Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to food production and processing, and more specifically to a solid auxiliary material dosing machine. Background Art

[0002] There are many kinds of convenience foods. With the quickening pace of life, various rice and flour products, such as steamed buns, dumplings, steamed cakes, rice cakes and other foods, can be used as quick-frozen foods in the modern food industry. They are quickly frozen after production so that consumers can eat them after a little heating.

[0003] For the above-mentioned quick-frozen instant rice and noodle products, in order to make the products more delicious and increase the sensory effects, or to pursue more food innovation, some auxiliary materials will be added to the food, especially adding some embellishments on the surface of the food, such as dotting a certain number of red dates or nuts in regular arrangements on the surface of the steamed cake.

[0004] Take the example of putting three red dates on the center of the steamed cake. The existing operation is generally done manually. The staff puts three red dates in the steamed cake product at the same time when it is transported by the conveyor belt.

[0021] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present utility model, the present utility model is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0022] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model discloses a solid auxiliary material dot-feeding machine. The food to be dotted, such as rice and flour products, is contained in a dot-feeding box or a dot-feeding tray. It can be steamed buns, steamed cakes, etc. In this embodiment, a dot-feeding box containing steamed cakes is taken as an example. The solid auxiliary material is red dates, and the dot-feeding machine is used to dot the red dates on the surface of the steamed cakes. The dot-feeding box 11 to be dotted is placed on a conveyor belt 1 for transmission, and the dot-feeding machine is located on one side of the conveyor belt 1. The dot-feeding machine in this example is arranged on a machine table 2, and the machine table 2 is located on one side of the conveyor belt 1. The dot-feeding machine includes an auxiliary material turntable 3, a tray 4, a downward pressing component 5 that can move up and down, and at least one material turning component 6.

[0023] Among them, the rotatable auxiliary material turntable 3 is installed above the fixed tray 4. A plurality of solid material hole groups are provided in the auxiliary material turntable 3, and a discharge hole group is provided on the tray 4 to be opposite to the solid material hole group of the auxiliary material turntable, and the discharge hole group of the tray 4 is located above the conveyor belt 1. Each solid material hole group includes at least one solid material hole 31, and each discharge hole group has at least one discharge hole 41. The solid material hole 31 allows solid auxiliary materials, such as red dates, to fall into it and sink to a limited position, and the solid material hole 31 has a depth that can be fixed or sunk into it after the solid auxiliary materials fall into it. In this embodiment, 6 groups of solid material hole groups are spaced apart on the auxiliary material turntable 3, and each solid material hole group includes 3 solid material holes 31 to form a triangular distribution. There is only one group of discharge hole groups on the tray 4, and the discharge hole group correspondingly includes 3 discharge holes 41 to form a triangular distribution. The shape and size of the solid material hole 31 or the discharge hole 41 are designed according to the auxiliary materials required for the point material, and in this embodiment, it is set to an elliptical hole. The positions of the solid material holes 31 in the solid material hole group can be set according to the placement requirements of the solid auxiliary materials (such as direction, relative position, etc.) to avoid the solid auxiliary materials presenting an irregular state on the product to be tapped and affecting the overall appearance of the product. When the solid material holes 31 on the auxiliary material turntable 3 and the discharge holes 41 of the tray 4 overlap, a perforation can be formed so that the solid auxiliary materials fall from the discharge holes 41 and then pass through the pressing assembly for tapping.

[0024] The auxiliary material turntable 3 in this embodiment forms a disc, a middle isolation plate 32 is provided in the middle of the auxiliary material turntable 4, an outer baffle 33 is provided around the outer side of the auxiliary material turntable, and the middle isolation plate 32 and the outer baffle 33 do not rotate with the auxiliary material turntable 3, so as to concentrate the solid auxiliary materials, such as red dates, in the area between the middle isolation plate 32 and the outer baffle 33 in the auxiliary material turntable. Multiple groups of solid material hole groups are arranged at intervals in the area 33 between the middle isolation plate 21 and the outer baffle and arranged around the center of the auxiliary material turntable. A grid area 34 is also provided in the auxiliary material turntable 3, and the grid area 34 is located between the two groups of solid material hole groups, and the through hole of the grid area 34 is smaller than the minimum diameter length of the solid auxiliary material. In this embodiment, the grid area 34 is a strip grid, and the grid area 34 can be convenient for filtering small impurities in the solid auxiliary material.

