Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cake processing technology, and in particular to a cake processing and shaping device. Background Technology

[0002] Cake forming equipment includes many types, such as mixing equipment, molds, baking equipment, and decorating equipment. Among them, the most common baking equipment in daily life is the oven, which is used to pour cake batter into molds inside the oven and heat and bake it to form the finished cake.

[0003] Oven molds are typically shaped with concave holes to prevent spillage when pouring the cake batter. However, after the cake is cooked, it is also placed inside the holes of the mold, with the highest point of the cake below the surface of the holes, making it inconvenient to remove the cake. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cake processing and shaping device that facilitates cake demolding after baking, addressing the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] This utility model provides a cake processing and shaping device, comprising:

[0006] An oven with slots inside;

[0007] A movable frame is movably installed inside the slot, and multiple material troughs are provided on the top.

[0008] A through slot is formed in the middle of the movable frame;

[0009] A lifting component, located within the through groove, is used to move the shaped cake upwards along the feed trough.

[0010] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a lifting plate, which is movably disposed within the through groove. A bottom plate is movably disposed inside the material trough. The bottom of the bottom plate is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate by a lifting rod. A plurality of springs are fixedly disposed between the top of the lifting plate and the inner wall of the through groove.

[0011] In one embodiment, a positioning plate is fixedly installed inside the oven, the positioning plate movably passes through the through groove, and an inclined groove is opened on the positioning plate. Multiple positioning rods are fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate, and the end of the positioning rod away from the lifting plate movably abuts against the inclined groove.

[0012] In one embodiment, the positioning plate has the same number of positioning slots as the positioning rod, and the positioning rod is slidably connected to the positioning slot.

[0013] In one embodiment, the movable frame has a groove above the through groove, and the movable frame has a movable slot on one side of the material trough. The movable slot and the groove are interconnected. A baffle is movably arranged in the movable slot, and multiple exhaust holes are provided on the baffle.

[0014] In one embodiment, two adjacent baffles are fixedly connected by a connecting rod, and a lead screw is movably disposed between two adjacent connecting rods. The thread direction of the lead screw is opposite to that of the connection between the two connecting rods, and one end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove.

[0015] In one embodiment, a gear is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the lead screw, and a rack is fixedly installed inside the oven. The rack is movably connected to the through groove, and the rack meshes with the gear for transmission.

[0016] The aforementioned cake processing and shaping device, through the cooperation of multiple components such as positioning rods, positioning plates, inclined grooves, lifting plates, and lifting rods, enables the bottom plate to move upward along the material groove during the outward movement of the moving frame. The bottom plate can drive the top of the cake to move to the outside of the material groove, making it easier to remove the cake. By using a baffle to cover the material groove, it can prevent water vapor generated during the steaming and baking process from dripping onto the cake surface, thus affecting the appearance and taste of the cake.

[0031] The following is combined Figures 1-6 This invention describes a cake processing and shaping device.

[0032] like Figures 1-6 As shown, in one embodiment, a cake processing and shaping apparatus includes an oven 1, a movable rack 2, and a lifting assembly 5.

[0033] The oven 1 has a slot 101 for storing items, and a movable rack 2 is slidably installed in the slot 101. The movable rack 2 has multiple material slots 3, which can hold cake batter. The shape of the material slots 3 can be designed in various ways. The lifting component 5 can drive the formed cake in the material slots 3 to move upward along the material slots 3. The through slot 4 provides moving space for the lifting component 5.

[0034] Specifically, pour the cake batter into the hopper 3, close the oven door 1, turn on the oven 1, and the oven 1 will bake the cake batter into a shaped cake. Then keep it warm for a period of time to ensure that the cake maintains a stable shape. Open the oven door and move the moving rack 2 outward along the slot 101. During the movement, the lifting component 5 will move the top of the shaped cake to the outside of the hopper 3, which makes it easy to remove the cake without damaging its complete shape.

[0035] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting assembly 5 includes a lifting plate 51, which is movably disposed in the through groove 4. A bottom plate 52 is movably disposed inside the material trough 3. The bottom of the bottom plate 52 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting plate 51 by a lifting rod 53. A plurality of springs 54 are fixedly disposed between the top of the lifting plate 51 and the inner wall of the through groove 4.

