[0025] See Figure 1-21 This application discloses a rice noodle roll machine and a method for producing rice noodle rolls. The rice noodle roll machine and the method for producing rice noodle rolls can be applied to realize the industrialized and automated production and processing of rice noodle rolls.

[0026] Firstly, this application discloses a rice noodle roll machine, such as Figure 1 and Figure 20 As shown, the system includes a cooking unit 200, a pulping unit 100, a rice noodle rolling unit 300, and an oiling mechanism 400. The cooking unit 200 includes a tunnel-type steamer 210 and a first conveyor belt device 218. One end of the steamer 210 along its length has an inlet 213, and the other end has an outlet 214 opposite to the inlet 213. The upper conveying surface of the first conveyor belt device 218 is a first conveying surface 220. The first conveying surface 220 extends into the steamer 210 from the inlet 213 and extends along its length before exiting from the outlet 214. The end of the first conveying surface 220 closest to the outlet 214 (the conveying end of the first conveying surface 220) is designated as the output end of the cooking unit 200. The pulping unit 100 is used to... The batter for making rice noodle rolls is laid on the first conveying surface 220 from the inlet 213. The rice noodle rolling unit 300 is located at the output end of the cooking unit 200, generally with the starting end of the second conveying surface 302 receiving the lower side of the output end. It includes a second conveyor belt device 301, with the upper conveying surface of the second conveyor belt device 301 being the second conveying surface 302. Along the conveying direction of the second conveying surface 302, a cutting mechanism 303, a rice noodle rolling mechanism 304, and a slitting mechanism 305 are sequentially arranged above the second conveying surface 302. The oiling mechanism 400 is located between the output end and the starting end of the second conveying surface 302.

[0027] In use, the batter for making rice noodle rolls is automatically added to the cooking unit 200 via the batter-forming unit 100, and then processed into rice noodle roll sheets by the cooking unit 200. The processed rice noodle roll sheets can be automatically rolled and cut into products by the rolling unit 300. The oiling mechanism 400 can coat the rice noodle roll sheets with edible oil, which not only enhances the flavor of the rice noodle rolls but also prevents them from sticking together after being rolled, thus affecting the taste.

[0028] Secondly, this application discloses a method for producing rice noodle rolls, applied to the rice noodle roll machine described above, such as... Figure 18 As shown, the production method of rice noodle rolls includes: Step 1: Put the first conveyor belt device 218 into working condition and move the first conveying surface 220 from the inlet 213 to the outlet 214. Put the second conveyor belt device 301 into working condition and move the second conveying surface 302 from the direction near the outlet to the direction away from the outlet.

[0029] Step 2: The slurry is continuously laid from the inlet 213 onto the first conveying surface 220 by the slurry-raising unit 100, so that the slurry moves with the first conveying surface 220.

[0030] Step 3: The slurry on the first conveying surface 220 is steamed through the steamer 210 so that the slurry is cooked on the first conveying surface 220 and forms rice noodle rolls.

[0031] Step 4: The rice noodle roll is introduced from the output end to the starting end of the second conveying surface 302. Before entering the second conveying surface 302, the rice noodle roll passes through the oiling mechanism 400, which applies edible oil to one side of the rice noodle roll.

[0032] Step 5: The rice noodle roll sheet is conveyed from the beginning to the end of the second conveying surface 302 along the second conveying surface 302. During the conveying process, the rice noodle roll sheet is cut into segments arranged along the length of the second conveying surface 302 by the cutting mechanism 303. Then, the rice noodle roll segments are rolled into rice noodle strips by the rolling mechanism 304. Finally, the rice noodle strips are cut into rice noodle products along the length of the rice noodle strips by the cutting mechanism 305.

[0033] The length of the rice noodle roll skin segments is determined by the size and shape of the rolled rice noodle strips, and the length of the segments cut into rice noodle roll products is determined by the specifications of the rice noodle rolls (such as the length of the packaging box).

[0034] By specifically applying the rice noodle roll production method of this application to the rice noodle roll machine of this application, the production of rice noodle rolls is made more automated and efficient.

[0035] To facilitate understanding of the technical solution of this application, a detailed introduction will continue below, combining the rice noodle roll machine and the rice noodle roll production method.

[0036] In the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the cooking unit 200 includes a first mounting frame 201 for support; the steamer 210 includes a steaming water tank 211 disposed on the first mounting frame 201, the top of the steaming water tank 211 being open, as shown...

At both ends of the steaming water tank 211 along the length direction, the cover 212 and the steaming water tank 211 are provided with an inlet 213 and an outlet 214 respectively by means of a gap at the end. The steaming water tank 211 is provided with a steam pipe 215, which extends from the outside of the steaming water tank 211 to the inside of the steaming water tank 211 and extends to the bottom of the first conveying surface 220.

