Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of instant noodle production technology, and in particular to a non-fried instant noodle production conveyor line. Background Technology
[0002] Compared to instant noodles that are deep-fried and dehydrated, non-fried instant noodles are usually dehydrated and shaped using methods such as hot air drying, microwave drying, or vacuum freeze drying.
[0003] In the production and transportation of non-fried instant noodles, the continuously stacked noodles after processing are conveyed on a mesh conveyor belt to facilitate continuous drying during the conveying process. However, during the conveying process, the continuously stacked noodles and the mesh conveyor belt remain relatively stationary, making it difficult to effectively dry the continuously stacked noodles synchronously. This easily leads to the surface of the formed noodle cake hardening and crusting, preventing the internal moisture from being discharged. Furthermore, during the longitudinal and transverse cutting of the continuously stacked noodles into noodle cakes, debris is easily generated or some noodles may get stuck in the mesh conveyor belt, increasing the difficulty of cleaning the debris and residue remaining on the mesh conveyor belt and affecting the subsequent production of noodle cakes. Therefore, a non-fried instant noodle production conveyor line is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art by proposing a non-fried instant noodle production conveyor line.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A non-fried instant noodle production conveyor line includes a base and a suspension. A packaging conveyor belt is installed on the base, and a noodle-splitting conveyor belt is installed on the suspension. A drive motor is fixedly installed at the end of the suspension. The drive motor is connected to a brush roller and two redirecting rollers through a sprocket assembly. The suspension is connected to a frequency vibration assembly for cleaning instant noodle debris inside the noodle-splitting conveyor belt through a splash baffle. The base has two symmetrically arranged mounting brackets connected to its top via two supports. Multiple lifting guide rails are fixed to the inner wall of each mounting bracket. Each lifting guide rail is connected to a drying air pump via a guide slider. The drying air pump is connected to a drying tube via a spin assembly. Multiple ring-cutting blades for separating noodles are connected to the outer wall of the drying tube. An impact column is installed inside the lowest lifting guide rail. A deflection assembly is installed on one side of the impact column. The deflection assembly is connected to a compensating roller for tensioning and unfolding the separated noodles.
[0006] Preferably, the base is fixedly connected to the suspension via two triangular brackets, and the faceted conveyor belt and the packaging conveyor belt are driven by two servo motors respectively.
[0007] Preferably, the sprocket assembly includes a driven wheel fixed to the end of the brush roller and a drive wheel fixed to the end of the redirecting roller, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the drive wheel located at the bottom.
[0008] Preferably, the driven wheel is connected to the two drive wheels via a transmission chain, the brush roller is located on the outer side of the split conveyor belt, and the two redirecting rollers are located on the inner side of the split conveyor belt. The brush roller and the two redirecting rollers are arranged in a staggered triangular shape.
[0009] Preferably, the frequency vibration assembly includes multiple actuating blocks disposed above the splash baffle. The two sides of the splash baffle are rotatably connected to pins via two mounting plates. The pins are fixedly connected to the multiple actuating blocks, and torsion springs are sleeved on the outer walls at both ends of the pins.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the lifting guide rail is slidably connected to the guide slider, the guide slider is rotatably connected to the drying pipe through a drying air pump, and multiple drying holes are provided on the outer wall of the drying pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the spin assembly includes a spin gear fixed to the end of the drying tube, and the lifting guide rail is fixedly connected to an adjusting rack, wherein the spin gear meshes with the adjusting rack.
[0012] Preferably, a positioning seat is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting bracket, and the positioning seat is rotatably connected to the steering seat through a fixed shaft.
