DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments in this application and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other, and the detailed description in the specific implementation method should be understood as an explanation of the purpose of this application and should not be regarded as an improper restriction on this application.

[0032] In the description of this application, the directions or positional relationships of "top", "bottom", "up", "down", "axial direction", "noodle conveying direction", and "vertical direction" are based on the attached Figure 1 Regarding the orientation or positional relationship shown, it should be understood that these orientation terms are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0033] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6In one aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a noodle shaping mechanism, comprising a shaping device 1. The shaping device 1 comprises at least two shaping wheel groups 11, each of which comprises a rotating shaft 112 and a shaping roller 111. The shaping roller 111 is coaxially sleeved on the rotating shaft 112. A shaping chute 111a extending in the circumferential direction and closed is formed on the circumferential surface of the shaping roller 111. The shaping chute 111a has an arc-shaped cross section along the radial direction of the shaping roller 111. The rotating shafts 112 in each shaping wheel group 11 are arranged in parallel at intervals so that the circumferential surfaces of the shaping rollers 111 of two adjacent shaping wheel groups 11 are tangent to each other. The shaping chute 111a of the two tangent shaping rollers 111 jointly surround a shaping through hole 111b for extruding the cross section of the noodles into a circular shape.

[0034] It can be understood that the cross-section of the shaping through hole 111b is circular. When the noodles pass through the shaping through hole 111b, the surface of the noodles can be evenly stressed at the same time, which reduces the probability of the noodles having a non-circular cross-section due to uneven or simultaneous stress during the shaping process, thereby achieving the roundness shaping of the noodles.

[0035] At least one of the two tangent shaping rollers 111 can rotate in the circumferential direction, and the noodles fit into the groove wall of the shaping chute 111a of the shaping roller 111. In this way, the rotating shaping roller 111 can drive the noodles to move through the friction between the groove wall of the shaping chute 111a and the noodles, so as to pass the noodles into the shaping through hole 111b from one side through which the shaping through hole 111b passes. After the noodles are shaped, they pass out from the other side through which the shaping through hole 111b passes, so as to realize the transportation of the noodles.

[0036] At least one of the two tangent shaping rollers 111 is continuously rotating, so that the portion of the shaping groove 111a forming the shaping through hole 11b is continuously changing, so that foreign matter entering the shaping through hole 111b can also be taken out with the rotation of the shaping roller 111, reducing the probability of foreign matter being blocked in the shaping through hole 111b.

[0037] The noodles pass through the shaping chute 111 a , and the groove walls on both sides of the shaping chute 111 a along the axial direction can limit the movement range of the noodles, thereby reducing the probability of the noodles being separated from the shaping roller 111 .

[0038] The movement path of the noodles before passing through the shaping through hole 111b is in a straight line with the projection of the shaping through hole 111b in the vertical direction. In this way, the noodles can pass through the shaping through hole 111b more smoothly and the probability of the noodles breaking is reduced.

[0039] The shaping through holes 111b are formed by two shaping rollers 111 respectively. During the later maintenance process, the shaping chutes 111a of the two can be cleaned and repaired respectively by disassembling any one of the shaping rollers 111, which is convenient for later maintenance and cleaning.

[0040] The specific cross-sectional shape of the shaping chute 111a along the radial direction of the shaping roller 111 is not limited. In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the shaping chute 111a along the radial direction of the shaping roller 111 is semicircular, so that the two shaping rollers 111 tangent to form the shaping through hole have the same size, thereby improving the versatility of the components.

[0041] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The shaping wheel group 11 includes multiple shaping rollers 111, each shaping roller 111 is arranged along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 112, and the cross-section of the shaping groove 111a of each shaping roller 111 has a different radius, so that multiple pairs of tangent shaping wheel groups 11 are formed between each shaping wheel group 11, and shaping through holes 111b with different sizes are formed between each pair of tangent shaping wheel groups 11.

[0042] The noodles will form circular cross-sections with different sizes when passing through the shaping through holes 111b of different sizes. In this way, the noodles can be selectively passed through different shaping through holes 111b according to the actual needs of customers to obtain circular noodles with different cross-sectional sizes.

