[0034] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The pancake post-forming processing equipment provided in the present application is mainly used to process formed pancakes, wherein the formed pancakes refer to soft pancakes with a certain thickness formed on the griddle.

[0035] The pancake post-forming processing equipment includes a cutting and conveying device, a drying device and a packaging device. Among them, the cutting and conveying device includes a front conveyor belt 1, a cutting conveyor belt 2 and a cutter. The front conveyor belt 1 is used to receive the formed pancakes and transport them to the cutting conveyor belt 2. Specifically, the formed pancakes scraped off the griddle fall onto the front conveyor belt 1, and the front conveyor belt 1 transports the pancakes to the cutting conveyor belt 2. The discharge end of the front conveyor belt 1 is opposite to the feed end of the cutting conveyor belt 2, or the discharge end of the front conveyor belt 1 is located on the upper side of the feed end of the cutting conveyor belt 2.

[0036] The cutter is used to cut the pancakes on the cutting conveyor belt 2 whose moisture content is not less than the first preset value. Specifically, the cutter can cut the pancakes on the cutting conveyor belt 2 to cut them into a plurality of smaller pancakes. In addition, the cutter cuts the pancakes whose moisture content is not less than the first preset value to ensure that the pancakes are not yet dry and not easy to break and fall into pieces when cutting.

[0037] The drying device is used to dry the pancake until the water content is lower than the second preset value. Specifically, the drying device is used to dry the cut pancake until the water content is lower than the second preset value. The packaging device is used to package the dried pancake. Specifically, the packaging device can independently inflate and package one or more cut pancakes or pack one or more cut pancakes into boxes. The packaging box for containing the pancakes can be in any shape such as a cube or a cylinder, and the material of the packaging box can be plastic, paper, etc.

[0038] To prevent the pancakes from breaking during transportation.

[0039] As can be seen from the above, when the pancake forming post-processing equipment provided by the present application is used, the pancakes are cut after forming, dried after cutting, and finally packaged. In this way, the pancakes have a higher water content and are softer after forming and before drying, and are not easy to break and fall into pieces during the cutting process.

[0040] The water content of the pancake can be specifically the ratio of the weight of the water content of the pancake to the total mass of the pancake. The second preset value should be lower than the first preset value. Specifically, the first preset value is ≥15%. Of course, according to the actual situation, the first preset value can also be not less than 20%, not less than 25%, not less than 30%, not less than 50%, etc., which is not limited here. The second preset value is ≤5%. Of course, according to the actual situation, the second preset value can also be not more than 10%, not more than 8%, etc., which is not limited here.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the cutter may include a plurality of longitudinal cutters 5 and a plurality of transverse cutters 4, wherein the longitudinal cutters 5 extend along the length direction of the cutting conveyor belt 2, and the transverse cutters 4 extend along the width direction of the cutting conveyor belt 2. The plurality of longitudinal cutters 5 are arranged in parallel in sequence along the width direction of the cutting conveyor belt 2. The plurality of transverse cutters 4 are arranged in parallel in sequence along the length direction of the cutting conveyor belt 2. In this way, the plurality of longitudinal cutters 5 and the plurality of transverse cutters 4 can cut the pancake into a plurality of smaller square pancake pieces. Of course, according to actual conditions, the cutter may also be other structures, such as an annular cutter to cut into round pancake pieces.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, the longitudinal cutter 5 and the transverse cutter 4 can be fixed on the cutting conveyor belt 2. After the pancake is covered by the longitudinal cutter 5 and the transverse cutter 4 on the cutting conveyor belt 2, it is cut into a plurality of pancake pieces.

[0043] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the pancake post-forming processing equipment further includes a roller 7 and a roller driving member, wherein the roller 7 is located above the cutting conveyor belt 2, and the roller driving member is used to drive the roller 7 to rotate, and the roller 7 squeezes the pancakes covering the longitudinal cutter 5 and the transverse cutter 4 to complete the cutting. Of course, the pancake post-forming processing equipment may also include a pressing plate and a pressing plate driving member for driving the pressing plate to rise and fall, and the pressing plate squeezes the pancakes covering the longitudinal cutter 5 and the transverse cutter 4 downward to complete the cutting, which is not limited here.

[0044] In another embodiment, the cutting conveyor belt 2 includes support bars arranged in sequence along its length direction, and there is a gap between two adjacent support bars. A plurality of support bars are connected in sequence to form the cutting conveyor belt 2.

