Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a linear dumpling forming system, and more specifically, to a linear dumpling forming system that receives a sheet of dough for dumpling wrappers, cuts the dumpling wrappers, and folds the dumpling wrappers filled with dumpling filling to form dumplings. Background Technology

[0002] Generally, dumplings are made by filling dumpling wrappers filled with filling. In this case, due to the difficulty of making dumpling wrappers filled with filling, in current technology, people should make dumplings one by one by hand.

[0003] Therefore, making dumplings requires a lot of time and effort and is difficult to mass-produce.

[0004] In recent years, some automated dumpling-making equipment has been manufactured to address this problem. However, these devices are complex in structure and require a large installation area, resulting in low production capacity relative to the installation area.

[0005] In addition, in the dumpling forming equipment according to the prior art, poor sealing occurs, in which the dumpling skin is not properly sealed during the process of folding and sealing the dumpling skin filled with dumpling filling, so that the dumpling filling overflows from the dumpling skin.

[0049] The second dough sheet presser 130 may be supported by the cutting device frame 110 and spaced apart from the first dough sheet presser 120. The second dough sheet presser 130 can form dumpling wrappers by using a protruding blade 221a to press the dough sheet for dumpling wrappers that has been initially pressed by the first dough sheet presser 120 a second time.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the second dough sheet presser 130 according to this embodiment may include: a second rotating rod portion 131 rotatably connected to the cutting device frame 110; a second pressing roller portion 132 rotatably connected to the second rotating rod portion 131 and pressing the dough sheet for dumpling wrappers; and a second height adjustment portion 133 supported by the cutting device frame 110, the second height adjustment portion 133 being connected to the second rotating rod portion 131, and adjusting the height of the second pressing roller portion 132 relative to the protruding cutter 221a by adjusting the rotation angle of the second rotating rod portion 131.

[0051] The second rotating rod portion 131 is rotatably connected to the cutting device frame 110. The second rotating rod portion 131 may be formed in the shape of a long rod.

[0052] The second pressing roller 132 is rotatably connected to the second rotating rod 131. The second pressing roller 132 can ultimately press the dough sheet for dumpling wrappers, which has been slightly pressed by the first pressing roller 122, toward the protruding cutter 221a, thereby cutting dumpling wrappers from the dough sheet for dumpling wrappers.

[0053] The second height adjustment unit 133 can be supported by the cutting device frame 110. The second height adjustment unit 133 can be connected to the second rotating rod 131, and the height of the second pressing roller 132 relative to the protruding cutter 221a can be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the second rotating rod 131.

[0055] A dumpling filling supply device (not shown) supplies dumpling filling to dumpling wrappers cut by the dumpling wrapper cutting device 100. The dumpling filling supply device (not shown) can be disposed in the upper region of the dumpling forming lower folding device 200, and supplies dumpling filling to the upper surface of the dumpling wrapper supported by the dumpling forming lower folding device 200 disposed in the lower region. According to this embodiment, the dumpling filling supply device (not shown) can be disposed between the dumpling wrapper cutting device 100 and the sealing device 300.

[0056] The dumpling forming lower folding device 200 can be provided in the lower region of the dumpling skin cutting device 100. The dumpling forming lower folding device 200 can press and fold the dumpling skin containing dumpling filling from below.

[0057] The dumpling forming lower folding device 200 according to this embodiment may include: a folding device frame 210 supported on the ground; a dumpling skin pressing unit 220 having a plurality of dumpling skin folding portions SF and GF, which sequentially press the dumpling skin to fold it sequentially; a folding cam track unit 230 disposed adjacent to the dumpling skin pressing unit 220, the folding cam track unit 230 being connected to the dumpling skin pressing unit 220 and moving the dumpling skin folding portions SF and GF; and a folding moving unit 240 connected to the dumpling skin pressing unit 220 and moving the dumpling skin pressing unit 220 relative to the folding cam track unit 230.

[0058] like Figure 1As shown, multiple dumpling skin pressing units 220 can be provided and arranged in the form of a track. These multiple dumpling skin pressing units 220 can be connected to the folding chain portion 241 of the folding moving unit 240, which will be described below. The multiple dumpling skin pressing units 220 can rotate and transfer according to the rotation of the folding chain portion 241, and can move the dumpling skin in the direction from the dumpling skin cutting device 100 to the sealing device 300.

[0059] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the dumpling skin pressing unit 220 may include: an upper plate portion 221 connected to the folding moving unit 240 and rotatably connected to the dumpling skin folding portions SF and GF; a folding rotation drive module 222 connected to the upper plate portion 221 and rotating the dumpling skin folding portions SF and GF; and an upper plate support portion 229 connected to the folding cam track unit 230 and supporting the upper plate portion 221.

