Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of konjac jerky production, in particular to a leveling device for preparing konjac jerky. Background Art

[0002] Konjac Shuang is a snack made from konjac as the main raw material. At present, the main production processes of Konjac Shuang include raw material processing - mixing and stirring - forming pipe shaping - maturation - seasoning - packaging. At present, forming pipe shaping is a common flattening and shaping process for the preparation of Konjac Shuang. Forming pipe shaping is mostly composed of a spiral feeder and a pressure shaping pipe. When the konjac raw material passes through the pipe, it will be restricted and guided by the wall of the pressure shaping pipe, so that it can be shaped according to the predetermined shape. This design helps to eliminate the uneven parts in the raw material and achieve a preliminary flattening effect. Secondly, the flattening function can be further realized by accurately controlling the pressure distribution inside the pipe.

[0003] Because the material needs to be stirred and thickened before being fed into the screw feeder before forming the forming pipe, when a large amount of thickened material is fed into the feed hopper of the screw feeder, the entry rate of the thickened material is slow due to the viscosity of the thickened material itself and the influence of the feed opening of the feed hopper, which will prolong the time for subsequent forming and shaping of the thickened material and slow down the overall efficiency of subsequent forming and shaping.

[0004] Therefore, a konjac jicama preparation leveling device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a flattening device for preparing konjac jerky in order to solve the above problems, thereby improving the problem that the existing flattening device for preparing konjac jerky has difficulty in feeding and affects the subsequent molding and shaping.

[0006] The utility model achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical scheme. A konjac jelly preparation leveling device comprises: a spiral feeder, a discharge end of the spiral feeder is fixedly connected and communicated with a pressure shaping pipe; a feeding device, the feeding device is fixedly connected and communicated with the feeding end of the spiral feeder; the feeding device comprises a feeding hopper, a PLC controller, a material guiding mechanism and a cleaning mechanism, the feeding hopper is fixedly connected and communicated with the feeding end of the spiral feeder, the PLC controller, the material guiding mechanism and the cleaning mechanism are all installed on the surface of the feeding hopper, and one end of the material guiding mechanism penetrates into the interior of the feeding hopper;

[0007] Preferably, the material guiding mechanism comprises a ring sleeve slidably connected to the top of the feed hopper, a scraper in contact with the inner wall of the feed hopper is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring sleeve, a gear ring is fixedly connected to the surface of the ring sleeve, a gear is meshingly connected to the surface of the gear ring, and a servo motor fixedly connected to the feed hopper is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gear. The material guiding mechanism can not only actively guide the thickened material into the screw feeder, reducing the probability of the feed hopper being blocked, and speeding up the feeding rate of the thickened material, thereby improving the overall efficiency of subsequent molding and shaping, but also can scrape the material retained on the inner wall of the feed hopper into the screw feeder, thereby improving the effective utilization of the material.

[0008] Preferably, the number of the scrapers is not less than three, and the scrapers are distributed in a ring shape around the axis of the ring sleeve at the bottom of the ring sleeve, which can increase the frequency of rotary scraping and guiding to improve the practicability of the material guiding mechanism.

[0009] Preferably, the scraper is in a spiral twisted shape, and the lowest point of the scraper is in pressure-free contact with the lower opening of the feed hopper, which can guide the thickened material into the screw feeder, further increasing the feed rate of the thickened material.

[0010] Preferably, a top groove is provided at the bottom of the gear ring, and the cleaning mechanism includes a ring slidably connected to the surface of the feed hopper, the ring is arranged below the gear ring, the top of the ring is fixedly connected with a top block matching the top groove, and the surface of the ring is fixedly connected with an electric push rod. The cleaning mechanism can clean the scraper and the feed hopper at the same time without the staff directly contacting the scraper and the feed hopper, which not only further increases the effective utilization rate of the thickened material, but also reduces the cleaning burden of the staff, making the staff's work easier.

[0011] Preferably, the number of the top blocks and the number of the top grooves are no less than three, and the number of the top blocks and the number of the top grooves are the same, which can increase the vibration frequency to improve the cleaning effect.

[0012] Preferably, the height of the gear ring and the gear are both greater than the height of the top block, the thickness of the gear ring and the gear are the same, and the gear ring is always below the top of the feed hopper, which can ensure that the material guiding mechanism can always operate normally to ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning mechanism on the scraper and the feed hopper.

[0013] Preferably, there are two electric push rods, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the axis of the feed hopper, which can make the lifting of the ring more stable and avoid the probability of the ring getting stuck on the surface of the feed hopper due to tilting.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0015] 1. The material guide mechanism can not only actively guide the thickened material into the screw feeder, reducing the probability of the feed hopper being blocked, speeding up the feeding rate of the thickened material, thereby improving the overall efficiency of subsequent molding, but also can scrape the material retained on the inner wall of the feed hopper into the screw feeder, thereby improving the effective utilization rate of the material;

[0016] 2. The cleaning mechanism can clean the scraper and the feed hopper at the same time without the staff directly contacting the scraper and the feed hopper. This not only further increases the effective utilization rate of the thickened material, but also reduces the cleaning burden of the staff, making the staff's work easier.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] 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.

