[0001] This invention belongs to the field of household appliance technology, specifically relating to an extrusion module and a cutting and mixing machine. Background Technology

[0002] For all kinds of kitchen operations, food preparation before cooking is always an essential step. And for Chinese cooking, with its diverse cooking methods and varied ingredient choices, the preparation process is even more varied. Among these, pasta dishes are common, such as noodles and flatbreads. However, preparing pasta requires adding water to the flour to form dough with the appropriate moisture content, stirring this dough to create a more chewy texture, and then extruding the stirred dough to form the desired shape.

[0003] Therefore, how to form a water tank connection structure that facilitates water intake and installation / disassembly, obtain a more chewy texture, and extrude shaped pasta are problems that technicians must face. At the same time, how to extrude different shaped pasta on the same extrusion structure is also a technical problem that technicians urgently need to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application further improves the structure of the extrusion module, aiming to solve these problems and obtain a stable and detachable water tank assembly structure. This structure can work in conjunction with the dough mixing structure to obtain more elastic dough flakes, and then extrude these dough flakes through the dough extrusion structure. By changing the extrusion die head with different extrusion orifice shapes, different shapes of pasta can be extruded. One objective of this invention is to provide an extrusion module, and another objective is to provide a corresponding cutting and processing machine.

[0014] One of the contributions of the above technical solution is to provide a stable and detachable water tank assembly structure, which can be simply inserted into the water tank slot during water tank assembly.

[0015] The second contribution is to provide a dough flake mixing structure, in which the drive connection part on the mixing rod is connected to the power output part, and the follower connection part is connected by a hinge to cooperate with the rotation of the mixing rod; during the process of adding dough flakes, the pre-mixing arm first contacts the dough flakes and forms a mix, then the auxiliary mixing arm further mixes the pre-mixed dough flakes, and finally the main mixing arm mixes them.

[0016] The third contribution is to provide a dough extrusion structure to extrude the above-mentioned stirred dough, and to achieve the extrusion of different shapes of pasta by changing different dough extrusion parts - corresponding to different shaped dough extrusion holes.

[0017] Preferably, the water tank outlet is connected to the dough inlet via a check valve. In this case, the check valve is opened to a flow state by the dough inlet. Before the check valve is connected to the dough inlet, it is in a stop state and the water in the water tank will not flow out. After the check valve is connected to the dough inlet, it is in a flow state and the water in the water tank is added to the dough container.

[0018] In a further preferred embodiment, the water inlet for kneading dough is a protruding water inlet pipe. The protruding water inlet pipe is inserted into the stop valve to open it to the flow state. At this time, the protruding water inlet pipe also plays an auxiliary positioning role, making the water tank installation more secure.

[0019] Preferably, the water tank slot is a groove adapted to the shape of the bottom of the water tank; more preferably, the dough inlet is located at one end of the bottom of the water tank slot, which can prevent the water tank from being installed backwards;

[0020] Preferably, a strip-shaped first portable protrusion is provided in the middle of the dough cover; more preferably, the water tank slot is provided on one side of the first portable protrusion.

[0021] The first portable protrusion makes it easy for users to hold the kneading container by hand, while the placement of the water tank slot facilitates the utilization and arrangement of the space above the kneading lid.

[0022] Preferably, the water tank is provided with a water tank cover, and the water tank cover is provided with a strip-shaped second portable protrusion, so that the user can hold the water tank by hand.

[0023] Preferably, the water tank is a cylindrical body, and the cross-section of the cylindrical body has a shape that matches the inner contour of the water tank slot. In this case, the water tank is only located in the upper part of the water tank slot and does not occupy additional space.

[0024] Preferably, the lower part of both the first portable protrusion and the second portable protrusion is provided with a gradually expanding base structure, which can form a basis for handheld use.

[0025] Preferably, the auxiliary stirring arm has a dough extrusion area formed at the end away from the rod; the main stirring arm has a dough return baffle that protrudes toward the dough extrusion area at the end away from the rod; when the rod rotates, the outer contour of the dough return baffle forms a circular trajectory, which is adapted to the inner wall contour of the dough container.

