Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, and particularly relates to a sandwich mooncake maker. Background Art

[0002] Sandwich mooncakes are a food that is widely loved by Chinese people. Sandwich mooncakes generally include skin and core. Since sandwich mooncakes include skin and core, the core needs to be wrapped in the skin during the production process.

[0003] The sandwich mooncakes in the prior art are made by hand, and the production efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a sandwich mooncake maker, aiming to solve the problem of low production efficiency of sandwich mooncakes in the prior art.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A sandwich mooncake maker comprises a frame, wherein a leather material output pipe is provided on the frame, and the leather material output pipe is vertically arranged;

[0007] A core material delivery pipe is further provided in the leather material output pipe, the core material delivery pipe is coaxially arranged with the leather material output pipe, a discharge port is provided at the lower end of the leather material output pipe, and the core material and leather material in the leather material output pipe are both discharged through the discharge port;

[0008] The frame is also provided with a clamp for clamping the material output from the discharge port and making the core material wrapped by the leather material.

[0009] A further improved solution: the clamp includes an inner ring fixed to the frame, an outer ring is provided outside the inner ring, the outer ring is rotatably connected to the frame, a clamping plate is provided between the outer ring and the inner ring, the clamping plate is slidably provided between the outer ring and the inner ring along the diameter direction of the inner ring, the outer ring is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the clamping plate to reciprocate relative to the inner ring, the inner ring is coaxially arranged with the discharge port, and the inner ring is provided with a hole body for allowing the clamping plate to pass through.

[0010] Based on the above technical solution, the material clamping function is achieved through the combination of an inner ring, an outer ring, and a clamping plate. The inner ring is fixed to the frame, and the outer ring is rotatably connected to the frame, ensuring the stability of the entire clamp. The clamping plate slides along the diameter of the inner ring, and a drive mechanism on the outer ring drives the clamping plate back and forth, adapting to the clamping needs of materials of different sizes.

[0011] A further improved solution: the driving mechanism includes a protrusion arranged on the outer ring to push the clamping plate to move into the inner ring and a spring to push the clamping plate to move in a direction away from the inner ring.

[0012] Based on this technical solution, the precise coordination of the protrusions and springs enables precise control of the clamping plate's movement. The protrusions precisely push the clamping plate toward the inner ring, while the springs ensure that the clamping plate quickly and reliably returns to its original position when needed. Because the protrusions and springs operate on a simple and straightforward principle, they efficiently transmit power and achieve rapid clamping plate movement. This high efficiency not only improves material handling efficiency but also reduces energy consumption and mechanical wear.

[0013] A further improved solution: the cross-sectional shape of the convex portion is semicircular, and the convex portion smoothly transitions to the inner side wall of the outer ring.

[0014] Based on this technical solution, the smooth transition between the semicircular cross-section and the inner sidewall of the outer ring reduces friction points during movement, lowering the frictional resistance between the clamping plate, the protrusion, and the outer ring during movement. This not only helps extend the service life of mechanical components, but also reduces heat and noise generated by friction.

[0015] A further improved solution is as follows: there are at least three clamping plates, and a gap for accommodating the protrusion is provided between two adjacent clamping plates.

[0016] Based on the above technical solution: the presence of multiple clamping plates allows the material to be clamped at multiple points simultaneously, improving the stability and reliability of the clamping. This multi-point clamping method helps to reduce the shaking and falling of the material during the movement process.

[0017] A further improved solution: a guide plate for guiding the clamping plate is provided between the outer ring and the inner ring, the guide plate is fixed on the frame, one end of the spring is fixed on the guide plate, and the other end of the spring is fixed on the clamping plate.

[0018] Based on this technical solution, the guide plate provides a clear trajectory and direction for the clamping plate, ensuring accuracy and stability during movement. This helps reduce problems such as clamping failure or material dropout caused by plate deviation or wobbling. The guide plate's restraint reduces unnecessary vibration during movement, thereby improving the smoothness and accuracy of material transfer.

[0019] A further improved solution is as follows: a folded edge is provided at one end of the clamping plate away from the inner ring, and the spring is fixed to the clamping plate via the folded edge.

[0020] Based on this technical solution, the hem design increases the contact area between the clamping plate and the spring, providing a stronger connection. This enhanced connection helps ensure that the spring remains firmly fixed to the clamping plate when subjected to tension or compression, preventing it from falling off or loosening. The hem also distributes the stress generated by the spring over a larger area of ​​the clamping plate, reducing the possibility of localized stress concentration and thus improving the strength and durability of the fixing point.

[0021] A further improved solution: the frame is further provided with a motor for driving the outer ring to rotate, the outer ring is provided with a driven gear, and the output shaft of the motor is provided with a driving gear meshing with the driven gear.

[0022] Based on this technical solution, the motor acts as the power source, providing stable and controllable force for the outer ring's rotation. By controlling the motor's speed and direction, the outer ring's rotation speed and direction can be precisely controlled. Compared to manual operation, motor drive enables automated control, reducing labor costs and improving work efficiency. Automated control also enhances operational accuracy and reliability.

[0023] Further improved solution: a leather feeder is provided at the upper end of the leather output pipe.

