[0002] As people's living standards improve, modern people are consuming more and more fruits and vegetables, and their daily diet consists of a wide variety of foods. To arrange these foods, multiple utensils are sometimes needed. For example, a butterfly-shaped fruit plate can hold a variety of fruits at the same time, while also being aesthetically pleasing.

[0003] Currently, most existing butterfly fruit plates are made of high-strength plastic materials and are mass-produced using injection molding. However, after the existing butterfly fruit plate molding equipment cools and solidifies, the molded product needs to be manually opened and removed after being ejected from the mold, which affects production efficiency. Furthermore, the surface of the product may still have residual heat after demolding, posing a certain risk of burns if handled directly.

[0004] Based on this, the present invention designs a butterfly fruit plate forming device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] The frame 1201 is fixedly connected to the front end of the second telescopic column 11, and the gripper 1205 is a round-headed rod gripper.

[0030] Through the structural design of the first telescopic column 10, the second telescopic column 11 and the clamping mechanism 12, the automatic picking up of ejected and demolded products is realized, eliminating the need for manual picking up and improving production efficiency. At the same time, it can be used in conjunction with a conveyor belt to achieve continuous production.

[0031] A lower mold 4 is fixedly installed at the center of the upper end of the support platform 1. An ejection mechanism 5 is provided below the lower mold 4. Guide rods 6 are provided at the four corners of the lower mold 4. The top of the guide rods 6 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the top plate 3.
