Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically to a pastry pressing and molding device. Background Technology

[0002] Pastries are a type of food made primarily from one or more of the following ingredients: grains, beans, tubers, oils, sugar, and eggs. Mooncakes, as a traditional delicacy with a rich cultural heritage, have undergone centuries of evolution in their production process. In traditional times, mooncake making relied heavily on manual craftsmanship. Artisans, with their extensive experience, would knead the dough, prepare the fillings, shape the cakes, and bake them by hand.

[0003] According to the patent authorization announcement number (CN220494093U), a printing mold for mooncake processing includes a base plate, a support rod mounted on the top of the base plate, a fixed plate at the top of the support rod, a column mounted on the top of the base plate, a groove on one side wall of the column, a first lifting plate slidably engaged inside the groove, and a printing element mounted at the bottom of the first lifting plate. When making mooncakes, the raw materials are placed in the printing cylinder, and the printing component moves downwards into the printing cylinder to press the mooncake into shape. Controlling the lifting plate to move downwards causes the printing cylinder to move downwards relative to the fixed plate, thereby demolding the formed mooncake on the fixed plate. The structure disclosed in this patent has defects in practical application, specifically as follows: during demolding, the printing cylinder and the fixed plate need to slide relative to each other, so a gap is unavoidable between them. During the mooncake pressing process, debris generated by the extrusion of the raw materials will intrude into the aforementioned gap, and during subsequent equipment operation, the debris will gradually fall onto the base plate. Given that multiple support rods are installed on the base plate, the layout of these support rods makes the usable space on the base plate extremely cramped and narrow. The limited space greatly increases the difficulty of cleaning up fallen debris, and conventional cleaning tools are difficult to operate in such a narrow space, resulting in low cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a patch cutting sheath that addresses the problem in existing technologies where debris falls onto a space-constrained base plate, increasing the difficulty of cleaning the base plate. This invention provides a solution that enables centralized processing of debris generated during the pressing process, effectively preventing debris from scattering everywhere due to natural fall.

[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A pastry pressing and molding device includes: a frame; an upper mold base mounted on the frame; multiple upper mold heads mounted at the bottom of the upper mold base; a lower mold base mounted on the frame, with multiple molding grooves at its top; a base mounted on the frame, with a support plate detachably mounted thereon; a molding tray mounted in the molding grooves; a support column, one end of which extends into the molding groove and is connected to the molding tray, the other end of which can connect to the support plate; and a debris collection box detachably mounted on the support column. When pressing mooncakes, the upper mold base can move towards the lower mold base, with the multiple upper mold heads engaging with the multiple molding grooves. When demolding mooncakes, the lower mold base can move towards the base, and the molding tray can push the mooncake out of the molding grooves.

[0007] Furthermore, this utility model also includes: a drive mechanism, which is installed on the top of the frame; and a push rod, one end of which is installed on the output end of the drive mechanism, and the other end of which is connected to the upper mold base.

[0008] Furthermore, this utility model also includes a reset assembly, which includes: a plurality of first guide posts, which are installed at the bottom end of the lower mold base; a plurality of second guide posts, which are installed at the top end of the base and are respectively sleeved on the outside of the plurality of first guide posts; and a first elastic member, one end of which is connected to the inner wall of the second guide post and the other end of which is connected to the first guide post.

[0009] Furthermore, in this utility model, the debris storage box is provided with an installation port adapted to the support column, the support column is provided with multiple assembly slots along the circumference, a second elastic member is installed in the assembly slot, the free end of the second elastic member is connected to a limiting member, and the end of the limiting member away from the second elastic member has a circular structure.

[0010] Furthermore, in this utility model, the debris collection box has a tapered structure, with the inner diameter of the debris collection box near the forming groove being R1 and the inner diameter of the debris collection box near the supporting plate being R2; R1 is greater than R2.

[0011] Furthermore, in this invention, the external dimensions of the forming pallet are adapted to the internal contour dimensions of the forming groove.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0013] A gap is provided between the forming tray and the forming groove. During the mooncake pressing process, the generated debris, under the influence of gravity and pressing force, falls through the gap to the bottom of the forming groove. The debris then passes through the channel formed by the support columns, escaping the groove's containment space. Finally, guided by gravity, the debris falls into the debris collection box below. This achieves automatic collection and processing of debris generated during mooncake pressing, greatly reducing the difficulty of cleaning the working environment, effectively maintaining the cleanliness of the production area, and significantly improving workplace management efficiency and hygiene. Operators need to periodically clean the debris accumulated in the debris collection box. The support plate is removed from the base, releasing the support constraints of the support plate on the multiple support columns. The debris collection box is then disassembled from the support columns. The disassembled debris collection box is completely removed from the space exposed after removing the support plate from the base, completing the cleaning and maintenance work.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0023] Example