[0037] Based on this, the method for steaming in step three is as follows: first, the lid 212 is closed on the steaming water tank 211, and then a high-temperature steam source is connected to the steam pipe 215 outside the steaming water tank 211, and high-temperature steam is introduced into the steaming water tank 211 through the steam pipe 215.

[0038] The slurry is steamed into rice noodle rolls by controlling the steam temperature and the residence time of the slurry inside the steamer 210 as it moves along the first conveyor surface 220.

[0039] In some implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the side of the lid 212 is hinged to the steaming water tank 211, allowing the lid 212 to open or close the top opening of the steaming water tank 211 by a swinging motion. To facilitate the opening and closing of the lid 212, a handle 244 is also provided. Furthermore, a thermometer 216 for detecting the temperature inside the steaming chamber 210 is provided on the lid 212. Figure 2 As shown, in order to discharge cooling steam and water vapor in a timely manner and achieve precise temperature control, and to prevent steam from overflowing from the inlet 213 and outlet 214 and forming a large amount of mist in the production workshop, fume hoods 217 are installed above the inlet 213 and outlet 214 at both ends of the steam chamber 210. The fume hoods 217 can be connected to the exhaust system to remove the mist.

[0040] In the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first conveyor belt device 218 includes a cleaning water tank 225, a drive roller 221, a first rotation drive device 223, a driven roller 222, a first guide shaft 228, a second guide shaft 229, a scraper 230, and an annular cloth belt 219. The cleaning water tank 225 can also be mounted on the first mounting frame 201, positioned directly below the steaming water tank 211, with an open top for the steaming water tank 211. The drive roller 221 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting frame 201, positioned on the side of the output port 214 away from the input port 213. The first rotation drive device 223 is mounted on the first mounting frame 201 and is drively connected to the drive roller 221. The driven roller 222 is rotatably mounted on the first mounting frame 201, positioned on the side of the input port 213 away from the output port 214. At least two first guide shafts 228 are provided, both of which are detachably mounted inside the cleaning water tank 225, respectively located at both ends of the length of the cleaning water tank 225. A second guide shaft 229 is detachably mounted on the cleaning water tank 225, located at the opening of the cleaning water tank 225 near the outlet 214. Figure 7 As shown, the scraper 230 is disposed inside the cleaning water tank 225, between the second guide shaft 229 and the first guide shaft 228 near the second guide shaft 229, with the cutting edge 231 of the scraper 230 (the cutting edge 231 has a certain degree of bluntness and is not sharp) facing upward. The annular fabric belt 219 passes around the driving roller 221, the driven roller 222, the first guide shaft 228, and the second guide shaft 229, so that the driving roller 221, the driven roller 222, the first guide shaft 228, and the second guide shaft 229 are all supported on the inner side of the annular fabric belt 219, and the cutting edge 231 is supported on the outer side of the annular fabric belt 219.

[0041] The annular fabric belt 219 is the conveyor belt of the first conveyor belt device 218. When setting the driving roller 221 and the driven roller 222, the driving roller 221 and the driven roller 222 are at the same horizontal height. At the same time, the upper side of the driving roller 221 and the driven roller 222 is flush with the lower side of the inlet 213 and the outlet 214. That is, the upper side of the part of the annular fabric belt 219 between the driving roller 221 and the driven roller 222 is the first conveying surface 220, so that the first conveying surface 220 is in a horizontal state. Meanwhile, a part of the lower side of the annular fabric belt 219 will be introduced into the cleaning water tank 225 under the constraint of the first guide shaft 228.

[0042] Based on this, the rice noodle roll production method also includes an automatic cleaning method for the annular cloth belt 219, the steps of which include: A certain amount of water is filled into the cleaning water tank 225, so that the water depth covers part of the annular cloth belt 219 inside the cleaning water tank 225. The annular fabric belt 219 is driven to rotate by the first rotation drive device 223 controlling the rotation of the active roller 221. The annular fabric belt 219 moves in a cyclical direction from the input port 213 to the output port 214. The scraper 230 removes the attachments (such as unremoved rice noodle skin residue) on the outer side (first conveyor surface 220) of the annular cloth belt 219 by scraping, and then the annular cloth belt 219 is cleaned by water in the cleaning water tank 225 by passing it through the cleaning water tank 225.

[0043] In some embodiments, in addition to this, the steaming water tank 211 is provided with a connecting pipe connected to the top of the cleaning water tank 225. During the steaming process, the condensed water will overflow as hot water along the connecting pipe to the cleaning water tank 225, so as to use hot water to clean the annular cloth belt 219.