[0036] Specifically, after the cake is finished, the moving rack 2 is moved outward. During the movement of the moving rack 2, the lifting plate 51 moves upward along the through slot 4. The upward movement of the lifting plate 51 will drive the lifting rod 53 and the bottom plate 52 to move upward. The upward movement of the bottom plate 52 will drive the cake in the filling tray 3 to move upward, making it easier to remove the cake. During this process, the spring 54 will be compressed. After the cake is removed, the upward force applied to the lifting plate 51 is removed when the moving rack 2 is moved back into the oven 1. Under the action of the spring 54, the lifting plate 51, the lifting rod 53 and the bottom plate 52 will move downward to the initial position. During the movement, the bottom plate 52 must maintain the seal between itself and the inner wall of the filling tray 3 to prevent the cake batter from overflowing. If the cake needs to be baked again before the moving rack 2 is moved back into the oven 1, cake batter can be added to the filling tray 3. Because the cake batter will expand in volume during the cake formation process, even if the bottom plate 52 is not at the bottom of the filling tray 3 at this time, as long as a certain amount of cake batter is added, after baking and shaping, the bottom plate 52 will still move upward again, causing the top of the cake to exceed the filling tray 3, making it easier to remove the cake.

[0037] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning plate 6 is fixedly installed inside the oven 1. The positioning plate 6 movably passes through the through groove 4. An inclined groove 61 is opened on the positioning plate 6. A plurality of positioning rods 7 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the lifting plate 51. The end of the positioning rod 7 away from the lifting plate 51 movably abuts against the inclined groove 61.

[0038] Specifically, during the baking process in oven 1, the bottom of the positioning rod 7 abuts against the part of the positioning plate 6 without the inclined groove 61, the bottom plate 52 is located at the bottom of the material tray 3, and the two ends of the lifting plate 51 can slide up and down along the inner walls of both sides of the through groove 4. After baking, the moving rack 2 moves outward, which will drive the lifting plate 51 and the positioning rod 7 to move outward. The positioning rod 7 first slides along the part of the positioning plate 6 without the inclined groove 61. During this process, the height of the lifting plate 51 remains unchanged. Then, the positioning rod 7 moves upward along the inclined groove 61 to the highest point and then slides straight again. During this process, the positioning rod 7 will move upward, which will drive the lifting plate 51, the lifting rod 53 and the bottom plate 52 to move upward, and move the top of the cake to the outside of the material tray 3, making it easier to take out the cake.

[0039] See Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning plate 6 has the same number of positioning slots 62 as the positioning rods 7, and the positioning rods 7 are slidably connected to the positioning slots 62.

[0040] Specifically, during the outward movement of the movable frame 2, the positioning rod 7 will slide along the positioning groove 62, which ensures the stability of the positioning rod 7 during the sliding process and prevents it from shifting.

[0041] See Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the movable frame 2 is provided with a groove 21 above the through groove 4, and the movable frame 2 is provided with a movable groove 22 on one side of the material trough 3. The movable groove 22 and the groove 21 are connected to each other. A baffle 8 is movably arranged in the movable groove 22, and a plurality of exhaust holes 81 are provided on the baffle 8.

[0042] Specifically, during the steaming and baking process, the cake will produce water vapor. Water vapor dripping onto the cake surface will damage the cake's texture, causing the cake to become soggy or develop spots. Therefore, during the steaming and baking process, the baffle 8 will be located inside the moving tray 22 to cover the filling tray 3. The baffle 8 is located above the cake to prevent some of the water vapor from falling onto the cake. The vent 81 can expel the water vapor from the filling tray 3. After the steaming and baking process is completed, before the base plate 52 moves upward, the baffle 8 is moved to one side during the outward movement of the moving rack 2 to prevent the cake from coming into contact with the baffle 8 during the upward movement of the base plate 52, which would damage the cake.

[0043] See Figures 3-4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, two adjacent baffles 8 are fixedly connected by connecting rods 9, and a lead screw 10 is movably provided between the two adjacent connecting rods 9. The thread direction of the lead screw 10 and the connection between the two connecting rods 9 is opposite, and one end of the lead screw 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the groove 21.

[0044] Specifically, after the cake is steamed and baked, the moving rack 2 is moved outward and the lead screw 10 is rotated. The rotation of the lead screw 10 in the groove 21 causes the two corresponding connecting rods 9 to move closer to each other, thereby causing the two baffles 8 to move closer to each other. The baffles 8 are moved out of the moving groove 22 and no longer block the material groove 3.

[0045] See Figures 3-4 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a gear 11 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 10, and a rack 12 is fixedly installed inside the oven 1. The rack 12 is movably connected to the through groove 4, and the rack 12 meshes with the gear 11 for transmission.

[0046] Specifically, after the cake is steamed and baked, the moving rack 2 is moved outward, and the positioning rod 7 moves along with it. The positioning rod 7 will first move in a straight line along the part of the positioning plate 6 without the inclined groove 61. During this process, the gear 11 will mesh with the rack 12, thereby driving the gear 11 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 11 will drive the lead screw 10 to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the connecting rod 9 and the baffle 8. The baffle 8 will no longer block the material trough 3. Then the positioning rod 7 will move upward along the inclined groove 61, so that the bottom plate 52 moves the cake to the outside of the material trough 3, making it easier to take out the cake.

[0047] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0048] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
