Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of food processing, and in particular to a noodle conveying system and process based on industrial processing of instant noodles. Background Art

[0002] Instant noodles are a convenient food that can be eaten in a short time by simply brewing or cooking. It uses wheat flour as the main raw material. After being made into noodles, it is fried or dried and paired with a variety of flavor seasoning packets. From the perspective of noodles, the production process of noodles includes multiple links such as raw material preparation, dough mixing, calendering, frying and packaging. The raw material is high-quality wheat flour, combined with appropriate amounts of purified water and additives such as salt and sodium carbonate. It is fully stirred and mixed in a dough mixer and matured, and then the dough is made into noodles of appropriate thickness through calendering rollers. After being cut into noodles, it is dried by frying, etc., so that the noodles are easy to store and can be quickly rehydrated.

[0003] After the dough is fried and cooled, it needs to be transferred to the conveyor of the next packaging process for packaging through a conveyor. However, the two conveyors cannot directly achieve seamless transmission and there is a certain height difference. The existing method is to set a slide and a bevel slide between the two conveyors so that the dough can slide directly onto the next conveyor. At the same time, a baffle is required to block the dough from sliding down. Although fast transportation can be achieved, the following problems still exist: when the dough slides onto the next conveyor through the slide, its gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic potential energy, and the dough collides with the baffle after sliding. The direct collision will cause the dough to break or break. At the same time, this method is only suitable for transportation between two parallel conveyors. If there is a certain inclination angle between the two conveyors, the dough cannot be directly transported through the slide. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problem in the prior art that when noodles are transported between two conveyors through a slide, the noodles may collide and be broken or fractured, a noodle conveying system and process based on the industrial processing of instant noodles are proposed.

[0009] Further, the lifting assembly includes a second support plate fixedly installed at the lower end of the top plate, a second rotating rod rotatably installed on the second support plate, a driven wheel rotatably installed on the side wall of the side plate. One end of the second rotating rod is fixedly connected to the axis of the driven wheel. An offset rod is fixedly installed at the end of the second rotating rod away from the driven wheel. A control rod is fixedly installed on the side wall of the offset rod. A synchronous plate is fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the lifting cylinder. An arc sleeve is fixedly installed on the side wall of the synchronous plate. One end of the control rod is located inside the arc sleeve. A transmission element is installed between the driving wheel and the driven wheel.

[0010] Further, the transmission element includes a servo motor fixedly installed on the side wall of the side plate away from the driving wheel. The driving end of the servo motor slides through the side plate and is connected to the driving wheel. A transmission belt is sleeved and installed between the driving wheel and the driven wheel.

[0011] Further, the release mechanism includes a bearing ring rotatably installed at the lower end of the mounting column, a plurality of connecting plates fixedly installed at the lower end of the bearing ring, an intermediate ring fixedly installed between the lower ends of the plurality of connecting plates, and symmetric telescopic rods fixedly installed at the lower end of the intermediate ring. An opening and closing element cooperating with the telescopic rods is installed on the cross bar.

[0012] Further, the opening and closing element includes two opening and closing boxes fixedly installed at the upper end of the cross bar, an air release groove opened inside the opening and closing box. The two ends of the air release groove are respectively communicated with the communication groove and the outside. A gas blocking plate is fixedly installed at the lower end of the telescopic rod.

[0013] Further, the sum of the telescopic length of the telescopic rod and the length of the gas blocking plate is less than the maximum descending distance of the lifting cylinder.

[0014] Further, a controller is fixedly installed on the side plate. The controller is electrically connected to the servo motor. The servo motor pauses for 3 seconds every time it rotates one circle through the controller.

[0015] Further, an industrial processing technology for instant noodles includes the following steps: S1: Mix wheat flour, water, salt and alkaline water in proportion and stir to form a dough, and let it stand for ripening; S2: The ripened dough is rolled through multiple rolling mills and formed into wavy noodles by a corrugated cutter; S3: The cut noodles are steamed in steam at 95 - 100 °C for 1 - 2 minutes to make the degree of starch α - gelatinization reach more than 80%. At the same time, the protein is denatured to fix the structure of the noodle body; S4: The noodles are fried in palm oil at 140 - 160 °C for 70 - 120 seconds, and the moisture content is reduced to 3 - 5% to form a porous structure; S5: Lift the cooled noodle cakes on the transfer rack by controlling the lifting plate in the conveying mechanism. During the upward movement of the lifting plate, the square airbag at its upper end expands to reduce the collision between the lifting plate and the noodle cakes. S6: After the lifting is completed, the lifting plate rotates 180° through the rotating assembly and moves downward under the action of the lifting and lowering assembly. During the downward movement, the end face of the lifting plate is slightly lower than the end face of the conveyor. At the same time, the gas inside the square airbag escapes. During the deflation process of the square airbag, the noodle cakes are slowly placed on the conveyor, and the conveyor directly transports the noodle cakes to the packaging process. S7: The noodle cakes and the individually packaged seasonings are put into the bag together, and nitrogen replacement packaging is used to extend the shelf life.

