Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of natto production, and in particular to an automated device for filling and coating a material tray used in natto production. Background Art

[0002] Natto is a soy product made from soybeans fermented by Natto bacteria (Bacillus subtilis). Natto is sticky, has a smelly odor and a slightly sweet taste. It not only retains the nutritional value of soybeans, but is also rich in vitamin K2, which improves the digestion and absorption rate of protein. More importantly, natto produces a variety of physiologically active substances during the fermentation process, which have the health benefits of dissolving fibrin in the body and regulating other physiological functions. The main nutrients of natto include soy protein, fiber, vitamin K2, B vitamins and minerals. Among them, vitamin K2 plays a key role in calcium absorption and bone health. The soy protein in natto is a high-quality protein and is an ideal choice for vegetarians and people who pursue a high-protein diet. In addition, natto is also rich in dietary fiber and B vitamins, which help promote intestinal peristalsis and maintain body function balance.

[0003] During the production of natto, it is necessary to package and coat the film. The working principle is to evenly package the steamed soybeans into a tray through vibration, and then transport them to the packaging machine for packaging and coating through a crawler. This improves work efficiency during the production process while reducing microbial contamination. During the coating, the coating is not accurate, and it is easy to be misplaced or leaked, which affects the production quality of natto. The degree of automation is not high, the coating efficiency is not high, and the temperature of the cutter is not visible during coating. If the temperature is too high, the film is prone to wrinkles, and if the temperature is too low, it cannot be cut. Therefore, we propose an automated device for tray filling and coating for natto production. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an automated device for filling and coating a material tray for natto production, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0011] Preferably, a lower membrane transition roller is installed below the membrane transition baffle.

[0012] Preferably, a lower film pressure swing rod and a swing rod mounting shaft are respectively installed below the lower film transition roller.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] The temperature gauge is used to set the temperature of the cutter during sealing and cutting. The sealing and cutting time table is used to set the time required for sealing and cutting.

[0016] Turn on the power switch, the temperature gauge should show a value. According to the thickness of the shrink film, adjust the appropriate temperature. This temperature should be able to cut the film and keep the sealing effect intact. Too high a temperature will easily cause wrinkles in the film and shorten the service life of the electric heating components. Too low a temperature will affect the sealing effect or prevent it from cutting. When the value of the temperature gauge reaches the set value, press the inching sealing and cutting button on the operation panel. The first conveyor belt will automatically send the natto material tray to the front end of the sealing and cutting knife row. At this time, the natto material tray should be stable without obvious shaking. Then, the machine will automatically perform a pre-sealing and sealing and cutting test. If the sealing quality does not meet the requirements, the value of the temperature control gauge should be adjusted. Or the sealing time is reset, and the above operation is repeated until the sealing quality meets the requirements and the sealed and cut film can be separated in half, the cylinder drives the cutter to move down, cut the film, repeat the sealing and cutting work, reset, and enter the next packaging work. The device can realize the automatic laminating function, with good laminating alignment effect, no misalignment, no missing seals, and a high degree of automation, which can realize continuous laminating action with high efficiency. In addition, the heat shrinkable film is transmitted and guided by the upper second thin-wall support roller, the upper film transition roller, the middle film transition roller, the film transition baffle, the lower film transition roller, the lower film pressure swing rod, the swing rod mounting shaft, and the lower second thin-wall support roller, and the film will not be stuck.
