Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of rice noodle processing equipment, and in particular relates to a convenient bowl rice noodle rolling, forming and drying equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Rice noodles are long, thin, noodle-like foods made primarily from rice. They are a healthy and green food, widely favored by consumers. Conventional rice noodles are made through a series of complex processes including washing, soaking and fermentation, grinding, steaming, extruding, steaming again, cooling, and washing. This process is subject to many limitations. In recent years, instant rice noodles have become popular due to their convenience; they only require scalding with hot water before consumption. The production process for instant rice noodles mainly includes: dough preparation, mixing, rolling raw dough, cutting and extruding, steaming and oiling, cutting into portions, placing individual portions in boxes, frying and draining oil or puffing and drying, cooling, inspection, placing seasoning packets, packaging, and secondary quality inspection.

[0003] In the prior art, patent document with publication number "CN110801044B" discloses an automated production equipment for constant-temperature cooked instant rice noodles, including a constant-temperature oven, heat exchange tubes, a hot water tank, and a mixing cylinder. The constant-temperature oven is connected to both ends of the heat exchange tubes. The outer surface of the hot water tank abuts against the middle of the heat exchange tubes. An induced draft fan is installed inside the heat exchange tubes, positioned behind the hot water tank along the airflow direction within the heat exchange tubes. A feeder, conveyor, and discharge machine are installed inside the constant-temperature oven. The feeder and discharge machine extend out through air outlets. A feeding pump is connected to the bottom of the mixing cylinder, and a slurry delivery pipe is connected to the outlet of the feeding pump, with the end of the slurry delivery pipe aligned with the upper surface of the feeder. Using the technical solution of this patent document, the dry air generated by the induced draft fan circulates within the constant-temperature oven and heat exchange tubes. This dry air cooks the rice noodle slurry, effectively preventing a large amount of moisture from condensing and adhering to the surface of the rice noodles during the cooking process, thus improving the quality of the rice noodles. However, existing instant rice noodles are generally produced in long strips, which are not convenient for packaging in paper bags or bowls. The current packaging process for instant rice noodles still relies heavily on manual labor, resulting in low packaging efficiency and high labor intensity. Therefore, in order to automate the packaging of the produced strip-shaped instant rice noodles, it is urgent to develop a new type of packaging equipment that can roll the strip-shaped instant rice noodles into cylindrical bowls, so that the cylindrical bowls can be quickly filled into paper bags or bowls. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a convenient bowl rice noodle rolling, forming and drying equipment.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions.

[0006] This invention provides a convenient rice noodle winding, forming, and drying device, comprising a frame, a rice noodle carrier net, multiple trays, a rice noodle winding device, and a drive mechanism. The rice noodle winding device includes a winding gear, which is mounted on the frame using bearings. The winding gear is also fixedly connected to a winding shaft, which is fixedly connected to a spiral guide plate. The trays are fixedly connected to rice noodle carrier cylinders. The upper end of the guide plate is aligned with the end of the rice noodle carrier net, and the lower end of the guide plate is aligned with the top of at least one rice noodle carrier cylinder. The drive mechanism is used to transport the rice noodles from one end of the rice noodle carrier net to the other end. The rice noodle winding device is used to wind the rice noodles into a cylindrical rice noodle container. The rice noodle carrier cylinder is used to receive and hold the rice noodles. The drive mechanism is also used to output the rice noodles outward along with the trays.

[0007] Each tray is fixedly connected to multiple bowl powder carriers, which are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the tray. There are multiple spiral gears, and adjacent spiral gears mesh together.

[0008] Each tray surface is also equipped with multiple heat conduction holes.

[0009] The inner wall of the bowl-shaped powder carrier is also provided with several top protrusions.

[0010] The powder rolling device also includes a powder rolling motor, which is mounted on the frame. The output shaft of the powder rolling motor is fixedly connected to the drive gear A, and the drive gear A meshes with the rolling gear.

[0011] The drive mechanism includes multiple sprockets A and multiple sprockets B. The sprockets A and B are respectively mounted on the frame using bearings. All sprockets A are connected together by a closed-loop chain A, and all sprockets B are connected together by a closed-loop chain B. The powder carrier net or tray is fixed between chain A and chain B.

[0012] The drive mechanism also includes a powder feeding motor and an incomplete gear. The powder feeding motor is mounted on the frame, and the incomplete gear is mounted on the frame using bearings. The output shaft of the powder feeding motor is fixedly connected to the drive gear B. The drive gear B meshes with the incomplete gear. The incomplete gear is also coaxially fixedly connected to the drive sprocket. The drive sprocket meshes with at least one sprocket A or at least one sprocket B through a transmission chain.

