Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing, and more specifically, to a pressing mechanism of a pastry pressing and forming equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Pastry pressing is a common production process in the food processing industry. Its purpose is to press loose pastry raw materials or semi-finished products into regular-shaped, uniformly dense block products through mechanical pressure, so as to facilitate subsequent packaging, transportation and sales. In order to realize the automation and mass production of this process, special pastry pressing equipment has emerged. Its core component is the pressing mechanism, the performance of which directly determines the efficiency and quality of pastry forming and the level of automation of the entire production line.

[0003] However, existing pastry pressing mechanisms use a single pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder for drive. While these provide sufficient pressure, they are prone to impact and vibration during high-speed reciprocating motion, leading to uneven pressure application and affecting the stability and consistency of pastry forming. Furthermore, pressing, feeding, and discharging processes are often separate, requiring multiple independent power units and complex control systems to work together. This not only results in complex equipment structures and high manufacturing costs but also a relatively high failure rate and insufficient automation, severely hindering further improvements in production efficiency and increasing operating costs for enterprises. Therefore, we propose a pressing mechanism for a pastry pressing equipment to address the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] 1. Technical problems to be solved To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pressing mechanism for a pastry pressing and forming device. This mechanism utilizes a linear array of elliptical drive wheels driven by a motor. When the long shaft end of the drive wheel presses downwards into the limiting groove of the pressing block, it provides strong and stable downward pressure, ensuring uniform force on the pastry raw materials and consistent forming results. This avoids the impact and uneven pressure problems that may occur with traditional eccentric wheel or cam mechanisms. As the drive wheel rotates to the short shaft end, the pressure is released, and the return spring smoothly pulls the pressing block back to its original position. The entire process is smooth and continuous, ensuring the continuity of pressing and the stability of product quality.

[0005] 2. Technical Solution To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] A pressing mechanism for a pastry pressing and forming equipment includes an operating table. The surface of the operating table is provided with a pressing groove, and the front end of the operating table is provided with a pushing groove. Support frames are fixedly connected to both sides of the operating table, and pressing mechanisms are movably connected to the opposite sides of the support frames. Two sets of symmetrical sliding rods are fixedly connected to the top of the operating table, and the four corners of the pressing mechanism are slidably connected to the sliding rods. A linkage pushing mechanism is fixedly connected to the rear end of the pressing mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes a drive motor, which is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the support frames. The output end of the drive motor passes through the support frame and is fixedly connected to a transmission shaft. The other end of the transmission shaft is movably connected to the inside of another support frame via a bearing. Several drive wheels are fixedly connected in a linear array on the outside of the transmission shaft, and the drive wheels are arranged in an elliptical shape.

[0008] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism also includes a pressing block, which is located directly above the pressing groove. The four corners of the pressing block are slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod. A return spring is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod, and the bottom end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressing block. The top end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the top end of the slide rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the surface of the pressing block is fixedly connected with several limiting grooves, which are located directly below the drive wheel and are adapted to the thickness of the drive wheel.

[0010] Furthermore, the linkage pushing mechanism includes a placement platform, which is located directly above the pressing groove and is adapted to the pressing groove. A set of symmetrical compression springs is fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement platform, and the bottom end of the compression springs is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressing groove. A set of symmetrical pull ropes is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressing groove, and the compression springs are sleeved on the outside of the pull ropes.

[0011] Furthermore, the linkage pushing mechanism also includes two connecting frames, which are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the rear top of the operating table, and a set of symmetrical guide wheels are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frames.

[0012] Furthermore, a set of symmetrical track grooves are fixedly connected to the rear side of the operating table, and the track grooves are respectively connected to the same cross section as the connecting frame. The end of the pull rope away from the placement table passes through the operating table, the track groove and the hub of the guide wheel in sequence and is fixedly connected to the top surface of the pressing block.

[0013] 3. Beneficial effects Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are: (1) In this scheme, the linear array elliptical drive wheel driven by the drive motor provides strong and stable downward pressure when the long shaft end of the drive wheel presses down into the limiting groove of the pressing block, ensuring that the pastry raw materials are subjected to uniform force and consistent molding effect, avoiding the impact and uneven pressure problems that may be generated by traditional eccentric wheel or cam mechanism. As the drive wheel rotates to the short shaft end, the pressure is released, and the reset spring smoothly pulls the pressing block back to its original position. The whole process is smooth and ensures the continuity of pressing and the stability of product quality. (2) In this scheme, during the downward movement of the pressing block, the placement platform is pulled down synchronously through the precise transmission of the pull rope, guide wheel and track groove, so that the pastry mold can be accurately put into the pressing groove for pressing. When the pressing is completed and the pressing block moves up and resets, the pull rope is relaxed and the placement platform automatically rises under the action of the spring force of the compression spring, and the formed pastry is smoothly pushed out of the pressing groove. Thus, the feeding, pressing and discharging processes are seamlessly connected without the need for an additional power source and control unit, which greatly simplifies the equipment structure and improves the degree of automation and efficiency of production.

[0016] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0017] Example 1: Please see Figure 1 - Figure 4 A pressing mechanism for a pastry pressing and forming equipment includes an operating table 1. The surface of the operating table 1 is provided with a pressing groove 2, and the front end of the operating table 1 is provided with a pushing groove 3. Support frames 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the operating table 1, and pressing mechanisms 5 are movably connected to the opposite sides of the support frames 4. Two sets of symmetrical sliding rods 6 are fixedly connected to the top of the operating table 1, and the four corners of the pressing mechanism 5 are slidably connected to the sliding rods 6. A linkage pushing mechanism 7 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the pressing mechanism 5.

