DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Taking scallion biscuits as an example, the current production method is basically to add scallion whites and greens into the biscuit body, the scallion flavor is relatively light, and the visibility of the added ingredients is poor.

[0026] According to the inventor's research, in order to make the scallion biscuits more flavorful and the additives more visible, the scallion whites can be added to the biscuit body and the scallion greens can be sprinkled on the surface of the biscuit body. This not only makes the scallion biscuits more flavorful, but also makes the additives more visible and the product more beautiful.

[0027] However, if you want to sprinkle green onions on the surface of the cake, you need to sprinkle green onion tubes (small pieces of green onions) on the surface of the dough strip between the last calendering process and the second to last calendering process.

[0028] Since the green onion tubes are low-density wet materials, they cannot be spread using existing spreading equipment that spreads high-density additives such as salt or sesame on the surface of the dough strips. Therefore, it is usually necessary to manually spread the green onion tubes on the surface of the dough strips. However, the manual spreading of the green onion tubes has low spreading efficiency and uneven spreading.

[0029] In view of this problem, the utility model provides a spreading device, which is arranged between the last calendering process and the penultimate calendering process of the dough strip. The spreading device can realize automatic spreading. Compared with manual spreading, the spreading efficiency can be improved, and the spreading is more uniform, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0031] The present invention provides a material spreading device, which comprises:

[0032] A material storage component, used for storing lightweight additives;

[0033] And a material distribution component is used for automatically spreading the light additive stored in the material storage component onto the dough belt.

[0034] The light additive refers to low-density wet materials (such as green onion tubes, etc.) or irregular dry materials (such as seaweed flakes, coconut flakes, coconut shreds, pork floss shreds, etc.). The density of the light additive is less than 0.7g / cm 3 .

[0035] By adopting the above-mentioned spreading equipment, it is possible to automatically spread the lightweight additive on the surface of the dough strip, thereby improving the spreading efficiency and thus improving the production efficiency.

[0036] In a specific implementation, the material storage component and the material distribution component can have a variety of structures, which are not limited here.

[0037] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the material spreading equipment in one embodiment of the utility model. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Side view of the medium spreading equipment.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the material spreading equipment includes: a material storage component 10 and a material distribution component 20.

[0039] In a specific implementation, the material storage component 10 is used to store light additives, such as green onion tubes, seaweed flakes, coconut flakes, coconut shreds or pork floss shreds, etc. The cloth component 20 automatically sprinkles the light additives stored in the material storage component 10 onto the dough belt 30 .

[0040] In a specific implementation, the material storage component 10 may include a material storage trough 101, and the material storage trough 101 may include a trough wall and a discharge port surrounded by the trough wall, and the stored lightweight additive is transferred to the fabric component 20 through the discharge port; the edge of the discharge port is in contact with the surface of the fabric component 20.

[0041] Specifically, the multiple slot walls of the storage tank 101 are connected in sequence to form a storage cavity. One end of the storage cavity is a feed port formed by the first edges of each slot wall, and the other end is a discharge port formed by the second edges of each slot wall, and the first edge is opposite to the second edge. The light additive can be stored in the storage cavity through the feed port.

[0042] In a specific implementation, the discharge port can be arranged in a variety of ways, which are not limited here.

[0043] In one embodiment, the size of the discharge port may be fixed, that is, the size of the discharge port is preset according to the characteristics of the lightweight additive and the distribution requirements on the dough strip. In this case, the size of the discharge port is not adjustable.

[0044] In one embodiment, the size of the discharge port can be adjusted to meet more material spreading requirements, including more characteristic lightweight additives and more distribution requirements on the dough band. At this time, the size of the discharge port is adjustable.

[0045] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The material storage component 10 may further include: an opening adjustment structure 102, located on the slot wall of the material storage slot 101, and the gap between the opening adjustment structure 102 and the material cloth component 20 is adjustable.

[0046] Specifically, the first end of the opening adjustment structure 102 can be connected to the slot wall of the material storage slot 101, and the second end and other slot walls of the material storage slot 101 form a discharge port.

