Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food machinery and equipment, and more specifically, to an automatic powder adding machine and a full-automatic feeding popcorn production line. Background Art

[0002] Popcorn machine is a special machine for making popcorn. Nowadays, in order to make popcorn of various flavors, most large popcorn machines on the market are manually seasoned with sugar, cocoa powder, matcha powder and other seasonings. With the progress and development of society and the shortage of human resources, in the process of production of some large enterprises, traditional manual seasoning is increasingly unable to meet the needs of modern industrial development.

[0003] Although there are automatic powder adding machines on the market, they are limited to adding one material. When customers need popcorn with different recipes and multiple seasonings, multiple seasonings cannot be automatically added as needed, which cannot meet customer needs.

[0004] If we want to produce popcorn on a large scale, we need to change the traditional method to improve work efficiency. We need to improve the method of automatically adding multiple seasonings, so as to improve the work efficiency of the entire popcorn equipment, while improving work efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0016] By adopting the above scheme, the seasoning is spirally transported from the silo to the feed hopper through the setting of the spiral auger. At the same time, the setting of the scattering device prevents the seasoning inside the silo from agglomerating. The setting of the motor drives the spiral auger and the scattering device to rotate.

[0017] As a further optimization of the technical solution, the discharge port of the discharge barrel of the utility model is provided with a blocking cover, and the blocking cover is connected to the second telescopic device for opening or blocking the blocking cover.

[0020] The above solution is adopted, through the provision of the third telescopic device, to overturn the feed hopper so that the seasoning can be poured into the popcorn machine.

[0021] As a further optimization of the technical solution, a breaking up shaft is provided on the breaking up device of the utility model, both ends of the breaking up shaft are supported at the front and rear ends of the silo, and a plurality of breaking up rods are provided on the breaking up shaft.

[0022] By adopting the above scheme, by providing a plurality of breaking rods on the breaking shaft, it is convenient to break up the seasoning that has agglomerated due to long-term accumulation, so as to facilitate further transportation.

[0023] As a further optimization of the technical solution, the utility model is provided with a weighing sensor at the lower part of the feed hopper.

[0024] By adopting the above scheme, the weight of the seasoning can be easily controlled by setting a weighing sensor.

[0025] Another technical solution of the utility model is:

[0026] A fully automatic feeding popcorn production line comprises a popcorn machine, an elevator, a feeder, and an oil and sugar adding tank. The automatic powder feeder is also arranged on one side of the popcorn machine. A powder feeding port is arranged on the popcorn machine. When the first telescopic device pushes out the feeding hopper, the material in the feeding hopper can be poured into the powder feeding port.

[0027] By adopting the above scheme and setting up the automatic powder adding machine, a variety of seasonings can be automatically fed separately, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0028] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0029] The utility model improves the automatic powder adding machine and the full-automatic feeding popcorn production line, has the advantages of reasonable structural design, can provide automatic feeding of multiple seasonings, high working efficiency and reduced labor costs, thereby effectively solving the problems and shortcomings raised in the background technology of the utility model.
