Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of biscuit production technology, specifically relating to a biscuit forming device. Background Technology
[0002] In modern biscuit production, oven drying and shaping are key steps. Before baking, biscuit manufacturers first need to thoroughly knead the flour with ingredients such as eggs, sugar, oil, and leavening agents, and then press the mixture into molds to create biscuits of different shapes. However, the current biscuit demolding process is complex, requiring frequent mold changes, which leads to low production efficiency.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN216219839U discloses a biscuit forming device, which aims to solve the technical problems of existing dry forming devices, such as the difficulty in quickly changing the forming mold and the biscuits easily sticking to the mold and being difficult to remove quickly. The forming device includes a support platform and a turntable movably disposed above the support platform. A support body is fixedly installed on the upper part of the support platform, and an electric cylinder is fixedly installed on the upper part of the support body. The lower end of the telescopic rod of the electric cylinder passes through the support body and is fixedly installed with a pressure plate. A first groove with uniform distribution is fixedly opened on the upper part of the turntable, and a lower mold is movably disposed on the inner wall of the first groove. Both the upper and lower molds of this forming device can be quickly disassembled and assembled. When the air heating pipe and air pump are turned on, the gas from the air pump is heated by the air heating pipe, and the hot air is placed below the dough through the first and second vent holes, thereby facilitating the separation of the dough from the inner wall of the forming groove. However, frequent mold changes result in low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Example 1:
[0022] like Figures 1-7As shown, the present invention provides a biscuit forming device, including a frame 1 and a conveying mechanism 2. The frame 1 is fixedly mounted with a support plate 3, and the support plate 3 is fixedly mounted with a rotating mechanism 4 and a compaction mechanism 5. The conveying mechanism 2 is fixedly mounted with a demolding mechanism 6. A material conveying bridge plate 7 is provided between the conveying mechanism 2 and the rotating mechanism 4. The rotating mechanism 4 includes a rotating drive motor 8 and a rotating table 9. The rotating drive motor 8 drives and connects to the rotating table 9 through a gearbox 10. The rotating table 9 is fixedly clamped to a biscuit mold 12 by a fixing block 11. The compaction mechanism 5 includes a compaction robot 13 and a compaction plate 14. Hand 13 drives and connects to pressing plate 14. Demolding mechanism 6 includes demolding robot 15, moving table 16, clamping mechanism 17 and pressing mechanism 18. Demolding robot 15 drives and connects to moving table 16. Clamping mechanism 17 and pressing mechanism 18 are fixedly installed on moving table 16. Clamping mechanism 17 includes clamping cylinder 19, left clamping frame 20 and right clamping frame 21. Clamping cylinder 19 drives and connects to left clamping frame 20 and right clamping frame 21. Pressing mechanism 18 includes pressing cylinder 22 and pressing frame 23. Pressing cylinder 22 drives and connects to pressing frame 23. Pressing frame 23 is fixedly installed with pressing plate 24. Fixed block 11 has protrusion 25. Protrusion 25 has assembly hole 26. Assembly hole 26 elastically abuts against ball bearing 28 through spring 27. Biscuit mold 12 has bayonet 29. Protrusion 25 is fixedly engaged with bayonet 29 through ball bearing 28. The pressing cylinder 22 elastically abuts against the pressing frame 23 via the elastic buffer assembly 30. Both the left clamping frame 20 and the right clamping frame 21 are equipped with chucks 31, and anti-slip rubber blocks 32 are fixedly installed on the chucks 31. The gearbox 10 is driven by an angle limiting shaft 33, and a baffle 34 is fixedly installed on the angle limiting shaft 33. The support plate is fixedly installed with a limiting light grid 36 via a support 35.
[0023] Through the above technical solution, the rotating mechanism 4 of this utility model is provided with a rotating platform 9. The rotating platform 9 is fixedly clamped to the biscuit mold 12 by a fixing block 11. When the worker puts the dough into the biscuit mold 12, the rotating platform 9 rotates the biscuit mold 12 to the compaction mechanism 5. The compaction robot 13 drives the compaction plate 14 to press down, compacting the dough in the biscuit mold 12. The rotating platform 9 then moves the biscuit mold 12 to the demolding mechanism 6. The demolding robot 15 of the demolding mechanism 6 drives the moving platform to move down, so that the left clamping frame 20 and the right clamping frame 21 of the clamping mechanism 17 are close to the biscuit mold 12. The clamping cylinder 19 drives the left clamping frame 20 and the right clamping frame 21 to move closer to the biscuit mold 12. The holder 21 clamps the biscuit mold 12. At this time, the demolding robot 15 is activated and drags the biscuit mold 12 horizontally into the conveying mechanism. At this time, the pressing cylinder 22 of the pressing mechanism 18 drives the pressing frame 23 to move down, so that the pressing plate 24 presses on the biscuit in the biscuit mold 12. The demolding robot 15 is activated and lifts the biscuit mold 12 vertically through the clamping mechanism. Under the action of the pressing plate, the biscuit in the biscuit mold 12 is quickly demolded. At this time, the demolding robot 15 is activated and moves the demolded biscuit mold 12 and places it on the rotary table 9. Through the automated cooperation of the rotating mechanism 4, the compacting mechanism 5 and the demolding mechanism 6, the production efficiency is improved.