[0047] In a specific implementation, the first end of the opening adjustment structure 102 can be connected to the slot wall of the storage slot 101, and the opening adjustment structure 102 can move along the extension direction of the slot wall of the storage slot 101, thereby changing the gap between the edge of the opening adjustment structure 102 close to one end of the cloth component 20 and the cloth component 20, thereby adjusting the addition amount of the lightweight additive.

[0048] In one embodiment, the opening adjustment structure 102 may include: a scraper and a scraper connector. The scraper is arranged to fit the wall of the storage tank 101, and can move along the extension direction of the wall of the storage tank 101 through the scraper connector. The edge of the scraper close to the end of the material distribution component 20 is thinner, and the thickness of the scraper gradually increases from the discharge port to the feed port, thereby ensuring the reliability of the scraper connection and not affecting the stability of the amount of the light additive added.

[0049] Specifically, a track can be set on the wall of the storage trough 101, and the scraper connecting member can slide along the track, thereby driving the scraper to move along the extension direction of the wall of the storage trough 101, so that the gap size between the scraper and the cloth assembly 20 will change.

[0050] In one embodiment, in order to improve the material spreading efficiency, the opening adjustment structure 102 may further include: a scraper driving member connected to the scraper connecting member, and used to drive the scraper connecting member to move along the extension direction of the trough wall of the material storage trough 101.

[0051] Specifically, the scraper driving member can be set as a motor, and the motor shaft of the motor can be connected to the scraper connecting member, thereby driving the scraper connecting member to move, and finally driving the scraper to move along the extension direction of the trough wall of the storage trough 101, thereby adjusting the gap size between the scraper and the cloth assembly 20.

[0052] In a specific implementation, the material spreading device may further include a controller, which is connected to the scraper driving member and sends a control signal to the scraper driving member to control the movement path of the scraper to adjust the gap between the scraper and the material distribution component 20. Specifically, the controller may have a control panel, and the gap between the scraper and the material distribution component 20 may be adjusted by pressing "+" or "-" on the control panel, thereby adjusting the amount of the light additive.

[0053] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cloth component 20 may include: a transmission structure 201 and a cloth structure 202; wherein the transmission structure 201 is located below the material storage component 10, and is used to transport the lightweight additive output by the material storage component 10; the cloth structure 202 is located at the rear end of the transmission structure 201, and is used to scatter the lightweight additive transported by the transmission structure 201 onto the dough belt 30.

[0054] In a specific implementation, the transmission structure 201 may include a transmission belt, and the upper surface of the transmission belt may fit with the edge of the discharge port.

[0055] In a specific implementation, the transmission structure 201 may further include a transmission assembly. Specifically, the transmission assembly may drive the conveyor belt to move below the material storage tank 101 along the transmission direction of the dough belt 30, so that when the conveyor belt passes through the material storage tank 101, the light additive stored in the material storage tank 101 may be transferred from the discharge port to the conveyor belt for transmission under the action of gravity.

[0056] In a specific implementation, the length of the conveyor belt can be set according to the size of the discharge port and the position of the cloth structure 202 , so that the conveyor belt can transport the lightweight additive output from the discharge port and transfer all of it to the cloth structure 202 .

[0057] In a specific implementation, the cloth structure 202 is located at the rear end of the transmission structure 201, specifically, at the rear end of the conveyor belt. In this way, the lightweight additives transported on the conveyor belt will fall onto the cloth structure 202, thereby achieving the transfer of the lightweight additives.

[0058] In a specific implementation, the material distribution structure 202 may only include a slope distributor 2021, which spans the dough belt 30 and has a certain inclination angle relative to the dough belt 30. When the light additive on the conveyor belt falls on the slope distributor 2021, since the slope distributor 2021 is inclined, the light additive can slide from the inclined surface of the slope distributor 2021 to the dough belt 30 below, thereby spreading the material on the dough belt 30.

[0059] In a specific implementation, the inclination angle of the slope distributor 2021 relative to the dough belt 30 can be fixed.