[0026] The dough flake return section on the main mixing arm can scrape the dough flakes scattered on the inner wall of the mixing container and guide them to the dough flake extrusion area. Then, the auxiliary mixing arm will perform secondary mixing on the guided dough flakes in the dough flake extrusion area to improve the chewy texture of the dough flakes.

[0027] Preferably, the distance between the pre-stirring arm and the rod body is greater than the distance between the auxiliary stirring arm and the rod body. The end of the stirring arm has a stronger stirring effect and a more thorough stirring action. Therefore, this design allows the pre-stirring arm to stir the flour flakes within a larger rotation range. The stirring area of ​​the auxiliary stirring arm is different from that of the pre-stirring arm, so that the flour flakes in different areas are thoroughly stirred.

[0028] Preferably, the distance between the main stirring arm and the rod body is greater than the distance between the auxiliary stirring arm and the rod body. Similarly, the main stirring arm has a larger stirring range and should cooperate with the scraping action of the flour floc return section to facilitate the formation of the flour floc extrusion area. The stirring range of the main stirring arm should be as large as possible, usually greater than the stirring range of the pre-stirring arm.

[0029] Preferably, the pre-stirring arm and the auxiliary stirring arm extend in opposite directions from the rod body to reduce mutual interference between them and to distribute them as evenly as possible within the dough mixing container, minimizing the probability of dough clumps not being stirred.

[0030] Preferably, in the working state, the upper surface of the auxiliary stirring arm is provided with a first guide side, the first guide side having a downwardly extending inclined surface from the extension direction of the rod body; the upper surface of the pre-stirring arm is provided with a second guide side, the second guide side having a downwardly extending inclined surface from the extension direction of the rod body.

[0037] The pre-stirring arm and the auxiliary stirring arm have projected areas with opposite directions of extension;

[0038] The pre-stirring arm and the main stirring arm have projected areas with opposite directions of extension.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment, the water inlet for kneading is positioned so that the dripping point is located on the inner wall of the kneading container. This arrangement allows the dough flakes to form first on the inner wall of the kneading container under the guidance of the first and second guide sides of the stirring rod, combined with the centrifugal force of the flour. These flakes are then scraped off by the dough flake return section and guided to the dough flake extrusion area, where the auxiliary stirring arm performs secondary kneading. This creates a path of dough flake formation-extrusion-secondary kneading, which improves the kneading efficiency and also produces a chewy and delicious pasta.

[0040] Preferably, the extrusion cover is provided with a first limiting ring at one end adjacent to the dough mixing container; it also includes an extrusion fixing member, which is provided with an outer cover through hole, a second limiting ring and a fixing structure. The outer cover through hole is sleeved on the extrusion cover, and the fixing structure fixes the extrusion fixing member to the dough mixing container. At least partially overlapping snap-fit ​​portions are formed between the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring, and another snap-fit ​​portion is formed on the dough mixing container that contacts the first limiting ring. The two snap-fit ​​portions cause the first limiting ring to snap between the extrusion fixing member and the dough mixing container.

[0041] Preferably, the extruded outer cover includes a first tubular member, the first limiting ring is formed at one end of the first tubular member, and the other end of the first tubular member is closed;

[0042] The extrusion outlet is located on the first tubular component;

[0043] The most preferred first tubular component is a round tube.

[0044] More preferably, the extrusion outlet is located at the lower end of the first tubular member and faces downwards, so that it can be extruded by the weight of the surface itself.

[0045] Preferably, the extrusion fixing member has a second tubular member, the second limiting ring is opened at one end of the second tubular member, and the fixing structure is disposed at the other end of the second tubular member;

[0046] The inner contour of the second limiting ring surrounds and forms the outer cover through hole.

[0047] The extrusion fastener is also tubular in shape to fit the tubular extrusion cover.