[0024] Example 2:
[0025] like Figures 1-7 As shown, a support plate 3 is fixedly installed on the frame 1 of this utility model. A rotating mechanism 4 and a compacting mechanism 5 are installed on the support plate 3, while a demolding mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on the conveying mechanism. To move the pressed dough biscuit mold 12 from the rotating mechanism 4 to the conveying mechanism, a feed bridge plate 7 is provided between the conveying mechanism and the rotating table 9 of the rotating mechanism 4. The rotating mechanism 4 includes a rotating drive motor 8 and a rotating table 9. The motor drives the rotating table 9 through a gearbox 10, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the biscuit mold 12 during rotation. The rotating table 9 is fixedly engaged with the biscuit mold 12 by a fixing block 11, ensuring the biscuit mold 12 is stably rotated and transported on the rotating table 9.
[0026] The compaction mechanism 5 consists of a compaction robot 13 and a compaction plate 14. The compaction robot 13 drives the compaction plate 14 to compact the dough, ensuring the density and shape of the biscuit after molding. The demolding mechanism 6 includes a demolding robot 15, a moving plate 16, a clamping mechanism 17, and a pressing mechanism 18. The demolding robot 15 drives the moving plate 16, which is fixedly equipped with the clamping mechanism 17 and the pressing mechanism 18. These two mechanisms work together to achieve smooth demolding of the biscuit. The clamping mechanism 17 consists of a clamping cylinder 19, a left clamping frame 20, and a right clamping frame 21. The clamping cylinder 19 drives the left clamping frame 20 and the right clamping frame 21 to ensure stable clamping of the biscuit mold 12 during the demolding process. The pressing mechanism 18 consists of a pressing cylinder 22 and a pressing frame 23. The pressing cylinder 22 drives the pressing frame 23, and the pressing frame 23 is fixedly equipped with a pressing plate 24, which is used to apply pressure to the biscuit during the demolding process to help the biscuit detach from the biscuit mold 12.
[0027] During the cookie forming process, the worker first places the dough into the cookie mold 12. The rotary table 9 then rotates the cookie mold 12 containing the dough and moves it below the compaction mechanism 5. The compaction robot 13 then drives the compaction plate 14 to press down, compacting the dough in the cookie mold 12 to ensure the uniformity and appearance of the cookie after forming. Subsequently, the rotary table 9 moves the cookie mold 12 below the demolding mechanism 6.
[0028] The demolding robot 15 of the demolding mechanism 6 drives the moving table to move downwards, bringing the left clamping frame 20 and right clamping frame 21 of the clamping mechanism 17 closer to the biscuit mold 12. The clamping cylinder 19 then drives the left clamping frame 20 and right clamping frame 21 to clamp the biscuit mold 12, ensuring the stability of the mold during demolding. The demolding robot 15 starts and horizontally drags the biscuit mold 12 into the conveying mechanism. At this time, the pressing cylinder 22 of the pressing mechanism 18 drives the pressing frame 23 to move downwards, so that the pressing plate 24 presses onto the biscuit of the biscuit mold 12.
[0029] The demolding robot 15 restarts and vertically lifts the cookie mold 12 using the clamping mechanism. Under the pressure of the pressing plate 24, the cookie inside the mold 12 is quickly demolded. This process not only improves demolding efficiency but also reduces damage to the cookie shape, ensuring the integrity of the cookie. After demolding, the demolding robot 15 moves the cookie mold 12 back onto the rotary table 9, preparing it for the next molding cycle.
[0030] Through the automated coordination of the rotating mechanism 4, the compacting mechanism 5, and the demolding mechanism 6, this biscuit forming device can significantly improve production efficiency, reduce manual operation, and lower production costs.
[0031] The fixing block 11 of this invention has a protrusion 25 that mates with the latch 29 of the cookie mold 12, temporarily fixing the cookie mold 12 on the rotating table 9. The protrusion 25 has a mounting hole 26, within which a ball bearing 28 is elastically abutted by a spring 27. The cookie mold 12 has a latch 29 that matches the protrusion 25, and the protrusion 25 engages with the latch 29 via the ball bearing 28. Utilizing the rolling characteristics of the ball bearing 28, the cookie mold 12 can be quickly fixed and released.
[0032] During the demolding process, the demolding robot 15 needs to pick up the cookie mold 12 and fix the cookie mold 12 by elastic contact with the ball bearing 28, making this operation simpler and faster.
[0033] The pressing cylinder 22 of this invention is connected to the pressing frame 23 via an elastic buffer assembly 30. The elastic buffer assembly 30 reduces the pressure exerted on the biscuit by the pressing frame 23, preventing damage to the biscuit during demolding. The elastic buffer assembly 30 is made of a spring 27 or rubber material, which absorbs impact force when the pressing frame 23 moves downward, reducing direct pressure on the biscuit and protecting its integrity. During demolding, the demolding robot 15 moves the biscuit mold 12 upward, at which point the elastic buffer assembly 30 plays a crucial role. It not only absorbs the impact force during the upward movement but also continuously provides the necessary pressure to the biscuit while the biscuit mold 12 moves upward, facilitating the smooth removal of the biscuit from the mold.
[0034] In this invention, both the left clamping frame 20 and the right clamping frame 21 are fixedly fitted with clamps 31, which are components that directly contact the cookie mold 12. To ensure that the cookie mold 12 can be firmly clamped during demolding and to prevent the mold from slipping, each clamp 31 is fixedly fitted with an anti-slip rubber block 32. These anti-slip rubber blocks 32 are made of a material with a high coefficient of friction, which can provide sufficient friction during clamping, thereby ensuring the stability of the cookie mold 12 during demolding.
[0035] The gearbox 10 of this invention is driven by an angle limiting shaft 33, and a baffle 34 is fixedly installed on the angle limiting shaft 33. A limiting grating 36 is fixedly installed on the support plate 3 via a bracket 35. Through the limiting grating 36, the controller precisely controls the rotation angle of the rotary table 9.
