[0025] The following describes the detailed embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] As shown in the Figure 1 accompanying drawings, an automatic cutting and stuffing device for sandwich cakes includes a feeding conveyor belt 1, a first support 3, a clamping and transverse movement mechanism 4, a second support 5, a cutter head 6 and a stuffing injector 7.

[0027] As shown in the Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, a first support 3 is provided on one side of the end of the feeding conveyor belt 1. A clamping and transverse movement mechanism 4 that can move back and forth is provided on the first support 3. The clamping and transverse movement mechanism 4 includes a sliding seat 41, a support fixing plate 42, a support flap 43, and a pressing plate 44. The sliding seat 41 is arranged on the first support 3 to move back and forth. Specifically, a rack 31 is provided on the upper surface of the first support 3, and a transverse movement motor 47 for driving the rotation of a gear 32 is provided on the sliding seat 41. The gear 32 meshes with the rack 31. During use, the transverse movement motor 47 drives the rotation of the gear 32, so that the sliding seat 41 moves back and forth on the first support 3 under the meshing force of the gear 32 and the rack 31. And a slide rail 33 is provided on the upper surface of the first support 3, and a slider is provided on the bottom surface of the sliding seat 41. The slider is sleeved outside the slide rail 33 and slides back and forth. During the movement of the sliding seat 41, the limiting effect of the slide rail 33 on the slider can ensure that the sliding seat 41 realizes high-precision linear motion under high load.

[0028] Among them, as shown in the attached Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, a support fixing plate 42 is fixed to the bottom end of the sliding seat 41. The support fixing plate 42 is flush with the upper surface of the feeding conveyor belt 1. A pressing plate 44 corresponding to the support fixing plate 42 is provided at the top of the sliding seat 41. The pressing plate 44 is arranged parallel to the support fixing plate 42. The pressing plate 44 is driven by a lifting cylinder 45 provided on the sliding seat 41 to lift and lower. A support flap 43 is hinged to the side of the support fixing plate 42 facing away from the sliding seat 41. The support flap 43 can be turned downward. Specifically, a vertical mounting plate 421 is provided on the bottom surface of the support fixing plate 42. An electric push rod 46 is provided between the mounting plate 421 and the support flap 43. Both ends of the electric push rod 46 are respectively hinged to the surfaces of the mounting plate 421 and the support flap 43. The electric push rod 46 is used to drive the support flap 43 to turn. During use, the electric push rod 46 is used to turn the support flap 43 upward until the support flap 43 is flush with the support fixing plate 42. Then the feeding conveyor belt 1 conveys the cake 2 to be filled with stuffing onto the support flap 43 and the support fixing plate 42. Then the lifting cylinder 45 is used to lower the pressing plate 44 until the pressing plate 44 presses the cake 2 against the support fixing plate 42. The cake 2 is clamped and fixed by the support fixing plate 42 and the pressing plate 44. At the same time, the cake 2 is supported by the support flap 43 to ensure the stability of the cake 2 during the process of moving back and forth following the clamping and transverse movement mechanism 4.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that, as shown in the attached Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, guide plates 11 are provided on both sides of the conveying end of the feeding conveyor belt 1. The two guide plates 11 are arranged on the frame of the conveying end of the feeding conveyor belt 1 in an inverted "eight" structure, and the end with a smaller distance between the two guide plates 11 faces the clamping and transverse movement mechanism 4. A fence 12 is provided at the end of the guide plate 11 close to the clamping and transverse movement mechanism 4. The two fences 12 are arranged in parallel, and the two fences 12 correspond to the outer sides of the supporting fixed plate 42 and the supporting flap 43 respectively. In the process of conveying the cake 2, the guiding and limiting effect of the guide plates 11 and the fence 12 on the cake 2 can enable the cake 2 to be smoothly moved to the supporting fixed plate 42 and the supporting flap 43 to prevent the cake 2 from falling.

[0030] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a second support 5 is provided on the other side of the conveying end of the feeding conveyor belt 1, and a cutter disc 6 and a stuffing machine 7 are provided on the second support 5, wherein the cutter disc 6 is driven to rotate by a cutting motor 61 provided on the second support 5, and the cutter disc 6 is located between the stuffing machine 7 and the feeding conveyor belt 1, and the cutter disc 6 on the side close to the first support 3 is suspended, and at the same time, a stuffing tube 71 of the stuffing machine 7 is provided close to the cutter disc 6, and the height of the stuffing tube 71 is lower than that of the cutter disc 6. When in use, since the clamping and transverse moving mechanism 4 is located between the first support 3 and the second support 5, when the clamping and transverse moving mechanism 4 clamps and drives the cake 2 to move, the cake 2 will pass through the cutter disc 6 and the stuffing injector 7 in sequence. During the process, the cutting motor 61 drives the cutter disc 6 to rotate, cuts the cake 2, and divides one side of the cake 2 into an upper and lower layer. When the cut cake 2 is about to approach the stuffing injection tube 71 of the stuffing injector 7, the supporting flap 43 is flipped downward. At this time, the cut lower layer of cake 2 will be flipped downward with the supporting flap 43 due to the action of gravity, while the cut upper layer of cake 2 has most of it not separated from the cutter disc because the stuffing injection tube 71 is arranged close to the cutter disc 6. 6. At this time, the knife disc 6 will support the upper cake 2, forming an open opening on the cake 2, and then clamping and driving the cake 2 to drive the cut cake 2 to continue to move, and the filling tube 71 will pass through the opening. During the process, the filling tube 71 injects the sandwich filling into the cut cake 2. When the filling of the cake 2 is completed and completely separated from the knife disc 6 and the filling tube 71, the upper cake 2 will be stacked on the lower cake 2 under the action of its own gravity to form a sandwich cake 2. Finally, the clamping plate 44 can be raised and reset to relax the clamping of the cake 2, so that the cake 2 slides down along the inclined support flap 43 under the action of gravity and falls onto a separately arranged conveyor belt for subsequent processing.

[0031] In summary, when the present utility model is in use, first make the support flap 43 level with the support fixed plate 42, and then the feeding conveyor belt 1 conveys the cake 2 to be filled with stuffing onto the support flap 43 and the support fixed plate 42. Then lower the pressing plate 44 to clamp and fix the cake 2 by using the support fixed plate 42 and the pressing plate 44. At the same time, the cake 2 is supported by the support flap 43 to ensure stability during the process of moving back and forth following the clamping and transverse movement mechanism 4. When the clamping and transverse movement mechanism 4 clamps and drives the cake 2 to move, the cake 2 will successively pass through the cutter head 6 and the stuffing injector 7. During this process, the cutter head 6 rotates to cut the cake 2, dividing one side of the cake 2 into upper and lower layers. And by flipping the support flap 43 downward and cooperating with the support of the cutter head 6 for the cake 2, an opened opening is formed on the cake 2. Then the stuffing injection pipe 71 passes through this opening. During this process, the stuffing injection pipe 71 injects sandwich stuffing into the cut cake 2. When the cake 2 is filled with stuffing and completely separated from the cutter head 6 and the stuffing injection pipe 71, the upper-layer cake 2 will stack on the lower-layer cake 2 under the action of its own gravity to form a sandwich cake 2. The present utility model works stably and reliably, has a high degree of automation, and can effectively improve production efficiency.

[0032] The above is only the specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the design concept of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any non-substantive modification made to the present utility model by using this concept shall fall within the scope of infringement of the protection scope of the present utility model.