[0044] In some embodiments, the conveyor belt used in the first conveyor belt device 218 is a ring-shaped high-temperature resistant fabric belt. Because the fabric belt material is breathable, using a high-temperature fabric bag as the conveyor belt of the first conveyor belt device 218 has two advantages: firstly, it facilitates the steaming of the slurry, ensuring thorough cooking and even steaming results, resulting in good quality consistency; secondly, after the conveyor belt passes through the cleaning water tank 225, a water film can form on the first conveying surface 220, preventing the slurry from immediately seeping into the gaps of the high-temperature fabric bag and forming an interlocking pattern. Generally, there are no major restrictions on the direction of the high-temperature steam outlet, or it can exit from the lower side of the first conveying surface 220 to the lower side. In some embodiments, the high-temperature steam can exit from the lower side of the first conveying surface 220 to the upper side, allowing a certain amount of air to pass through the ring-shaped fabric belt 219 to form an air film on the first conveying surface 220, preventing the steamed rice noodle rolls from seeping into the gaps of the high-temperature fabric bag and forming an interlocking pattern. This facilitates the separation of the steamed rice noodle roll skin from the first conveyor surface 220.

[0045] In the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 5As shown, the first mounting bracket 201 includes a lower support body 202, an upper support body 203, a first support column 204, a second support column 207, a first mounting arm 208, and a second mounting arm 209. The upper support body 203 is positioned above the lower support body 202 and houses the steamer 210. The lower support body 202 can be used to house a cleaning water tank 225 or simply as a mounting support. The first support column 204 is positioned on one side of the steamer 210 in the width direction, with its lower end connected to the lower support body 202 and its upper end connected to the upper support body 203. The second support column 207 is positioned on the opposite side of the steamer 210 in the width direction, with its lower end connected to the lower support body 202 and its upper end connected to the upper support body 203. The upper support body 203 is supported above the lower support body 202 by the first support column 204 and the second support column 207. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a cut-out 205 is provided in the middle of the first support column 204, and a locking device 206 is provided on the first support column 204. The lower and upper sides of the cut-out 205 are connected by the locking device 206, so that the first support column 204 is spliced ​​at the cut-out 205. To ensure the stability of the support effect, multiple first support columns 204 and second support columns 207 can be used. When an external force is applied, the cut-out 205 of the first support column 204 can form a gap. Under normal conditions, the locking device 206 can connect the first support columns 204 to splice them at the cut-out 205 to ensure structural stability. A first mounting arm 208 is mounted on the upper support body 203, located at one end near the input port 213 and extending away from the output port 214. A driven roller 222 is mounted on the first mounting arm 208. A second mounting arm 209 is mounted on the upper support body 203, located at one end near the output port 214 and extending away from the input port 213. A drive roller 221 is mounted on the second mounting arm 209. The first mounting arm 208 or the second mounting arm 209 can be configured as a separate unit, or both can be configured as two parts. The two first mounting arms 208 are respectively located on both sides of the upper part of the first mounting frame 201 to support the two ends of the driven roller 222 through bearing seats, or the two second mounting arms 209 are respectively located on both sides of the upper part of the first mounting frame 201 to support the two ends of the drive roller 221 through bearing seats.

[0046] Based on this, the rice noodle roll production method also includes a method for replacing the annular cloth belt 219, the steps of which include: During disassembly, first remove the first guide shaft 228 and the second guide shaft 229 from the cleaning water tank 225, and keep the tank cover 212 in the open state. Here, the driven roller 222 can be loosened first to release the tension of the annular cloth belt 219 before removing the first guide shaft 228 and the second guide shaft 229. Then, the locking device 206 is opened to allow the cut end 205 to be in an unrestrained state; Then, an external force is applied to create a certain gap in the cut end 205, and the portion of the annular cloth strip 219 between the steamer 210 and the cleaning water tank 225 passes through the cut end 205 so that the annular cloth strip 219 is entirely outside the first mounting bracket 201. Then, the annular fabric tape 219 without external constraints can be removed from the outside of the first mounting bracket 201.

[0047] During installation, first, open the locking device 206 to make the cut end 205 unrestrained and open the box cover 212. Then, an external force is applied to create a certain gap in the cut 205, and one side of the annular cloth strip 219 is passed through the cut 205 so that one side of the annular cloth strip 219 is between the steamer 210 and the washing water tank 225. Then, connect the latches to align the cut ends 205; Then, the other side of the annular cloth strip 219 is wrapped around the driven roller 222 and the driving roller 221, and the annular cloth strip 219 is passed through the inside of the steamer 210. Then, the first guide shaft 228 and the second guide shaft 229 are installed, so that the first guide shaft 228 and the second guide shaft 229 are both supported on the inner side of the annular cloth belt 219, and the cutting edge 231 is supported on the outer side of the annular cloth belt 219.