[0045] The pancake post-forming processing equipment also includes a belt conveyor with a knife, which is located on the inner side of the cutting conveyor 2. The outer side of the cutting conveyor 2 is a side for carrying pancakes, and the inner side of the cutting conveyor 2 is a side away from the pancake carrying side. In addition, the belt conveyor with a knife rotates synchronously with the cutting conveyor 2. The transverse cutter 4 is fixed on the belt conveyor with a knife, and when the belt conveyor with a knife rotates, the transverse cutter 4 is driven to rotate together. The transverse cutter 4 can pass through the gap between the two support bars and extend to the outer side of the cutting conveyor 2, so that the transverse cutter 4 can cut the pancake.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cutting conveyor belt 2 includes a first horizontal section and a second horizontal section located below the first horizontal section, and the two ends of the first horizontal section are connected to the two ends of the second horizontal section through two turning sections. Only the outer side of the first horizontal section is used to carry the pancakes, that is, only the upper side of the first horizontal section is used to carry the pancakes. Therefore, the transverse cutter 4 only passes through the gap between the two support bars of the first horizontal section. In the turning section, since the turning diameter of the belt-knife conveyor belt is smaller than the turning diameter of the cutting conveyor belt 2, the transverse cutter 4 retracts to the inner side of the cutting conveyor belt 2 when turning with the belt-knife conveyor belt.

[0047] In addition, the distance between the belt knife conveyor and the second horizontal section is greater than the distance between the belt knife conveyor and the first horizontal section, so that the transverse cutter 4 does not extend from the gap between the support strips of the second horizontal section.

[0048] In the above embodiment, the longitudinal cutter 5 is fixed on the cutting conveyor belt 2, and the longitudinal cutter 5 is provided with a first avoidance groove for the transverse cutter 4 to be inserted; the transverse cutter 4 is provided with a second avoidance groove for the longitudinal cutter 5 to be inserted. Specifically, when the longitudinal cutter 5 and the transverse cutter 4 intersect, the longitudinal cutter 5 is inserted into the second avoidance groove, and the transverse cutter 4 is inserted into the first avoidance groove. Of course, each transverse cutter 4 may also include a plurality of split blades, and there is a gap between the plurality of split blades for the longitudinal cutter 5 to be inserted, which is not limited here.

[0049] In another specific embodiment, the drying device may include a plurality of electric heating elements fixedly connected to the cutting conveyor belt 2. The electric heating elements may be located downstream of the roller 7 or the pressing plate so that the drying device dries the cut pancakes. The electric heating elements may be fixed to the inner side of the cutting conveyor belt 2 to prevent the cutting of the pancakes from being affected.

[0050] For ease of arrangement, the drying device can also be fixed above or below the cutting conveyor belt 2 to dry the pancakes on the cutting conveyor belt 2. Preferably, the drying device is only arranged above or below the first horizontal section. The drying device is specifically a fan or an electric heating element.

[0051] In order to facilitate the collection of the pancakes after cutting and drying, the pancake post-forming processing equipment further includes a rear conveyor belt 3 arranged downstream of the cutting conveyor belt 2 and a collecting trough 6 arranged downstream of the rear conveyor belt 3. The rear conveyor belt 3 is used to receive the pancakes discharged from the discharge end of the cutting conveyor belt 2, and the collecting trough 6 is used to collect the pancakes after cutting and drying. The rear conveyor belt 3 can be arranged lower than the cutting conveyor belt 2, and the pancakes on the rear conveyor belt 3 can fall into the collecting trough 6, and the pancakes in the collecting trough 6 can be transferred to the packaging device for packaging.

[0052] In another embodiment of the present application, a pancake post-forming processing process is also disclosed, comprising the steps of:

[0053] S1: Cutting, cutting the formed pancakes with a moisture content not less than a first preset value, wherein the first preset value is ≥15%.

[0054] Specifically, the pancake with a water content not less than a first preset value is cut into a plurality of smaller pancakes.

[0055] S2: Drying, drying the cut pancakes until the water content is lower than a second preset value, wherein the second preset value is ≤5%;

[0056] S3: Packaging: packaging the dried pancakes.

[0057] One or more cut pancakes can be individually air-packed or boxed to prevent the pancakes from breaking during transportation.

[0058] In the post-forming processing technology of the pancake provided by the present application, the pancake is cut after it is formed, dried after cutting, and finally packaged. In this way, the pancake has a higher water content and is softer after it is formed and before it is dried, and is not easy to break and fall into residue during the cutting process.