[0043] Furthermore, shaping holes 111b of varying sizes allow shaping to be performed based on factors such as the thickness and hardness of the noodles before shaping. For example, if the noodles before shaping are relatively hard, difficult to deform, and prone to breakage, it is necessary to selectively insert the noodles into shaping holes 111b with similar cross-sectional dimensions. This allows shaping to occur with less deformation and squeezing force, reducing the chance of the noodles breaking due to excessive squeezing force.

[0044] The driving shaft 112 rotates, so that the shaping roller 111 is driven to rotate by the shaft 112 .

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 5 The rotating shaft 112 is connected to the shaping roller 111 by a key. A key groove 112b extending in the axial direction is formed on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 112. The rotating shaft 112 and the shaping roller 111 are circumferentially fixed by the key to prevent the rotating shaft 112 and the shaping roller 111 from relative movement in the circumferential direction, and the shaping roller 111 can be driven to rotate in the circumferential direction by controlling the rotating shaft 112 to rotate in the circumferential direction.

[0046] In some embodiments, see Figure 3The shaping device 1 also includes at least two limit members 13, which are arranged on the rotating shaft 112. The two sides of the shaping roller 111 along the axial direction are respectively in contact with a limit member 13 to limit the movement of the shaping roller 111 along the axial direction, thereby reducing the probability that the two shaping rollers 111 are misaligned and cannot form the shaping through hole 111b due to the movement of the shaping roller 111 along the axial direction.

[0047] It can be understood that the output end and input end of the noodles along the conveying direction of the noodles are fixed. In the projection along the vertical direction, the conveying path of the noodles from the input end through the shaped through hole 111b to the output end is a straight line along the conveying direction, thereby realizing a shorter path of conveyance, improving efficiency and saving time.

[0048] The specific installation method of the limiting member 13 on the rotating shaft 112 is not limited.

[0049] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 A plurality of limiting grooves 112a are formed on the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 112 and are spaced apart along the axial direction. The limiting grooves 112a extend circumferentially and are closed. The limiting member 13 is annular and is embedded in the limiting grooves 112a.

[0050] The stopper 13 is removable by being inserted into or removed from the stopper groove 112a. The customer can adjust the position of the shaping roller 111 on the rotating shaft 112 as needed, so that the vertical projection of the shaping chute 111a corresponding to the shaping through-hole 111b through which the noodles pass is aligned with the vertical projection of the noodle conveying path. The stopper 13 is then inserted into the corresponding stopper groove 112a to secure the shaping roller 111 axially, reducing the chance of the shaping roller 111 pulling the noodles axially and causing them to break.

[0051] In an embodiment in which shaping holes 111b of different sizes can be formed between the two shaping wheel groups 11, the limiting member 13 can be detachably removed from the limiting groove 112a so that the shaping roller 111 that can surround the shaping through hole 111b of the required size can be moved axially, so that the shaping chute 111a of the shaping roller 11 is projected in the vertical direction and the projection of the conveying path of the noodles in the vertical direction are on the same straight line, and then the limiting member 13 is embedded in the limiting grooves 112a on both sides of the shaping roller 111 along the axial direction, so that the two sides of the shaping roller 111 along the axial direction are respectively in contact with a limiting member 13 to limit the movement of the shaping roller 111 in the axial direction, thereby achieving the purpose of shaping the noodles into different sizes without changing the approximate conveying path of the noodles by adjusting the axial position of the shaping roller 111 with shaping chute 111a of different sizes.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 8 The noodle shaping mechanism includes a first supporting device 2 and a second supporting device 3. The first supporting device 2 and the second supporting device 3 are respectively arranged upstream and downstream of the shaping device 1 along the noodle conveying direction, and are both spaced apart from the shaping device 1. The first supporting device 2 forms a first supporting surface, and the second supporting device 3 forms a second supporting surface. The first supporting surface and the second supporting surface are both in contact with the noodles to support the noodles upward in the vertical direction.

