Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of bread mold technology, specifically to a mold for bread production. Background Technology

[0002] In the bread production industry, molds are crucial tools that play a decisive role in the quality of bread shaping and production efficiency. Traditional bread production molds are mostly one-piece structures, lacking flexibility when facing varying batch production demands. To produce different quantities of bread, businesses either use excessively large molds, leading to resource waste, or are limited by the number of molds needed to meet order volumes, making it difficult to flexibly increase or decrease the number of molds according to actual production scale. For example, a small bakery may only need a few molds to make a small amount of bread in its daily operations, but during holidays when orders increase, the one-piece molds cannot be quickly expanded to meet production needs.

[0003] Traditional molds also have significant shortcomings in height adjustment. Bread thickness varies depending on the product type, requiring precise mold height adjustment. However, traditional molds often struggle to achieve precise control, relying mostly on manual experience for approximate adjustments. This results in inconsistent bread thickness, severely impacting product consistency and quality stability. For example, when producing French baguettes with strict thickness requirements, traditional molds struggle to ensure uniform thickness for each loaf. The bread demolding process also presents challenges for bread producers. Traditionally, demolding is done manually, which is not only labor-intensive but also makes the bread highly susceptible to damage from handling, reducing the yield. Utility Model Content

[0029] See attached document Figures 1-6 A bread production mold includes several detachably connected mold units 1. Each mold unit 1 includes a rectangular frame 4, a lifting base plate 5, a base 6, support components 7, and an adjustment mechanism 8. The lifting base plate 5 is slidably installed inside the rectangular frame 4. The base 6 is located below the rectangular frame 4. The base 6 and the rectangular frame 4 are connected by several support components 7. The base 6 is provided with an adjustment mechanism 8. The output end of the adjustment mechanism 8 is connected to the lifting base plate 5. The adjustment mechanism 8 is used to adjust the height of the lifting base plate 5 inside the rectangular frame 4.

[0030] Two rectangular frames 4 are symmetrically provided with connecting grooves 2 on their sides that are close to each other. The connecting grooves 2 are T-shaped, and the two connecting grooves 2 are spliced ​​together to form an H-shape. The two connecting grooves 2 are fixedly connected by an H-shaped connecting block 3.

[0031] The support assembly 7 includes an integrally formed support column 71, a connecting column 72, and a connecting foot 73. The connecting column 72 is located at the upper end of the support column 71, and the connecting foot 73 is located at the lower end of the support column 71. The connecting foot 73 is installed on the base 6 by bolts and nuts. The bottom of the rectangular frame 4 has a connecting hole that mates with the connecting column 72.

[0032] The adjusting mechanism 8 includes two pairs of bearing seats 81 fixed on the base 6. A rotating shaft 83 is rotatably installed between the bearing seats 81. Two fixing blocks 86 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the lifting base plate 5. Two connecting rods 84 are fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 83. Each connecting rod 84 is located between a pair of bearing seats 81. A connecting rod 85 is rotatably installed on the fixing block 86. The connecting rods 84 and 85 are rotatably connected.

[0033] The base 6 is also provided with a bracket 82. The rotating shaft 83 is rotatably mounted on the bracket 82 through a bearing. One end of the rotating shaft 83 extends out of the bracket 82 and is connected to the drive component 9. The drive component 9 is a crank handle or a geared motor.

[0034] Working principle

[0035] Mold assembly: Assemble multiple mold units 1. Bring two adjacent rectangular frames 4 close to each other so that the T-shaped connecting grooves 2 on one side of them are aligned and spliced ​​into an H-shape. Then, insert the H-shaped connecting block 3 into the spliced ​​connecting groove 2 to achieve a detachable connection between the rectangular frames 4, thereby combining multiple mold units 1 into the required bread production mold.

[0036] Install the connecting foot 73 of the support component 7 onto the base 6 using bolts and nuts, and then insert the connecting post 72 into the corresponding connecting hole at the bottom of the rectangular frame 4 to complete the connection of the support component 7 to the rectangular frame 4 and the base 6.

[0037] Height adjustment of lifting platform 5: When it is necessary to adjust the height of lifting platform 5 within the rectangular frame 4, activate drive component 9. If drive component 9 is a crank, the operator holds the crank and rotates it. The rotation of the crank drives the connected shaft 83 to rotate between bearing seat 81 and bracket 82. Since two connecting rods 84 are fixedly installed on the shaft 83, and each connecting rod 84 is located between a pair of bearing seats 81, the rotation of the shaft 83 causes the connecting rods 84 to perform circular motion around the shaft 83.

[0038] Link 1 84 is rotatably connected to link 2 85, which is in turn rotatably mounted on the fixed block 86 at the lower end of the lifting base plate 5. Therefore, the circular motion of link 1 84 is transmitted to the lifting base plate 5 via link 2 85, causing the lifting base plate 5 to slide vertically up and down within the rectangular frame 4, thereby adjusting its height. For example, to make thicker bread, the lifting base plate 5 can be lowered by turning the crank handle, increasing the mold cavity height; to make thinner bread, the crank handle can be turned in the opposite direction to raise the lifting base plate 5, decreasing the mold cavity height.

[0039] If the driving component 9 is a geared motor, energizing and starting the geared motor causes the motor output shaft to drive the rotating shaft 83 to rotate. Subsequently, through the transmission of connecting rod 84 and connecting rod 85, the height of the lifting base plate 5 within the rectangular frame 4 is adjusted. The geared motor can achieve precise speed control through a control circuit, thereby more accurately adjusting the height of the lifting base plate 5, suitable for production scenarios with high requirements for bread thickness accuracy. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The diagram shows two types of lifting base plates 5 at different heights.

[0040] Bread making and ejection: After adjusting the height of the lifting base plate 5, pour the prepared bread ingredients into the rectangular frame 4 of the mold unit 1, and place the ingredients on the lifting base plate 5. Then, place the mold into the bread baking equipment and bake the bread according to the set baking program. During the baking process, the support column 71, connecting column 72, and connecting foot 73 of the support component 7 work together. The connecting foot 73 is securely connected to the base 6 by bolts and nuts, and the connecting column 72 is inserted into the connecting hole at the bottom of the rectangular frame 4 to provide stable support for the rectangular frame 4, ensuring that the mold does not deform under high temperature conditions, ensuring that the bread is heated evenly and formed normally.

[0041] After the bread is baked, the drive unit 9 is activated again. The rotating shaft 83 causes the connecting rod 84 to rotate, transmitting the rotation to the lifting base plate 5 via the connecting rod 85. This causes the lifting base plate 5 to slide upwards within the rectangular frame 4. As the lifting base plate 5 rises, it slowly ejects the baked bread from the mold cavity. This process eliminates the need for manual removal of the bread, effectively avoiding potential damage caused by manual operation and improving the yield and production efficiency. After ejecting the bread, the mold can be cleaned, and the mold can be reassembled and the height of the lifting base plate 5 adjusted according to new production needs, starting the next round of bread production.

[0042] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
