It contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, a small amount of vitamins and minerals such as calcium, potassium, magnesium, zinc, etc. It has a variety of flavors, is easy to digest and absorb, and is convenient to eat. It is very popular among people in daily life.

[0003] In the production and processing of pasta food, it is necessary to manually process the dough into individual small doughs and then place the dough in a tray, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low production and processing efficiency. In addition, the doughs are of different sizes, which affects subsequent processing and is inconvenient in specific usage scenarios. For this reason, we propose an automatic dough positioning and unloading device for bread production to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The embodiment of the present application solves the problems in the prior art by providing an automatic dough positioning and unloading device for bread production.

[0027] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0028] The specific structure of this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-5 As shown, an automatic positioning and unloading device for dough in bread production comprises a bracket 1, a conveyor belt 2 is arranged in the middle of the bracket 1, a unloading box 3 is arranged on the upper surface of the bracket 1, an electric box 4 is arranged on one side of the unloading box 3, a dividing box 5 is arranged on the side of the unloading box 3 away from the electric box 4, a discharge port 304 is arranged below the dividing box 5, and an infrared sensor 6 is arranged on the lower surface of the dividing box 5.

[0029] The user places the receiving tray on the conveyor belt 2. When the receiving tray reaches below the discharge port 304, the infrared sensor 6 senses it, causing the conveyor belt 2 to stop transmitting and automatically open the solenoid valve 305. At this time, the dough is squeezed out from the discharge port 304, which can automatically position the receiving tray.

[0030] In some examples, support legs are provided on both sides of the lower surface of the material box 3, and the two support legs are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bracket 1. The upper surface of the material box 3 is fixedly connected with a first material inlet 301, and material guide plates 302 are provided on both sides of the interior of the material box 3, and two spiral shafts 303 are provided below the two material guide plates 302.

[0031] In some examples, two first motors 401 are disposed inside the electrical box 4 , and the rotating shafts of the two first motors 401 are fixedly connected to the two screw shafts 303 , respectively.

[0032] The dough is placed into the first feed port 301 , and the dough reaches the spiral shaft 303 through the guide plate 302 . The first motor 401 is turned on, and the two spiral shafts 303 are driven by the motor to rotate, so that the dough moves toward the discharge port 304 , which can achieve the effect of transferring the dough to the discharge port 304 .

[0033] In some examples, the discharge port 304 is located below the dividing box 5 , and a solenoid valve 305 is disposed inside the discharge port 304 .

[0034] In some examples, the split box 5 is fixedly connected to the lower material box 3, a second feed port 501 is provided on the upper surface of the split box 5, an oil storage tank 502 is provided inside the split box 5, the oil storage tank 502 is communicated with the second feed port 501, an oil seepage plate 503 is fixedly connected below the oil storage tank 502, oil seepage holes are provided inside the oil seepage plate 503, transverse plates 504 are fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the split box 5 near the bottom of the oil storage tank 502, and sponges 505 are provided above the two transverse plates 504.

[0035] In some examples, a rotating rod 506 is disposed inside the dividing box 5, a second motor 507 is disposed on one side of the rotating rod 506, a cutting blade 508 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 506, the gap between the two sponges 505 matches the thickness of the cutting blade 508, and the cutting blade 508 is close to one side of the discharge port 304.

[0036] The second motor 507 drives the rotating rod 506 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 506 drives the cutting blade 508 to divide the dough and drop it into the receiving plate. When the cutting knife plate rotates to the inside of the dividing box 5, since sponges 505 are provided on both sides of the dividing box 5, the user pours cooking oil into the second feeding port 501. At this time, the cooking oil is stored in the oil storage tank 502. The cooking oil in the oil storage tank 502 flows out through the oil seepage plate 503 and is adsorbed on the sponge 505. During the rotation of the cutting blade 508, the surface is coated with cooking oil, which can automatically divide the dough in a quantitative manner and prevent the dough from sticking to the cutting blade 508.

[0037] In a specific application scenario, firstly, the dough is put into the first feeding port 301, the dough reaches the spiral shaft 303 through the guide plate 302, the first motor 401 is turned on, and the two spiral shafts 303 are driven by the motor to rotate, so that the dough moves to the side of the discharge port 304, and the user places the receiving tray on the conveyor belt 2. When the receiving tray reaches the bottom of the discharge port 304, the infrared sensor 6 is sensed to stop the conveyor belt 2 and automatically open the solenoid valve 305. At this time, the dough is squeezed out from the discharge port 304, and then the solenoid valve 305 is opened. The second motor 507 drives the rotating rod 506 to rotate, so that the rotating rod 506 drives the cutting blade 508 to divide the dough and drop it into the receiving plate. When the cutting knife plate rotates to the inside of the dividing box 5, since sponges 505 are provided on both sides of the dividing box 5, the user pours edible oil into the second feeding port 501. At this time, the edible oil is stored in the oil storage tank 502. The edible oil in the oil storage tank 502 flows out through the oil seepage plate 503 and is adsorbed on the sponge 505, so that the surface of the cutting blade 508 is coated with edible oil during the rotation process.

[0038] By adopting the above technical scheme: not only can the spiral shaft 303 be provided so that the device can transfer the dough to the discharge port 304, but also the infrared sensor 6 and the solenoid valve 305 can be provided so that the device can automatically position and receive the material, and the cutting blade 508 can be provided so that the device can automatically divide the dough into quantitative portions and prevent the dough from sticking to the cutting blade 508.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that: Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly explaining the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For ordinary technicians in the relevant field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from this are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