[0013] Preferably, the deflection assembly includes a lifting plate fixed to the bottom of the steering seat, the lifting plate being fixedly connected to the compensating roller, a redirecting pad being fixed to the top of the steering seat, the positioning seat being slidably connected to the impact column via a coaxial seat, the impact column and the redirecting pad being located on the same axis, and a return spring for resetting after impact being sleeved on the outer wall of the impact column.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. This solution, through the setting of brush rollers and frequency vibration components, can use brush rollers to make the end of the noodle-separating conveyor belt wavy, allowing the noodles to fall naturally and quickly under their own weight, avoiding blockage or tearing at the transfer point. The brush rollers continuously clean the surface of the conveyor belt, removing most of the noodle debris. The wavy bending of the noodle-separating conveyor belt unfolds it, and then the impact of the actuating blocks shakes off the debris trapped inside the mesh, achieving multi-layer and deep cleaning of the surface and inner side of the conveyor belt, reducing downtime for cleaning and ensuring food hygiene.
[0015] 2. This solution, through the setting of the spin assembly and the drying tube, allows the ring-cutting blade on the drying tube to divide the flat noodles into spaced groups when rotating, preparing for subsequent quantitative cutting and shaping. During the drying process, the tough noodles are stretched and shaken, increasing the contact area between the noodles and the hot air, achieving uniform and rapid drying, and greatly improving the drying effect and efficiency.
[0016] 3. This solution, through the setting of deflection components and compensating rollers, allows the lifting plate and compensating rollers to generate lifting action. By utilizing the frictional difference between the noodles and the compensating rollers and packaging conveyor belt, the stretched noodles are restored to their original state, avoiding uneven stacking of noodles on the packaging conveyor belt, ensuring the smooth progress of subsequent cutting and packaging processes, and the uniformity of the final product shape, thereby improving the yield rate.

[0022] Example, refer to Figures 1 to 9 A non-fried instant noodle production conveyor line includes a base 1 and a suspension 2. A packaging conveyor belt 4 is installed on the base 1, and a noodle-splitting conveyor belt 3 is installed on the suspension 2. A drive motor 5 is fixedly installed at the end of the suspension 2. The drive motor 5 is connected to a brush roller 10 and two redirecting rollers 9 through a sprocket assembly. The suspension 2 is connected to a frequency vibration assembly for cleaning instant noodle debris inside the noodle-splitting conveyor belt 3 through a splash baffle 11. Furthermore, the base 1 is fixedly connected to the suspension 2 via two triangular brackets. The faceting conveyor belt 3 and the packaging conveyor belt 4 are driven by two servo motors respectively. The sprocket assembly includes a driven wheel 8 fixed to the end of the brush roller 10 and a drive wheel 6 fixed to the end of the redirecting roller 9. The output end of the drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to the drive wheel 6 located at the bottom. The driven wheel 8 is connected to the two drive wheels 6 via a transmission chain 7. The brush roller 10 is located on the outside of the faceting conveyor belt 3, and the two redirecting rollers 9 are located on the inside of the faceting conveyor belt 3. The brush roller 10 and the two redirecting rollers 9 are arranged in a staggered triangular shape. The frequency vibration assembly includes multiple actuating blocks 12 set above the splash baffle 11. The two sides of the splash baffle 11 are rotatably connected to pins via two mounting plates. The pins are fixedly connected to the multiple actuating blocks 12. Torsion springs 13 are sleeved on the outer walls of both ends of the pins. It should be noted that: the pre-processed noodles are laid flat on the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 on the suspension 2 for conveying. At this time, the noodles have a high water content and a certain degree of toughness. Then, when the noodles are conveyed to the end of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3, due to the inward pressure