Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to a rice noodle roll machine. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, rice noodle roll machines typically consist of a frame, a conveyor belt, and a steam cover. Along the conveyor belt's path, the steam cover and frame enclose a steaming chamber located above the conveyor belt. A steam generator introduces steam into the steaming chamber, and the batter moves with the conveyor belt and is heated and cooked within the steaming chamber to form rice noodle rolls. This type of rice noodle roll machine relies solely on the steaming chamber located above the conveyor belt to heat the batter, resulting in poor heating and slow cooking. To ensure thorough steaming, the effective length of the steaming chamber and conveyor belt must be extended, leading to a larger overall machine size, greater space requirements, and poor equipment layout flexibility. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a rice noodle roll machine that can improve the heating effect on the slurry through the steaming chamber and steam chamber on the upper and lower sides of the carrying section of the conveyor belt, so as to improve the steaming and forming efficiency and thereby reduce the length of the rice noodle roll machine.

[0004] The rice noodle roll machine according to an embodiment of this application includes a frame, a conveying module, and a steam module.

[0005] frame; A conveying module includes a conveyor belt disposed on the frame along a first direction. The conveyor belt includes a carrying section, the upper side of which is used to convey materials and the formed materials. A steam module includes a steam hood, a steam generator, and a steam cover. The steam cover is disposed on the frame, and a steaming chamber is formed between the steam cover, the frame, and the upper side of the support section. Both ends of the steam cover in a first direction form overflow gaps with the support section, communicating with the outside. The steam hood is disposed on the lower side of the support section, and a steam chamber is formed between the inner side of the steam hood and the support section. An air inlet is provided in the middle of the steam hood, and a first return hole is formed at at least one end of the inner side of the steam hood in a first direction. A second return hole is formed in the middle of the outer side of the steam hood. The steam generator's supply end, the air inlet, the steam chamber, the first return hole, the second return hole, and the steaming chamber are sequentially connected.

[0006] The rice noodle roll machine according to the embodiments of this application has at least the following beneficial effects: the steam chamber and the steaming chamber can simultaneously heat the upper and lower sides of the batter, thereby enhancing the heating effect on the batter and improving the steaming and forming efficiency. This allows for a shorter length of the steaming chamber and conveyor belt, thus reducing the overall length of the rice noodle roll machine. Furthermore, steam can flow from the steam chamber to the steaming chamber, thereby improving the utilization rate of the steam's thermal energy. During the steam flow process, steam enters the steam chamber through the air inlet located in the middle of the steam hood. Since the first return hole is opened at both ends in the first direction inside the steam hood, the steam in the steam chamber needs to diffuse in the first direction before entering through the first return hole. This setting ensures the coverage of steam in the steam chamber, so that the slurry on the carrier belt is heated evenly. Then, the steam entering from the first return hole flows out through the second return hole. Since the second return hole is located in the middle of the outer side of the steam hood, the steam flows to the middle of the steaming chamber. The overflow gap connecting to the outside is formed between the two ends of the steam cover in the first direction and the carrier section. Therefore, the steam in the steam chamber can only overflow to the outside through the overflow gaps on both sides in the first direction. Thus, the steam in the steaming chamber needs to diffuse in the first direction before overflowing to the outside. This setting ensures the coverage of steam in the steaming chamber, so that the slurry on the carrier belt is heated evenly.

[0007] According to some embodiments of this application, a feeding module is also included, which is disposed above the conveyor belt and upstream of the steam module, forming a steam dissipation position between the feeding module and the steam module; a preheating chamber communicating with the steam chamber is disposed inside the steam hood, and the preheating chamber is located below the steam dissipation position.

[0008] According to some embodiments of this application, the steam module further includes a support member located in the steam chamber and disposed on the lower side of the bearing section to support the bearing section.

[0009] According to some embodiments of this application, the support member is provided with an air outlet and an air guide hole. The air outlet is located on the side facing the bearing section and communicates with the steam chamber through the air guide hole.

An oil drop outlet is provided below the oil tank along the width direction. The sponge is located below the oil drop outlet and is used to abut against the conveyor belt. The sponge is arranged along the width direction. The slurry feeding assembly is located downstream of the oiling assembly. The slurry feeding assembly includes a slurry feeding pipe. The slurry supply port of the slurry feeding pipe faces the conveyor belt and is used to output slurry to the conveyor belt.

