Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cake decorating technology, and in particular to an extruder for a cake decorating 3D printer. Background Technology

[0002] Cake decorating is a cake-making technique that involves decorating the top of cakes with frosting, strawberry, and banana cakes.

[0003] A search revealed that patent CN218043509U discloses a cake decorating machine. This technical solution has the following problems:

[0004] Currently, when decorating cakes, it is inconvenient to clean the inside of the cream in the placement tube after use, and it is also difficult to replace the cream. The process is quite inconvenient, which not only increases the tedium but also reduces the efficiency of operation.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model document proposes an extruder for a cake decorating 3D printer. Utility Model Content

[0006] This utility model provides an extruder for a cake decorating 3D printer, which solves the problems of existing technology where, when decorating cakes, it is inconvenient to clean the inside of the placement tube after the cream is used up, and it is also inconvenient to replace the cream. The process is not only cumbersome, but also reduces the efficiency of operation.

[0007] This utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An extruder for a cake decorating 3D printer includes:

[0009] The base has an installation frame and a placement cylinder on its top, and the placement cylinder is fixedly installed to the bottom of the installation frame by multiple bolts.

[0010] The outer wall of the placement cylinder has an opening to facilitate the cleaning of the cream on the inner wall of the placement cylinder. The outer wall of the placement cylinder is rotatably connected to a door panel that matches the opening via a torsion spring hinge. An iron block is provided on the inner wall of the door panel, and a magnet that attracts the iron block is provided on the inner wall of the opening.

[0011] In one possible design, a hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting frame, and a piston pressure plate is fixedly installed at the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. The piston pressure plate extends into the interior of the placement cylinder and is used to press and extrude the cream inside the placement cylinder.

[0012] In one possible design, a first vertical frame is fixedly mounted on the top side of the base, and a first motor is fixedly mounted on the top side of the first vertical frame. The output end of the first motor passes through the top side of the first vertical frame and extends into the interior of the first vertical frame. A lead screw is fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor through a coupling, and a threaded block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw.

[0013] In one possible design, a second vertical frame is fixedly provided on the top side of the base, a limit rod is fixedly provided between the top side and the bottom side of the inner wall of the second vertical frame, a movable block is slidably connected inside the second vertical frame, and a limit hole is provided inside the movable block that is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limit rod.

[0014] In one possible design, the same lifting frame is fixedly installed on one side of the threaded block and the moving block. A second motor is fixedly installed on one side of the lifting frame. The output end of the second motor passes through one side of the lifting frame and extends into the interior of the lifting frame. A screw is fixedly installed on the output end of the second motor through a coupling. A limit block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw. The limit block is slidably connected to the interior of the lifting frame. The mounting frame is fixedly installed on one side of the limit block.

[0015] In one possible design, an electric push rod is fixedly mounted on the top of the base, a drive plate is fixedly mounted on the output end of the electric push rod, a sliding frame is fixedly mounted on one side of the drive plate, a placement plate for placing the cake is fixedly mounted on the top side of the sliding frame, and a slider for limiting the sliding of the sliding frame is fixedly mounted on the top side of the base.

[0016] In this application, during use, the cream is first placed inside the placement cylinder, which is fixed to the bottom of the mounting frame by multiple bolts to ensure that the cream does not leak during the extrusion process. When the cream needs to be extruded, the hydraulic cylinder starts to work, and its output end pushes the piston plate forward. The piston plate extends into the interior of the placement cylinder and applies pressure to the cream, thereby extruding the cream from the bottom of the placement cylinder. The amount and speed of the extruded cream can be controlled by adjusting the working pressure of the hydraulic cylinder and the moving speed of the piston plate to meet the needs of different piping patterns. Then, the first motor drives the lead screw to rotate. Since the lead screw is threadedly connected to the threaded block, the threaded block will move with the rotation of the lead screw, thereby realizing the longitudinal movement of the placement cylinder, so as to make precise adjustment according to the height of the cake. At the same time, the moving block and the sliding hole will slide and connect with the second vertical frame and the limiting rod respectively to achieve the limiting effect and improve stability.