[0048] More preferably, the fixing structure is a threaded structure consisting of an internal thread on the inner wall of the second tubular component and an external thread on the dough container, wherein the snap-fit ​​portion between the dough container and the first limiting ring is located at the end of the external thread.

[0049] Preferably, the extrusion die covers the extrusion outlet from the inner wall of the first tubular member, making it less likely to fall out.

[0050] Preferably, the extrusion die is a sheet-like component and has a shape that matches the inner wall contour of the first tubular component.

[0051] More preferably, the first limiting ring includes a limiting portion protruding into the first tubular member.

[0052] More preferably, the extrusion die has a limiting length that matches the distance between the limiting portion and the closed end of the first tubular member.

[0053] The limiting part is used to form the basis of the limiting extrusion die head. The extrusion die head is limited between the limiting part and the closed end, without the need for additional positioning structure.

[0054] In summary, the technical solution described in this invention has the following main beneficial effects:

[0055] Compared with the prior art, one of the contributions of the extrusion module disclosed in this invention is to provide a stable and detachable water tank assembly structure, which can be simply inserted into the water tank slot during water tank assembly.

[0056] The second contribution is to provide a dough flake mixing structure, in which the drive connection part on the mixing rod is connected to the power output part, and the follower connection part is connected by a hinge to cooperate with the rotation of the mixing rod; during the process of adding dough flakes, the pre-mixing arm first contacts the dough flakes and forms a mix, then the auxiliary mixing arm further mixes the pre-mixed dough flakes, and finally the main mixing arm mixes them.

[0057] The third contribution is to provide a dough extrusion structure to extrude the above-mentioned stirred dough, and to achieve the extrusion of different shapes of pasta by changing different dough extrusion parts - corresponding to different shaped dough extrusion holes.

[0058] Meanwhile, the water inlet for kneading dough is a protruding water inlet pipe. The protruding water inlet pipe is inserted into the stop valve to open it to the flow state. At this time, the protruding water inlet pipe also plays an auxiliary positioning role, making the water tank installation more secure.

[0059] The dough flake return section on the main mixing arm can scrape the dough flakes scattered on the inner wall of the mixing container and guide them to the dough flake extrusion area. Then, the auxiliary mixing arm performs a second mixing on the guided dough flakes in the dough flake extrusion area to improve the chewy texture of the dough flakes. The mixing area of ​​the auxiliary mixing arm is different from that of the pre-mixing arm, so that the dough flakes in different areas are fully mixed.

[0060] Furthermore, the water inlet for kneading is positioned so that the dripping point is located on the inner wall of the kneading container. This design allows the flour to first form flocs on the inner wall of the kneading container under the guidance of the first and second guide sides of the stirring rod, combined with the centrifugal force of the flour. These flocs are then scraped off by the floc return section and guided to the floc extrusion area, where the auxiliary stirring arm performs secondary kneading. This creates a floc formation-extrusion-secondary kneading path, which improves the kneading efficiency and also produces a chewy and delicious pasta.

[0061] Further or more detailed beneficial effects will be described in conjunction with specific embodiments in the detailed implementation. Attached Figure Description

[0077] The present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments:

[0078] The core technical problem faced by the technical solution of this application embodiment stems from the inventor's accurate understanding of the prior art. Therefore, how to provide a stable and detachable water tank assembly structure, obtain more chewy dough flakes, and extrude the dough flakes through a dough flake extrusion structure, and achieve the extrusion of different shapes of pasta by changing extrusion dies with different dough extrusion hole shapes, are the technical problems that the inventor urgently needs to solve.

[0079] It should be noted that the embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the claims of this invention. All technical solutions that can be reasonably expected by those skilled in the art based on the technical concepts provided / proved by the embodiments should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of this invention.