[0014] According to some embodiments of this application, the slurry supply assembly includes a mounting frame and two shaping side plates. The mounting frame is fixedly installed, and the shaping side plates are connected to the mounting frame. The lower end of the shaping side plates abuts against the conveyor belt. The two shaping side plates are distributed along the width direction, and the slurry supply port of the slurry supply pipe is located between the two shaping side plates.

[0015] According to some embodiments of this application, the slurry supply assembly further includes a support plate, a first limiting plate, and a second limiting plate. The first limiting plate and the second limiting plate are connected to the mounting frame and are distributed along a first direction. The slurry supply port of the slurry supply pipe is located between the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate. The first limiting plate is located upstream of the second limiting plate and abuts against the upper side of the conveyor belt. The support plate is located below the first limiting plate and is used to support the lower side of the conveyor belt. A channel for slurry passage is formed between the second limiting plate and the conveyor belt.

[0024] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 9 This application describes a rice noodle roll machine according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0025] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 The rice noodle roll machine according to an embodiment of this application includes a frame 100, a conveying module 200, and a steam module 300.

[0026] 100 racks; The conveying module 200 includes a conveyor belt 210, which is disposed on the frame 100 along a first direction. The conveyor belt 210 includes a carrying section 211, the upper side of which is used to convey materials and the formed materials. The steam module 300 includes a steam hood 310, a steam generator 330, and a steam cover 320. The steam cover 320 is disposed on the frame 100, and a steam chamber 321 is formed between the steam cover 320, the frame 100, and the upper side of the support section 211. Both ends of the steam cover 320 in the first direction form overflow gaps 321a communicating with the outside between them and the support section 211. The steam hood 310 is disposed on the lower side of the support section 211, and the inner side of the steam hood 310 is connected to the support section 211. A steam chamber 311 is formed between the sections 211. An air inlet 311a is opened in the middle of the steam hood 310. A first return hole 311b is formed at at least one end of the inner side of the steam hood 310 in the first direction. A second return hole 311c is formed in the middle of the outer side of the steam hood 310. The steam supply end, air inlet 311a, steam chamber 311, first return hole 311b, second return hole 311c and steaming chamber 321 of the steam generator 330 are connected in sequence.

[0027] Understandably, the feeding module 400 outputs slurry to the carrying section 211 of the conveyor belt 210. As the conveyor belt 210 conveys the slurry, the carrying section 211 carries the slurry into the steaming chamber 321.

[0028] First, the steam generator 330 generates steam at a certain temperature. The steam passes through the air inlet 311a, steam chamber 311, first return hole 311b, second return hole 311c, and steaming chamber 321 sequentially from the steam generator 330's supply end. This fills both steam chamber 311 and steaming chamber 321 with steam. The steam in steaming chamber 321, located above the carrying section 211, can directly contact the slurry on the carrying section 211, directly heating it. The steam chamber 311, located below the carrying section 211, heats the carrying section 211, thus heating the slurry. This arrangement allows for simultaneous heating of both the upper and lower sides of the slurry, enhancing the heating effect and improving steaming efficiency. This allows for a shorter length of steaming chamber 321 and conveyor belt 210, reducing the overall length of the rice noodle roll machine. Furthermore, the steam can flow from steam chamber 311 to steaming chamber 321, thereby improving the utilization rate of steam's thermal energy.

[0029] Secondly, during the steam flow process, steam enters the steam chamber 311 through the air inlet 311a located in the middle of the steam hood 310. Since the first return hole 311b is opened at both ends in the first direction inside the steam hood 310, the steam in the steam chamber 311 needs to diffuse in the first direction before entering through the first return hole 311b. This arrangement ensures the coverage of the steam in the steam chamber 311, making the slurry on the carrier belt heated evenly. Then, the steam entering from the first return hole 311b flows out through the second return hole 311c. 1c is located in the middle of the outer side of the steam cover 310, so that the steam flows to the middle of the steaming chamber 321. The overflow gap 321a connecting to the outside is formed between the two ends of the steam cover 320 in the first direction and the bearing section 211. Therefore, the steam in the steam chamber 311 can only overflow to the outside through the overflow gaps 321a on both sides in the first direction. Thus, the steam in the steaming chamber 321 needs to diffuse in the first direction before overflowing from the steaming chamber 321 to the outside. This setting can ensure the coverage of the steam in the steaming chamber 321, so that the slurry on the bearing belt is heated evenly.

