[0035] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0036] Embodiment 1:

[0037] The present application embodiment discloses an extrusion device. Figure 1 The extrusion device is installed on the production line. The frame 9 of the production line is provided with a conveyor belt 2 for placing and conveying food. The frame 9 is provided with guardrails 8 on opposite sides of the conveyor belt 2. The upper surface of the guardrails 8 exceeds the upper surface of the conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 carries food and passes through the extrusion device after being steamed in the steaming station to remove bubbles generated on the surface of the food. The extrusion device includes a mounting frame 1 and an extrusion member. The mounting frame 1 is mounted on the guardrails 8, and the extrusion member is mounted on the mounting frame 1.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Specifically, the mounting frame 1 includes two mounting plates 101, both of which are plate-shaped structures. The two mounting plates 101 can be detachably mounted on the sides of the guardrails 8 on both sides of the conveyor belt 2 that are away from each other, and the plate surfaces of the two mounting plates 101 are opposite and vertical surfaces, and the tops of the two mounting plates 101 both extend upward beyond the top of the guardrail 8.

[0039] There are two parallel conveying rollers 3 rotating between the two mounting plates 101. The two conveying rollers 3 are distributed along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2. The axes of the conveying rollers 3 are perpendicular to the plate surface of the mounting plate 101. The two ends of the conveying rollers 3 that are far away from each other extend out of the two sides of the mounting plates 101 that are away from each other. The heights of the two conveying rollers 3 are different. The height of the conveying roller 3 on one side along the forward direction of the conveyor belt 2 is higher than that of the other conveying roller 3. A driving motor (not shown in the figure) for driving the lower conveying roller 3 to rotate is installed on the mounting plate 101.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The extrusion member includes an extrusion belt 4, which is sleeved on two conveyor rollers 3 at the same time, and the extrusion belt 4 is located above the conveyor belt 2 and opposite to the conveyor belt 2. A gear 10 is sleeved on the portion of the conveyor roller 3 located between the two mounting plates 101, and both sides of the extrusion belt 4 have a toothed chain 11 meshing with the gear 10 on the conveyor roller 3. When the conveyor roller 3 rotates, the extrusion belt 4 is driven to be conveyed through the cooperation of the gear 10 and the toothed chain 11, and the conveying direction of the extrusion belt 4 is that the side of the extrusion belt 4 close to the conveyor belt 2 is conveyed from the lower conveyor roller 3 to the higher conveyor roller 3.

[0041] The extrusion belt 4 is affected by the height of the two conveying rollers 3 and gradually tilts upward along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, so that the distance between the side of the extrusion belt 4 close to the conveyor belt 2 and the conveyor belt 2 gradually increases along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2, and a conveying channel is formed between the extrusion belt 4 and the conveyor belt 2, and the conveying channel is for the food on the conveyor belt 2 to pass through.

[0042] When the food just enters the conveying channel, it is subjected to a strong squeezing effect to more effectively remove bubbles. As the food continues to be conveyed along the conveyor belt 2, the distance between the squeezing belt 4 and the conveyor belt 2 gradually increases, thereby gradually reducing the squeezing force on the food to avoid damage to the food caused by excessive squeezing.

[0043] Reference Figure 3 The material of the extrusion belt 4 can be cloth, plate chain or mesh. In this embodiment, the extrusion belt 4 is preferably mesh. When the mesh extrusion belt 4 extrudes food, the bubbles of the food can escape from the mesh holes of the extrusion belt 4 to improve the efficiency of removing bubbles from the food.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Furthermore, the extrusion device also includes a tensioning mechanism 5 for tensioning the extrusion belt 4, and the tensioning mechanism 5 has two groups, and the two groups of tensioning mechanisms 5 are respectively connected to the two ends of the higher conveying roller 3. The mounting frame 1 also includes a mounting seat 120 for tensioning, and the mounting seat 120 has two, and the two mounting seats 120 are respectively fixedly mounted on the mutually opposite sides of the two mounting plates 101, and the two groups of tensioning mechanisms 5 correspond to the two mounting seats 120 respectively.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 Specifically, each set of tensioning mechanism 5 includes a rotating seat 51, an adjusting rod 52 and a locking head 53. The rotating seat 51 rotates coaxially and is sleeved on the end of the conveying roller 3 passing through the mounting plate 101. The mounting plate 101 is provided with an adjusting hole 12 for the conveying roller 3 to move in the horizontal direction. The adjusting rod 52 is in the shape of a screw, one end of which is fixed on the rotating seat 51, and the other end of the adjusting rod 52 slides through the corresponding mounting seat 120. The locking head 53 is threadedly sleeved on one end of the adjusting rod 52 passing through the mounting seat 120, and the locking head 53 is simultaneously abutted against the side of the mounting seat 120 away from the rotating seat 51, and the higher conveying roller 3 is located between the mounting seat 120 and the lower conveying roller 3.

