Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic forming conveyor, including: a toothed chain conveyor 1; the toothed chain conveyor 1 includes two symmetrical toothed chains and a locking mechanism, which controls the tension of the toothed chains for assembly and disassembly. Multiple sets of symmetrical connecting plates 2 are fixed sequentially on the outer wall of the toothed chains of the toothed chain conveyor 1, and ice dumpling templates 4 are provided between the symmetrical connecting plates 2. Triangular material grooves are fixed on the outer wall of the ice dumpling templates 4. The top of each connecting plate 2 is provided with a first threaded groove 3. The outer wall of the ice dumpling templates 4 is provided with corresponding first insertion holes 5. A frame 6 is fixed on the outer wall of the toothed chain conveyor 1. An adjustable oil nozzle 7 is fixed on the top of the frame 6. The spraying end of the adjustable oil nozzle 7 is vertically downward toward the triangular material groove of the ice dumpling template 4.

[0026] In the toothed chain conveyor 1, the symmetrical connecting plates 2 between the two toothed chains are used to install the ice dumpling template 4. The triangular material groove of the ice dumpling template 4 is used to place and stabilize the initially formed triangular ice dumpling. The ice dumpling template 4 is connected to the bolt by inserting it into the first insertion hole 5, and then the bolt is threaded to the first threaded groove 3 of the connecting plate 2, thereby fixing the ice dumpling template 4 and the connecting plate 2 together. The ice dumpling template 4 can be disassembled and replaced by removing the bolt. The adjustable oil nozzle 7 can adjust the amount of oil sprayed according to the replacement of the ice dumpling template 4.

[0027] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a symmetrical groove 12 at one end of the toothed chain conveyor 1. The toothed chain conveyor 1 also includes a fixed shaft rod, a sliding shaft rod 13 and two pairs of gears. The two ends of the fixed shaft rod are rotatably connected to one end of the conveyor mechanism, and the two ends of the sliding shaft rod 13 are slidably connected to the two grooves 12.

[0028] The locking mechanism assists the sliding shaft 13 in translation via its slide groove 12. The translation of the sliding shaft 13 controls the tension of the two toothed chains, thereby assisting in the assembly and disassembly of the toothed chains.

[0029] Preferably, both ends of the sliding shaft 13 are provided with second threaded grooves 15, and the outer wall of the toothed chain conveyor 1 is provided with a second insertion hole 14 that communicates with the sliding groove 12.

[0030] Insert the bolt through the second insertion hole 14 to make one end of the bolt threadedly connected to the second threaded groove 15 of the sliding shaft rod 13, which can lock the sliding shaft rod 13 and prevent it from sliding. This allows the toothed chain to be stretched for stable operation. Similarly, removing the bolt can control the sliding of the sliding shaft rod 13 and assist in disassembling the toothed chain.

[0031] Preferably, one pair of the two pairs of gears is fixed to the fixed shaft and meshes with the two gear chains respectively, while the other pair of the two pairs of gears is rotatably connected to the sliding shaft 13 and meshes with the two gear chains respectively.

[0032] The two gears of the fixed shaft rod mesh with one end of the two toothed chains, and the two gears of the sliding shaft rod 13 mesh with the other end of the toothed chains, assisting each other in the rotation of the toothed chains.

[0033] Preferably, two symmetrical hanging plates 10 are fixed on the outer wall of the toothed chain conveyor 1. One end of each hanging plate 10 is rotatably connected to a lifting gear 11, and the two lifting gears 11 mesh with two toothed chains respectively.

[0034] The lifting gears 11 of the two hanging plates 10 are located in the middle section of the toothed chain conveyor 1, and mesh with the toothed chain below it, so that the middle section of the toothed chain will not fall down when it rotates and affect the operation.

[0035] Preferably, a motor housing 18 is fixed at one end of the toothed chain conveyor 1, and the transmission end of the motor housing 18 is connected to one end of the fixed shaft.

[0036] The motor housing 18 has a built-in drive motor, whose drive end outputs control the rotation of the fixed shaft rod.

[0037] Preferably, a bracket 8 is fixed to the outer wall of the toothed chain conveyor 1, and an oil pump 9 is fixed to the top of the bracket 8;

[0038] The oil pump 9 installed on the toothed chain conveyor 1 is used to connect to the external oil pipeline and transfer the oil to the adjustable nozzle 7 for injection.

[0039] Preferably, the bottom of the toothed chain conveyor 1 is fixed with a support leg 16, and one end of the support leg 16 is fixed with a caster wheel 17;

[0040] The toothed chain conveyor 1 is supported by outriggers 16 and moved by casters 17.

[0041] One specific application of this embodiment is as follows: Initially formed batches of ice-filled rice dumpling products are placed in the triangular grooves of multiple ice-filled rice dumpling templates 4. Then, the toothed chain of the toothed conveyor 1 rotates, simultaneously driving the ice-filled rice dumpling templates 4 to pass sequentially under the adjustable oil nozzle 7 at one end of the frame 6, ensuring the triangular grooves face the spraying end of the adjustable oil nozzle 7. As the ice-filled rice dumpling templates 4 pass, the oil pump 9 transfers oil to the adjustable oil nozzle 7, which then sprays the oil onto the outer skin of the ice-filled rice dumpling. Upon discharge... To prevent the ice dumplings from sticking together, the ice dumpling template 4 can be disassembled and installed at one end of the connecting plate 2, allowing for the replacement of ice dumpling templates 4 with more sizes and specifications, thus increasing its processing versatility. When the toothed chain needs daily disassembly, maintenance, or replacement, the bolts that are threaded into the second threaded groove 15 of the sliding shaft rod 13 through the second insertion hole 14 can be removed, allowing the sliding shaft rod 13 to slide in the sliding groove 12, making it easier for the toothed chain to disengage from the gear. Alternatively, when reinstalling the toothed chain, the sliding shaft rod 13 can be re-fixed with bolts to tighten the toothed chain.
