Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a noodle machine. Background Art

[0002] Conventional noodle machines usually have a mixing cup and an extrusion cup. Flour, water, and other possible added ingredients enter the mixing cup through the feeding port. After being stirred and kneaded by the stirring paddle, a uniform dough is formed. Subsequently, this preliminarily formed dough enters the extrusion cup through the discharge port of the mixing cup. Here, the spiral noodle extrusion rod extrudes the dough into slender noodles with its unique structure.

[0003] Among them, a feeding port and a discharge port are often provided on the mixing cup, and a discharge port baffle for controlling the opening and closing of the discharge port needs to be configured. The main function of the discharge port baffle is to control the flow of the dough, ensure that the dough does not enter the extrusion cup in advance during the mixing stage, and at the same time be smoothly pushed to the next stage after the dough is ready.

[0004] In the traditional design, the discharge port baffle is mostly directly fixed to the main body structure of the noodle machine. Although such a layout is stable, it also brings the disadvantages of being difficult to disassemble and clean. After long-term use, especially when dealing with wet or sticky ingredients, food residues are likely to accumulate in the gaps and corners of the baffle and are difficult to completely remove by simple wiping or rinsing. Over time, these residues are extremely likely to breed bacteria and molds in a warm and humid environment.

[0037] For better understanding and implementation, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0039] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which the present invention belongs. The terms used in the description of the present invention herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0040] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the present invention discloses a noodle machine, which includes an installation shell 1, a stirring assembly 2 and a driving assembly 3. Specifically, the installation shell 1 is provided with an installation cavity 10, and the installation cavity 10 is provided with a first limiting part 11 and a second limiting part 12. The stirring assembly 2 includes a stirring barrel 20, and the stirring barrel 20 is rotatably installed in the installation cavity 10; wherein, the stirring barrel 20 has a power connection end, and the stirring barrel 20 is provided with a feeding port 23 and a third limiting part 22. Refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the feeding port 23 has a first position and a second position when the stirring barrel 20 rotates; the third limiting part 22 is used to abut against the first limiting part 11 or the second limiting part 12 when the stirring barrel 20 rotates, so that the feeding port 23 is located at the first position or the second position.

[0041] Refer toFigure 2 The driving assembly 3 includes a driving member 30 and a driving shaft 35, and the driving member 30 is used to drive the driving shaft 35 to rotate. Among them, an elastic connecting member 31 is provided on the driving shaft 35, and the elastic connecting member 31 is connected to the power connection end, so that the driving shaft 35 drives the mixing barrel 20 to rotate.

[0042] On the basis of this structure, when using the noodle machine of the present utility model, first, the driving shaft 35 drives the mixing barrel 20 to rotate in the installation cavity 10 until the feeding port 23 is located at the first position. At this time, ingredients such as flour and water can be put into the mixing barrel 20 through the feeding port 23, and in this position state, the mixing paddle 24 of the mixing assembly 2 rotates to mix and stir the flour, water and other materials in the mixing barrel 20 into dough. After the dough mixing is completed, the driving shaft 35 drives the mixing barrel 20 to rotate in the installation cavity 10 until the feeding port 23 is located at the second position. At this time, the dough in the mixing barrel 20 can be sent out through the feeding port 23 into the noodle extrusion cavity 14 for further processing.

[0043] Among them, taking a horizontal noodle machine as an example for illustration, refer to Figure 7 , when the feeding port 23 is in the first position, the opening faces upward. At this position, ingredients such as flour and water can be put into the mixing barrel 20 and stirred. Refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 , when the feeding port 23 is in the second position, the opening faces downward, and the noodle extrusion cavity 14 is located below the mixing barrel 20. When the opening of the feeding port 23 faces downward, the dough in the mixing barrel 20 can fall into the noodle extrusion cavity 14 through the feeding port 23.

