With the development of the economy, people are more yearning for a healthy life, and the foods they pursue are becoming more and more diverse, especially healthy foods. Therefore, the demand for health care products has also increased significantly. Health care products such as calcium tablets and milk tablets are increasingly popular among people because of their convenience in carrying. In the process of pressing tablets for health care products, a tablet press is a key device used.
[0003] In related technologies, when a tablet press is in use, the mold is fixed, so the weight of the health care product tablets formed by tablet pressing is also fixed. When it is necessary to produce tablets of other weights, the old mold needs to be disassembled and then a new mold needs to be installed. The above operations are relatively cumbersome, resulting in the defect of inconvenient use of the tablet press in the actual production process. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Description of the Embodiment
[0021] The following will further describe the present application in detail with reference to the Figure 1-2 accompanying drawings.
[0022] An embodiment of the present application discloses a tablet pressing device for food processing. Referring to Figure 1 , a tablet pressing device for food processing includes a tablet press body 1, a lower pressing assembly 2, a mold assembly 3, and a blanking assembly 4.
[0023] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , a transposition disk 11 is rotatably connected to the top of the tablet press body 1. The blanking assembly 4 and the lower pressing assembly 2 are respectively evenly distributed at intervals along the circumference of the transposition disk 11. A rotating member 12 for driving the transposition disk 11 to rotate is provided on the top of the transposition disk 11. The rotating member 12 includes a drive motor 121, a gear 122, and a tooth ring 123. The housing of the drive motor 121 is fixedly connected to the tablet press body 1. The gear 122 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 121. The tooth ring 123 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the transposition disk 11. The gear 122 meshes with the inner wall of the tooth ring 123. By driving the gear 122 to rotate through the drive motor 121, the gear 122 drives the tooth ring 123 to rotate, thereby driving the transposition disk 11 to rotate, so as to realize the conversion of the blanking assembly 4 and the lower pressing assembly 2, and then continuously complete the operations of blanking and pressing, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.
[0024] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the mold assembly 3 is located on the workbench of the tablet press body 1, and the downward pressing assembly 2 is located above the mold assembly 3. The downward pressing assembly 2 includes a downward pressing cylinder 21 and a downward pressing plate 22. The housing of the downward pressing cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the rotating disk 11. The telescopic axis of the downward pressing cylinder 21 is vertically arranged. The downward pressing plate 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the downward pressing cylinder 21. A plurality of cylindrical pressing heads 221 are arranged at the bottom of the downward pressing plate 22, and a decompression hole 222 horizontally penetrating through is formed on the cylindrical pressing head 221. The horizontally penetrating decompression hole 222 can release part of the pressure during the tablet pressing process to prevent the tablets from being damaged.
[0025] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the mold assembly 3 includes a mounting plate 31, an adjusting plate 32 and a driving member. The mounting plate 31 is fixedly connected to the workbench of the tablet press body 1. A plurality of adjusting pressure columns 311 corresponding to the cylindrical pressing heads 221 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 31. A plurality of extrusion holes 321 corresponding to the adjusting pressure columns one by one are formed on the adjusting plate 32. The extrusion holes 321 are sleeved on the adjusting pressure columns 311.
[0026] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the driving member includes three driving cylinders 33. The three driving cylinders 33 are evenly distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting plate 31. The cylinder body of the driving cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting plate 31. The output shaft of the driving cylinder 33 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the adjusting plate 32. By adjusting the height of the adjusting plate 32 through the driving cylinder 33, the relative position between the extrusion holes 321 and the adjusting pressure columns 311 in the mold assembly 3 is changed, so as to realize the adjustment of the tablet pressing thickness, and then flexibly adjust the weight of the tablets.
[0027] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the feeding assembly 4 includes a feeding hopper 41, a main pipe 42 and a shunt pipe 43. The feeding hopper 41 is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 11. One end of the main pipe 42 is communicated with the bottom of the feeding hopper 41. A plurality of shunt pipes 43 are provided. One end of the shunt pipe 43 is communicated with the main pipe 42 and the other end is arranged downward. The ends of the plurality of shunt pipes 43 correspond to the extrusion holes 321 on the adjusting plate 32 one by one.
[0028] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the tablet press body 1 is provided with a vibration motor 13 on the side wall of the workbench. Setting the vibration motor 13 can make it more convenient for the pressed tablets to be demolded.
[0029] The implementation principle of a tablet pressing device for food processing in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: In the initial state, the tablet press body 1 is in a standby state, and the transposition disk 11 is stationary. The hopper 41 is filled with raw materials to be pressed. The adjusting plate 32 is at the initial height, and there is a certain gap between the extrusion hole 321 and the adjusting pressure column 311. When starting to work, the driving motor 121 is started, and the motor drives the gear 122 to rotate. The gear 122 meshes with the inner wall of the toothed ring 123, driving the toothed ring 123 and the transposition disk 11 fixed coaxially therewith to rotate. The transposition disk 11 rotates to the first station, and at this time, the feeding assembly 4 is aligned with the extrusion hole 321 above the mold assembly 3.
[0030] When feeding, the raw materials enter the manifold 42 from the hopper 41, then enter the shunt pipe 43, and are precisely conveyed by the shunt pipe 43 into the extrusion hole 321 of the mold assembly 3. The vibration motor 13 starts to work, slightly vibrating the workbench and the mold assembly 3 to help the raw materials fill into the extrusion hole 321 more evenly. The transposition disk 11 continues to rotate, moving the feeding assembly 4 away, and at the same time rotating the downward pressing assembly 2 to the position above the mold assembly 3. The downward pressing cylinder 21 is started, driving the downward pressing plate 22 and the cylindrical pressing head 221 at the bottom to move downward. The cylindrical pressing head 221 passes through the extrusion hole 321 to press the raw materials filled therein. During the pressing process, the pressure relief holes 222 on the cylindrical pressing head 221 release part of the pressure to prevent the tablets from being damaged.
[0031] If it is necessary to adjust the tablet weight, the height of the adjusting plate 32 can be adjusted by controlling the expansion and contraction of the driving cylinder 33. The adjusting plate 32 rises or falls, changing the relative position between the extrusion hole 321 and the adjusting pressure column 311, thereby adjusting the tablet thickness. After the pressing is completed, the downward pressing cylinder 21 drives the cylindrical pressing head 221 to rise and return to the initial position. The vibration motor 13 works again to help the tablets fall out of the extrusion hole 321. The transposition disk 11 continues to rotate, aligning the next station with the feeding assembly 4 or the downward pressing assembly 2, and repeating the above steps of feeding, pressing, demolding, etc. Through continuous cyclic operation, the automatic continuous production of health food tablets is realized.
[0032] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereby. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
