Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of powder forming technology, specifically a high-efficiency and energy-saving automatic powder forming device. Background Technology

[0002] Rice noodles, a traditional Chinese rice product (belonging to the category of rice noodles), are made from rice as the main raw material. They are produced through processes such as washing, soaking, grinding, cooking, shaping, and drying. They are characterized by their chewy texture, easy soaking, and resistance to cooking, and are widely used in catering, home cooking, and convenience food industries.

[0003] Currently, the mechanical forming process of rice noodles uses the pushing force and high temperature and pressure of a twin-screw extruder to extrude the rice paste blank through the micro-holes of the forming die head, simultaneously completing the curing and shaping. After extrusion, it is cooled and solidified to form round strips of rice noodles. However, the existing rice noodle forming equipment is not convenient for replacing forming dies with micro-holes of different diameters, nor is it convenient for cleaning the replaced forming dies. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-efficiency, energy-saving, automatic powder forming device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A high-efficiency and energy-saving automatic forming device for dry powder includes a shell, a feeding hopper installed on the top of the shell, and washing boxes installed on both sides of the ends of the shell. Limit grooves are formed near the two washing boxes, and a sliding groove is formed on the top of the washing boxes. A limiting plate is slidably connected to the sliding groove and fits against the inner wall of the limiting groove. Several mounting grooves are formed on the limiting plate, and a forming die head that fits against the discharge port is installed in the mounting groove. The forming die head has several micro-holes. The device also includes: A replacement component is provided, which is located on top of the two cleaning tanks and connected to the limiting plate. It is used to replace the forming die head with a micro-hole of different diameter and connected to the discharge port.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a spiral blade is rotatably arranged inside the outer shell, and a first motor is installed at the end of the outer shell away from the discharge port, and the output shaft of the first motor is connected to the spiral blade.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning tank is equipped with two sets of spray racks, each set of spray racks consists of two units, which are symmetrically arranged inside the cleaning tank. The outside of the cleaning tank is provided with a conveying pipe connected to the spray racks, and the conveying pipe is connected to a water pumping pipe.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the replacement component includes a fixed plate mounted on a cleaning tank, a screw rotatably disposed between the two fixed plates, a movable frame connected to a limiting plate threaded onto the screw, and a second motor connected to the screw mounted on the fixed plate.

[0009] The present invention has the following advantages: By adding rice paste blanks into the feeding hopper, the rice paste blanks can enter the outer shell. The rotating spiral blades extrude and convey the rice paste blanks, allowing them to enter the forming die head connected to it through the discharge port at the end of the outer shell. Through extrusion, the rice paste blanks pass through the micro-holes of the forming die head, simultaneously completing curing and shaping. After extrusion, they are cooled and solidified to form round strips of powder. When it is necessary to replace the forming die head with a different diameter micro-hole, the replacement component drives the limiting plate to slide, thereby directly connecting the different mounting slots with the discharge port. This allows the forming die head in the mounting slot to block the discharge port, thus achieving extrusion discharge. The replacement process is relatively convenient. Furthermore, the replaced forming die head is placed in a cleaning box and cleaned by a spray rack for subsequent use. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-4A high-efficiency and energy-saving automatic forming device for powder includes a shell 1, a feeding hopper 2 installed on the top of the shell 1, and cleaning boxes 6 installed on both sides of the ends of the shell 1. The bottom of the cleaning boxes 6 has a drain outlet. Limiting grooves 7 are formed near the two cleaning boxes 6, and a sliding groove 15 is formed on the top of the cleaning boxes 6. A limiting plate 8, which is slidably connected to the sliding groove 15 and fits against the inner wall of the limiting groove 7, is formed on the limiting plate 8. Several mounting grooves 9 are formed in the mounting grooves 9, and forming molds 10, which fit against the discharge port 5, are installed in the mounting grooves 9. Several micro-holes 11 are formed on the forming molds 10, and the diameter of the micro-holes 11 in different mounting grooves 9 is different. The device also includes: The replacement component is located on top of the two cleaning tanks 6 and connected to the limiting plate 8. It is used to replace the forming die head 10 with a different diameter micro-hole 11 and is connected to the discharge port 5.