[0053] By supporting the noodles, both the first and second support surfaces reduce the extent of tensile deformation caused by the noodles drooping under gravity. Furthermore, through contact and friction with the noodles, both surfaces reduce the vibration of the overhanging portion during conveyance, ensuring smooth and stable conveyance of the noodles.

[0054] The second supporting surface is located between the output end and the shaping device 1 and supports the shaped noodles upward in a vertical direction to better maintain the roundness of the shaped noodles.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 8 The first supporting device 2 includes a first wheel rod 21 and a first supporting wheel 22, and the first supporting wheel 22 is coaxially sleeved on the first wheel rod 21. The second supporting device 3 includes a second wheel rod 31 and a second supporting wheel 32, and the second supporting wheel 32 is sleeved on the second wheel rod 31. The first wheel rod 21, the second wheel rod 31 and each rotating shaft 112 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the first supporting wheel 22, the second supporting wheel 32 and each shaping roller 111 are all arranged in spaced apart along the conveying direction of the noodles. The circumferential surface of the first supporting wheel 22 is provided with a first groove 22a extending and closed along its circumference, and the groove wall at the top of the first groove 22a forms a first supporting surface. The circumferential surface of the second supporting wheel 32 is provided with a second groove 32a extending and closed along its circumference, and the groove wall at the top of the second groove 32a forms a second supporting surface.

[0056] The noodles pass through the first groove 22a and the second groove 32a and fit into the inner walls of the first groove 22a and the second groove 32a. The groove walls on both sides of the axial direction of the first groove 22a and the second groove 32a can limit the movement of the noodles in the axial direction, thereby guiding the noodles to move in the conveying direction and further reducing the shaking of the noodles during the conveying process.

[0057] In addition, the first support wheel 22, the second support wheel 32 and each shaping roller 111 are all arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the noodles, that is, the first support surface, the shaping through hole 111b and the second support surface are also arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the noodles. The first support surface and the second support surface can both guide the movement of the noodles along the conveying direction, and in the projection along the vertical direction, the first support surface, the shaping through hole 111b and the second support surface are all located in the same straight line. In this way, the projection along the vertical direction of the path of the noodles from the first support surface to the second support surface is a straight line along the conveying direction, so that the noodles can complete the shaping and conveying work in a shorter path, which can improve efficiency and save time.

[0058] The specific shape of the cross section of the first groove 22a along the radial direction of the first support wheel 22 is not limited. In some embodiments, the cross section of the first groove 22a along the radial direction of the first support wheel 22 is arc-shaped, and the first support surface fits the noodles. The first support surface can pre-shape the noodles to further improve the shaping effect of the noodles.

[0059] The specific cross-sectional shape of the second groove 32a along the radial direction of the second support wheel 32 is not limited. In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the second groove 32a along the radial direction of the second support wheel 32 is arc-shaped. It is understood that the shaped noodles are conveyed along the conveying direction across the second support surface. The second support surface can maintain the roundness of the shaped noodles and reduce the chance of deformation of the shaped noodles.

[0060] In an embodiment where shaping holes 111b of different sizes can be formed between the two shaping wheel assemblies 11, after the noodles are shaped through the different shaping holes 111b, they will also have circular cross-sections of different sizes, and the noodles after shaping must all be transported through the second support surface. Therefore, the cross-sectional radius of the second groove 32a is not less than the cross-sectional radius of the largest shaping chute 111a among all the shaping rollers 111. That is, after the noodles are shaped through the largest shaping hole 111b, the cross-sectional radius of the second groove 32a is not less than the cross-sectional radius of the shaping chute 111a that constitutes the largest shaping hole 111b. In this way, the noodles after shaping will not be squeezed and deformed by the second support surface, and the noodles can better maintain the roundness that customers actually require.

[0061] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 8 The noodle shaping mechanism includes a traction device 4, which is disposed between the first support device 2 and the shaping device 1. The traction device 4 has a traction surface that engages with the noodles to vertically tension them downward. In other words, the traction surface increases the tension of the noodles between the first support device 2 and the shaping device 1, reducing the chance of them wobbling during transport and ensuring smoother, more stable noodle transport.

