharging device is arranged above the discharging station, and is used to take out the formed food and transfer it to the tray. The discharging device adopts a three-axis robot arm, which can automatically grab the formed food and put it into the tray, and automatically pack it. Before returning to the skin-cutting station 101, it passes through the cleaning station 106. The blowing port is arranged above or on the side of the cleaning station 106 to automatically clean the mold.

[0039] The working process of the above-mentioned food forming system is as follows: at the skin punching station 101, the dough skin of a fixed shape is formed by the skin punching device and falls onto the surface of the forming device. At this time, the top core 13 at the bottom of the forming device rises to ensure that the dough skin will not naturally droop and cause deviation. After entering the dough skin shaping station 102, the top core 13 falls, and the pressing block 1021 of the dough skin shaping device presses down on the groove 22 to shape the dough skin. There is an air blowing port at the bottom of the pressing block 1021 to ensure that the dough skin will not be lifted when the mold rises. Then it enters the filling station 103 to put in a round filling body, or injects stuffing into the dough skin, and then enters the forming station 104. The splints 23 on both sides of the food forming device squeeze toward the center to bond the dough skin and the filling body to form ingot-shaped, flower-shaped and other shaped foods. Finally, it enters the discharging station 105, and the top core 13 rises to push the formed food out of the mold and load it into the tray by the robotic arm.

[0040] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, the specific parameters in the above embodiments may be changed to form a plurality of specific embodiments, which are all within the common variation range of the present invention and will not be described in detail herein.
