Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of instant noodle processing, and in particular to a highly efficient dough mixer. Background Technology

[0002] In instant noodle processing equipment, flour and water are typically mixed evenly using a dough mixer to form dough flakes. These flakes are then pressed into sheets by a noodle press for further processing. The dough mixer usually has a container and a mixing mechanism. Flour and water are added to the container, and the mixing mechanism stirs the mixture to create dough flakes.

[0003] A dough mixer typically has a feed pipe connected to its body for feeding flour. The feed pipe is usually a rigid pipe, and the feed pipe is rigidly connected to the machine body. However, the mixing mechanism may vibrate during operation, which may damage the connection between the feed pipe and the machine body, thus reducing the lifespan of the dough mixer. Utility Model Content

[0004] To ensure the service life of the dough mixer, this application provides a high-efficiency dough mixer.

[0005] The high-efficiency dough mixer provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A high-efficiency dough mixer includes a machine body, on which a receiving pipe is fixed and connected. A feeding pipe for feeding flour is provided on one side of the receiving pipe. A cloth bag is provided between the feeding pipe and the receiving pipe. One end of the cloth bag is sleeved on the outside of the receiving pipe, and the other end is sleeved on the outside of the feeding pipe. A clamp is connected to one end of the cloth bag to lock the cloth bag to the receiving pipe, and a clamp is also connected to the other end of the cloth bag to lock the cloth bag to the feeding pipe.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, a cloth bag tube is installed between the feed pipe and the receiving pipe, and clamps are used to lock both ends of the cloth bag tube to the receiving pipe and the feed pipe, respectively. When the mixing mechanism vibrates during operation, the cloth bag tube has a certain degree of flexibility and elasticity, which can buffer and absorb vibration energy, limiting the vibration from being directly transmitted to the connection between the feed pipe and the machine body. The installation of the cloth bag tube effectively reduces vibration damage to the connection, improves the stability and reliability of the connection between the feed pipe and the machine body, and thus extends the service life of the dough mixer.

[0007] Preferably, the feed pipe is provided with an observation window and an observation port. The observation window includes a fixed half-ring fixedly connected to the edge of the observation port. A rotating half-ring is hinged to one end of the fixed half-ring. Both the fixed half-ring and the rotating half-ring have snap-fit ​​grooves on their adjacent sides. A transparent plate that blocks the observation port is snapped into the two snap-fit ​​grooves. A locking member is connected to the fixed half-ring to lock the fixed half-ring and the rotating half-ring.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to observe the flour feeding situation in the feed pipe. When it is necessary to disassemble the first observation window, first operate the locking device to release the lock between the fixed half ring and the rotating half ring, and then rotate the rotating half ring to separate it from the fixed half ring. The transparent plate that is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove can then be taken out, thus realizing the disassembly of the first observation window. This facilitates the cleaning, replacement and other operations of the first observation window, improving the convenience of use.

[0009] Preferably, the locking component includes a threaded rod hinged to the fixed half-ring, and the rotating half-ring has a locking port at one end near the threaded rod. The threaded rod is inserted into the locking port, and a nut is threaded onto the threaded rod and tightly abuts against the rotating half-ring away from the fixed half-ring.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, rotating the threaded rod to insert it into the locking port, and then rotating the nut to make the nut tightly abut against the rotating half ring, the half ring and the rotating half ring can be effectively locked and fixed, ensuring the stability and sealing of the observation window.

[0011] Preferably, the upper surface of the machine body is provided with an inspection port, a door is hinged to the inspection port, and a connector is connected to the machine body to lock the door to the machine body.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient to inspect the inside of the dough mixer, and the door can be locked to the machine body after inspection to ensure the machine body's airtightness.

[0013] Preferably, the door is provided with an observation window.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, operators can easily observe the situation inside the machine without opening the door, thus improving the convenience and safety of operation.

[0015] Preferably, the machine body is provided with a stirring mechanism, the bottom end of the machine body is provided with a discharge pipe, a valve is installed on the discharge pipe, the upper end of the machine body is fixedly connected with a water inlet pipe, a number of nozzles are installed on the side wall of the water inlet pipe, and one end of the water inlet pipe passes through the side wall of the machine body and is connected to a water inlet mechanism.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the stirring mechanism inside the machine can stir the materials to achieve the dough kneading function. When water needs to be added, the water inlet mechanism delivers water to the water inlet pipe, and several nozzles on the side wall of the water inlet pipe spray water evenly into the machine body, so that the water and materials are fully mixed. After the dough kneading is completed, the valve on the discharge pipe can be opened to discharge the kneaded dough from the discharge pipe, thus improving the overall efficiency and effect of dough kneading.

