Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically to a mango-drying forming equipment and method for food processing. Background Technology

[0002] As a popular snack, the quality of mango shaping directly affects the product's appearance, taste, and market competitiveness. Traditional mango shaping processes involve slicing the mangoes manually or using a slicing machine, followed by natural sun-drying or simple drying. In addition, mango flesh can be mixed and then extruded to make mango dried fruit. Mango jerky is made by mixing and extruding mango flesh, which makes better use of the mango flesh and allows for more diverse shapes compared to slicing. However, during the mixing and extrusion process, the mango flesh is squeezed into mango puree from the equipment outlet. Conventional equipment usually has a fixed mold cavity with a relatively simple size, which cannot be well adapted to the forming of mango jerky of different sizes and shapes. To address the aforementioned problems, the inventors have proposed a mango-drying forming device and method for food processing. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the issue of the limited variety of mold cavity sizes in existing mango-dried fruit forming molds, the present invention aims to provide a mango-dried fruit forming device and method for food processing.

[0008] Preferably, an electric push rod is provided on the bottom outer wall of the feeding pipe, and the output end of the electric push rod is connected to the bottom inner wall of the telescopic pipe head.

[0009] Preferably, the deformable mold cavity mechanism includes a flip support frame, a corner hinge plate, and an edge hinge plate. The flip support frame is rotatably connected between two load-bearing support frames. A base plate is fixedly connected to the top of the flip support frame. Four corner hinge plates and four edge hinge plates are provided respectively. Each corner hinge plate is slidably connected to two edge hinge plates at both ends. The four corner hinge plates and the four edge hinge plates form a rectangular structure, which cooperates with the base plate to form a mold cavity.

[0010] Preferably, the bottom of the base plate has eight sliding grooves, and a U-shaped sliding frame is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A spring for resetting the U-shaped sliding frame is provided on the inner wall of the sliding groove. One end of the U-shaped sliding frame is connected to the outer wall of the rectangular structure and pushes and adjusts the rectangular structure. A protrusion is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the U-shaped sliding frame, and a turntable is rotatably connected to the bottom outer wall of the base plate.

[0011] Preferably, the sealing mechanism includes a connecting frame and a sealing plate. The connecting frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing, and a telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting frame. One end of the sealing plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the telescopic rod. The sealing plate is provided with guide rails on both sides, and a connecting rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the flip support frame, and several recessed grooves are provided on the inner wall of the guide rail.

[0012] Preferably, the inner walls of the sealing plate and the bottom plate are respectively provided with a plurality of heating tubes, and the outer walls of the bottom plate, the corner hinge plate, the edge hinge plate and the sealing plate are coated with a Teflon non-stick coating. The bottom of the support frame is provided with a receiving box, and a soft filter screen is connected to the bottom of the receiving box.

[0013] A method for using a mango drying forming equipment for food processing includes the following steps: Step 1: The pitted mango flesh is fed into the crushing mechanism, where it is pulverized. Then, it is fed into the feeding mechanism. Step 2: The mango pulp is fed into the cavity of the deformable mold cavity mechanism through the feeding mechanism. The cavity is adjusted by the deformable mold cavity mechanism, and the drive motor drives the deformable mold cavity mechanism to rotate. Step 3: During the rotation of the deformable mold cavity mechanism, the sealing mechanism slides along the top mold cavity of the deformable mold cavity mechanism to gradually close the mold cavity.

The sealing mechanism opens the top port of the mold cavity of the deformable mold cavity mechanism, and the formed dried mango falls onto the soft filter screen on the receiving box.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The deformable mold cavity mechanism of the present invention adopts a combination structure of corner hinge plate, edge hinge plate and U-shaped sliding frame. The turntable is driven to rotate by servo motor. With the guidance of irregular groove and arc groove, the size and shape of the mold cavity can be flexibly adjusted. Mangoes of different shapes and sizes can be produced without changing the mold, thus improving the versatility of the equipment.