[0060] In one embodiment, the inclination angle of the slope distributor 2021 relative to the dough belt 30 is adjustable.

[0061] Specifically, the slope feeder 2021 may include: a slope angle adjustment unit 2021a and a feed unit 2021b, wherein the slope angle adjustment unit 2021a is used to support the feed unit 2021b to adjust the inclination angle of the feed unit 2021b relative to the dough belt 30; the feed unit 2021b spans the dough belt 30 and is used to transfer the received lightweight additive to the dough belt 30.

[0062] In a specific implementation, the material distribution unit 2021b has a material distribution plate, and the material distribution plate has a material distribution surface, and the material distribution surface can be connected with the conveyor belt, so as to receive the light additive material dropped from the conveyor belt. For example, the end of the material distribution plate can be adjusted so that the material distribution surface is partially located below the conveyor belt, and the gap between the material distribution surface and the conveyor belt can be made small enough so as not to affect the operation of the conveyor belt.

[0063] In a specific implementation, the slope angle adjustment unit 2021a can provide sufficient support force for the fabric plate. The slope angle adjustment unit 2021a can include a slope support plate a1 and an angle adjustment module a2 connected to the slope support plate, the slope support plate a1 is connected to the fabric plate, and the angle adjustment module a2 can be connected to the slope support plate a1. The angle adjustment module a2 can be used to adjust the inclination angle of the slope support plate a1 relative to the face belt 30. The slope support plate a1 can be arranged in parallel with the fabric plate and move synchronously with the fabric plate.

[0064] In a specific implementation, the material distribution plate can be directly arranged on the surface of the slope support plate a1.

[0065] In some embodiments, the cloth plate and the slope support plate a1 can be connected by an elastic member. For example, a plurality of springs a3 can be arranged on the slope support plate a1. The springs a3 are evenly distributed around the slope support plate a1. One end of the spring a3 is connected to the slope support plate a1, and the other end is connected to the cloth plate. Thus, with the help of the springs a3, the slope support plate a1 can provide elastic support for the cloth plate.

[0066] In a specific implementation, the angle adjustment module a2 can be manually adjusted to adjust the inclination angle of the slope support plate a1.

[0067] In one embodiment, in order to improve the material spreading efficiency, the angle adjustment module a2 can be connected to a controller, and the controller can receive angle adjustment information input on a control panel, and control the angle adjustment module a2 based on the information, so that the slope support plate a1 is adjusted to a corresponding inclination angle.

[0068] In a specific implementation, there may be two angle adjustment modules a2 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the slope support plate a1 , and the angle of the slope support plate a1 is adjusted synchronously by both sides.

[0069] The inventors have found that when the lightweight additive slides from the slope distributor 2021 to the dough belt 30 relying solely on its own gravity, the lightweight additive often stagnates on the surface of the slope distributor 2021 due to its low density and cannot slide smoothly, thereby affecting the uniformity of the spreading.

[0070] To address this problem, in one embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the spreading effect of the lightweight additive, the material distribution structure 202 may further include an oscillator 2022, which is connected to the slope distributor 2021 and is used to drive the slope distributor 2021 to vibrate. With the elastic support of the spring a3, the slope distributor 2021 vibrates more fully. The oscillator 2022 vibrates in a direction perpendicular to the material distribution surface, so that the lightweight additive on the material distribution surface can slide down more quickly.

[0071] In a specific implementation, the oscillator 2022 can be located below the ramp distributor 2021. Specifically, the oscillator 2022 can be located on the ramp support plate a1, and the other end is connected to the distribution plate. The oscillator 2022 can have a fixed oscillation frequency and amplitude. When the switch of the oscillator 2022 is turned on, the oscillator 2022 can drive the distribution plate to vibrate according to the fixed oscillation frequency and amplitude.

