[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This embodiment of the present invention provides a mold for printing patterns on the surface of rice cakes, comprising:

[0027] The support assembly 100 includes a base 101, a housing 102 fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 101, a fixing plate 103 fixedly connected to the end of the housing 102, a support member 104 slidably installed on the side wall of the housing 102, and a positioning plate 105 adapted to be installed on the end of the support member 104.

[0028] The printing assembly 200 includes a sliding member 201 slidably connected to the middle of the end groove of the fixed plate 103, a printing motor 202 fixedly connected to the end of the sliding member 201, a die head mounting plate 203 fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the printing motor 202, and a printing die 204 adapted to be installed on the end side wall of the die head mounting plate 203, the end of the printing die 204 extending above the positioning plate 105.

[0029] The support component 100 provides stable support and precise positioning for the printing process. The housing 102 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 101, forming a closed space that protects the internal transmission components. The fixing plate 103 provides a track for the sliding member 201. The support member 104 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail on the side wall of the housing 102 via a slider. The positioning plate 105 is fitted and installed at the end of the support member 104 to place the rice cake to be printed, ensuring the rice cake is placed flat. The printing component 200 is the core part for printing on the surface of the rice cake. The sliding member 201 is slidably connected to the groove at the end of the fixing plate 103, allowing it to reciprocate linearly within the groove to adjust the printing position. When the printing motor 202 operates, it drives the die head mounting plate 203 and the printing die 204 to rotate, thereby achieving the printing operation on the surface of the rice cake.

[0030] Specifically, the printing assembly 200 also includes a lever 205 rotatably mounted inside the housing 102, with the end of the lever 205 engaged with the lower side wall of the slider 201.

[0031] The lower side wall of the slider 201 is engaged with the end of the lever 205. Driven by the lever 205, the slider 201 can reciprocate linearly within the groove.

[0032] Furthermore, the printing assembly 200 also includes a turntable 206 rotatably mounted on the side wall of the housing 102, a connector 207 fixedly connected in the middle of the turntable 206, and a toggle block 208 slidably connected in the middle of the connector 207, with the end of the toggle block 208 slidably engaged in the inner side of the central groove of the lever 205.

[0033] The lever 205 has a groove at its center, and the end of the actuating block 208 is slidably engaged in the groove. When the actuating block 208 slides in the middle of the connector 207, it drives the lever 205 to rotate around its rotation center, thereby driving the sliding member 201 to reciprocate linearly within the groove of the fixed plate 103, thus realizing the horizontal movement of the printing mold 204.

[0034] Furthermore, a drive shaft 209 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the housing 102, and a gear 210 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the drive shaft 209. The teeth of the gear 210 mesh with the rack on the side wall of the turntable 206.

[0035] When the drive shaft 209 rotates, the turntable 206 rotates through the meshing transmission of the gear 210 and the rack, and then the lever 205 rotates through the connecting piece 207 and the toggle block 208, thereby realizing the horizontal movement control of the printing mold 204.

[0036] Preferably, a limiting plate 106 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the positioning plate 105. The limiting plate 106 is symmetrically installed on the outer side of the positioning plate 105. The support assembly 100 also includes a handle rod 107 threadedly connected to the side wall of the limiting plate 106, and an adjustment plate 108 slidably inserted in the middle of the positioning plate 105. The end of the handle rod 107 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the adjustment plate 108, and the adjustment plate 108 is disposed inside the limiting plate 106.

[0037] The limiting plate 106 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the positioning plate 105 and symmetrically installed on the outer side of the positioning plate 105. It is used to initially limit the rice cake and prevent the rice cake from shifting during the printing process. By rotating the handle rod 107, the adjusting plate 108 can be driven to slide in the middle of the positioning plate 105, thereby achieving precise positioning of rice cakes of different sizes.

[0038] Preferably, the support assembly 100 further includes a lifting motor 109 fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 101, a lead screw 110 fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the lifting motor 109, and a ball nut 111 adapted to be installed on the side wall of the lead screw 110. The side wall of the ball nut 111 is connected to the support member 104 by bolts.

[0039] When the lifting motor 109 is working, it drives the lead screw 110 to rotate, thereby causing the ball nut 111 to move linearly on the lead screw 110, which in turn drives the support 104 and the positioning plate 105 to achieve lifting and lowering movements to meet the printing needs of rice cakes of different thicknesses.

[0040] During use, in the process of printing on the surface of the rice cake, the rice cake to be printed is first placed on the positioning plate 105. By rotating the handle 107, the adjusting plate 108 is driven to slide in the middle of the positioning plate 105 to accurately position the rice cake so that it is directly below the printing mold 204. Then, the lifting motor 109 works, driving the lead screw 110 to rotate, causing the ball nut 111 to move linearly on the lead screw 110, driving the support 104 and the positioning plate 105 to rise, and sending the rice cake to the appropriate printing height.

[0041] Next, the drive shaft 209 rotates, driving the turntable 206 to rotate via the meshing of the gear 210 and the rack on the side wall of the turntable 206. The rotation of the turntable 206 drives the lever 205 to rotate via the connecting piece 207 and the actuating block 208. The rotation of the lever 205 causes the sliding piece 201 to reciprocate linearly within the groove of the fixed plate 103, thereby moving the printing mold 204 horizontally to the printing position on the rice cake. At this time, the printing motor 202 starts, driving the mold head mounting plate 203 and the printing mold 204 to rotate, performing the printing operation on the surface of the rice cake. During the printing process, by controlling the rotation speed and direction of the drive shaft 209, the horizontal movement trajectory of the printing mold 204 can be precisely controlled, thus achieving the printing requirements of different patterns.

[0042] After printing is completed, the lifting motor 109 reverses its direction, driving the support 104 and positioning plate 105 to descend and send the printed rice cake out of the printing area. At the same time, the drive shaft 209 continues to rotate, returning the printing mold 204 to its initial position, preparing for the next printing operation.

[0043] In summary, through a precise mechanical transmission structure and accurate positioning system, this mold enables precise motion control of the printing mold 204 in both horizontal and vertical directions, ensuring accurate positioning of the printed pattern. Simultaneously, the stable drive of the printing motor 202 guarantees the rotational accuracy of the printing mold 204, thereby improving the quality and precision of the printing on the rice cake surface. The adjustable design of the adjusting plate 108 allows the mold to adapt to the printing needs of rice cakes of different sizes. The positioning range of the positioning plate 105 can be easily adjusted by rotating the handle 107, greatly improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment. Furthermore, the printing mold 204 adopts an adapter installation method, facilitating quick replacement of printing molds with different patterns to meet diverse market demands.
