Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a food shaping device, and more specifically, a shaping device for stuffed foods. Background Technology

[0002] Shaomai is a traditional stuffed food. With the development of food processing machinery, automated shaomai production equipment has emerged on the market. While this equipment can automatically wrap and shape the shaomai, its forming device design has flaws, specifically... Figure 1 As shown, the top core step below the mold cup is easily jammed by the filling, affecting the top core's reset and impacting subsequent shumai shaping. Simultaneously, the embedded structure of the top core has many dead angles, which are easily filled with filling during operation, hindering the top core's vertical movement. This is especially pronounced in meat-filled shumai production, where the filling is semi-fluid. Furthermore, the semi-fluid filling has high viscosity, leading to irregular points or protrusions on the top of the shumai after filling, wrapping, and shaping processes, affecting the finished product's appearance. Even with the addition of a pressure head for upper pressing, the semi-fluid filling still easily adheres to the pressure head and is lifted, forming the aforementioned points or protrusions. Therefore, further research and improvement of shaping devices for this type of filled food are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0003] One of the objectives of this utility model is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a shaping device for stuffed foods. This aims to solve the technical problems in the prior art, such as the inability of similar devices to operate normally due to the influence of the filling, and the fact that semi-fluid fillings cause bulges or pointed ends on the top of the finished product, affecting its aesthetics.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model provides a shaping device for stuffed food, including a pressing head and a shaping mold. The pressing head is placed above the shaping mold and is mounted on a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is mounted on a first lifting frame and is also poweredly connected to a driving device. The driving device is used to drive the pressing head to rotate along the central axis of the rotating shaft. The shaping mold has a cylindrical receiving cavity, and a top core column is provided at the lower part of the receiving cavity. The top core column is mounted on a second lifting frame, and the upper end of the top core column matches the contour of the inner wall of the receiving cavity. A support is also provided below the receiving cavity, and the support has a guide channel. The side wall of the guide channel contacts the side wall of the top core column. The inner side wall of the guide channel and the outer side wall of the top core column are both straight in longitudinal section.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, a further technical solution is as follows: the accommodating cavity is formed by multiple circumferentially distributed assemblies, the assemblies are movably mounted on the dial, the dial is movably mounted on the support, the support is mounted on the fixed plate, the dial is also poweredly connected to the connecting rod, the connecting rod is poweredly connected to the swing arm, and the swing arm is used to drive the dial to rotate through the connecting rod, so that the multiple assemblies can be radially opened and closed.

[0007] A further technical solution is: the second lifting frame is placed below the fixed plate, and the top core column passes through the fixed plate and the guide channel and is placed in the lower part of the accommodating cavity.

[0008] A further technical solution is that the upper part of the accommodating cavity is provided with a receiving tray, and the opening of the upper part of the accommodating cavity is located in the middle of the receiving tray.

[0009] A further technical solution is as follows: the first lifting frame is poweredly connected to the output end of the drive cylinder, and the drive cylinder is used to drive the rotating shaft and the pressure head to move up and down through the first lifting frame. The drive cylinder is longitudinally mounted on the support frame.

[0010] A further technical solution is as follows: the inside of the rotating shaft is also provided with an airflow channel, the pressure head has a hollow inner cavity, the airflow channel is connected to the hollow inner cavity, the lower part of the pressure head is also provided with an air hole, the air hole is connected to the hollow inner cavity; the airflow channel is used to connect with an external air source.

[0011] A further technical solution is: the driving device is a geared motor, a driving gear is installed on the output end of the geared motor, a driven gear is installed on the upper part of the rotating shaft, and the driven gear meshes with the driving gear.

