Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a processing apparatus for alum-free sweet potato vermicelli. Background Technology

[0002] After sweet potato vermicelli is extruded and shaped, the processed vermicelli is at a high temperature and needs to be cooled before the next freezing process. Traditional cooling methods include natural cooling, air cooling, and water cooling.

[0003] However, in existing devices, the noodles are often concentrated together after being extruded. The air-cooling method can only cool the noodles on the outside, while the noodles wrapped on the inside cannot be effectively cooled. Therefore, there is a problem of uneven cooling of the noodles. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an alum-free sweet potato vermicelli processing device to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A processing device for alum-free sweet potato vermicelli includes a machine base with an extrusion module and an air-cooling module on its side. A dispersing mechanism and a driving mechanism are located between the extrusion module and the air-cooling module. The dispersing mechanism includes two mounting components, with multiple telescopic components between them. A first transmission component is located between adjacent telescopic components. One mounting component has a driving member, and the output end of the driving member has a second transmission component. The first transmission component and the second transmission component are in transmission cooperation. Each telescopic component includes a rotating shaft with a first annular member at its center. Elastic spiral plates are located on both sides of the first annular member, and a second annular member is located at the end of each elastic spiral plate away from the first annular member. The driving mechanism includes a pipe with a threaded rod and a slide rail inside. A threaded sleeve is mounted on the threaded rod and slidably connected to the slide rail. A driving rod is mounted on the threaded sleeve, and a connecting plate is located at the end of the driving rod away from the threaded sleeve. A connecting rod is located between the second annular member and the connecting plate.

[0007] Preferably, the installation assembly includes a first rod and a second rod, the second rod being an arc-shaped structure, and two first rods being provided, which are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the second rod. The end of the first rod away from the second rod is fixedly connected to the pipe fitting.

[0008] Preferably, the telescopic components are arranged at equal intervals along the second rod, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the second rod, the first annular component is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, the second annular component is slidably connected to the rotating shaft, the two ends of the elastic spiral plate are fixedly connected to the first annular component and the second annular component respectively, and the elastic spiral plate is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft.

[0009] Preferably, the driving component is fixedly connected to the mounting assembly, and both the first transmission assembly and the second transmission assembly are belt-pulley structures.

[0010] Preferably, the pipe is a rectangular tube, and the two first rods are fixedly connected to the top and side of the pipe, respectively.

[0011] Preferably, the threaded rod has two threaded grooves with opposite helical directions, and two threaded sleeves are provided. The two threaded sleeves are screwed into the two threaded grooves respectively, and the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the pipe.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the connecting rod is slidably connected to the outer periphery of the second annular component, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating shaft, connecting rod, threaded rod, and driving rod are all arranged in parallel.

[0014] Preferably, the threaded rod is provided with a worm gear, the top of the pipe is provided with a through hole, a worm is provided in the through hole and meshes with the worm gear, the worm is rotatably connected to the pipe, and one end of the worm is provided with a crank handle.

[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. This application incorporates a dispersing mechanism with multiple telescopic components arranged in an arc shape at equal intervals. Each telescopic component includes a rotating shaft and elastic spiral blades. During processing, the extruded vermicelli passes through the rotating shaft, which in turn drives the elastic spiral blades to rotate. The rotation of the elastic spiral blades moves the concentrating vermicelli towards both ends of the rotating shaft. The combined action of multiple telescopic components ensures that the vermicelli is completely spread out, thus achieving uniform cooling during the cooling process and reducing uneven heating of the vermicelli.

[0017] 2. This application incorporates a drive mechanism comprising a threaded rod, a threaded sleeve, a worm gear, and a worm. The rotation of the worm gear drives the worm gear and the threaded rod to rotate synchronously, further causing the threaded sleeve to move along the slide rail. As the threaded sleeve moves, one end of the elastic spiral plate moves, thereby adjusting the length of the elastic spiral plate. Because the elastic spiral plate has elasticity, the spacing between adjacent spirals remains equal. Therefore, the drive mechanism can change the spiral spacing of the elastic spiral plate, thus adapting the device to vermicelli of different thicknesses.

[0018] 3. This application sets up a driving component, a first transmission component, and a second transmission component. The power of the driving component can drive the rotating shaft to rotate through the first transmission component and the second transmission component, and make all the rotating shafts rotate synchronously. This allows the noodles to move at a uniform speed to both ends of the rotating shaft, so that the noodles are evenly spread out and the cooling uniformity is improved.

[0019] 4. By setting up a worm gear and worm structure, the worm gear and worm have self-locking characteristics, so the length of the elastic spiral blade can be maintained, which is not only convenient to adjust, but also easy to control, effectively reducing the learning cost and maintenance cost of the device.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-7 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0031] A processing device for alum-free sweet potato vermicelli includes a machine base 1, an extrusion module 2 on the machine base 1, an air-cooling module 3 on the side of the machine base 1, and a dispersing mechanism and a driving mechanism between the extrusion module 2 and the air-cooling module 3.