[0060] A dumpling wrapper placement area "K" can be formed in the upper plate portion 221, on which dumpling wrappers cut by the dumpling wrapper pressing unit 220 are placed. For example... Figure 4 As shown, multiple dumpling wrapper placement areas "K" can be set and can be spaced apart from each other along the length of the upper plate 221. When the dumpling wrapper folding parts SF and GF are driven, one area of ​​the dumpling wrapper can be spaced apart from the upper plate 221.

[0061] In this embodiment, the upper plate portion 221 may be provided with a protruding cutter 221a that defines the periphery of the dumpling wrapper placement area "K". The protruding cutter 221a may protrude from the upper surface of the upper plate portion 221 and may be formed in a circular or elliptical shape. In this embodiment, the protruding cutter 221a may contact the lower surface of the dough sheet for dumpling wrappers pressed by the dumpling wrapper pressing unit 220 to cut the dumpling wrapper into the shape of the protruding cutter 221a.

[0062] The dumpling wrapper folds SF and GF are rotatably connected to the upper plate 221. For example... Figures 4 to 8 As shown, the dumpling wrapper folding portions SF and GF may include a supporting finger portion SF for the initial pressing of the dumpling wrapper and a collecting finger portion GF for the secondary pressing of the dumpling wrapper pressed by the supporting finger portion SF and collecting the edge area of ​​the dumpling wrapper.

[0063] In one embodiment, two support fingers SF may be provided and arranged facing each other. The support fingers SF can press the dumpling skin in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the dumpling skin pressing unit 220 conveyed by the folding moving unit 240.

[0064] like Figures 4 to 7As shown, the support finger SF can rotate the first support finger by a preset rotation angle before collecting the finger GF, press the lower surface of the dumpling skin placed on the dumpling skin placement area "K", slightly lift the two sides of the dumpling skin, and then stop without rotating.

[0065] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the support finger portion SF according to this embodiment may include a support body SF1 rotatably connected to the upper plate portion 221 and a support flange SF2 protruding from the side wall of the support body SF1 and in contact with the dumpling skin.

[0066] A support rotation center shaft SF3, which is rotatably connected to the upper plate portion 221, can be formed in the support body SF1.

[0067] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the support flange SF2 is formed to be longer in the horizontal direction, thereby increasing the contact area with the folded dumpling skin and allowing for stronger pressing of the dumpling skin.

[0068] The collecting finger-like part GF can press the dumpling wrapper pressed by the supporting finger-like part SF a second time. In this embodiment, as... Figures 4 to 7 As shown, four collecting fingers GF are provided, and these four collecting fingers GF are radially spaced apart from each other relative to the center of the dumpling skin placement area "K".

[0069] A collection rotation center shaft GF3, which is rotatably connected to the upper plate portion 221, can be formed in the collection finger portion GF.

[0070] After the supporting finger SF begins to rotate, or after the supporting finger SF rotates by the rotation angle of the first supporting finger, the collecting finger GF can rotate to a preset rotation angle for collecting the finger (see...). Figure 7 C).

[0071] After the collecting finger GF starts rotating, or after the collecting finger GF rotates by a certain rotation angle, the supporting finger SF can rotate by a preset rotation angle of the second supporting finger (see...). Figure 7 D). Here, the rotation angle of the second support finger can be greater than the rotation angle of the first support finger.

[0072] After the supporting finger SF rotates by the first rotation angle, the collecting finger GF rotates by the second rotation angle. Therefore, the edge area of ​​the dumpling wrapper can be concentrated in the center, and the dumpling wrapper can be folded. The dumpling wrapper is first pressed by the supporting finger SF, then by the collecting finger GF, and finally by the supporting finger SF again, thus accurately folding the dumpling wrapper without the filling overflowing.

[0073] The folding rotation drive module 222 can be connected to the upper plate 221. The folding rotation drive module 222 can rotate the dumpling skin folding parts SF and GF.

[0074] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the folding rotation drive module 222 according to this embodiment may include: a middle plate portion 223, disposed in the lower region of the upper plate portion 221 and connected to the upper plate portion 221 to be movable relative to it; a collecting finger-shaped portion connecting portion 224, hinged to the middle plate portion 223 and hinged to the collecting finger-shaped portion GF; a middle plate moving portion 225, connected to the middle plate portion 223 and moving the middle plate portion 223 in the direction of the upper plate portion 221; a lower plate portion 226, disposed in the lower region of the middle plate portion 223, connected to the upper plate portion 221 to be movable relative to it, and having a through body "N" passing through the middle plate portion 223; a supporting finger-shaped portion connecting portion 227, hinged to the through body "N" and hinged to the supporting finger-shaped portion SF; and a lower plate moving portion 228, connected to the lower plate portion 226 and moving the lower plate portion 226 in the direction of the upper plate portion 221.

