Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of food forming technology, specifically relating to a forming device suitable for food and medicine homology products. Background Technology

[0002] Food forming refers to the process of using mechanical or manual methods to form pre-mixed, usually semi-liquid or plastic food materials into units of predetermined shapes and specifications through methods such as extrusion, cutting, molding, and casting. It is an important link between food raw material pretreatment and final cooking and packaging.

[0003] Patent (CN220654655U) discloses a food processing and forming device, including a base. A first cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the base. A first push rod is fixedly connected to one end of the first cylinder. A rectangular frame is fixedly connected to one end of the first push rod. Limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the rectangular frame. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod. A second cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the mounting plate. A second push rod is fixedly connected to one side of the second cylinder. A movable plate is fixedly connected to the top of the second push rod. Guide blocks are fixedly connected to the surface of the movable plate.

[0004] Its advantages lie in the fact that by opening the second cylinder, the second push rod drives the rectangular block on the surface of the movable plate to rise in the rectangular groove, pushing out the extruded sugar cube, which facilitates demolding and improves the production efficiency of the device. However, it also has the following disadvantages: during the molding process, on the one hand, some raw materials will stick to the rectangular block on the surface of the movable plate, making the lower surface of the subsequently molded food uneven and affecting the molding effect; on the other hand, the movable plate and its rectangular block are exposed to the air, and impurities and bacteria will come into contact with the raw materials, thereby affecting food hygiene and safety. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a molding device suitable for food and medicine homology products, so as to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the raw materials adhere to the upper surface of the rectangular block and affect the subsequent molding effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A molding device suitable for food and medicine homology products includes a reaction frame and a molding mechanism located inside the reaction frame. The molding mechanism includes a template with multiple molding holes evenly distributed on the template. A pressure plate is located directly above the template and is connected to the top plate of the reaction frame via a first cylinder. The first cylinder is used to raise and lower the pressure plate. A pressure block matching the molding holes is provided on the lower surface of the pressure plate. A support plate is located below the template, and a second cylinder is located directly below the support plate. A support block matching the molding holes is located above the support plate, and the support block is fixedly connected to the support plate via a connecting column. A slag removal component is located below the template. The slag removal component includes a cover fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the template. An air collecting channel is provided on one inner wall of the cover. Multiple air outlets are distributed on the side of the air collecting channel facing the support plate. The air collecting channel is connected to a blower.

[0008] Furthermore, a baffle plate is provided at the middle position of the air converging channel in the width direction. The two ends of the baffle plate are fixedly connected to the air converging channel. The air force generated by the blower flows through the upper and lower sides of the baffle plate, making the air force more uniform.

[0009] Furthermore, the sides of the cover are flush with the sides of the template, the inside of the cover is hollow with an opening at the top, and multiple slag holes are evenly distributed on the bottom plate of the cover.

[0010] Furthermore, the apex corners of the forming holes are rounded.

[0011] Furthermore, the template and the reaction frame are fixedly connected by crossbars.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, after completing the molding process, the support block is lowered below the template, and then the blower is started to remove the residue on the upper surface of the support block by air force. The residue falls off through the slag discharge hole, which effectively prevents some food raw materials from falling and adhering to the upper surface of the support block and affecting subsequent molding.

[0023] Example 1, specifically as follows Figures 1-6 As shown.

[0024] A molding apparatus suitable for products that are both food and medicine includes a reaction frame 1 and a molding mechanism 2 located inside the reaction frame 1.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the molding mechanism 2 includes a rectangular template 201. The template 201 is fixedly connected to the reaction frame 1 by a crossbar. Multiple molding holes 202 are evenly distributed on the template 201. The molding holes 202 with rectangular cross sections penetrate the template 201 vertically. The top corners of the molding holes 202 are rounded, which not only avoids stress concentration but also facilitates subsequent demolding.

[0026] A pressure plate 203 is positioned directly above the template 201. The pressure plate 203 is connected to the top plate of the reaction frame 1 via a first cylinder 205, which controls the raising and lowering of the pressure plate 203. Specifically, the fixed end of the first cylinder 205 is bolted to the top plate of the reaction frame 1, and the free end of the piston rod of the first cylinder 205 is welded to the upper surface of the pressure plate 203. A pressure block 204, matching the forming hole 202, is provided on the lower surface of the pressure plate 203. The pressure block 204 corresponds one-to-one with the forming hole 202 and is integrally formed with the pressure plate 203. Driven by the first cylinder 205, the pressure block 204 can enter the forming hole 202 from top to bottom.