[0023] When implementing: Figure 1-4As shown, a konjac jelly preparation leveling device comprises: a spiral feeder 1, a discharge end of the spiral feeder 1 is fixedly connected and communicated with a pressure shaping tube 2; a feeding device 3, the feeding device 3 is fixedly connected and communicated with the feeding end of the spiral feeder 1; the feeding device 3 comprises a feeding hopper 31, a PLC controller 32, a material guiding mechanism 33 and a cleaning mechanism 34, the feeding hopper 31 is fixedly connected and communicated with the feeding end of the spiral feeder 1, the PLC controller 32, the material guiding mechanism 33 and the cleaning mechanism 34 are all installed on the surface of the feeding hopper 31, and one end of the material guiding mechanism 33 penetrates into the interior of the feeding hopper 31;

[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the material guiding mechanism 33 includes a ring sleeve 331 slidably connected to the top of the feed hopper 31, a scraper 332 in contact with the inner wall of the feed hopper 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the ring sleeve 331, a gear ring 333 is fixedly connected to the surface of the ring sleeve 331, a gear 334 is meshingly connected to the surface of the gear ring 333, and a servo motor 335 fixedly connected to the feed hopper 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the gear 334; the number of scrapers 332 is not less than three, and the scrapers 332 are distributed in a ring shape around the axis of the ring sleeve 331 at the bottom of the ring sleeve 331; the shape of the scraper 332 is spirally twisted, and the lowest point of the scraper 332 is in pressure-free contact with the lower opening of the feed hopper 31.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, a top groove 336 is provided at the bottom of the gear ring 333, and the cleaning mechanism 34 includes a ring 341 slidably connected to the surface of the feed hopper 31, the ring 341 is arranged below the gear ring 333, and a top block 342 matching the top groove 336 is fixedly connected to the top of the ring 341, and an electric push rod 343 is fixedly connected to the surface of the ring 341; the number of the top blocks 342 and the top grooves 336 is not less than three, and the number of the top blocks 342 and the top grooves 336 are the same; the height of the gear ring 333 and the gear 334 is greater than the height of the top block 342, the thickness of the gear ring 333 and the gear 334 is the same, and the gear ring 333 is always below the top of the feed hopper 31; the number of the electric push rods 343 is two, and the two electric push rods 343 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the axis of the feed hopper 31;

[0026] When the staff needs to clean the residual material on the surface of the scraper 332, the staff can control the electric push rod 343 to extend through the PLC controller 32, the electric push rod 343 drives the ring 341 to rise, and the ring 341 drives the top block 342 to rise until the top block 342 penetrates the inside of the top groove 336 or lifts the ring gear 333. It should be noted that the ring gear 333 needs to be always below the feed hopper 31 and can effectively mesh with the gear 334 to ensure that the material guide mechanism 33 can operate normally as a whole. Then the staff controls the servo motor 335 to operate through the PLC controller 32, and the servo motor 335 drives the ring gear 333 to rotate through the gear 334, and the ring gear 333 drives the top groove 336 to rotate. When the top groove 336 is aligned with the top block 342, the ring gear 333 The top groove 336 is driven to move downward and the top groove 336 is plugged into the top block 342. In the process of the top block 342 moving toward the outside of the top groove 336, the top block 342 pushes the ring gear 333 through the top groove 336. At this time, the ring gear 333 continuously moves up and down while rotating. The ring gear 333 drives the ring sleeve 331 to move up and down, and the ring sleeve 331 drives the scraper 332 to move up and down. At the same time, the ring sleeve 331 continuously hits the feed hopper 31, so that the feed hopper 31 and the scraper 332 continuously vibrate, which can not only shake off the thickened material remaining on the surface of the scraper 332, but also the thickened material remaining on the inner wall of the feed hopper 31 has its adhesion to the feed hopper 31 reduced under the action of vibration, so that the thickened material enters the screw feeder 1 under the action of vibration, further improving the effective utilization rate of the thickened material.

[0027] When the utility model is in use, after the staff puts a large amount of thickened material into the feed hopper 31, the staff first controls the servo motor 335 to run continuously through the PLC controller 32, the servo motor 335 drives the gear 334 to rotate, the gear 334 drives the gear ring 333 to rotate, the gear ring 333 drives the ring sleeve 331 to rotate, and the ring sleeve 331 drives the scraper 332 to rotate and stir the thickened material inside the feed hopper 31. At this time, the thickened material is broken and actively pushed by the scraper 332, which can reduce the adhesion between the thickened materials and between the thickened materials and the feed hopper 31, so that the thickened materials can quickly enter the screw feeder 1, which not only reduces the probability of the feed hopper 31 being blocked, but also allows the materials to enter the screw feeder 1 more fully. At the same time, the scraper 332 can also scrape the materials retained on the inner wall of the feed hopper 31 into the screw feeder 1, thereby improving the effective utilization rate of the materials.

[0028] It should be noted that the screw feeder 1, pressure shaping tube 2, PLC controller 32, servo motor 335 and electric push rod 343 in the above description are all devices with relatively mature application of existing technologies. The specific models can be selected according to actual needs. At the same time, the screw feeder 1, PLC controller 32, servo motor 335 and electric push rod 343 can be powered by a built-in power supply or by AC power. The specific power supply method is selected according to the situation and will not be elaborated here.

[0029] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
