Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a food processing device, and more specifically, a food shaping mold. 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, which affects the top core's reset and consequently impacts the subsequent shaping of the shumai. Furthermore, because the embedded structure of the top core has many dead angles, these angles are easily filled with filling during operation, hindering the top core's vertical movement. This is especially true in the production of meat-filled shumai, where the filling is semi-fluid, making the aforementioned phenomena even more pronounced. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct further research and improvement on the shaping device for this type of filled food. Utility Model Content

[0003] One of the objectives of this invention is to address the aforementioned shortcomings by providing a food shaping mold, thereby resolving the technical problems of existing devices being susceptible to the effects of fillings and thus unable to operate normally.

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

[0005] This utility model provides a food shaping mold, which has a cylindrical receiving cavity. A top core column is provided at the lower part of the receiving cavity. The top core column is mounted on a first 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. The support has a guide channel, and the side wall of the guide channel is in contact with 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 first 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 that the shaping mold has two or three parts, and the dials are all connected to the same swing arm via connecting rods.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, one of the beneficial effects of this utility model is that by setting the longitudinal section of the guide channel of the top core column and the support to a straight line, the dead angle in the mold lifting structure is eliminated, so that the filling is less likely to interfere with the movement of the top core column during operation. At the same time, the food shaping mold provided by this utility model has a simple structure and is suitable for installation and use on various specifications of stuffed food machinery, with a wide range of applications.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, one embodiment of this utility model is a food shaping mold. Similar to existing technologies, the food shaping mold 2 has a cylindrical accommodating cavity 21. A top core column 22 is provided at the lower part of the accommodating cavity 21. The top core column 22 is mounted on a first 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 contacts 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 dynamic 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.

[0020] As mentioned above, in this embodiment, by setting the top core column 22 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.

[0021] As Figure 3 As 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 24 rotates on the support 24, 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 the aforementioned dial 10 is poweredly connected to the connecting rod 28. The connecting rod 28 is poweredly connected to the swing arm 12. When the external drive device moves the swing arm 1228, the swing arm 12 drives the dial 10 to rotate through the 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 assembly module 26 in the food shaping mold are both placed on the horizontal fixed plate 27. Then, the first lifting frame 23 is placed below the fixed plate 27, so that the longitudinal 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 in the lower part of the accommodating cavity 21.

[0022] Still as Figure 2 and Figure 3 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.

[0023] A preferred application of the above embodiments is, for example Figure 4As shown, the food shaping mold 2 is installed below the pressure head 1. When the pressure head 1 presses down, the upper part of the food in the food shaping mold 2 remains flat. More importantly, combined with... Figure 5 As shown, the aforementioned pressing head 1 is mounted on a longitudinal rotating shaft 3, which is mounted on a second lifting frame 4. The second 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 powered by 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, and the filling on the top of the shumai is smoothed out by rotation during the pressing process, preventing the viscous filling from sticking to the bottom of the pressing head and forming irregular points or protrusions on the top of the shumai during the pressing head 1's ascent. The aforementioned preferred structure is that the second lifting frame 4 can be powered by a drive cylinder 6, as shown in the figure, so that the drive cylinder 6 drives the rotating shaft 3 and the pressing head 1 to move up and down via the second 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.

[0024] In this embodiment, by using a rotating pressure head 1, the semi-fluid filling is less likely to stick to the pressure head 1, avoiding the formation of pointed or protruding points due to filling sticking together, keeping the top of the shumai flat, and effectively improving the aesthetics and consistency of the finished product.

[0025] Combination 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.

[0026] 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.

[0027] At the same time, just as Figure 4As shown in one application example of this utility model, the food shaping mold 2 is set as a group of two or three, and the dial 10 of the food shaping mold 2 in the same group is poweredly connected to the same swing arm 12 through the connecting rod 28. Correspondingly, there are also multiple press heads 1, and the press heads 1 are poweredly connected to the drive device 5 through their respective rotating shafts 3. The number of press heads 1 is the same as the number of food shaping molds 2 and corresponds one-to-one. That is, each press head 1 is provided with a food shaping mold 2 below it. When the press head 1 is pressed down, it corresponds exactly to the food shaping mold 2 below it.

[0028] refer to Figure 4 As shown, in actual use, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the food shaping mold 2 is generally in groups of two or three. After the dough receiving and filling are completed at the dough receiving station and filling station of the shumai processing machine, the molds arrive at the shaping station, where the shaping device described in the above embodiment is installed. At the shaping station, the top core column 22 is placed at the bottom of the receiving cavity 21 and is slightly raised by the first lifting frame 23 to flatten the bottom of the shumai dough. Then, the swing arm 12 is moved by the external drive device, and the swing arm 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.

[0029] Then, the drive cylinder 6 drives the second lifting frame 4 to move downwards, which in turn drives the pressure head 1 to move downwards via the rotating shaft 3, pressing 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 via the rotating shaft 3, the filling on the upper part of the shumai can be smoothed out by the rotating pressure head 1 during the pressing process. The rotating pressure head 1 also makes it less likely for the filling to stick when the pressure head 1 returns to its original position, avoiding irregular points or protrusions on the top of the shumai due to the filling sticking together after the pressure head 1 returns to its original position. During the aforementioned process, the filling is blown out from the small air hole through the airflow channel 31 and the hollow inner cavity 11 by an external high-pressure air source, which helps the filling to detach from the pressure head and further prevents it from sticking. After the top of the current shumai is smoothed out, the second lifting frame 4 drives the pressure head 1 to return to its original position, and the current food shaping mold 2 carries the shumai to the next station. The pressure head 1 continues to press the next set of food shaping molds 2, and so on.