[0015] 2. The sealing mechanism and the deformable mold cavity mechanism of the present invention are linked in their flipping action. During the mold cavity flipping process, the sealing plate can automatically slide to close the mold cavity. In conjunction with the heating tube, it can achieve closed heating and drying, accelerate the evaporation of moisture from the mango puree, and avoid color changes caused by exposed drying. The outer wall of the rectangular structure of the mold cavity and the outer wall of the sealing plate are coated with Teflon non-stick coating to reduce material adhesion. During demolding, the recessed groove on the inner wall of the guide rail cooperates with the connecting rod to make the mold cavity vibrate slightly, which helps the dried mango after molding to fall off smoothly, thus facilitating demolding.

[0016] 3. The bottom of the feeding shell of the present invention has a liquid discharge hole. During the process of pushing the mango puree by the bidirectional spiral rod, some excess water can be discharged in advance and collected and reused by the arc-shaped liquid collection plate, which reduces the stickiness of the mango puree and further improves the shaping stability of the dried mango blank.

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 - Figure 10 As shown, the present invention provides a mango drying forming equipment and method for food processing, including a crushing mechanism 1 for crushing mangoes and a feeding mechanism 2 for extruding mango material. The feeding mechanism 2 is located at the bottom of the crushing mechanism 1 and communicates with the bottom port of the crushing mechanism 1. The crushing mechanism 1 and the feeding mechanism 2 are drivenly connected. The two outer walls of the crushing mechanism 1 are respectively fixedly connected to the bearing support frame 7. The two bearing support frames 7 are rotatably connected to the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3. The top port of the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3 faces the bottom of the feeding mechanism 2. The outer wall of the bearing support frame 7 is equipped with a drive motor 4. The output shaft of the drive motor 4 is connected to the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3 and drives it. The deformable mold cavity mechanism 3 is used to adjust the size and shape of the mold cavity for mango puree molding; A sealing mechanism 5 is provided between the crushing mechanism 1 and the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3. During the flipping process of the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3, the sealing mechanism 5 first slides along the mold cavity port of the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3 to close it. After the dried mango is formed, the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3 continues to flip, and the sealing mechanism 5 opens the top port of the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3.

[0031] The crushing mechanism 1 includes a housing 11 and a spiral crushing wheel 12. The housing 11 is fixedly connected to the top of two supporting frames 7. The two spiral crushing wheels 12 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the housing 11. The top and bottom outer walls of the housing 11 are respectively provided with ports. The outer walls of the two spiral crushing wheels 12 are in contact with each other, and the outer walls of the spiral crushing wheels 12 are in contact with the inner wall of the housing 11. A driven gear 13 is connected to the axle of the spiral crushing wheel 12. An L-shaped frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 11. A synchronous motor 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped frame. A drive gear 14 is connected to the output shaft of the synchronous motor 15. The drive gear 14 meshes with two driven gears 13. The purpose of this setup is to combine Figure 2 As shown, the output shaft of the synchronous motor 15 drives the drive gear 14, which in turn drives two driven gears 13 to rotate. The two spiral crushing wheels 12 rotate inside the housing 11 to crush the mango flesh.

[0032] Combination Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding shell 21, which is connected to the outer wall of the bottom port of the housing 11. A bidirectional spiral rod 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the feeding shell 21. The rotating shaft of the bidirectional spiral rod 22 and the output shaft of the synchronous motor 15 are respectively connected to synchronous pulleys on the outer wall. A synchronous belt 25 is connected between the two synchronous pulleys. Feeding pipes 23 are connected to both ends of the feeding shell 21. The bottom ends of the two feeding pipes 23 are connected. A telescopic tube head 24 is connected to the bottom end of the feeding pipe 23. The purpose of this setup is that when the output shaft of the synchronous motor 15 rotates, the bidirectional spiral rod 22 rotates through the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt 25. The bidirectional spiral rod 22 pushes the mango puree to both ends of the lower material shell 21, and then discharges it through the discharge pipe 23 and telescopic head 24.

