Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food production equipment technology, and in particular to an embossing and cutting device for pastry production. Background Technology
[0002] Pastries are a type of food made from one or more of the following ingredients: grains, beans, tubers, oils, sugar, eggs, etc., with or without the addition of other ingredients, through processes such as preparation, shaping, and cooking. In order to improve the production efficiency of pastries, manufacturers will choose to make a whole large pastry, and then cut and package it. In order to improve the appearance or identification of pastries, patterns will also be embossed on the surface of the pastries.
[0003] In existing devices, during the detachment process after embossing and slitting, pastries tend to stick to the embossing and slitting mold due to their own stickiness or surface tension with the mold. If they cannot be effectively detached, it will result in pastry residue, deformation, or damage, which not only increases the scrap rate but may also require machine shutdown to clean the mold, affecting production continuity. Therefore, we propose an embossing and slitting device for pastry production to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide an embossing and cutting device for pastry production, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned above.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] A pastry embossing and slitting device includes a support assembly, a movable assembly installed in the inner cavity of the support assembly, a pressing assembly installed on the upper part of the support assembly, an embossing and slitting assembly installed at the output part of the pressing assembly, and an adjustment assembly installed on the upper part of the support assembly.
[0007] Preferably, the support assembly includes a base, with support legs fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower end of the base, and a support plate installed on the front and right side walls of the inner cavity of the base.
[0008] Preferably, the moving component includes two rotating shafts, both of which are installed in the inner cavity of the base. A conveyor belt is wound around the outer surfaces of the two rotating shafts. A pulley is fixedly connected to the front end of each of the two rotating shafts via a shaft rod. A belt is wound around the outer surfaces of the two pulleys. A motor is installed at the rear end of the base.
[0009] Preferably, the pressing component includes a support frame, which is mounted on the upper end of the base. A cylinder is installed on the upper end of the support frame, and two guide rods are slidably connected to the inner surface of the support frame.
[0010] Preferably, the embossing and slitting assembly includes a slitting shell, which is installed at the cylinder output end. A plurality of springs are installed on the top wall of the inner cavity of the slitting shell, and an embossing plate is installed at the lower end of each of the springs.
[0011] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a fixing plate, two fixing plates are mounted on the upper end of the base, a rotating disk is mounted on the front end of the fixing plate located at the front, a bidirectional threaded rod is mounted on the right end of the rotating disk via a shaft, and a guide rod is fixedly connected to one end of the two adjustment plates that are close to each other. The outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod and the outer surface of the adjustment plate are slidably connected to the two adjustment plates.
[0012] Preferably, the rear ends of both pulleys are rotatably connected to the front end of the base, and the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating shaft located on the right side via a coupling.
[0013] Preferably, the front and rear ends of the bidirectional threaded rod are rotatably connected to the ends of the two fixed plates that are close to each other.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] 1. This device, through its designed support and moving components, enables the support plate to provide support during embossing and cutting. If there is no rigid support under the conveyor belt, it is prone to local sinking or deformation due to stress. The support plate provides a rigid reference surface for the conveyor belt, ensuring the stability of the pastry's position under pressure. This avoids the embossing pattern shifting or becoming blurred due to conveyor belt shaking, or deviations in cutting dimensions, significantly improving processing accuracy. Moreover, most pastries are relatively fragile. If the conveyor belt sinks under stress, the pastry may be excessively squeezed and deformed under pressure. The block support evenly distributes the pressure, preventing additional deformation and reducing the scrap rate due to shape damage.
[0016] 2. This device, through its designed embossing and cutting components, can eject the pastry after embossing and cutting. During the embossing process, the pastry is in close contact with the inner wall of the mold and is prone to sticking to the mold due to adhesion or surface tension. The elastic force generated by the spring tension can act specifically on the pastry in the mold, providing continuous and directional pushing force to ensure that the pastry is completely removed from the mold, avoiding pastry residue, deformation or damage caused by adhesion, reducing the scrap rate. At the same time, the elastic force of the spring has flexible characteristics and can adapt to pastries of different textures. For fragile pastries, it can avoid breakage caused by rigid ejection. For soft pastries, it can prevent the shape from collapsing due to excessive compression, ensuring clear embossed patterns and complete edges, and improving the consistency of product appearance.
