Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of food processing, and particularly to a production and forming process for ingot-shaped dumplings. Background Art

[0002] The production of traditional ingot-shaped dumplings mainly relies on manual operation. Not only is the production efficiency low, making it difficult to meet the growing market demand, but also due to the differences in manual operation, the shapes, sizes, and qualities of the dumplings are uneven. With the development of food industrialization, although there are some dumpling production equipment on the market, for dumplings with a specific shape like ingot-shaped dumplings, the existing production processes still have many deficiencies. For example, in the filling process, it is difficult to achieve precise quantitative filling, and there is a tendency for too much or too little filling. The dough skins are not pressed tightly enough, and problems such as broken skins and leaking fillings are likely to occur during subsequent processing or cooking. The forming effect is not ideal, and it is impossible to stably produce ingot-shaped dumplings with regular appearances that meet consumers' aesthetics. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to improve the processing efficiency of ingot-shaped dumplings, this application provides a production and forming process for ingot-shaped dumplings.

[0004] The production and forming process for ingot-shaped dumplings provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions: It includes a noodle-making process, a noodle-supplying process, a filling process, a dough-skin pressing process, a forming process, and a discharging process, which are carried out in sequence.

[0005] Noodle-making process: After the dough is conveyed to the dumpling-skin forming device, it is gradually extruded by a noodle press composed of multiple pressing rollers, making the dough thinner and finally forming two sets of uniformly thick dough sheets, one on top and the other at the bottom. During this process, the spacing and pressure of the pressing rollers can be adjusted according to the set values, so as to produce dumpling skins of different thicknesses. For consumers who like thin-skinned dumplings, the spacing between the pressing rollers can be reduced and the pressure increased to make thinner dumpling skins; while for consumers who prefer thick-skinned dumplings, the spacing between the pressing rollers can be appropriately increased and the pressure reduced. Noodle-supplying process: The upper feeding platform is responsible for providing the dough sheet for the upper-layer dumpling skins. This dough sheet needs to undergo two noodle-pressing treatments to reach the appropriate thickness and toughness, ensuring that it is not easily damaged during subsequent processing and can be well attached to the lower-layer dough sheet. The lower feeding belt platform first presses the dough sheet for the lower-layer dumpling skins twice and transports it to the next process through the plate-chain die forming line. Concave pits are provided on each drag plate of the plate-chain die forming line. During this process, the flattening pressing roller flattens the dough sheet and attaches it to the plate-chain die forming line, and then it is pressed down by the lower dough-skin pressing mold, making the dough sheet form a shape with concave pits. These concave pits will be used to precisely hold the dumpling filling, laying the foundation for the subsequent filling process. Filling process: The corner filling pump controls the extrusion of dumpling filling according to the set amount and fills it into the dough strip in the recess of the drag plate. The corner filling pump cooperates with the plate chain die forming line to ensure that the filling amount of each dumpling is consistent, avoiding uneven distribution of the filling, so as to ensure the stable taste and quality of the ingot-shaped dumplings. Dough pressing process: When the dough strips on the upper and lower dough supply platforms converge at the drag plate, the pressing roller immediately presses the two dough strips tightly together, so that the filling is completely wrapped in the middle, forming a preliminary dumpling shape. In this process, the dough strip carrying the filling combines with the upper dough strip and is compacted when passing through the dough pressing roller, forming a multi-layer structure with filling, further enhancing the bonding degree between the dough and the filling, and effectively preventing the filling from leaking.

[0006] Forming process: The upper forming die extrudes and forms the pressed dough strip. Through the set forming die and extrusion action, the upper and lower parts of the dumpling skin are pinched together to shape the final shape of the ingot-shaped dumpling. In this process, through the extrusion of the forming die, the dumplings are pressed out into individual pieces and strictly formed according to the shape of the die. The formed dumplings will pass through the surplus dough recycling device to recycle the excess dough, improve the utilization rate of raw materials, and reduce production costs.

