[0002] The production of puffed food is a systematic project that integrates multiple stages such as raw material processing, shaping, and post-processing. Its process is scientific and rigorous, and each step has an important impact on the quality, taste, and shape of the final product. In the production of puffed food, the shaping stage is the key step that determines product quality and production efficiency.

[0003] Forming devices for puffed food production are key equipment in the puffed food production process. Like a "shaping master" on the production line, they connect the core links of raw material processing and finished product forming, and directly determine the shape accuracy, texture and taste of puffed food, as well as the continuity and stability of production.

[0004] Existing puffed food forming devices, while capable of food forming and processing, often suffer from poor material uniformity due to insufficient mixing during the raw material mixing stage.

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.

[0032] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a forming device for producing puffed food, comprising a main body 1. A lifting adjustment assembly 2 is provided on the outer side of the main body 1. The lifting adjustment assembly 2 is used to adjust the height of the main body 1 to adapt to different production scenarios and processing requirements. The lifting adjustment assembly 2 includes an adjusting seat 21, a guide seat 22, a first slide rail 23, and a second slide rail 24. The outer wall of the adjusting seat 21 is fixedly connected to the surface of the main body 1, providing a connection support point for the main body 1 and enabling height adjustment. The key load-bearing component, guide seat 22, has its outer wall fixedly connected to the back of the main body 1. Guide seat 22 cooperates with adjusting seat 21 to limit and guide the main body 1 from different directions, ensuring stability during the lifting process. The outer wall of adjusting seat 21 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first slide rail 23, which provides a sliding track for adjusting seat 21 and restricts its direction of movement. The outer wall of guide seat 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second slide rail 24, which provides a sliding track for guide seat 22 and, together with the first slide rail 24... 3. A stable guiding structure is formed. The bottom ends of the first slide rail 23 and the second slide rail 24 are fixedly connected to the mounting base 25. The mounting base 25 provides the installation foundation for the entire lifting and adjusting assembly 2, enhancing the overall stability of the device. The inner wall of the adjusting seat 21 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 26. The adjusting screw 26 drives the adjusting seat 21 to move up and down through the threaded transmission, which is the core transmission component for realizing height adjustment. The bottom end of the adjusting screw 26 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 28. The bearing seat 28 reduces the frictional resistance when the adjusting screw 26 rotates, ensuring... Its rotation is smooth and its position is stable.

