Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of intelligent control food equipment manufacturing, and particularly relates to a separable intelligent discharging mechanism for food processing. Background Art

[0002] At present, the processing of food is booming, and high-end processing equipment in the food field has also emerged. There are various existing food processing methods; currently, crispy foods are more popular. Generally, grains are heated and pressurized by food processing equipment, and then suddenly depressurized to make the grains expand, so that the food shows the characteristics of being porous, expanded, and crispy, with a light and crispy taste and high digestibility. It is not only healthy but also has good palatability with a crispy and fluffy texture; generally, a puffing device is used to make food. Its structure generally includes a mold frame, an upper pressure block, and a lower pressure block. The mold frame is provided with a heating and pressurizing channel that penetrates up and down. Grains are fed into the heating and pressurizing channel, and the heating and pressurizing channel is pressurized and heated by the upper pressure block and the lower pressure block. Then, the upper pressure block and the lower pressure block are separated to achieve cooling and pressure relief, so as to form the grains. When discharging the food, it is necessary to move the lower pressure block upward in the heating and pressurizing channel to push out the food. At this time, it is necessary to ensure that the upper end surface of the lower pressure block is flush with the outer side of the upper end surface of the heating and pressurizing channel. Then, the food is uniformly pushed out to the outside by an external push plate for discharging. However, it is necessary to ensure that the upper end surface of the pressure block is flush with the upper end surface of the heating and pressurizing channel. When the upper end surface of the pressure block is too low, the food will be blocked by the upper end surface of the heating and pressurizing channel. When the upper end surface of the pressure block is too high, the food will fall into or get stuck on the mold frame between the pressure blocks. In this way, the accuracy of making the upper end surface of the pressure block and the upper end surface of the heating and pressurizing channel flush is relatively high, making product debugging difficult and assembly difficult. At the same time, there is generally a small height difference between the upper end surface of the pressure block and the upper end surface of the heating and pressurizing channel, so that the food will be bumped when discharged. In this way, the appearance of the food has defects, and at the same time, food debris remains in the heating and pressurizing channel, which will adhere to subsequent products and affect the quality of subsequent products. Summary of the Invention

The rotating motor 81 drives one rotating support rod 83 to rotate through a rotating shaft.

[0027] As Figures 1 to 7As shown in the figure, in order to facilitate the synchronous driving of multiple mobile positioning columns 67 to achieve the integrated positioning of the separation block 63 and the rotary feeding die frame 62, further, the mobile positioning columns 67 located on both sides of the separation block 63 are fixedly connected through a strip-shaped linkage plate 91, and a strip-shaped linkage plate 91 is distributed on both sides of each of the multiple separation blocks 63 distributed front and back; the strip-shaped linkage plate 91 is slidably clamped under the rotary feeding die frame 62; a positioning motor 671 is respectively installed on the front and back sides of the lower side of the rotary feeding die frame 62; threaded holes are provided at both ends of the strip-shaped linkage plate 91, and the positioning motor 671 is threadedly connected to the threaded holes of the strip-shaped linkage plate 91 through a lead screw 672.

[0030] In the present invention, grains are fed into a plurality of heating and pressurizing channels 621 on a rotary feeding die frame 62 and the materials are supported by a separating block 63. Then, an upper driving module 7 drives the rotary feeding die frame 62, the separating block 63, a lower pressurizing block 64, a lower pressing plate 65, and a lower lifting mechanism 66 to move upward synchronously, so that the heating and pressurizing channels 621 are sleeved on an upper pressurizing block 5.

Finally, the upper driving module 7 drives the rotary feeding die frame 62, the separating block 63, the lower pressurizing block 64, the lower pressing plate 65, and the lower lifting mechanism 66 to move downward synchronously. At the same time, the lower lifting mechanism 66 drives the lower pressurizing block 64 and the separating block 63 to reset downward. Then, a positioning motor 671 drives a plurality of movable positioning posts 67 to move and clamp and position on both sides of the separating block 63, enabling the integral positioning of the separating block 63 and the rotary feeding die frame 62. Finally, a rotating assembly 8 drives the rotary feeding die frame 62 to rotate.