[0046] When the adjusting rod 52 moves away from the lower conveying roller 3 , the extrusion belt 4 is tightened, and the adjusting rod 52 is restricted from moving toward the lower conveying roller 3 by the abutment between the locking head 53 and the mounting seat 120 .

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3Furthermore, in order to make the distance between the extrusion belt 4 and the conveyor belt 2 adapt to the thickness of the food, the mounting plate 101 moves up and down on the guardrail 8, and the guardrail 8 has a locking piece 6 for locking the mounting plate 101. The distance between the extrusion belt 4 and the conveyor belt 2 can be adjusted by adjusting the height of the mounting plate 101.

[0048] Specifically, each mounting plate 101 is provided with an array of guide holes 7, each of which passes through two opposite sides of the mounting plate 101 and extends vertically. In this embodiment, the locking member 6 is a locking bolt 61, and the locking bolt 61 corresponds to the guide hole 7 one by one. The rod of the locking bolt 61 passes through the corresponding guide hole 7 and is threadedly connected to the guardrail 8.

[0049] When the head of the locking bolt 61 is pressed against the side of the mounting plate 101 away from the guardrail 8, the mounting plate 101 is clamped between the head of the locking bolt 61 and the guardrail 8, and is locked relative to the guardrail 8 by the friction between the mounting plate 101 and the head of the locking bolt 61. When the height of the mounting plate 101 needs to be adjusted, the locking bolt 61 can be loosened to allow the mounting plate 101 to move up and down freely; when the mounting plate 101 is moved to a suitable position, the locking bolt 61 is tightened again.

[0050] The implementation principle of the extrusion device of the present application embodiment is: according to the thickness of the food, the height of the mounting plate 101 relative to the guardrail 8 is adjusted so that the conveying channel can adapt to the thickness of the food. The food passes through the yield channel and is squeezed by the extrusion belt 4 to eliminate the bubbles on the surface of the food.

[0051] Embodiment 2:

[0052] The difference between the embodiment of the present application and the embodiment 1 lies in the difference of the locking member 6. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The locking member 6 in the embodiment of the present application includes a connecting rod 62, a rack 63, a limit seat 64 and a stop head 65. In the embodiment of the present application, the mounting plate 101 is also provided with an array of vertically extending guide holes 7, and the locking member 6 corresponds to the guide holes 7.

[0053] The racks 63 are all fixed on the side of the mounting plate 101 facing away from the guardrail 8 , the teeth of the racks 63 are all distributed in the vertical direction, and a clearance hole communicating with and overlapping the guide hole 7 is opened on the racks 63 .

[0054] The connecting rod 62 is in the shape of a stud and corresponds to the guide hole 7. One end of the connecting rod 62 is fixed on the guardrail 8, and the other end of the connecting rod 62 passes through the corresponding guide hole 7 and passes through the mounting plate 101. When the mounting plate 101 moves up and down, it is guided by the connecting rod 62, and the axial direction of the connecting rod 62 is perpendicular to the plate surface of the mounting plate 101.

[0055] The stopper 64 is in a square shape, and one side of the stopper 64 has a tooth surface for meshing with the rack 63, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the stopper 64 for the connecting rod 62 to pass through. The stopper 65 is used to be threadedly sleeved on the connecting rod 62, and the stopper 64 is located between the mounting plate 101 and the stopper 65.

[0056] When the height of the mounting plate 101 needs to be adjusted, the stopper 65 is rotated to move the limit seat 64 away from the mounting plate 101 until it is separated from the rack 63, that is, the mounting plate 101 can be moved up and down relative to the connecting rod 62. When the mounting plate 101 needs to be locked, the limit seat 64 is moved toward the mounting plate 101 until it is meshed with the rack 63, and then the stopper 65 is screwed in until it is pressed against the side of the limit seat 64 away from the rack 63 to limit the movement of the limit seat 64, so that the mounting plate 101 and the guardrail 8 are relatively locked.

[0057] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