[0012] A further technical solution is: there are two or three shaping molds, the dials of the shaping molds are all connected to the same swing arm via connecting rods, there are also multiple pressure heads, and the pressure heads are connected to the drive device via their respective rotating shafts. The number of pressure heads is the same as the number of shaping molds and corresponds one-to-one.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, one of the beneficial effects of this utility model is that by setting the top core column of the shaping mold and the guide channel of the support to be in a straight longitudinal section, dead angles in the lifting structure are eliminated, making it less likely for the filling to interfere with the movement of the top core column during operation. Furthermore, by using a rotating pressure head, the semi-fluid filling is less likely to stick to the pressure head, avoiding the formation of pointed or protruding points due to filling sticking, thus keeping the top of the shumai flat and effectively improving the aesthetics and consistency of the finished product.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] refer to Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is a shaping device for stuffed foods. Similar to existing technologies, it includes a pressing head 1 and a shaping mold 2, with the shaping mold 2 positioned below the pressing head 1. When the pressing head 1 presses down, the upper part of the food in the shaping mold 2 remains flat. Unlike existing technologies, it combines... Figure 5As shown, the aforementioned pressing head 1 is mounted on a longitudinal rotating shaft 3, which is mounted on a first lifting frame 4. The first lifting frame 4 can drive the pressing head 1 to perform the aforementioned pressing action via the rotating shaft 3. The rotating shaft 3 is also poweredly connected to a drive device 5, which can then drive the pressing head 1 to rotate along the central axis of the rotating shaft 3. That is, the pressing head 1 rotates continuously during the pressing process, smoothing the filling on top of the shumai by rotating, preventing the viscous filling from sticking to the bottom of the pressing head 1 and forming irregular points or protrusions when the pressing head 1 rises. In the preferred structure, the first lifting frame 4 can be poweredly connected to the output end of the drive cylinder 6, as shown in the figure. This allows the drive cylinder 6 to drive the rotating shaft 3 and the pressing head 1 to move up and down via the first lifting frame 4, thereby completing the aforementioned pressing and rising action of the pressing head 1. At the same time, the aforementioned drive cylinder 6 can be longitudinally mounted on a support frame 7.

[0023] Correspondingly, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the forming mold 2 has a cylindrical accommodating cavity 21. The lower part of the accommodating cavity 21 is provided with a top core column 22, which is mounted on the second lifting frame 23. The upper end of the top core column 22 must match the contour of the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 21. At the same time, a support 24 is also provided below the accommodating cavity 21. The support 24 has a longitudinal guide channel 25 in the middle, and the side wall of the guide channel 25 is in contact with the side wall of the top core column 22. More importantly, the inner side wall of the guide channel 25 and the outer side wall of the top core column 22 are both straight in the longitudinal section. Therefore, there are no dead angles in the power structure cooperation between the two, which can prevent the filling from entering the dead angle and causing interference and obstruction to the up and down movement of the top core column.

[0024] As mentioned above, in this embodiment, by setting the top core column 22 of the shaping mold 2 and the guide channel 25 of the support to be in a straight longitudinal section, dead angles in the lifting structure are eliminated, making it less likely for the filling to interfere with the movement of the top core column 22 during operation. Furthermore, by using a rotating pressure head 1, the semi-fluid filling is less likely to stick to the pressure head 1, preventing the formation of sharp points or protrusions due to filling sticking when the pressure head 1 rises. This keeps the upper part of the shumai product flat, effectively improving the aesthetics and consistency of the finished product.

[0025] As Figure 4As shown, in another embodiment of the utility model, the aforementioned accommodating cavity 21 is formed by a plurality of circumferentially distributed assembly modules 26, and these assembly modules 26 are movably mounted on the dial 10. The dial 10 is movably (rotatably) mounted on the support 24. Through the structural cooperation between them, when the dial 10 rotates, it can drive these assembly modules 26 to reciprocate synchronously along the radial direction of the accommodating cavity 21, thereby shaping the shumai from the side. The aforementioned support 24 is mounted on the fixed plate 27 and power-connects the aforementioned dial 10 to the connecting rod 28. The connecting rod 28 is power-connected to the swing arm 12. When the external drive device moves the swing arm 12, the swing arm 12 drives the dial 10 to rotate through the aforementioned connecting rod 28, thereby causing the plurality of assembly modules 26 to open and close radially. Furthermore, the support 24 and the accommodating cavity 21 formed by the forming mold 24 and the assembly module 26 are both placed on the horizontal fixed plate 27. Then, the second lifting frame 23 is placed below the fixed plate 27, so that the vertical top core column 22 passes through the guide channel 25 between the fixed plate 27 and the support 24, and the upper end of the top core column 22 is placed at the lower part of the accommodating cavity 21.

