Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food dipping sauce metering, in particular to a metering device for food dipping sauce. Background Art

[0002] In food production lines, metering equipment is usually installed after the dipping sauce mixing equipment. During operation, the metering equipment delivers a predetermined volume of dipping sauce each time, so that it is mixed with a predetermined weight of staple food to make food with a specific flavor. Under the same conditions, whether air is mixed into certain dipping sauces (such as mayonnaise, bean paste, etc.) will produce different tastes. If air is mixed into the dipping sauce, many tiny bubbles will form in the dipping sauce, making the dipping sauce lighter and fluffy; if air is not mixed into the dipping sauce, the texture will be thicker and firmer.

[0003] However, the dipping sauce mixing equipment mixes a large amount of dipping sauce, and the air content of the dipping sauce in the equipment after mixing is constant. The existing metering equipment does not have the ability to adjust the air content, which means that after the existing dipping sauce in the dipping sauce mixing equipment is used up, it can be decided to mix air into the dipping sauce or remove air from the dipping sauce according to the needs of the next batch.

[0065] The drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limitations of this patent. In order to better illustrate this embodiment, some parts of the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the size of the actual product.

[0066] For those skilled in the art, it is understandable that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings. The technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0067] As shown in the attached drawings, a food dipping measuring device comprises a horizontally extending cavity, in which a measuring space 111, an air filling and suction space 112 and a material discharge space 113 are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction;

[0068] A rotating column 21 extending along the axial direction is provided at the axis center of the cavity. A plurality of baffles 22 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction on the rotating column 21. The baffles 22 are sealingly and slidably connected with the cavity. A transfer chamber is formed between two adjacent baffles 22. A plurality of first vent holes 221 are evenly distributed on one side of the baffle 22.

[0069] The rotating column 21 is connected to a first rotating power mechanism, which can drive the rotating column 21 to rotate around its axis so that each transfer chamber overlaps the metering space 111, the air filling and suction space 112 and the discharge space 113 in sequence;

[0070] Among them, the transfer chamber overlapping with the metering space 111 is the metering chamber, the transfer chamber overlapping with the air filling and suction space 112 is the air filling and suction chamber, and the transfer chamber overlapping with the discharge space 113 is the discharge chamber;

[0071] In this embodiment, three baffles 22 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the rotating upper edge, thereby forming three transfer chambers. When the first transfer chamber coincides with the metering space 111, the second transfer chamber coincides with the air-charging and air-inhaling space 112, and the third transfer chamber coincides with the discharge space 113. In this way, during operation, the metering chamber, the air-charging and air-inhaling chamber, and the discharge chamber can perform their respective operations simultaneously.

[0072] The device is provided with an inflation mode and an inhalation mode;

[0073] In the inflation mode, the first vent hole 221 on the baffle 22 at the bottom end of the inflation chamber injects air into the inflation chamber;

[0074] In the suction mode, the first vent hole 221 on the baffle plate 22 at the top of the suction chamber sucks the air in the suction chamber.

[0075] Specifically, during operation, the first rotary power mechanism drives the rotating column 21 to rotate, so that the transfer chamber overlaps the metering space 111, the air filling and suction space 112 and the discharge space 113 in sequence. First, when the transfer chamber overlaps with the metering space 111, a predetermined volume of the dip enters the transfer chamber. Next, the transfer chamber moves to a position that overlaps with the air filling and suction space 112 to mix air in the dip or remove air from the dip. Then, the transfer chamber moves to a position that overlaps with the discharge space 113 to discharge the dip that has been replaced with air or removed from the air, thereby completing the delivery of the predetermined volume of the dip.

[0076] Specifically, in the inflation mode, the baffle 22 located at the bottom of the inflation and suction chamber is in a horizontal state. At this time, air is injected into the inflation and suction chamber through the first air vent 221 on the baffle 22, so that the air is mixed into the dipping sauce; in the suction mode, the baffle 22 located at the top of the inflation and suction chamber is in a horizontal state. At this time, the air in the inflation and suction chamber is sucked through the first air vent 221 on the baffle 22, and a vacuum is formed in the inflation and suction chamber, so that the bubbles in the dipping sauce are burst and discharged, thereby removing the air in the dipping sauce.

