Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food machinery, and in particular to an automatic noodle-feeding device. Background Art

[0002] In the automated production process for stuffed foods, dough sheets are first produced to a certain width. These sheets are then fed to a cylindrical forming mechanism, which contains a filling injection tube. There, the dough sheets are formed into dough cylinders encasing the filling. These cylinders are then fed to a kneading mechanism to form foods such as dumplings. However, existing dough sheet conveying equipment requires manual work to roll the dough sheets and place them into the forming mechanism after shutdown and restart, preventing continuous dough feeding. This results in low efficiency and high labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides an automatic noodle feeding device to solve the technical problems of low working efficiency and high labor cost of the existing noodle belt conveying device.

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The specific implementation modes of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. However, the following examples are only used to illustrate the present invention in detail and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention in any way.

[0028] Example 1: An automatic noodle feeding device, see Figure 1 、 2 , 5, 6, including a bracket 1 and a forming mechanism 3. The forming mechanism 3 is installed below the conveyor belt 21. The conveyor belt 21 is installed obliquely upward on the vertical plate 11 on the bracket 1 through the mounting frame 22. The conveyor belt 21 is used to convey the dough strip. The forming mechanism 3 includes a middle fixed arc plate 31, a left movable arc plate 33, and a right movable arc plate 32. The left movable arc plate 33 is connected to a left driving arm 35 so that the left movable arc plate 33 can be opened to the left relative to the middle fixed arc plate 31. The right movable arc plate 32 is connected to a right driving arm 36 so that the right movable arc plate 32 can be opened to the right relative to the middle fixed arc plate 31. The middle fixed arc plate 31, the left movable arc plate 33, and the right movable arc plate 32 form a face column forming assembly with a cylindrical bottom and an arc-shaped opening at the top in a closed state. The diameter of the top arc-shaped opening of the face column forming assembly is larger than the diameter of the bottom cylinder. A Y-shaped opening 34 is provided on the upper part of the front side of the face column forming assembly, which is conducive to the smooth entry of the face belt into the face column forming assembly.

[0029] The thickness of both sides of the middle fixed arc plate 31 becomes thinner to form an upper overlapping part, and the inner sides of the left movable arc plate 33 and the right movable arc plate 32 become thinner to form a lower overlapping part. When the left movable arc plate 33 and the right movable arc plate 32 are in the closed state, the lower overlapping part is located behind the upper overlapping part of the middle fixed arc plate 31, ensuring that the middle fixed arc plate 31, the right movable arc plate 32, and the left movable arc plate 33 can be completely closed.

[0030] The left and right driving arms 35, 36 are driven by a push rod 39. The distal ends of the left and right driving arms 35, 36 are rotatably connected to a mounting plate 311, while their distal ends are fixedly connected to the left and right movable curved plates 33, 32, respectively. The distal ends of the left and right driving arms 35, 36 are rotatably connected to a left connecting arm 37, 38, respectively. The other ends of the left and right connecting arms 37, 38 are rotatably connected to a push rod 39, which is driven by a cylinder 310.

[0031] The dough sheet enters the forming mechanism 3 from top to bottom. Before the dough sheet comes down, the right movable arc plate 32 and the left movable arc plate 33 are opened to both sides. After the dough sheet comes down, the two arc plates are closed inward to form a cylindrical shape with a trumpet-shaped top. The forming mechanism 3 contains a filling injection pipe 312 that can automatically shape the dough sheet into a dough column wrapped with fillings. The above process does not require manual assistance, has a high degree of automation, and is highly efficient.

[0032] Example 2: See Figure 1 、 2 , 3, 4, as a further improvement of Example 1, it also includes a guiding mechanism 2, the forming mechanism 3 is located below the guiding mechanism 2, the guiding mechanism 2 includes a conveyor belt 21, an arc-shaped guide member 23, the arc-shaped guide member 23 is an oblate spherical shape, and a transverse rotating shaft 26 is installed below the end of the conveyor belt 21 through a rotating shaft bracket 24. The arc-shaped guide member 23 is fixed on the transverse rotating shaft 26. The side of the conveyor belt 21 is provided with a motor 25, and the motor 25 drives the transverse rotating shaft 26 and the arc-shaped guide member 23 to rotate counterclockwise through a belt 27. A noodle strip detection sensor 28 is also provided below the end of the conveyor belt 21, which can be an infrared sensor or the like. In addition, a noodle strip guide plate 29 is also provided below the end of the conveyor belt 21. The noodle strip guide plate 29 is provided above the noodle strip detection sensor 28, and the rotating shaft bracket 24 is slightly inclined outward. The noodle strip passes downward between the noodle strip guide plate 29 and the arc guide member 23 and is conveyed downward from behind the arc guide member 23. During the falling process of the noodle strip, the arc guide member 23 can pre-bend the noodle strip backward to facilitate the noodle strip to enter the forming mechanism 3.

[0033] Example 3: See Figure 1 、 27. As a further improvement to Example 1, the present invention further includes a noodle column conveying mechanism 4, comprising two conveying rollers, a right conveying roller 41 and a left conveying roller 42, that can rotate in opposite directions. Each conveying roller is a cylindrical structure that is thin in the middle and thick at both ends. The ends of the conveying rollers are connected to a front bevel gear 44. A rotating rod 46 is disposed behind the conveying rollers, on which a rear bevel gear 45 is mounted that meshes with the right and front bevel gears. Rotating rod 46 is driven by a motor. The front ends of the two conveying rollers are circular kneading blades 43. The sides of the circular kneading blades 43 are thinned to form circular cutters. The circular cutters on the two conveying rollers overlap and cut off excess dough from the noodle column. The overlapping cutters knead and seal the noodle column. The inner surfaces of the conveying rollers are curved to further shape the noodle column and exert a certain amount of pressure on the noodle column, facilitating downward conveyance of the noodle column and improving efficiency. After being formed in the noodle column conveying mechanism 4, the noodle column is conveyed to the kneading mechanism 5 below for making dumplings, buns, and other stuffed foods.