[0026] Still as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, to prevent the filling from slipping, a receiving tray 29 can be installed on the upper part of the accommodating cavity 21, and the opening of the upper part of the accommodating cavity 21 is placed in the middle of the receiving tray 29.

[0027] refer to Figure 6 As shown, in a more preferred embodiment of the present invention for solving the technical problem, in order to further prevent the high-viscosity filling from sticking to the pressure head 1, an airflow channel 31 can be provided inside the rotating shaft 3, and a hollow inner cavity 11 can be provided inside the pressure head 1, so that the airflow channel 31 is connected to the hollow inner cavity 11. Furthermore, multiple small air holes are added to the lower part of the pressure head 1, and these small air holes are all connected to the hollow inner cavity 11. Through the aforementioned structure, when the airflow channel 31 is connected to an external high-pressure air source, high-pressure air can be blown out from the multiple small air holes. During the process of the pressure head 1 completing the downward and upward movement, the filling is removed from the pressure head 1 by air pressure, thereby further preventing the filling from sticking to the pressure head 1.

[0028] Furthermore, a geared motor can be used as the driving device for the aforementioned rotating shaft 3. Specifically, a driving gear 8 can be installed on the output end of the geared motor, and a driven gear 9 can be installed on the upper part of the rotating shaft 3, so that the driven gear 9 meshes with the driving gear 8.

[0029] At the same time, just as Figure 2As shown in one application example of this utility model, the above-mentioned shaping mold 2 is set as a group of two or three, and the dial 10 of the shaping mold 2 in the same group is connected to the same swing arm 12 through the connecting rod 28. Correspondingly, there are also multiple pressure heads 1, and the pressure heads 1 are connected to the driving device 5 through their respective rotating shafts 3. The number of the aforementioned pressure heads 1 is the same as the number of shaping molds 2 and corresponds one-to-one. That is, each pressure head 1 is provided with a shaping mold 2 below it. When the pressure head 1 is pressed down, it corresponds to the shaping mold 2 below it.

[0030] refer to Figure 2 As shown, in actual use, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shaping mold 2 is generally in groups of two or three. After the dough receiving and filling are completed at the dough receiving and filling stations of the shumai processing machine, it reaches the shaping station, where the shaping device described in the above embodiment is installed. At the shaping station, the upper end of the top core column 22 is placed at the bottom of the receiving cavity 21 and is slightly raised by the second lifting frame 23 to flatten the bottom of the shumai dough. Then, the swing rod 12 is moved by the external drive device, and the swing rod 12 drives the dial 10 to rotate through the connecting rod 28, so that multiple closing modules 26 radially close in the receiving cavity 21 to form radial pressure on the shumai dough, thereby completing the shaping. Finally, the drive cylinder 6 drives the first lifting frame 4 to move downward, and then drives the pressure head 1 to move downward through the rotating shaft 3 to press the upper part of the shumai in the current lower shaping mold. At this time, since the drive device 5 drives the pressure head 1 to rotate continuously through the rotating shaft 3, During the pressing process, the rotating press head 1 can smooth the filling on the top of the shumai. The rotating press head 1 also prevents the filling from sticking together when it returns to its original position, thus avoiding irregular pointed or protruding tops of the shumai due to the filling sticking together after the press head 1 returns to its original position. In the aforementioned process, an external high-pressure air source blows out through the airflow channel 31 and the hollow inner cavity 11 through small air holes to help the filling detach from the press head, further preventing it from sticking. After the top of the current shumai is smoothed, the first lifting frame 4 drives the press head 1 to return to its original position. The current shaping mold 2 then moves the shumai to the next work station, and the press head continues to press the next set of shaping molds 2, and so on.