[0017] 3. This device, through its designed adjustment components, can change the position of the pastry before embossing and slitting, allowing the pastry to adapt to the size of the slitting shell. During the conveying process, the position of the pastry may shift due to conveyor belt vibration or differences in the shape of the incoming material. If not adjusted in advance, the pattern may deviate from the center of the pastry during embossing, and size deviations may occur during slitting. By adjusting the pre-positioning of the components, it can ensure that the center of the pastry is precisely aligned with the center of the mold, and the edge is precisely aligned with the slitting blade, so that the embossed pattern of each pastry is completely centered and the slitting size is uniform, significantly improving the consistency of product appearance and specifications.

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0026] Example 1, as Figure 1As shown, a pastry embossing and slitting device for pastry production includes a support assembly 1, a moving assembly 2 installed in the inner cavity of the support assembly 1, a pressing assembly 3 installed on the upper part of the support assembly 1, an embossing and slitting assembly 4 installed at the output part of the pressing assembly 3, and an adjusting assembly 5 installed on the upper part of the support assembly 1.
[0027] When implementing this solution, the operator first places the pastry on the surface of the moving component 2, and then the operator starts the moving component 2 to move the pastry. When the pastry moves to the bottom of the embossing and cutting component 4, the operator closes the moving component 2 and starts the pressing component 3. The pressing component 3 then pushes the embossing and cutting component 4 down to emboss and cut the pastry. At the same time, the embossing and cutting support component 1 provides support for the pastry to ensure that the pastry can be completely embossed and cut, avoiding problems such as embossing pattern offset, blurring, or cutting size deviation.
[0028] Before embossing and cutting, the operator needs to rotate the adjusting component 5 according to the size of the embossing and cutting component 4, so that the channel of the adjusting component 5 is the same as the size of the embossing and cutting component 4. This ensures that the pastry moves in a precise position, preventing the pastry from changing position during movement or causing a large amount of waste due to incorrect placement of the pastry by the operator. After embossing and cutting, the embossing and cutting component 4 will stretch, allowing it to push the pastry to move. This prevents the pastry from sticking inside the embossing and cutting component 4 due to its stickiness, which would require stopping the machine for cleaning.
[0029] Specifically, in order to move and stably perform embossing and slicing of pastries, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this scheme, the support component 1 includes a base 11, and support legs 12 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower end of the base 11. Support plates 13 are installed on the front side wall and the right side wall of the inner cavity of the base 11.
[0030] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The moving component 2 includes a rotating shaft 21. Both rotating shafts 21 are installed in the inner cavity of the base 11. A conveyor belt 22 is wound around the outer surface of the two rotating shafts 21. The front ends of the two rotating shafts 21 are fixedly connected to pulleys 23 by shafts. A belt 24 is wound around the outer surface of the two pulleys 23. A motor 25 is installed at the rear end of the base 11.
[0031] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pressing component 3 includes a support frame 31, which is mounted on the upper end of the base 11. A cylinder 32 is mounted on the upper end of the support frame 31, and two guide rods 33 are slidably connected to the inner surface of the support frame 31.
[0032] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The rear ends of the two pulleys 23 are rotatably connected to the front end of the base 11, and the output end of the motor 25 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the rotating shaft 21 located on the right side via a coupling.
[0033] When implementing this solution, the operator first places the pastry on the surface of the conveyor belt 22, and then the operator starts the motor 25 to drive the rotating shaft 21, the conveyor belt 22, the pulley 23 and the belt 24 to rotate, thereby causing the conveyor belt 22 to move the pastry.
[0034] When the pastry is moved below the cutting shell 41, the operator turns off the motor 25 and starts the cylinder 32. The cylinder 32 then pushes the cutting shell 41 down to emboss and cut the pastry. At the same time, the embossing and cutting support plate 13 provides support for the pastry to ensure that the pastry can be completely embossed and cut, avoiding problems such as embossing pattern deviation, blurring, or cutting size deviation. When the cylinder 32 pushes the cutting shell 41 down, the guide rod 33 prevents the cutting shell 41 from shaking.
