Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of noodle processing, in particular to a naan bread shaping machine. Background Art
[0002] In the naan-making process, shaping is crucial and extremely challenging. Traditionally, shaping naan relies heavily on manual labor, requiring craftsmen to draw on their extensive experience and skill to repeatedly knead, press, and spread the dough into a specific shape. With the advancement of automation in the food industry, naan shaping machines have emerged. These machines aim to overcome the shortcomings of manual shaping and, through mechanized and automated operations, achieve efficient, precise, and standardized shaping of naan, thereby improving the overall efficiency and quality control of naan production.
[0003] The shortcomings of an existing naan shaping machine: In the current operation process of the naan production device, although the basic process of kneading flour into strips and spreading it flat on the conveyor belt, and then pressing and shaping it with the help of a forming structure has been realized, this process has caused the problem of fabric waste. When the forming structure completes the pressing operation, the excess fabric will continue to be transported along the conveyor belt, and the terminal of the conveyor belt is usually directly connected to the baking device. If these excess fabrics are not effectively processed, they will be sent into the baking device along with the operation of the conveyor belt. In the long run, not only will a large amount of raw materials be wasted and production costs increased, but the mold of the existing forming structure is fixed, so that most of them can only produce one type of naan, and cannot be replaced with naan of different sizes and types. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, the utility model provides a naan shaping machine, comprising a roller conveyor and a shaping structure assembled on the top of the roller conveyor, and a recovery structure located on the left side of the shaping structure;
[0005] The recovery structure includes fixed plates installed on the front and back of the roller conveyor, a servo motor installed on the outer wall of one of the fixed plates, and a rotating rod fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. A belt transmission structure is installed on the left side of the two fixed plates, and an inclined plate for providing guidance for the fabric is provided between the fixed plate and the belt transmission structure.
[0006] Preferably, the forming structure includes four symmetrically distributed support columns and a mounting plate fixedly installed on the top of the support columns, and cylinder A and cylinder B fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate, and the output ends of cylinder A and cylinder B are respectively fixedly connected with locking ring A and locking ring B.
[0007] Preferably, the inner walls of the A locking ring and the B locking ring are rotatably connected to a forming mold and a pressing mold respectively, the bottom of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a buffer spring, and the bottom of the buffer spring is fixedly connected to an annular cutting cylinder.
[0008] Preferably, the forming die is located in the middle of the annular cutting cylinder and the annular cutting cylinder will first contact the strip-shaped dough and cut it.
[0009] Preferably, when the servo motor is started, it can drive the rotating rod to rotate. Through the rotation of the rotating rod, the remaining waste can be transferred to the inclined plate and fall to the belt transmission structure under the influence of gravity for recycling.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0011] The utility model cooperates the forming structure with the recycling structure, so that when making naan, it is only necessary to rotate the forming mold and the pressing mold to replace the forming mold and the pressing mold of different sizes as needed, so as to make different types of naan. After completing the strip forming of the dough and laying it on the conveyor belt, the forming mold first gives the dough a preliminary contour shape, and then the pressing mold applies precise pressure to ensure that the thickness of the naan is uniform and firm. At this point, the naan has been basically formed. As for the remaining strip fabric, after placing it on the rotating rod, the servo motor is started, and the servo motor drives the rotating rod to rotate rapidly and stably. The remaining fabric begins to move under the friction of the rotating rod and is then transmitted to the inclined plate. The inclined plate can guide the fabric to the belt transmission structure, and the belt transmission structure continuously transmits the remaining fabric to the designated collection area, thereby realizing effective recycling of the fabric, thereby reducing the waste of raw materials and reducing production costs, laying a solid foundation for large-scale and high-efficiency production of naan.

