The mold has a channel matching the diameter of the shaping tube. The bottom surface of the mold has a base plate that blocks the opening of the through hole. The shaping tube is placed in the channel. A rectangular opening is provided on one side of the mold. A first gear is provided in the rectangular opening. A linkage mechanism is provided on one side of the mold that meshes with the first gear and synchronously drives the base plate to open and close. The pressure column is vertically arranged in the opening at the other end of the through hole. Multiple first protruding teeth are vertically installed on the outer ring surface of the pressure column. The first protruding teeth are meshed with the gear. A cylinder is installed at the end of the pressure column away from the mold. A fixing frame is installed between the cylinder and the mold.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution, the linkage mechanism includes a first synchronous pulley, a second synchronous pulley, a synchronous belt, a second gear, and multiple second convex teeth. The first and second synchronous pulleys are arranged one above the other on the outside of the mold. A first shaft is installed between the first synchronous pulley and the first gear. The synchronous belt is installed on the outside of the first and second synchronous pulleys. The second gear is installed on the outer surface of the second synchronous pulley. A panel is installed on one side of the base plate. Multiple second convex teeth are installed on the panel, and the second convex teeth are meshed with the second gear.
[0006] As a preferred technical solution, the mold is provided with a shaft hole opposite to the first gear, the first shaft is disposed inside the shaft hole, one end of the first shaft is fixedly connected to the first gear, the other end extends to the outside and is fixedly connected to the first timing belt, and a first bearing is installed in the opening at one end of the shaft hole, and the inner ring of the first bearing is fixedly connected to the first shaft.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution, a second bearing is embedded in the outer side of the mold, which is directly opposite the second synchronous wheel.

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a shaping device of this utility model includes a shaping tube 18, a mold 1, and a pressure column 4. The mold 1 is provided with a channel 17 that matches the diameter of the shaping tube 18. The bottom surface of the mold 1 is provided with a bottom plate 15 that blocks the opening of the through hole. The shaping tube 18 is disposed in the channel 17. A rectangular opening 2 is provided on one side of the mold 1. A first gear 3 is provided in the rectangular opening 2. A linkage mechanism is provided on one side of the mold 1 that meshes with the first gear 3 and synchronously drives the bottom plate 15 to open and close. The pressure column 4 is vertically disposed in the opening at the other end of the through hole. Multiple first protruding teeth 5 are vertically mounted on the outer ring surface of the pressure column 4. The first protruding teeth 5 are meshed with the gear. A cylinder 6 is installed at the end of the pressure column 4 away from the mold 1. A fixing frame 7 is installed between the cylinder 6 and the mold 1.
[0021] In this embodiment, the linkage mechanism includes a first synchronous pulley 8, a second synchronous pulley, a synchronous belt 9, a second gear 10, and multiple second convex teeth 14. The first synchronous pulley 8 and the second synchronous pulley are arranged one above the other on the outside of the mold 1. A first shaft is installed between the first synchronous pulley 8 and the first gear 3. The synchronous belt 9 is installed on the outside of the first synchronous pulley 8 and the second synchronous pulley. The second gear 10 is installed on the outer surface of the second synchronous pulley. A panel 16 is installed on one side of the base plate 15. Multiple second convex teeth 14 are installed on the panel 16, and the second convex teeth 14 are meshed with the second gear 10.
[0022] In this embodiment, the mold 1 is provided with a shaft hole opposite to the first gear 3. The first shaft is disposed inside the shaft hole. One end of the first shaft is fixedly connected to the first gear 3, and the other end extends to the outside and is fixedly connected to the first synchronous belt 9. A first bearing is installed in the opening at one end of the shaft hole, and the inner ring of the first bearing is fixedly connected to the first shaft.
[0023] In this embodiment, a second bearing is embedded on the outer side of the mold 1, directly opposite the second synchronous wheel. A second shaft is installed in the inner ring of the second bearing, and the other end of the second shaft is fixedly connected to the second synchronous wheel. The first and second synchronous wheels can be positioned by the first and second shafts, so that the first and second synchronous wheels can only rotate around their corresponding axes.
[0024] In this embodiment, support frames 11 are installed on both sides of the mold 1, and a base 12 is installed at the other end of the support frame 11.
[0025] In this embodiment, the bottom surface of the mold 1 is provided with multiple positioning grooves 13, and positioning blocks are slidably installed in each positioning groove 13. One side of each positioning block is installed on the base plate 15. A compression spring is installed between the positioning block and the positioning groove 13. The cross-sections of the positioning groove 13 and the positioning block are both set in a trapezoidal structure, so that the base plate can only move back and forth along the positioning groove, avoiding the base plate from directly detaching.
[0026] Before operation, the pomelo is processed, and then the shaping tube is inserted into the channel until it contacts the bottom plate. Then, the pre-pressed fruit is placed into the opening of the shaping tube through the channel opening. The cylinder is activated, causing the piston rod of the cylinder to extend. The extension of the piston rod drives the pressing column, which presses the fruit into the shaping tube. After the pressing column moves to a certain extent, the bottom plate can open automatically, and the shaping tube can come out from below, thus completing the process of inserting the fruit.
[0027] During the descent of the pressure column, the first convex tooth drives the rotation of the first gear. The rotation of the first gear drives the first shaft and the first synchronous pulley. The first synchronous pulley drives the second synchronous pulley and the second gear through the synchronous belt. The rotation of the second gear drives the second convex tooth and the panel. The panel can push the base plate to move to one side along the positioning groove. As the base plate moves, the opening at one end of the channel will be fully opened, so that the shaping tube can be automatically pushed down by the pressure column, which facilitates its disassembly.
[0028] Conversely, after the pressure column rises, it drives the second gear, the first synchronous pulley, the second synchronous pulley, the synchronous belt, and the first gear to rotate in the opposite direction. This causes the base plate to return to its original position along the positioning groove, blocking the opening below the channel. After the pressure column moves out of the opening at the top of the channel, the first gear disengages from the first tooth. At this time, the rebound of the compression spring pulls the positioning block and the base plate, allowing the base plate to fully return to its original position and keeping the opening above the channel open, making it easier to put the fruit back in.
[0029] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions conceived without inventive effort should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