[0075] The intermediate plate portion 223 may be disposed in the lower region of the lower plate portion 226. The intermediate plate portion 223 may be connected to the intermediate plate guide shaft R1 to be slidably movable in the vertical direction, and thus may be movable in the vertical direction relative to the upper plate portion 221, wherein the intermediate plate guide shaft R1 is connected to the upper plate portion 221.

[0076] The collecting finger-shaped connecting portion 224 can be formed in the shape of a rod. One end region of the collecting finger-shaped connecting portion 224 is rotatably connected to the intermediate plate portion 223. In addition, the other end region of the collecting finger-shaped connecting portion 224 is rotatably connected to the collecting finger-shaped portion GF.

[0077] The intermediate plate moving part 225 can be connected to the intermediate plate part 223 to move the intermediate plate part 223 in the direction of the upper plate part 221. For example... Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the intermediate plate moving part 225 according to this embodiment may include a collecting finger lifting body 225a and a collecting finger rotating roller 225b. The collecting finger lifting body 225a passes through the lower plate part 226 and is connected to the intermediate plate part 223. The collecting finger rotating roller 225b is rotatably connected to the collecting finger lifting body 225a and connected to the folding cam track unit 230.

[0078] The collecting finger-shaped rotating roller 225b can be connected to the upper surface of the collecting finger-shaped support track 232 of the folding cam track unit 230, and can move along the upper surface of the collecting finger-shaped support track 232. In this case, the collecting finger-shaped rotating roller 225b can move upward according to the shape of the upper surface of the collecting finger-shaped support track 232, and the upward movement of the collecting finger-shaped rotating roller 225b allows the collecting finger-shaped lifting body 225a to move upward.

[0079] The upward movement of the collecting finger lifting body 225a allows the intermediate plate 223 to rise in the direction of the upper plate 221, and the rise of the intermediate plate 223 allows the collecting finger connecting part 224 to rise, allows the collecting finger GF to rotate, and allows the collecting finger GF to rise.

[0080] The lower plate portion 226 may be disposed in the lower region of the intermediate plate portion 223. The lower plate portion 226 may be connected to the lower plate guide shaft R2, which is connected to the upper plate portion 221, so as to be slidably movable in the vertical direction and thus movable in the vertical direction relative to the upper plate portion 221.

[0081] A through-body "N" can be provided in the lower plate portion 226, which is connected to the upper plate portion 221 so as to be movable relative to it and passes through the intermediate plate portion 223. A cutting hole (not shown) through which the through-body "N" passes can be formed in the intermediate plate portion 223.

[0082] The support finger connector 227 can be formed in the shape of a rod. One end region of the support finger connector 227 can be rotatably connected to the through body "N". In addition, the other end region of the support finger connector 227 can be rotatably connected to the support finger SF.

[0083] The lower plate moving part 228 can be connected to the lower plate part 226 so that the lower plate part 226 can move in the direction of the upper plate part 221.

[0084] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the lower plate moving part 228 according to this embodiment may include: a support finger lifting body 228a connected to the lower plate part 226; and a support finger rotating roller 228b rotatably connected to the support finger lifting body 228a and connected to the folding cam track unit 230.

[0085] The support finger rotating roller 228b can be connected to the upper surface of the support finger support track 231 of the folding cam track unit 230, and can move along the upper surface of the support finger support track 231. In this case, the support finger rotating roller 228b can move upward according to the shape of the upper surface of the support finger support track 231, and the upward movement of the support finger rotating roller 228b allows the support finger lifting body 228a to move upward.

[0086] The upward movement of the support finger lifting body 228a allows the lower plate 226 to rise in the direction of the upper plate 221. The rise of the lower plate 226 allows the through body "N" to rise and allows the support finger connecting part 227 to rise. The raised support finger connecting part 227 can rotate the support finger SF to raise the support finger SF.

[0087] The upper plate support 229 can be connected to the folding cam track unit 230 to support the upper plate 221.

[0088] like Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the upper plate support 229 may include: an upper plate support 229a connected to the upper plate portion 221; and an upper plate rotating roller 229b rotatably connected to the upper plate support 229a and connected to the folding cam track unit 230.

[0089] The upper plate rotating roller 229b can be connected to the upper surface of the upper plate support track 233 of the folding cam track unit 230 and moves along the upper surface of the upper plate support track 233. Unlike the upper surfaces of the support finger support track 231 and the collecting finger support track 232, the upper surface of the upper plate support track 233 can be formed into a flat shape without tilting, thereby preventing the upper plate 221 from sagging during movement.

[0090] The folding cam track unit 230 can be connected to the folding device frame 210.