[0033] The bottom of the discharge shell 21 is provided with several liquid discharge holes 210, and the outer wall of the discharge pipe 23 is connected to an arc-shaped liquid collection plate 9, and the bottom of the arc-shaped liquid collection plate 9 is connected to a drain pipe. The purpose of this design is that, during the process of the bidirectional spiral rod 22 pushing the mango puree, the water in the mango puree is discharged through the liquid outlet 210, falls to the arc-shaped liquid collection plate 9 for collection, and is discharged through the drain pipe of the arc-shaped liquid collection plate 9 for centralized collection and reuse.

[0034] An electric push rod 8 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the feeding pipe 23, and the output end of the electric push rod 8 is connected to the bottom inner wall of the telescopic pipe head 24. The purpose of this configuration is to drive the bottom of the telescopic tube head 24 to move vertically up and down through the output end of the electric push rod 8, so that the bottom port of the telescopic tube head 24 is close to the mold cavity of the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3, while avoiding interference caused by the rotation of the telescopic tube head 24 and the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3.

[0035] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3 includes a flip support frame 31, a corner hinge plate 37 and an edge hinge plate 38. The flip support frame 31 is rotatably connected between two load-bearing support frames 7. A base plate 34 is fixedly connected to the top of the flip support frame 31. Four corner hinge plates 37 and four edge hinge plates 38 are respectively provided. Each corner hinge plate 37 is slidably connected to two edge hinge plates 38 at both ends. The four corner hinge plates 37 and the four edge hinge plates 38 form a rectangular structure. The rectangular structure and the base plate 34 cooperate to form a mold cavity. The purpose of this arrangement is that the four corner hinge plates 37 are located at the four corners of the rectangular structure. The two ends of each corner hinge plate 37 are slidably connected to the two edge hinge plates 38. When it is necessary to change the rectangular structure, the corner hinge plate 37 is pushed first. The corner hinge plate 37 is formed by hinges of two plates. The middle of the corner hinge plate 37 rotates. The edge hinge plate 38 is formed by hinges of three plates. Two plates are rotatably connected to the two ends of the other plate. One end of the corner hinge plate 37 slides along the inside of one end of the edge hinge plate 38 to retract. The corner hinge plate 37 opens at a large angle and rotates along the two end plates of the hinge plate 38 towards the inside of the mold cavity, thereby changing the mold cavity.

[0036] The bottom of the base plate 34 has eight sliding grooves. A U-shaped sliding frame 35 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A spring 36 is provided on the inner wall of the sliding groove for the U-shaped sliding frame 35 to reset. One end of the U-shaped sliding frame 35 is connected to the outer wall of the rectangular structure and pushes and adjusts the rectangular structure. A protrusion 350 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the U-shaped sliding frame 35. A turntable 32 is rotatably connected to the bottom outer wall of the base plate 34. Four irregular grooves 321 and four arc grooves 320 are provided on the outer wall of the turntable 32. The four irregular grooves 321 and four arc grooves 320 guide and push the U-shaped sliding frame 35. A servo motor 33 is installed on the bottom outer wall of the flip support frame 31. The output shaft of the servo motor 33 is connected to the turntable 32. The purpose of this setup is to combine Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the U-shaped sliding frame 35 at the corner of the base plate 34 has a long stroke. The U-shaped sliding frame 35 is used to push the rectangular structure. The spring 36 is used to tension and reset the U-shaped sliding frame 35. The output shaft of the servo motor 33 drives the turntable 32 to rotate. The arc groove 320 guides and drives the U-shaped sliding frame 35 and the protrusion 350 at the corner. At this time, the inner edge of the front end of the irregular groove 321 does not push the protrusion 350 and the U-shaped sliding frame 35. It is used to push the corner hinge plate 37 at the corner first and then push the edge hinge plate 38. It is used to first shrink the corner of the rectangular structure, so as to facilitate the inward adjustment of the mold cavity.