[0030] Specifically, the steam cover 320 is detachably connected to the frame 100 or rotatably connected to the frame 100 so as to open and close the steaming chamber 321.

[0031] Specifically, the steam cover 320 has flexible films at both ends in the first direction. The films can block part of the overflow gap 321a and reduce the speed of steam overflow.

[0032] Specifically, the air inlet 311a is located in the middle of the bottom side of the steam hood 310.

[0033] Specifically, the steam hood 310 has first return holes 311b at both ends in the first direction on its inner side, and also has first return holes 311b on both sides in the width direction. That is, the steam hood 310 has first return holes 311b at all four corners on its inner side.

[0034] Specifically, the conveyor belt 210 also includes a return section 212 connected to the carrying section 211. The carrying section 211 is the upper layer of the conveyor belt 210, and the return section 212 is the lower layer of the conveyor belt 210.

[0035] Specifically, the materials include slurry, and the formed materials include rice noodle rolls. In some embodiments, the materials may also include vegetables, meat, etc. Correspondingly, the formed materials may also include cooked vegetables, meat, etc.

[0036] Specifically, steam channels 311d are formed on both sides of the width direction of the steam hood 310, and the steam channels 311d connect the first return hole 311b and the second return hole 311c.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this application, it also includes a feeding module 400, which is disposed above the conveyor belt 210 and upstream of the steam module 300, forming a steam dissipation position 211a between the feeding module 400 and the steam module 300; a preheating chamber 312 communicating with the steam chamber 311 is disposed on the inner side of the steam hood 310, and the preheating chamber 312 is located below the steam dissipation position 211a.

[0038] Understandably, the feeding module 400 is used to output slurry to the carrying section 211 of the conveyor belt 210. A certain distance exists between the steam module 300 and the feeding module 400, forming a steam dissipation point 211a. As the conveyor belt 210 transports the slurry, it first passes through the steam dissipation point 211a before entering the steaming chamber 321. This arrangement prevents steam in the steaming chamber 321 from flowing into the feeding module 400, which could cause uneven slurry formation and affect the texture of the rice noodle roll. The steam hood 310, located below the steam dissipation point 211a, forms a preheating chamber 312 below the carrying section 211. Steam in the steam chamber 311 can flow to the preheating chamber 312, heating the corresponding location on the carrying section 211, thus pre-forming the slurry and preventing it from shrinking under surface tension, which would affect its formation.

[0039] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 9 According to some embodiments of this application, the steam module 300 further includes a support member 340, which is located inside the steam chamber 311 and disposed on the lower side of the bearing section 211 to support the bearing section 211.

[0040] It is understandable that the bearing section 211 has a certain length, and the bearing section 211 is supported by the support member 340 to prevent the bearing section 211 from collapsing and affecting the molding effect of the slurry.

[0041] Reference Figure 9 According to some embodiments of this application, the support member 340 is provided with an air outlet 341 and an air guide hole 342. The air outlet 341 is located on the side facing the bearing section 211 and is connected to the steam chamber 311 through the air guide hole 342.

[0042] It is understandable that the steam in the steam chamber 311 can enter through the air guide hole 342 and exit through the air outlet 341. By forming the air outlet 341 on the side of the support member 340 facing the bearing section 211, the air outlet 341 outputs steam to the position where the bearing section 211 and the support member 340 are in close contact, which can ensure that the position where the bearing section 211 and the support member 340 are in close contact also has steam heating, ensuring uniform heating of the slurry.

[0043] Reference Figure 9According to some embodiments of this application, the support 340 is located above the air inlet 311a.

[0044] It is understandable that by placing the support member 340 above the air inlet 311a, the steam output from the air inlet 311a can be prevented from being directly sprayed onto the bearing section 211, so as to avoid the temperature of the bearing section 211 relative to the air inlet 311a being too high. Thus, the support member 340 located between the air inlet 311a and the bearing section 211 can ensure that the bearing section 211 is heated evenly.

[0045] Specifically, the air guide hole 342 is opened on the end side in the first direction and / or the side in the width direction of the support member 340, so as to avoid the air guide hole 342 being opposite to the air inlet 311a, so that the steam output from the air inlet 311a passes through the air guide hole 342 and the direct injection bearing section 211.

