Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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 protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] In one embodiment, a hand clamp for initial cutting of steamed bun dough is provided, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the initial cutting gripper for the steamed bun dough includes two gripper assemblies 1 arranged opposite each other. The two gripper assemblies 1 have the same structure and are arranged symmetrically from left to right. Taking the left gripper assembly 1 as an example, the gripper assembly 1 includes a cutter 11 and a handle 12. The cutter 11 is mounted on the handle 12, which is a vertical rod. A spring 13 is provided between the cutter 11 and the handle 12, so that the cutter 11 can extend and retract up and down on the handle 12 when subjected to force. Specifically, when the cutter 11 is subjected to an upward resisting pressure, it can extend and retract along the handle 12. The blade moves upward, causing the spring 13 to compress or extend. When the upward resistance is released, the blade 11 returns to its original position under the restoring force of the spring 13. The blade 11 includes a blade body 111, and a vertical blade edge 112 is provided on one side of the blade body 111. The blade edge 112 is roughly a triangular prism, which gradually narrows from one side to the other. The narrowest part of the blade edge 112 is the blade edge 1121. The blade edge of each of the two gripping assemblies 1 clamps the adjacent steamed bun dough pieces to perform initial cutting.
[0024] In combination Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the initial cutting clamp for steamed bun blanks is used as follows: (1) Figure 6 The initial cutting clamp for steamed bun blanks is a part of the steamed bun blank forming device, and the steamed bun blank forming device is provided with a conveyor belt (not shown in the figure) below the initial cutting clamp for steamed bun blanks. The conveyor belt is used to convey the dough column for making steamed bun blanks. The conveyor belt is provided with a support plate (not shown in the figure) that is driven by the driving mechanism of the steamed bun machine to move up and down. When the support plate moves upward, the conveyor belt and the dough column above it are lifted up, so that the dough column comes into contact with each shaping component of the steamed bun blank forming device, and finally forms a steamed bun blank. (2) Figure 6 The frame 400 of the steamed bun blank forming device in the figure is provided with a first longitudinal rod 401 and a second longitudinal rod 402. The two clamp assemblies 1 of the initial cutting clamp for steamed bun blanks are installed on the first longitudinal rod 401 and the second longitudinal rod 402, respectively. The first longitudinal rod 401 and the second longitudinal rod 402 can be driven by the driving mechanism of the steamed bun blank forming device to move closer to or farther away from each other, thereby driving the two clamp assemblies 1 of the initial cutting clamp for steamed bun blanks to move closer to or farther away from each other. (3) When the dough column is conveyed to the position of the initial cutting clamp for steamed bun blanks by the conveyor belt, the dough column has been shaped into the initial shape of the steamed bun blank by the front vertical extrusion block 700, the two pairs of clamp rollers 500 and the rear vertical extrusion block 600. The front vertical extrusion block 700 is mainly vertically extruded, and the rear vertical extrusion block 600 is thin at the bottom and is used for vertical cutting. At this time, the dough between adjacent steamed bun blanks is still connected by a dough strip. When the two clamp assemblies 1 move closer to each other, the dough strip connecting the adjacent steamed bun blanks can be further cut, so that the dough strip connecting the adjacent steamed bun blanks is narrowed and thinned or even broken (depending on the distance between the two clamp assemblies 1 when they move closer to each other), thereby preparing for the subsequent complete cutting of the dough strip.
[0025] The advantages of the initial cutting clamp for steamed bun blanks are as follows: In the complete steamed bun blank forming device, the initial cutting component located before the initial cutting clamp for steamed bun blanks is the rear vertical extrusion block 600. The rear vertical extrusion block 600 is used to cut the dough strip connecting the steamed bun blanks shaped by the two pairs of clamp rollers 500. The dough strip after being cut by the rear vertical extrusion block 600 is relatively wide. After being cut by the initial cutting clamp for steamed bun blanks, the dough strip connecting the adjacent steamed bun blanks is narrowed and thinned. Therefore, when the thin dough strip connecting the adjacent steamed bun blanks is completely cut by other components, the cut is small, and the small cut is easier to shape, so that the surface of the finally shaped steamed bun blank is smoother, and the steamed bun skin will not be damaged. Because the cutting knife 11 can stretch up and down on the handle 12 when it is stressed, the conveyor belt supported by the support plate and the cutting knife 11 are in soft contact, which avoids damage to the conveyor belt and makes the conveyor belt move up and down more freely.