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of this application, the frame 1 is a rectangular frame structure. An upper mold base 2 is installed on the upper side inside the frame 1. The upper mold base 2 can slide up and down within the frame 1. Multiple upper mold heads 3 are evenly arranged at the bottom of the upper mold base 2 in a matrix layout. A lower mold base 4 is installed on the lower side inside the frame 1. The lower mold base 4 can slide up and down within the frame 1. The top of the lower mold base 4 is provided with multiple forming grooves 5. When the upper mold base 2 slides down the lower mold base 4, the multiple upper mold heads 3 can be precisely engaged into the corresponding multiple forming grooves 5, thereby completing the mold closing action. A base 6 is installed inside the frame 1. The base 6 is located below the lower mold base 4. A bearing plate is detachably installed on the base 6. The connection method can be bolt connection, snap connection or pin connection. The support plate is located directly below multiple forming grooves 5; multiple support columns 8 are installed between the lower mold base 4 and the base 6, with each support column 8 corresponding to one of the multiple forming grooves 5. The support columns 8 penetrate the bottom of the forming groove 5 and extend into the forming groove 5, with an inner diameter of R3 at the bottom of the forming groove 5; a forming tray 11 is installed in the forming groove 5, and the forming tray 11 is connected to the support columns 8. The forming tray 11 can slide back and forth along the axial direction of the forming groove 5, and the outer diameter of the forming tray 11 is R4, which is greater than R3, thus preventing the forming tray 11 from falling out of the forming groove 5; a debris collection box 12 is detachably installed on the support columns 8, and the debris collection box 12 can capture debris falling from the forming groove 5.

[0025] Working principle: The operator first controls the upper mold base 2 to slide upwards towards the frame 1, ensuring that the upper mold base 2 is far away from the lower mold base 4, and adds raw materials into the multiple forming grooves 5 of the lower mold base 4; after preparation, the operator controls the upper mold base 2 to slide downwards towards the lower mold base 4. The upper mold base 2 can drive multiple upper mold heads 3 to accurately engage in the corresponding multiple forming grooves 5. The upper mold heads 3 act on the raw materials in the forming grooves 5, and the raw materials transmit pressure to the forming tray 11. The forming tray 11 transmits pressure to the support column 8, and the forming tray 11 moves to the bottom of the forming groove 5 after being stressed. The support column 8 is in close contact with the bearing plate after being stressed. The raw materials in the forming groove 5 continuously bear the pressure transmitted from the upper mold heads 3. Through the shaping action of the mold, the raw materials are pressed into shaped mooncakes that meet the design requirements.

[0026] After the pressing process is completed, the upper mold base 2 is controlled to slide away from the lower mold base 4, and then the lower mold base 4 is driven to slide towards the base 6. During the process, one end of the support column 8 always maintains a tight contact with the bearing plate, and the other end of the support column 8 drives the forming tray 11 to move along the groove direction of the forming groove 5 until the formed mooncake is completely presented in the operator's field of vision, which facilitates the operator to remove the mooncake. This effectively avoids problems such as damage and deformation of the mooncake appearance when it is forcibly removed manually due to the mooncake sticking to the mold, and greatly improves product quality and production efficiency.

[0027] A gap is provided between the forming tray 11 and the forming groove 5. During the mooncake pressing process, the generated debris, affected by gravity and pressing force, falls through the gap to the bottom of the forming groove 5. The debris then passes through the channel formed by the support column 8 and leaves the containing space of the forming groove 5. Finally, guided by gravity, the debris falls into the debris collection box 12 below, thus achieving automatic collection and processing of debris generated during the mooncake pressing process. This greatly reduces the difficulty of cleaning the working environment, effectively maintains the cleanliness of the production area, and significantly improves the management efficiency and hygiene level of the workplace. Operators need to clean the debris accumulated in the debris collection box 12 periodically. Remove the support plate from the base 6 to release the support constraints of the support plate on the multiple support columns 8. Disassemble the debris collection box 12 from the support columns 8. Take out the disassembled debris collection box 12 completely from the space exposed after removing the support plate from the base 6 to complete the cleaning and maintenance work of the debris collection box 12.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 In some embodiments of this application, the drive mechanism 9 uses a cylinder as the power source. The cylinder is securely mounted on the top of the frame 1, and the output end of the cylinder is rigidly connected to the push rod 10. The other end of the push rod 10 is precisely aligned and fixed to the top of the upper mold base 2. When the cylinder starts working, it can precisely control the push rod 10 to move linearly towards the lower mold base 4 in the vertical direction. The displacement of the push rod 10 can synchronously drive the upper mold base 2 to move towards the lower mold base 4, thereby causing the upper mold base 2 and the lower mold base 4 to move towards each other and interact, realizing the predetermined work tasks such as mold closing and material pressing.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 3 In some embodiments of this application, a plurality of first guide posts 17 are evenly distributed along the bottom edge of the lower mold base 4, and a plurality of hollow second guide posts 16 are installed along the top edge of the base 6. The plurality of second guide posts 16 are coaxially sleeved around the plurality of first guide posts 17, forming a guiding fit structure. A first elastic element 18 (which may be a spring) is installed inside the second guide post 16. One end of the first elastic element 18 is connected to the inner wall of the second guide post 16, and the other end of the first elastic element 18 is connected to the first guide post 17.

