[0002] When processing flour-based foods such as bread products, the mixed dough needs to be divided into small doughs of substantially uniform size, and then the dough is rounded and fermented and baked again.
[0003] During batch production, the factory needs to control the basic size of the finished bread within a certain error range so that the size of the bread produced is basically uniform, which is convenient for subsequent processing needs and meets food inspection requirements. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the dough size evenly divided on the one hand, and make the gaps inside the dough and bread even on the other hand.
[0004] The existing dough divider directly divides the kneaded dough and then rounds it, so that the dough strips are uneven when they are sent to the cutting ring knife, resulting in different sizes of the cut dough.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, a new technical solution needs to be proposed to solve this problem. In particular, a dough dividing machine is provided to divide the dough after filling it. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model aims to solve the technical problem of uneven dough strips fed before segmentation in the existing dough segmentation machine, and provides a dough segmentation machine which can segment the dough after squeezing, filling and shaping the dough.
[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the following technical scheme is provided: a dough divider, comprising an outer shell, a feeding hopper is provided on the outer shell, a horizontal feeding pipe is provided below the feeding hopper, an auger is provided inside the feeding pipe, a tightening tube is connected in front of the feeding pipe, the inner diameter of the tightening tube is smaller than the inner diameter of the feeding pipe, an elbow is connected in front of the tightening tube, a cutting ring is provided below the elbow; the cutting ring is symmetrically arranged below the elbow, a slide groove is provided below the cutting ring, a conveyor belt is provided below the slide groove, and one end of the conveyor belt passes through the outer shell and is connected to the outside.

[0014] Beneficial effects:
[0015] The dough dividing machine provided by the utility model first squeezes the dough mutually to form full dough strips through the contraction tube and the elbow before dividing the dough, and shapes the dough strips sent to the cutting ring knife so that the cut dough is of uniform size.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a dough dividing machine comprises a housing 1, a feeding hopper 2 is arranged at the top of the housing 1, a horizontal feeding pipe 5 is arranged below the feeding hopper 2, an auger 4 is arranged inside the feeding pipe 5, and one end of the auger is connected to the first motor by transmission. The auger is driven to rotate by the first transmission motor so that the dough added in the feeding hopper is transmitted to the front of the feeding pipe along the auger. A tightening tube 51 is connected to the front of the feeding pipe 5, the inner diameter of the tightening tube 51 is smaller than the inner diameter of the feeding pipe 5, the auger extends to the connection between the feeding pipe and the tightening tube, the inner diameter of the tightening tube is smaller than the inner diameter of the feeding pipe, so that the dough in the feeding pipe is collected again in the tightening tube, and the dough is initially shaped by the tightening tube. The feeding pipe and the tightening tube can be arranged in an integrated manner or in a split manner. An elbow 52 is connected to the front of the tightening tube 51, and the elbow is threadedly connected to the tightening tube. The threaded connection is convenient for timely disassembly when needed, and is convenient for cleaning and maintenance. The inner diameter of the elbow is smaller than the inner diameter of the tightening tube, so that the dough strip passing through the elbow is further shaped, and at the same time, obvious air bubbles formed in the dough strip during the transmission process are eliminated. A cutting ring 6 is provided below the elbow 52, and the cutting ring 6 is symmetrically arranged below the elbow 52. A chute 7 is provided below the cutting ring 6, and a conveyor belt 8 is provided below the chute 7. One end of the conveyor belt 8 passes through the shell 1 and is connected to the outside. The conveyor belt 8 is connected to the outside through the discharge port 12. In order to facilitate maintenance, a door panel 11 is provided on the front of the shell 1. By opening the door panel, the internal equipment can be cleaned, replaced and repaired.
[0028] When the dough strip is squeezed out of the elbow, the cutting ring cuts the dough strip into individual doughs, which fall onto the chute, roll along the chute onto the conveyor belt again, and are transmitted outward.
[0029] like Figure 2As shown, the cutting ring 6 is provided with four arc-shaped cutting surfaces on its periphery, and a sharp-angle cutting point is formed between the cutting surfaces. The cutting ring 6 is arranged to rotate toward each other. The cutting rings are located on both sides below the elbow outlet. When the cutting rings rotate relative to each other, the arc-shaped cutting surfaces on the surfaces of the two cutting rings enclose an arc-shaped groove to initially squeeze the dough into an arc shape, which facilitates the smooth rolling and sliding transmission of the dough on the chute after subsequent cutting, and also provides a preliminary arc shape for the rolling on the chute. The cutting points cut the dough strips into individual doughs.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 is also provided with an auxiliary material hopper 9, an auxiliary material pipe 92 is provided below the auxiliary material hopper 9, and a control valve 91 is provided below the auxiliary material hopper 9. The control valve 91 controls the size of the opening below the auxiliary material hopper 9 that is connected to the auxiliary material pipe 92, and the other end of the auxiliary material pipe 92 is located above the chute 7. The auxiliary material hopper is used to add dry flour, and the dry flour falls along the auxiliary material hopper and the auxiliary material pipe to the chute. When a single dough rolls on the chute, the surface can be adhered to the dry flour, thereby reducing the adhesion of a single dough to the chute, and does not reduce the mutual adhesion between doughs. The control valve adjusts the speed of adding dry flour according to the working efficiency of the divider and the surface condition of the conveyed dough.
[0031] The chute 7 is in an arc shape and is inclined at 30-40 degrees. The lowest point of the chute 7 is located above the conveyor belt 8. The chute 7 is 10-15 cm long and is located 0.2-0.5 cm above the conveyor belt (8). The chute inclination is preferably 35 degrees, so that the divided dough can roll on the chute at an appropriate speed to increase the rounding effect. The upper end of the chute is basically flush with the surface of the conveyor belt, and is relatively smoothly transferred to the conveyor belt during transmission.
[0032] The divider provided by the utility model shapes the dough before dividing, so that on the one hand, the dough can be divided into fairly uniform sizes during the later division, so that the size of the baked finished product is uniform, and on the other hand, the obvious bubbles generated in the dough during the auger transmission process are eliminated during the extrusion and shaping of the leavened dough, so that there is no obvious gap inside the baked finished product, and the product quality is improved. At the same time, the divided dough is rounded to form a smooth skin on the dough surface, and the transmitted dough can be directly left to stand for secondary fermentation.
[0033] The above implementation modes are only used to illustrate the present invention, but not to limit the present invention. Ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also belong to the scope of the present invention. The scope of patent protection of the present invention should be limited by the claims.
