[0032] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 The material holding assembly 5 also includes a fixed ring 52 for supporting a support spring 53. The fixed ring 52 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hydraulic rod 2. The top of the fixed ring 52 is fixedly connected to a support spring 53 for pushing a support ring 59. The top of the support spring 53 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support ring 59. The support spring 53 will push the support ring 59 upward at all times under the support of the fixed ring 52. The inner wall of the sliding ring 58 is provided with a protrusion 55 for guiding the movement of the sliding ring 58. The outer wall of the hydraulic rod 2 is provided with a protrusion 55 for limiting The vertical groove 56 forms the moving track of the protrusion 55, and the protrusion 55 slides on the inner wall of the vertical groove 56. When the protrusion 55 is inside the vertical groove 56, the protrusion 55 can only slide vertically up and down, so as to ensure that the material tray 51 is vertically inserted into the top of the extrusion seat 4.

Another group of hydraulic rods 2 is arranged at the top of the base 1 near the right end of the extrusion seat 4. By adjusting the positions of the two groups of material holding components 5, quick material changing can be achieved.

[0034] Working principle: During cocoa butter processing, when one group of material trays 51 is in the device for processing, the operator can add a second portion of material to the other group of material trays 51. After the material inside the first group of material trays 51 is processed, the hydraulic rod 2 can be started to drive the pressure head 3 to move upward. At this time, the support spring 53 will also push the sliding ring 58 to drive the first group of material trays 51 to disengage from the inside of the extrusion seat 4. When the protrusion 55 moves to the inside of the transverse groove 57, the lever 64 can be pushed downward to drive the fixed block 63 to move downward and disengage from the fixed groove 61. After that, the material tray 51 can be rotated to move it out of the device. Then, another group of fixing components 6 and material holding components 5 can be adjusted to drive the second group of material trays 51 to move into the device. After that, the hydraulic rod 2 can be restarted to drive the pressure head 3 to move downward again to press the second group of material trays 51 into the inside of the extrusion seat 4 for processing.

[0035] When the second group of material holding trays 51 participates in the squeezing operation inside the device, the operator can clean the raw materials inside the first group of material holding trays 51, and can also clean the first group of material holding trays 51 at the same time. By adjusting the positions of the two groups of material holding components 5, rapid material replacement can be achieved, and the overall device has a high processing efficiency when in use.