[0016] Advantages of the present invention: By setting the conveying mechanism, the lifting plate can move in the vertical direction under the action of the lifting and lowering assembly. During the movement, through the intersection of the gaps of the conveyor and its own gaps, the noodle cakes on the conveyor are transported above itself. Subsequently, the rotating assembly drives the lifting plate to deflect, and then moves downward again through the lifting and lowering assembly. During the downward movement, the noodle cakes on the lifting plate are transported to another conveyor to carry out the next process.

[0017] By setting the connecting assembly, when the lifting plate moves upward, the square airbag expands, so that the square airbag is in direct contact with the noodle cakes. While transferring the noodle cakes to the lifting plate, it ensures that the noodle cakes are in soft contact with the square airbag on the lifting plate. Similarly, when the lifting plate moves downward, to prevent the noodle cakes on the lifting plate from directly and rigidly contacting the conveyor, when the lifting plate reaches the lowest point, the noodle cakes above it have not yet contacted the upper surface of the conveyor, and the two are relatively close. At this time, the release mechanism releases the gas inside the square airbag. As the square airbag deflates, the noodle cakes are slowly placed on the upper surface of the conveyor, ensuring that there will be no direct rigid collision during the transportation of the noodle cakes, and better protecting the noodle cakes during transportation.

[0018] By reasonably setting the angular position of the spiral groove and the length of the offset rod, the present invention can realize the transportation of noodle cakes between two conveyors with different angles or height differences, can handle the situations between different two conveyors, and effectively improves the applicability and flexibility of the present invention.

[0021] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific implementation manners of the present invention will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification

[0022] Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 2, a noodle cake conveying system based on industrialized instant noodle processing is provided, including: side plates 1, a top plate 2 fixedly installed at the upper end of the side plates 1 for providing support, and mounting columns 3 fixedly installed at the lower end of the top plate 2; a conveying mechanism, the conveying mechanism is installed on the mounting columns 3, the conveying mechanism includes a rotating cylinder 4 rotatably installed on the mounting columns 3, a sliding limiting groove opened on the rotating cylinder 4, a lifting cylinder 5 slidably installed inside the sliding groove for lifting the noodle cake, a limiting rod 6 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the lifting cylinder 5, the limiting rod 6 is also slidably installed in the sliding limiting groove, a cross bar 7 fixedly installed at the lower end of the lifting cylinder 5, two lifting plates 8 for carrying the noodle cake are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the cross bar 7, a communication component is installed between the lifting plate 8 and the lifting cylinder 5 through the cross bar 7, and a rotating component and a lifting component are respectively installed at the lower end of the top plate 2.

[0023] Specifically, the transmission mechanism is used to smoothly convey the processed noodle cakes on the conveyor in the frying process to the conveyor in the packaging process. In the existing instant noodle cake processing, the conveyors in the processes after frying all adopt conveyors composed of multiple long rods and push rods, that is, two adjacent long rods cooperate with each other to support both ends of the noodle cake (the distance between two adjacent vertical rods is less than the height of the instant noodle cake), and the middle position is in a suspended state, and the noodle cake is driven to move on the corresponding two long rods by a reciprocating push rod to realize the transportation of the noodle cake. The advantages of such a setting are: the lower end of the noodle cake is in a suspended position, so that even if the noodle cake is broken during transportation, it can fall through the suspended position at the lower end, which is convenient for the collection and cleaning of noodle cake debris. At the same time, the push rod can automatically transport the noodle cakes of the same batch at the same time, that is, one push rod can simultaneously push multiple noodle cakes to be conveyed synchronously on the corresponding long rods.

