Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of food processing equipment, and in particular relates to a ball-rolling machine. Background Technology

[0002] The Qingtuan (green glutinous rice dumpling) rounding machine is an automated device specifically designed for the production of traditional Qingtuan. Its core function is to replace the manual rounding process with mechanical bionics, achieving efficient shaping of the Qingtuan dough. Its working principle is based on the collaborative operation of two modules. A servo motor drives a rounding conveyor belt to rotate and extrude the Qingtuan, simulating the force of hand kneading. It is mainly used in central kitchens for Chinese pastries and frozen food processing plants, ensuring that the Qingtuan are perfectly round and have uniform density, making it particularly suitable for mass production during peak consumption periods such as the Qingming Festival.

[0003] In actual production, existing qingtuan rolling machines may experience irregular shapes, uneven surfaces, or localized cracking due to various factors such as moisture imbalance, excessive speed, insufficient pressure, and uneven feeding. This can affect the appearance and quality of the entire batch of food. Therefore, it is necessary to promptly detect and adjust any abnormalities in the qingtuan rolling machine.

[0004] In response to the aforementioned problem that abnormal equipment operation reduces the appearance and quality of food produced in the entire batch, this invention designs a rounding machine. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rounding machine that, through the function of a detection component and a rejection component designed in the rounding mechanism, detects and analyzes the shape data of materials after multiple rounding processes to determine whether the shape of the materials meets the product quality requirements, and rejects defective products with unqualified shapes, thereby ensuring the appearance and quality of each production batch in a timely manner; and solving the problems mentioned above.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention relates to a rounding machine, comprising an operating platform, a material conveyor belt, and a rounding mechanism. The operating platform includes a base and a frame. A material conveyor belt is mounted on the top surface of the base, and a frame is fixedly mounted on the material conveyor belt. The rounding mechanism includes a rounding conveyor belt, rounding plates, and a mounting base. Several sets of rounding conveyor belts and rounding plates are mounted between the inner top surface of the mounting base and the inner top surface of the frame. A drive motor is built into the mounting base and is connected to the rounding conveyor belt. A detection component and a rejection component for detecting material height data are mounted at the end of the material conveyor belt. The material conveyor belt transports the material to be rounded to the rounding mechanism and continuously transports the rounded material to the detection component, the rejection component, and a material holding tank. The rounding mechanism performs the rounding operation on the material. The detection component detects the shape data of the finally rounded material, compares and analyzes it to determine whether it is qualified, and then controls the rejection component to perform the corresponding rejection processing.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a support base is fixedly installed on the base, and a bracket is rotatably fitted on the support base. A control panel is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket. The support base and the bracket provide a certain degree of positional adjustment for the control panel, which facilitates the operation of the equipment and the viewing of its operating status and parameters by the staff.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the material conveyor belt is fixedly equipped with several sets of guide wheels behind the rounding mechanism; each set of guide wheels is located between two adjacent sets of rounding mechanisms; the guide wheels separate and guide the material after the rounding operation of the several sets of rounding mechanisms.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the top of the frame is provided with a plurality of sets of waist-shaped holes; the waist-shaped holes of the frame are fixedly installed with a rolling plate by bolts; the function of the waist-shaped holes is to facilitate the position adjustment of the rolling plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a detection mounting frame is fixedly installed at the end of the material conveyor belt. The detection component includes a laser rangefinder sensor, which is fixedly installed on the top surface inside the detection mounting frame. The laser rangefinder sensor is electrically connected to a control panel. The detection time interval of the laser rangefinder sensor is 5ms-100ms. During the entire process of the material passing under the laser rangefinder sensor at a certain speed, a set of height difference data of the material can be detected. This set of data is then compared and analyzed with normal data. If the data difference exceeds the set range, it is judged as unqualified; otherwise, it is qualified.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a material holding trough is fixedly installed at the end of the material conveyor belt; the material holding trough holds the rounded material.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the rejection assembly includes a rejection slide tube, a rotating shaft, and a steering cylinder; a support frame is fixed on the material holding trough, and a steering cylinder is fixedly installed on the support frame; the output shaft of the steering cylinder is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft; the rejection slide tube is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft, and the rejection slide tube has a rectangular tube structure; the steering cylinder controls whether the inlet of the rejection slide tube is located at the end of the material conveyor belt; if material rejection is required, the steering cylinder controls the inlet of the rejection slide tube to rotate to the end of the material conveyor belt, so that the material slides out through the rejection slide tube; if material rejection is not required, the steering cylinder controls the inlet of the rejection slide tube to move away from the end of the material conveyor belt, so that the material enters the material holding trough.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This invention utilizes a rounding mechanism, a detection component, and a rejection component to detect and analyze the shape data of materials after multiple rounding processes. This determines whether the material's shape meets product quality requirements and rejects defective products with substandard shapes. If substandard products are found, they are removed, thus ensuring the appearance and quality of each production batch. Simultaneously, when the control panel detects that the proportion of substandard materials exceeds a set limit, the control panel will also stop the equipment to allow for timely equipment adjustments.

[0016] Of course, any product implementing this invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description