[0046] Reference Figure 4 According to some embodiments of this application, the conveyor belt 210 is provided with a plurality of ventilation holes (not shown in the figure), which are arranged through the thickness direction of the conveyor belt 210.

[0047] Understandably, some of the steam inside the steam chamber 311 can pass through the vent holes, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the slurry and thus increasing the steaming and molding efficiency.

[0048] It should be noted that the pore size is small, and the slurry will not pass through the pores.

[0049] Reference Figure 7 According to some embodiments of this application, the steam module 300 also includes a steam pipe 350, which is located in the steaming chamber 321. The steam supply end of the steam generator 330 is also connected to the steam pipe 350, and the steam pipe 350 has a steam supply hole.

[0050] Understandably, the steam generated by the steam generator 330 can also be directly output to the steaming chamber 321 through the steam supply port of the steam pipe 350 to ensure the amount and temperature of steam in the steaming chamber 321, thereby improving the steaming efficiency.

[0051] Specifically, the air supply hole is located on the side of the steam pipe 350 facing the bearing section 211. The steam output from the air supply hole can be directly injected into the slurry on the bearing section 211 to improve the heating effect on the slurry.

[0052] Reference Figure 5According to some embodiments of this application, the feeding module 400 includes an oiling assembly 410 and a slurry feeding assembly 420. The oiling assembly 410 includes an oil supply pipe 411, an oil tank 412, and a sponge 413. The oil supply port of the oil supply pipe 411 faces the oil tank 412. An oil drop port is provided below the oil tank 412 along the width direction. The sponge 413 is located below the oil drop port and is used to abut against the conveyor belt 210. The sponge 413 is arranged along the width direction. The slurry feeding assembly 420 is located downstream of the oiling assembly 410. The slurry feeding assembly 420 includes a slurry feeding pipe 421. The slurry supply port of the slurry feeding pipe 421 faces the conveyor belt 210 and is used to output slurry to the conveyor belt 210.

[0053] Understandably, the oil supply port of the oil supply pipe 411 is used to output edible oil towards the oil tank 412. The edible oil in the oil tank 412 will overflow from the oil outlet and be output onto the sponge 413 below. The oil outlet, which is set along the width direction, can ensure the output range of edible oil relative to the sponge 413, so that the sponge 413 can absorb edible oil in the width direction. The sponge 413, which is set along the width direction, can evenly coat the edible oil it absorbs onto one side of the conveyor belt 210 that it is in contact with. This ensures that the edible oil on the conveyor belt 210 is evenly coated, so that when the rice noodle roll is scraped off the conveyor belt 210, it is less likely to have problems such as broken rolls, sticking, or difficulty in picking up the roll. This ensures the quality of the rice noodle roll forming, and the even oil film can make the formed rice noodle roll taste better. In addition, the slurry supply port of the slurry supply pipe 421 can output slurry towards the conveyor belt 210 coated with edible oil. The slurry is heated by the steam module 300 and formed into rice noodle roll.

[0054] Specifically, the width of the sponge 413 is greater than or equal to the width of the conveyor belt 210 to ensure the coating range of the edible oil on the conveyor belt 210.

[0055] Specifically, the slurry supply assembly 420 also includes a slurry tank 427. The slurry inlet of the slurry supply pipe 421 is inserted into the slurry tank 427. The slurry in the slurry tank 427 is drawn into the slurry supply pipe 421 by the pump body and output from the slurry supply port of the slurry supply pipe 421.

[0056] Specifically, the brushing assembly 410 also includes an oil tank, with the oil inlet of the oil supply pipe 411 inserted into the oil tank. The oil in the oil tank is drawn into the oil supply pipe 411 by the pump body and output from the oil supply port of the oil supply pipe 411.

[0057] Reference Figure 8 According to some embodiments of this application, the slurry supply assembly 420 includes a mounting frame 422 and two shaping side plates 423. The mounting frame 422 is fixedly installed, and the shaping side plates 423 are connected to the mounting frame 422. The lower end of the shaping side plates 423 abuts against the conveyor belt 210. The two shaping side plates 423 are distributed along the width direction, and the slurry supply port of the slurry supply pipe 421 is located between the two shaping side plates 423.

