Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a pastry embossing machine, including a support frame 1, on which a conveyor belt 2 that moves along the direction of the embossing production line is mounted, and further including:

[0032] The support plate 3 is fixed below the progress section of the conveyor belt 2 and slides in contact with the bottom surface of the progress section. The support plate 3 defines the embossing area on the top surface of the conveyor belt 2.

[0033] Embossing seat 4 is set above the embossing zone. Embossing seat 4 extends along the width direction of conveyor belt 2, and several embossing molds 5 are arranged at equal intervals on the outer periphery of embossing seat 4. A gantry frame 6 is mounted on the support 1. A drive component connected to embossing seat 4 is mounted on the gantry frame 6. Embossing seat 4 can rotate adjustablely relative to the embossing zone and can be raised and lowered in the vertical direction.

[0034] A locking element is installed on the gantry 6. The locking end of the locking element is selectively connected to the embossing seat 4 so that the embossing seat 4 has a switchable movable or fixed state.

[0035] In this technical solution, the pastry is moved by the conveyor belt 2 along the direction of the embossing production line. The drive component is installed on the gantry frame 6, which is fixed to the support 1. The drive component drives and controls the embossing seat 4, so that the embossing seat 4 can rotate and switch several embossing molds 5 around the circumference. The embossing seat 4 extends along the width of the conveyor belt 2. Compared with the prior art, where one embossing mold 5 is used for embossing one pastry, the efficiency of embossing pastries can be improved. During the embossing process of the embossing seat 4 rising and falling, the locking part can selectively engage and fix the embossing seat 4 to maintain the stability of the embossing mold 5 during the embossing process. Combined with the support plate 3 supporting the embossing mold 5 in the opposite direction along the bottom of the embossing area, the quality of the embossing on the surface of the pastry is guaranteed.

[0036] Furthermore, the driving components include:

[0037] The first servo cylinder 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the gantry 6. The piston rod of the first servo cylinder 7 extends vertically downward and is fixedly connected to a moving plate 8. Limiting plates 9 are fixedly connected to both ends of the moving plate 8. Limiting grooves are opened on both sides of the gantry 6, and the limiting plates 9 slide in the limiting grooves.

[0038] Mounting plates 10 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of limiting plates 9 in a one-to-one correspondence. Embossed bases 4 are rotatably connected between two relatively distributed mounting plates 10, and locking components are provided on mounting plates 10.

[0039] The mounting plate 10 is driven by the first servo cylinder 7 and the moving plate 8 to maintain the synchronicity of the lifting and lowering of both ends of the embossing seat 4. The limit plate 9 is used to limit the sliding connection on the gantry frame 6 to improve the lifting and lowering stability.

[0040] Furthermore, it also includes:

[0041] A stepper motor 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of any mounting plate 10. The output shaft of the stepper motor 11 passes through the mounting plate 10 and is coaxially fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 12. The two ends of the rotating shaft 12 are rotatably connected to the two mounting plates 10. The rotating shaft 12 passes through the axis of the embossing seat 4 and is fixedly connected to the embossing seat 4.

[0042] The rotation angle is accurately controlled by the stepper motor 11, so that several embossing molds 5 can be effectively switched and correspond to the surface of the pastry in the vertical direction.

[0043] Furthermore, the cross-section of the embossing base 4 is a regular polygonal structure.

[0044] Specifically, the embossing base 4 can be made of equilateral triangular prism, square prism, or regular hexagonal prism, etc. Different shapes are required according to the embossing mold 5. The embossing base 4 structure with the corresponding number of sides is adopted to meet the needs of pastry embossing for a variety of patterns.

[0045] Furthermore, the locking element includes:

[0046] A pair of second servo cylinders 13 are fixedly connected to two mounting plates 10 respectively. The piston rod of the second servo cylinder 13 extends horizontally toward the embossing seat 4 and is fixedly connected to a locking rod 14. The side wall of the embossing seat 4 is provided with a locking hole. The locking rod 14 is selectively engaged with or not in contact with the locking hole.

[0047] The second servo cylinder 13 drives the locking rod 14 to extend and retract. Based on the stepper motor 11 controlling the rotation angle of the embossing seat 4, after the embossing mold 5 is aligned with the top surface of the conveyor belt 2, the second servo cylinder 13 drives the locking rod 14 to move toward the locking hole. The embossing seat 4 is locked and fixed by engaging the locking rod 14 with the locking hole.

[0048] Furthermore, the number of locking holes and embossing molds 5 are the same and correspond one-to-one. When the locking rod 14 is engaged with any locking hole, the embossing mold 5 at the relative position of the locking hole is parallel to the top surface of the conveyor belt 2.

[0049] By arranging the locking hole and the embossing mold 5 opposite each other, the locking hole and the opposite embossing mold 5 are perpendicular in the vertical direction. As the locking rod 14 engages with the locking hole, the embossing mold 5, which is set opposite to the locking hole, can directly correspond to the top surface of the conveyor belt 2. At this time, the embossing seat 4 can be lowered by the first servo cylinder 7 to perform embossing.

[0050] Furthermore, the shapes of two adjacent embossing molds 5 may be the same or different.

[0051] The shape of the embossing mold 5 can be set to be the same or different as needed to meet the needs of mass production of the same shape. At the same time, the patterns of pastries can be increased as needed to improve the effect of use.

[0052] In one embodiment of this technical solution, a groove is provided on the side of the embossing mold 5 near the embossing base 4, and a magnetic block 16 is fixedly connected in the groove. Similarly, a groove is provided on the side wall of the embossing base 4, and another magnetic block 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove. By attracting the two magnetic blocks 16, the embossing mold 5 and the embossing base 4 can be detachably connected, which makes it convenient to change the different shapes of the embossing mold 5.

[0053] Furthermore, a flour box 15 is fixed to the outer wall of the support 1 relative to the front end of the gantry 6.

[0054] Flour or rice flour is placed in flour box 15 and sprinkled on the surface of the pastry by staff to improve the embossing effect and prevent the pastry from sticking to the embossing mold 5.

[0055] This utility model provides a process flow for an embossing machine used in pastry production:

[0056] The pastry is placed on top of the conveyor belt 2 and at the front of the gantry 6. Flour or rice flour is sprinkled onto the surface of the pastry by the worker. The conveyor belt 2 then moves the pastry directly above the embossing area. The first servo cylinder 7 is activated to control the embossing seat 4 to descend, allowing the embossing mold 5 to contact the pastry surface for embossing. When a change in embossing shape is needed, the stepper motor 11 rotates the angle so that another embossing mold 5, with a different shape from the original embossing mold 5, faces vertically downwards toward the conveyor belt 2. Then, the second servo cylinder 13 drives the locking rod 14 to engage with the locking hole on the side wall of the embossing seat 4, thus fixing the embossing seat 4 relative to the mounting plate 10. At this point, the first servo cylinder 7 is activated again to control the embossing seat 4 to descend for embossing. During the embossing process, the conveyor belt 2 continuously moves the pastry, ensuring that the surface of the pastry is embossed evenly and completely. After embossing, the pastry is sent to the heating box by the conveyor belt 2 for setting.

[0057] Specifically, the conveyor belt 2 also uses a stepper motor to control the movement distance, ensuring that the surface of the pastry can be fully covered for embossing, and achieving coordinated operation between the lifting of the embossing seat 4 and the movement of the pastry. This is a conventional technology and will not be described in detail.

[0058] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0059] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
