Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a calendering pan machine, belonging to the field of food machinery. Background Technology

[0002] A hand-rolled noodle rolling and coiling machine is a piece of equipment used in the food processing industry, mainly for producing noodles, noodle sheets, and other pasta products. Rolling is a crucial step in noodle production, involving gradually thinning the dough through a series of rolling rollers to form a uniform sheet. This sheet then needs to be coiled into a specific shape for subsequent processing or cooking; this process is called coiling.

[0003] The hand-rolled dough sheet rolling and panning machine needs to gradually roll the dough sheet into a dough column before panning. Currently, there are manual panning and mechanical equipment panning.

A lead screw drive motor rotates the lower drive sprocket 88, which in turn drives the upper driven sprocket 89 via a chain, thus rotating the lead screw 96. A cylinder drives the rocker arm 90 to rotate. The rocker arm 90 is bolted to the paddle 107. When the rocker arm 90 rotates, it causes the paddle 107 to close and open with the lead screw 96. When closed, the lead screw 96 drives the paddle, causing the lower fixed seat 91 to swing left and right, thus causing the noodle container 102 to swing left and right. The noodle column passes through... The noodle-dispensing bucket 102 swings left and right, thus coiling into the rotating basin; the displacement sensor 97 is fastened to the connecting plate 94 with a nut; the left cylinder seat 98, the fixing plate 99, and the right cylinder seat 100 are fastened to the upper frame 86 with bolts to fix the cylinder and the displacement sensor 97; the noodle-dispensing bucket 102 is connected to the fixing frame 108 mounted on the upper frame through the positioning sleeve 103; the steering driven sprocket 109 is mounted on the steering device 105 with a key; the steering driven sprocket 110 is connected to the reduction drive motor with a key; the steering driven sprocket 110 and the steering driven sprocket 109 are connected by chain drive.

[0066] The automated tray-and-basin mechanism reduces manual operation and improves production efficiency and consistency. The basin positioning plate 84 is positioned along the circumference of the basin tray 83 to ensure precise positioning of the dough column during the tray-and-basin process. Through the cooperation of the lead screw 96 and its drive motor, the basin tray 83 can be precisely oscillated left and right to accommodate dough columns of different diameters.

[0067] Modular design and clear component layout make maintenance and replacement easier, helping to reduce downtime.

[0068] By using a cylinder to rotate the rocker arm 90, the machine can adapt to cylindrical surfaces of different lengths and shapes, increasing its adaptability and flexibility.

[0073] The frame of this invention is provided with front, middle, rear and tail guide components in sequence along the running direction of the conveyor belt, so as to realize the segmented and precise guidance of the conveyor belt.

[0074] The support frame 1 provides a solid foundation for the entire frame, ensuring the stable operation of each guiding component.

[0075] The continuous arrangement of front, middle, rear, and tail guide components ensures a smooth transition of the strip throughout the calendering and guiding process.

[0076] The working principle of this invention is:

[0077] The calendering mechanism works as follows: The dough strip first enters the first calendering assembly, where it is compressed and thinned by the relative rotation of the first upper pressure roller 23 and the first lower pressure roller 29, forming a preliminary dough column. The dough column then enters the second calendering assembly, where the assembly with the same structure further compresses the dough column, gradually adjusting its density and shape. The third and fourth calendering assemblies continue this process, and through a series of calendering rollers, the desired dough column is finally formed.

[0078] Function of the height adjustment mechanism: The first height adjustment mechanism, through the worm gear mechanism and pressure bar, allows the operator to manually adjust the height of the first upper pressure roller 23 to achieve precise control of the sheet thickness; the height adjustment mechanisms of the third and fourth calendering assemblies with similar structures allow the entire calendering process to be flexibly adjusted according to production needs.

[0079] The working of the tray mechanism: The dough column formed by rolling is transported to the tray mechanism. The tray positioning plate 84 on the tray tray 83 ensures the precise positioning of the dough column during the tray process. Through the cooperation of the lead screw 96 and the lead screw drive motor, the tray tray 83 swings left and right, driving the dough column to evenly wind around the rotating tray.

[0080] The functions of the frame guide components are as follows: The front guide component guides the dough strip correctly into the calendering mechanism, ensuring stable conveying of the dough strip; the middle guide component continues to guide the dough strip, ensuring a smooth transition during the calendering process; the rear guide component further ensures the stable and accurate guidance of the dough strip before it enters the tray mechanism. The tail guide component is responsible for smoothly exporting the coiled dough, completing the entire production process.

[0081] Automated control: Displacement sensor 97 monitors the working status of the tray mechanism to achieve automated control. The cooperation of cylinder and rocker arm 90 automates the winding process of the surface column.

[0082] Overall coordinated operation:

[0083] The dough strip is placed into the first set of calenders. The first drive motor drives the first lower pressure roller 29 to rotate, which in turn drives the first pulley 34 and the first drive gear 35 connected to the first lower pressure roller 29 to rotate. The first drive gear 35 drives the first driven gear 36, which in turn drives the first upper pressure roller 23 connected to the first driven gear 36 to rotate. The first pulley 34 drives the frame pulley 6 through an O-belt connection.

[0084] The second group of calenders operates in the same transmission mode as the first group: a third drive motor drives the third lower roller 53 to rotate, which in turn drives the third sprocket 59 and the third driving cylindrical gear 60 connected to the third lower roller 53 to rotate. The third driving cylindrical gear 60 drives the third driven cylindrical gear 61, which in turn drives the third upper roller 48 connected to the third driven cylindrical gear 61. The third sprocket 59 drives the fourth driving sprocket 73 via a chain, which in turn drives the fourth lower roller 68 connected to it, and then drives the fourth pulley 72 and the fourth driven sprocket 82. The fourth pulley 72 drives the fourth pulley 77 via an O-belt connection.

[0085] The geared motor drives the steering gear drive sprocket 110, which drives the steering gear driven sprocket 109 through a chain connection. The steering gear driven sprocket 109 drives the steering gear 105, which in turn drives the support wheel 106.

[0086] A reduction drive motor drives the lower drive sprocket 88, which in turn drives the upper driven sprocket 89 via a chain. This drives the lead screw 96, which in turn drives the lever 107, causing the sliding base plate 93 to move. A cylinder drives the rocker arm 90 and lever 107 to control the separation and closure of the rocker arm and lead screw 96. The sliding base plate 93 drives the lower fixed seat 91, which in turn moves the noodle container 102, completing the tray / basin action.