[0058] It is understandable that the slurry supply pipe 421 outputs slurry between the two shaping side plates 423. The two shaping side plates 423 can limit the width of the slurry, so that the width of the slurry output from the positioning side plates is consistent, ensuring that the width of the rice noodle rolls formed subsequently is consistent, thus guaranteeing the forming quality and avoiding uneven thickness of the rice noodle rolls.

[0059] Specifically, the lower end of the shaping side plate 423 abuts against the upper side of the conveyor belt 210, thereby preventing slurry from overflowing between the shaping side plate 423 and the conveyor belt 210.

[0060] Specifically, the portion of the conveyor belt 210 corresponding to the preheating chamber 312 is connected to the side of the positioning side plate that outputs slurry. The slurry output from the positioning side plate can quickly pass over the preheating chamber 312, so that the slurry is pre-shaped and maintained at its current width, preventing it from shrinking inward.

[0061] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8 According to some embodiments of this application, the slurry supply assembly 420 further includes a support plate 424, a first limiting plate 425, and a second limiting plate 426. The first limiting plate 425 and the second limiting plate 426 are connected to the mounting frame 422. The first limiting plate 425 and the second limiting plate 426 are distributed along a first direction. The slurry supply port of the slurry supply pipe 421 is located between the first limiting plate 425 and the second limiting plate 426. The first limiting plate 425 is located on the upstream side of the second limiting plate 426. The first limiting plate 425 abuts against the upper side of the conveyor belt 210. The support plate 424 is located below the first limiting plate 425 and is used to support the lower side of the conveyor belt 210. A channel 426a for slurry passage is formed between the second limiting plate 426 and the conveyor belt 210.

[0062] Understandably, after the conveyor belt 210 is coated with edible oil, it first passes between the first limiting plate 425 and the support plate 424. The first limiting plate 425 and the support plate 424 abut against the upper and lower sides of the conveyor belt 210 respectively to ensure the tension and stability of the conveyor belt 210's material flow direction. Subsequently, the conveyor belt 210 moves to below the slurry inlet of the slurry supply pipe 421, and the slurry supply pipe 421 outputs slurry to the conveyor belt 210. Next, the conveyor belt 210 carrying the slurry passes below the second limiting plate 426, forming a channel 426a between the second limiting plate 426 and the conveyor belt 210. The channel 426a allows the slurry to pass through and can limit the thickness of the slurry, ensuring uniform slurry thickness.

[0063] Reference Figure 8 According to some embodiments of this application, multiple oil outlet holes 412a are provided and distributed along the width direction, or the oil outlet holes 412a extend along the width direction.

[0064] Understandably, in some embodiments, the oil outlet 412a is circular, and multiple oil outlets 412a are provided and distributed along the width direction, so that oil drips onto various positions along the width direction of the sponge 413 through the multiple oil outlets 412a distributed along the width direction. In other embodiments, there is a single oil outlet 412a that extends along the width direction, so that oil drips onto various positions along the width direction of the sponge 413 through the oil outlet 412a extending along the width direction.

[0065] Reference Figure 8 According to some embodiments of this application, the oil outlet 412a is opened on one side of the oil groove 412 in the first direction.

[0066] It is understandable that the oil outlet 412a is located on one side of the oil tank 412 in the first direction. With this setting, the oil outlet 412a is at a certain height from the bottom of the oil tank 412. The oil supply pipe 411 needs to output a certain amount of oil towards the oil tank 412 before the upper layer of edible oil will naturally overflow from the oil outlet 412a. The oil output is continuous and uniform, and will not drip onto the sponge 413 in unevenly sized drops. In addition, the oil residue can sink to the bottom of the oil tank 412 and will not affect the oil output from the side oil outlet 412a.

[0067] Reference Figure 8 According to some embodiments of this application, the slurry supply assembly 420 includes a mounting frame 422 and two shaping side plates 423. The mounting frame 422 is fixedly installed, and the shaping side plates 423 are connected to the mounting frame 422. The lower end of the shaping side plates 423 abuts against the conveyor belt 210. The two shaping side plates 423 are distributed along the width direction, and the slurry supply port of the slurry supply pipe 421 is located between the two shaping side plates 423.

[0068] It is understandable that the slurry supply pipe 421 outputs slurry between the two shaping side plates 423. The two shaping side plates 423 can limit the width of the slurry, so that the width of the slurry output from the positioning side plates is consistent, ensuring that the width of the rice noodle rolls formed subsequently is consistent, thus guaranteeing the forming quality and avoiding uneven thickness of the rice noodle rolls.