[0048] The annular conveyor belt 219 is prone to stretching or wear after prolonged high-temperature steaming, necessitating periodic replacement. However, typical conveyor belt designs require disassembling numerous components for belt replacement, making the process cumbersome and potentially affecting installation accuracy, necessitating readjustment. In contrast, this design avoids disassembling the drive roller 221, transmission roller 233, and other precision-controlled structural components for the annular conveyor belt 219. Therefore, it can be reused immediately after replacement without further adjustments, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0049] In some implementations, such as Figure 8As shown, a U-shaped groove 226 with an opening facing the first guide shaft 228 and the second guide shaft 229 is provided at the connection point of the cleaning water tank 225. The ends of the first guide shaft 228 and the second guide shaft 229 are embedded in the U-shaped groove 226, and the first guide shaft 228 and the second guide shaft 229 are restrained by the annular cloth strip 219 to prevent them from falling off, thus achieving a detachable connection. Furthermore, an elastic protrusion 227 for restraining the ends of the first guide shaft 228 and the second guide shaft 229 can also be provided at the opening of the U-shaped groove 226.

[0050] In the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the cooking unit 200 also includes a receiving conveyor belt 232, two drive rollers 233, and a second rotation drive device 236. This part can also be directly mounted on the first mounting frame 201. Specifically, the receiving conveyor belt 232 is located below the steamer 210 and includes two opposing drive chains 237. Several support rods 238 are arranged between the two drive chains 237, circumferentially arranged along the length of the drive chains 237. Each support rod 238 has its two ends correspondingly connected to a link of the drive chain 237. One of the two drive rollers 233 is rotatably located below the input port 213, and the other is located below the end of the first conveying surface 220 (below the drive roller 221). The drive roller 233 includes a rotatable shaft 234, with first sprockets 235 positioned at both ends of the shaft. The second rotation drive device 236 is connected to one of the drive rollers 233 to control the rotation of the shaft 234. The receiving conveyor belt 232 is fitted onto two first sprockets 235, with one end of the receiving conveyor belt 232 positioned below the output port 214 and the other end close to and below the conveying end of the first conveying surface 220. The two first sprockets 235 on each rotating shaft 234 are respectively engaged with two transmission chains 237. The end of the receiving conveyor belt 232 located below the input port 213 is redesignated as the output end of the cooking unit 200.

[0051] After steaming in steamer 210, the upper side of the rice noodle roll (the side facing away from the first conveyor surface 220) is relatively smooth, resulting in a better sensory texture. Because the rolling mechanism 304 rolls the rice noodle roll, the side closest to the second conveyor surface 302 faces outwards. Therefore, after leaving the first conveyor surface 220, the rice noodle roll enters the receiving conveyor belt 232 downwards, flipping it so that the side closest to the first conveyor surface 220 faces upwards. Then it enters the rolling unit 300. This way, the smoother side of the rolled rice noodle roll faces outwards, giving the rice noodle roll product a higher sensory quality. Furthermore, the receiving conveyor belt 232 extends the conveying distance of the rice noodle roll before entering the rolling unit 300, cooling the rice noodle roll and reducing the risk of it sticking together during storage after being rolled. Additionally, the receiving conveyor belt 232 is directly located below the steamer 210, saving floor space and reducing the footprint of the rice noodle roll machine.

[0052] Furthermore, the position height of the drive roller 233 near the end of the first conveying surface 220 is higher than the position height of the drive roller 233 below the inlet 213; for example Figure 5 As shown, the receiving conveyor belt 232 also includes two guide rollers 239. The two guide rollers 239 are positioned below the output port 214 and opposite to the drive roller 233 below the input port 213. Each guide roller 239 includes a rotatable guide shaft 240, with second sprockets 241 positioned at both ends. The two guide rollers 239 are respectively positioned above the upper conveyor belt and the lower conveyor belt of the receiving conveyor belt 232, and the second sprockets 241 mesh with the drive chain 237 below them. The two guide rollers 239... 39. The receiving conveyor belt 232 has a conveying slope that extends obliquely upward from below the output port 214 to near the end of the first conveying surface 220; a rotatable brush roller 242 is provided on the lower side of the receiving conveyor belt 232, the length direction of the brush roller 242 is parallel to the width direction of the receiving conveyor belt 232, the brush roller 242 is provided with bristles all around, a first oil storage tank 243 is provided below the brush roller 242, the bristles on the lower side of the brush roller 242 extend into the first oil storage tank 243, and the bristles on the upper side of the brush roller 242 contact the lower side of the receiving conveyor belt 232.

[0053] By bringing the starting end of the receiving conveyor belt 232 closer to the ending end of the first conveyor surface 220, the suspended distance of the rice noodle roll before entering the starting end of the receiving conveyor belt 232 after leaving the ending end of the first conveyor surface 220 is reduced, thus preventing the rice noodle roll from breaking.

[0054] The conveyor belt 232 supports the rice noodle rolls via the support rods 238. This serves two purposes: firstly, it helps dissipate heat from the rice noodle rolls, and secondly, it provides a good support effect, preventing the rice noodle rolls from breaking during transport.

