Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a noodle rod recovery and cleaning device, in particular to a noodle rod cleaning machine. Background Art

[0002] The remarkable features of dried noodles are that they are rich in nutrition, easy to eat and absorb, and economical, making them one of the most popular pasta foods among consumers. The production process of dried noodles requires multiple steps such as noodle making, kneading, rolling, cutting and drying.

[0003] Dried noodles are obtained by hanging wet noodles on noodle rods and drying them. During the production process, the wet noodles hanging on the noodle rods, driven by chains, slowly pass through the drying room. After reaching a certain level, the noodles are laid flat and cut according to production specifications using a cutting machine. Finally, the noodles are measured and packaged, and the noodle rods fall into the noodle rod bin of the noodle cutter. Therefore, some noodle heads will be attached to the noodle rods, which will affect their reuse. The noodle heads attached to the noodle rods are difficult to clean and need to be cleaned one by one on site manually. Such a noodle rod cleaning workflow increases production costs, makes the reuse efficiency of noodle rods low, and greatly slows down work efficiency, making it difficult to meet the needs of noodle automated production lines.

[0004] The prior art patent number CN210012272U discloses a noodle rod cleaning machine. The technology is to set a cleaning channel between the noodle rod collection box and the cutting machine. When the noodle rod passes through the cleaning channel, an independent motor drives the active roller to rotate, and the active roller drives the cleaning belt. The nozzle, scraper and brush on the cleaning belt clean the noodle rod. However, the noodle rod cleaning device occupies a large area, the cleaning belt is difficult to disassemble, clean and replace, and some noodle heads will remain on the noodle rod. Because of the existence of the nozzle device, the noodle rod that has been cleaned may still be wet and cannot be used again in the production line in time.

[0005] In addition, other existing devices with similar functions are mostly independent devices. The independent motor drives the drum with many dough bars to be cleaned to rotate at high speed through chain transmission and transmission shaft. The dough bars in the drum will squeeze and collide with each other, which will clean the dough heads on the dough bars. Finally, the dough heads fall from the square hole in the middle of the drum. However, this technology also has certain shortcomings. Although it reduces the labor cost, it is still not fully automated. It is still necessary to manually add rods to the drum, and the rods need to be manually removed after cleaning. Its work efficiency needs to be improved. The dough bars and dough heads are not completely separated. There will be a lot of noise when the dough bars collide with each other, making the environment in the factory too noisy. In addition, there may be problems such as unclean cleaning of the dough bars and the lack of a more convenient and movable collection device for the dough heads and dough bars.

[0006] Based on this, it is necessary to overcome the defects of the prior art and design a dough rod cleaning device with higher efficiency and better cleaning effect. Summary of the invention

[0038] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the present invention includes a frame 11, a feeding bin 2, a conveying and cleaning device 6, a noodle head collecting bin 12 and a rod storage bin 13. The feeding bin 2 for holding noodle rods 15 to be cleaned is arranged on the top of the frame 11, the conveying and cleaning device 6 is arranged on the frame 11 below the feeding bin 2, two cleaning rollers 7 are arranged on the right side of the conveying and cleaning device 6, a guide plate 10 with an arc-shaped cross-section is arranged on the frame 11 below the gap between the conveying and cleaning device 6 and the cleaning rollers 7, a rod storage bin 13 for storing cleaned noodle rods is arranged at the lower outlet of the guide plate 10, the distance between the top of the guide plate 10 and the conveying and cleaning device 6 is smaller than the diameter of the noodle rod 15, and a noodle head cleaning bin 12 for collecting fallen noodle heads 19 is arranged below the conveying and cleaning device 6.

[0039] In this embodiment, the conveying and cleaning device 6 includes a hollow cylinder 64, and a rubber layer 63 is wrapped around the outer side of the hollow cylinder 64. A plurality of arc grooves 61 for accommodating the noodle rod 15 are equidistantly provided on the rubber layer 63 along the axial direction of the hollow cylinder 64. A plurality of noodle head through holes 62 that simultaneously penetrate the side wall of the hollow cylinder 64 are equidistantly provided in the arc groove 61. The two ends of the hollow cylinder 64 are connected to a load-bearing shaft 65, and the load-bearing shaft 65 is rotatably mounted on the frame 11 through a bearing seat 9. The load-bearing shaft 65 is connected to the power motor through a reducer 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, two cleaning rollers 7 are arranged on the sides of the hollow cylinder 64 and surround the hollow cylinder 64 . The cleaning rollers 7 are rotatably mounted on the frame 11 via roller shafts.