[0069] Specifically, the lower end of the shaping side plate 423 abuts against the upper side of the conveyor belt 210, thereby preventing slurry from overflowing between the shaping side plate 423 and the conveyor belt 210.

[0070] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8According to some embodiments of this application, the slurry supply assembly 420 further includes a support plate 424, a first limiting plate 425, and a second limiting plate 426. The first limiting plate 425 and the second limiting plate 426 are connected to the mounting frame 422. The first limiting plate 425 and the second limiting plate 426 are distributed along a first direction. The slurry supply port of the slurry supply pipe 421 is located between the first limiting plate 425 and the second limiting plate 426. The first limiting plate 425 is located on the upstream side of the second limiting plate 426. The first limiting plate 425 abuts against the upper side of the conveyor belt 210. The support plate 424 is located below the first limiting plate 425 and is used to support the lower side of the conveyor belt 210. A channel 426a for slurry passage is formed between the second limiting plate 426 and the conveyor belt 210.

[0071] Understandably, after the conveyor belt 210 is coated with edible oil, it first passes between the first limiting plate 425 and the support plate 424. The first limiting plate 425 and the support plate 424 abut against the upper and lower sides of the conveyor belt 210 respectively to ensure the tension and stability of the conveyor belt 210's material flow direction. Subsequently, the conveyor belt 210 moves to below the slurry inlet of the slurry supply pipe 421, and the slurry supply pipe 421 outputs slurry to the conveyor belt 210. Next, the conveyor belt 210 carrying the slurry passes below the second limiting plate 426, forming a channel 426a between the second limiting plate 426 and the conveyor belt 210. The channel 426a allows the slurry to pass through and can limit the thickness of the slurry, ensuring uniform slurry thickness.

[0072] Reference Figure 8 According to some embodiments of this application, the slurry supply assembly 420 further includes an elastic element (not shown in the figure), and the first limiting plate 425, the second limiting plate 426 and the two shaping side plates 423 are fixedly connected to each other. At least one of the first limiting plate 425, the second limiting plate 426 and the two shaping side plates 423 is vertically and vertically connected to the mounting frame 422 through the elastic element.

[0073] It is understandable that the first limiting plate 425, the second limiting plate 426, and the two shaping side plates 423 are relatively fixed, so that the height of the four can be adjusted simultaneously relative to the conveyor belt 210. One of the first limiting plate 425, the second limiting plate 426, and the two shaping side plates 423 is vertically and vertically connected to the mounting frame 422 through an elastic element. With this arrangement, the elastic element can ensure that the first limiting plate 425 and the two shaping side plates 423 abut against the conveyor belt 210, and that the second limiting plate 426 has a certain distance from the conveyor belt 210 to form a channel 426a through which slurry can pass.

[0074] Reference Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this application, it also includes an air outlet assembly 430, which is provided with a first air outlet 431, which is located above the slurry supply port of the slurry supply pipe 421.

[0075] Understandably, the first air outlet 431 of the air outlet component 430 can blow air between the two shaping side plates 423, which can disperse the steam overflowing from the steam module 300 and drifting to the shaping side plates 423. This prevents the steam from preheating the unshaped slurry at the shaping side plates 423, causing the slurry to solidify prematurely, resulting in uneven thickness or a grainy texture in the subsequent rice noodle rolls, which would affect the taste of the rice noodle rolls.

[0076] Reference Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this application, the air outlet assembly 430 is provided with a second air outlet 432, which faces the pulp outlet side of the channel 426a.

[0077] Understandably, the second air outlet 432 blows air towards the slurry outlet side of the channel 426a, thereby preventing steam from drifting between the two shaping side plates 423, in order to further ensure the forming quality of the rice noodle roll.

[0078] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of this application, the conveyor belt 210 and the slurry supply pipe 421 are both installed on the frame 100 with one end having a slurry supply port. The slurry supply assembly 420 also includes a slurry tank 427, which is connected to the slurry inlet of the slurry supply pipe 421 and is placed outside the machine body.

