[0045] like Figures 9-16As shown, the dough strip obtained after kneading and pressing is conveyed to the shaping mechanism 3 via the second conveyor belt 17.

The two sides of the first connecting plate 313 are slidably connected to the first guide rod 312. A first mold 314 is arranged below the first connecting plate 313.

A hollow template 325 is provided below the dough strip. The second mold 324 cooperates with the hollow template 325 after passing through the dough strip. In the second shaping device 32, multiple second molds 324 are provided and cooperate with the corresponding stamping cylinders and hollow templates 325 respectively. Second guide rollers 326 are provided on both sides of the second shaping device 32. The second guide rollers 326 also cooperate with the dough strip respectively.

[0046] After passing through the second shaping device 32, the dough strip is returned to the dough mixing mechanism 11 via the return material mechanism 4. The return material mechanism 4 includes multiple conveyor belts, namely a first return material conveyor belt 41, a second return material conveyor belt 42, and a third return material conveyor belt 43. The dough strip is folded onto the second return material conveyor belt 42 via the first return material conveyor belt 41 and returned by the third return material conveyor belt 43. A pressing roller for pressing the dough strip is provided on the second return material conveyor belt 42.

[0047] The dough requiring shaping is conveyed by the conveyor mechanism 2 to the area below the second shaping device 32 and shaped in conjunction with the second shaping device 32. Before the dough enters the second shaping device 32, the conveyor mechanism 2 is equipped with a rounding mechanism 21, a shaping mechanism 22, and a spraying mechanism 23. The rounding mechanism 21 rounds the dough, and includes a lower conveyor belt, an upper side conveyor belt 211, and a control box 212 that controls the upper side conveyor belt 211.

[0048] The principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0049] In use, this invention allows for the application of decorative patterns to the surface of dough-based foods, such as steamed buns. During the process, the dough is kneaded in a dough mixer and then transferred to the primary pressing mechanism 12 through the discharge port. During kneading, the dough strip returned by the return mechanism 4 is mixed with the dough strip and oscillated by the swing mechanism, ensuring that the dough is evenly distributed above the kneading rollers, thus facilitating uniform output. The output from the kneading mechanism 11 is further pressed by the multi-stage pressing mechanism and then conveyed to the second conveyor belt 17. During the process, the distance between the two pressing rollers in the pressing mechanism can be adjusted to ultimately press out a dough strip of suitable thickness. The dough strip is then coated with powder on the upper and lower surfaces by the primary powdering mechanism 18 and the secondary powdering mechanism 19 on the second conveyor belt 17 (the pressed dough strip falls into the middle of the second conveyor belt 17), preventing sticking during subsequent operations.

[0050] When the dough strip is conveyed to the first shaping device 31, it is pre-pressed by the first shaping device 31. The pre-pressing can press the desired pattern on the dough strip. The pre-pressed dough strip is conveyed to the second shaping device 32. The lower part of the hollow template 325 in the second shaping device 32 directly cooperates with the conveying mechanism 2. The pre-pressed dough strip is pressed by the second mold 324 in the second shaping device 32, and the hollow part on the hollow template 325 is directly pressed onto the steamed bun. Since the steamed bun is moistened before being conveyed to the second shaping device 32, it can adhere well to the shaped pattern, thereby realizing a continuous appliqué shaping process.

[0051] During the process of conveying the steamed buns on the conveying mechanism 2, they pass through the rounding mechanism 21 and the shaping mechanism 22 in succession, which can shape the raw steamed buns into a shape. By arranging photoelectric sensors on the conveying mechanism 2, the intermittent continuous conveying of the steamed buns can be achieved. The process involves simple control principles, which are relatively mature in the existing technology, so they will not be described in detail.
