Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to daily necessities, and more particularly to food processing technology, specifically a wing-shaped decorative device for cakes. Background Technology

[0002] As consumers' demand for personalization increases, cake decorations are no longer limited to simple inserts and ornaments. More complex and aesthetically pleasing artistic decorations are being used, such as lighting equipment and mechanical components, to add more fun to cakes and cater to market demands.

[0003] For example, chocolate models shaped like butterflies or birds are often used as cake decorations to create a dreamy, fairytale-like artistic effect, which is very popular with children and other audiences, and has high market value. In existing technology, the wings of butterfly or bird models cannot move up and down, thus limiting their appeal. However, due to the specific requirements of their application in the food industry, achieving up-and-down wing movement requires overcoming the following challenges:

[0004] These types of cakes are mostly targeted at children, who have weaker cognitive abilities and are more likely to accidentally swallow the parts.

[0005] The parts should not be too small, as small parts can easily cause choking if swallowed.

[0006] If edible materials (such as chocolate) are used to make the parts, the parts are prone to breakage during transmission.

[0007] Exposed transmission parts on the outside of the cake will affect its appearance.

[0008] The installation of transmission components cannot be too complicated, making it difficult to combine with the cake, or the production cost will be too high. Utility Model Content

[0009] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a wing decoration device for cakes, which solves the technical problems of choking after accidental ingestion, easy breakage of edible materials, unsightly exposed parts, and complex and costly installation in the prior art.

[0010] A wing-shaped decorative device for a cake includes a base on which a cake is placed, and a movable model is placed on the cake. The movable model includes a model body, a first swing member, and a second swing member. The first swing member is rotatably connected to one side of the model body, and the second swing member is rotatably connected to the other side of the model body. A transmission column is included, which is vertically positioned. A through hole is formed at the top of the base, and the bottom end of the transmission column passes through the through hole and is disposed within the base. A fork-shaped structure is provided at the top of the transmission column, the fork-shaped structure including two teeth, the two teeth respectively engaging with the first... The bottom of the swinging component and the bottom of the second swinging component are in contact connection; the base is also provided with a transmission disk and a motor, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the bottom axis of the transmission disk, the top surface of the transmission disk is an inclined surface, the bottom end of the transmission column is in contact connection with the inclined surface, and the transmission column is eccentrically set with the transmission disk; the cake is coaxially provided with a first cavity and a second cavity with the transmission column, the first cavity is located above the second cavity; the transmission column is located in the second cavity, and the fork-shaped structure is located in the first cavity; the movable model and the transmission column are both made of edible material.

[0011] Furthermore, the cross-section of the transmission column is rectangular.

[0012] Furthermore, the first swing member and the rotation axis of the model body are located at one end of the first swing member, and the second swing member and the rotation axis of the model body are located at one end of the second swing member. The first swing member and the second swing member are connected by a transmission gear meshing.

[0013] Furthermore, wing models are respectively provided on the first swing component and the second swing component.

[0014] Furthermore, the motor is battery-powered.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are positive and obvious:

[0026] The following embodiments will further illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a wing decoration device for cakes, including a base 1, a cake 2 on the base 1, and a movable model 3 on the cake 2. The movable model 3 can be a butterfly, bird, or other creature with wings, to achieve a beautiful decorative effect.

[0028] The movable model 3 includes a model body 301, a first swinging member 302, and a second swinging member 303. The first swinging member 302 is rotatably connected to one side of the model body 301, and the second swinging member 303 is rotatably connected to the other side of the model body 301. Wing models are respectively installed on the first swinging member 302 and the second swinging member 303. The first swinging member 302 and the second swinging member 303 can simulate the movement of wings by swinging back and forth around the axis of rotation, thereby improving the aesthetics and fun.

