[0021] The specific implementation of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a flipping device for processing layer cakes includes a frame 1, a flip frame 3 and a connecting rod mechanism 4.

[0023] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a conveyor belt 11 for conveying cake dough 2 is provided on the frame 1, and both ends of the cake dough 2 extend from both sides of the conveyor belt 11. There is always one cake dough between adjacent ones on the conveyor belt 11 coated with sauce.

[0024] As attached Figures 2 to 6As shown, the turning frame 3 is arranged on the conveyor belt 11 and rotates. The turning frame 3 includes a back plate 31, side plates 32 and a bottom plate 33. The side plates 32 are provided on both sides of the front of the back plate 31, and the bottom surfaces of the two side plates 32 are provided with bottom plates 33. The gap between the two bottom plates 33 forms a notch 34. The turning frame 3 is used to drive the cake dough 2 not coated with jam to turn over, so that the cake dough 2 not coated with jam is turned over and covers the adjacent cake dough 2 coated with jam on the conveyor belt 11. Specifically, the turning frame 3 is rotated on the conveyor belt 11 until it is level with the bottom plate 33. At this time, the conveyor belt 11 passes through the notch 34, and the upper surface of the bottom plate 33 is lower than the upper surface of the conveyor belt 11. When the cake dough 2 not coated with jam moves between the two side plates 32 under the action of the conveyor belt 11, the cake dough 2 not coated with jam is turned over. The turning frame 3 is positioned above the two bottom plates 33 and then turned over on the conveyor belt 11. The cake dough 2 not coated with jam will be turned over along with the turning frame 3 under the support of the two bottom plates 33. During this process, the cake dough 2 not coated with jam will fall onto the back plate 31 in the turning frame 3 under the action of its own weight, and then the turning frame 3 will continue to turn over. The turned cake dough 2 will slide down along the inclined surface of the bottom plates 33 under the action of its own weight. Since the cake dough 2 not coated with jam is turned over by the turning frame 3, the cake dough 2 coated with jam on the conveyor belt 11 is still conveyed forward. By adjusting the rotation speed of the conveyor belt 11 or the turning speed of the turning frame 3, the cake dough 2 not coated with jam that slides down along the inclined bottom plates 33 can gradually cover the cake dough 2 coated with jam on the conveyor belt 11, so that the jam is wrapped between the two cake doughs 2, and the sandwich cake is completed. Among them, the covered cake dough 2 with sauce is adjacent to the turned-over cake dough 2 not coated with jam on the conveyor belt 11, and the covered cake dough 2 with sauce is located at the rear end of the conveying of the turned-over cake dough 2 not coated with jam.

[0025] As attached Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the connecting rod mechanism 4 is used to drive the flip frame 3 to flip. Specifically, the two connecting rod mechanisms 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the flip frame 3. The connecting rod mechanism 4 includes a connecting frame 41, a first connecting rod 42, a second connecting rod 43 and an electric push rod 44. The outer surface of the side plate 32 is provided with a connecting frame 41. The middle part of the connecting frame 41 is hinged to the bottom end of the first connecting rod 42, the top end of the first connecting rod 42 is hinged to the top end of the second connecting rod 43, the bottom end of the second connecting rod 43 is hinged to the first ear seat 12 of the frame 1, and the top end of the second connecting rod 43 is connected to the piston 441 of the electric push rod 44. The electric push rod 44 is hinged to the second ear seat 13 of the frame 1, and the end of the connecting frame 41 facing away from the side plate 32 is hinged to the second ear seat 13. When the cake dough 2 not coated with jam moves between the two side plates 32 under the action of the conveyor belt 11, abuts against the back plate 31, and is located above the two bottom plates 33, the electric push rod 44 drives the piston 441 to extend outward, causing the flip frame 3 to flip under the coordinated action of the connecting frame 41, the first connecting rod 42, and the second connecting rod 43. A position sensor can be provided on the back plate 31. The present utility model preferably uses a contact sensor among position sensors. The contact sensor's contacts are activated by contact and compression between two objects. That is, when the cake dough 2 not coated with jam moves under the action of the conveyor belt 11 and hits the contact sensor on the back plate 31, the internal contacts of the contact sensor will activate, controlling the action of the electric push rod 44, driving the flip frame 3 to flip, and completing the flipping of the cake dough 2 not coated with jam.

[0026] It is worth mentioning that, as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the back plate 31 is provided with a chute 36, in which a push plate 35 is provided. The push plate 35 is arranged to slide up and down in the chute 36. Specifically, the two push plates 35 are connected by a push plate frame 37. A screw 38 is provided on the back of the bottom plate 33. The screw 38 is arranged on the back of the bottom plate 33 and rotates. The push plate frame 37 is threadedly connected to the screw 38, and the screw 38 is driven by a motor 39 on the back of the bottom plate 33. When the cake dough 2 without jam is poured onto the back plate 31 during the turning process of the turning frame 3, the motor 39 drives the screw 38 to rotate, so that the push plate frame 37 drives the push plate 35 to slide in the chute 36. The push plate 35 pushes the cake dough 2 without jam, so that the cake dough 2 without jam can slide smoothly along the inclined bottom plate 33 and cover the cake dough 2 with jam on the conveyor belt 11, thereby completing the production of the sandwich cake.

[0027] Further, as attached Figure 4 As shown, a guide light rod 310 is provided on the back of the base plate 33. The guide light rod 310 passes through the push plate frame 37. When the push plate frame 37 moves along the lead screw 38, the push plate frame 37 slides on the outside of the guide light rod 310. The guide function of the guide light rod 310 can prevent the push plate frame 37 from rotating with the lead screw 38, so that the push plate frame 37 and the push plate 35 can move and be used smoothly.

[0028] In addition, as attached Figure 3 As shown, a clearance groove is provided on the bottom plate 33, and the clearance groove is connected to the slide groove 36. When the push plate 35 is placed in the clearance groove, the upper surface of the push plate 35 is flush with the upper surface of the bottom plate 33, ensuring that the two ends of the cake dough 2 not coated with jam that are moved between the two side plates 32 can be located on the push plate 35 and the bottom plate 33, so as to ensure that the subsequent push plate 35 can be used to push the cake dough 2 not coated with jam after pouring.

[0029] In summary, when the present invention is in use, when the cake dough 2 without jam is moved between the two side plates 32 under the action of the conveyor belt 11, abuts against the back plate 31, and is located above the two bottom plates 33, the electric push rod 44 drives the piston 441 to extend outward, so that the turning frame 3 is turned on the conveyor belt 11 under the linkage action of the connecting frame 41, the first connecting rod 42 and the second connecting rod 43. At this time, the cake dough 2 without jam will be turned along with the turning frame 3 under the support of the two bottom plates 33. During the process, the cake dough without jam will be turned along with the turning frame 3. The cake dough 2 is tilted onto the back plate 31 in the turning frame 3 by its own gravity, and the turning frame 3 continues to turn over. The turned cake dough 2 slides along the inclined bottom plate 33 under the action of its own gravity, and gradually covers the cake dough 2 coated with sauce conveyed on the conveyor belt 11, and covers the sauce between the two cake doughs 2 to complete the production of the sandwich cake. The utility model has a simple structure and a reasonable design, and can automatically complete the turning over of the cake dough 2 and the compounding of the two cake doughs 2.

[0030] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited to this. Any non-substantial changes to the present invention using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