[0037] The sealing mechanism 5 includes a connecting frame 51 and a sealing plate 54. The connecting frame 51 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the housing 11. A telescopic rod 53 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting frame 51, and one end of the sealing plate 54 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the telescopic rod 53. The sealing plate 54 is provided with guide rails 52 on both sides, and a connecting rod 55 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guide rail 52. One end of the connecting rod 55 is connected to the flip support frame 31, and a number of recessed grooves 520 are provided on the inner wall of the guide rail 52. The purpose of this setup is to combine Figure 4 - Figure 6 As shown, in the initial state, the sealing plate 54 is located at the edge of the mold cavity. When the mold cavity is filled with 70%-80% mango puree, the feeding stops, and the turntable 32 is rotated by the servo motor 33. Then, the corner hinge plate 37 and the edge hinge plate 38 are driven to retract inward, gradually approaching the mango puree in the middle of the mold cavity until the mango puree in the middle is slightly raised. Then, the flipping support frame 31 is rotated by the drive motor 4. The flip support frame 31 drives the connecting rod 55 to slide on the guide rail 52. At the same time, the top port of the mold cavity slides parallel to the sealing plate 54. During the process, the sealing plate 54, the telescopic rod 53, and the connecting frame 51 rotate in coordination. After the mold cavity and the sealing plate 54 gradually rotate 90 degrees, the telescopic rod 53 adaptively retracts. Meanwhile, the flip support frame 31 guides the guide rail 52 to slide through the connecting rod 55, so that the sealing plate 54 and the flip support frame 31 rotate synchronously. In this way, the sealing plate 54 can keep in contact with the top port of the mold cavity and move. When the sealing plate 54 and the mold cavity port coincide, it is used to shape the mango puree. After shaping, the flip support frame 31 continues to rotate, and the sealing plate 54 rotates around the bottom end of the telescopic rod 53. The mold cavity port gradually moves away from the sealing plate 54, thereby opening the mold cavity port. At this time, the mold cavity port gradually faces the receiving box 6, which facilitates material unloading. At the same time, the recessed groove 520 of the guide rail 52, combined with... Figure 6As shown, during the latter half of the material feeding process, one end of the connecting rod 55 moves slowly along the recessed groove 520, which causes slight vibration to the mold cavity, facilitating the demolding of the dried mangoes.

[0038] The inner walls of the sealing plate 54 and the bottom plate 34 are respectively provided with a number of heating tubes 10, and the outer walls of the bottom plate 34, the corner hinge plate 37, the edge hinge plate 38 and the sealing plate 54 are coated with Teflon non-stick coating. A receiving box 6 is provided at the bottom of the support frame 7, and a soft filter screen is connected to the bottom of the receiving box 6; The purpose of this design is to prevent sticking to the mold cavity and the contact surface with the dried mango during the demolding process, thanks to the Teflon non-stick coating. A flexible filter collects the dried mango, and its soft material prevents it from falling and breaking. Any debris is filtered through the flexible filter. Figure 1 As shown, a port is provided on one side of the receiving box 6 for processing scrap materials.

[0039] A method for using a mango drying forming equipment for food processing includes the following steps: Step 1: The pitted mango flesh is fed into the crushing mechanism 1, where it is crushed and then fed into the feeding mechanism 2. Step 2: The mango pulp is fed into the cavity of the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3 through the feeding mechanism 2. The mold cavity is adjusted by the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3, and the drive motor 4 drives the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3 to rotate. Step 3: During the rotation of the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3, the sealing mechanism 5 slides along the top mold cavity of the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3 to gradually close the mold cavity. The mango puree inside the mold cavity is heated by the heating tube 10 to evaporate the moisture and form dried mango. Step four: Continue to rotate the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3. The sealing mechanism 5 opens the top port of the mold cavity of the deformable mold cavity mechanism 3, and the formed dried mango falls onto the soft filter screen on the receiving box 6.