[0035] Example 2, based on Example 1, makes it easier for the pastry to fall out of the cutting shell 41.
[0036] Specifically, to make it easier for the pastry to be separated from the shell 41, such as... Figure 6 As shown, in this scheme, the embossing and slitting assembly 4 includes a slitting shell 41, which is installed at the output end of the cylinder 32. Several springs 42 are installed on the top wall of the inner cavity of the slitting shell 41, and embossing plates 43 are installed at the lower ends of the springs 42.
[0037] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 5 The adjustment assembly 5 includes a fixed plate 51. Both fixed plates 51 are mounted on the upper end of the base 11. A rotating disk 52 is mounted on the front end of the fixed plate 51. A bidirectional threaded rod 53 is mounted on the right end of the rotating disk 52 via a shaft. The two adjustment plates 55 are fixedly connected to each other at their close ends by a guide rod 54. The outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 53 and the outer surface of the adjustment plate 55 are slidably connected to the two adjustment plates 55.
[0038] For further details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 5 The front and rear ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 53 are rotatably connected to the ends of the two fixed plates 51 that are close to each other.
[0039] When implementing this solution, before embossing and cutting, the operator also needs to rotate the rotating disk 52 according to the size of the cutting shell 41 to make the bidirectional threaded rod 53 rotate so that the adjusting plate 55 slides on the guide rod 54, thereby making the channel of the adjusting plate 55 the same as the size of the cutting shell 41, so as to make the pastry move in a precise position and avoid the pastry changing position during movement or the large amount of waste caused by the operator placing the pastry in an incorrect position.
[0040] Furthermore, after the embossing and cutting are completed, the spring 42 will stretch, which will cause the embossing plate 43 to push the pastry to move, thus preventing the pastry from sticking to the cutting shell 41 due to stickiness, which would cause the machine to need to be stopped for cleaning.
[0041] The cutting shell 41 of this device is detachable, and the operator can change the size of the cutting shell 41 according to the actual situation. The adjustment component 5 can adjust the channel of the adjustment plate 55 according to the different sizes of the cutting shell 41. At the same time, the height of the pastry cannot be higher than the height of the bidirectional threaded rod 53 and the guide rod 54.
[0042] In summary, the implementation process of this utility model is as follows:
[0043] The operator first places the pastry on the surface of the conveyor belt 22, and then the operator starts the motor 25 to drive the rotating shaft 21, the conveyor belt 22, the pulley 23 and the belt 24 to rotate, thereby causing the conveyor belt 22 to move the pastry.
[0044] When the pastry is moved below the cutting shell 41, the operator turns off the motor 25 and starts the cylinder 32. The cylinder 32 then pushes the cutting shell 41 down to emboss and cut the pastry. At the same time, the embossing and cutting support plate 13 provides support for the pastry to ensure that the pastry can be completely embossed and cut, avoiding problems such as embossing pattern deviation, blurring, or cutting size deviation. When the cylinder 32 pushes the cutting shell 41 down, the guide rod 33 prevents the cutting shell 41 from shaking.
[0045] Before embossing and cutting, the operator also needs to rotate the rotating disk 52 according to the size of the cutting shell 41 to make the bidirectional threaded rod 53 rotate so that the adjusting plate 55 slides on the guide rod 54, thereby making the channel of the adjusting plate 55 the same as the size of the cutting shell 41, so that the pastry is moved in a precise position and avoids the pastry changing position during movement or the large amount of waste caused by the operator placing the pastry in the wrong position.
[0046] Furthermore, after the embossing and cutting are completed, the spring 42 will stretch, which will cause the embossing plate 43 to push the pastry to move, thus preventing the pastry from sticking to the cutting shell 41 due to its stickiness, which would cause the machine to need to be stopped for cleaning.
[0047] It should be noted that the specific installation methods, circuit connection methods, and control methods of the motor 25, cylinder 32, etc. used in this utility model are all conventional designs, and will not be described in detail in this utility model.