[0024] Therefore, due to the characteristic that the bottom plate of the noodle cake conveyor of the present invention is composed of multiple long rods, by setting the lifting plate 8, the lifting plate 8 is composed of multiple evenly spaced pallets, and the pallets and the vertical rods intersect with each other, so that when the pallet moves in the vertical direction, it can freely move through the distance between two adjacent vertical rods. With this feature, by setting the rotating assembly and the lifting assembly, the two cooperate with each other to control the movement of the lifting plate 8. The lifting assembly controls the upward movement of the lifting plate 8. When the lifting plate 8 rises to the highest point, the lifting plate 8 exceeds the height of the conveyor and transfers the noodle cake on the conveyor to above itself. Subsequently, the rotating assembly drives the lifting plate 8 to rotate 180°. After the rotation is completed, the lifting plate 8 moves downward. When the lifting plate 8 moves downward to the lowest point, it can transfer the noodle cake above itself to the second conveyor, completing the conveyance of the noodle cake between the two conveyors (this is the description of how the present invention transfers the noodle cake from the higher conveyor to the lower conveyor). Similarly, when it is necessary to transfer the noodle cake from the lower conveyor to the higher conveyor, first lower the lifting plate 8, and then wait until the noodle cake on the conveyor reaches the designated position, and the rising lifting plate 8 transfers and conveys the noodle cake. When the prior art uses a chute to realize the transfer of the noodle cake between two conveyors, it can only transfer from the higher conveyor to the lower conveyor, and cannot realize reverse conveyance, that is, transfer from the lower conveyor to the higher conveyor.

[0025] Referring to Figure 7 - Figure 8 , the rotating assembly includes a support plate one 16 fixedly installed at the lower end of the top plate 2, a support sleeve 17 fixedly installed on the support plate one 16, a transmission rod one 18 rotatably installed in the support sleeve 17, a driving wheel 19 rotatably installed on the side wall of the side plate 1, one end of the transmission rod one 18 is fixedly connected to the axis of the driving wheel 19, a rotating ring 20 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the transmission rod one 18 away from the driving wheel 19, two trigger rods 21 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating ring 20, convex rods 22 are installed at one end of the two trigger rods 21 away from the rotating ring 20, and two spiral grooves 23 with the same size and opposite spiral directions are opened on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 4, and the two spiral grooves 23 cooperate with the corresponding two convex rods 22 to drive the rotating cylinder 4 to rotate.

[0026] The rotating assembly is used to control the rotation of the rotating cylinder 4. Since the lifting cylinder 5 is slidably installed on the sliding limit groove of the rotating cylinder 4 through the limit rod 6, the lifting cylinder 5 can move freely in the vertical direction. At the same time, when the rotating cylinder 4 rotates, it can drive the lifting cylinder 5 to rotate synchronously, and then drive the lifting plate 8 at the lower end of the lifting cylinder 5 to rotate synchronously. The two spiral grooves 23 on the rotating cylinder 4 have the same shape and size and opposite spiral directions. In this way, when the driving wheel 19 drives the trigger rod 21 to move through the rotating ring 20, when the trigger rod 21 moves to a certain position, the convex rod 22 at one end of it enters the corresponding spiral groove 23 during rotation, so that the convex rod 22 drives the rotating cylinder 4 to rotate through the spiral groove 23, and then realizes driving the lifting plate 8 to rotate synchronously.

[0027] The existing chute can only convey the noodle cakes between two parallel conveyors. If there is a certain angle between the two conveyors, the chute needs to be set obliquely according to the angle. At this time, when the noodle cake passes through the chute, it will expand more frequently with the inner wall of the chute, which is more likely to cause the noodle cake to break and crack. However, the present invention can reasonably set the spiral groove 23 on the rotating cylinder 4 according to the angle between the two conveyors, so that by changing the angle of the spiral groove 23, the rotation angle of the lifting plate 8 can be controlled through the rotating cylinder 4, and then the noodle cakes can be conveyed for two conveyors at different angles.

[0028] Refer to Figure 9 - Figure 10 , the lifting assembly includes a second support plate 24 fixedly installed at the lower end of the top plate 2, a second rotating rod 25 rotatably installed on the second support plate 24, a driven wheel 26 rotatably installed on the side wall of the side plate 1, one end of the second rotating rod 25 is fixedly connected to the axis of the driven wheel 26, a biasing rod 27 fixedly installed at the end of the second rotating rod 25 away from the driven wheel 26, a control rod 28 fixedly installed on the side wall of the biasing rod 27, a synchronous plate 29 fixedly installed on the upper side wall of the lifting cylinder 5, an arc sleeve 30 fixedly installed on the side wall of the synchronous plate 29, one end of the control rod 28 is located inside the arc sleeve 30, and a transmission element is installed between the driving wheel 19 and the driven wheel 26.

