[0029] Please refer to Figure 1-9 The noodle rolling machine 100 includes a frame 10, a noodle rolling mechanism 20 and a control mechanism 30. The control mechanism 30 and the noodle rolling mechanism 20 are both arranged on the frame 10, and the control mechanism 30 is used to control the noodle rolling mechanism 20.

[0030] The frame 10 includes a shell 11 and a frame 12. The shell 11 is arranged on the top of the frame 12. The shell 11 is made of acrylic material and is used to cover the wiring harness used in the control mechanism 30. The frame 12 is provided with a workbench 121 for placing dough.

[0031] The rolling mechanism 20 includes a robotic arm 21, a rotating frame 22, a synchronization rod 23 and a rolling pin 24. There are two groups of robotic arms 21, and both groups of robotic arms 21 include a first rotating arm 211 and a second rotating arm 212 that are rotatably connected. The size of the first rotating arm 211 is larger than the size of the connected second rotating arm 212.

[0032] The rotating frame 22 is located above the workbench 121 and the robotic arm 21. The rotating shaft 221 of the rotating frame 22 is rotatably mounted on the frame body 12 through a cross roller bearing. The rotating frame 22 is arranged along the width direction of the frame body 12, and the two ends of the rotating frame 22 in the length direction are respectively rotatably connected to the two first rotating arms 211.

[0033] Multiple synchronization rods 23 are arranged between the two second rotating arms 212. The ends of the two second rotating arms 212 away from the corresponding first rotating arms 211 are fixed with mounting plates 2121 by bolts. The two ends of the rolling pin 24 are respectively rotatably connected to the two mounting plates 2121. The rolling pin 24 is used to roll dough and is parallel to the synchronization rod 23.

[0034] The control mechanism 30 includes a display screen 31, a control module (not shown), a camera 32, a first motor assembly 33, a second motor assembly 34, a third motor assembly 35, a driver 36, and multiple sensor assemblies 37 for controlling the movement of the noodle rolling machine 100. The display screen 31 is electrically connected to the control module and is used to monitor the operation of the noodle rolling machine 100. The camera 32 is located at the bottom end of the rotating frame 22, facing the working direction. The camera 32 is electrically connected to the control module. In this embodiment, the camera 32 is a three-dimensional imaging camera. The first motor assembly 33 is located above the rotating frame 22 and controls the rotation of the rotating frame 22. The second motor assembly 34 is located inside the first rotating arm 211 and controls the rotation of the first rotating arm 211. The third motor assembly 35 is located inside the first rotating arm 211 and below the second motor assembly 34. The third motor assembly 35 controls the rotation of the second rotating arm 212. There are five drivers 36 , which respectively control the first motor assembly 33 , the second motor assembly 34 and the third motor assembly 35 .

[0035] The first motor assembly 33 includes a first motor 331 and a first right-angle reducer 332. A first transmission shaft 3311 of the first motor 331 is connected to the input end of the first right-angle reducer 332, and a first output shaft 3321 of the first right-angle reducer 332 is coaxially fixed to the rotating shaft 221 of the turret 22 via a flange coupling. The second motor assembly 34 includes a second motor 341 and a second right-angle reducer 342. A second transmission shaft 3411 of the second motor 341 is connected to the input end of the second right-angle reducer 342, and a second output shaft 3421 of the second right-angle reducer 342 is drivingly connected to both the first turret arm 211 and the turret 22. The third motor assembly 35 includes a third motor 351 and a third right-angle reducer 352. A third transmission shaft 3511 of the third motor 351 is connected to the input end of the third right-angle reducer 352, and a third output shaft 3521 of the third right-angle reducer 352 is drivingly connected to both the second turret arm 212 and the first turret arm 211. The control mechanism 30 further includes a motor housing 38 , which is disposed outside the second motor assembly 34 and the third motor assembly 35 .

[0036] The sensor assembly 37 includes five sensors 371 and shutter disks 372, corresponding to the actuator 36. The sensors 371 are mounted on the turret 22 and the two sets of robotic arms 21, respectively, to control the movement of the turret 22 and the two sets of robotic arms 21, ensuring that their movement does not exceed the size of the frame 12. In this embodiment, the sensors 371 are photoelectric sensors. Four shutter disks 372 are mounted on the two sets of robotic arms 21, corresponding to the four sensors 371 on the robotic arms 21.

[0037] The noodle rolling machine 100 proposed by the present invention operates as follows: When no dough is placed on the workbench 121, the rolling pin 24 is placed on the workbench 121. To roll the dough, the user places the dough on the workbench 121 and activates the camera 32 to capture the dough's appearance. First, the control module activates the second motor 341 via the corresponding driver 36. The second motor 341, after changing speed via the second right-angle reducer 342, drives the first rotating arm 211 to rotate upward, thereby driving the second rotating arm 212 to move upward along with the first rotating arm 211. The third motor 351 is then activated, after changing speed via the third right-angle reducer 352, to drive the second rotating arm 212 to swing downward until the second rotating arm 212 drives the rolling pin 24 to press against the dough.

[0038] Next, the second motor 341, after changing speed via the second right-angle reducer 342, drives the first rotating arm 211, causing the second rotating arm 212 to swing in a certain direction. The third motor 351, then via the third right-angle reducer 352, drives the second rotating arm 212 to swing in the same direction. This process is repeated until the dough is stretched into a dough sheet along this direction. During the rolling process, the camera 32 maintains a constant recording mode, monitoring the dough sheet's external features in real time. Once the camera 32 detects that the dough sheet's thickness along the first rotating arm 211's current swing direction meets the required thickness, the control module receives the information from the camera 32 and, after changing speed via the second motor 341 via the second right-angle reducer 342, controls the first rotating arm 211 to swing until the rolling pin 24 is positioned above the dough sheet. Then, the third motor 351 is started and the speed is changed through the third right-angle reducer 352, so that the second rotating arm 212 swings upward to leave the dough, and then the first motor 331 is started and the speed is changed through the first right-angle reducer 332, and the rotating frame 22 is driven to drive the first rotating arm 211 and the second rotating arm 212 to rotate as a whole along the vertical center axis of the frame body 12 until they rotate to above the part of the dough that has not been rolled.

[0039] After the first motor 331 changes speed through the first right-angle reducer 332, the rotating frame 22 is controlled to stop rotating. At this time, the second motor 341 is started. The second motor 341 causes the first rotating arm 21 to drive the second rotating arm 21 to swing upward as a whole through the second right-angle reducer 342. Then the third motor 351 is started. After the third motor 351 changes speed through the third right-angle reducer 352, it drives the second rotating arm 21 to swing downward until the rolling pin 24 is pressed onto the dough. Then the second motor 341 is started multiple times to cause the first rotating arm 211 to drive the second rotating arm 212 to swing. After the dough thickness in that direction reaches the requirement, the above process is repeated until the thickness of the dough in all directions reaches the requirement.

[0040] During the process of rolling the dough, the camera 32 is used to monitor the appearance characteristics of the dough, and the image information is transmitted to the control module. The first motor assembly 33, the second motor assembly 34 and the third motor assembly 35 then drive the rolling mechanism 20 to roll the dough, freeing people's hands and improving the degree of automation of rolling the dough.
