Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a shaping device, in particular to a vermicelli and noodle shaping device and a shaping method. Background Art

[0002] The existing vermicelli and noodle shaping device is a device that uses a mechanical structure to insert a drying box to rotate the vermicelli and noodles. The rotation of the insert drives the vermicelli and noodles to form a regular rotation in the drying box, thereby forming a vortex-shaped powder cake or noodle cake on the surface of the vermicelli and noodles. In fact, the shaping effect of this shaping structure is not ideal. The insert rotates, and some vermicelli and noodles do not move, and the surface cannot form a vortex state. Some vermicelli and noodles will exceed the outside of the drying box and misalign when docking the drying box, causing the mechanical structure insert to directly collide with the drying box, causing machine failure and resulting in production suspension. There is another type of air-blowing rotary shaping mechanism fixed on the drying line on the market. When the drying box moves above the air-blowing rotary shaping mechanism, the fixed position of the rotary blowing starts to blow and shape, and the blowing continues until the current drying box passes. This air-blowing structure is easy to blow vermicelli and noodles outside the edge of the drying box because it performs air-blowing shaping in an open space, and the shaping effect is not ideal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The vermicelli and noodle shaping device shown includes a lifting motor, a lifting guide rail, a rotating motor, a transmission mechanism and a rotating rod mechanism. The power output shaft of the lifting motor is connected to the lifting guide rail, the guide rail is provided with a lifting seat, and the rotating motor is connected to the lifting seat through a lifting beam; the lifting beam is provided with a rotating air inlet joint; the upper end of the rotating rod mechanism is installed on the lifting beam, and the rotating rod mechanism is connected to the power output shaft of the rotating motor through a transmission mechanism; when shaping, the lower end of the rotating rod mechanism is inserted into a drying box to form a spinning chamber.

[0027] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, there are two lifting rails, which are connected by a transmission shaft, and the lifting rails are connected to the lifting motor through the transmission shaft. The lifting motor is installed through a mounting seat, and the lifting motor and the transmission shaft are connected through a coupling. Both ends of the lifting beam are connected to the two lifting rails through corresponding lifting seats, which ensures the stability of the rotary rod mechanism during lifting and moving, and ensures the shaping effect of the rotary rod mechanism. During shaping, compressed air enters the rotary rod mechanism from the rotating air intake joint, and then enters the spinning chamber from the rotary rod mechanism to form a rotating compressed airflow. This rotating compressed airflow shapes the vermicelli or noodles in the drying box. This uses airflow instead of traditional physical hardware for shaping, reduces the hard skin of vermicelli or noodles, and improves the shaping effect. At the same time, shaping is performed in a relatively sealed space, which can prevent vermicelli or noodles from splashing out of the drying box and reduce losses.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotary rod mechanism includes a rotary rod and a rotary drum matching with a drying box, the upper end of the rotary rod passes through a lifting beam and is connected to a rotating air inlet joint, and the inner channel of the rotary rod is connected to the rotating air inlet joint; the rod body of the rotary rod is connected to the power output shaft of a rotating motor through a transmission mechanism; the rotary drum is installed at the lower end of the rotary rod, and the lower end of the rotary drum is provided with an air outlet channel and an exhaust hole; the air outlet channel is connected to the inner channel of the rotary rod through a connecting pipe; when shaping, the rotary drum is inserted into the drying box to form a spinning chamber, and this spinning chamber and the rotating air inlet joint are connected in turn through the air outlet channel, the connecting pipe and the inner channel of the rotary rod; the exhaust hole is connected to the outside through the exhaust pipe. Specifically, as Figure 5 As shown, after the compressed air enters from the rotating air inlet joint, it passes through the inner channel of the rotating rod, the connecting pipe and the air outlet channel in sequence and enters the spinning chamber, forming a stable rotating compressed airflow in the spinning chamber, which is then discharged from the exhaust pipe. The distance from the air outlet channel to the rotating rod is greater than the distance from the exhaust hole to the rotating rod, and the rotating compressed airflow formed in the spinning chamber flows from the outside to the inside, so that the vermicelli or noodles in the drying box are brought closer to the middle, and then compressed and shaped by the rotating compressed airflow to form vermicelli cakes or noodle cakes.

[0029] There are multiple exhaust pipes, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the spinning rod. There are multiple air outlet channels, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the spinning rod. The exhaust pipes and air outlet channels are evenly distributed relative to the circumference of the spinning rod, which can ensure that the rotating compressed airflow formed in the spinning chamber flows stably, further ensuring that the vermicelli pancake and the noodle pancake have a good appearance.

[0030] There is an angle between the air outlet channel and the bottom surface of the rotary drum, and the angle is 10° to 80°. Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the air outlet channel is arranged at the lower end of the circumferential wall of the cyclone, and the air outlet channel is arranged inclined, that is, there is an angle between the air outlet channel and the bottom surface of the cyclone parallel to the horizontal plane. In this embodiment, the angle is 30°.

[0031] The rotating rod mechanism has multiple groups, and all the rotating rod mechanisms are evenly distributed along the axis of the lifting beam. Generally, the number of the rotating rod mechanisms is equal to the number of drying boxes in a row below, which can improve the shaping efficiency and meet the production needs.

[0032] The transmission mechanism includes a driving gear and a number of driven gears equal to the number of the rotating rod mechanisms, wherein the driving gear is mounted on the power output shaft of the rotating motor, and each driven gear is mounted on the rotating rod of the corresponding rotating rod mechanism, and each driven gear is meshed with each other in sequence, and one of the driven gears is meshed with the driving gear. This structure is simple, and only one rotating motor is used to drive each rotating rod mechanism to rotate synchronously at the same time, which ensures the shaping efficiency and reduces energy consumption.

[0033] The vermicelli and noodle shaping device also includes a transition cylinder mechanism, which includes a lifting cylinder, a lifting rod and a transition cylinder, the end of the lifting rod is installed on the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder, the transition cylinder is installed on the lifting rod, and each transition cylinder is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the corresponding spinning rod mechanism. The transition cylinder can guide the spinning cylinder and further ensure the relative sealing effect of the spinning chamber formed between the spinning cylinder and the drying box to ensure that the shaping work is carried out effectively.

[0034] A method for shaping vermicelli or noodles, wherein a shaping device and a drying box are used to form a spinning chamber, and a rotating compressed airflow is formed in the spinning chamber, and the rotating compressed airflow compresses the vermicelli or noodles in the drying box to form a vermicelli cake or a noodle cake. The shaping device is the vermicelli or noodle shaping device mentioned above. Specifically, the vermicelli or noodle shaping method uses airflow to compress and shape the vermicelli or noodles to replace the traditional rigid shaping rod, etc., so as to reduce the damage of the vermicelli or noodles, and the shaping process is carried out in a relatively closed spinning chamber, which can not only improve the shaping effect, but also prevent the vermicelli or noodles from falling from the drying box and reduce the loss.

[0035] The above specific implementation modes are preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the present invention. Any other changes or other equivalent replacement methods that do not deviate from the technical solution of the present invention are included in the protection scope of the present invention.
