Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing equipment, in particular to a dough dividing machine with an automatic feeding function. Background Art

[0002] The automatic feeding dough dividing machine is an advanced equipment for dough processing. It can realize automatic feeding and precise division of dough, including feeding system, division system, control system, sensor technology. The important advantage of the automatic feeding dough dividing machine is to improve production efficiency and reduce labor costs. It can quickly and accurately divide the dough into the required shape, and is suitable for the processing of various pasta such as bread, biscuits, steamed buns, etc. The existing multifunctional dough dividing machine (CN213404669U) has at least the following defects in use:

[0003] 1. During use, the dough sticks to the parts of the automatic feeding system, which will hinder the normal operation of the automatic feeding system and affect the work efficiency. It may also cause uneven division or mixing of the dough, affecting the quality of the final product. Therefore, an automatic feeding dough cutting machine is needed to reduce the adhesion of the dough when it contacts the equipment.

[0004] 2. When the automatic loading dough divider needs to maintain or replace the stirring rod, the inconvenient disassembly design of the stirring rod may limit the flexibility of the dough divider. Different types of ingredients and doughs require different types of stirring rods. The inconvenient disassembly will limit the replacement of the stirring rod for specific needs. The design that is not easy to disassemble will increase the complexity and difficulty of the operation and may increase the cost of repair. Therefore, an automatic loading dough divider with an easily disassembled stirring rod is needed.

[0005] 3. The commonly used dough sensing method for dough dividers is to use photoelectric sensors or pressure sensors. Photoelectric sensors and pressure sensors rely on detecting the physical properties of the dough, such as shape, thickness, pressure, etc. If the dough has high humidity or viscosity, or is irregular in shape, the sensor may not be able to accurately detect the presence of the dough or trigger the cutting action. Therefore, an automatic loading dough divider that can accurately detect and divide the dough is needed. Utility Model Content

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the utility model clearer, the utility model is further described in detail below in combination with specific implementation methods and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are only exemplary and are not intended to limit the scope of the utility model. In addition, in the following description, the description of well-known structures and technologies is omitted to avoid unnecessary confusion of the concept of the utility model.

[0027] Example: Figure 1 As shown, a dough dividing machine with automatic feeding function includes a body 1 placed on the upper end of a base 2, the inner side of the body 1 is a trapezoidal groove, two drawers are arranged inside the base 2 for placing items, a dividing box 3 on the right side of the body 1 is a rectangular hollow structure, and the bottom surface of the dividing box 3 is open, an electric cylinder 8 is arranged inside the bracket 4 installed at the lower end of the left side of the body 1, and the piston of the electric cylinder 8 can push the dough inside the body 1 to move toward the discharge port 13, and the flour funnel 6 placed on the inner wall of the right side of the body 1 is a long strip flour funnel.

[0028] like Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the motor at the lower end of the first crawler 9 starts to rotate and drives the gear 10 to rotate, and drives another gear 10 to rotate through meshing, thereby driving the stirring rod 11 connected by the second connecting body 21 and the limiting column 22 that passes through the push plate 5 to rotate to stir the flour in the machine body 1 into dough. The stirring rod 11 is long and can be removed from the push plate 5 together with the limiting column 22. The detachable stirring rod increases the convenience of operation during maintenance or replacement. The piston of the electric cylinder 8 can push the dough inside the machine body 1 to move toward the discharge port 13 at the right end of the machine body 1. The support body 7 installed at the upper end of the right side of the machine body 1 is in the shape of a long ladder, with a slender hole at the bottom and located above the discharge port 13. A flour funnel 6 is placed on the upper end of the support body 7. The flour funnel 6 is long and has a hole at the bottom. The elongated holes are used for uniform dispersion of powdered materials. The elongated holes next to the flour nozzle form a narrow and long outlet, allowing the flour to leak evenly at a smaller flow rate, thereby achieving more precise control and dispersion; the proximity sensor switch 20 on the inner wall of the dividing box can send a signal to the inverter 15 on the right side of the machine body 1 when touched by the dough. The inverter 15 can control the speed and start and stop of the servo motor 18. The proximity sensor switch 20 contains an inductor coil and certain circuit components. When the dough approaches the switch, it will change the magnetic field around the switch, thereby causing the induced current in the inductor coil to change. The E2E2-X5Y1-US model has a detection distance of 5mm and is suitable for dough dividers in harsh environments such as high temperature, humidity or dust. It has wear resistance and anti-pollution properties, can stably and reliably detect the position of the dough, and can achieve detection without physical contact, so it will not be affected by factors such as dough humidity, viscosity or irregular shape. It has good durability and stability, and can accurately detect the position and contact of objects in the dough divider. The transparent protective cover 23 on the outside of the proximity sensor switch 20 is made of plastic or glass, has good light transparency, provides a physical barrier while not hindering the switch's perception of the object, and prevents external factors from damaging the proximity sensor switch 20, such as collision, dust, liquid, etc. The servo motor 18 and the proximity sensor switch 20 are connected with a cable, and the contacts of the proximity sensor switch 20 are connected to the controller input end of the servo motor 18. Then, the servo motor 18 rotates through the second crawler 19 to drive the rotating body 17 on the outside of the first connecting body 16 to rotate, thereby driving the divider fixedly connected to the rotating body 17 to divide the dough coming out of the discharge port 13. A polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) anti-stick coating 12 is arranged inside the discharge port: PTFE is an economical and widely used anti-stick coating 12 material, which has excellent non-stickiness and high temperature resistance, and can effectively reduce the adhesion problem when the dough contacts the equipment. The PTFE coating has high durability and can be used for a long time without being easily worn, thereby reducing the cost of coating maintenance and replacement; the mold 14 that fits on the outside of the discharge port 13 can be disassembled and replaced with the required shape. The servo motor 18 and the inverter 15 are existing structures and are not described here.

[0029] Working principle: The motor at the lower end of the first crawler 9 starts to rotate and drives the gear 10 to rotate, which drives the other gear 10 to rotate through meshing, thereby driving the stirring rod 11 connected through the second connecting body 21 and the limit column 22 penetrating the push plate 5 to rotate to stir the flour in the machine body 1 into dough. The piston of the electric cylinder 8 can push the dough inside the machine body 1 to move to the discharge port 13 at the right end of the machine body 1. The slender strip hole at the lower end of the flour funnel 6 allows the flour to leak evenly at a smaller flow rate, and the anti-stick coating 12 in the discharge port 13 can reduce the dough. The dough sticks to the equipment when it contacts the dough. The dough coming out of the discharge port 13 touches the proximity sensor switch 20. The proximity sensor switch 20 sends a signal to the signal receiving end of the frequency converter 15. The frequency converter 15 controls the speed and start and stop of the servo motor 18. The servo motor 18 rotates through the second crawler 19 to drive the rotating body 17 on the outside of the first connecting body 16 to rotate, thereby driving the divider fixedly connected to the rotating body 17 to divide the dough coming out of the discharge port 13. The mold 14 that fits on the outside of the discharge port 13 can be removed and replaced with the required shape.