[0013] A wheel axle is also fixedly connected between sprocket A and sprocket B.

[0014] The convenient bowl rice noodle rolling and drying equipment also includes a knife and a cylindrical knife roller. The knife roller is mounted on the frame by means of bearings and is arranged above the rice noodle carrier. One side of the knife is fixed to the surface of the knife roller, and the other side of the knife extends outward along the radial direction of the knife roller, with its end serving as a cutting edge.

[0015] A cutting motor is also installed on the frame, and the output shaft of the cutting motor is fixedly connected to the cutter roller.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: Using the technical solution of this invention, strip-shaped rice noodles are conveyed through a rice noodle carrier. When the strip-shaped rice noodles are conveyed to the edge of the carrier, they fall onto the surface of the guide plate under their own gravity and slide down along the guide plate. Because the guide plate has a spiral structure, the strip-shaped rice noodles are rolled into a cylindrical shape and finally fall into the bowl-shaped rice noodle carrier. They are then conveyed outwards along with the tray. During the conveying process, airflow is introduced by a fan. When the airflow passes through the heating element, it forms a hot airflow. This hot airflow dries the cylindrical instant rice noodles, making them easy to pack into paper bags or paper bowls. This invention has the advantages of reasonable structural design, strong practicality, and high degree of automation, significantly improving the automated production efficiency of instant rice noodles and reducing the labor intensity of packaging workers.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below, but the scope of protection is not limited to what is described.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a convenient rice noodle rolling and drying device of the present invention includes a frame 1, a rice noodle carrier 2, multiple trays 3, a rice noodle rolling device 4, and a drive mechanism 5. The rice noodle rolling device 4 includes a rolling gear 6, which is mounted on the frame 1 using bearings. The rolling gear 6 is also fixedly connected to a rolling shaft 7, which is fixedly connected to a spiral guide plate 8. The trays 3 are fixedly connected to a rice noodle carrier cylinder 9. The upper end of the guide plate 8 is aligned with the end of the rice noodle carrier 2, and the lower end of the guide plate 8 is aligned with the top of at least one rice noodle carrier cylinder 9. The drive mechanism 5 is used to transport the rice noodles from one end of the rice noodle carrier 2 to the other end. The rice noodle rolling device 4 is used to roll the rice noodles into a cylindrical rice noodle. The rice noodle carrier cylinder 9 is used to receive and hold the rice noodles. The drive mechanism 5 is also used to output the rice noodles outward along with the trays 3. The spiral guide plate 8 is preferably rotated around the roller 7 once or twice. A protective sleeve 31 is also welded and fixed to the edge of the guide plate 8 to prevent the rice noodles from falling off the edge of the guide plate 8 when they are rolled into shape.

[0026] The technical solution of this invention involves conveying strip-shaped rice noodles through a noodle carrier. When the rice noodles reach the edge of the carrier, they fall onto the surface of a guide plate under their own gravity and slide down the plate. Because the guide plate has a spiral structure, the rice noodles are rolled into a cylindrical shape and finally fall into a bowl-shaped carrier. During this process, airflow is introduced by a fan, and the airflow is heated by an electric heating element to form a hot airflow. This hot airflow dries the cylindrical rice noodles, making them easier to pack into paper bags or bowls. This invention has the advantages of reasonable structural design, strong practicality, and high degree of automation, significantly improving the efficiency of automated production of instant rice noodles and reducing the labor intensity of packaging workers.

[0027] Furthermore, each tray 3 is fixedly connected to multiple rice noodle carriers 9, which are arranged at equal intervals along the length of the tray 3. Multiple coiling gears 6 are present, with adjacent coiling gears 6 meshing together. The rice noodle coiling device 4 also includes a rice noodle coiling motor 11, mounted on the frame 1. The output shaft of the rice noodle coiling motor 11 is fixedly connected to a drive gear A12, which meshes with the coiling gears 6. This causes the strips of rice noodles on the surfaces of adjacent guide trays 8 to be coiled in opposite directions. Because adjacent coiling gears 6 mesh together and rotate, slippage and skipping of teeth do not occur during rotation, ensuring stable operation of the equipment.

