[0025] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] A flaky mooncake shaping and pressing device includes a base 1, a pressing mold box 2 with an open top on the base 1, a pressing template 3 matching the inner cavity size of the pressing mold box 2 on the top of the pressing mold box 2, a release template 4 matching the inner cavity size of the pressing mold box 2, a lifting assembly 8 between the base 1 and the release template 4, pressure sensors 9 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the release template 4, mounting grooves 10 corresponding to the positions of the pressure sensors 9 symmetrically opened on both sides of the bottom of the pressing mold box 2, and mounting screw holes 11 symmetrically opened on both sides of the mounting grooves 10, a mounting plate 12 in the mounting grooves 10, mounting bolts 13 symmetrically passing through the mounting plate 12, a connecting support plate 14 above the mounting plate 12, a buffer airbag 15 fixedly connected to the top of the connecting support plate 14, and a snap-fit ​​assembly 16 between the connecting support plate 14 and the mounting plate 12.

[0027] The release template 4 is equipped with wear-resistant pads 5 of matching specifications above it. Multiple rubber clips 6 are evenly spaced and fixedly connected to the bottom of the wear-resistant pads 5. The top of the release template 4 has multiple positioning slots 7, equal in number, corresponding in position, and matching in specifications to the rubber clips 6. The wear-resistant pads 5 provide good wear resistance to the release template 4, preventing direct contact between the release template 4 and the flaky mooncake, thus ensuring the service life of the release template 4. The lifting assembly 8 includes a low-speed motor 801 located at the center of the inner cavity of the base 1 and a lifting box 802 fixedly connected to the center of the top of the base 1. A threaded rod 803 is fixedly connected to the output end of the low-speed motor 801, and the top end of the threaded rod 803 extends into the lifting box 802, with this end touching the inner cavity of the lifting box 802. The top rotating connection has a threaded rod 803 that passes through and is threadedly connected to a threaded seat 804. The threaded seat 804 and the inner cavity of the lifting box 802 are longitudinally slidably connected. The left and right sides of the lifting box 802 are symmetrically provided with through slots 805. The left and right ends of the threaded seat 804 are symmetrically and fixedly connected with L-shaped lifting support rods 806. The end of the lifting support rod 806 away from the threaded seat 804 extends outward through the through slot 805. The top end of the lifting support rod 806 passes through the bottom wall of the molding box 2 and is fixedly connected to the bottom of the demolding template 4. The lifting assembly 8 can adjust the height of the demolding template 4, thus raising the shaped flaky mooncake for easy demolding and removal. This not only improves the shaping efficiency of the flaky mooncake, but also... To avoid causing excessive damage to the appearance of the flaky mooncakes and ensure a high yield rate, the snap-fit ​​assembly 16 includes snap-fit ​​blocks 1601 symmetrically and fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the connecting support plate 14, and snap-fit ​​slots 1602 symmetrically opened on both sides of the inner cavity of the mounting plate 12, corresponding to the snap-fit ​​blocks 1601 in position and matching in size. A movable groove 1603 is provided on one side of the snap-fit ​​slot 1602. A movable support plate 1604 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the movable groove 1603. A movable support rod 1605 is fixedly connected to the center of the side wall of the movable support plate 1604 near the movable groove 1603. One end of the movable support rod 1605, away from the movable support plate 1604, penetrates the side wall of the mounting plate 12, and a movable handle 1606 is fixedly connected to this end. A positioning block 1607 is fixedly connected to the center of one side wall of plate 1604 near the snap-fit ​​slot 1602. A positioning slot 1608 corresponding to the position and matching the specifications of the positioning block 1607 is opened on one side wall of the snap-fit ​​block 1601. A return spring 1609 is sleeved on the outside of the movable support rod 1605. The two ends of the return spring 1609 are fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the movable groove 1603 and one side wall of the movable support plate 1604, respectively. The snap-fit ​​assembly 16 can provide a good connection between the connecting support plate 14 and the mounting plate 12. Therefore, it can not only ensure the structural stability of the buffer airbag 15 during normal use, but also facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the buffer airbag 15 after it is damaged, so as to reduce the difficulty of subsequent maintenance.

[0028] Workflow: First, power on all electrical appliances and connect them to external controllers. When extruding and shaping the flaky mooncakes, first place the flaky mooncakes on the release template 4 inside the molding box 2. Then, use the pressing template 3 to extrude and shape the flaky mooncakes to make their size and thickness more uniform, ensuring the consistency of the subsequent baking products. After shaping, remove the pressing template 3. Then, start the low-speed motor 801 located in the inner cavity of the base 1 in the lifting assembly 8, which drives the threaded rod 803 to rotate at a low speed. The rotation of the threaded rod 803 will drive the threaded seat 804 to move upward in the lifting box 802. At the same time, the threaded seat 804 drives the lifting support rod 806 to move upward in the through groove 805. Finally, the lifting support rod 806... The release mold 4 and the flaky mooncakes on it are raised to facilitate demolding and removal. This not only improves the shaping efficiency of the flaky mooncakes but also avoids excessive damage to their appearance, ensuring a high yield rate. The wear-resistant pad 5 provides good wear resistance to the release mold 4, preventing direct contact between the release mold 4 and the flaky mooncakes and extending its service life. Since the wear-resistant pad 5 is detachable, it is easy to disassemble and replace when damaged, reducing subsequent maintenance difficulties. During installation, the wear-resistant pad 5 is first placed above the release mold 4, and then the multiple rubber clips 6 at its bottom are inserted one by one into the corresponding positioning slots 7 on the top of the release mold 4 for engagement. During disassembly, simply pull it out forcefully. After the demolding template 4 rises and demolds, it needs to be lowered and reset for the next extrusion and shaping. The principle for lowering and resetting is the same as for rising demolding; simply control the low-speed motor 801 to reverse. When the demolding template 4 moves down to the bottom where the pressure sensor 9 contacts the buffer airbag 15, the buffer airbag 15 will buffer and protect the pressure sensor 9. When the pressure sensor 9 is pressed upon contact with the buffer airbag 15, it will send a signal to stop the low-speed motor 801, preventing the demolding template 4 from continuing to descend. This ensures that the demolding template 4 will not continue to descend after reaching the bottom of the compression mold box 2 cavity, thus preventing damage to the demolding template 4. During installation, the mounting plate 12 simply needs to be embedded into the mounting groove 10 and the mounting screws... The bolt 13 can be screwed into the mounting screw hole 11. Disassembly is similar. The snap-fit ​​assembly 16 provides a good connection between the connecting support plate 14 and the mounting plate 12. Therefore, it not only ensures the structural stability of the buffer airbag 15 during normal use, but also facilitates disassembly and replacement of the buffer airbag 15 after damage, reducing subsequent maintenance difficulty. During installation of the buffer airbag 15, first pull the movable support rod 1605 outward using the movable handle 1606. This causes the movable support rod 1605 to move the movable support plate 1604 and its positioning block 1607 outward within the movable groove 1603. Then, insert the snap-fit ​​block 1601 at the bottom of the connecting support plate 14 into the snap-fit ​​slot 1602 and release the movable handle 1606.Because the movable handle 1606 compresses the return spring 1609 via the movable support plate 1604 when pulled outward, the compressive force of the return spring 1609 disappears when the movable handle 1606 is released. The return spring 1609 then uses its own rebound force to move the movable support plate 1604 and its positioning block 1607 back towards the locking slot 1602, allowing the positioning block 1607 to insert into the positioning slot 1608 for positioning and locking, thus ensuring the structural stability of the buffer airbag 15. The same principle applies during disassembly.
