[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Identical parts are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "bottom surface," "top surface," "inner," and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific part, respectively.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a clamping mechanism for a cylindrical food item during movement includes two downward pressing legs 1, each with a downward pressing bracket 2. An upper lateral moving assembly is located at the top of each downward pressing bracket 2, and a lower lateral moving assembly is located on one side of each. Both the upper and lower lateral moving assemblies have a downward pressing mounting plate 3. A first driving assembly is located on the downward pressing mounting plate 3 of the upper lateral moving assembly, and a second driving assembly is located on the downward pressing mounting plate 3 of the lower lateral moving assembly. Both the first and second driving assemblies have downward pressing components. Downward pressing connecting plates 4 are bolted to both sides of the two downward pressing mounting plates 3. A third driving mechanism for driving the displacement of the downward pressing mounting plates 3 is located on both the top and bottom downward pressing connecting plates 4. The third driving mechanism includes a transverse sliding plate, a pressure plate seat, and a driving assembly. The transverse sliding plate is connected to the downward pressing connecting plates 4 at both ends, and a slide rail slider is located at the bottom. The pressure plate seat drives the transverse sliding plate to move horizontally via a synchronous belt transmission mechanism.

[0027] The lower support leg 1 provides support for the lower support bracket 2. This device works in conjunction with a conveyor belt equipped with a mold. The material is continuously transported to the working area of ​​the lower support device via the conveyor belt. The third drive mechanism (not shown in the figure) on the upper and lower lateral movement components is activated. The third drive mechanism (not shown in the figure) is a transverse sliding plate connecting two lower support plates 4. A pressure plate seat is provided at the bottom of the transverse sliding plate. The pressure plate seat is driven by a synchronous belt, a synchronous pulley, and a motor. Correspondingly, a slide rail and a slider are also provided at the bottom of the transverse sliding plate to guide the displacement of the transverse sliding plate. The third drive mechanism (not shown in the figure) drives the lower support brackets connected to the upper and lower lateral movement components respectively. Plate 3 moves horizontally. The first drive component on the upper transverse component is activated, pushing the connected pressing component downward to apply pressure to the upper part of the material, performing the upper pressing operation. The second drive component on the lower transverse component is activated, pushing the connected pressing component downward to apply pressure to the lower part of the material, performing the lower pressing operation. After the upper and lower pressing operations are completed, the first and second drive components respectively drive their respective pressing components to reset. The material continues to move with the conveyor belt, leaving the working area of ​​the pressing device and entering the next process. At the same time, new material is transported to the pressing area, and the above process is repeated to achieve continuous material pressing.

[0028] Both sides of the lower support bracket 2 are fixed to the lower support leg 1 by mounting columns 5 bolts; the mounting columns 5 can evenly transmit the force on the lower support bracket 2 to the lower support leg 1, and connect the lower support bracket 2 and the lower support leg 1 into a tighter whole, thereby improving the rigidity of the entire structure.

[0029] The upper transverse component includes two upper press-fit crossbars 6, each of which is slidably connected to several upper slide tables 7. The upper slide tables 7 are bolted to the lower press-fit mounting plate 3. Both ends of the two upper press-fit crossbars are bolted to upper crossbar mounting plates 8, and the two upper crossbar mounting plates 8 are respectively bolted to a lower press bracket 2.

[0030] The lower pressure connecting plate 4 is connected to the lower pressure mounting plate 3 and the third drive mechanism at both ends, so that the third drive mechanism can drive the lower pressure mounting plate 3 to make corresponding linear displacement along the upper slide table 7 in the sliding direction of the upper pressure mounting crossbar 6. The lower pressure mounting plate 3 can drive the lower pressure assembly to make corresponding displacement and reach above the material, which is convenient for fixing the material. The upper crossbar mounting plate 8 provides support for the whole and establishes a connection with the lower pressure bracket 2 to form a relatively stable whole.

[0031] The lower transverse component includes a lower pressing crossbar 9, on which several lower sliding platforms 10 are slidably connected. The lower sliding platforms 10 are bolted to the lower pressing mounting plate 3 via sliding platform connecting plates 11. Both ends of the two lower pressing crossbars 9 are bolted to lower crossbar mounting plates 12, and the two lower crossbar mounting plates 12 are respectively bolted to a lower pressing bracket 2.

[0032] The third drive mechanism is the power source, driving the lower slide table 10 to slide along the lower pressure mounting bar 9 to the designated position. During the sliding process, the lower slide table 10 drives the lower pressure mounting plate 3 to move together through the slide table connecting plate 11, thereby realizing the movement of the entire lower horizontal moving component structure, reaching above the material, which facilitates the fixing operation of the material.