[0040] Working principle: The pitted mango flesh is introduced into the shell 11. The output shaft of the synchronous motor 15 drives the drive gear 14, which in turn drives two driven gears 13 to rotate. The two spiral crushing wheels 12 rotate inside the shell 11 to crush the mango flesh. The output shaft of the synchronous motor 15 rotates, which in turn drives the synchronous wheel and synchronous belt 25 to rotate the bidirectional spiral rod 22. The bidirectional spiral rod 22 pushes the mango puree to both ends of the lower material shell 21, and then discharges it through the discharge pipe 23 and the telescopic head 24. During the process of the bidirectional spiral rod 22 pushing the mango puree, the water in the mango puree is discharged through the liquid outlet 210 and falls into the arc-shaped liquid collection plate 9 for collection. The water is then discharged through the drain pipe of the arc-shaped liquid collection plate 9 for centralized collection and reuse. The U-shaped sliding frame 35 at the corner of the base plate 34 has a relatively long stroke. The U-shaped sliding frame 35 is used to push the rectangular structure. The spring 36 is used to tension and reset the U-shaped sliding frame 35. The output shaft of the servo motor 33 drives the turntable 32 to rotate. The arc groove 320 guides and drives the U-shaped sliding frame 35 and the protrusion 350 at the corner. At this time, the inner edge of the front end of the irregular groove 321 does not push the protrusion 350 and the U-shaped sliding frame 35. It is used to push the corner hinge plate 37 at the corner first and then push the edge hinge plate 38. It is used to first shrink the corner of the rectangular structure, so as to facilitate the inward adjustment of the mold cavity. The four corner hinge plates 37 are divided into Located at the four corners of the rectangular structure, each corner hinge plate 37 has its two ends slidably connected to two edge hinge plates 38. When the rectangular structure needs to be changed, the corner hinge plate 37 is pushed first. The corner hinge plate 37 is formed by hinges of two plates. The middle of the corner hinge plate 37 rotates. The edge hinge plate 38 is formed by hinges of three plates, with two plates rotatably connected to the two ends of the other plate. One end of the corner hinge plate 37 slides along the inside of one end of the edge hinge plate 38 to retract. The corner hinge plate 37 opens at a large angle and rotates along the two end plates of the hinge plate 38 towards the inside of the mold cavity, thereby changing the mold cavity. In the initial state, the sealing plate 54 is located at the edge of the mold cavity. When the mold cavity is filled with 70%-80% mango puree, the feeding stops. The turntable 32 is rotated by the servo motor 33, and then the corner hinge plate 37 and the edge hinge plate 38 are driven to retract inward, gradually approaching the mango puree in the middle of the mold cavity until the mango puree in the middle is slightly raised. Then the flipping support frame 31 is rotated by the drive motor 4. The flip support frame 31 drives the connecting rod 55 to slide on the guide rail 52. At the same time, the top port of the mold cavity slides parallel to the sealing plate 54. During the process, the sealing plate 54, the telescopic rod 53, and the connecting frame 51 rotate in coordination. After the mold cavity and the sealing plate 54 gradually rotate 90 degrees, the telescopic rod 53 adaptively retracts. Meanwhile, the flip support frame 31 guides the guide rail 52 to slide through the connecting rod 55, so that the sealing plate 54 and the flip support frame 31 rotate synchronously. In this way, the sealing plate 54 can keep in contact with the top port of the mold cavity and move. When the sealing plate 54 and the mold cavity port coincide, it is used to shape the mango puree. After shaping, the flip support frame 31 continues to rotate, and the sealing plate 54 rotates around the bottom end of the telescopic rod 53. The mold cavity port gradually moves away from the sealing plate 54, thereby opening the mold cavity port. At this time, the mold cavity port gradually faces the receiving box 6, which facilitates material unloading. At the same time, the recessed groove 520 of the guide rail 52, combined with... Figure 6 As shown, during the latter half of the material feeding process, one end of the connecting rod 55 moves slowly along the recessed groove 520, which causes slight vibration to the mold cavity, which is beneficial for the demolding of the dried mango. During the demolding process of dried mangoes, a Teflon non-stick coating is applied to prevent sticking to the mold cavity and the contact surface with the dried mangoes. A soft filter screen is used to collect the dried mangoes.
