DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figure 1-4 A mooncake automatic forming device includes a conveyor frame 1, a conveyor device 2 is provided on the top of the conveyor frame 1, and a bracket 3 is fixedly installed above the conveyor device 2. A forming device 5 is provided on the bracket 3 through a driving member 4. The forming device 5 includes a mold base 51 and a mold plate 52;

[0022] Among them, the driving member 4 has an output shaft, and an extension rod 41 is fixedly connected to the output shaft. A locking member 6 is provided between the extension rod 41 and the mold base 51. The locking member 6 is used to lock the extension rod 41. The extension rod 41 and the mold plate 52 are detachably connected through a fixing component 7.

[0023] It should be added that the conveying device 2 includes a pair of rollers, which are rotatably connected to both sides of the top of the conveying frame 1, and a conveyor belt 21 is sleeved therebetween. A drive motor is fixedly installed at one end of the conveying frame 1, and the shaft end of the drive motor is connected to the end of one of the rollers.

[0024] Among them, the driving part 4 is a cylinder, which drives the shaft and drives the forming device 5 to move to form the mooncakes. In addition, the top of the mold base 51 is connected to the external pneumatic device air circuit through a pipe. After the mooncake is formed, the internal space of the mold base 51 is filled. At this time, the pneumatic device is used to inflate the interior of the mold base 51 to prevent the mooncakes from sticking and being unable to be unloaded. Of course, the mold base 51 is provided with a sealing gasket at the through hole to ensure good air tightness.

[0025] It is worth mentioning that a sensor can be set under the bracket 3 to detect the position of the moon cake. The sensor and the cylinder are connected to the control unit. The electric signal cylinder of the moon cake position is detected to drive the forming device 5 to punch.

[0026] Furthermore, the conveying device 2 includes a conveyor belt 21, which is arranged on the top of the conveying frame 1 through a pair of rollers, wherein a support plate 11 is fixedly installed on the side of the conveying frame 1 below the top side of the conveyor belt 21, and the support plate 11 is arranged corresponding to the mold base 51.

[0027] Specifically, the support plate 11 is arranged below one side of the top of the conveyor belt 21 and does not contact the conveyor belt 21. The support plate 11 is used to receive the moon cakes and support the mold plate 52, so that the two ends of the moon cakes can be subjected to force for molding.

[0028] Furthermore, a through hole is provided on the top of the mold base 51, and a U-shaped frame 53 is fixedly connected thereto. The U-shaped frame 53 is provided with a clearance groove corresponding to the through hole, wherein a compression spring 54 is provided on the outer sleeve of the extension rod 41, and the compression spring 54 passes through the clearance groove and is slidably connected to the through hole, and both ends of the compression spring 54 abut against the bracket 3 and the U-shaped frame 53.

[0029] In more detail, the locking member 6 includes a locking portion 61, which is arranged at the through hole and rotatably connected to the top of the mold base 51. The bottom of the extension rod 41 is penetrated by the locking portion 61, and its top is threadedly connected to the locking portion 61.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that the top of the extension rod 41 is provided with a thread, and the top of the extension rod 41 does not contact the clearance groove to prevent the thread from being stuck with the U-shaped frame. That is, the extension rod 41 is guided and moved by slidingly connecting the bottom end with the mold base 51.

[0031] The compression spring 54 provides a certain amount of buffer travel for the mold plate 52 to prevent the mold plate 52 from applying excessive pressure to the mooncakes, which may cause poor quality. Of course, when the cylinder drives the extension rod 41 to rise and unlocks the extension rod 41, the compression spring 54 can reset the extension rod 41 and the mold plate 52.

[0032] In addition, the bottom end of the extension rod 41 is a smooth section, that is, after the threaded section is locked and fixed, the smooth section is arranged on the periphery of the mold base 51, which is convenient for disassembly of the mold plate 52. Under normal circumstances, the extension rod 41 has a shorter stroke when punching mooncakes, which prevents the mold plate 52 from detaching from the mold base 51.

[0033] In general, the fixing assembly 7 includes an annular portion 71, the mold plate 52 is arranged in the mold base 51, and has the annular portion 71 on the side close to the extension rod 41, and a pair of unlocking rods 72 are slidably connected in the annular portion 71 through a connecting sliding groove, and the opposite ends of the pair of unlocking rods 72 contact and slide with the inner wall of the mold base 51, and a spring 73 is fixedly connected between the opposite ends.

[0034] Finally, it also includes a claw 74, which is arranged at the top of the opposite ends of a pair of unlocking rods 72. The free end of the extension rod 41 is provided with a slot 75, and the claw 74 is L-shaped and is engaged with the slot 75.

[0035] It should be added that the opposite ends of a pair of unlocking rods 72 contact and slide with the inner wall of the mold base 51, and the friction can also be reduced by rotating the connecting roller, wherein the midpoint of the slide groove passes through the annular portion 71 upward to form a movable groove, and a pair of claws 74 are slidably connected in the movable groove to avoid getting stuck when unlocking the extension rod 41.

[0036] The pair of unlocking rods 72 are affected by the squeezing of the inner wall of the mold base 51 and move relative to each other, and then the pair of claws 74 move relative to each other, and fix the extension rod 41 and the mold plate 52 by engaging the card slot 75;

[0037] Of course, after the mold plate 52 is separated from the mold base 51 , the pair of unlocking rods 72 lose their resistance and move relative to each other under the support of the spring 73 to unlock the mold plate 52 .

[0038] Working mode: When working, the extruder extrude the mooncake material, and then feed it through the conveying device 2. After the sensor detects the position of the mooncake, the electric signal cylinder drives the forming device 5 to punch the mooncake;

[0039] During stamping, the compression spring 54 provides a certain amount of buffer travel for the mold plate 52 to prevent the mold plate 52 from applying excessive pressure to the mooncakes, which may cause poor quality. Of course, when the cylinder drives the extension rod 41 to rise and unlocks the extension rod 41, the compression spring 54 can reset the extension rod 41 and the mold plate 52.

[0040] When the mold plate 52 needs to be replaced, push the mold base 51 to raise it, and then rotate the locking piece 6 to fix the extension rod 41. At this time, the mold plate 52 is separated from the mold base 51, and the pair of unlocking rods 72 lose their resistance and move toward each other under the thrust of the spring 73. The pair of claws 74 are separated from the slots 75, and the mold plate 52 can be removed.

[0041] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