[0062] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 8 The noodle shaping mechanism includes a traction device 4, which includes a third wheel rod 41 and a traction wheel 42. The traction wheel 42 is coaxially sleeved on the third wheel rod 41. The first supporting device 2, the traction device 4 and the shaping device 1 are arranged in sequence along the noodle conveying direction, and the third wheel rod 41 is parallel to the rotating shaft 112. The circumferential surface of the traction wheel 42 is provided with a third groove 42a extending along its circumference and closed. The groove wall at the bottom of the third groove 42a forms a traction surface, which fits the noodles and is lower than the first supporting surface and the shaping through hole 111b, so that the traction surface can tension the noodles downward in the vertical direction.

[0063] The noodles pass through the third groove 42a and fit against the inner wall of the third groove 42a. The groove walls of the third groove 42a on both sides along the axial direction can limit the movement of the noodles in the axial direction, thereby guiding the noodles to move in the conveying direction. The first support device 2, the traction device 4, and the shaping device 1 are arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the noodles. That is, the first support surface, the traction surface, the shaping through hole 111b, and the second support surface are also arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the noodles. In addition, when projected in the vertical direction, the four are located on the same straight line. In this way, the vertical projection of the path of the noodles from the first support surface to the second support surface is a straight line along the conveying direction, so that the noodles can be shaped and conveyed in a shorter path, which can improve efficiency and save time.

[0064] The specific shape of the cross section of the third groove 42a along the radial direction of the traction wheel 42 is not limited. In some embodiments, the cross section of the third groove 42a along the radial direction of the traction wheel 42 is arc-shaped, and the traction surface fits the noodles, and the traction surface can pre-shape the noodles.

[0065] It is understood that the shaped noodles will be separated from the shaping roller 111 along the conveying direction. The position where the shaping roller 111 and the shaped noodles are separated along the conveying direction is the separation position. The shaped noodles will be pulled and deformed by gravity during the conveying process from the separation position to the contact with the second support surface.

[0066] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The separation position where the shaping roller 111 separates from the shaped noodles along the conveying direction is on the same horizontal plane as the second supporting surface, so as to reduce the probability of the noodles conveyed between the separation position and the second supporting surface being stretched under the action of gravity, reduce the probability of the shaped noodles being deformed due to stretching, and better maintain the roundness of the shaped noodles.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to the figures, the noodle shaping mechanism includes a driving device, and each rotating shaft 112 is provided with a gear 12 at one axial end, and the gear 12 is drivingly connected to the driving device so that the driving device drives the gear 12 to rotate.

[0068] The driving device rotates by driving the gear 12, so that the gear 12 drives the rotating shaft 112 and the shaping roller 111 to rotate together, so that the shaping roller 111 can pull the noodles along the conveying direction to pass through the shaping through hole 111b to complete the shaping operation, and further output the shaped noodles along the conveying direction.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The gears 12 between the rotating shafts 112 are meshed with each other, and the driving device is connected to the gear 12 of one of the rotating shafts 112 for driving connection.

[0070] By driving the gear 12 of one shaft 112 to rotate, the gear 12 of the shaft 112 drives the gears 12 of other shafts 112 to rotate together through meshing, without the need for multiple driving devices to work synchronously, and the structure is simple and compact.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The noodle shaping mechanism includes a machine base 6, which includes two base components 61 and two mounting seats 62. The two base components 61 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 112. The two mounting seats 62 are respectively arranged on one base component 61 and are both detachably connected to the base component 61. The two ends of each rotating shaft 112 along the axial direction are respectively mounted on the mounting seats 62.

[0072] The shaping device 1 is set on the mounting seat 62 through the rotating shaft 112, so that the shaping device 1 can be removed from the base assembly 61 together with the mounting seat 62, which can facilitate cleaning and subsequent maintenance of the shaping device 1.

[0073] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The base assembly 61 includes an upper bracket 611, a middle bracket 612, and a lower bracket 613. The upper bracket 611 and the lower bracket 613 are spaced apart in the vertical direction and connected through the middle bracket 612. The upstream end of the upper bracket 611 along the conveying direction of the noodles is connected to the top of the middle bracket 612 to form a corner.

