Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a food shaping tool and food processing equipment. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the shaping processes in the food processing industry mostly rely on manual operation and simple shaping tools. The manual shaping method commonly used in the market is to hold the shaping clamps in both hands to complete the clamping and pressing actions, and the clamping and pressing actions are performed successively. Through repeated clamping and pressing, the shaping effect is achieved. When processing foods such as cod fillets coated with breadcrumbs, both hands need to work together to shape them into a standard shuttle shape or other shapes.

[0003] However, the hand-held clamp shaping process cannot be carried out in parallel, the labor intensity is high, and the shaping efficiency is low. Because the force of the manual hand-held clamp pressing the fish fillet is uncontrollable, the fluffiness of the shaped product is poor. In addition, it is difficult to achieve the same standard for the clamping and pressing force of the clamp, resulting in poor consistency and low pass rate of the shaped product. Therefore, a food shaping tool is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0031] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a food shaping tool is provided, comprising: a cylinder base 1, a first driving cylinder 2, a second driving cylinder 3 and a shaping fixture 4.

[0033] A first driving cylinder 2 is arranged on the bottom surface of the cylinder seat 1, and both ends of the first driving cylinder are respectively connected to the upper end of the clamping slider seat 6 through a first piston rod (not shown in the figure). When the cylinder seat 1 is arranged horizontally, the first driving cylinder 2 is arranged horizontally on the bottom surface of the cylinder seat 1. Specifically, the extension and retraction direction of the first driving cylinder 2 is consistent with the length direction of the cylinder seat 1. Preferably, the first driving cylinder 2 is a finger cylinder, which has a bidirectional driving function and can realize the extension and retraction action of the left and right ends.

[0034] The lower end of the clamping slider seat 6 is connected to the shaping fixture 4, which is used to clamp the food. Specifically, the shaping fixture 4 is designed according to the shape of the food to be processed to ensure that the food is clamped into a desired shape.

[0035] In addition, two second driving cylinders 3 are symmetrically arranged on the bottom surface of the cylinder seat 1, and the two second driving cylinders 3 are connected to the lower pressure plate 10 group through a second piston rod. Preferably, the second driving cylinder 3 selects a micro three-axis cylinder, that is, each second driving cylinder 3 drives the lower pressure plate 10 group to move up and down through three piston rods, ensuring that the lower pressure plate 10 group runs more smoothly, wherein the two second driving cylinders 3 are arranged on both sides of the first driving cylinder 2, and the two second driving cylinders 3 are manually controlled to move synchronously, further ensuring the stability of the lower pressure plate 10 group during lifting and lowering, so as to ensure the stable operation of the overall shaping tool, and the lower pressure plate 10 group is used to press food.

[0036] When in use, the food is placed directly below the lower pressing plate 10 group. In the initial state, the first piston rod on the first driving cylinder 2 is in an extended state. The first piston rods at both ends of the first driving cylinder 2 are manually controlled to shrink synchronously. The two first piston rods drive the clamping slider seats 6 to approach each other until the food is clamped. At the same time, the second piston rods on the two second driving cylinders 3 are manually controlled to extend synchronously. The second piston rods drive the lower pressing plate 10 group to press the food until the food forms a set shape. By manually controlling the telescopic stroke of the first driving cylinder 2 and the second driving cylinder 3, complex shaping actions can be achieved with one hand, and the clamping force and pressing force of the food can be standardized, which improves the consistency of the size and shape of the formed food, thereby greatly improving the standardization degree and qualified rate of food shaping.

[0037] It should be noted that the overall shaping tool can be frequency-modulated according to demand, that is, the first driving cylinder 2 and the second driving cylinder 3 are adjusted to reach the set telescopic stroke and the time to maintain the telescopic stroke, which can further improve the efficiency of food shaping, shorten the food production cycle, and thus improve production efficiency.

[0038] A cylinder sensor 7 is provided on the side of the second driving cylinder 3, and the cylinder sensor 7 is used to detect the telescopic stroke of the second piston rod, thereby assisting the operator to further control the telescopic stroke of the second piston rod, and improving the consistency of the shape and size of the food after forming. Similarly, the cylinder sensor 7 can also be provided on the side of the first driving cylinder 2 to further assist the operator to further control the telescopic stroke of the second piston rod, and improve the consistency of the shape and size of the food after forming.

[0039] In addition, by precisely controlling the pressing force and clamping force, the food can be prevented from being over-compressed and the internal structure of the food can be kept fluffy, which can effectively improve the taste and appearance of the final product.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, a slide groove 15 is provided on the outer wall of the second driving cylinder 3, and the slide groove 15 is cylindrical as a whole, and is closed along the extension direction of the slide groove 15. A clamping block is provided at the end of the cylinder sensor 7, and the clamping block is set in a column shape. Further, the slide groove 15 passes through the bottom surface of the outer wall of the driving cylinder, and the clamping block slides from the bottom surface of the outer wall of the driving cylinder into the slide groove 15 to complete the matching. In addition, a threaded hole is provided on the end face of the clamping block, and a screw 16 is connected to the thread in the threaded hole. The screw 16 is screwed by the knob until one end of the screw 16 gradually presses against the side wall of the slide groove 15. At this time, the side of the clamping block presses against the side wall of the slide groove 15 at the closing position, completing the position locking of the clamping block, and the cylinder sensor 7 is installed.

[0041] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, an arc-shaped concave surface is provided on the inner side of the shaping fixture 4. When the two first piston rods at the two ends of the first driving cylinder 2 are synchronously contracted to a certain extent, the two ends of the two shaping fixtures 4 abut against each other to ensure a certain covering effect on the peripheral side of the food. The arc-shaped concave surface is mainly used to plasticize the food. It should be noted that different shapes can be selected to be molded on the arc-shaped concave surface to increase the diversity of food shapes.

