Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of condiment ingredient dispensing equipment, specifically a device for optimizing precise metering and dispensing of condiments. Background Technology
[0002] In condiment production, a structure design of storage silos combined with metering tanks is usually adopted. The metering rollers are driven by a motor to rotate, and the metering tanks are used to quantitatively grab condiment raw materials. This type of device can realize basic metering functions in conventional ingredient mixing scenarios.
[0003] However, during the production process, when processing powdered seasonings, the surface tension of the seasonings causes them to adhere to the inner wall of the metering tank. This results in seasoning residue remaining in the metering tank after the ingredients are dispensed, and the cumulative error leads to a decrease in the accuracy of batch dispensing, making it difficult to meet the production requirements of precise proportions of multiple components in compound seasonings. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a precise metering and ingredient optimization device for condiment production, so as to solve the technical problem of reduced accuracy caused by metering residue after powder condiment preparation.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A precision metering and ingredient optimization device for condiment production includes a storage silo. A support frame is fixedly connected to the lower end of the storage silo. A motor is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame. A dispensing roller is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. Several metering grooves are opened on one side of the dispensing roller. The dispensing roller is rotatably connected to the lower end of the storage silo. A cleaning component is provided at the lower end of the storage silo, and a uniform component is provided at the upper end of the storage silo.
[0007] The cleaning assembly includes extrusion blocks fixedly connected to both ends of the feeding roller. The cleaning assembly also includes a bracket fixedly connected to one side of the storage bin. A transmission rod is slidably connected to both ends of the bracket. A return spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission rod. A transmission frame is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod. One side of the transmission frame is fixedly connected to the return spring. The other end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the storage bin. A wedge is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission frame.
[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the material equalization assembly includes a first pulley fixedly connected to one side of the feeding roller, and the material equalization assembly also includes a round shaft rotatably connected to the upper end of the storage bin, a second pulley fixedly connected to one end of the round shaft, and several material equalization rods fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round shaft.
[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the first pulley and the second pulley are connected by a belt, and the belt is a synchronous belt.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the corners of the extrusion block are rounded, and the extrusion block and the wedge block are set accordingly.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the storage bin is provided with a chamber corresponding to the metering trough, and the lower end of the storage bin is open.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model of precise metering and ingredient optimization device for condiment production are as follows: When in use, the extrusion block is connected to the ingredient roller. While the ingredient roller rotates, it drives the extrusion block to briefly squeeze the wedge block. Under the reset force of the reset spring, the wedge block generates a slight impact on the ingredient roller, eliminating the material adsorption phenomenon caused by surface tension in the metering tank, reducing metering errors, eliminating the need for an additional power source, improving ingredient accuracy, reducing equipment maintenance costs, and meeting the precise metering needs of multi-component raw materials in condiment production.

[0022] See Figure 1-4 As shown, the precision metering and ingredient optimization device for condiment production according to this utility model embodiment includes a storage bin 1. A support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the storage bin 1. A motor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 2. A dispensing roller 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3. Several metering grooves 5 are opened on one side of the dispensing roller 4. The dispensing roller 4 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the storage bin 1. A cleaning component is provided at the lower end of the storage bin 1, and a uniform component is provided at the upper end of the storage bin 1. The cleaning component includes extrusion blocks 6 fixedly connected to both ends of the dispensing roller 4. The cleaning component also includes a bracket 7 fixedly connected to one side of the storage bin 1. A transmission rod 8 is slidably connected to both ends of the bracket 7. A return spring 9 is sleeved on the outer wall of the transmission rod 8. A transmission frame 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod 8. One side of the transmission frame 10 is fixedly connected to the return spring 9, and the other end of the return spring 9 is fixedly connected to the storage bin 1. A wedge block 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission frame 10.
[0023] The material equalization assembly includes a first pulley 12 fixedly connected to one side of the feeding roller 4. The material equalization assembly also includes a round shaft 13 rotatably connected to the upper end of the storage bin 1. A second pulley 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the round shaft 13. Several material equalization rods 15 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round shaft 13. The first pulley 12 and the second pulley 14 are connected by a belt. The belt is a synchronous belt. The corners of the extrusion block 6 are smoothly transitioned. The extrusion block 6 and the wedge block 11 are correspondingly arranged. The storage bin 1 is provided with a chamber corresponding to the metering groove 5. The lower end of the storage bin 1 is open.
[0024] In use, the motor 3 is started, and the output of the motor 3 drives the dispensing roller 4 to rotate. The metering trough 5 on the outside of the dispensing roller 4 then rotates. When the metering trough 5 rotates to the bottom of the storage bin 1, the seasoning falls into the trough due to gravity, and is quantitatively measured. When the dispensing roller 4 rotates, the first pulley 12 rotates synchronously. The first pulley 12 drives the second pulley 14 to rotate through the synchronous belt. The second pulley 14 then drives the round shaft 13 and the outer wall uniform rod 15 to rotate at the upper end of the storage bin 1. The uniform rod 15 agitates the material in the bin, preventing the powder from accumulating due to surface tension, and ensuring that the raw materials continuously fall and fill the metering trough 5. The extrusion blocks 6 at both ends of the dispensing roller 4 rotate with the dispensing roller 4. When the extrusion block 6 contacts the wedge block 11 on one side of the storage bin 1, its rounded corners push the wedge block 11 to move. The wedge block 11 drives the transmission rod 8 to slide on the bracket 7 through the transmission frame 10, and at the same time compresses the return spring 9. After the extrusion block 6 rotates past the wedge block 11, the return spring 9 returns to its original position. The return spring 9 then pushes the transmission rod 8 to quickly return to the right, generating a small impact on the dispensing roller 4. This impact force is transmitted to the inner wall of the metering tank 5, causing the powder adsorbed by surface tension in the metering tank 5 to fall off instantly, ensuring that the raw material falls completely into the collection bin when dispensing. As the dispensing roller 4 continues to rotate, the metering tank 5 repeats the above process to achieve continuous and accurate dispensing.
[0025] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles of the present invention. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The above embodiments and descriptions in the specification are only illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the scope of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
