Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of mooncake filling machines, and in particular to a mooncake filling machine with adjustable filling amount. Background Technology

[0002] A mooncake filling machine is an automated device specifically designed for mooncake production. It efficiently and precisely wraps fillings within dough, significantly improving production efficiency and quality. The machine typically consists of a dough feeding device, a filling feeding device, a forming device, and an output device. Through a precise control system, it achieves quantitative feeding, precise wrapping, and shaping of the dough and filling. During operation, simply place the prepared dough and filling into the corresponding hopper, and the machine will automatically complete the filling process, producing mooncakes of uniform size and attractive appearance. Compared to traditional hand-wrapping, mooncake filling machines are not only faster and have higher output, but they also ensure uniform filling and consistent dough thickness, avoiding quality variations caused by human error. Furthermore, many mooncake filling machines offer a variety of molds to choose from, enabling the production of mooncakes of different shapes and flavors to meet diverse market demands. Some advanced mooncake filling machines also feature user-friendly designs, making operation simple, cleaning, and maintenance easy, reducing labor intensity and saving production costs. In conclusion, the mooncake filling machine is an indispensable piece of equipment in modern mooncake production. With its high efficiency, precision, and stability, it has brought significant economic benefits to mooncake manufacturers and provided consumers with more delicious and safer mooncake products.

[0003] A search of Chinese patent "A Quantitative Filling Output Device for Mooncake Production Line" (publication number CN210695735U) reveals that the device includes a filling cylinder with a vertically mounted screw feeder inside. A filling platform is located below the filling cylinder, and multiple filling cylinders are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the upper end of the filling platform and the lower end of the filling cylinder. Each filling cylinder has an opening on its right side. A discharge pipe is connected to each filling cylinder, and a solenoid valve is installed in the discharge pipe. This invention, on the one hand, guides the filling into the filling cylinders through the discharge pipe under the combined action of the screw feeder and its own gravity. The weight of the filling is sensed by a bearing plate and a pressure sensor. On the other hand, a motor, via a connecting rod, a moving plate, and a piston rod, drives an extrusion piston to squeeze the filling from the filling cylinders into the mooncakes, completing the quantitative output of filling. Simultaneously, multiple mooncakes can be filled at once, resulting in nearly identical mooncake weights, improving filling quality and efficiency, and ensuring hygiene.

[0004] In existing technology, the amount of filling in mooncake filling machines cannot be controlled in a timely manner. Each time the amount of filling needs to be adjusted, the machine needs to be stopped and the diameter of the filling outlet needs to be manually adjusted in order to control the amount of filling. Each time the machine is stopped for adjustment, a lot of time is spent, which affects the processing efficiency of mooncakes. Utility Model Content

[0026] 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.

[0027] In practical implementation: such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a mooncake filling machine with adjustable filling capacity includes:

[0028] Mooncake filling machine main body 1;

[0029] Feeding channel 3 is located inside the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine;

[0030] Adjustment groove 4 is formed on the inner circumference of the feeding channel 3;

[0031] The channel adjustment structure includes multiple sleeves 5 and sliders 6. The multiple sliders 6 are slidably connected inside the multiple sleeves 5, and the multiple sleeves 5 and sliders 6 form a ring.

[0032] A control component is connected to the channel adjustment structure to adjust the channel diameter.

[0033] In this embodiment: The feeding channel 3 inside the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine is used to transport the mixed mooncake filling. The adjusting groove 4 is opened on the inner wall of the feeding channel 3. The adjusting groove 4 is used to set the channel adjusting structure. The channel adjusting structure consists of multiple sleeves 5 and sliders 6. A slider 6 is slidably connected in two adjacent sleeves 5. The slider 6 slides in the sleeves 5. The multiple sleeves 5 and sliders 6 form an annular diameter, thereby controlling the amount of mooncake filling extruded. The channel adjusting structure is connected to the control component. The control component controls the operation of the channel adjusting structure and controls the amount of mooncake filling extruded. By using this device, the operation of the motor is controlled, which indirectly controls the operation of the control component. The control component drives the operation of the channel adjusting structure, changing the channel diameter, thereby controlling the amount of mooncake filling. This is an automated control method that is easy to adjust.

[0034] like Figures 1-4 As shown, each control component includes an annular groove, an annular block, and multiple sets of connecting parts. The annular groove is opened inside the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine, the annular block is rotatably connected to the annular groove, and the multiple sets of connecting parts connect the channel adjustment structure and the annular block.

