[0015] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0016] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by “center”, “up”, “down”, “left”, “right”, “vertical”, “horizontal”, “inside” and “outside”, etc., are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the referred device or element must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0017] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. This embodiment is written in a progressive manner.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a forming machine for food processing of the present invention comprises: a tumbling mechanism, wherein the tumbling mechanism comprises a coaxially arranged pressure roller 1 and an arc-shaped support plate 2, wherein the axes of the pressure roller 1 and the arc-shaped support plate 2 are horizontal, and the arc-shaped support plate 2 is located at the lower side of the pressure roller 1; wherein a power mechanism for providing power to the pressure roller 1 is arranged on the pressure roller 1, wherein the power mechanism can drive the pressure roller 1 to reciprocate along the axis of the pressure roller 1, and the pressure roller 1 rotates around its own axis.

[0019] In detail, the opening of the arc-shaped support plate 2 faces upward, and the pressure roller 1 is coaxially arranged above the arc-shaped support plate 2, so that the distance between the pressure roller 1 and the arc-shaped support plate 2 can be kept balanced. Since the power mechanism can drive the pressure roller 1 to rotate and can make the pressure roller 1 reciprocate along its own axis, the pressure roller 1 can simulate the manual kneading of food raw materials on the arc-shaped support plate 2 to shape the food, so that the food is finally formed into a pill shape. Moreover, since the pressure roller 1 rotates, the pressure roller 1 can achieve a conveying effect while kneading and shaping the food, that is, the food is conveyed from one side of the arc-shaped support plate 2 to the other side. In this way, it can be ensured that the food can be continuously conveyed from one side of the arc-shaped support plate 2 to between the pressure roller 1 and the arc-shaped support plate 2 for shaping and continuously discharged from the other side of the arc-shaped support plate 2, thereby realizing a continuous processing method for food.

[0020] It should be pointed out that when processing food, the food raw materials must first be made into columns, then cut into blocks, and then the block food raw materials are sent between the pressing roller 1 and the arc-shaped support plate 2 for forming processing, which is similar to the preparation of food raw materials in the traditional way.

[0021] The machine realizes the continuous transportation of food from one end to the other end through the design of the rolling and kneading mechanism, so that the processing of food is no longer intermittent but a continuous production process, which greatly improves the processing efficiency; the rotation and reciprocating motion of the pressure roller 1 are used to simulate the manual kneading action, but the speed and strength can be more uniform and controllable, thereby improving the processing speed and efficiency; since standardized mechanical actions are used to replace traditional operating methods, the shape and size consistency of the pill-shaped food can be better controlled, and the product differences caused by human factors are reduced; the design of the equipment makes the operation simpler, reduces the dependence on skilled workers, reduces the training cost, and also reduces the health risks caused by manual operation, and the structure is simple, easy to operate and low in cost; in short, this forming machine for pill-shaped food processing, with its efficient continuous processing capacity, consistent product quality and ease of use, effectively solves many problems existing in traditional manual or low-end mechanical processing methods, and is an important innovation in the field of pill-shaped food processing.

[0022] Furthermore, the power mechanism includes a base frame 3 for supporting and two support columns 4 installed at both ends of the pressure roller 1, the support column 4 is coaxial with the pressure roller 1, and two support plates 5 for supporting the two support columns 4 are fixed on the base frame 3, the support column 4 passes through the support plates 5, the support column 4 slides and rotates on the support plates 5, and a polygonal shaft 6 is slidably inserted on the end surface of the support column 4 away from the pressure roller 1, and the polygonal shaft 6 is rotatably installed on the base frame 3, an eccentric ring 7 is eccentrically arranged on the outer wall of the support column 4, and a swivel 8 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the eccentric ring 7, and the swivel 8 is connected to the polygonal shaft 6 by a push-pull rod 9; Among them, a guide plate 10 is fixed on the eccentric ring 7, and the guide plate 10 slides through the support plate 5 along the axial direction of the pressure roller 1. The rotation axis of the push-pull rod 9 and the polygonal shaft 6 is perpendicular to the axis of the pressure roller 1. The push-pull rod 9 is rotatably connected to the swivel 8 through a sphere, and a first motor 11 for providing power to a polygonal shaft 6 is arranged on the base frame 3.