[0055] In some embodiments, to facilitate the installation of the drive roller 233 near the end of the first conveying surface 220, the first mounting bracket 201 is further provided with a support arm extending to the lower side of the second mounting arm 209. The drive roller 233 near the end of the first conveying surface 220 can be mounted on the support arm. Meanwhile, the upper end of the support arm and the second mounting arm 209 are detachably connected by bolts. When disassembling the annular fabric belt 219, after loosening the bolts between the upper end of the support arm and the second mounting arm 209, the annular fabric belt 219 can be removed from between the upper end of the support arm and the second mounting arm 209.

[0056] Edible oil is stored in the first oil storage tank 243. The brush roller 242 rotates as the conveyor belt 232 moves. The bristles of the brush roller 242 continuously dip into the edible oil from the first oil storage tank 243 and apply it to the support rod 238. The edible oil can form a barrier between the support rod 238 and the rice noodle sheet, preventing the rice noodle sheet from sticking to the support rod 238.

[0057] In the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 10-12 As shown, the pulping unit 100 includes: a second mounting bracket 101 for mounting support; an upper paddle plate 102 with a top-open pulp storage tank 103, the upper paddle plate 102 being mounted on the second mounting bracket 101 and located on the side of the input port 213 of the ripening unit 200; a pulping roller 104 being rotatably mounted directly above the upper paddle plate 102, and a fifth rotation drive device 105 being mounted on the second mounting bracket 101 and connected to the pulping roller 104 in a transmission manner, the length direction of the pulping roller 104 being parallel to the width direction of the first conveying surface 220, the position height of the pulping roller 104 being higher than the first conveying surface 220, and the lower side of the pulping roller 104 being submerged in the pulp storage tank 103; and an upper pulping plate 106 being inclinedly mounted on the first conveying surface 220 so that the upper edge of the upper pulping plate 106 contacts the upper side of the pulping roller 104 (preferably in a tangential manner), and the lower side of the upper pulping plate 106 extending above the first conveying surface 220.

[0058] Based on this, step two, which involves continuously laying slurry from the inlet 213 direction onto the first conveying surface 220 via the slurry-raising unit 100, includes: First, the batter used to make rice noodle rolls is poured into the batter storage tank 103; Then, the fifth rotation drives the slurry roller 104 to rotate, with the rotation direction facing the upper edge of the slurry plate 106.

[0059] Using the above method, the rotating slurry roller 104 causes the slurry to adhere to its surface. When it passes the upper edge of the slurry plate 106, the upper edge of the slurry plate 106 transfers the slurry from the slurry roller 104 onto the slurry plate 106, and under the influence of gravity, it flows downward along the slurry plate 106 towards the first conveying surface 220. It is worth noting that by having the slurry roller 104 cause the slurry to adhere to its surface, the slurry is evenly spread on the first conveying surface 220, providing a basic condition for making thinner, more uniform rice noodle rolls. The thickness of the slurry is controlled by gravity screening and the rotation speed of the slurry roller 104, in conjunction with the moving speed of the first conveying surface 220. At the same time, after the slurry enters the slurry plate 106, it adheres to the slurry plate 106 and flows downward, naturally spreading out during the flow, achieving a consistent thickness of slurry on the first conveying surface 220, with good uniformity.

[0060] The second mounting bracket 101, which is used for installation support, is mainly used to support and connect the upper paddle disc 102, set the paddle roller 104, the fifth rotation drive device 105, etc. The second mounting bracket 101 can be set independently or connected to the first mounting bracket 201, but it is preferred to set it independently.

[0061] Generally, a gap exists between the first mounting bracket 201 and the second mounting bracket 101 to facilitate the replacement of the annular tape 219. However, in some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the first mounting arm 208, the structure of the second mounting bracket 101 may be used to support the first mounting arm 208. In this case, the connection between the first mounting arm 208 and the second mounting bracket 101 may be made detachable, or the first mounting arm 208 may also be made detachable. In this case, when the annular tape 219 needs to be replaced, the connection between the first mounting arm 208 and the second mounting bracket 101 can be disassembled, and the annular tape 219 can be removed from the gap between the first mounting arm 208 and the second mounting bracket 101 (the gap can be formed by applying external force).

[0062] In some embodiments, the lower edge of the slurry plate 106 contacts the first conveying surface 220, and a support plate 224 for support is provided on the lower side of the first conveying surface 220.

[0063] In some implementations, such as Figure 10 As shown, a slurry tank 107 is provided on the second mounting frame 101, and a slurry outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the slurry tank 107. The slurry outlet of the slurry outlet pipe 108 extends above the upper slurry plate 102. For example... Figure 12As shown, a stirring device 109 is also installed inside the slurry tank 107. The prepared slurry can be introduced into the slurry tank 107 by pumping or other means. The slurry in the slurry tank 107 is stirred by the stirring device 109 to prevent sedimentation or segregation. Then, the slurry in the slurry tank 107 is introduced into the upper impeller plate 102 through the slurry outlet pipe 108 to control a small amount of outflow and prevent the slurry from sedimenting or segregating in the upper impeller plate 102. A regulating valve 110 can also be installed on the slurry outlet pipe 108 to control the slurry outflow rate.