[0072] In some embodiments, the oscillator 2022 may also be connected to a controller, and the controller controls the oscillation frequency and amplitude and drives the oscillator. The controller may adjust at least one of the oscillation frequency and amplitude according to the characteristics of the light additive and the distribution requirements on the dough strip, so that the vibration of the oscillator 2022 matches the current material spreading requirements. For example, when the density of the light additive is high, the oscillation frequency may be increased. When the density of the light additive is low, the amplitude may be increased.

[0073] In a specific implementation, the number of the oscillators 2022 can be set according to actual needs.

[0074] In one embodiment, the number of the oscillator 2022 may be only one, and the only oscillator 2022 may be disposed on the central area of ​​the slope support plate a1 and in contact with the distribution plate.

[0075] In one embodiment, the number of oscillators 2022 can be set to two, and the two oscillators 2022 are located on the slope support plate a1 and in contact with the material distribution plate. Furthermore, they are symmetrically distributed relative to the central area of ​​the slope support plate a1, so that each position of the material distribution plate can vibrate uniformly, which can not only improve the vibration efficiency but also improve the uniformity of material spreading.

[0076] In a specific implementation, the material spreading device may further include: a base, and the material storage component 10 and the material distribution component 20 are both fixed on the base.

[0077] Specifically, the material storage trough 101 can span across the base and be fixed to the two side walls of the base through corresponding connectors. The transmission structure 201 can span across the base and be fixed to the two side walls of the base through corresponding connectors. The angle adjustment module a2 can be fixed on the base and support the cloth plate. The cloth plate spans the dough belt 30. The width of the conveyor belt and the cloth plate can be set according to the width of the dough belt. Normally, the width of the conveyor belt and the cloth plate is approximately 95% of the width of the dough belt 30.

[0078] In a specific implementation, the gap between the end of the scraper close to the discharge port and the conveyor belt is in the range of (0, 50 mm], which can be adjusted according to the amount of light additive added. The angle between the cloth plate and the dough belt 30 is in the range of [30°, 60°], which can be adjusted according to the characteristics and density of the light additive.

[0079] In a specific implementation, the controller is connected to the transmission structure 201 and the fabric structure 202, thereby controlling not only the transmission speed of the transmission structure 201 but also the oscillation frequency and amplitude of the fabric structure 202. The controller can also be connected to the opening adjustment structure 102 to adjust the gap between the opening adjustment structure 102 and the transmission structure 201.

[0080] Specifically, the controller can receive external input information and control the spreading equipment according to the external input information. For example, the transmission speed of the transmission structure 201, the oscillation frequency and amplitude of the oscillator 2022, the gap between the scraper and the transmission structure 201, etc. can be adjusted.

[0081] Taking the production process of biscuits as an example, biscuit production generally requires 3 to 4 calendering processes. Between the last calendering process and the second to last calendering process, the spreading device in the embodiment of the utility model can be used to spread green onion tubes on the dough. Specifically, the green onion tubes can be placed in the storage tank 101. A scraper is provided on one side of the storage tank 101. The gap between the scraper and the conveyor belt and the speed of the conveyor belt can be adjusted to adjust the appropriate amount of green onion tubes added.

[0082] In actual application, the green onion tubes first fall onto the conveyor belt of the transmission structure 201, and the conveyor belt transports the green onion tubes to the slope distributor 2021. Oscillators 2022 are provided at both ends of the slope distributor 2021. The oscillator 2022 vibrates so that the slope distributor 2021 evenly spreads the green onion tubes on the dough belt 30.

[0083] It should be noted that the green onion tube in the embodiment of the utility model refers to the green onion segment formed after fresh onions are picked, washed, the white part is cut off, the green onion is cut into small segments, dried, and aired, and the length is between 3mm and 6mm.

[0084] It should be noted that the light additives in the embodiments of the present invention include, but are not limited to, green onion tubes, and may also be seaweed flakes, coconut flakes, coconut shreds or pork floss shreds, etc.

[0085] It can be seen from the above content that the material spreading equipment in the embodiment of the utility model can be used to automatically spread material on the dough belt, thereby improving the material spreading efficiency, and the material spreading is more uniform, ultimately improving production efficiency.

[0086] Although the utility model is disclosed as above, the utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