[0023] In detail, the base frame 3 can support the pressure roller 1 through the polygonal shaft 6 and the support column 4. The bottom of the arc-shaped support plate 2 is fixed on the base frame 3. The support plate 5 also supports the pressure roller 1 through the support column 4. The guide plate 10 guides the eccentric ring 7, so that the eccentric ring 7 cannot rotate but can only move laterally. When the first motor 11 is running, it will drive the polygonal shaft 6 to rotate. Due to its shape characteristics, the polygonal shaft 6 will drive the pressure roller 1 to rotate through the support column 4, thereby providing rotational power for the pressure roller 1. Due to the rotation of the polygonal shaft 6, the polygonal shaft 6 will push and pull The rod 9 drives the swivel 8 to rotate on the eccentric ring 7. The eccentric design of the eccentric ring 7 can make the push-pull rod 9 push the swivel 8 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the pressure roller 1. The swivel 8 pulls the support column 4 to reciprocate through the eccentric ring 7, thereby making the pressure roller 1 reciprocate. Combined with the above-mentioned two movement modes of the pressure roller 1, the kneading work of the pressure roller 1 on the raw material is realized. This structural method can realize a variety of movement modes provided by one power source for the pressure roller 1. Compared with traditional design concepts such as multiple power sources and transmission structures, its structural method is simpler, more convenient to operate, and more synchronized.

[0024] It should be pointed out that, since the eccentric design of the eccentric ring 7 is needed to provide reciprocating motion for the pressure roller 1, the eccentric ring 7 cannot rotate synchronously with the support column 4, and the function of the guide plate 10 is to limit the eccentric ring 7 so that it cannot rotate. Since the swivel 8 needs to be pushed to rotate on the eccentric ring 7 by the push-pull rod 9, the push-pull rod 9 needs to always be coplanar with the axis of the pressure roller 1. Due to the eccentric setting of the eccentric ring 7, in order to make the structure operate normally, the push-pull rod 9 needs to be rotatably connected with the swivel 8 through a ball.

[0025] Furthermore, a slider 12 is slidably provided on the polygonal shaft 6 , and the slider 12 is rotatably installed along the axial direction of the polygonal shaft 6 , and the push-pull rod 9 is rotatably installed on the polygonal shaft 6 , and the slider 12 and the polygonal shaft 6 are locked by bolts.

[0026] In detail, with the help of the slider 12, the push-pull rod 9 can realize a rotational connection with the polygonal shaft 6, and when the slider 12 moves, it will adjust the relative position of the pressure roller 1 and the arc-shaped support plate 2, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the working area of ​​the pressure roller 1 and the arc-shaped support plate 2, that is, the size of the overlapping area of ​​the pressure roller 1 and the arc-shaped support plate 2. It should be pointed out that in actual use, push-pull rods 9 of different lengths can also be replaced, thereby combining the movable characteristics of the slider 12 to adjust the reciprocating motion amplitude of the pressure roller 1. It should be noted here that the structures on the two polygonal shafts 6 at both ends of the pressure roller 1 need to be adjusted in coordination to avoid jamming.

[0027] Furthermore, each of the support columns 4 is provided with a turntable 14 , which rotates relative to the support column 4 , and the two turntables 14 are connected by a plurality of scrapers 13 , which are used to scrape and clean the outer wall of the pressure roller 1 and the inner wall of the arc-shaped support plate 2 .

[0028] In detail, when the turntable 14 rotates on the support column 4, it will drive multiple scrapers 13 to rotate synchronously. The scraper 13 will scrape and clean the outer wall of the pressure roller 1, so as to prevent the raw material from sticking to the pressure roller 1. At the same time, when the scraper 13 moves to the inner wall of the arc-shaped support plate 2, the scraper 13 will simultaneously clean the arc-shaped support plate 2. It can be seen here that the cleaning work is to prevent impurities on the outer wall of the pressure roller 1 and the inner wall of the arc-shaped support plate 2 from interfering with the forming of the raw material and affecting the volume of the raw material, and the support column 4 can support the turntable 14 and the scraper 13.