[0017] Preferably, a ventilation pipe is fixed and connected to the body.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the air pipe can enable the air circulation between the inside of the machine and the outside when the dough mixer is working, ensuring the air pressure balance inside the dough mixer, making the flour feeding and mixing process smoother, and helping to improve the dough mixing efficiency.

[0019] Preferably, the ventilation pipe is fixedly connected to the machine body by an elastic pipe.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the flexible pipe can buffer the force transmitted from the vibration of the mixing mechanism to the air pipe, reduce the occurrence of loosening, displacement or damage of the air pipe due to vibration, ensure the stability and sealing of the connection between the air pipe and the machine body, and thus ensure the normal ventilation function of the dough mixer and ensure the stable operation of the dough mixer.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The design of the cloth bag effectively reduces vibration damage to the connection points, thereby extending the service life of the dough mixer; 2. It facilitates cleaning and replacement of the observation window, improving ease of use; 3. Ensure the internal air pressure of the dough mixer is balanced to make the flour feeding and mixing process smoother. Attached Figure Description

One end of the cloth bag pipe 41 is sleeved on the outside of the receiving pipe 4, and the other end is sleeved on the outside of the feeding pipe 5. The two ends are respectively locked to the receiving pipe 4 and the feeding pipe 5 by clamps.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The upper part of the machine body 1 is also equipped with a vent pipe 6. A flexible pipe 61 is fixedly connected between the vent pipe 6 and the machine body 1. One end of the flexible pipe 61 is connected to the inside of the machine body 1, and the other end is connected to the vent pipe 6. The vent pipe 6 extends to the outside of the factory building and is used to balance the air pressure inside the machine body 1.

[0030] The receiving pipe 4 is generally a tubular structure made of rigid plastic or metal. The diameter of the receiving pipe 4 is determined according to the feeding requirements of the dough mixer. The receiving pipe 4 is used to introduce the flour conveyed by the feeding pipe 5 into the machine body 1.

[0031] To facilitate the flow of flour through the feed pipe 5, an observation window 51 is provided on the feed pipe 5. An observation opening is provided on the side wall of the feed pipe 5. The observation window 51 includes a fixed half-ring 511 fixedly connected to the edge of the observation opening, located below the observation opening. A rotating half-ring 512 is hinged to one end of the fixed half-ring 511, located above the observation opening. The fixed half-ring 511 and the rotating half-ring 512 are typically made of plastic or metal. Each of their adjacent sides has a snap-fit ​​groove 5111, within which a transparent plate 513, typically made of glass or transparent plastic, is snapped into place to seal the observation opening.

[0032] A locking member 52 is connected to the fixed half-ring 511 to lock the fixed half-ring 511 and the rotating half-ring 512. The locking member 52 includes a threaded rod 521 hinged to one end of the fixed half-ring 511. The rotating half-ring 512 has a locking port 5121 at one end near the threaded rod 521.

[0037] A water inlet pipe 7 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the machine body 1. The water inlet pipe 7 is arranged horizontally, and several nozzles 71 are installed on the side wall of the water inlet pipe 7. One end of the water inlet pipe 7 passes through the side wall of the machine body 1 and is connected to a water inlet mechanism. The water inlet mechanism can be a water pump or a faucet, etc. Water can be evenly sprayed onto the flour inside the machine body 1 through the nozzles 71 to improve the mixing effect.

[0038] The implementation principle of a high-efficiency dough mixer according to this application embodiment is as follows: During the dough mixing process, firstly, the feed pipe 5 is opened, allowing flour to enter the machine body 1 through the feed pipe 5, the cloth bag pipe 41, and the receiving pipe 4. The operator can observe the flour feeding situation through the observation window 51 on the feed pipe 5. Next, the water inlet mechanism is activated, and water is evenly sprayed onto the flour inside the machine body 1 through the water inlet pipe 7 and the nozzle 71. The stirring mechanism 2 is activated, and the motor 21 drives the stirring shaft 22 and the stirring blades 23 to rotate, stirring the flour and water inside the machine body 1. During the stirring process, the operator can observe the stirring situation inside the machine body 1 through the observation window 32 on the door 3. After stirring is completed, the valve on the discharge pipe 12 is opened to discharge the kneaded dough. At the same time, the vent pipe 6 ensures the air pressure balance inside and outside the machine body 1, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire dough mixing process.
