[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model. Example

[0028] refer to Figure 1-5 The puffing machine for puffed cereal food shown in the figure comprises a machine case 1 and a door 2, the door 2 is hinged on the machine case 1, and a door lock is provided between the door 2 and the machine case 1;

[0029] The box 1 is provided with a puffing chamber 11 for puffing grains and a discharge chamber 12 for collecting the puffed grains, and the puffing chamber 11 and the discharge chamber 12 are connected via a connecting channel 13;

[0030] The puffing chamber 11 is provided with a stirring paddle 8 for stirring the grains. The stirring paddle 8 is rotatably connected to the chassis 1 through a bearing seat. One end of the stirring paddle 8 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 5 through a coupling. When the motor 5 rotates, the stirring paddle 8 can be electrically driven to rotate, thereby moving the raw materials added to the puffing chamber 11 so that the raw materials are heated evenly.

[0031] like Figure 3As shown, a discharging row 7 for discharging the puffed grains is further provided in the connecting channel 13; the discharging row 7 includes a plurality of groups of discharging rods, and the plurality of groups of discharging rods are evenly arranged in the chassis 1 along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 81, and the discharging row 7 is tiltedly arranged in the chassis 1. The function of the discharging row 7 is that when the stirring paddle 8 lifts the popcorn from the puffing chamber 11, the popcorn falls into the collecting frame 6 in the discharging chamber 12 under the guidance of the discharging row 7, thereby realizing the continuous processing and production of popcorn;

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the stirring paddle 8 includes a rotating shaft 81 and a paddle rod 82, and a plurality of paddle rods 82 are arranged on the rotating shaft 81. The paddle rod 82 has the same diameter as the discharging rod, and the paddle rod 82 and the discharging rod are staggered. The distance between adjacent discharging rods is the same as the diameter of the paddle rod 82, and the gap between adjacent paddle rods 82 is the same as the diameter of the discharging rod. The distance between adjacent discharging rods and the gap between adjacent paddle rods 82 are both smaller than the outer diameter of the popcorn.

[0033] The chassis 1 is also provided with a through hole communicating with the discharge chamber 12, a collecting frame 6 for collecting grains is slidably connected in the through hole, and a rubber strip is provided between the chassis 1 and the collecting frame 6 to increase the friction between the two;

[0034] The chassis 1 is also provided with a heating mechanism for heating the expanding chamber 11 and a feeding hopper 4 communicated with the expanding chamber 11. The heating mechanism includes a heating wire 9 and a control unit 3. A heating chamber 14 is provided below the expanding chamber 11, in which the heating wire 9 is installed. The control unit 3 for controlling the start and stop of the heating wire 9 is also provided on the outer wall of the chassis 1. The chassis 1 is also provided with an installation chamber 15, in which a temperature sensor for monitoring the internal temperature of the expanding chamber 11 is installed, and the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the control unit 3.

[0035] The control unit 3 includes a display screen and a controller. The controller uses a 89C51 single chip microcomputer, which belongs to the prior art and will not be described in detail here. The control unit 3 can control the start and stop of the motor 5 and the heating wire 9, and the display screen can display the temperature in the puffing chamber 11 detected by the temperature sensor.

[0036] Working principle of the utility model: when in use, the device is connected to electricity, and the control unit 3 is used to control the electric heating wire 9 to work so as to preheat the puffing chamber 11. The temperature in the puffing chamber 11 can be obtained through the temperature sensor in the installation chamber 15. After reaching the preset temperature, the raw materials are added from the feed hopper 4. The raw materials fall into the puffing chamber 11 under the action of gravity, and the motor 5 is controlled to work to drive the stirring paddle 8 to rotate. There is a gap between adjacent paddle rods 82, and the raw materials can pass through the gap. Therefore, the paddle rod 82 on the stirring paddle 8 can move the raw materials without driving the raw materials. The material rotates in the puffing chamber 11, so that the raw material is heated more evenly; after being heated, the raw material will puff and puff into popcorn with an increased diameter. At this time, the diameter of the popcorn is larger than the gap between adjacent paddle rods 82, and is lifted up by the paddle rods 82. As the stirring paddle 8 rotates, the popcorn is lifted up by the stirring paddle 8 and sent to the discharging row 7. The diameter of the popcorn is larger than the gap between adjacent discharging rods on the discharging row 7. Under the action of the gravity of the popcorn itself, the popcorn rolls along the discharging row 7 and falls into the collecting frame 6, completing the collection of the popcorn. In this cycle, continuous processing of the popcorn can be achieved.

[0037] The electromechanical connection involved in the present utility model is a common means used by those skilled in the art, and technical inspiration can be obtained through a limited number of tests, which belongs to common knowledge.

[0038] Components not described in detail herein are prior art.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