[0032] Specifically, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the dispersing mechanism includes two mounting components, with multiple telescopic components positioned between them. A first transmission component 12 is positioned between adjacent telescopic components. One mounting component has a drive element 13, and the output end of the drive element 13 has a second transmission component 14. The first transmission component 12 and the second transmission component 14 are in a transmission engagement. Each mounting component includes a first rod 5 and a second rod 6. The second rod 6 has an arc-shaped structure. Two first rods 5 are provided and fixedly connected to the two ends of the second rod 6. The end of the first rod 5 furthest from the second rod 6 is fixedly connected to a pipe 4. The mounting components provide support for the telescopic components, allowing the concentrated fans to be evenly dispersed.

[0033] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the telescopic assembly includes a rotating shaft 7, a first annular member 8 at the middle of the rotating shaft 7, elastic spiral plates 9 on both sides of the first annular member 8, and a second annular member 10 at the end of the elastic spiral plate 9 away from the first annular member 8. The telescopic assembly is evenly spaced along the second rod 6. The rotating shaft 7 is rotatably connected to the second rod 6, the first annular member 8 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 7, and the second annular member 10 is slidably connected to the rotating shaft 7. The two ends of the elastic spiral plates 9 are fixedly connected to the first annular member 8 and the second annular member 10, respectively, and the elastic spiral plates 9 are sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 7. Two elastic spiral plates 9 are provided on one rotating shaft 7, and the spiral directions of the two elastic spiral plates 9 are opposite, thus allowing the concentrated noodles to be moved to both ends of the rotating shaft 7.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drive component 13 is fixedly connected to the mounting assembly, and both the first transmission assembly 12 and the second transmission assembly 14 are belt-pulley structures. The first transmission assembly 12 can allow all the rotating shafts 7 to rotate synchronously, and the second transmission assembly 14 can drive the first transmission assembly 12.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the drive mechanism includes a pipe fitting 4. Inside the pipe fitting 4 are a threaded rod 15 and a slide rail 17. A threaded sleeve 16 is mounted on the threaded rod 15, and the threaded sleeve 16 is slidably connected to the slide rail 17. A drive rod 18 is mounted on the threaded sleeve 16, and a connecting plate 23 is mounted at the end of the drive rod 18 away from the threaded sleeve 16. A connecting rod 11 is mounted between the second annular component 10 and the connecting plate 23. The threaded rod 15 has two threaded grooves with opposite helical directions. Two threaded sleeves 16 are provided, each screwed into one of the two threaded grooves. The threaded rod 15 is rotatably connected to the pipe fitting 4. A worm gear 19 is mounted on the threaded rod 15. A through hole 22 is provided at the top of the pipe fitting 4, and a worm 20, which meshes with the worm gear 19, is mounted on the through hole 22. The worm 20 is rotatably connected to the pipe fitting 4, and a crank handle 21 is mounted at one end of the worm 20.

[0036] The crank handle 21 drives the worm gear 20 to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel 19 to rotate. The worm wheel 19 then drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate. The threaded sleeve 16 can move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 15 and along the slide rail 17. The threaded sleeve 16, drive rod 18, connecting plate 23, and connecting rod 11 are a whole. Therefore, the movement of the threaded sleeve 16 can drive the end of the elastic spiral plate 9 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the length of the elastic spiral plate 9. Since the elastic spiral plate 9 is elastic, the spacing between adjacent spirals remains the same when its length is adjusted due to the elastic force. Therefore, by adjusting the length of the elastic spiral plate 9, it can be adapted to vermicelli of different thicknesses.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, fitting 4 is a rectangular tube, and two first rods 5 are fixedly connected to the top and side of fitting 4, respectively. Fitting 4 is used to accommodate threaded rod 15 and threaded sleeve 16, and can provide protection. One end of connecting rod 11 is slidably connected to the outer circumference of second annular part 10, and the other end is fixedly connected to connecting plate 23. Rotating shaft 7, connecting rod 11, threaded rod 15 and driving rod 18 are all arranged in parallel. The parallel arrangement allows driving rod 18 to drive connecting rod 11 to move axially along rotating shaft 7.

[0038] In summary, the alum-free sweet potato vermicelli processing device provided in this embodiment, during use, the extrusion module 2 extrudes the vermicelli, and the driving component 13 drives multiple rotating shafts 7 to rotate synchronously through the first transmission component 12 and the second transmission component 14. The rotating shafts 7 drive the elastic spiral plates 9 to rotate synchronously, and the elastic spiral plates 9 move the vermicelli to both ends of the rotating shafts 7, thereby gradually spreading the vermicelli. Subsequently, the vermicelli is cooled down by the air-cooling module 3.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