[0033] The first drive assembly includes a first synchronous belt 13, around which a first driving pulley 14 and a first driven pulley 15 are wound. The first driving pulley 14 and the first driven pulley 15 are rotatably connected to the surface of the pressing mounting plate 3. The first driving pulley 14 and the first driven pulley 15 are both rotatably connected to a first pressing screw 16. A first pressing power block 17 is provided on the first pressing screw 16. The first pressing power block 17 is bolted to the pressing assembly. The first driving pulley 14 is driven by a first drive motor 18. The first drive motor 18 is fixed to the pressing mounting plate 3 by upper motor seat bolts.

[0034] The first driving pulley 14 and the first driven pulley 15 are rotatably connected to the surface of the lower mounting plate 3 via bearings. The upper motor seat provides support for the first drive motor 18, which is the power source. The first drive motor 18 transmits power to the first driving pulley 14 through its output shaft. The first driving pulley 14 transmits power to the first synchronous belt 13 and the first driven pulley 15. The rotation of the first driving pulley 14 and the first driven pulley 15 can drive the first lowering screw 16 to rotate accordingly. The rotation of the first lowering screw 16 can drive the first lowering power block 17 to rise and fall accordingly. The rising and falling of the first lowering power block 17 can drive the lowering assembly to perform a corresponding lowering operation on the material on the conveyor belt.

[0035] The second drive assembly includes a second synchronous belt 19, around which a second driving pulley 20 and a second driven pulley 21 are wound. The second driving pulley 20 and the second driven pulley 21 are rotatably connected to the surface of the pressing mounting plate 3. A second drive motor 22 is fixed to one side of the pressing mounting plate 3 by a lower motor seat bolt. The second drive motor 22 is driven and connected to the second synchronous belt 19 through a motor pulley 23. The second driving pulley 20 and the second driven pulley 21 are both rotatably connected to a second pressing screw 24. A second pressing power block 25 is provided on the second pressing screw 24. The second pressing power block 25 is bolted to the pressing assembly.

[0036] The second driving pulley 20 and the second driven pulley 21 are both rotatably connected to the surface of the lower pressure mounting plate 3 via bearings. The second drive motor 22 is the power source, and the synchronous belt moves accordingly through the motor pulley 23 on its output shaft. The movement of the synchronous belt can drive the second driving pulley 20 and the second driven pulley 21 to rotate accordingly. The rotation of the second driving pulley 20 and the second driven pulley 21 can drive the second lower pressure screw 24 to rotate accordingly. The rotation of the second lower pressure screw 24 can drive the second lower pressure power block 25 to rise and fall accordingly. The rising and falling of the second lower pressure power block 25 can drive the lower pressure assembly to perform a corresponding lower pressure operation on the material on the conveyor belt.

[0037] The pressing assembly includes a base plate 26 bolted to the first pressing power block 17 or the second pressing power block 25, and a plurality of pressing blocks 27 are bolted to the bottom of the base plate 26.

[0038] The base plate 26 establishes a connection between the pressure block 27 and the first pressing power block 17 or the second pressing power block 25. The first pressing power block 17 and the second pressing power block 25 can drive the corresponding pressure block 27 to descend and complete the pressing operation on the material. Multiple pressure blocks 27 can be installed through the base plate 26, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.

[0039] Each of the two top and bottom pressure connecting plates 4 is bolted with a separation mounting plate 28, and a separation rod 29 is provided on the two separation mounting plates 28.

[0040] The separation mounting plate 28 provides corresponding support for the installation of the separation rod 29, and allows the separation rod 29 to be set according to the length of the substrate 26 and the number of pressure blocks 27. The length of the separation rod 29 is greater than that of the substrate 26, so that after the pressure block 27 performs a pressing operation on the material, the first pressing power block 17 or the second pressing power block 25 drives the substrate 26 to reset, and the separation rod 29 can separate the material adhered to the pressure plate.

[0041] Two limiting plates 30 are bolted to one side of the lower pressure bracket 2. The two limiting plates 30 are located on the side of the pressure block 27 corresponding to the upper transverse component and the pressure block 27 corresponding to the lower transverse component, respectively. During the material transportation process and during the pressing of the pressure plate on the material, the limiting plates 30 can limit the material to prevent it from falling off the device and causing material waste.

[0042] Working principle: The material is continuously conveyed to the working area of ​​the fixed device via the conveyor belt. The third drive mechanism (not shown in the figure) is activated, driving the upper slide 7 and the lower slide 10 to slide along the upper pressing crossbar 6 and the lower pressing crossbar 9 to the designated positions, so that the corresponding pressing mounting plate 3 reaches above the material. The first drive motor 18 is activated, driving the first pressing power block 17 to descend. At the same time, the second drive motor 22 is activated, driving the second pressing power block 25 to descend. The corresponding pressing block 27 performs a pressing operation on the material. After the pressing operation is completed, the first drive motor 18 and the second drive motor 22 respectively drive the first pressing power block 17 and the second pressing power block 25 to reset. The material continues to move with the conveyor belt, leaving the working area of ​​the fixed device and entering the next process. At the same time, new material is conveyed to the fixed area, and the above process is repeated to realize continuous material pressing operation.
