Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of rice dumpling processing, and in particular to a portioning device for rice dumpling processing. Background Art

[0002] Zongzi is a traditional Chinese festival food, mainly eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival, but is now increasingly becoming a delicacy that can be enjoyed all year round. Zongzi is made by wrapping glutinous rice and other ingredients in zong leaves and steaming them. The main ingredients of zongzi are glutinous rice and fillings, wrapped in reed leaves (or jujube leaves, ramie leaves, etc.). It has various shapes, mainly pointed and square.

[0003] The traditional zongzi processing technology usually relies on manual work to put glutinous rice and other raw materials into zong leaves, which often makes it difficult to ensure the consistent weight of each zongzi, resulting in different specifications and uneven quality of the finished zongzi, making it difficult to meet the market demand of consumers for product uniformity and service.

More specifically, glutinous rice and fillings are added into the mixing tank body 1 by opening the cover plate 11, and the mixing assembly 4 is driven by the driving mechanism 3 to rotate and vertically reciprocate the mixing assembly 4 in the mixing tank body 1, so that the glutinous rice and fillings in the mixing tank body 1 are mixed and stirred, and the zongzi fillings in the mixing tank body 1 are laterally conveyed to the inside of the weighing mechanism 7 by the conveying mechanism 5, and the zongzi fillings are weighed by the weighing mechanism 7. When the zongzi fillings reach the weight set by the controller 8, the conveying mechanism 5 is controlled by the controller 8 to stop, and the weighing mechanism 7 is driven to rotate 120 degrees by the flipping and dumping mechanism 6, so that the zongzi fillings in the weighing mechanism 7 are discharged into the zongzi leaves held manually, and the zongzi fillings are manually wrapped with the zongzi leaves to complete the zongzi processing.

[0031] The driving mechanism 3 includes a first motor 301 fixedly mounted on the top surface of the U-shaped frame 2, a rectangular shaft 302 fixedly mounted on the output end of the first motor 301, an inner rectangular hole shaft 303 movably inserted on the surface of the rectangular shaft 302, and a reciprocating threaded rod 304 fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the inner rectangular hole shaft 303, a threaded sleeve 305 is provided on the surface of the reciprocating threaded rod 304, and two sets of positioning side plates 306 are fixedly mounted on the surface of the threaded ring 305, and the positioning side plates 306 are fixedly mounted on the top surface of the mixing tank body 1.

[0032] The mixing assembly 4 includes a rotating shaft 401 connected to the bottom end of the reciprocating threaded rod 304, the rotating shaft 401 is rotatably plugged with the top of the mixing tank body 1, a plurality of groups of Y-shaped stirring paddles 402 are arranged on the surface of the rotating shaft 401, a connecting rod 403 is fixedly installed on the surface of the rotating shaft 401, and a scraper 404 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting rod 403. More specifically, the rotating shaft 401 is driven to rotate and reciprocate vertically by the driving mechanism 3, and the Y-shaped stirring paddle 402, the connecting rod 403 and the scraper 404 are driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 401.

[0036] There are multiple groups of Y-shaped stirring paddles 402, connecting rods 403 and scrapers 404 on the surface of the rotating shaft 401. When the rotating shaft 401 moves vertically to the bottom, the scrapers 404 are arranged in close contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank body 1. More specifically, the glutinous rice and the fillings in the mixing tank body 1 can be mixed by the Y-shaped stirring paddles 402, connecting rods 403 and scrapers 404 on the surface of the rotating shaft 401, and the scrapers 404 are in close contact with the inner wall of the mixing tank body 1, so that the zongzi fillings remaining on the inner wall of the bottom end of the mixing tank body 1 can be scraped.

[0037] The hopper 701 is located directly below the discharge port 503, and its bottom plate 703 and weighing plate 705 are slidably arranged along the inner wall of the hopper 701. More specifically, the hopper 701 is located below the discharge port 503, so that the rice dumpling fillings discharged from the discharge port 503 are discharged into the interior of the hopper 701.

[0038] In summary, by opening the cover plate 11, glutinous rice and fillings are added into the interior of the mixing tank body 1, and the driving mechanism 3 drives the mixing component 4 to rotate and vertically reciprocate in the mixing tank body 1, so that the glutinous rice and fillings in the mixing tank body 1 are mixed and stirred, and the conveying mechanism 5 is used to convey the zongzi fillings in the mixing tank body 1 to the interior of the weighing mechanism 7, and the zongzi fillings are weighed by the weighing mechanism 7. When the zongzi fillings reach the weight set by the controller 8, the controller 8 controls the conveying mechanism 5 to stop, and the conveying mechanism 5 is controlled by the weighing mechanism 7 to stop. The overturning and dumping mechanism 6 drives the weighing mechanism 7 to rotate 120 degrees, so that the zongzi fillings in the weighing mechanism 7 are discharged into the manually held zongzi leaves, and the zongzi fillings are manually wrapped with the zongzi leaves to complete the zongzi processing; through the weighing mechanism 7 and the overturning and dumping mechanism 6 under the action of the controller 8, not only the accuracy of the distribution of each zongzi filling is ensured, but also the efficiency of manually wrapping zongzi is greatly improved, so that the manual technique can be seamlessly combined with the modern processing flow, and high-quality zongzi that exactly meets a series of weight specifications are produced.