[0029] Refer to Figure 7 , the transmission element includes a servo motor (not shown in the figure) fixedly installed on the side wall of the side plate 1 away from the driving wheel 19, the driving end of the servo motor slidably passes through the side plate 1 and is connected to the driving wheel 19, and a transmission belt 31 is sleeved and installed between the driving wheel 19 and the driven wheel 26. A controller (not shown in the figure) is fixedly installed on the side plate 1, the controller is electrically connected to the servo motor, and the servo motor pauses for 3 seconds every time it rotates one circle through the controller.

[0030] The transmission component is used to link the rotating component and the lifting component together. That is, when the servo motor drives the driving wheel 19 to rotate one circle through the driving end, the driven wheel 26 will also rotate one circle. When the lifting component drives the offset rod 27 on the second rotating rod 25 to rotate through the rotation of the driven wheel 26, it can drive the control rod 28 to rotate synchronously. When the control rod 28 deflects within the arc-shaped sleeve 30, it will drive the lifting cylinder 5 to reciprocate in the vertical direction through the arc-shaped sleeve 30 and the synchronous plate 29. That is, for each rotation of the driven wheel 26, the lifting cylinder 5 moves back and forth in the vertical direction. At the same time, the arc-shaped sleeve 30 is arranged in an arc shape, so that the distance the arc-shaped sleeve 30 moves in the vertical direction is equal to half of the offset rod 27. That is, when the offset rod 27 rotates half a circle at the highest position, the height of the arc-shaped sleeve 30 remains unchanged in the vertical direction due to its own shape.

[0031] By reasonably setting the position of the spiral groove 23 on the rotating cylinder 4 and the positional relationship between the control rod 28 and the arc-shaped sleeve 30, it can be ensured that when the lifting cylinder 5 moves upward in the vertical direction, the lifting cylinder 5 will not rotate. When the lifting cylinder 5 just rises to the maximum height (when the pancake on the conveyor is conveyed to the lifting plate 8), the offset rod 27 just moves to a horizontal state with the ground and will deflect upward subsequently. At this time, the convex rod 22 on the trigger rod 21 just enters the spiral groove 23 and drives the lifting cylinder 5 to rotate. That is, whenever the lifting cylinder 5 just moves to the highest point, the rotating component will drive the lifting cylinder 5 to deflect. After the deflection is completed, the lifting cylinder 5 moves downward. At this time, the lifting cylinder 5 completes the deflection and moves downward to face the end with the pancake towards another conveyor. When the lifting cylinder 5 moves downward to the lowest point, the lifting cylinder 5 can convey the pancake to another conveyor, completing the conveyance of the pancake. At the same time, the length of the offset rod 27 can be changed, and the movement length of the lifting cylinder 5 in the vertical direction can be realized, so that the present invention can convey the pancake to two conveyors with different height differences.

[0032] The function of the servo motor pausing for 3 seconds for each rotation is as follows: when the lifting cylinder 5 moves downward to the lowest point (when the servo motor completes one rotation), that is, the pancake is conveyed to the conveyor. At this time, it takes a certain amount of time for the conveyor to convey the pancake away from the lifting plate 8. The 3-second pause is used to allow the pancake to be conveyed to a distance. At this time, when the lifting plate 8 moves upward, it will not touch the pancake on the conveyor belt.

[0033] Refer to Figure 3 - Figure 4 As shown in [reference], the connecting component includes a connecting groove 9 opened inside the lifting plate 8 and the cross bar 7, a plurality of mounting grooves opened on the lifting plate 8, square air bags 10 fixedly installed in the mounting grooves for reducing the collision between the lifting plate 8 and the pancake. The square air bags 10 are connected to the connecting groove 9. The lower end inside the lifting cylinder 5 is connected to the connecting groove 9. A one-way valve 11 is fixedly installed at the lower end inside the lifting cylinder 5, and a one-way pipe 12 is fixedly installed on the side wall at the lower end of the lifting cylinder 5.