[0042] Among them, when the inner side of the shaping fixture 4 is provided with an arc-shaped concave surface, the two side surfaces of the lower pressing plate 10 are set as arc-shaped convex surfaces. When the lower pressing plate 10 presses the food, the lower pressing plate 10 can fit the inner side surface of the shaping fixture 4 as much as possible, thereby improving the qualified rate of food forming. It should be noted that the shaping fixture 4 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower pressing plate 10 group. When the two first piston rods at the two ends of the first driving cylinder 2 are synchronously contracted, the lower pressing plate 10 is ensured to be precisely matched with the shaping fixture 4.

[0043] The lower pressure plate 10 group includes: an assembly plate 8 connected to the lower end of the second piston rod, a through assembly hole is set on the bottom surface of the assembly plate 8, the assembly hole is connected to the docking plate 9, and the lower end of the docking plate 9 is connected to the lower pressure plate 10. Among them, a plurality of through first positioning holes 13 are set on the side of the assembly plate 8, and a plurality of second positioning holes are set on the upper end of the docking plate 9. After the upper end of the docking plate 9 is inserted into the assembly hole, each first positioning hole 13 coaxially corresponds to a second positioning hole, and the assembly plate 8 and the docking plate 9 are penetrated by the pin shaft to complete the assembly of the docking plate 9 and the assembly plate 8. The assembly plate 8 and the docking plate 9 can be disassembled by simply pulling out the pin shaft, which is convenient for later maintenance and replacement and more convenient to use.

[0044] In addition, a reinforcing rib 11 is provided at the upper end of the docking plate 9. Specifically, there are three reinforcing ribs 11 on each side of the docking plate 9. The reinforcing ribs 11 are specifically triangular in shape and are integrally provided with the docking plate 9. The reinforcing ribs 11 can effectively enhance the overall structural strength of the lower pressure plate 10, and the lower pressure plate 10 has better stability when pressing food.

[0045] A pad 12 is set on the top surface of the assembly plate 8, and the top surface of the pad 12 is connected to the second piston rod. When the second driving cylinder 3 selects a micro three-axis cylinder, since each second driving cylinder 3 drives the moving lower pressure plate 10 group to rise and fall through three piston rods, the pad 12 can enable the three second piston rods to jointly apply force to the assembly plate 8. At the same time, the force area of ​​the assembly plate 8 is increased, and the stability of the lower pressure plate 10 is better when it is raised and lowered, thereby improving the consistency of the product after plastic surgery.

[0046] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the utility model, the clamping slider seat 6 is C-shaped as a whole, and the C-shaped opening faces the lower pressure plate 10, reserving a certain assembly space for the lower pressure plate 10 group. When the two clamping slider seats 6 are close to each other, it can always ensure that the side wall of the clamping slider seat 6 will not contact the lower pressure plate 10 group, and the overall structural design of the shaping tool is more reasonable.

[0047] It should be noted that the lower end of the clamping slider seat 6 is provided with a limit slot 5, and the limit slot 5 is connected to the shaping fixture 4 and a plurality of connection holes. The side of the lower end of the clamping slider seat 6 is provided with a plurality of first connection holes 14 that penetrate through, and the upper end of the docking plate 9 is provided with an integral overlap portion, and the side of the overlap portion is provided with a plurality of second connection holes. After the limit slot 5 is connected to the overlap portion, the relative position between the limit slot 5 and the overlap portion is adjusted until each first connection hole 14 coaxially corresponds to a second connection hole, and the assembly plate 8 and the docking plate 9 are penetrated by a connecting rod, and the two ends of the connecting rod are locked to complete the assembly of the clamping slider seat 6 and the shaping fixture 4. In addition, the shaping fixture 4 can be disassembled by only disassembling the connecting rod, and the shaping fixture 4 of different shapes can be flexibly replaced according to needs, further improving the scope of application of the shaping tool.

[0048] When the utility model is used, food is first placed directly below the lower pressing plate 10 group, and the first piston rods at both ends of the first driving cylinder 2 are manually controlled to shrink synchronously through the first pneumatic control valve (not shown in the figure), and the two first piston rods drive the clamping slider seats 6 to approach each other until the food is clamped. At the same time, the second piston rods on the two second driving cylinders 3 are manually controlled to extend synchronously through the second pneumatic control valve (not shown in the figure), and the second piston rods drive the lower pressing plate 10 group to press the food. The cylinder sensor 7 monitors the telescopic stroke of the second piston rod in real time to control the thickness of the food after being pressed until the food forms a set shape.

[0049] In summary, the first driving cylinder 2 drives the two shaping fixtures 4 to move synchronously, and the food is clamped and fixed while the second driving cylinder 3 drives the lower pressing plate 10 to press the food, that is, the clamping and pressing actions are performed in parallel, and the shaping process of the food is completed quickly, effectively improving the efficiency of food shaping. Moreover, by manually controlling the telescopic stroke of the first driving cylinder 2 and the second driving cylinder 3, the clamping force and pressing force of the food can be standardized, thereby greatly improving the efficiency and standardization of food shaping, and effectively ensuring the consistency and qualified rate of product quality.

[0050] In addition to the above shaping tool, the utility model also provides a food processing device including the shaping tool disclosed in the above embodiment. Specifically, a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the top surface of the cylinder seat 1, and the mounting holes are respectively connected to the ends of the automation equipment or the mechanical arm through bolts. Through a preset program, the food can be automatically clamped and pressed to achieve automatic shaping. In addition, the structures of other parts of the food processing device can refer to the prior art, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0051] It should be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are merely used to distinguish one entity from other entities, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0052] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the utility model. The above examples are only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the utility model. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the utility model, the utility model can also be improved and modified, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