[0035] In this embodiment: the annular groove is opened inside the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine, the annular block rotates in the annular groove, and multiple sets of connecting parts are respectively connected to the sleeve 5 and the annular block. The rotation of the annular block drives the connecting parts to run, and the connecting parts drive the sleeve 5 to move. Multiple sleeves 5 cooperate to adjust the channel diameter.

[0036] like Figures 1-4 As shown, each set of connecting components includes a control rod 7, a control groove 8, a limiting groove 9, and a through hole. The through hole is opened inside the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine and connects the adjusting groove 4 and the annular groove. The control rod 7 is slidably connected inside the through hole and is fixedly connected to the surface of the sleeve 5. The control groove 8 is opened inside the annular block, and the limiting groove 9 is located inside the inner wall of the control groove 8. The control rod 7 is slidably connected inside the control groove 8 and the limiting groove 9.

[0037] In this embodiment: the through hole connects the adjusting groove 4 and the annular groove. When the annular groove rotates, the control rod 7 slides in the control groove 8. Due to the special shape of the control groove 8, the control rod 7 pushes and pulls the sleeve 5 when sliding to control the diameter of the channel. The control rod 7 slides in the limiting groove 9. The limiting groove 9 is used to limit the control rod 7 and improve the stability of the control rod 7 sliding in the control groove 8.

[0038] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine has a drive groove 10 and an installation groove 12. The drive groove 10 and the installation groove 12 are connected. The drive groove 10 is connected to the annular groove. An arc-shaped rack 11 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the annular block. A gear 13 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the installation groove 12. The gear 13 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 11. A motor is fixedly connected to the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine. The output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the surface of the gear 13.

[0039] In this embodiment: when the motor is running, it drives the gear 13 connected to its output end to rotate. The gear 13 meshes with the arc-shaped rack 11. The rotation of the gear 13 drives the arc-shaped rack 11 to slide in the drive groove 10. The arc-shaped rack 11 drives the ring block to rotate, which indirectly drives the operation of the channel adjustment structure.

[0040] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine is provided with multiple sets of elastic structures. Each set of elastic structures includes an elastic groove 14, a slide rod 15, a slide plate 16, and a spring 17. There are two slide rods 15, two slide plates 16, and two springs 17. The elastic groove 14 is opened inside the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine and communicates with the through hole. The two slide plates 16 are fixedly connected to both sides of the surface of the control rod 7. The two slide rods 15 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the elastic groove 14. The two slide plates 16 are slidably connected to the circumferential surface of the two slide rods 15 respectively. The two springs 17 are respectively sleeved on the circumferential surface of the two slide rods 15.

[0041] In this embodiment: the elastic structure is used to limit the control rod 7 and improve the stability of the control rod 7 when sliding. When the control rod 7 slides, it drives the two slide plates 16 to slide on the circumferential surfaces of the two slide rods 15 respectively. Through the elastic force of the spring 17, a certain elastic force is provided to maintain the stability of the movement of the control rod 7.

[0042] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the two ends of the feeding channel 3 are respectively connected to the filling feeding structure and the forming structure inside the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine.

[0043] In this embodiment: the mooncake filling generated by the filling feeding structure is transported to the forming structure through the feeding channel 3.

[0044] like Figures 1-4 As shown, support feet 2 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower end of the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine.

[0045] In this embodiment, the support foot 2 serves to support the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine.

[0046] It should be noted that the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine, the motor, the filling feeding structure and the forming structure used in this device are all existing technologies. The specific model of the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine, the motor, the filling feeding structure and the forming structure can be selected according to actual needs, and will not be elaborated on here.

[0047] In use, the mooncake filling is first placed into the filling feeding structure inside the main body 1 of the mooncake filling machine for processing. The processed filling is then fed into the forming structure through the feeding channel 3. By controlling the operation of the motor, the output gear 13 of the motor rotates, and the gear 13 drives the arc-shaped rack 11 to slide in the drive groove 10. The arc-shaped rack 11 drives the control component to operate, and then the control component drives the channel adjustment structure to operate, adjusting the channel diameter, thereby adjusting the filling extrusion amount. By using this device, the operation of the motor is controlled, indirectly regulating the operation of the control component. The control component drives the channel adjustment structure to operate, changing the channel diameter, thereby controlling the amount of mooncake filling, which is convenient for adjustment.

[0048] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