of the brush roller 10, the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 becomes wavy at its end without obvious protrusion. After passing the end of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3, the noodles will quickly fall down onto the packaging conveyor belt 4. During this process, the drive motor 5 will drive the bottom drive wheel 6 to rotate, and through the transmission chain 7, it will drive another drive wheel 6 and the driven wheel 8 to rotate, ensuring the stable transmission of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3. The rotation of the driven wheel 8 drives the brush roller 10. The continuous rotation of the conveyor belt 3 will clean the surface of the noodle separating conveyor belt 3 after it is separated from the noodles. The noodle debris brushed off will splash onto the surface of the splash baffle 11. At the same time, the wavy bend at the end of the noodle separating conveyor belt 3 will cause the debris that is deeply embedded in the mesh noodle separating conveyor belt 3 to unfold in the bend. The actuating block 12 will be stuck on the inner side of the noodle separating conveyor belt 3. As the noodle separating conveyor belt 3 bends and moves, the actuating block 12 will disengage from the noodle separating conveyor belt 3 and then quickly reset under the action of the torsion spring 13. The bending area of the noodle separating conveyor belt 3 will be impacted. Under the continuous scraping impact, the debris in the bending and unfolding area of the noodle separating conveyor belt 3 will fall off more easily. The benefits mentioned above are: to clean the thin debris on the surface and inner side of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3, to clean the multi-layer debris of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3, and to facilitate the continuous processing of instant noodles in the future. The top of the base 1 is connected to two symmetrically arranged mounting brackets 15 via two supports 14. Multiple lifting guide rails 16 are fixed on the inner side wall of the mounting brackets 15. The lifting guide rails 16 are connected to a drying air pump 18 via a guide slider 17. The drying air pump 18 is connected to a drying tube 19 via a spin assembly. Multiple ring-cutting blades 22 for separating noodles are connected to the outer side wall of the drying tube 19. Furthermore, the inner wall of the lifting guide rail 16 is slidably connected to the guide slider 17, the guide slider 17 is rotatably connected to the drying tube 19 through the drying air pump 18, and multiple drying holes are opened on the outer wall of the drying tube 19. The spin assembly includes a spin gear 20 fixed on the end of the drying tube 19, and an adjusting rack 21 is fixedly connected to the lifting guide rail 16. The spin gear 20 meshes with the adjusting rack 21. It should be noted that during the process of the noodles falling from the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 to the packaging conveyor belt 4, the noodles will be tilted and hang on multiple drying tubes 19. Then, the multiple noodle-lifting guide rails 16 in the mounting frame 15 are activated one by one from top to bottom, so that the guide slider 17 slides in the noodle-lifting guide rail 16, thereby allowing the spin gear 20 to move on the meshing adjusting rack 21, so that the spin gear 20 rotates, thereby driving the rotation of the drying tubes 19. The rotation of the drying tubes 19 will synchronously drive the multiple ring-cutting blades 22 on them to rotate, so that the flat noodles are divided into multiple groups of spaced noodles, which is convenient for subsequent cutting and shaping of multiple groups of spaced noodles. During this process, the drying air pump 18 will continuously pump hot air into the drying tubes 19 to dry the noodles. The multiple drying tubes 19 move outward from top to bottom, which will pull and shake the tough noodles. The advantages mentioned above are that the noodles can be unfolded to a certain extent, which facilitates the drying of the noodles by hot airflow while they are in motion, thus greatly improving the drying effect and efficiency of the noodles. An impact column 28 is installed inside the bottommost noodle lifting guide rail 16. A deflection component is installed on one side of the impact column 28. The deflection component is connected to a compensation roller 26 for tensioning and unfolding the separated noodles.