[0079] Understandably, the conveyor belt 210 is positioned on the frame 100 along the first direction, and its conveying path passes through the slurry inlet of the slurry supply pipe 421 to carry the slurry output from the slurry supply inlet. The slurry inlet of the slurry supply pipe 421 is inserted into the slurry tank 427, and the slurry in the slurry tank 427 is drawn into the slurry supply pipe 421 by the pump and output from the slurry inlet. Since the slurry tank 427 is relatively heavy, placing the slurry tank 427 outside the frame 100, in conjunction with the slurry supply pipe 421, eliminates the need to lift the slurry tank 427 onto the frame 100, reducing manual labor.

[0080] Reference Figure 3 According to some embodiments of this application, the frame 100 forms an upper exposed installation space 120, and an openable and closable baffle 110 is provided on one side of the frame 100 in the width direction to open or cover one side of the installation space 120; the conveyor belt 210 is disposed on the frame 100 along the first direction and located in the installation space 120.

[0081] Understandably, when cleaning the rice noodle roll machine of this application is required, the baffle 110 located on one side of the frame 100 can be opened, exposing one side of the installation space 120. The steam hood 310 is located below the carrying section 211 and spaced apart from the return section 212. Therefore, the steam hood 310 does not obstruct the area between the carrying section 211 and the return section 212 of the conveyor belt 210, thus facilitating the rinsing and cleaning of the installation space 120 inside the frame 100 and the conveyor belt 210. Furthermore, the conveyor belt 210 has a certain degree of flexibility and can be lifted or pushed aside to expose the interior of the steam hood 310 below, facilitating the rinsing and cleaning of the interior of the steam hood 310.

[0082] Reference Figure 4 According to some embodiments of this application, the steam hood 310 is detachably connected to the frame 100.

[0083] Understandably, the ability to remove the steam hood 310 from the frame 100 during the cleaning process makes the cleaning of the steam hood 310 more convenient.

[0084] Reference Figure 1 According to some embodiments of this application, a first drain outlet 121 is provided at the bottom of the rack 100 corresponding to the mounting space 120.

[0085] Understandably, when cleaning the installation space 120, the water inside the installation space 120 can be drained out through the drain outlet to avoid water accumulation inside the installation space 120.

[0086] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 According to some embodiments of this application, the conveying module 200 further includes two guide rollers 220, which are rotatably mounted on the frame 100, and the conveyor belt 210 is wound around the two guide rollers 220; the guide rollers 220 have guide grooves 221 extending in the circumferential direction on their circumferential sides, and the conveyor belt 210 has protrusions 213 on its inner side, which pass through the guide grooves 221 and can slide relative to the guide grooves 221.

[0087] Understandably, the guide roller 220 is driven by a motor to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 210 to circulate and transport the slurry. During the circulatory operation of the conveyor belt 210 driven by the guide roller 220, the protrusions 213 on the inner side of the conveyor belt 210 slide against the guide grooves 221 on the periphery of the guide roller 220, thereby guiding the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 210 and preventing the conveyor belt 210 from deviating relative to the guide roller 220.

[0088] Reference Figure 2According to some embodiments of this application, a guide groove 221 is provided and located at one end of the guide roller 220 in the axial direction, and a convex strip 213 is provided and located at one end of the conveyor belt 210 in the width direction.

[0089] Understandably, by setting only one guide groove 221 and a protrusion 213, when a large amount of water accumulates in the return section 212 of the lower layer of the conveyor belt 210, the return section 212 will tilt to one side. Since only one protrusion 213 is set, the accumulated water can flow out from the side of the return section 212 where the protrusion 213 is not set, thereby preventing the return section 212 from sinking due to excessive water accumulation.

[0090] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 According to some embodiments of this application, a control module 500 is also included. The control module 500 includes a control panel 510 and a controller 520. The controller 520 and the control panel 510 are connected by wires. The control panel 510 is disposed at the upper end of the frame 100. The frame 100 forms a receiving space 130 below the corresponding installation space 120. The receiving space 130 is separated from the installation space 120. The controller 520 is disposed in the receiving space 130. A water-blocking space 140 is formed on the side of the frame 100 away from the baffle plate 110, which communicates with the receiving space 130. A first partition plate 150 is disposed between the frame 100 and the corresponding installation space 120 and the water-blocking space 140. The frame 100 is provided with a wire hole 160, which communicates with the water-blocking space 140 and the interior of the control panel 510. The wires pass from the controller 520 through the receiving space 130, the water-blocking space 140 and the wire hole 160 to the control panel 510.