[0077] Preferably, a core rod 23 coaxial with the rotating column 21 is rotatably connected therein, an air passage 231 is formed in the core rod 23, and an inflation hole 232 and an air suction hole 233 communicating with the air passage 231 are respectively formed on the top and bottom sides of the core rod 23, an inflation check valve 2321 is provided in the inflation hole 232, and an air suction check valve 2331 is provided in the air suction hole 233;

[0078] It can be understood that the inflation check valve 2321 is used to prevent the dipping sauce in the inflation and suction chamber from entering the air duct 231; the suction check valve 2331 is used to prevent the air in the air duct 231 from flowing back into the inflation and suction chamber.

[0079] The inner wall of the rotating column 21 is provided with second vent holes 222 at multiple angles around the axis of the rotating column 21. The second vent holes 222 at multiple angles correspond to the multiple baffles 22 one by one and are connected to the first vent holes 221 on the corresponding baffles 22.

[0080] When the first vent hole 221 on the baffle plate 22 at the bottom end of the air-intake and air-intake chamber injects air into the air-intake and air-intake chamber, the second vent hole 222 corresponding to the baffle plate 22 is connected to the air-intake and air-intake hole 232;

[0081] When the first vent hole 221 on the baffle plate 22 at the top of the air-intake and air-filling chamber absorbs the air in the air-intake and air-filling chamber, the second vent hole 222 corresponding to the baffle plate 22 is connected to the air-intake hole 233 .

[0082] Preferably, the device further comprises a cylinder shell 11, a first end of the cylinder shell 11 is sealingly rotatably connected to a rotating end cover 12, and a second end of the copper shell is integrally connected to a supporting end cover 13;

[0083] The rotating end cover 12 is connected to a second rotating power mechanism, which can drive the rotating end cover 12 to rotate around its axis to change the positions of the metering space 111, the air filling and suction space 112, and the discharge space 113;

[0084] In the inflation mode and the suction mode, the rotating end cover 12 is in the first position and the second position respectively.

[0085] Preferably, a material turning mechanism is provided on the rotating end cover 12, and the air filling and suction space 112 is aligned with the material turning mechanism;

[0086] The material turning mechanism includes a material turning plate 51, a grid 52 is provided on one side of the material turning plate 51, and the material turning plate 51 is connected to a first linear power structure, which can drive the material turning plate 51 to move along the axial direction of the rotating column 21;

[0087] When the rotating end cover 12 is in the first position, the grille 52 is located at the bottom side of the air filling and suction space 112;

[0088] When the rotating end cover 12 is in the second position, the grille 52 is located at the top side of the air filling and suction space 112 .

[0089] In the inflation mode, the rotating end cover 12 is in the first position, and the grille 52 is located at the bottom side of the inflation and suction space 112. When any transfer chamber coincides with the inflation and suction space 112, the transfer chamber becomes the inflation and suction chamber. Then, the first air vent 221 on the baffle 22 at the bottom of the inflation and suction chamber begins to inject air into the inflation and suction chamber. At the same time, the first linear power structure drives the flipping plate 51 to move axially along the rotating column 21. Driven by the flipping plate 51, the dip flows through the grille 52 on the bottom side of the flipping plate 51, mixes with the bubbles released by the first air vent 221, and mixes air into the dip. In addition, the dip in the inflation and suction chamber is redistributed, which helps to improve the uniformity of the dipping mixture. Furthermore, the grille 52 on the bottom side forms multiple thin streams of the dip, which increases the contact area between the dip and the air and improves the mixing effect of the dip and the air.

[0090] In the suction mode, the rotating end cover 12 is in the second position, and the grid 52 is located at the top side of the air filling and suction space 112. When any transfer chamber coincides with the air filling and suction space 112, the transfer chamber becomes the air filling and suction chamber. Then, the first vent 221 on the baffle 22 at the top of the air filling and suction chamber begins to extract the air in the air filling and suction chamber, thereby forming a vacuum in the air filling and suction chamber. At the same time, the first linear power structure drives the flipping plate 51 to move axially along the rotating column 21. Driven by the flipping plate 51, the dip flows through the grid 52 on the top side of the flipping plate 51, causing the bubbles in the dip to burst and drain away, thereby removing the air in the dip. In addition, the dip in the air filling and suction chamber can be redistributed, which helps to solve the problem that the bubbles originally distributed at the bottom of the air filling and suction chamber can escape. Furthermore, the grid 52 on the bottom side causes the dip to form multiple thin streams, which increases the surface area of ​​the dip exposed to the vacuum environment, and helps to fully remove the bubbles in the dip.

