Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cake manufacturing and processing, and in particular to a slurry leveling mechanism for a cake filling machine. Background Technology

[0002] Cake is a type of Western-style pastry, usually made by baking. Cake ingredients are mixed and prepared to form a batter. The batter is then poured into a container and baked to shape, thus becoming a food product. Nowadays, large-scale cake production is often achieved through batter injection machines, which can inject batter into multiple cakes at once, resulting in a high degree of automation.

[0003] When making a square cake, a square piece of wrapping paper or a box is placed in the mold, then a square cake base is placed in the box, and then cream or other fillings are poured onto the cake base using a filling machine. However, the surface of the filling may be uneven, affecting the appearance. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a slurry leveling mechanism for a cake filling machine, which has the advantage of leveling the slurry poured into the cake packaging box.

[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] A slurry leveling mechanism for a cake slurry injector includes a base on which the slurry injector is mounted. Two symmetrical rows of support columns are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base, with multiple support columns in each row. A conveyor belt is also included, located below the slurry injector. The conveyor belt includes a support frame and a belt drive, with the belt drive connected to the support frame. A limit mechanism is provided on the conveyor belt. Multiple connecting columns corresponding to each support column are fixedly connected to both sides of the support frame. Elastic elements are provided between the corresponding support columns and connecting columns, respectively, and these elastic elements fit over the corresponding support columns and connecting columns. A vibration motor is fixedly connected to the side of the conveyor belt support frame.

[0007] Using the above technical solution, the cake mold is placed on a conveyor belt, a packaging box is placed into the mold hole, and then the cake base is placed in the packaging box. The conveyor belt transports the mold, packaging box, and cake base to the bottom of the batter injection machine. The batter injection machine injects batter onto the cake base. The vibrating motor starts, causing the entire conveyor belt to shake relative to the base. The conveyor belt drives the mold and packaging box to move. The mold is prevented from falling off the conveyor belt by the limiting mechanism, and the angle of the mold is also prevented from changing. The packaging box causes the batter to shake, making the batter evenly dispersed, thus making the surface of the batter smooth and producing a more regular and beautiful cake.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes two sets of connecting plates, which are fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor belt support frame. Each connecting plate is provided with a horizontal guide rod, which is slidably connected to the connecting plate. A vertical bolt is threaded onto the connecting plate, and the end of the bolt contacts the guide rod passing through the connecting plate. A baffle is fixedly connected between the guide rods of the connecting plates in the same set.

[0009] Using the above technical solution, the mold is placed on the conveyor belt and positioned between the two baffles of the limiting mechanism on the conveyor belt to prevent the mold from falling off the conveyor belt when it shakes. Depending on the size of the mold, the bolts on the connecting plate can be loosened to reduce the pressure of the bolts on the guide rods. Then, the guide rods on each set of connecting plates can be moved to move the two baffles of the limiting mechanism away from or closer to each other, adjusting the distance between the two baffles so that the baffles can better block the mold.

[0010] Preferably, a support mechanism is also included, which includes a support plate and a drive mechanism. Multiple support plates are hinged to the base surfaces on both sides of the conveyor belt. A horizontal support hole is opened at the end of the support bar. A connecting rod is fixedly connected between two adjacent support plates on the same side of the conveyor belt. A drive mechanism is provided on the base surfaces on both sides of the conveyor belt. The drive mechanism is connected to the connecting rod on the same side of the conveyor belt. Support shafts corresponding to the support holes of the support plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor belt.

[0011] Using the above technical solution, when leveling of the slurry in the packaging box is not required, the drive mechanisms on both sides of the conveyor belt drive the support plates on both sides of the conveyor belt to rotate and approach the conveyor belt through the connecting rods that are hinged to them. The openings of the support holes on the support plates contact the support shaft of the conveyor belt, and the inner wall of the support holes exerts a force on the support shaft, causing the support shaft and the conveyor belt to move in the vertical direction. Thus, when the support plate rotates to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the support holes of the support plate fit around the support shaft, supporting the conveyor belt and increasing the stability of the conveyor belt.

[0012] Preferably, the elastic element is a spring.

[0013] Using the above technical solution, the vibration motor drives the conveyor belt to shake, and the conveyor belt exerts a force on the spring, causing the spring to become elastic and drive the conveyor belt to return to its original position.