[0017] The second motor drives the screw to rotate. Similarly, because the screw is threadedly connected to the limiting block, the limiting block moves with the screw's rotation, thus enabling the placement cylinder to move laterally for precise adjustment based on the cake's area. Simultaneously, the limiting block is slidably connected inside the lifting frame, ensuring the stability of the placement cylinder during movement. During the decorating process, the cake is placed on the placement plate, which is fixed to the sliding frame. An electric push rod drives the movement of the drive plate and the sliding frame, achieving precise horizontal movement of the placement cylinder. Thus, with the coordinated work of the electric push rod, the first motor, and the second motor, the mounting frame and placement cylinder can move along a preset trajectory. This design facilitates the achievement of 3D printing effects for cake decorating, enhancing its applicability. The sliding frame moves along the slider to provide a limiting function, ensuring smooth and accurate movement. After the decorating work is completed, the inside of the placement cylinder can be cleaned or the cream replaced by opening the door panel. If necessary, the placement cylinder can also be easily disassembled, making the process convenient and improving operational efficiency and applicability. The door panel is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the placement cylinder via a torsion spring hinge, and the iron block on the inner wall of the door panel attracts the magnet on the inner wall of the opening, ensuring that the door panel closes tightly and opens easily. In addition, necessary maintenance and upkeep of the entire extruder can be performed to ensure its long-term stable operation and the production of high-quality cake decorating patterns.

[0018] In this utility model, the extruder on the cake decorating 3D printer, through the setting of a placement cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, piston pressure plate, opening, door plate, magnet and iron block, can apply pressure to the cream and squeeze the cream out from the bottom of the placement cylinder to meet the needs of different decorating patterns. At the same time, it is convenient to clean or replace the cream inside the placement cylinder. If necessary, the placement cylinder can be easily disassembled, making the process relatively convenient.

[0019] In this utility model, the extruder on the cake decorating 3D printer, through the arrangement of a first motor, lead screw, threaded block, second vertical frame, lifting frame, second motor, screw and limiting block, can be easily and precisely adjusted according to the height of the cake, can be easily and precisely adjusted according to the area of ​​the cake, and also realizes the precise movement of the placement tube in the horizontal position, so that the mounting frame and the placement tube can move according to the preset trajectory, so as to achieve the effect of cake decorating 3D printing.

[0020] In this invention, cream can be squeezed out from the bottom of the placement tube to meet the needs of different piping patterns. It is convenient to clean or replace the cream inside the placement tube. If necessary, the placement tube can be easily disassembled. The process is convenient, improving operational efficiency and applicability. At the same time, it also makes it easy for the mounting frame and placement tube to move along a preset trajectory to achieve the effect of piping 3D printing. Attached Figure Description

The piston plate 16 extends into the interior of the placement cylinder 14 and is used to press and extrude the cream inside the placement cylinder 14. When the hydraulic cylinder 15 starts working, its output end pushes the piston plate 16 forward. The piston plate 16 extends into the interior of the placement cylinder 14 and applies pressure to the cream, thereby extruding the cream from the bottom of the placement cylinder. The amount and speed of extruded cream can be controlled by adjusting the working pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 15 and the moving speed of the piston plate 16 to meet the needs of different piping patterns.

A lead screw 4 is fixedly installed on the output end of the first motor 3 through a coupling. A threaded block 5 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 4. The first motor 3 drives the lead screw 4 to rotate. Since the lead screw 4 is threadedly connected to the threaded block 5, the threaded block 5 will move with the rotation of the lead screw 4, thereby realizing the longitudinal movement of the placement cylinder 14, so as to make precise adjustment according to the height of the cake.

[0034] A second vertical frame 6 is fixedly installed on the top side of the base 1. A limit rod 8 is fixedly installed between the top side and the bottom side of the inner wall of the second vertical frame 6.
