Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an automatic steering and folding mechanism for face belts, belonging to the field of face belt folding technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of pastries, the kneaded dough needs to be conveyed and cut. However, during the conveying process, the thickness of the dough strip will decrease due to pulling and other factors. When cutting, the thickness will not meet the standard. Therefore, it is necessary to flip and fold the dough strip to increase its thickness. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Preferably, the top of the housing is provided with a sliding roller.
[0014] Preferably, support legs are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the housing.
[0015] The beneficial technical effects of the present invention are as follows: According to the automatic turning and folding mechanism of the dough belt of the present invention, by setting the turning component, the conveying direction of the incoming dough belt can be adjusted so that the entire direction is reversed when the dough belt falls onto the conveyor. During the continuous conveying, the dough belt is folded together. Adjusting the angle can increase the thickness of the dough belt through folding, and can also make the dough belt achieve different patterns through folding. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to understand the technical solution of the present invention more clearly, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited thereto.
[0024] like Figures 1-6 As shown, the automatic turning and folding dough strip mechanism provided in this embodiment includes a housing 2, a turning component 4 installed inside the housing 2, a conveyor 1 installed at the bottom outlet of the housing 2, and the turned dough strip is conveyed by the conveyor 1. Support legs 5 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the housing 2 to create space at the bottom of the housing 2, making it more convenient to place the conveyor 1 at the outlet. The turning component 4 turns and folds the incoming dough strip to increase the thickness of the dough strip. A sliding roller 3 is provided on the top of the housing 2 for easier entry of the dough strip.
[0025] The steering assembly 4 includes multiple brackets 6 connected together by connecting components 9. The cross-section of the brackets 6 is N-shaped. Guide rollers 7 are installed at both ends of the brackets 6. By adjusting the connection angle between different brackets 6 through the connecting components 9, the angle of the dough entering the steering assembly 4 can be gradually changed during the fall. When the dough is discharged, the angle of the dough is flipped, and it is in a flipped and folded state when it falls into the conveyor 1. Positioning rods 8 are installed on both sides of the brackets 6. When extended, they are fixed in the housing 2. At the same time, the positioning rods 8 can extend and retract, and are fixed in accordance with the angle between multiple brackets 6. It is more convenient to adjust the flipping angle. In addition, each bracket 6 has positioning rods 8 on both sides, which makes the installation more stable and the angle adjustment more free.
[0026] The connecting assembly 9 includes two rotatably connected plates. A rod is installed on one end of each plate, and a hole is installed on the other end. The two plates are rotatably connected together by the rod and the hole. At the same time, the hole on one end of one plate is connected to the second post 10 on the bracket 6, and the rod on the other plate is connected to the hole on the bracket 6. This hole is located on the opposite side of the second post 10, which facilitates the connection of multiple brackets 6 and provides a high degree of freedom, making it easy to adjust the angle of the bracket 6 and to flip and fold the strap.
[0027] The positioning rod 8 includes a threaded sleeve 802. One end of the threaded sleeve 802 is fitted with a first insert 801 that is inserted into the bracket 6. The other end of the threaded sleeve 802 is threadedly connected to a screw 803. A rubber pad 805 is fitted on the outer end of the screw 803. A handle 804 is provided between the screw 803 and the rubber pad 805 for easy rotation. Anti-slip protrusions 806 are fitted on the side of the rubber pad 805 for greater stability when in contact with the inner wall of the housing 2.
[0028] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-6 The working process of the automatic steering and folding mechanism for face belts provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0029] The dough strip that needs to be folded enters the steering assembly 4 through the positioning rod 8. After passing through the guide rollers 7 at different angles in the steering assembly 4, the angle of the dough strip changes slowly. When it falls onto the conveyor 1, the dough strip flips over and is folded. During the flipping, the support 6 at different positions can also be adjusted by adjusting the positioning rod 8.
[0030] In summary, in this embodiment, the automatic turning and folding mechanism of the dough belt according to this embodiment can adjust the conveying direction of the incoming dough belt by setting the turning component 4, so that the entire direction is reversed when the dough belt falls onto the conveyor 1. During the continuous conveying, the dough belt is folded together. Adjusting the angle can increase the thickness of the dough belt through folding, and can also make the dough belt achieve different patterns through folding.
[0031] The above description is merely a further embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and concept of the present invention, shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