[0014] Preferably, the driving mechanism is a cylinder, which is hinged to the base surface, and the cylinder output shaft is hinged to the connecting rod.

[0015] Using the above technical solution, the cylinder output shaft extends and drives the support plate closer to the conveyor belt via the connecting rod, and the cylinder output shaft retracts and drives the support plate away from the conveyor belt. Attached Figure Description

[0025] See Figures 1 to 7A slurry leveling mechanism for a cake slurry injector includes a base 1 on which a slurry injector 2 is mounted. Two symmetrical rows of support columns 3 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 1, with multiple columns in each row. A conveyor belt 4 is also included, located below the slurry injector 2. The conveyor belt 4 includes a support frame and a belt drive connected to the support frame. A limit mechanism is provided on the conveyor belt 4, comprising two sets of connecting plates 7 fixedly connected to both sides of the support frame. Each connecting plate 7 has a horizontal guide rod 8 passing through it, slidably connected to the connecting plate 7. A vertical bolt 9 is threaded onto the connecting plate 7, with the end of the bolt 9 contacting the guide rod 8 passing through the connecting plate 7. A baffle 10 is fixedly connected between the guide rods 8 of the same set of connecting plates 7. Multiple connecting columns 5, corresponding to each support column 3, are fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor belt 4 support frame. A spring 11 is provided between the corresponding support column 3 and connecting column 5, respectively, with the spring 11 sleeved around the corresponding support column 3 and connecting column 5. A vibration motor 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the support frame of the conveyor belt 4. Multiple support plates 12 are hinged to the surface of the base 1 on both sides of the conveyor belt 4. Horizontal support holes 14 are opened at the ends of the support rods. A connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected between two adjacent support plates 12 on the same side of the conveyor belt 4. Cylinders 13 are hinged to the surface of the base 1 on both sides of the conveyor belt 4. The output shaft of the cylinder 13 is hinged to the connecting rod 15 on the same side of the conveyor belt 4. Support shafts 16 corresponding to the support holes 14 of the support plates 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor belt 4.

[0026] Working Principle: Based on the mold size, loosen the bolts 9 on the connecting plate 7 to reduce the pressure of the bolts 9 on the guide rods 8. Then, move the guide rods 8 on each set of connecting plates 7 to move the two baffles 10 of the limiting mechanism closer or further apart. Adjust the distance between the two baffles 10 and tighten the bolts 9 to fix the baffles 10. Place the mold on the conveyor belt 4, positioning it between the two baffles 10 of the limiting mechanism. Place the cake mold on the conveyor belt 4, insert the packaging box into the mold hole, and then place the cake base inside the packaging box. The conveyor belt 4 transports the mold, packaging box, and cake base to below the batter injection machine 2. The batter injection machine 2 injects batter onto the cake base. The vibrating motor 6 starts, causing the entire conveyor belt 4 to shake relative to the base 1. The conveyor belt 4 moves the mold and packaging box. Simultaneously, the mold is prevented from falling off the conveyor belt 4 by the limiting mechanism. The packaging box causes the batter to shake, dispersing it evenly and resulting in a smooth surface and a more regular and aesthetically pleasing cake.

[0027] When leveling of the slurry in the packaging box is not required, the output shafts of the cylinders 13 on both sides of the conveyor belt 4 extend, pushing the support plates 12 on both sides of the conveyor belt 4 to rotate and approach the conveyor belt 4 via the connecting rods 15 hinged to them. The openings of the support holes 14 on the support plates 12 contact the support shafts 16 of the conveyor belt 4, and the inner walls of the support holes 14 exert a force on the support shafts 16, causing the support shafts 16 and the conveyor belt 4 to move vertically. Thus, when the support plates 12 rotate to be perpendicular to the horizontal plane, the support holes 14 of the support plates 12 engage the support shafts 16, supporting the conveyor belt 4 and increasing its stability. Similarly, when the output shafts of the cylinders 13 retract, they pull the support plates 12 to rotate back. The support plates 12 drive the support shafts 16 and the conveyor belt 4 to move vertically through the support holes 14, thereby separating the support holes 14 from the support shafts 16, allowing the vibrating motor 6 to drive the conveyor belt 4 to vibrate.
