Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of product processing equipment technology, and in particular to a cutting and forming mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the production of sandwich ice cream, it is typically necessary to precisely sandwich ice cream between two pieces of biscuit or other sheet-like ingredients. Currently, the industry commonly uses single-arch cutting technology, such as the single-arch cutting device for ice cream production disclosed in Chinese patent CN201360512Y. This device uses a single-arch assembly composed of a Z-shaped frame, a wire arch frame, and tungsten wire to cut extruded ice cream. However, this technology has low cutting efficiency and is difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, in order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a cutting and forming mechanism, comprising:

[0004] A forming mechanism is integrally mounted on a conveying mechanism. The forming mechanism includes multiple sets of discharge pipes, which are connected to a raw material extrusion device. The raw material is extruded through the discharge pipes by the raw material extrusion device. The multiple sets of discharge pipes are arranged above the conveying mechanism and are arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism.

[0005] The cutting mechanism has two sets, which are arranged opposite to each other along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, and the forming mechanism is arranged between the two sets of cutting mechanisms.

[0006] The cutting mechanism includes:

[0007] Second power unit;

[0008] The cutting frame is driven by a second power unit to move linearly in the direction parallel to the product conveying mechanism.

[0009] A pull rod, one end of which is ring-shaped, passes vertically through the end of the cutting frame and is fixed to the cutting frame;

[0010] A cutting line, one end of which is tied and fixed to the ring end of the pull rod, and the portion of the cutting line between the two sets of pull rods is in a taut state.

[0011] This invention features multiple sets of discharge pipes. Frozen ice cream is extruded from these pipes using an extrusion device. The extruded ice cream is shaped into a column with the same interface as the pipe opening under the shaping action of the discharge pipes. Two symmetrically arranged cutting mechanisms operate simultaneously to cut the extruded ice cream. The cut ice cream pieces fall onto the conveying mechanism under their own gravity, achieving multi-station synchronous cutting, increasing output per unit time, and meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the pull rod is provided with an external thread, and the cutting frame is clamped by two sets of first nuts that match the external thread, so that the pull rod and the cutting frame remain relatively fixed.

[0013] At both ends of the cutting frame, there are fixed rods perpendicular to the cutting frame. The two sets of fixed rods are arranged between the two sets of pull rods and adjacent to the pull rods. At the end of the fixed rod, there is a guide wheel that rotates relative to the fixed rod. The annular surface of the guide wheel has a limiting groove for accommodating the cutting line. The cutting line is wound around the limiting groove.

[0014] The pull rod can be quickly disassembled and assembled by loosening or tightening the nut, making it easy to replace or clean the cutting wire. During installation, the cutting wire is passed around the guide wheel and positioned by the limiting groove. The moving pull rod is used to pull the cutting wire, which makes it easy to adjust the tension of the cutting wire. The adjustment is convenient and quick.

[0015] Furthermore, the cutting mechanism includes:

[0016] A fixing part, which is fixedly installed on the conveying mechanism, has a threaded sleeve;

[0017] A threaded rod, which is threadedly engaged with a threaded sleeve;

[0018] A fixed frame is provided, with a threaded tube passing through its end. The end of the fixed frame is clamped by two sets of second nuts that match the threaded rod, so that the fixed frame is fixed to the thread. The second power unit is fixedly installed on the fixed frame.

[0019] The screw rod and the threaded sleeve of the fixed part form a helical transmission mechanism, which, together with the second nut locking structure, allows for the adjustment of the height of the fixed frame, thereby adjusting the cutting height of the cutting mechanism. Furthermore, during disassembly and assembly, maintenance personnel only need to loosen the second nut to remove the fixed frame, improving disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, a guide rod is provided on the side of the cutting frame near the fixed frame. The guide rod passes through the fixed frame and slides relative to the fixed frame.

[0021] The movement of the cutting frame is guided by guide rods, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the cutting frame.

[0022] Furthermore, the forming mechanism also includes a first power device, which drives the multiple sets of discharge pipes to move up and down.

[0023] By controlling the first power device to drive the lifting and lowering movement of multiple sets of discharge pipes, the extruded ice cream is lowered to a preset height and then cut into pieces by the cutting mechanism. This avoids the raw material being extruded too long due to the discharge pipe being too high, which would cause it to break under force during cutting. It also avoids the discharge pipe height being relatively fixed, making it impossible to adjust the cutting thickness according to the actual production situation.

[0024] Furthermore, the molding mechanism also includes:

[0025] A guide structure is fixedly installed on the conveying mechanism, and the first power unit is fixedly installed on the guide structure;

[0026] The slide is kept in relative sliding with the guide structure and is connected to the first power device. Multiple sets of discharge pipes are fixedly installed on the slide.

[0027] The movement accuracy of multiple discharge pipes is improved by guiding the movement of the carriage through the guide structure.

[0028] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0029] This invention features multiple sets of discharge pipes. Frozen ice cream is extruded from these pipes using an extrusion device. The extruded ice cream is shaped into a column with the same interface as the pipe opening under the shaping action of the discharge pipes. Two symmetrically arranged cutting mechanisms operate simultaneously to cut the extruded ice cream. The cut ice cream pieces fall onto the conveying mechanism under their own gravity, achieving multi-station synchronous cutting, increasing output per unit time, and meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0038] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0039] In this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0040] As described in the background section, existing cutting technologies are inefficient and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production.

[0041] Example 1:

[0042] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides a cutting and forming mechanism, such as... Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the cutting and forming mechanism includes:

[0043] Forming mechanism 200, the forming mechanism is integrally mounted on the conveying mechanism, such as Figure 4 As shown, the forming mechanism includes a discharge pipe 210, which is provided in multiple sets. The multiple sets of discharge pipes are connected to the raw material extrusion equipment. The raw material is extruded out of the discharge pipe by the raw material extrusion equipment. The multiple sets of discharge pipes are arranged above the conveying mechanism 100 and are arranged perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism.