[0029] It includes a transmission column 4 with a rectangular cross-section and is set vertically relative to the horizontal plane; the base 1 is hollow inside and has a through hole at the top, which is clearance-fitted with the transmission column 4, and the bottom end of the transmission column 4 passes through the through hole and is set inside the base 1; the top end of the transmission column 4 is provided with a fork-shaped structure 401, which includes two teeth, and the two teeth respectively contact and connect with the bottom of the first swing member 302 and the bottom of the second swing member 303.

[0030] The base 1 is also equipped with a transmission disk 5 and a motor 6. The motor 6 is fixedly installed in the base 1 and driven by the battery 7. The output shaft of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom shaft of the transmission disk 5. The top surface of the transmission disk 5 is inclined relative to the horizontal plane, and the angle between the inclined plane and the horizontal plane is 15°. The bottom end of the transmission column 4 is in contact with the inclined plane. The transmission column 4 and the transmission disk 5 are eccentrically set.

[0031] Motor 6 drives transmission disc 5 to rotate. Since the top surface of transmission disc 5 is inclined and the bottom end of connecting column is in contact with the inclined surface, the rotation of transmission disc 5 causes connecting column to rise and fall with the change of inclined surface. The rise and fall of connecting column drives the rise and fall of fork structure 401, thereby lifting or lowering the first swing member 302 and the second swing member 303 to achieve the swing effect.

[0032] The first swing member 302 and the rotation axis of the model body 301 are located at one end of the first swing member 302, and the second swing member 303 and the rotation axis of the model body 301 are located at one end of the second swing member 303. The first swing member 302 and the second swing member 303 are connected by meshing transmission teeth, thereby improving the synchronization of the swing of the two wings. The transmission teeth are designed for gain, so even if the transmission teeth wear and break, it will not affect the swing of the wings. In other embodiments, the transmission tooth structure may not be used.

[0033] The cake 2 has a first cavity 201 and a second cavity 202 coaxially with the transmission column 4. The first cavity 201 is located above the second cavity 202. The transmission column 4 is located in the second cavity 202, and the fork-shaped structure 401 is located in the first cavity 201, thereby restricting the position of the transmission column 4 to prevent it from tipping over, while providing space for the transmission column 4 and the fork-shaped structure 401 to rise and fall.

[0034] In this embodiment, the movable model 3 (including the wing model) and the transmission column 4 are both made of chocolate. The contact between the transmission column 4 and the transmission disk 5, and the contact between the fork-shaped structure 401 and the first swing member 302 and the second swing member 303, are surface contacts. Compared with point contacts, the contact area is larger, which effectively reduces pressure, and the parts are not completely restricted from each other, thereby preventing the parts from breaking.

[0035] How to use this embodiment:

[0036] Step 1: Place cake 2 on base 1, where motor 6 and transmission plate 5 are pre-installed.

[0037] Step 2: Vertically carve out the first cavity 201 on cake 2, and then coaxially carve out the second cavity 202. The first cavity 201 and the second cavity 202 are aligned with the through hole on the base 1.

[0038] Step 3: Place the transmission column 4 into the second cavity 202, with the bottom of the transmission column 4 passing through the through hole and contacting the transmission disc 5.

[0039] Step 4: Fix the movable model 3 onto the cake 2 (the fixing method can be by using sugar glue, or by setting a structure such as a chocolate stick on the movable model 3 to insert into the cake 2 for auxiliary fixing). The first swinging part 302 and the second swinging part 303 of the movable model 3 are located above the teeth of the fork-shaped structure 401 on the transmission column 4.

[0040] Step 5: Further decorate cake 2 by decorating cake 2 with cream and other decorations, and install wings on the first swing member 302 and the second swing member 303.

[0041] Step 6: Start motor 6. Motor 6 drives transmission disc 5 to rotate. Since the top surface of transmission disc 5 is inclined and the bottom end of the connecting column is in contact with the inclined surface, the rotation of transmission disc 5 causes the connecting column to rise and fall with the change of the inclined surface. The rise and fall of the connecting column drives the rise and fall of the fork structure 401, thereby lifting or lowering the first swing member 302 and the second swing member 303 to achieve the effect of wing swing.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