[0091] Understandably, the control panel 510 is electrically connected to the steam module 300 and the conveying module 200 via the controller 520, and is used to control the operating status of the steam module 300 and the conveying module 200. The controller 520 is located within the frame 100 and in the receiving space 130 below the installation space 120. The receiving space 130 is separated from the installation space 120. Therefore, during the steaming of rice noodle rolls by the conveying module 200 and the steam module 300, the slurry will not fall into the receiving space 130, and it will not be washed into the receiving space 130 when cleaning the installation space 120, thus achieving waterproof protection for the controller 520 during the cleaning process. The controller 520 and the control panel 510 are connected by a wire. The wire passes from top to bottom through the water-blocking space 140 from the receiving space 130, extends to the wire hole 160 on the frame 100, and passes through the wire hole 160 into the control panel 510, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the controller 520 and the control panel 510. This arrangement of the wires ensures that the wires do not come into contact with water during the cleaning process.

[0092] Reference Figure 3 According to some embodiments of this application, the steam module 300 further includes a pipe 360, which connects the steam generator 330 and the steam chamber 311. The pipe 360 ​​passes through the water-blocking space 140, through the first partition 150, to one side of the steam hood 310.

[0093] It is understandable that the steam generated by the steam generator 330 enters the steam chamber 311 through the pipe 360. By passing the pipe 360 ​​through the water-blocking space 140 through the first partition 150 to the installation space 120 and extending to the lower side of the steam hood 310, the pipe 360 ​​can be prevented from interfering with the cleaning process of the installation space 120.

[0094] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 According to some embodiments of this application, a scraping module 600 is also included. The scraping module 600 is disposed downstream of the steam module 300. The frame 100 has a dropping space 170 that communicates with the installation space 120 and is located below the installation space 120. The scraping module 600 abuts against the conveyor belt 210 and is used to scrape the formed material on the conveyor belt 210 and drop it into the dropping space 170. The scraping module 600 is at least partially located in the installation space 120.

[0095] Understandably, after the steam module 300 cooks the slurry on the conveyor belt 210 to form rice noodle rolls, as the conveyor belt 210 is conveyed, the scraper module 600 comes into contact with the conveyor belt 210 and scrapes the rice noodle rolls off the conveyor belt 210 and they fall into the dropping space 170. During the process of falling, the strip-shaped rice noodle rolls will fall into the tray in the dropping space 170 in a folded form, thus completing the automatic discharge of the rice noodle rolls.

[0096] It is also understandable that placing the scraper module 600 at least partially within the installation space 120 facilitates the cleaning of the scraper module 600.

[0097] Reference Figure 6 According to some embodiments of this application, the frame 100 has a water flow space 180 on one side of the material discharge space 170, and a second partition 190 is provided between the frame 100 and the water flow space 180 and the material discharge space 170. The scraping module 600 includes a guide plate 610 and a scraper 620. The scraper 620 is located above the material discharge space 170 and abuts against the lower side of the conveyor belt 210, and is used to scrape the formed material off the conveyor belt 210. One end of the guide plate 610 is located below the scraper 620, and the other end extends above or inside the water flow space 180. The guide plate 610 is inclined from high to low from one end to the other.

[0098] Understandably, the scraper 620 abuts against the conveyor belt 210 to catch the rice noodle rolls on the conveyor belt 210. The water adhering to the rice noodle rolls will flow downwards along the inclined direction of the scraper 620. By setting a guide plate 610 below the scraper 620, the water dripping from the scraper 620 will drip onto the guide plate 610 located below the scraper 620. Subsequently, the water will flow along the inclined direction of the guide plate 610 and flow out from the other end of the guide plate 610 to the water flow space 180. The water flow space 180 and the material drop space 170 are separated by a second partition 190. This arrangement can prevent water from falling onto the rice noodle rolls located in the material drop space 170, thus ensuring the texture of the rice noodle rolls.

[0099] Reference Figure 6 According to some embodiments of this application, the water-carrying space 180 is connected to the installation space 120, and the water-carrying space 180 is provided with a second drain outlet 181.

[0100] Understandably, during the cleaning of the installation space 120, water can also flow away from the water flow space 180 and be discharged through the second drain outlet 181 in the water flow space 180, which improves the convenience of cleaning and also facilitates the cleaning of the water flow space 180 and the guide plate 610 and scraper 620 above the water flow space 180.

[0101] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.