[0044] The cutting mechanism 300 has two sets, which are arranged opposite to each other along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism, and the forming mechanism is arranged between the two sets of cutting mechanisms.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the cutting mechanism includes:

[0046] Second power unit 310;

[0047] The cutting frame 330 is driven by a second power device to move linearly in the direction parallel to the product conveying mechanism;

[0048] A pull rod 360, one end of which is ring-shaped, vertically passes through the end of the cutting frame and is fixed to the cutting frame;

[0049] Cutting line 350, one end of which is tied and fixed to the ring end of the pull rod, and part of the cutting line between the two sets of pull rods is in a taut state.

[0050] In this embodiment, the second power device can be a cylinder, and the cutting frame is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder. The extension and retraction of the cylinder's movable rod drives the linear reciprocating motion of the cutting frame. Of course, in addition to a cylinder, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or other devices capable of achieving linear motion of the cutting frame can also be selected.

[0051] In this embodiment, the frozen ice cream is extruded from the discharge pipe by the extrusion device, so that the ice cream raw material forms an ice cream column under the action of the discharge pipe. After the ice cream is extruded to a preset length, the second power device of the two sets of cutting mechanisms is activated at the same time, driving the cutting frame to move towards the ice cream column. The ice cream column is cut into pieces under the action of the bidirectional cutting line. The cut ice cream pieces fall onto the conveying mechanism under their own gravity, and the conveying mechanism drives them to step a preset distance, repeating the above process.

[0052] In this embodiment, frozen ice cream is extruded from the discharge pipe using an extrusion device. Under the shaping effect of the discharge pipe, the extruded ice cream is cylindrical with the same shape as the outlet of the discharge pipe. The extruded ice cream is cut by two symmetrically arranged cutting mechanisms 300 operating simultaneously. The cut ice cream pieces fall onto the conveying mechanism under their own gravity, realizing multi-station synchronous cutting, increasing the output per unit time, and meeting the needs of large-scale production.

[0053] In this embodiment, the outer circumferential surface of the pull rod is provided with an external thread, and the cutting frame is clamped by two sets of first nuts that match the external thread, so that the pull rod and the cutting frame remain relatively fixed.

[0054] like Figure 3As shown, fixed rods 331 perpendicular to the cutting frame are also fixed at both ends of the cutting frame. The two sets of fixed rods are arranged between the two sets of pull rods and adjacent to the pull rods. A guide wheel 340 is provided at the end of the fixed rod to rotate relative to the fixed rod. The annular surface of the guide wheel has a limiting groove for accommodating the cutting line. The cutting line is wound in the limiting groove.

[0055] In this embodiment, the pull rod can be quickly disassembled and assembled by loosening or tightening the nut, which facilitates the replacement or cleaning of the cutting wire. During installation, the cutting wire is passed around the guide wheel and positioned by the limiting groove. The moving pull rod is used to pull the cutting wire, which makes it easy to adjust the tension of the cutting wire. The adjustment is convenient and quick.

[0056] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cutting mechanism may further include:

[0057] A fixing part 380 is fixedly installed on the conveying mechanism, and the fixing part has a threaded sleeve;

[0058] Threaded rod 390, wherein the threaded rod is threadedly engaged with a threaded sleeve;

[0059] The fixing frame 320 has a threaded tube penetrating its end. The fixing frame end is clamped by two sets of second nuts that match the threaded rod, so that the fixing frame is fixed to the thread. The second power device is fixedly installed on the fixing frame.

[0060] In this embodiment, a helical transmission mechanism is formed by the threaded rod and the threaded sleeve of the fixing part. Combined with the second nut locking structure, the lifting and lowering adjustment of the fixing frame can be achieved, thereby adjusting the cutting height of the cutting mechanism. Furthermore, during disassembly and assembly, maintenance personnel only need to loosen the second nut to disassemble the fixing frame, improving disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0061] In this embodiment, a guide rod 370 may also be provided on the side of the cutting frame near the fixed frame. The guide rod passes through the fixed frame and slides relative to the fixed frame.

[0062] The movement of the cutting frame is guided by guide rods, thereby improving the movement accuracy of the cutting frame.

[0063] In this embodiment, the forming mechanism may further include a first power device 240, which drives the multiple sets of discharge pipes to move up and down.

[0064] By controlling the first power device to drive the lifting and lowering movement of multiple sets of discharge pipes, the extruded ice cream is lowered to a preset height and then cut into pieces by the cutting mechanism. This avoids the raw material being extruded too long due to the discharge pipe being too high, which would cause it to break under force during cutting. It also avoids the discharge pipe height being relatively fixed, making it impossible to adjust the cutting thickness according to the actual production situation.

[0065] In this embodiment, the molding mechanism may further include:

[0066] Guide structure 230, which is fixedly installed on the conveying mechanism, and the first power unit is fixedly installed on the guide structure;

[0067] The slide 220 slides relative to the guide structure and is connected to the first power device. Multiple sets of discharge pipes are fixedly installed on the slide.

[0068] The movement accuracy of multiple discharge pipes is improved by guiding the movement of the carriage through the guide structure.

[0069] Specifically, the first power unit can be a cylinder, and the slide can be connected to the piston rod of the cylinder. The slide can be raised and lowered by extending and retracting the piston rod of the cylinder. Of course, the first power unit can also be an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or other devices that can drive the slide to move up and down.

[0070] In this embodiment, the guiding structure can be as follows: Figure 4 The frame shown can be a frame with guide rods, or a frame with guide rails or other structures with guiding functions.

[0071] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
