Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of embossing mechanisms for steamed buns, and in particular to an embossing mechanism for pleated steamed buns. Background Technology

[0002] Steamed buns are an ancient Chinese food made by rolling out dough and wrapping meat or vegetarian fillings inside. As a traditional delicacy, steamed buns are loved by many consumers. Therefore, the market demand for steamed buns is increasing, leading to the emergence of many steamed bun manufacturers. To increase production and reduce labor costs, steamed bun machines, sometimes called filling forming machines, are commonly used. The main structure of a steamed bun machine includes a dough forming mechanism, a filling forming mechanism, and an indentation mechanism.

[0003] In the existing technology, there is a Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN221468868U entitled "A Small Steamed Bun Making Machine". In this patent, the closing pleating component moves up and down, and the base expands or contracts the pleating rods distributed circumferentially on the closing pleating component to create pleats on the steamed bun. This pleating method involves making marks on the surface of the steamed bun after the filling has been formed. The pleats are shallow, and the pleats are not obvious after steaming, and they differ significantly from hand-pleated buns. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pleated crease mechanism for steamed buns, which solves the problems of shallow pleats in existing pleating mechanisms, indistinct pleats after steaming, and significant differences from hand-pleated pleats, thus affecting the shaping effect of steamed buns.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A crease-pressing mechanism for making pleated buns includes a mounting plate, a power component, and a crease-pressing component. Both the power component and the crease-pressing component are mounted on the mounting plate, and the power component drives the crease-pressing component to operate.

[0007] The indentation assembly includes a fixed disk, a rotating disk, sliders, and indentation blades. The fixed disk is disposed on the mounting plate, and the rotating disk is rotatably mounted on the fixed disk. A plurality of sliders are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction and slidably mounted on the fixed disk. One end of each slider is slidably connected to an arcuate groove on the rotating disk. A plurality of indentation blades are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction and rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the fixed disk. The strip-shaped holes on the indentation blades are slidably connected to the other end of their respective corresponding sliders.

[0008] A support platform for steamed buns is provided in the middle of the fixed plate.

[0009] A further technical solution is: a plurality of first rollers are uniformly arranged on the fixed disk along its axial direction, and the inner peripheral wall of the rotating disk is adapted to the first rollers.

[0010] A further technical solution is that the inner side of the indentation knife is provided with a concave portion that is adapted to the bun.

[0011] A further technical solution is that a second roller is also provided at one end of the slider, and the second roller is located in the arc-shaped groove.

[0012] A further technical solution is as follows: the power assembly includes a servo motor, a swing arm, and a connecting rod. The servo motor is mounted on the mounting plate, the swing arm is mounted on the power output end of the servo motor, and the two ends of the connecting rod are rotatably connected to the swing arm and the rotating disk, respectively.

[0013] A further technical solution is that the connecting rod comprises a hollow rod and an inner rod slidably installed inside the hollow rod, and the hollow rod is provided with bolts for abutting the inner rod.

[0014] A further technical solution is that the cross-section of the slider is a T-shaped structure, and the fixed plate is provided with a T-shaped groove that matches the slider.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention proposes a crease-pressing mechanism for pleated buns. This crease-pressing mechanism uses a rotating disk to drive a slider to move horizontally, thereby causing the crease-pressing knife to crease the bun in a flipping manner. The creases are applied before the bun is sealed, ensuring the stability of the crease shape. The pleats are deep, resulting in a better appearance of the bun after steaming. Moreover, in the entire mechanical transmission process, the stroke of each transmission component is small, which is conducive to the miniaturization and weight reduction of the mechanism.