[0017] In one embodiment, a spiral blade 3 is rotatably disposed inside the outer casing 1, and a first motor 4 is installed at the end of the outer casing 1 away from the discharge port 5, with the output shaft of the first motor 4 connected to the spiral blade 3.

[0018] By adding rice paste blanks into the feeding hopper 2, the rice paste blanks can enter the outer shell 1. The first motor 4 drives the spiral blades 3 to rotate. The rotating spiral blades 3 extrude and convey the rice paste blanks, so that the rice paste blanks can enter the forming die head 10 connected to it from the discharge port 5 at the end of the outer shell 1. Through extrusion, the rice paste blanks pass through the micro-holes 11 of the forming die head 10, and the curing and shaping are completed at the same time. After extrusion, they are cooled and solidified to form round strips of dry powder.

[0019] In one embodiment, two sets of spray racks 12 are installed inside the cleaning tank 6, with two spray racks 12 in each set, and they are symmetrically arranged inside the cleaning tank 6. A conveying pipe 13 connected to the spray rack 12 is provided on the outside of the cleaning tank 6, and the conveying pipe 13 is connected to a water pumping pipe 14.

[0020] Only one of the forming mold heads 10 in the mounting groove 9 of the limiting plate 8 is connected to the discharge port 5, while the rest of the forming mold heads 10 are located in the cleaning tank 6. This allows the replacement forming mold head 10 to enter the cleaning tank 6. At this time, the water pump connected to the water pumping pipe 14 can be started to deliver water to the conveying pipe 13 and then spray it out from the nozzle of the spray frame 12, thereby cleaning the forming mold heads 10 in the cleaning tank 6 and ensuring that the forming mold heads 10 are clean for the next use.

[0021] In one embodiment, the replacement assembly includes a fixed plate 16 mounted on the cleaning tank 6, a screw 17 rotatably disposed between the two fixed plates 16, a movable frame 18 threadedly connected to the screw 17 and connected to the limiting plate 8, and a second motor 19 connected to the screw 17 mounted on the fixed plate 16.

[0022] When it is necessary to replace the molding die head 10, start the second motor 19. The second motor 19 drives the screw 17 to rotate. The screw 17 drives the moving frame 18 to move, so that the limiting plate 8 slides along the slide groove 15, thereby connecting the other molding die head 10 with the discharge port 5, thereby replacing the molding die head 10 with a different diameter micro hole 11.

[0023] Furthermore, the edge of the forming die head 10 is equipped with a food-grade silicone sealing gasket. When the limiting plate 8 slides to the target position, the sealing gasket fits tightly with the end face of the discharge port 5, achieving a seal during the extrusion process and preventing rice paste leakage.

[0024] This invention involves adding rice paste blanks into the feeding hopper 2, allowing them to enter the outer shell 1. Rotating spiral blades 3 extrude and convey the rice paste blanks, enabling them to enter the forming die head 10 connected to the discharge port 5 at the end of the outer shell 1. Extrusion forces the rice paste blanks through the micro-holes 11 of the forming die head 10, simultaneously achieving curing and shaping. After extrusion, cooling and solidification form round strips of powder. When it is necessary to replace the forming die head 10 with a different diameter micro-hole 11, the replacement component drives the limiting plate 8 to slide, directly connecting different mounting slots 9 with the discharge port 5. This causes the forming die head 10 in the mounting slot 9 to block the discharge port 5, thus achieving extrusion discharge. The replacement process is convenient. Furthermore, the replaced forming die head 10 enters the cleaning tank 6 and is cleaned by the spray rack 12 for subsequent use.
