DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to facilitate the expression of various parts and components, the present invention will use words such as "left", "right", "front", "back", "upper" and "lower" to indicate positional relationships; the present invention may also contain descriptions with serial numbers such as "first" and "second", which are generally only used to distinguish the objects of description and do not involve any difference in importance or order of arrangement.

[0030] The utility model provides a device for covering the surface of food, which is used to apply liquid food slurry to various types of Western-style baked buns, making the food more interesting and tasty. The implementation scheme may include:

[0031] Embodiment 1: A device for coating the surface of food, including but not limited to a frame 10, the frame 10 is used to provide an installation base, and has a carrying platform 11 for food to be transported from one end to the other end, the middle part of the carrying platform 11 is a station for applying food slurry to the surface of the food blank 60, and a coating material applying module 20 is provided on the outer side of the frame 10 above the station, specifically, the coating material applying module 20 is detachably mounted on the frame 10 through its own hanger 22. The coating material applying module 20 includes an outer cylinder 23 and a rotating cylinder 25, and a mechanism for adjusting the flow rate and shape of the food slurry is formed between the outer cylinder 23 and the rotating cylinder 25. For example, targeted application can be performed according to the size and specifications of the Western-style baked goods, so that a coating is formed on the upper surface, and the liquid food slurry can be egg juice or other mixed viscous slurries such as sugars, oils, proteins, and edible flavors. Of course, it needs to be made clear that the Western-style baked food after the coating is applied by the utility model is only a semi-finished product 61, and it is made into a final product after baking.

[0032] The key to applying liquid food slurry is to control the on and off of the slurry. In this solution, the outer cylinder 23 has an upper opening 231 opened on the upper side and a material application port 24 opened on the lower side; the rotating cylinder 25 includes an axis mounting hole 251, and is provided with a temporary storage chamber 250 corresponding to the upper opening 231, and a semicircular material drop channel 252 is opened below the temporary storage chamber 250, and the lower end of the semicircular material drop channel 252 corresponds to the material application port 24; the semicircular material drop channel 252 has a first position connected to the material application port 24, and the semicircular material drop channel 252 has a second position corresponding to the material application port 24. A detachable partition 240 is installed below the material application port 24, and the partition 240 is provided with a slit 241, and the slit 241 is provided for the food slurry to be flat after being squeezed out. In this way, the output liquid food slurry can be made into a covering, and laid on the upper surface of the food blank 60 at the first time. It should be noted that the semicircular blanking channel 252 cooperates with the partition 240, and by controlling the opening and closing time, a circular or elliptical covering can be squeezed out.

[0033] Based on Example 1, an improved Example 2 is proposed: the carrying platform 11 is provided with a conveyor belt mechanism 12 for conveying the food blank 60, which has a loading end 13 and a discharging end 14; the carrying platform 11 is located at the work station, and is padded with a lifting movable plate 30, and the lifting movable plate 30 is used to lift the food blank 60 to the material application port 24 when the food blank 60 is delivered to the work station. In this way, for Western-style baked intermediates of different sizes or heights, there can be a more suitable distance for them to approach the material application port 24.

[0034] Based on Example 1, an improved Example 3 is proposed: a food surface coating device further includes a material preparation bin 50, the material preparation bin 50 is used for feeding food slurry, and an auger mechanism is installed inside the material preparation bin 50, the auger mechanism is used to stir the food slurry, so that the slurry can be effectively stirred evenly and transported to the coating material application module 20 through a pipeline.

[0035] In other details, a transport drive motor 15 and a reduction transmission assembly are installed below the carrier platform 11, and the reduction transmission assembly transmits power to the conveyor belt mechanism 12. A feeding drive motor 21 is installed on the frame 10, and a shaft mounting hole 251 with a keyway is provided in the center of the rotating drum 25. The power of the feeding drive motor 21 is transmitted to the rotating drum 25 through a transmission shaft 26, so that the rotating drum 25 can be adjusted and switched between the first position and the second position.

[0036] The utility model can use open-loop control or closed-loop control. As a preferred embodiment, the frame 10 can also be provided with a control module 40, which is used to output adjustment action instructions and store processing data. The control module 40 is electrically connected to the drive motor of the auger mechanism, the transport drive motor 15, and the feed drive motor 21.