The outer wall of the adjusting motor 27 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first slide rail frame 23. This fixing method ensures the stability of the adjusting motor 27 during operation and avoids the transmission accuracy from being affected by vibration. The bottom end of the bearing seat 28 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base 25, so that the bearing seat 28 and the mounting base 25 form a stable connection, providing reliable support for the adjusting screw 26.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4A fixing seat 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the main body 1 of the device. The fixing seat 3 is used to install and fix the mixing tank 41, providing it with a stable support structure. A forming and processing component 4 is arranged between the main body 1 and the fixing seat 3. The forming and processing component 4 is the core working component for forming puffed food, responsible for completing the processes of raw material mixing, conveying, and forming. The forming and processing component 4 includes the mixing tank 41, the extrusion pipe 45, and the fixing frame 47. The outer wall of the mixing tank 41 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing seat 3. The fixing seat 3 provides a stable installation foundation for the mixing tank 41 to prevent it from shaking during the mixing process. The bottom ends of the extrusion pipe 45 and the fixing frame 47 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the main body 1 of the device. The main body 1 provides installation support for these components to ensure the integrity of the forming and processing component 4. The main body has a stable structure. Two fixing frames 47 are provided, mirror-image arranged along the central axis of the main body 1. The symmetrical arrangement of the fixing frames 47 evenly distributes the weight of the extruder 48, improving support stability. An electric agitator 42 is embedded in the top of the mixing tank 41. The electric agitator 42 is used to stir and mix the raw materials in the mixing tank 41, ensuring uniform mixing. The electric agitator 42 consists of a motor, a stirring shaft, and a stirring scraper. The motor provides power, and the stirring shaft drives the stirring scraper to rotate. The stirring scraper can scrape off the raw materials on the tank wall, ensuring thorough mixing and reducing material waste. A feeding flap 43 is movably hinged to the left side of the upper surface of the mixing tank 41. The feeding flap 43 facilitates the addition of raw materials into the mixing tank 41 and prevents material splashing out when closed. Impurities enter the mixing tank 41. An electrically controlled valve pipe 44 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing tank 41. The electrically controlled valve pipe 44 controls the discharge of raw materials after mixing, achieving automated feeding control through electrical control. The bottom of the electrically controlled valve pipe 44 is connected to the top of the extrusion pipe 45, ensuring that the mixed raw materials can smoothly enter the extrusion pipe 45 from the mixing tank 41 for further processing. An electric auger 46 is embedded on the left side of the extrusion pipe 45. The electric auger 46 pushes the raw materials in the extrusion pipe 45 forward, providing power for the raw materials to enter the extruder 48. The electric auger 46 consists of a motor, an auger rod, and bearings. The motor provides rotational power, the auger rod pushes the raw materials by rotation, and the bearings reduce friction during rotation, ensuring smooth operation. (Fixed frame) An extruder 48 is fixedly connected to the right side of the bracket 47. The bracket 47 provides support and fixation for the extruder 48, ensuring its stability during operation. A feed pipe 415 is connected through the upper surface of the extrusion tube 45 to the extruder 48, which conveys the raw material in the extrusion tube 45 to the extruder 48 for extrusion molding. The outer surface of the extruder 48 has a mounting groove 49 for positioning and installing the molding template 411, facilitating quick installation and replacement of the molding template 411. Locking holes 410 are fixedly connected to both ends of the extruder 48. The locking holes 410 cooperate with the telescopic locking pins 412 on the molding template 411 to fix the molding template 411 and prevent it from loosening during extrusion.A forming template 411 is movably engaged between the mounting slot 49 and the locking hole seat 410. The forming template 411 is a key component that determines the shape of the puffed food. The movable engagement allows for easy replacement of templates of different shapes as needed. A telescopic locking pin 412 is fixedly connected to the surface of the forming template 411. The telescopic locking pin 412 can extend and retract into the locking hole seat 410, enabling quick fixing and disassembly of the forming template 411 and the extruder 48. A mounting bracket 413 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the extruder 48. The mounting bracket 413 is used to install and fix the electric telescopic scraper 414, providing a mounting base for it. There are two mounting brackets 413, which are mirror images of each other along the central axis of the extruder 48. The symmetrically arranged mounting brackets 413 ensure that the electric telescopic scraper 414 can act symmetrically on the forming template 411, guaranteeing a uniform cutting effect for the extruded puffed food material. The electric telescopic scraper 414 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting bracket 413. The electric telescopic scraper 414 is used to cut the food extruded from the forming template 411, achieving continuous forming processing.

[0034] Working principle: First, the height of the main body 1 of the device is adapted by the lifting adjustment component 2. The adjustment motor 27 is started to drive the adjustment screw 26 to rotate. With the threaded engagement between the adjustment screw 26 and the adjustment seat 21, the main body 1 of the device is driven to rise and fall smoothly in the vertical direction under the guiding and limiting action of the first slide frame 23 and the second slide frame 24 on the adjustment seat 21 and the guide seat 22, respectively, until the appropriate working height is reached.

[0035] Subsequently, the processing and shaping of the puffed food raw materials are carried out: the feeding flap 43 of the mixing tank 41 is opened to add the raw materials, and after closing the flap, the electric mixer 42 is started. The motor drives the mixing shaft and the mixing scraper to rotate, thoroughly mixing the raw materials. At the same time, the mixing scraper cleans the residual raw materials on the tank wall. After mixing is completed, the electric control valve 44 is opened, and the raw materials enter the extrusion pipe 45 through the through channel. The electric auger 46 is started, and its motor drives the auger rod to rotate, pushing the raw materials along the extrusion pipe 45 and conveying them to the extrusion through the feeding pipe 415. Inside the extruder 48, the raw material is compressed and then extruded through the die holes of the forming template 411. The forming template 411 is positioned by the mounting slot 49 and fixed by the telescopic pin 412 and the locking hole seat 410, which can be quickly replaced as needed. At the same time, the electric telescopic scraper 414 on the mounting frame 413 works synchronously to uniformly cut the extruded continuous material, and finally completes the forming process of the puffed food. The whole process realizes an automated production process from raw material mixing to forming and cutting through the coordinated cooperation of various components.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