[0029] Furthermore, a first transmission ring 15 and a second transmission ring 16 are provided between the turntable 14 on the support column 4 and the support plate 5 . The first transmission ring 15 is fixed on the turntable 14 , and the second transmission ring 16 is fixed on the support column 4 . The first transmission ring 15 and the second transmission ring 16 are transmitted via a transmission wheel 17 .

[0030] In detail, when the support column 4 rotates, it will drive the second transmission ring 16 to rotate synchronously, and the second transmission ring 16 will drive the turntable 14 to rotate through the transmission wheel 17 and the first transmission ring 15, thereby providing moving power for the scraper 13.

[0031] Furthermore, the shape of the transmission wheel 17 is conical, and the shapes of the first transmission ring 15 and the second transmission ring 16 correspond to the shape of the transmission wheel 17 and are used in conjunction with each other.

[0032] In detail, the shape of the transmission wheel 17 is conical, and its tip faces the pressure roller 1, and the first transmission ring 15 and the second transmission ring 16 are both in transmission contact with the conical outer wall of the transmission wheel 17, so the first transmission ring 15 and the second transmission ring 16 need to be set to be conical, so that when the second transmission ring 16, the transmission wheel 17 and the first transmission ring 15 are transmitted, the rotation speed of the first transmission ring 15 will be slower than the rotation speed of the pressure roller 1, and according to the movement form of the pressure roller 1 rolling the raw material, the moving direction of the raw material on the arc-shaped support plate 2 will move in the same direction as the rotation direction of the pressure roller 1, and The rolling speed of the raw material will be slower than the rotation speed of the pressure roller 1. Therefore, when the pressure roller 1 rotates, the scraper 13 and the raw material will move in the opposite direction of the rotation direction of the pressure roller 1 relative to the outer wall of the pressure roller 1. By utilizing the transmission relationship among the first transmission ring 15, the second transmission ring 16 and the transmission wheel 17, the moving speed of the scraper 13 is made the same as the moving speed of the raw material, so that the raw material and the scraper 13 can maintain a synchronous movement state, avoiding the scraper 13 from moving too fast or too slow between the pressure roller 1 and the arc-shaped support plate 2, thereby contacting the raw material and interfering with the forming of the raw material.

[0033] Furthermore, a fixing plate 19 is rolled on the guide plate 10 , a rotating column 18 is rotatably provided on the fixing plate 19 , and the transmission wheel 17 is connected to the rotating column 18 .

[0034] In detail, by setting the rotating column 18 and the fixing plate 19, the transmission wheel 17 can be conveniently supported, and when the pressure roller 1 reciprocates, the turntable 14, the first transmission ring 15, the second transmission ring 16, the transmission wheel 17 and the guide plate 10 will move synchronously, so that the first transmission ring 15 and the second transmission ring 16 can always maintain a transmission state with the transmission wheel 17.

[0035] Furthermore, two side plates 20 are rolled on the arc-shaped support plate 2, a conveying roller 21 is rotatably arranged between the two side plates 20, a plurality of receiving grooves 22 for holding raw materials are opened on the outer wall of the conveying roller 21, and a second motor 23 for providing rotational power to the conveying roller 21 is arranged on one side plate 20; The conveying roller 21 is provided with a material guide chute plate 24 , and the material guide chute plate 24 is fixed on the pressure roller 1 .

[0036] In detail, the block raw materials that have been cut can be introduced into the guide trough plate 24, and the guide trough plate 24 transports the raw materials to the vicinity of the outer wall of the conveying roller 21, and the raw materials will enter the receiving groove 22. When the second motor 23 drives the conveying roller 21 to rotate, the receiving groove 22 will carry the raw materials to transfer and transport them between the pressure roller 1 and the arc-shaped support plate 2. Only one raw material can be transferred at a time in the receiving groove 22, so the purpose of decentralized conveying of raw materials can be achieved, avoiding the raw materials from contacting each other and being unable to achieve effective rolling forming when entering between the pressure roller 1 and the arc-shaped support plate 2, thereby avoiding mutual interference between the raw materials.

[0037] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