[0018] Example 2: In view of the above embodiment 1, further description is provided, see reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The pressing mechanism 5 includes a drive motor 501, which is fixedly connected to the outside of one of the support frames 4. The output end of the drive motor 501 passes through the support frame 4 and is fixedly connected to a transmission shaft 502. The other end of the transmission shaft 502 is movably connected to the inside of another support frame 4 via a bearing. Several drive wheels 503 are fixedly connected in a linear array on the outside of the transmission shaft 502, and the drive wheels 503 are elliptical in shape. The pressing mechanism 5 also includes a pressing block 504, which is located directly above the pressing groove 2. The four corners of the pressing block 504 are slidably connected to the outside of the slide rod 6. A return spring 505 is sleeved on the outside of each slide rod 6. The bottom end of the return spring 505 is fixedly connected to the surface of the pressing block 504, and the top end of the return spring 505 is fixedly connected to the top end of the slide rod 6. Several limiting grooves 506 are fixedly connected to the surface of the pressing block 504. The limiting grooves 506 are located directly below the drive wheels 503, and the thickness of the limiting grooves 506 is adapted to the thickness of the drive wheels 503.

[0019] When the drive motor 501 drives the transmission shaft 502 to rotate, the elliptical drive wheels 503 of the linear array also rotate synchronously. When the long shaft end of the drive wheel 503 rotates downward and embeds into the corresponding limiting groove 506 on the pressing block 504, it will push the pressing block 504 to overcome the elastic force of the return spring 505 and move downward along the slide rod 6, applying strong and stable pressure to the pastry raw materials placed in the pressing groove 2. As the drive wheel 503 continues to rotate, its short shaft end turns downward, and the pressure on the pressing block 504 is released. At this time, the compressed return spring 505 releases the stored elastic potential energy and pulls the pressing block 504 upward along the slide rod 6 to reset, thus completing a complete working cycle from pressing down to rebound, ensuring the continuity of the pressing process and the uniformity of the applied pressure.

[0020] Example 3: In view of the above embodiments 1 and 2, further description is provided, please refer to... Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The linkage pushing mechanism 7 includes a placement platform 701, which is located directly above the pressing groove 2 and is adapted to the pressing groove 2. A set of symmetrical compression springs 702 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the placement platform 701, and the bottom end of the compression springs 702 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressing groove 2. A set of symmetrical pull ropes 703 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the pressing groove 2, and the compression springs 702 are sleeved on the outside of the pull ropes 703. The linkage pushing mechanism 7 also includes two connecting frames 704, which are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top rear side of the operating table 1. A set of symmetrical guide wheels 705 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frames 704. A set of symmetrical track grooves 706 are fixedly connected to the rear side of the operating table 1, and the track grooves 706 are respectively connected to the same cross section as the connecting frames 704. The end of the pull rope 703 away from the placement platform 701 passes through the hub of the operating table 1, the track groove 706 and the guide wheel 705 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the top surface of the pressing block 504.

[0021] When the pressing block 504 is pressed down, it pulls down the pull rope 703 fixed on its top surface. The pull rope 703 is guided by the steering of the guide wheel 705 and the track groove 706, and transmits the downward pulling force to the placement platform 701, so that it overcomes the elastic force of the compression spring 702 and descends, thereby sending the pastry mold into the pressing groove 2 for pressing. When the pressing block 504 moves up and resets, the pull rope 703 relaxes, and the compressed compression spring 702 releases its elastic force, pushing the placement platform 701 to automatically rise and reset, and smoothly pushing the pressed pastry out of the pressing groove 2. In this way, the power of the pressing process is utilized, and the automated continuous operation of feeding, pressing and discharging is realized without additional energy.

[0022] Based on the above embodiments 1, 2 and 3, the working principle is further described; in use, the pastry mold containing the raw materials is placed on the surface of the placement platform 701, and then the drive motor 501 is started, which drives the transmission shaft 502 to drive the elliptical drive wheel 503 to rotate. When the long shaft end of the drive wheel 503 rotates to the bottom, it will press down into the limiting groove 506 on the surface of the pressing block 504, thereby pushing the pressing block 504 to slide down along the slide rod 6. At the same time, the pressing block 504 pulls the return spring 505 to deform and extend. Then, the pressing block 504 moves down and presses the pastry raw materials placed in the pressing groove 2 to form the shape. As the drive wheel 503 continues to rotate, its short shaft end turns downward, releasing the pressure on the pressing block 504. At this time, under the restoring force of the return spring 505, the pressing block 504 slides upward along the slide rod 6 to reset, completing one pressing cycle. During the downward movement of the pressing block 504, the pull rope 703 is pulled downward, turns through the guide wheel 705, and passes through the track groove 706, causing the other end of the pull rope 703 to pull the placement platform 701 downward, causing the placement platform 701 to move downward against the force of the compression spring 702, thereby causing the pastry mold to move into the pressing groove 2 for pressing and forming. When the pressing block 504 moves upward, the pull rope 703 is released, and the placement platform 701 rises again to reset under the action of the compression spring 702, pushing the pressed pastry out of the pressing groove 2, and then sliding out through the pushing groove 3.

[0023] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