[0034] The connecting component also includes a fixing plate 13 fixedly installed on the side wall of the installation column 3, a fixing rod 14 fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixing plate 13, and a fixing piston plate 15 rotatably installed at the lower end of the fixing rod 14. The fixing piston plate 15 is located inside the rotating cylinder 4. The connecting component also includes a fixing plate 13 fixedly installed on the side wall of the installation column 3, a fixing rod 14 fixedly installed at the lower end of the fixing plate 13, and a fixing piston plate 15 rotatably installed at the lower end of the fixing rod 14. The fixing piston plate 15 is located inside the rotating cylinder 4.

[0035] The connecting component is used to trigger the square airbag 10 on the lifting plate 8. When the lifting plate 8 moves upward to transfer and convey the pancake on the conveyor, the upper surface of the lifting plate 8 will directly contact the lower surface of the pancake on the conveyor. If the two directly contact, the collision may cause the pancake to break or fracture. Therefore, by designing the connecting component, when the lifting plate 8 moves upward, gas will be filled into the square airbag 10 during the movement, causing the square airbag 10 to expand. The expanded square airbag 10 replaces the direct contact between the lifting plate 8 and the pancake. Since the contact between the square airbag 10 and the pancake is soft, the transfer and conveyance will not cause the pancake to break or fracture.

[0036] The specific principle is as follows: When the lifting plate 8 moves upward, that is, when the lifting cylinder 5 moves upward, since the fixing piston plate 15 inside it is stationary, relative movement occurs between the lifting cylinder 5 and the fixing piston plate 15. Then, the fixing piston plate 15 fills the gas inside the lifting cylinder 5 into the square airbag 10 through the one-way valve 11 and the connecting groove 9, making the square airbag 10 in a collision state. Thus, before the lifting plate 8 moves upward, the inflation of the square airbag 10 is completed, ensuring that the square airbag 10 is in direct contact with the pancake, making the contact between the two soft, protecting the pancake from breaking or fracturing. Because of the one-way tube 12, when the lifting cylinder 5 moves downward, relative movement occurs again between the lifting cylinder 5 and the fixing piston plate 15. At this time, the fixing piston plate 15 can inhale the external gas through the one-way tube 12 for compensation without affecting the gas inside the square airbag 10.

[0037] Refer to Figure 5 - Figure 6 and Figure 11, the releasing mechanism includes a bearing ring 32 rotatably mounted at the lower end of the mounting post 3, a plurality of connecting plates 33 fixedly mounted at the lower end of the bearing ring 32, an intermediate ring 34 fixedly mounted between the lower ends of the plurality of connecting plates 33, symmetric telescopic rods 35 fixedly mounted at the lower end of the intermediate ring 34, and an opening and closing element cooperatively engaged with the telescopic rods 35 mounted on the cross bar 7. The opening and closing element includes two opening and closing boxes 36 fixedly mounted at the upper end of the cross bar 7, an air release groove 37 opened inside the opening and closing box 36, both ends of the air release groove 37 being respectively communicated with the communication groove 9 and the outside, a gas blocking plate 38 fixedly mounted at the lower end of the telescopic rod 35, a card slot opened at the upper end of the opening and closing box 36, and the gas blocking plate 38 being located in the card slot for closing the air release groove 37. The sum of the telescopic length of the telescopic rod 35 and the length of the gas blocking plate 38 is less than the maximum distance of the downward movement of the lifting cylinder 5.

[0038] Similarly, when the lifting plate 8 moves downward to convey the noodle cake to the conveyor of another process, in this process, the lower end of the noodle cake contacts the upper surface of the conveyor of another process. To prevent the noodle cake from being broken or fractured caused by this contact, it can also be avoided through the communication component. When the lifting plate 8 moves downward to the lowest point, the upper surface of the lifting plate 8 is slightly lower than the upper surface of the conveyor. At this time, the communication component discharges the gas in the square airbag 10 through the releasing mechanism. During the process of deflating the square airbag 10, it slowly drives the noodle cake downward. When the noodle cake moves downward and contacts the upper surface of the conveyor, the conveyor can convey the noodle cake away, thus completing the conveyance of the noodle cake. At the same time, throughout the entire conveyance process, it is ensured that the noodle cake will not be expanded and contacted by a large force, effectively protecting the noodle cake.