[0064] In some implementations, to ensure better working results, the thickness of the slurry plate 106 is generally relatively thin, such as 0.8mm-1.5mm. However, the width of the slurry plate 106 generally determines the width of the slurry spread on the first conveying surface 220, so it is generally wider, such as 40cm-60cm. Therefore, when the upper edge of the slurry plate 106 is unrestrained, abnormal vibration will occur in its contact with the slurry roller 104. This vibration will cause the slurry on the slurry roller 104 to enter the slurry plate 106 in an unsatisfactory manner, resulting in inconsistent amounts of slurry entering the slurry plate 106. Therefore, as... Figure 11 As shown, the second mounting bracket 101 is equipped with an adjusting bracket 111, and the adjusting bracket 111 is equipped with an adjusting rod 112. The adjusting rod 112 is positioned higher than the upper edge of the sizing plate 106. The adjusting rod 112 is provided with multiple threaded holes 113 arranged linearly along the length of the sizing roller 104. The axial direction of the threaded holes 113 points towards the sizing roller 104. An adjusting stud 114 is provided in the threaded hole 113, and the end of the adjusting stud 114 abuts against the side of the sizing plate 106 away from the sizing roller 104. Here, the end of the adjusting stud 114 near the sizing plate 106 is preferably a pointed structure, and the pointed end abuts against the sizing plate 106. By abutting against the sizing plate 106 with the adjusting stud 114, significant abnormal vibration of the sizing plate 106 is prevented, which would cause the upper edge of the sizing plate 106 to deviate significantly from the sizing roller 104. It also serves to flatten and level the upper edge of the sizing plate 106.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figure 11As shown, an adjusting plate 115 is provided on the adjusting bracket 111. The adjusting plate 115 is located on both sides of the slurry plate 106 in the width direction. The adjusting plate 115 is located on the side of the slurry roller 104 near the steaming box 210. The adjusting plate 115 is provided with an elongated hole 116. The elongated hole 116 extends in the direction of the elongated direction near the steaming box 210. A first screw 117 is provided at one end of the elongated hole 116 near the direction of the slurry roller 104, passing through the elongated hole 116 to fix the adjusting plate 115 on the adjusting bracket 111. A second screw 118 extending outward is provided on both sides of the slurry plate 106. The second screw 118 passes through the elongated hole 116. At least one nut 119 is provided on each side of the second screw 118 in the direction of the adjusting plate 115. The adjusting plate 115 is clamped by the two nuts 119 to support the slurry plate 106 through the adjusting plate 115. The advantage lies in the fact that the second screw 118 can be slidably adjusted in the elongated hole 116, while the adjusting plate 115 can also be oscillated around the first screw 117. This allows for convenient adjustment of the tilt angle of the sizing plate 106, as well as the distance between the lower edge of the sizing plate 106 and the first conveying surface 220. This facilitates both installation and subsequent adjustments.

[0066] In the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 13 and 15 As shown, the cutting mechanism 303 includes a cutting blade 306 that is movable up and down and is disposed above the second conveying surface 302. The length direction of the cutting blade 306 is parallel to the width direction of the second conveying surface 302, and a first telescopic device 307 is provided to drive the cutting blade 306 to move up and down. Figure 13 and 16 As shown, the powder rolling mechanism 304 includes a first bracket 308 connected to the second conveyor belt device 301. A first mounting base 309 capable of sliding up and down is provided on the first bracket 308, and a second telescopic device 310 is provided on the first bracket 308 to drive the first mounting base 309 to slide up and down. A first mounting shaft 311 capable of rotation is provided on the first mounting base 309, and a sixth rotation drive device 312 is provided on the first mounting base 309 to control the rotation of the first mounting shaft 311. The first mounting shaft 311 is located above the second conveying surface 302, and the length direction of the first mounting shaft 311 extends along the width direction of the second conveying surface 302. A deflector plate 313 is provided on the first mounting shaft 311, and the length direction of the deflector plate 313 is parallel to the first mounting shaft 311. Figure 13 and 17As shown, the cutting mechanism 305 includes a second bracket 314 connected to the second conveyor belt device 301. A second mounting seat 315 that can slide up and down is provided on the second bracket 314, and an elastic device 316 is provided on the second bracket 314 to push the second mounting seat 315 so that the second mounting seat 315 has a tendency to slide towards the second conveying surface 302. A second mounting shaft 317 that can rotate is provided on the second mounting seat 315, and at least one cutting roller 318 is provided on the second mounting shaft 317.