[0080] The specific implementation examples are detailed below:

[0081] Please refer to Figures 1-4. This embodiment relates to an extrusion module, which includes:

[0082] Water tank 2.8 is connected to the dough-mixing lid 2.7 above the dough-mixing container 2.5;

[0083] A dough-stirring structure is located inside the dough mixing container 2.5 to stir dough flakes;

[0084] A dough extrusion structure is located at the bottom of the dough mixing container 2.5 and is used to extrude the dough after mixing.

[0085] in:

[0086] The dough-making cover 2.7 is provided with a water tank slot 2.71. The outer periphery of the water tank slot 2.71 has a shape that fits the lower outer contour of the water tank 2.8. The water tank slot 2.71 is provided with a dough-making inlet 2.72. The lower end of the water tank 2.8 has a water tank outlet that connects to the dough-making inlet 2.72 after being snapped on.

[0087] The dough mixing structure includes a mixing rod 2.6, which includes a rod body 2.61. The rod body 2.61 is vertically arranged in the working state, and a drive connection part 2.62 and a follower connection part 2.63 are respectively provided at both ends of the rod body 2.61. In the working state, a pre-mixing arm 2.64, an auxiliary mixing arm 2.65 and a main mixing arm 2.66 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom on the rod body 2.61.

[0088] The dough extrusion structure includes an extrusion screw 2.1 disposed in an extrusion channel below the dough container 2.5, the extrusion screw 2.1 having a drive end 2.11 and an extrusion end 2.12 disposed opposite to each other; it also includes an extrusion cover 2.2 fixed to one end of the extrusion channel, partially sleeved on the extrusion end 2.12, the extrusion cover 2.2 having a space inside for the extrusion screw 2.1 to rotate, and an extrusion outlet 2.21 with an opening facing downwards on its surface; it also includes an extrusion die 2.4 detachably covering the extrusion outlet 2.21, the extrusion die 2.4 having dough extrusion holes formed on it.

[0089] The technical solution in this embodiment provides a stable and detachable water tank assembly structure. The water tank 2.8 can be assembled simply by inserting it into the water tank slot 2.71. It also provides a dough mixing structure, where the drive connection 2.62 on the mixing rod 2.6 is connected to the power output, and the follower connection 2.63 is hinged to cooperate with the rotation of the mixing rod 2.6. During the addition of dough, the pre-mixing arm 2.64 first contacts the dough and forms a mixer, then the auxiliary mixing arm 2.65 further mixes the pre-mixed dough, and finally the main mixing arm 2.66 performs the mixing. A dough extrusion structure is also provided to extrude the mixed dough, and different shapes of pasta can be extruded by changing the extrusion die 2.4 with different extrusion hole shapes.

[0090] In one embodiment:

[0091] The water tank slot 2.71 is a strip-shaped groove, while the water tank 2.8 is a columnar body with a cross-section that matches the inner contour of the water tank slot 2.71.

[0092] The water tank slot 2.71 is provided with a dough-kneading water inlet 2.72, which is a protruding water inlet pipe and is integrally formed with the water tank slot 2.71. The lower end of the water tank 2.8 has a water tank outlet. The position of the water tank outlet is such that after the water tank 2.8 is engaged with the water tank slot 2.71, the water tank outlet is connected to the dough-kneading water inlet 2.72. Specifically, the connection method is: the protruding water inlet pipe corresponding to the dough-kneading water inlet 2.72 is inserted into the water tank outlet.

[0093] Furthermore: After the water tank 2.8 is snapped in, the water tank outlet is connected to the dough inlet 2.72 through the check valve 2.81. At this time, the check valve 2.81 is inserted by the protruding inlet pipe to open it to the flow state.

[0094] In the preferred technical solution, the dough inlet 2.72 is located at one end of the bottom of the water tank slot 2.71.

[0095] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the basic function is as follows: before the stop valve 2.81 is connected to the dough inlet 2.72, it is in a stop state, and the water in the water tank 2.8 will not flow out. After the stop valve 2.81 is connected to the dough inlet 2.72, it is in a flow state. The water droplets in the water tank 2.8 are added to the dough container 2.5 to form dough flakes with appropriate water content. When water needs to be added again, simply pull out the water tank 2.8, add an appropriate amount of water, and then insert it back into the water tank slot 2.71.