[0041] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the feed bin 2 is an inverted trapezoid, the lower outlet of the feed bin 2 is located directly above the hollow cylinder 64, and an adjusting cylinder 5 for controlling the opening and closing size of the lower outlet of the feed bin 2 is installed on the frame 11.

[0042] In this embodiment, the feed bin 2 includes a fixed inclined plate 3, a guide inclined plate 4 and a side plate 8. The fixed inclined plate 3 is fixedly installed between the two side plates 8. The guide inclined plate 4 is rotatably installed between the two side plates 8 through a rotating shaft. The action end of the adjusting cylinder 5 is hinged to the outer side surface of the guide inclined plate 4. The lower part of the inner side surface of the guide inclined plate 4 is fixedly connected with an extrusion rod for frictionally extruding the surface rod 15. The first cleaning of the surface rod 15 is completed in the feed bin 2 by the extrusion rod. The bottom of the fixed inclined plate 3 is fixedly provided with a limit rod 20 for limiting the guide to enter the conveying and cleaning device 6. The distance between the limit rod 20 and the conveying and cleaning device 6 is not greater than the diameter of a surface rod 15. The limit rod 20 can ensure that the surface rods 15 enter the arc groove 61 in sequence and the limit rod 20 can also rub, collide and squeeze with the surface rod 15 to complete the second cleaning. By adjusting the action of the cylinder 5, the opening size of the lower end of the fixed inclined plate 3 and the guide inclined plate 4 is controlled to accurately control the number of surface rods 15 entering the conveying and cleaning device 6 from the feed bin 2, thereby avoiding excessive surface rods 15 from accumulating on the conveying and cleaning device 6 and affecting the cleaning effect.

[0043] In this embodiment, a movable space for accommodating the noodle head 19 cleaning bin 12 is set below the frame 11, and movable pulleys 14 are set at the bottom of the noodle head 19 cleaning bin 12 and the storage rod bin 13, and handrails are set on the noodle head 19 cleaning bin 12.

When the surface rod 15 is between the cleaning roller 7 and the rubber layer 63 for the third and fourth cleaning, due to the different sizes of the surface rods 15, the cleaning roller 7 will be squeezed and moved along the waist-shaped holes 18 to make adaptive adjustments to smoothly complete the friction and squeezing. After the surface rod 15 passes, the cleaning roller 7 automatically resets under the action of gravity.

[0046] In this embodiment, the rubber layer 63, the cleaning roller 7 and the guide plate 10 are all made of polymer rubber with a certain hardness. The polymer rubber material can effectively achieve the function of mute noise reduction and reduce the noise during operation. The cleaning roller 7 is provided with friction protrusions. When the cleaned dough bar 15 falls onto the guide plate 10, the guide plate 10 can play the role of energy absorption, buffering, noise reduction and guidance to avoid generating huge noise.

[0047] When in use, the dough rods 15 to be cleaned are placed in the feed bin 2, and the bottom outlet of the feed bin 2 is finally opened cyclically by controlling the action frequency and amplitude of the cylinder 5 and the inclination angle of the guide ramp 4, so that one or two dough rods 15 are released at a time to enter the conveying and cleaning device 6. When the guide ramp 4 is in action, the extrusion rod can squeeze the dough rods 15 to perform the first preliminary cleaning of the dough rods. The dough rods 15 discharged from the feed bin 2 fall into the arc groove 61 in an orderly manner under the action of the limit rod 20, and are squeezed by the limit rod 20 and the conveying and cleaning device 6 when passing through the limit rod 20. The second cleaning is performed under the squeezing of the limit rod 20 and the conveying and cleaning device 6. With the rotation of the hollow cylinder 64, the dough rods 15 in the arc groove 61 are conveyed to the front of the cleaning roller 7 and squeezed and rubbed with the two cleaning rollers 7 to complete the third and fourth cleaning. The cleaned dough rods 15 fall into the storage rod bin 13 along the guide plate 10. The dough heads 19 peeled off during the cleaning process fall into the dough head collection bin 12 through the dough head through hole 62 on the hollow cylinder 64.

[0048] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any way. Any simple modification, change and equivalent change made to the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the invention still falls within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