[0028] In addition, each tray 3 has multiple heat-conducting holes on its surface. Using the technical solution of this invention, the cylindrical rice noodles are loaded into the bowl-shaped rice noodle carrier and conveyed outwards along with the tray. During the conveying process, airflow is introduced by a fan. When the airflow passes through the electric heating tube, it forms a hot airflow. The hot airflow dries the cylindrical instant rice noodles. After heat exchange with the cylindrical rice noodles, the hot airflow is finally discharged outside the equipment through the heat-conducting holes. The heat-conducting holes facilitate the uniform drying of the instant rice noodles by the hot airflow.

[0029] In addition, the rice noodle carrier 9 is made of cold-rolled thin steel sheet wound into a cylindrical shape. Several protrusions 10 are also provided on the inner wall of the rice noodle carrier 9. Preferably, the height between the protrusions 10 and the inner wall of the rice noodle carrier 9 is 5mm to 10mm. Using the technical solution of this invention, when the cylindrical shape facilitates the rice noodles falling into the rice noodle carrier, the protrusions 10 prevent some of the cylindrical rice noodles from completely falling to the bottom of the rice noodle carrier, thus keeping the cylindrical rice noodles in a sufficiently loose state, facilitating thorough drying by the hot airflow.

[0030] In addition, the drive mechanism 5 includes multiple sprockets A13 and multiple sprockets B14. Sprockets A13 and B14 are mounted on the frame 1 using bearings. All sprockets A13 are connected together by a closed-loop chain A15, and all sprockets B14 are connected together by a closed-loop chain B16. The rice noodle carrier 2 or tray 3 is fixed between the chain A15 and the chain B16. Due to the significant vibration of the chain drive mechanism, the rice noodle carrier 2 continuously vibrates on its surface when conveying rice noodles, thus maintaining a loose state and preventing the rice noodles from sticking together and clumping.

[0031] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 5 also includes a powder feeding motor 17 and an incomplete gear 18. The powder feeding motor 17 is mounted on the frame 1, and the incomplete gear 18 is mounted on the frame 1 using bearings. The output shaft of the powder feeding motor 17 is fixedly connected to the drive gear B19. The drive gear B19 and the incomplete gear 18 mesh with each other. The incomplete gear 18 is also coaxially fixedly connected to the drive sprocket 20. The drive sprocket 20 meshes with at least one sprocket A13 or at least one sprocket B14 via a transmission chain 21. Using the technical solution of this invention, the meshing of the drive gear B19 and the incomplete gear 18 allows the rice noodle carrier 2 to intermittently convey the rice noodles. When the rice noodle carrier 2 stops moving forward, the cutter 24 can cut the rice noodles into appropriate lengths, thus maintaining a constant mass of the cylindrical rice noodles falling into the bowl-shaped rice noodle carrier 9.

[0032] In addition, an axle 22 is fixedly connected between sprocket A13 and sprocket B14. A support shaft 23 is also fixedly connected between sprocket A13 and sprocket B14, and this support shaft 23 is also in contact with the rice noodle carrier 2 or the tray 3. The support shaft 23 provides local support for the rice noodle carrier 2, thereby preventing local collapse of the rice noodle carrier 2 and ensuring that the rice noodles are conveyed forward evenly.

[0033] Furthermore, the convenient rice noodle rolling and drying equipment also includes a blade 24 and a cylindrical blade roller 25. The blade roller 25 is mounted on the frame 1 using bearings and is arranged above the rice noodle carrier 2. One side of the blade 24 is fixedly connected to the surface of the blade roller 25, and the other side of the blade 24 extends outward along the radial direction of the blade roller 25, with its end serving as a cutting edge 26. Preferably, a cutting motor 27 is also mounted on the frame 1, and the output shaft of the cutting motor 27 is fixedly connected to the blade roller 25.

[0034] The convenient rice noodle rolling and drying equipment also includes multiple support plates 28. One side of the support plate 28 is welded to the surface of the cutter roller 25, and the other side of the support plate 28 is welded to the cutter 24. The support plates 28 are used to improve the rigidity of the cutter 24, thereby facilitating the cutter 24 to quickly and accurately cut the strip-shaped rice noodles to a specific length. Preferably, the material of the cutter 24 is stainless steel.

[0035] In addition, the rice noodle carrier 2 is made of woven stainless steel wire. The convenient bowl rice noodle rolling and drying equipment also includes multiple electric heating tubes 29 and multiple fans 30. The electric heating tubes 29 and fans 30 are all installed on the frame 1, and the fans 30, electric heating tubes 29 and bowl rice noodle carrier 9 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom.
