Automatic zongzi filling equipment and process

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic zongzi filling equipment and process. The equipment comprises a rotary table moving intermittently, a conveying mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a sealing mechanism and an output mechanism, wherein the conveying mechanism, the feeding mechanism, the sealing mechanism and the output mechanism are sequentially distributed in the circumferential direction of the rotary table; a plurality of clamping mechanisms are mounted on the rotary table in the circumferential direction; each clamping mechanism comprises a pair of supporting arms, the distance between each pair of supporting arms is adjustable, and each supporting arm is provided with a clamping jaw used for clamping a packaging bag; the conveying mechanism comprises a supply tank used for containing the packaging bags and a movable suction cup used for transferring the packaging bags in the supply tank to the clamping mechanism one by one; the feeding mechanism comprises a pair of bag opening suction cups matched with the obverse sides and the reverse sides of the packaging bags and a material conveying pipe feeding materials to the opened packaging bags; the sealing mechanism comprises two heat sealing films matched with each other; the output mechanism is used for carrying conveyor belts of products released by the clamping mechanisms. According to the equipment and process, zongzi can be automatically formed, production and manufacturing efficiency is improved, and cost and energy consumption are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of Zongzi production and processing equipment, in particular to automatic filling equipment for Zongzi. Background technique [0002] Zongzi originated from the Han nationality in China. According to legend, it is related to the commemoration of the ancient poet Qu Yuan throwing himself into the river. It is one of the sceneries for the Dragon Boat Festival. Legend has it that zongzi was first made and circulated to worship Qu Yuan who threw himself into the river. The purpose was to protect Qu Yuan's body from being eaten and damaged by fish, so zongzi was thrown as bait. Therefore, on that day every year, people commemorate Qu Yuan by sending zongzi to each other. [0003] The shape of zongzi varies with the folk customs of various places, and the sayings are also different, such as regular triangle, oblique triangle, spiral angle, shovel head, etc.; or triangle, square cone, pillow shape, small pagoda shape, round...

Problems solved by technology

Since the reed leaves (i.e. Zong leaves) are natural products and not standardized mechanical parts, the shape and size of each reed leaf are different, making it difficult to realize the mechanical automation of the shelling and thread binding steps of traditional manual wrapping.

[0006] The traditional zongzi wrapped in zongzi needs to be immersed in hot water for cooking, so that the water can enter the zongzi through the zong leaves and gelatinize with the glutinous rice. With this process, the surface of the zongzi leaves will be contaminated A large amount of oil pollution is prone to mold on the surface of zong leaves during the subsequent storage process. Moreover, using this cooking method, the utilization rate of water, oil and heat energy is very low. During the peak production period, about 300 tons of cooking Discharge of rice dumpling water, the temperature of the rice dumpling water is above 90°C, and it contains 1% oil and loose wrapping threads, broken rice grains, soy sauce, sugar, salt, etc., which are not easy to recycle. Increased the task of pollution treatment, but also caused a waste of water, oil, heat energy

[0007] If you need to extend the shelf life of zongzi, you need to further carry out vacuum packaging. You need to put the cooked zongzi in a vacuum packaging bag and perform a second high-temperature sterilization process to achieve long-term storage at room temperature. The second high-temperature sterilization process will The flavor of the zongzi itself has a great impact. In the process of eating the zongzi, it is necessary to peel off the oily zongzi leaves, which is extremely inconvenient for the eater.