[0026] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figures 4-5 As shown, the initial cutting gripper for the steamed bun dough has a handle guide hole 1111 in the blade body 111 of the cutter 11 that matches the handle 12. The lower part of the handle 12 is located in the handle guide hole 1111. A bottom cover 14 connected to the handle 12 is located at the bottom of the blade body 111, supporting the blade body 111. A spring groove 121 is provided in the middle of the handle 12, and a spring 13 is located in the spring groove 121. The upper middle area of the handle guide hole 1111 is expanded into a spring hole 1112 that matches the spring 13. The lower end of the spring 13 rests on the stepped surface at the bottom of the spring hole 1112. When the cutter 11 is subjected to upward pressure, the cutter 11 slides upward relative to the handle 12, compressing the spring 13. When the cutter 11 is no longer subjected to upward pressure, the spring 13 rebounds downward, causing the cutter 11 to slide downward relative to the handle 12 and return to its original position.
[0027] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the lower end of the blade portion 112 of the initial cutting gripper of the steamed bun dough extends downward relative to the blade body portion 111. The length of the downward extension of the blade body portion 111 depends on the distance that the cutter 11 moves upward relative to the handle 12, so as to ensure that the bottom cover 14 does not hit the bottom conveyor belt.
[0028] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the bottom surface of the blade 111 of the initial cutting gripper of the steamed bun dough is flat, so that the bottom surface of the blade 111 is in surface contact with the bottom conveyor belt, thus avoiding damage to the conveyor belt.
[0029] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the bottom cover 14 of the initial cutting clamp for the steamed bun dough is connected to the bottom surface of the knife handle 12 by screws. In other embodiments, the bottom cover 14 and the knife handle 12 can also be directly screwed together.
[0030] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figures 1-2 As shown, the blade 1121 of the initial cutting clamp of the steamed bun dough is an arc-shaped blade. When the arc-shaped blunt blade comes into contact with the dough strip connecting the adjacent steamed bun dough, it will not leave obvious indentations on the dough strip, making the surface of the steamed bun dough smooth.
[0031] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figures 1-2As shown, the hand clamping assembly 1 of the initial cutting hand clamping of the steamed bread blank further comprises a first mounting block 15 and a second mounting block 16, the top of the knife handle 12 is mounted in the first mounting block 15, and the first mounting block 15 is mounted at the bottom of the second mounting block 16, wherein a knife handle fixing hole is arranged at the bottom of the first mounting block 15, the top end of the knife handle 12 is mounted in the knife handle fixing hole, and then the knife handle is fixed by arranging a clamping screw at the side of the first mounting block. The bottom of the second mounting block 16 is provided with a transverse sliding groove, and the top of the first mounting block 15 is provided with a transverse protrusion matched with the transverse sliding groove, wherein the transverse sliding groove and the transverse protrusion are both dovetail-shaped, the mounting position of the first mounting block 15 at the bottom of the second mounting block 16 can be adjusted, so as to adjust the spacing of the cutting knives 11 of the two hand clamping assemblies 1, and after the first mounting block 15 is mounted, a screw is screwed into the side of the second mounting block 16 to clamp the transverse protrusion. The top of the second mounting block 16 is further provided with a longitudinal sliding groove, and the longitudinal sliding groove is matched with a sliding rail arranged at the bottom of the first longitudinal rod 401 (or the second longitudinal rod 402), so that the mounting position of the second mounting block 16 on the first longitudinal rod 401 (or the second longitudinal rod 402) can be adjusted, and then the second mounting block is fixed by arranging a clamping screw at the side of the second mounting block. Figure 6 As shown, the bottom of the first longitudinal rod 401 and the second longitudinal rod 402 is provided with a sliding rail, and the longitudinal sliding groove is matched with the sliding rail, so that the mounting position of the second mounting block 16 on the first longitudinal rod 401 (or the second longitudinal rod 402) can be adjusted, and then the second mounting block is fixed by arranging a clamping screw at the side of the second mounting block.