[0025] The material turning assembly 6 may include a plurality of fan blades 62 formed with an inclined angle with the auxiliary material turntable on a rotating shaft 61, and the rotating shaft 62 may be fixed on a third fixing frame 63, and the third fixing frame 63 is fixed on the machine table 2, and a motor 64 that can drive the rotating shaft 62 to rotate is installed on the third fixing frame. The distance between the bottom of the fan blade 62 and the auxiliary material turntable 3 is controlled to be less than the height of the solid auxiliary material naturally placed on the auxiliary material turntable, so that the solid auxiliary material, such as red dates, can be prevented from stacking together, causing two red dates to be superimposed in a solid material hole 31 at the same time. In addition, the rotation direction of the fan blade 62 is opposite to the rotation direction of the auxiliary material turntable 3, so as to facilitate the solid auxiliary material on the auxiliary material turntable 3 to be scattered, so that the auxiliary material can enter the solid material hole 31 to limit when the auxiliary material turntable 3 rotates.

[0026] The pressing assembly 5 is located above the discharge hole group, and a detection assembly 7 is also provided on one side of the pressing assembly 5 to detect whether the solid material hole group is filled with solid auxiliary materials, and a material point signal is issued after filling. The pressing assembly 5 may include a first cylinder 52 provided on a first fixed frame 51, and the first cylinder 52 drives a push plate 53 to move up and down. At least one pressing column 54 is provided at the bottom of the push plate 53, corresponding to the top of each discharge hole 41. The pressing column can pass through the solid material hole 31 and the discharge hole 41 in sequence to press the solid auxiliary materials down into the material box 11 to be pointed for material point operation. The detection assembly 7 includes a detection plate 72 provided on a second fixed frame 71, which is located above the auxiliary material turntable 4 and corresponds to the moving route of the solid material hole group. At least one detection point (not shown in the figure) is provided on the detection plate 72, which corresponds to the top of each solid material hole 31, and there are 3 in this embodiment. Through the detection points on the detection plate, the detection signal is increased, which can ensure that the solid auxiliary materials meet the requirements 100% and avoid defective products caused by insufficient materials.

[0027] Furthermore, in the auxiliary material turntable 3, a baffle plate 35 can be fixed on the inner side of the outer baffle plate 33, located between the pressing assembly 5 and the detection assembly 7 and bypassing the middle isolation plate 32, and the baffle plate can be stopped in front of the pressing assembly 5 to separate an area convenient for pressing the material. As for the height of the baffle plate 35, the distance between the bottom edge of the baffle plate 35 and the auxiliary material turntable 3 is controlled to be less than the height of the solid auxiliary material naturally placed on the auxiliary material turntable, so that the solid auxiliary material, such as red dates, can be prevented from being stacked together, and two red dates are simultaneously superimposed in a solid material hole 31, resulting in repeated material selection.

[0028] In this embodiment, the tray 4 can be supported on the machine 2 by a support frame 42, and a driving mechanism 43, such as a stepping motor, is installed at the bottom of the tray 4 to drive the auxiliary material turntable to rotate. The machine is also provided with an electric control system (not shown in the figure), and the driving mechanism 43, the pressing component 5, the detection component 7 and the turning component 6 are respectively connected to the electric control system. For example, the detection point in the detection component 7 can send a material point signal to the electric control system after detecting that the solid material hole group is filled. The electric control system can control the driving mechanism 43 to stop rotating at the next moving station, and the solid material control group overlaps and corresponds to the top of the discharge hole group, and then controls the first cylinder 52 of the pressing component to work, so that the pressing column 54 is pressed down to complete the material point operation.

[0029] Furthermore, a clamping assembly that can fix the material box 11 to be counted under the material discharge hole group can also be provided on the conveyor belt 1. The clamping assembly includes a retractable clamping block 81 provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 1, and the two clamping blocks are extended or retracted respectively under the drive of the second cylinder 82. The second cylinder 82 can also be connected to the electronic control system in the material counting machine, and the electronic control system can control the operation of the second cylinder 82. For example, after receiving the material counting signal, the second cylinder is driven to extend, so that the two opposite clamping blocks 81 fix the material box 11 to be counted under the solid material hole group for counting.

[0030] When the counting machine of the utility model is working, when the auxiliary material turntable 3 rotates, the material turning component 6 is fixed above the auxiliary material turntable 3 and breaks up the solid auxiliary material in the auxiliary material turntable. The rotation and breaking process can make the solid auxiliary material fall into the solid material hole 31 of the solid material hole group. After passing through the detection component 7, if the detection component detects that it is full and sends out a counting signal, the solid material hole group filled with solid auxiliary material on the auxiliary material turntable 3 stays above the discharge hole group after receiving the counting signal, and then the pressing down hold 54 in the pressing down component 5 moves downward and presses the solid auxiliary material in the solid material hole group down to the material box 11 to be counted on the conveyor belt 1, completing one counting, thereby realizing automatic counting.

[0031] The above embodiments and drawings do not limit the product form and style of the present utility model. Any appropriate changes or modifications made by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field should be deemed to be within the patent scope of the present utility model.