[0027] A support plate 206 is positioned directly below the template 201. A second cylinder 209 is located directly below the support plate 206, which pushes the support plate 206 to move vertically. Specifically, the bottom of the second cylinder 209 is fixedly connected to the ground with bolts, and the free end of the piston rod of the second cylinder 209 is welded to the lower surface of the support plate 206. Above the support plate 206 are support blocks 207 that match the forming holes 202. Each support block 207 corresponds one-to-one with a forming hole 202, and the support blocks 207 and the support plate 206 are fixedly connected by vertical connecting posts 208. Driven by the second cylinder 209, the support blocks 207 can enter the forming holes 202 from bottom to top.

[0028] In use, the second cylinder 209 first drives the support block 207 into the molding hole 202 and stabilizes it at a certain height. The support block 207 blocks the molding hole 202, and the food raw material is poured into the molding hole 202 from the top opening. Then, the first cylinder 205 drives the pressing block 204 to press down, extruding the food raw material in the molding hole 202 into shape. Finally, the first cylinder 205 drives the pressing block 204 to rise above the molding hole 202, and the second cylinder 209 drives the support block 207 to continue to move upward, pushing the formed food out of the molding hole 202, thus achieving demolding.

[0029] In actual production, some food ingredients inevitably fall off and adhere to the upper surface of the support block 207, affecting subsequent molding. To address this, in this embodiment, a slag removal component 3 is provided below the template 201.

[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the slag removal assembly 3 includes a cover 301 fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the template 201. The side of the cover 301 is flush with the side of the template 201. The cover 301 is hollow inside with an open top. Multiple slag discharge holes 302 are evenly distributed on the bottom plate of the cover 301. The slag removal assembly 3 also includes an air collecting channel 303 fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the cover 301. In this embodiment, the air collecting channel 303 is located on one side of the width direction of the cover 301. The air collecting channel 303 is located at the top of the cover 301, and multiple air outlet holes 304 are evenly distributed on the side of the air collecting channel 303 facing the support plate 206.

[0031] The air duct 303 is connected to a blower 306, which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cover 301. Airflow is input into the air duct 303 via the blower 306 and then discharged through the air outlet 304. A baffle plate 305 is located at the middle of the width of the air duct 303. Both ends of the baffle plate 305 are fixedly connected to the air duct 303. The airflow generated by the blower 306 flows over the upper and lower sides of the baffle plate 305, making the airflow more uniform. After one molding process is completed, the support block 207 is lowered below the template 201, and then the blower 306 is activated to remove residue from the upper surface of the support block 207. The residue falls through the slag discharge hole 302.

[0032] Food products typically require heating before molding to improve their fluidity and plasticity. After molding, they still maintain a relatively high temperature. To further improve the smoothness of demolding, a cooling component 4 is connected inside the mold 201 in this embodiment.

[0033] The cooling assembly 4 includes a water passage 401 formed within the template 201. Notably, the water passage 401 is continuously bent, weaving between adjacent forming holes 202, and both ends of the water passage 401 are connected to the external environment. One end of the water passage 401 is connected to an inlet pipe 402, and the other end is connected to an outlet pipe 403. A water tank 404 is located below the template 201, in contact with the ground. Both the inlet pipe 402 and the outlet pipe 403 are connected to the water tank 404. The top of the water tank 404 is open, and a cooling fan (not shown in the figure) is installed on its side wall.

[0034] The water flowing through the water channel 401 carries away some heat and enters the water tank 404 through the water outlet pipe 403. The water tank 404 dissipates heat and cools the water. Finally, under the action of the submersible pump, the water enters the water channel 401 through the water inlet pipe 402. This cycle continues, cooling the molded food in the molding hole 202, causing the molded food to shrink in volume, which is beneficial for demolding.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to it in form and detail without departing from the scope defined by the claims of this utility model.