[0039] The working principle of the releasing mechanism is as follows: When the lifting plate 8 moves downward to the lowest point, at this time, the upper surface of the lifting plate 8 is slightly lower than the upper surface of the conveyor. At the same time, since the sum of the telescopic length of the telescopic rod 35 and the length of the gas blocking plate 38 is less than the maximum distance of the downward movement of the lifting cylinder 5, therefore, the gas blocking plate 38 moves relative to the opening and closing box 36 under the pressure of the telescopic rod 35, so that the gas blocking plate 38 no longer closes the air release groove 37 inside the opening and closing box 36. At this time, the communication groove 9 is communicated with the outside through the air release groove 37, and gradually discharges the gas inside the square airbag 10. During the process of deflating the square airbag 10, it slowly drives the noodle cake downward, so that the noodle cake slowly contacts the upper part of the conveyor. After the surface of the conveyor contacts the noodle cake, it drives the noodle cake to move, ensuring that the noodle cake is less impacted when being conveyed to another conveyor, and protecting the noodle cake.

[0040] A kind of instant noodle industrial processing technology, including the following steps: S1: Mix wheat flour, water, salt and alkaline water in proportion and stir to form dough, and let it stand for ripening; S2: The ripened dough is rolled and extended through multiple rolling mills and formed into wavy noodles by a corrugated cutter; S3: The cut noodles are steamed in 100°C steam for 2 minutes to make the degree of starch α - modification reach over 80%. Meanwhile, the protein denatures to fix the structure of the noodle body; S4: The noodles are fried in 160°C palm oil for 70 seconds, and the moisture content is reduced to 3 - 5% to form a porous structure. After frying and cooling, the noodle cake is conveyed by a conveyor to the waiting conveyance area; S5: When the noodle cake on the conveyor in the frying process is conveyed to the conveyor in the packaging process, the driving end of the servo - motor drives the driving wheel 19 and the driven wheel 26 to rotate synchronously (one end of the deflecting rod 27 is at the lowest position before rotation). When the driven wheel 26 rotates, it drives the deflecting rod 27 and the control rod 28 to rotate synchronously through the second rotating rod 25. When the control rod 28 rotates following the deflecting rod 27, it can drive the lifting cylinder 5 to move in the vertical direction through the arc - shaped sleeve 30 and the synchronous plate 29. When the deflecting rod 27 deflects by 90°, the lifting cylinder 5 drives the lifting plate 8 to rise. During the rising process of the lifting cylinder 5, it moves relative to the fixed piston plate 15 inside. During the relative movement, the fixed piston plate 15 allows the gas inside the lifting cylinder 5 to enter the communication groove 9 through the one - way valve 11, and then enter the square airbag 10 through the communication groove 9, causing the square airbag 10 to expand. And the upper surface of the square airbag 10 is higher than the upper surface of the lifting plate 8, so that when the lifting plate 8 rises to the maximum height, the square airbag 10 first contacts the noodle cake on the conveyor and conveys and transfers the noodle cake above the lifting plate 8. At this time, the lifting plate 8 is at the highest position, and the height of the lifting plate 8 is higher than the surface of the conveyor.

[0041] S6: When the lifting plate 8 is at the highest position. The deflecting rod 27 deflects by 90°. At this time, the convex rod 22 on the trigger rod 21 just enters the corresponding spiral groove 23, so that when the deflecting rod 27 deflects, it drives the rotating cylinder 4 to rotate through the convex rod 22, and then drives the lifting plate 8 on the lifting cylinder 5 to rotate synchronously by 180°. At this time, the turning of the lifting plate 8 is completed; When the lifting cylinder 5 moves downward, the telescopic rod 35 expands and contracts, and the fixed piston plate 15 and the lifting cylinder 5 move in the opposite direction relative to each other again. At this time, the fixed piston plate 15 inhales outside air into the lifting cylinder 5 through the one - way pipe 12, rather than affecting the square airbag 10. Before the lifting cylinder 5 descends to the lowest position and before the lifting plate 8 also descends to the lowest position, since the telescopic rod 35 is stretched to the maximum length, when the lifting cylinder 5 descends to the lowest position, the telescopic rod 35 pulls the air - blocking plate 38 to move, so that the air - blocking plate 38 no longer closes the air - discharging groove 37 inside the opening - closing box 36. At this time, the gas inside the square airbag 10 enters the outside through the air - discharging groove 37. During the deflation process of the square airbag 10, the noodle cake above is slowly placed on the conveyor, enabling the conveyor to convey the noodle cake. The servo - motor pauses for 3 seconds and repeats the operation again to convey the noodle cake in a pipeline - type manner.

[0042] S7: The conveyor transports the pancake to the packaging area. The pancake and the individually packaged seasonings are put into the bag together, and nitrogen replacement packaging is used to extend the shelf life.
