[0029] The utility model will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiment.

[0030] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-6The device specifically implements a forming device that imitates the hand-kneading of willow leaf dumplings, including a worktable 1.

The Z-axis module 3 is installed on the sliding seat 4 and is connected to a connecting seat 5 that can slide up and down along the Z-axis. A robot arm 6 is connected to the connecting seat 5. The robot arm 6 is connected to a kneading gripper 63 for kneading dumpling skins. A fixture for placing dumpling skins is provided at one end of the worktable 1 near the robot arm 6. The kneading gripper 63 can knead the dumpling skins on the fixture by being driven by the robot arm 6, the X-axis module 2 and the Z-axis module 3.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, the X-axis module 2 and Z-axis module 3 are composed of lead screw drive modules, and drive motors for driving the sliding seat 4 and connecting seat 5 to slide along the X-axis and Z-axis are respectively connected to the X-axis module 2 and Z-axis module 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The robotic arm 6 includes a pinching drive 61 and a rotary drive 62 for driving the pinching drive 61 to rotate. The rotary drive 62 is mounted on the connecting seat 5 via a support frame 7, and one end of the rotary drive 62 passes through the support frame 7 and is connected to the pinching drive 61 via a connector. The pinching drive 61 can pinch the dumpling wrapper on both sides of the fixture, thereby enclosing the filling inside the wrapper. The rotary drive 62 can drive the pinching drive 61 to perform an arc-shaped pinching of the dumpling wrapper, improving the finished product's pinching effect.

[0033] Specifically, the rotary drive component 62 is a rotary drive motor, and the drive shaft of the rotary drive motor is coaxially connected to the coupling 8. The pinching drive component 61 is composed of a servo electric gripper, which can drive two pinching grippers 63 to open and close, thereby rotating and pinching the edge of the dumpling skin.

[0034] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The connecting components include a coupling 8 and a connecting block 9. One end of the coupling 8 is coaxially connected to the driving end of the rotary drive 62, and the other end of the coupling 8 is connected to the connecting block 9.

The rotating pressing block 13 can be driven to rotate along the rotating shaft 17 by the pull pattern driving member 15, so as to expose outside the pull pattern groove 12 and press the one end of the dumpling wrapper on the support seat 10, so as to perform a pre-pull pattern action on the dumpling wrapper. The two kneading clamping jaws 63 driven by the kneading driving member 61 perform a parabolic kneading action on the two side edges of the dumpling wrapper from the end close to the rotating block, so as to achieve the effect of kneading the dumpling wrapper.

[0039] In this embodiment, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5The forming seat 11 is connected with two auxiliary clamping jaws 18 for providing clamping force to the two sides of the dumpling skin. The two auxiliary clamping jaws 18 are rotatably installed on the two sides of the forming seat 11 through rotating members, and the two auxiliary clamping jaws 18 can be relatively rotated to be unfolded or closed.

[0040] Optionally, the two auxiliary clamping jaws 18 are connected with an external driving mechanism, so that the two auxiliary clamping jaws 18 can be rotated. When the two auxiliary clamping jaws 18 are turned to be perpendicular to the supporting seat 10, the two auxiliary clamping jaws 18 drive the two side edges of the dumpling skin to be close to each other, so as to improve the pinching effect of the mechanical hand 6 on the dumpling skin.

[0041] Optionally, the two auxiliary clamping jaws 18 can fix the stuffing in the dumpling skin, so as to improve the forming efficiency and effect of the dumpling skin.

[0042] The specific pinching action process of the dumpling skin in the embodiment is as follows:

[0043] The dumpling skin is placed on the top of the supporting seat 10 through the last process. The two side edges of the dumpling skin are in contact with the two auxiliary clamping jaws 18. The two auxiliary clamping jaws 18 are driven by the external driving mechanism to close the two sides of the dumpling skin to the middle, that is, the two auxiliary clamping jaws 18 are turned from the horizontal state to be perpendicular to the supporting seat 10.

[0044] The rotating block 13 is driven by the pull-out pattern driving member 15 to be exposed outside the pull-out pattern groove 12 through the connecting rod 16, and a pre-pressing and pull-out pattern action is performed on the dumpling skin, so as to facilitate the pinching of the pinching clamping jaw 63 on the dumpling skin. The pinching clamping jaw 63 is moved to one end of the dumpling skin through the control of the mechanical hand 6, the X-axis module 2 and the Z-axis module 3. The pinching clamping jaw 63 is driven by the pinching driving member 61 to pinch the two side edges of the dumpling skin. The pinching clamping jaw 63 is moved along the edge to be pinched of the dumpling skin and pinched under the linkage of the mechanical hand 6, the X-axis module 2 and the Z-axis module 3. Thus, the pinching and forming of the dumpling skin and the pinching product effect of the dumpling are improved by the pinching action of the two pinching clamping jaws 63 simulating two fingers. The adhesion and difficult demolding of the dumpling skin edge are reduced. The outer skin of the willow leaf dumpling manufactured by the forming device has obvious three-dimensional effect and improves the appearance. At the same time, the forming device simulates the manual pinching, which improves the efficiency and reduces the labor cost compared with the pure manual pinching operation.