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model provides a naan shaping machine, comprising a roller conveyor 1, a forming structure 2 assembled on the top of the roller conveyor 1, and a recovery structure 3 located on the left side of the forming structure 2;
[0019] The recovery structure 3 includes fixed plates 31 mounted on the front and back of the roller conveyor 1, a servo motor 32 mounted on the outer wall of one of the fixed plates 31, and a rotating rod 33 fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 32. A belt transmission structure 34 is installed on the left side of the two fixed plates 31, and an inclined plate 35 for providing guidance for the fabric is provided between the fixed plate 31 and the belt transmission structure 34.
[0020] The above scheme is adopted: by cooperating with the forming structure 2 and the recycling structure 3, when making naan, it is only necessary to rotate the forming mold 27 and the pressing mold 28 to replace the forming mold 27 and the pressing mold 28 of different sizes as needed, so as to make different types of naan. After the dough is formed into strips and laid on the conveyor belt, the forming mold 27 first gives the dough a preliminary outline shape, and then the pressing mold 28 applies precise pressure to ensure that the thickness of the naan is uniform and firm. At this point, the naan has been basically formed, and for the remaining strips of fabric, the After it is placed on the rotating rod 33, the servo motor 32 is started, and the servo motor 32 drives the rotating rod 33 to rotate quickly and stably. The remaining fabric begins to move under the friction of the rotating rod 33, and is then transmitted to the inclined plate 35. The inclined plate 35 can guide the fabric to the belt transmission structure 34, and the belt transmission structure 34 continuously transmits the remaining fabric to the designated collection area, realizing the effective recycling of the fabric, thereby reducing the waste of raw materials and reducing production costs, laying a solid foundation for the large-scale and high-efficiency production of naan.
[0021] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the forming structure 2 includes four symmetrically distributed support columns 21 and a mounting plate 22 fixedly mounted on the top of the support columns 21, as well as an A cylinder 23 and a B cylinder 24 fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting plate 22. The output ends of the A cylinder 23 and the B cylinder 24 are fixedly connected with an A locking ring 25 and a B locking ring 26 respectively. The inner walls of the A locking ring 25 and the B locking ring 26 are rotatably connected with a forming mold 27 and a pressing mold 28 respectively. The forming mold 27 can cut the dough into a preliminary shape.
[0022] Adopting the above scheme: A cylinder 23 and B cylinder 24 can respectively drive the forming mold 27 and the pressing mold 28 to press down, the forming mold 27 can press the dough into a predetermined shape, and the pressing mold 28 is provided with a plurality of insertion rods, which are used to poke holes in the middle of the dough.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when the B cylinder 24 moves downward, it can synchronously drive the B locking ring 26 and the pressing mold 28 to move downward so that the pressing mold 28 can pierce the preliminarily formed naan. When the servo motor 32 is started, it can drive the rotating rod 33 to rotate. Through the rotation of the rotating rod 33, the remaining waste can be transferred to the inclined plate 35 and fall to the belt transmission structure 34 under the left and right of gravity for recycling.
[0024] Adopting the above scheme: when the strip of dough moves forward along the roller conveyor 1, the pressing mold 28 first contacts the strip of dough. With its sharp and precisely designed cutting edge, the pressing mold 28 can cut the strip of dough neatly along the predetermined circumference and shape, so that the dough initially has the general outline of naan.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model:
[0026] First, the kneaded dough is made into strips and placed on the roller conveyor 1. After the equipment is started, when the strips of dough are conveyed forward with the roller conveyor 1, the A cylinder 23 pushes the A locking ring 25 to drive the forming mold 27 to press down and give the dough a predetermined shape. Then, the B cylinder 24 enables the B locking ring 26 to drive the pressing mold 28 to apply force to the naan. Its insertion rod pokes a hole in the middle of the naan and ensures that the thickness is uniform and firm. At this point, the naan is basically formed. For the remaining strips of fabric, the staff only needs to pull it up and place it on the rotating rod 33, start the servo motor 32, and the rotating rod 33 rotates. With the help of friction, the waste is moved to the inclined plate 35, and then falls to the belt transmission structure 34 under the action of gravity, which transmits it to the designated collection area to realize waste recycling. The whole process is efficient and orderly, ensuring the molding quality and production efficiency of the naan.