[0096] The advanced function of this embodiment is that the protruding water inlet pipe also serves as an auxiliary positioning tool, making the water tank 2.8 more securely installed. The water inlet 2.72 is located at one end of the bottom of the water tank slot 2.71. This arrangement can prevent the water tank 2.8 from being installed backwards. Furthermore, the water tank 2.8 is only located in the area above the water tank slot 2.71 and will not occupy additional space.

[0097] In a preferred embodiment, a strip-shaped first portable protrusion 2.73 is provided in the middle of the dough cover 2.7, a water tank slot 2.71 is provided on one side of the first portable protrusion 2.73, a water tank cover 2.9 is provided on the water tank 2.8, a strip-shaped second portable protrusion 2.91 is provided on the water tank cover 2.9, and a gradually expanding base structure is provided at the lower part of both the first portable protrusion 2.73 and the second portable protrusion 2.91;

[0098] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the first portable protrusion 2.73 makes it convenient for the user to hold the dough container 2.5 by hand, the second portable protrusion 2.91 makes it convenient for the user to hold the water tank 2.8 by hand, and the setting position of the water tank slot 2.71 is conducive to the utilization and arrangement of the upper space of the dough cover 2.7. The above-mentioned base structure can form a hand-held base.

[0099] In one embodiment:

[0100] In the dough mixing structure, the auxiliary mixing arm 2.65 has a dough extrusion area 2.67 formed at the end away from the rod 2.61, and the main mixing arm 2.66 has a dough return baffle 2.661 that protrudes toward the dough extrusion area 2.67 at the end away from the rod 2.61;

[0101] When the rod 2.61 rotates, the circular trajectory formed by the outer contour of the dough return stop 2.661 can be adjacent to the inner wall contour of the dough container 2.6.

[0102] In this embodiment, after the dough flakes are added to the mixing container 2.5, the pre-mixing arm 2.64 first contacts the dough flakes and forms a mixing action. Then, the auxiliary mixing arm 2.65 further mixes the pre-mixed dough flakes. Finally, the main mixing arm 2.66 mixes the dough flakes. The dough flake return baffle 2.661 on the main mixing arm 2.66 can scrape the dough flakes scattered on the inner wall of the mixing container 2.5 and guide them into the dough flake extrusion area 2.67. Then, the auxiliary mixing arm 2.65 performs a second mixing of the guided dough flakes in the dough flake extrusion area 2.67 to improve the elasticity and texture of the dough flakes, thereby obtaining a more delicious pasta.

[0103] In a preferred embodiment, the pre-stirring arm 2.64 extends from the rod 2.61 at a greater distance than the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65 extends from the rod 2.61, and the main stirring arm 2.66 extends from the rod 2.61 at a greater distance than the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65 extends from the rod 2.61. That is, the pre-stirring arm 2.64 has a longer length than the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65, and the main stirring arm 2.66 also has a longer length than the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65.

[0104] Generally speaking, the end of the stirring arm has a stronger stirring effect and a more thorough stirring action. Therefore, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the pre-stirring arm 2.64 stirs the flour flakes within a larger rotation range. The stirring area of ​​the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65 is different from that of the pre-stirring arm 2.64, so that the flour flakes in different areas are thoroughly stirred. Similarly, the main stirring arm 2.66 has a larger stirring range and needs to cooperate with the scraping action of the flour flake return baffle 2.661 and facilitate the formation of the flour flake extrusion area 2.67. The stirring range of the main stirring arm 2.66 should be as large as possible. In this embodiment, its length is greater than that of the pre-stirring arm 2.64.

[0105] In a preferred embodiment, the pre-stirring arm 2.64 and the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65 extend in opposite directions from the rod body 2.61. This arrangement reduces mutual interference between the two and ensures that they are distributed as evenly as possible within the dough mixing container 2.5, minimizing the probability of any dough clumps not being stirred.