[0024] Based on the above technical solution, the leather feeder automatically feeds leather into the conveyor pipe, eliminating the need for manual addition and significantly improving feeding efficiency and accuracy. This automated feeding method reduces labor costs and maintains a continuous and stable feeding rate. By precisely controlling the feed amount, the leather feeder reduces waste caused by overfeeding or underfeeding, thereby helping to reduce production costs and improve resource utilization.

[0025] A further improved solution: the core material conveying pipe includes a vertical portion located inside the leather material output pipe and a horizontal portion extending out of the leather material output pipe, the horizontal portion is communicated with the vertical portion, the leather material output pipe is provided with a through hole for the horizontal portion to pass through, and the core material conveying pipe is also provided with a core material feeder.

[0026] Based on this technical solution, the design of the vertical and horizontal sections allows the core and skin materials to be conveyed through separate paths, ultimately converging at a single location to form a composite material. This layered conveying method ensures precise alignment and bonding of the core and skin materials during the composite process. By precisely controlling the conveying speed and quantity of the core and skin materials, the composite material can be guaranteed to meet design requirements in terms of thickness, uniformity, and structural strength, thereby improving the overall quality of the product.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0028] The present invention arranges the skin material output pipe and the core material delivery pipe coaxially and locates them together within the skin material output pipe on the machine frame. This design allows the skin material and core material to be delivered simultaneously and synchronously, avoiding the tedious steps of handling the skin material and core material separately in traditional production methods, thereby greatly improving production efficiency. A clamp installed on the machine frame automatically clamps off the material output from the discharge port and ensures that the core material is tightly wrapped by the skin material. This automated process reduces manual intervention, increases production speed, and ensures product consistency. By adjusting the delivery speed and amount of the skin material output pipe and the core material delivery pipe, the ratio and thickness of the skin material and core material can be precisely controlled, ensuring that the core material content and taste of each sandwich mooncake are optimal. The design of the clamp ensures that the core material is completely and tightly wrapped by the skin material, avoiding problems such as exposed core material or uneven skin material, and improving the appearance and taste quality of the product. The automated feeding and clamping system can accurately control the amount of material used, reducing waste caused by overfeeding or underfeeding. At the same time, the compact conveying pipe design also reduces space occupancy and material loss during the conveying process. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] The frame 1 is further provided with a clamp 4 for clamping the material output from the discharge port and allowing the core material to be wrapped by the leather material.

[0039] Wherein: the clamp 4 includes an inner ring 5 fixed on the frame 1, an outer ring 6 is provided outside the inner ring 5, the outer ring 6 is rotatably connected to the frame 1, a clamping plate 7 is provided between the outer ring 6 and the inner ring 5, the clamping plate 7 is slidably provided between the outer ring 6 and the inner ring 5 along the diameter direction of the inner ring 5, the outer ring 6 is provided with a driving mechanism for driving the clamping plate 7 to reciprocate relative to the inner ring 5, the inner ring 5 is coaxially arranged with the discharge port, and the inner ring 5 is provided with a hole body for allowing the clamping plate 7 to pass through.

[0040] Specifically, the driving mechanism includes a protrusion 8 provided on the outer ring 6 for pushing the clamping plate 7 to move into the inner ring 5 and a spring 9 for pushing the clamping plate 7 to move away from the inner ring 5 .

[0041] The cross section of the convex portion 8 is semicircular, and the convex portion 8 smoothly transitions to the inner side wall of the outer ring 6. The convex portion 8 and the outer ring 6 may be an integral structure.

[0042] There are at least three clamping plates 7, and a gap is provided between two adjacent clamping plates 7 to accommodate the protrusion 8. The more clamping plates 7 there are, the more uniform the force on the material becomes, and the clamped material is not easily deformed.

[0043] Specifically: a guide plate 10 is provided between the outer ring 6 and the inner ring 5 to guide the clamping plate 7. The guide plate 10 is fixed to the frame 1. One end of the spring 9 is fixed to the guide plate 10, and the other end of the spring 9 is fixed to the clamping plate 7.

[0044] The end of the clamping plate 7 away from the inner ring 5 is provided with a folded edge, and the spring 9 is fixed to the clamping plate 7 via the folded edge. The folded edge and the clamping plate 7 are an integrated structure.

[0045] refer to Figures 1 to 3 Specifically, the frame 1 is further provided with a motor 11 for driving the outer ring 6 to rotate, the outer ring 6 is provided with a driven gear 12, and the output shaft of the motor 11 is provided with a driving gear 14 meshing with the driven gear 12.

[0046] The motor 11 can be fixed to the frame 1 by screws.

[0050] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0051] The leather material is conveyed downward through a vertically mounted leather material delivery pipe. This pipe is of sufficient diameter and strength to ensure smooth and stable flow of the leather material. A core material delivery pipe 3 is coaxially positioned within the leather material delivery pipe. This pipe 3 delivers the core material into the leather material, ensuring that the core material and the leather material are synchronously and precisely combined, with the core material positioned in the center of the leather material.

[0052] When the wrapper and filling material, respectively, pass through their respective delivery tubes and reach the lower end of the wrapper material output tube, they merge at the discharge port. Because the filling material delivery tube 3 is coaxial with the wrapper material output tube, the filling material is naturally encased within the wrapper material.

Anyone can derive other forms of products under the inspiration of the present invention. However, no matter what changes are made in their shape or structure, all technical solutions that fall within the scope defined by the claims of the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