[0074] The mounting seat 62 includes a connecting section 621 and a mounting section 622. The mounting section 622 extends along the conveying direction of the noodles. The connecting section 621 extends along the vertical direction and is connected to the side of the middle bracket 612 away from the upper bracket 611. The mounting section 622 is arranged on the top of the upper bracket 611 so that the mounting seat 62 covers the corner, and the rotating shaft 112 is arranged on the mounting section 622.

[0075] The mounting base 62 is wrapped around the corner, serving to strengthen the structural strength of the connection between the center bracket 612 and the upper bracket 611, reducing the probability of the end of the upper bracket 611 away from the center bracket 612 being deformed downward under the action of its own gravity and the gravity of the components it carries, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the base assembly 61.

[0076] The specific connection method between the mounting base 62 and the base assembly 61 is not limited. In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The mounting seat 62 is connected to the base assembly 61 by bolts.

[0077] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The base 6 includes a motor base 63, which is connected to any mounting base 62. The motor base 63 includes a bottom plate 631 and a side plate 632. The bottom plate 631 extends along the conveying direction of the noodles and is spaced apart from the mounting section 622 in the vertical direction. The bottom plate 631 is connected to the mounting section 622 through the side plate 632. The driving device is arranged on the top surface of the bottom plate 631. The bottom plate 631 provides an installation position for the driving device. At the same time, the bottom plate 631 and the side plate 632 play a certain protective role for the driving device.

[0078] In some embodiments, the mounting section 622 and the bottom plate 631 are located on either side of the side plate 632 along the axial direction. The mounting base 62, which includes the motor base 63, is mounted on one base assembly 61, and the bottom plate 631 is located on the side of the side plate 632 that is closer to the other base assembly 61. This allows the drive device to be located between the two base assemblies 61, which can reduce the axial volume of the noodle shaping mechanism when projected along the vertical direction.

[0079] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 The second wheel rod 31 has two axial ends respectively mounted on the upper bracket 611, the first wheel rod 21 has two axial ends respectively mounted on the lower bracket 613, and the third wheel rod 41 has two axial ends respectively mounted on the lower bracket 613. The mounting position of the first wheel rod 21 is higher than the mounting position of the third wheel rod 41 in the vertical direction, and the mounting position of the first wheel rod 21 is located upstream of the mounting position of the third wheel rod 41 in the conveying direction of the noodles. The mounting position of the second wheel rod 31 is located downstream of the end of the mounting section 622 away from the connecting section 621 in the conveying direction of the noodles.

[0080] The first supporting surface of the first supporting wheel 22 and the shaping through hole 111 b are both higher than the traction surface of the traction wheel 42 in the vertical direction.

[0081] The noodles are conveyed downward from the first support surface to the traction surface, then upwardly conveyed to the shaping holes 111b on the traction surface. After being shaped through shaping holes 111b, the noodles are horizontally conveyed to the second support surface through a separation point, completing the complete shaping and conveying operation. The traction surface tensions the noodles vertically downward, appropriately increasing the tension between the first support device 2 and the shaping device 1. This reduces the chance of noodles wobbling during conveyance and ensures smoother and more stable conveyance.

[0082] The specific connection method between each rotating shaft 112 and the machine base 6, the first wheel rod 21 and the machine base 6, the second wheel rod 31 and the machine base 6, and the third wheel rod 41 and the machine base 6 is not limited and can be a direct connection or an indirect connection. In some embodiments, both ends of each rotating shaft 112, the first wheel rod 21, the second wheel rod 31, and the third wheel rod 41 along the axial direction are connected to the machine base 6 via a bearing seat 5. The bearing seat 5 is provided with a bearing. The inner ring of the bearing is fixed to the rotating shaft 112, the first wheel rod 21, the second wheel rod 31, and the third wheel rod 41, respectively, and the outer ring of the bearing is fixed to the machine base 6 to reduce rotational friction.

[0083] The various embodiments / implementations provided in this application can be combined with each other without causing any contradiction.

[0084] The foregoing description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations are possible. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