[0007] Discharging process: The formed ingot-shaped dumplings are ejected from the equipment through the ejection structure. The blanking manipulator stably takes out the formed ingot-shaped dumplings from the equipment through the set clamping structure, avoiding damage to the dumplings during the material taking process. Subsequently, the blanking manipulator places the ingot-shaped dumplings on the blanking conveyor to achieve the rapid transfer of the dumplings. In addition, a tray loading process is arranged after the discharging process. The tray transmission mechanism moves the tray to the lower part of the discharging conveyor, so that the finished ingot-shaped dumplings can accurately fall into the designated position of the tray, facilitating subsequent packaging, storage and transportation.

[0008] In summary, the present application includes the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The present invention realizes the full-process automation of the production of ingot-shaped dumplings. By adjusting various parameters such as the pressure and spacing of the upper pressing roller of the dough pressing machine and the filling amount of the corner filling pump, it is convenient to unify the dough and filling of the ingot-shaped dumplings and ensure the consistency of the appearance of the ingot-shaped dumplings; 2. The setting of the recess in the middle position of the drag plate on the plate chain die forming line, and with the cooperation of the lower dough forming die, is used for the forming of the bottom of the ingot-shaped dumplings. The corner filling pump fills the set amount of filling into the recess of the lower dough strip. The upper dough strip is moved to the dough pressing roller through the upper dough supply conveyor to ensure the feeding of the ingot-shaped dumplings; 3. In the dough pressing process, a set forming mold and extrusion action are used to closely press two layers of dough, effectively preventing the leakage of the filling. Moreover, the excess dough is cut, ensuring the appearance of the ingot-shaped dumplings. The setting of the remaining dough recycling device enables the recycling and reuse of the excess dough, reducing the waste of raw materials. Detailed implementation manners

[0009] The embodiment of the present application discloses a production and forming process for ingot-shaped dumplings. During production, first, the prepared dough is put into the feeding port of the dumpling wrapper forming device, and the equipment is started. According to the preset dumpling wrapper thickness parameters, the distance and pressure of the pressing rollers in the sheet pressing device are adjusted. Under the action of the pressing rollers, the dough is gradually extruded into two sets of upper and lower uniform-thickness dough strips, which are respectively conveyed to the upper feeding platform and the lower feeding belt platform. After the upper feeding platform performs two dough pressing processes on the upper-layer dough strip of the dumpling wrapper, it is temporarily stored for later use; after the lower feeding belt platform completes two dough pressing processes on the lower-layer dough strip of the dumpling wrapper, the dough strip is conveyed to the drag plate conveyor. Driven by the drag plate conveyor, the lower dough strip enters the plate chain mold forming line and is smoothly attached to the plate chain mold forming line under the action of the flattening and pressing rollers. Then, the lower dough pressing mold presses a pit on the dough strip. Meanwhile, after the filling is prepared, it is stored in the filling storage device. When the lower dough strip forms a state with pits, the corner filling pump accurately extrudes and fills the dumpling filling into the dough strip in the pits according to the set filling amount, and ensures that the filling is located in the central position of the dough strip. After the filling is completed, the upper feeding platform conveys the upper-layer dough strip of the dumpling wrapper to the drag plate, where it converges with the lower-layer dough strip carrying the filling. At this time, the pressing and pressing rollers quickly press the two dough strips tightly together. Subsequently, the set forming mold and mechanical actions perform preliminary kneading on the pressed dough strip, making it present a general outline of an ingot shape. Then, the upper forming die presses the preliminarily formed dumplings to make them fully meet the shape requirements of the ingot-shaped dumplings. After being formed, the dumplings pass through the remaining dough recycling device to recycle the excess dough. Finally, the formed dumplings are ejected by the ejection structure. The blanking manipulator takes out the formed ingot-shaped dumplings from the equipment through the set clamping structure and places them on the blanking conveyor. The tray transmission mechanism moves the tray to below the discharging conveyor, and the blanking conveyor transports the ingot-shaped dumplings to the designated position on the tray to complete the tray loading for subsequent packaging and transportation. During the whole production process, the operating parameters of each process can be monitored in real time through the control system of the equipment and adjusted according to the actual situation to ensure the stability of the production process and the reliability of the product quality.

[0010] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application. The protection scope of the present application is not limited by this. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