[0030] During the mooncake pressing stage, under the elastic support of the first elastic element 18, the lower mold base 4 and the base 6 maintain a preset distance, ensuring that the forming tray 11 is exactly at the bottom of the forming groove 5, providing a stable mold structure foundation for the mooncake pressing work and ensuring the smooth progress of the pressing process.

[0031] During the demolding process, the lower mold base 4 slides towards the base 6 under the action of external driving force. During this process, the first elastic element 18 is compressed, and elastic potential energy is continuously accumulated. Under the action of mechanical transmission, the forming tray 11 pushes the formed mooncake out of the forming groove 5. When the external demolding force is removed, the first elastic element 18 releases its stored elastic potential energy, pushing the first guide post 17, which in turn drives the lower mold base 4 to quickly return to the initial working position, completing a complete work cycle and preparing for the next mooncake pressing and demolding operation.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, multiple assembly slots 13 are evenly formed along the circumference of the support column 8 at a predetermined position. A second elastic member 15 is installed in each assembly slot 13, and a limiting member 14 is connected to the free end of the second elastic member 15. The end of the limiting member 14 away from the second elastic member 15 has a circular structure. This effectively avoids adverse effects such as damage or displacement to the debris collection box 12 installed on the support column 8 below due to spatial compression or structural collisions during the downward movement of the forming groove 5, ensuring the stability and integrity of the debris collection box 12 throughout the entire workflow and maintaining its normal debris collection function.

[0033] When installing the debris collection box 12, align the debris collection box 12 with the support column 8 and move it upwards. As the debris collection box 12 approaches and passes the multiple limiting members 14, the inner wall of the mounting opening will exert a resisting force on the limiting members 14. Due to the force on the circular end of the limiting member 14, the limiting member 14 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic member 15 and moves into the mounting groove 13. After the debris collection box 12 has completely passed the multiple limiting members 14, the second elastic member 15 returns to its original shape, pushing the limiting members 14 at least partially out of the mounting groove 13. At this time, the limiting members 14 provide support for the debris collection box 12, completing the installation and fixing of the collection box.

[0034] When disassembling the debris collection box 12, a reverse force is applied to move the debris collection box 12 downwards. When the collection box passes the limiting member 14, the inner wall of the mounting opening applies a force to the circular end of the limiting member 14 again, causing it to move into the mounting groove 13 again, thereby releasing the support on the debris collection box 12 and allowing it to be removed from the support column 8. This disassembly principle is the reverse of the installation process and will not be described in detail.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the debris collection box 12 has a tapered structure. The inner diameter of the debris collection box 12 near the molding groove 5 is set to R1, and the inner diameter of the debris collection box 12 near the support plate is R2, satisfying the dimensional relationship that R1 is greater than R2. When debris falls from the molding groove 5, the larger inner diameter R1 end can provide a wider opening range, facilitating the efficient entry of debris into the collection box. As debris accumulates in the collection box, the tapered structure causes the debris to gradually converge towards the smaller inner diameter R2 end, effectively utilizing the internal space of the collection box, preventing debris from accumulating and overflowing, and facilitating subsequent cleaning.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments of this application, the forming tray 11 can fit tightly inside the forming groove 5. During the mooncake pressing process, the forming tray 11 can effectively bear and transmit pressure, so that the raw material is evenly stressed. During the demolding process, the forming tray 11 can accurately push the formed mooncake out of the forming groove 5, while avoiding problems such as jamming, shaking or damage to the forming groove 5 and the mooncake caused by dimensional deviations, thus providing a solid guarantee for the efficiency and stability of mooncake production.

[0037] In summary, this utility model provides a pastry pressing and molding device. A gap is provided between the molding tray 11 and the molding groove 5. During the mooncake pressing process, the generated debris, influenced by gravity and the pressing force, falls through the gap to the bottom of the molding groove 5. The debris then passes through the channel formed by the support column 8 and leaves the containing space of the molding groove 5. Finally, guided by gravity, the debris falls into the debris collection box 12 below. This achieves automatic collection and processing of debris generated during mooncake pressing, greatly reducing the difficulty of cleaning the working environment, effectively maintaining the cleanliness of the production area, and significantly improving the management efficiency and hygiene level of the workplace. Operators need to periodically clean the debris accumulated in the debris collection box 12. Remove the support plate from the base 6 to release the support constraint of the support plate on the multiple support columns 8. Disassemble the debris collection box 12 from the support columns 8. Take out the disassembled debris collection box 12 completely from the space exposed after removing the support plate from the base 6 to complete the cleaning and maintenance of the debris collection box 12.

It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.