[0067] Based on this, in step five, the first telescopic device 307 drives the cutting blade 306 to move downward to cut the rice noodle roll into segments arranged along the length of the second conveying surface 302. To facilitate the operation of the subsequent rice noodle roll rolling mechanism 304, the cutting blade 306 can pause briefly on the second conveying surface 302 after moving downward, so that there is a gap between the rice noodle roll segments. Then the cutting blade 306 moves upward to allow the rice noodle roll segments to pass through. It is worth noting that because the rice noodle roll is soft and the cutting blade 306 also needs to be in direct contact with the second conveying surface 302, the lower edge of the cutting blade 306 has a certain bluntness and does not need to be sharp.

[0068] When the rice noodle roll sheet approaches the rice noodle rolling mechanism 304, the first mounting shaft 311 is rotated by the sixth rotation drive device 312, and the first mounting base 309 is driven to slide up and down by the second telescopic device 310. This allows the lower edge of the turntable 313 to contact the second conveying surface 302 as it rotates with the first mounting shaft 311. The movement of the second conveying surface 302 continuously conveys the rice noodle roll sheet towards the turntable 313. The lower edge of the turntable 313 continuously contacts the rice noodle roll sheet and flips and turns it in the opposite direction to the movement of the second conveying surface 302, thus rolling the rice noodle roll sheet into a rice noodle strip. The effect of rolling the rice noodle strip is as follows: Figure 19 As shown.

[0069] As the elastic device 316 pushes, the lower side of the rim of the cutting roller 318 contacts the second conveying surface 302 and rotates as the second conveying surface 302 moves. Then, as the rice noodle strips moving along the second conveying surface 302 pass through the cutting mechanism 305, the cutting roller 318 crushes the rice noodle strips to cut them into rice noodle products along the length of the rice noodle strips.

[0070] In some embodiments, the cutting rhythm (of rice noodle roll skin segments) of the cutting mechanism 303 can be controlled by coordinating the moving speed of the second conveying surface 302 with the downward movement rhythm of the cutting blade 306. For example... Figure 13As shown, a detection switch 319 (such as a photoelectric sensor) is provided between the cutting mechanism 303 and the rice noodle rolling mechanism 304 to detect whether rice noodle roll segments enter the rice noodle rolling mechanism 304 from the cutting mechanism 303. This is used to assist in controlling the up-and-down movement rhythm of the first mounting shaft 311 and to determine the start time and end time of rolling in conjunction with the moving speed of the second conveying surface 302.

[0071] like Figure 21 As shown, two detection switches 319 can be provided and supported by a switch bracket set in the second conveyor belt device 301. The two detection switches 319 are located between the cutting mechanism 303 and the rice noodle roll mechanism 304, and between the cutting mechanism 303 and the filling spreading mechanism 321, respectively. The detection switch 319 (optional industrial camera) between the cutting mechanism 303 and the filling spreading mechanism 321 is used to detect whether the filling (meat filling) is in place (whether it is spread on the rice noodle roll skin). The detection switch 319 between the cutting mechanism 303 and the rice noodle roll mechanism 304 is used to detect the position of the rice noodle roll skin segment and estimate the time when the rice noodle roll skin segment enters the rice noodle roll mechanism 304.

[0072] In some embodiments, the side of the paddle 313 that is close to the second conveying surface 302 has a certain degree of flexibility. A plastic or nylon sheet with a certain degree of elasticity can be selected. Of course, a food-grade silicone sheet with a certain degree of elasticity is preferred as the material for the side of the paddle 313 that is close to the second conveying surface 302. This ensures that when the first mounting shaft 311 moves downwards, the final distance between the first mounting shaft 311 and the second conveying surface 302 is slightly smaller than the width of the paddle 313 (the width of the paddle 313 is perpendicular to the width of the second conveying surface 302). This increases the contact time and relative movement distance (the distance the paddle 313 moves while scooping the rice noodle sheet on the second conveying surface 302) of the lower edge of the paddle 313, ensuring better scooping of the rice noodle sheet and throwing it in the opposite direction to the movement of the second conveying surface 302. This cycle is repeated to achieve the curling of the rice noodle sheet, with the effect as follows: Figure 19 As shown.

[0073] It is worth noting that, in the above scheme, firstly, multiple baffles 313 can be provided on the first mounting shaft 311, and the baffles 313 are evenly distributed around the first mounting shaft 311. Secondly, multiple cutting rollers 318 can be provided on the second mounting shaft 317, and the number and spacing of the cutting rollers 318 can be adjusted and controlled according to the length requirements for cutting the rice noodle rolls.

