The device for forming semi-finished products from food mass includes a cylindrical body, inside which a round plate with slots and a hole in the form of a boss in the center is fixed, into which a piston rod is inserted, on one side of which a handle is fixed, and on the other, a pusher whose diameter is equal to the diameter of the inner surface of the cylinder, containing many slots.

Description

The utility model relates to cooking, namely to devices that make it possible to form from food mass, for example, from meat, vegetable, fruit mince, curd mass, dough, etc., semi-finished products of the same washer-like shape (cutlets, cheese cakes, buns, etc.) etc.).

The following solutions are known from the prior art.

A device for forming products from food mass is known, including a cylindrical body, open on one side on the end surface of which there is a hole for installing a piston, on the rod of which a handle is fixed, while a spring is installed between the handle and the end surface of the body. The piston pusher is installed inside the housing with the possibility of reciprocating movements inside the housing (US patent No. 3120678, publication date: 02/11/1964).

Also known is a device for forming products from food mass, which contains a housing; a part of the inner space that is located inside the body and includes a mold space into which the cutlet is inserted; a pressing part that moves inside the inner space part to press the cutlet into a shape corresponding to the shape of the molding space; and a supporting part that is separated from the pressing part to support the underside of the patty (Korean patent No. 101430148, publication date: 08/13/2014).

The closest analogue of the device being patented is a device for forming products from food mass containing a cylinder with an open bottom, a piston located with the ability to slide for reciprocating movements inside the cylinder, and having a pusher protruding upward from the cylinder, means for guiding the reciprocating movements of the pusher , a hand-operated handle attached to the top of the pusher, resilient means that biases the piston upward (US Patent No. 4,057,874, published 11/15/1977).

The disadvantage of the known devices is that they do not take into account the formation of air bubbles when filling the mold with minced meat, which does not allow filling the mold with minced meat completely and getting even products of the same shape. In addition, a part of the minced meat remains on the solid surface of the pusher during molding, which can only be solved by additional lubrication of the mold with oil or coating the inner surface of the mold with cling film, which complicates the cooking process and excessive consumption of products.

The technical problem is to overcome the drawback of the prior art.

The task is solved by providing air channels through which the air formed when filling the cavity with minced meat is removed, as well as by avoiding adhesion of a part of the minced meat to the surface of the pusher.

The technical result of the patented solution lies in the optimal filling of the molding cavity of the device with food mass and ensuring complete unloading of the formed mass from the device with obtaining even semi-finished products of the same shape.

The claimed technical result is achieved due to the design of a device for the formation of semi-finished products from food mass, including a cylindrical body, inside which a round plate with slots and a hole in the form of a boss in the center is fixed, into which a piston rod is inserted, on one side of which a handle is fixed, and on the other - pusher, the diameter of which is equal to the diameter of the inner surface of the cylinder, containing many slots.

In the particular case of the implementation of the utility model, an annular flange is installed on one of the end sides of the cylinder.

In the particular case of the implementation of the utility model, the device is made of food grade plastic, for example, polypropylene or high density polyethylene.

In the particular case of the implementation of the utility model, the device is made of stainless steel.

The slots made in the piston pusher exclude the adhesion of part of the food mass during the molding of semi-finished products, which eliminates the need to lubricate the mold with oil or cover with a film. During the movement of the pusher from the position of unloading the formed semi-finished product to the position of filling, the molding cavity can be filled with air. During the filling of the cavities with the product, this air is released through the channels formed by the slots in the pusher and the holes in the plate fixed inside the cylinder. These features ensure complete and even filling of the molding cavity with food mass and its complete unloading using a pusher, due to which smooth semi-finished products of the same shape are obtained. In addition, the slits in the plate prevent the vacuum of air in the molding cavity when the pusher moves due to the flow of air through these slits.

The solution is further explained by referring to the figures, which show the following:

in FIG. 1 - General view of the cylinder;

Fig, 2 is a general view of the piston;

in FIG. 3 - view of the device in the position of loading food mass;

in FIG. 4 is a view of the device in the position of unloading the food mass.

A device for forming semi-finished products from food mass is made of food-grade plastic (polypropylene or high-density polyethylene) or metal (stainless steel or iron with an enamel coating) or glass or ceramics.

The device includes a cylindrical body 1, inside which is fixed a round plate 2 with slots 3 of various shapes at the edges and a hole in the form of a boss 4 in the center. The body can be made by injection molding or 3D printing. Plate 2 is fixed in a cylindrical body by soldering, welding, or made integral with the body in 3D printing. Similarly, the boss 4 can be made integrally with the plate 2, or soldered or welded to the plate. In part. A flange 5 can be made adjacent to the molding cavity of the cylindrical body from the end side, which is made either integrally with the body during casting, or soldered or welded to the body.

A piston rod 6 is inserted into the boss 4. The diameter of the piston is equal to the diameter of the inner surface of the boss, which allows the rod to move inside it in a reciprocating motion. On one side of the piston, a handle 9 is fixed, and on the other, a pusher 7, the diameter of which is equal to the diameter of the inner surface of the cylinder, which allows it to move inside the cylinder. The piston pusher contains a plurality of slots 8.

Implementation of the utility model.

The proposed utility model is used as follows (by the example of making minced meat cutlets). Install the piston in the body, fixing the handle on one side. The form is turned over with the handle down, the pusher 7 is installed close to the plate 2 with the formation of a molding cavity, which is filled with minced meat using a spatula and, by slightly pressing, the excess is removed. Turn the mold over and press the piston handle, squeezing out the finished cutlet. Cutlets are obtained in one shape, which allows them to be used, for example, for burgers. Thanks to the slotted piston pusher, the stuffing does not stick to it, so there is no need to lubricate with oil.