[0091] Preferably, a discharge mechanism is provided on the rotating end cover 12, and the discharge space 113 is aligned with the discharge mechanism;

[0092] The discharge mechanism includes a material extrusion plate 61, which is sealed and slidably connected to the discharge chamber, and an air chamber 114 is formed between the material extrusion plate 61 and the rotating end cover 12. The material extrusion plate 61 is connected to a second linear power structure, which can drive the material extrusion plate 61 to move along the axial direction of the rotating column 21;

[0093] The rotating end cover 12 is provided with a first air hole 121 communicating with the air chamber 114, and the rotating column 21 is provided with an air hole 211 communicating with the air passage 231;

[0094] When the rotating end cover 12 is at the first position or the second position, the first air hole 121 is communicated with the air hole 211 .

[0095] Specifically, when the transfer chamber loaded with the dipping material moves to a position that overlaps with the discharge space 113, the transfer chamber becomes the discharge chamber. Then, the second linear power structure drives the extrusion plate 61 to move away from the rotating end cover 12 to discharge the dipping material in the discharge chamber. After the dipping material in the discharge chamber is emptied, the second linear power structure drives the extrusion plate 61 to move toward the rotating end cover 12 until the extrusion plate 61 returns to its initial position.

[0096] The volume of the gas chamber 114 changes with the movement of the extrusion plate 61 .

[0097] Preferably, the rotating end cover 12 is rotatably connected to the valve ring 14, and the valve ring 14 is provided with an air inlet hole 141 and an exhaust hole 142 connected to the outside world. The air inlet hole 141 is provided with an air inlet check valve 1411, and the exhaust hole 142 is provided with an exhaust check valve 1421. The rotating end cover 12 is provided with a second air hole 122 connected to the air bin 114; wherein, the air inlet check valve 1411 is used to prevent the air in the air bin 114 from flowing to the outside world through the air inlet hole 141; and the exhaust check valve 1421 is used to prevent the outside air from flowing into the air bin 114 through the exhaust hole 142.

[0098] When the rotating end cover 12 is in the first position, the second air hole 122 is connected to the air inlet 141;

[0099] When the rotating end cover 12 is at the second position, the second air hole 122 is communicated with the exhaust hole 142 .

[0100] When air is injected into the air-filling and suction chamber, the rotating end cover 12 is in the first position. At this time, the second vent hole 222 is connected to the air-filling hole 232, the first air hole 121 is connected to the air-permeable hole 211, and the second air hole 122 is connected to the air inlet hole 141. During the discharge process, the extrusion plate 61 first moves in the direction away from the rotating end cover 12, so that the volume of the air bin 114 gradually increases, and then the external air is sucked into the air bin 114 through the air inlet hole 141 and the second air hole 122. Then, the extrusion plate 61 moves in the direction close to the rotating end cover 12, so that the volume of the air bin 114 gradually decreases. In this way, the air in the air bin 114 passes through the first air hole 121, the air-permeable hole 211, the air passage 231, the air-filling hole 232, the second air hole 222 and the first air hole 221 in sequence, and finally enters the air-filling and suction chamber and mixes with the dipping material in the air-filling and suction chamber.

[0101] When the air in the air filling and suction chamber is sucked, the rotating end cover 12 is in the second position. At this time, the second vent hole 222 is connected to the air suction hole 233, the first air hole 121 is connected to the air vent 211, and the second air hole 122 is connected to the exhaust hole 142. During the discharge process, the extrusion plate 61 first moves in the direction away from the rotating end cover 12, so that the volume of the air bin 114 gradually increases, and then the air in the air filling and suction chamber is sucked into the air bin 114 through the first vent hole 221, the second vent hole 222, the air suction hole 233, the air passage 231, the air vent 211 and the first air hole 121. Then, the extrusion plate 61 moves in the direction close to the rotating end cover 12, so that the volume of the air bin 114 gradually decreases. In this way, the air in the air bin 114 flows to the outside through the second air hole 122 and the exhaust hole 142.