[0074] In some implementations, such as Figure 13 and 14As shown, to meet the needs of adding fillings to rice noodle rolls during production and to satisfy the requirements for flavor configuration and control, the rice noodle roll machine also includes a filling spreading mechanism 321, which is located at the front end of the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt device 301 and on the side of the cutting mechanism 303 away from the rice noodle rolling mechanism 304. The filling spreading mechanism 321 includes a filling machine 322 and a filling guide 323. The filling guide 323 is located above the second conveying surface 302, and the filling outlet of the filling guide 323 faces the cutting mechanism 303. The filling machine 322 (purchased equipment) is connected to the filling guide 323 through a conduit 320 so that the filling in the filling machine 322 can be conveyed to the filling guide 323 through the conduit 320 and then spread on the rice noodle roll skin after flowing out from the filling outlet.

[0075] Furthermore, such as Figure 14 As shown, a blade 324 that can move up and down is also provided at the filling outlet, which is attached to the end face of the filling outlet, and a third telescopic device 325 is provided to control the up and down movement of the blade 324. During the process of filling flowing out of the filling outlet, the blade 324 can continuously and rapidly move up and down to make the filling sprinkle and scatter on the rice noodle roll skin in small pieces, thereby avoiding the filling falling into the rice noodle roll skin in large pieces and continuous sheets, which would affect the quality of the rice noodle roll product.

[0076] In some implementations, such as Figure 21 As shown, the filling mechanism 321 has two filling machines 322, which are respectively set on both sides of the length direction of the second conveyor belt device 301. The guide tubes set on the filling machines 322 extend directly to the top of the second conveyor belt device 301, and then the filling guide trough 323 is directly supported by the guide tube 320. The guide tube 320 is also equipped with a blade bracket, and the blade 324 is directly set on the blade bracket. The third telescopic device 325 is also set on the blade bracket.

[0077] In the embodiments of this disclosure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 9As shown, the oiling mechanism 400 includes a second oil storage tank 402 disposed in the output direction. A first oiling roller 403 and a second oiling roller 405, which are rotatable, are disposed above the second oil storage tank 402. The lower side of the first oiling roller 403 is submerged in the second oil storage tank 402. The position of the second oiling roller 405 is higher than that of the first oiling roller 403, and the roller surfaces of the first oiling roller 403 and the second oiling roller 405 are tangent. A third rotation drive device 404 is provided for transmission connection with the first oiling roller 403, and a fourth rotation drive device 406 is provided for transmission connection with the second oiling roller 405. The length direction of both the first oiling roller 403 and the second oiling roller 405 is parallel to the width direction of the first conveying surface 220. When the oiling mechanism 400 is specifically set up, it can be fixed on the second conveyor belt device 301 or the first mounting frame 201 by connecting bracket 401 (used to support the second oil storage tank 402, the first oiling roller 403, the second oiling roller 405, the third rotation drive device 404 and the fourth rotation drive device 406, etc.).

[0078] Based on this, the method of applying edible oil to the rice noodle roll skin by the oiling mechanism 400 in step four is as follows: edible oil is stored in the second oil storage tank 402, the first oiling roller 403 is rotated by the third rotation drive device 404, and the second oiling roller 405 is rotated by the fourth rotation drive device 406; during the process of the rice noodle roll skin passing through the oiling mechanism 400, one side of the rice noodle roll skin (the side facing the receiving conveyor belt 232 and the second conveying surface 302) is partially attached to the second oiling roller 405 so that the edible oil is applied to the surface of the rice noodle roll skin by the second oiling roller 405.

[0079] By cooperating with the first oiling roller 403 and the second oiling roller 405, the amount of oil can be well controlled by the rotation speed, so that only a thin layer of edible oil is applied to the rice noodle roll skin. This improves the taste and quality of the rice noodle roll skin, prevents the greasiness caused by excessive oiling, and prevents the rice noodle roll products from sticking together in large quantities during storage.

[0080] Among them, the first rotation drive device 223, the second rotation drive device 236, the third rotation drive device 404, the fourth rotation drive device 406, the fifth rotation drive device 105, and the sixth rotation drive device 312 are all preferably drive motors with adjustable speeds. The first telescopic device 307, the second telescopic device 310, and the third telescopic device 325 are electric telescopic rods or telescopic cylinders. The elastic device 316 is preferably a spring.

[0081] In summary, the rice noodle roll machine and production method described in this application, except for the preparation of the slurry and the packaging of the rice noodle roll products (which can also be integrated into subsequent automated processes), require no manual intervention throughout the entire process, achieving true automation. This liberates manpower, reduces the labor intensity of workers, and ensures controllable hygiene and quality. Furthermore, it enables continuous production with high efficiency, meeting the market's demand for bulk, centralized supply. Figure 20 As shown, the slurry tank 107 is positioned relatively high, while a slurry loading tank can be specially set up at a lower position. The slurry can be poured into the slurry loading tank, and then the slurry in the slurry loading tank can be transported to the slurry tank 107 by a conveying pump.

[0082] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
