Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mooncake production, and in particular to an embossing device for mooncake production. Background Technology

[0002] Mooncakes, also known as moon cakes, small cakes, harvest cakes, reunion cakes, etc., are one of China's traditional delicacies. Mooncakes have been integrated with the dietary customs of various regions, and have developed into Cantonese, Shanxi, Beijing, Suzhou, Chaozhou, Yunnan and other styles of mooncakes. Mooncakes symbolize reunion, and people regard them as festival food, using them to worship the moon and give them as gifts to relatives and friends.

[0003] However, during the production process, molds are usually needed for shaping and embossing. In the existing technology, a small amount of excess scrap material is usually generated during the shaping and embossing process. This excess scrap material often sticks to the edge of the mold and cannot be removed. It may even affect the shaping and embossing of the next mooncake, resulting in defective products and affecting the quality of the mooncake. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a mooncake embossing device that at least solves any of the aforementioned technical problems.

[0005] A further objective of this invention is to prevent excess scrap material from sticking to the edge of the mold.

[0006] Another further objective of this invention is to improve the product yield.

[0007] In particular, this utility model provides an embossing device for mooncake production, comprising a main body, one side of which has a groove; A conveyor belt that passes through a recessed portion of the body; A hydraulic rod, the lower part of which is provided with an embossing mold, and the upper side of the mold is provided with an air pump pipe.

[0008] Furthermore, the mold includes: The outer casing has a printing chamber and an air outlet chamber with an opening facing downwards, and an air outlet channel is provided between the printing chamber and the air outlet chamber for communication. A piston plate is disposed inside the printing cavity, and a connecting channel is provided on the upper part of the piston plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the piston plate is greater than the opening connecting the air outlet channel and the printing chamber.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner wall of the printing cavity is provided with a limiting groove, and the piston plate is disposed in the upper part of the limiting groove.

[0011] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: This invention features a printing chamber and an air outlet chamber within the housing. The air outlet chamber is located outside the printing chamber and is connected to the printing chamber via an air outlet channel. During use, a hydraulic rod pushes the mold downwards. When it contacts the mooncake dough on the conveyor belt, the piston plate moves upwards under pressure. As the hydraulic rod moves upwards, the air pump pipe injects compressed gas into the printing chamber, increasing the pressure and thus pushing the piston plate and the printed mooncake material downwards. During the printing and extrusion of the dough in the mold, the dough at the edge is pressurized and enters the air outlet chamber. When the piston plate reaches the limiting groove, the connecting channel and the air outlet channel connect, allowing the gas in the printing chamber to be discharged into the air outlet chamber. This also discharges excess dough from the air outlet chamber, preventing residual material from affecting the printing of the next batch of dough. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0018] Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a front view structural diagram of the present utility model. Figure 3 This utility model Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure along the AA direction. Figure 4 This utility model Figure 3 A magnified schematic diagram of the structure of C.

[0019] This embodiment provides a mooncake embossing device, including a main body 1, a conveyor belt 2, and a hydraulic rod 5. One side of the main body 1 has an inward-facing groove, and a control panel 3 is provided on the upper part of the groove. The control panel 3 controls the pressing rod at the lower part of the main body 1 to press the mooncake dough. The conveyor belt 2 passes through the groove of the main body 1. The lower part of the hydraulic rod 5 is provided with an embossing mold 6. The hydraulic rod 5 controls the mold 6 to move up and down, thereby pressing the mooncake dough moving on the upper part of the conveyor belt 2. An air pump pipe 4 is provided on the upper side of the mold 6. The air pump pipe 4 is used to inflate the mold 6 with air to facilitate the demolding of the embossed dough.

[0020] It needs to be further explained that, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mold 6 includes a housing 601 and a piston plate 7. The housing 601 has a downward-opening printing cavity 604 and an air outlet cavity 603. An air outlet channel 602 is provided between the printing cavity 604 and the air outlet cavity 603 for communication. The piston plate 7 is disposed in the printing cavity 604, and a connecting channel 701 is provided on the upper part of the piston plate 7. When the gas in the air pump pipe 4 pushes the printed mooncake clay, it can cut off the excess clay. At the same time as pushing out the mooncake, the clay that has been cut off and squeezed into the air outlet cavity 603 is sprayed out, and the pressure of the printing cavity 604 is released.

[0021] It should be further noted that the thickness of the piston plate 7 is higher than the opening connecting the air outlet channel 602 and the printing cavity 604, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet channel 602 and the connecting channel 701 are connected and aligned.

[0022] It should be further explained that the inner wall of the printing cavity 604 is provided with a limiting groove 605, and the piston plate 7 is disposed in the upper part of the limiting groove 605. The limiting groove 605 is used to restrict the movement of the piston plate 7 and prevent it from falling off the printing cavity 604. It should be noted that the upper part of the mold 6 has a threaded disassembly structure, which facilitates the replacement of the piston plate 7. This disassembly mechanism is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0023] Working principle of this utility model: In use, a printing chamber 604 and an air outlet chamber 603 are provided within the housing. The air outlet chamber 603 is located outside the printing chamber 604, and the air outlet chamber 603 and the printing chamber 604 are connected by an air outlet channel 602. During use, the hydraulic rod 5 pushes the mold 6 downwards. When it contacts the mooncake dough on the conveyor belt 2, the piston plate 7 is forced upwards. As the hydraulic rod 5 moves upwards, the air pump pipe 4 pumps compressed gas into the printing chamber 604, increasing the pressure within the printing chamber 604. The piston plate 7 and the mooncake material being printed are pushed downwards. When the mold 6 is pressing the printing clay, the clay at the edge will be pressured into the air outlet 603. When the piston plate 7 reaches the limiting groove 605, the connecting channel 701 and the air outlet channel 602 are connected. After the piston plate 7 reaches the limiting groove 605, the gas in the printing cavity 604 is discharged into the air outlet 603 through the connecting channel 701 and the limiting groove 605. At the same time, the excess clay in the air outlet 603 is discharged to avoid residual material, which would affect the printing of the next batch of clay.

[0024] 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