[0023] Furthermore, a positioning seat 23 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the mounting bracket 15. The positioning seat 23 is rotatably connected to the steering seat 24 through a fixed shaft. The deflection assembly includes a lifting plate 25 fixed to the bottom of the steering seat 24. The lifting plate 25 is fixedly connected to the compensating roller 26. A redirecting pad 27 is fixed to the top of the steering seat 24. The positioning seat 23 is slidably connected to the impact column 28 through a coaxial seat. The impact column 28 and the redirecting pad 27 are located on the same axis. A return spring 29 for reset after impact is sleeved on the outer side wall of the impact column 28. It should be noted that after the noodles are dried by multiple drying tubes 19, they fall onto the packaging conveyor belt 4 for continuous conveying. After the bottom guide slider 17 slides, it will impact the impact column 28, which will then squeeze the return spring 29, causing the end of the impact column 28 to impact the redirecting pad 27. The redirecting pad 27 will then drive the steering seat 24 to deflect on the fixed shaft. The deflection of the steering seat 24 will drive the bottom lifting plate 25 to deflect, which will then drive the compensating roller 26 to deflect upward and slowly fall back to reset, thus lifting the noodles on the packaging conveyor belt 4. The friction between the noodles and the compensating roller 26 is much less than the friction between the noodles and the packaging conveyor belt 4. The advantages mentioned above are: it facilitates the restoration of the noodles to their pre-stretch state during the process, avoids the pulling and shaking of the noodles by multiple drying tubes 19, which would cause local stacking of the noodles on the packaging conveyor belt 4, and compensates for and adjusts the stretching and stacking states of the noodles during conveying. In use, the pre-processed noodles are laid flat on the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 on the suspension 2 for conveying. At this time, the noodles have a high water content and a certain degree of toughness. When the noodles reach the end of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3, the inward pressure of the brush roller 10 causes the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 to become wavy at its end without obvious protrusions. After passing the end of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3, the noodles will quickly fall down onto the packaging conveyor belt 4. During this process, the drive motor 5 drives the bottom drive wheel 6 to rotate, and through the transmission chain 7, it drives another drive wheel 6 and the driven wheel 8 to rotate, ensuring the stable transmission of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3. The rotation of the driven wheel 8 drives the brush roller 10 to rotate continuously, cleaning the surface of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 after the noodles have been separated. The roller brush brushes off noodle scraps, which then splash onto the surface of the splash guard 11. Simultaneously, the wavy bend at the end of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 causes the scraps trapped inside the mesh noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 to unfold in the bend. The actuating block 12 then engages with the inner side of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3. As the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 bends, the actuating block 12 disengages from the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 and then quickly resets under the action of the torsion spring 13, impacting the bent area of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3. Under continuous scraping and impact, the scraps in the bent and unfolded area of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 fall off more easily, thus cleaning the thin scraps on the surface and inner side of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3. This multi-layered scrap cleaning of the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 facilitates the continuous processing of instant noodles in the future. As the noodles fall from the noodle-separating conveyor belt 3 onto the packaging conveyor belt 4, the noodles are tilted and hang on multiple drying tubes 19. Then, multiple lifting guide rails 16 in the mounting frame 15 are activated one by one from top to bottom, causing the guide slider 17 to slide within the lifting guide rail 16. This allows the spin gear 20 to move on the meshing adjusting rack 21, causing the spin gear 20 to rotate. This rotation drives the rotation of the drying tubes 19, which in turn drives the multiple ring-cutting cutters 22 on them to rotate, separating the flat noodles into multiple groups with gaps. This facilitates the subsequent cutting and shaping of the multiple groups of noodles with gaps. During this process, the drying air pump 18 continuously pumps hot air into the drying tubes 19 to dry the noodles. The multiple drying tubes 19 move outward from top to bottom, which pulls and shakes the tough noodles, allowing them to unfold to a certain extent. This makes it easier for the hot air to dry the noodles in motion, thus greatly improving the drying effect and efficiency of the noodles. After the noodles are dried by multiple drying tubes 19, they fall onto the packaging conveyor belt 4 for continuous transport. When the guide slider 17 at the bottom slides, it impacts the impact column 28, which in turn squeezes the return spring 29, causing the end of the impact column 28 to impact the redirecting pad 27. The redirecting pad 27 then causes the steering seat 24 to deflect on the fixed shaft. The deflection of the steering seat 24 causes the bottom lifting plate 25 to deflect, which in turn causes the compensating roller 26 to deflect upward and slowly fall back to its original position, thus lifting the noodles on the packaging conveyor belt 4. The friction between the noodles and the compensating roller 26 is much less than the friction between the noodles and the packaging conveyor belt 4, making it easier for the noodles to return to their pre-stretch state during this process. This avoids the pulling and shaking of the noodles by multiple drying tubes 19, which could cause local stacking of the noodles on the packaging conveyor belt 4, and compensates for and adjusts the stretching and stacking state of the noodles during transport.