[0106] In a preferred embodiment, in the working state, the upper surface of the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65 is provided with a first guide side 2.651, and the first guide side 2.651 has a downwardly extending inclined surface in the extension direction of the rod body 2.61;

[0107] The upper surface of the pre-stirring arm 2.64 is provided with a second guide side 2.641, and the second guide side 2.641 has a downwardly extending inclined surface in the extension direction of the rod body 2.61;

[0108] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the first guide side 2.651 and the second guide side 2.641 use centrifugal force to make the dough flakes move outward and downward, so that they can be scraped up by the dough flake return baffle 2.661 for secondary stirring.

[0109] In a further preferred embodiment, the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65 and the main stirring arm 2.66 are disposed on the same side of the rod body 2.61, so that the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65 acts on the dough flakes scraped up by the dough flake return baffle 2.661 in the first instant.

[0110] In this embodiment, the top-view projection relationship of the pre-stirring arm 2.64, the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65, and the main stirring arm 2.66 is as follows:

[0111] The auxiliary stirring arm 2.65 and the main stirring arm 2.66 have projection areas that extend in the same direction and partially overlap. The pre-stirring arm 2.64 and the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65 have projection areas that extend in opposite directions. The pre-stirring arm 2.64 and the main stirring arm 2.66 have projection areas that extend in opposite directions.

[0112] In a preferred embodiment, in the working state, the upper surface of the main stirring arm 2.66 is provided with a third guide side 2.662, which has a downwardly extending inclined surface along the direction pointing to the rod body 2.61. The dough floc return baffle 2.661 is provided with a fourth guide side 2.663 on the side near the rod body 2.61, which also has a downwardly extending inclined surface along the direction pointing to the rod body 2.61. In this embodiment, the third guide side 2.662 and the fourth guide side 2.663 are used to guide the dough flocs after secondary stirring to be further output downwards.

[0113] In a further preferred embodiment, the water inlet 2.72 is positioned such that the dripping point is located on the inner wall of the dough mixing container 2.5. This arrangement allows the dough flakes to form first on the inner wall of the dough mixing container 2.5 under the guidance of the first guide side 2.651 and the second guide side 2.641 of the stirring rod 2.6, combined with the centrifugal force of the flour. These flakes are then caught by the flake return baffle 2.661 and guided to the flake extrusion area 2.67, where the auxiliary stirring arm 2.65 performs secondary stirring. This creates a path of flake formation-extrusion-secondary stirring, which improves the stirring efficiency of the flakes and also produces a chewy and delicious pasta.

[0114] In one embodiment:

[0115] The extrusion structure for the dough includes a long strip-shaped extrusion channel, an extrusion screw 2.1, an extrusion cover 2.2, an extrusion fixing component 2.3, and an extrusion die head 2.4;

[0116] The extrusion screw 2.1 is located in the middle of the extrusion channel. One end of the extrusion screw 2.1 is the drive end 2.11, and the other end is the extrusion end 2.12. The drive end 2.11 is connected to a power output shaft to drive the extrusion screw 2.1 to rotate. The extrusion end 2.12 is provided with an extrusion outlet 2.21.

[0117] The extrusion cover 2.2 is a cylindrical part and is sleeved on part of the extrusion screw 2.1 from the extrusion end 2.12. The interior of the extrusion cover 2.2 and the extrusion channel together form a space for the extrusion screw 2.1 to rotate. The extrusion outlet 2.21 is provided on the lower surface of the extrusion cover 2.2. A first limiting ring 2.22 is provided at the end of the extrusion cover 2.2 adjacent to the dough container 2.5.

[0118] For example, the extrusion cover 2.2 includes a first tubular member 2.23 in the shape of a cylinder. The first limiting ring 2.22 is turned outward and disposed at one end of the first tubular member 2.23. The other end of the first tubular member 2.23 is closed to prevent dough flakes from being squeezed out from that end. The extrusion outlet 2.21 is opened on the lower end of the first tubular member 2.23, and its position corresponds to the extrusion end 2.12 of the extrusion screw 2.1. In this way, the dough flakes can be squeezed out by the weight of the dough flakes themselves.

[0119] The extrusion fixing component 2.3 is an annular component whose shape matches the extrusion cover 2.2. It is provided with an outer cover through hole 2.31, a second limiting ring 2.32 and an internal thread. The internal thread is screwed into the external thread on the dough container 2.5 to form a fixing structure.

[0120] The outer cover through hole 2.31 is fitted onto the extrusion outer cover 2.2. The internal thread fixing structure fixes the extrusion fixing member 2.3 to a protruding external thread on the dough mixing container 2.5. A partially overlapping snap-fit ​​portion is formed between the first limiting ring 2.22 and the second limiting ring 2.32. Another snap-fit ​​portion is formed on the dough mixing container 2.5 that contacts the first limiting ring 2.22. The two snap-fit ​​portions cause the first limiting ring 2.22 to snap between the extrusion fixing member 2.3 and the dough mixing container 2.5.

[0121] For example, the extrusion fastener 2.3 has a cylindrical second tubular member 2.33, a second limiting ring 2.32 is opened at one end of the second tubular member 2.33 and turned inward, and an internal thread fixing structure is provided on the inner wall of the other end of the second tubular member 2.33. The inner contour of the second limiting ring 2.32 surrounds and forms the above-mentioned outer cover through hole 2.31.

[0122] The extrusion die 2.4 is detachably covered at the extrusion outlet 2.21, and a surface extrusion section is formed on the extrusion die 2.4.

[0123] The technical solution described in this embodiment provides a feasible dough extrusion structure, and by changing the dough extrusion part with different shaped extrusion holes, the extrusion die 2.4 can extrude different shapes of pasta. For example, when the dough extrusion hole is a fine hole, fine noodles are extruded; when it is a coarse hole, coarse noodles are extruded; when it is a flat hole, wide noodles are extruded; when it is a longer slit, dough sheets are extruded, and after a little slicing, small pieces of dough are formed, etc.

[0124] In actual operation, the dough flakes first fall onto the extrusion screw 2.1 in the extrusion channel. The extrusion screw 2.1 is driven to rotate, pushing the dough flakes towards the extrusion outlet 2.21. Since one end of the first tubular member 2.23 is closed, the dough flakes will only be squeezed out from the extrusion outlet 2.21, forming different shapes of pasta with different shaped dough extrusion holes.

[0125] In a preferred embodiment, the extrusion die 2.4 is a curved sheet-like component. The extrusion die 2.4 covers the extrusion outlet 2.21 from the inner wall of the first tubular component 2.23. The curvature of the extrusion die 2.4 matches the shape of the inner wall contour of the first tubular component 2.23. That is, the extrusion die 2.4 fits and covers the extrusion outlet 2.21 from the inside out, making it less likely for the extrusion die 2.4 to fall out and the state during extrusion is relatively stable.

[0126] In a further preferred embodiment, the first limiting ring 2.22 includes a limiting portion protruding into the first tubular member 2.23, and the extrusion die head 2.4 has a defined limiting length, which is the same as the distance from the limiting portion to the closed end.

[0127] In this embodiment, the combined structure of the limiting part and the closed end forms the basis of the limiting extrusion die 2.4. Since the limiting length of the extrusion die 2.4 is the same as the distance from the limiting part to the closed end, the extrusion die 2.4 can be just snapped between the limiting part and the closed end. No additional positioning structure is needed to position the extrusion die 2.4, which simplifies the assembly structure of the extrusion die 2.4 and makes the assembly process of the extrusion die 2.4 faster and more convenient.

[0128] The cutting and mixing machine described in this embodiment is equipped with the extrusion module described in any of the above embodiments.