[0044] Thus, only one feeding port 23 is provided on the mixing barrel 20, and by rotating the feeding port 23 to different positions, feeding and discharging are realized. The feeding port 23 is in the feeding position during the mixing stage, and the inside of the mixing barrel 20 is not communicated with the noodle extrusion cavity 14, so that the dough will not enter the noodle extrusion cavity 14 in advance, and an additional baffle or switching mechanism can be avoided on the feeding port 23, thereby simplifying the overall structure of the noodle machine and reducing the number of components that need to be regularly cleaned and maintained.

[0045] It should be noted that in the present application, by connecting the power connection end of the mixing barrel 20 and the driving shaft 35 with an elastic connecting member 31, the driving shaft 35 and the power connection end can be automatically disengaged, realizing the interruption of transmission. Specifically, when the mixing barrel 20 is not limited in the rotation direction, the driving shaft 35 can drive the mixing barrel 20 to rotate until the feeding port 23 is located at the first position or the second position. At the same time, when the feeding port 23 reaches the first position or the second position, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8, the third limiting part 22 on the stirring barrel 20 abuts against the first limiting part 11 or the second limiting part 12 on the installation cavity 10 along the rotation direction, thereby restricting the continuous rotation of the stirring barrel 20 and keeping the feeding port 23 at the first position or the second position.

[0046] When the stirring barrel 20 is limited by the first limiting part 11 or the second limiting part 12 in the rotation direction, the stirring barrel 20 can apply force to the elastic connecting piece 31 through the power connection end, so that the elastic connecting piece 31 releases the connection between the stirring barrel 20 and the driving shaft 35. At this time, the driving shaft 35 can rotate relative to the stirring barrel 20. When the driving shaft 35 rotates in the opposite direction to the direction in which the stirring barrel 20 is limited, the elastic connecting piece 31 can connect the driving shaft 35 and the stirring barrel 20 again, so that the driving shaft 35 drives the stirring barrel 20 to rotate in the direction not limited again.

[0047] Thus, it is possible to prevent the stirring barrel 20 from continuously receiving the driving force of the driving shaft 35 when being limited, and the problem that the stirring barrel 20 rotates excessively, resulting in damage to the stirring barrel 20, the driving shaft 35 or the transmission system. By automatically releasing the connection of the elastic connecting piece 31, this excessive rotation can be effectively prevented, and the integrity of the transmission system can be protected.

[0048] At the same time, through the limitation of the first limiting part 11 and the second limiting part 12, the stirring barrel 20 can be automatically positioned at the first position or the second position of the feeding port 23, and the connection with the driving shaft 35 can be automatically unlocked through the elastic connecting piece 31 when reaching these positions. In this way, the user does not need to manually adjust the position of the stirring barrel 20 or switch the transmission state, which improves the flexibility and convenience of operation.

[0049] Further, the stirring assembly 2 includes a stirring paddle 24, and the stirring paddle 24 is arranged inside the stirring barrel 20. One end of the stirring paddle 24 extends out of the stirring barrel 20 and is connected to the driving shaft 35, and the driving shaft 35 is used to drive the stirring paddle 24 to rotate during rotation.

[0050] On the basis of this structure, during assembly, the stirring paddle 24 is directly connected to the driving shaft 35 and moves synchronously with the driving shaft 35, while the stirring barrel 20 and the driving shaft 35 are elastically connected through the elastic connecting piece 31. During use, the driving shaft 35 rotates and can drive the stirring paddle 24 and the stirring barrel 20 to rotate synchronously.

[0051] It should be noted that since the stirring paddle 24 and the stirring barrel 20 are driven to rotate by a driving shaft 35, when the stirring barrel 20 rotates to the feeding port 23 being in the first position and the stirring paddle 24 needs to continue rotating to stir the material, it is necessary to limit the continuous rotation of the stirring barrel 20 and at the same time release the driving effect of the driving shaft 35 on the stirring barrel 20 to prevent the stirring barrel 20 from rotating during the stirring process of the stirring paddle 24 and causing the feeding port 23 to switch to the second position.

[0052] In this application, the power connection end of the stirring barrel 20 and the driving shaft 35 are connected by an elastic connecting member 31. When the stirring barrel 20 rotates in one direction to the feeding port 23 being in the first position, the stirring barrel 20 is limited by the first limiting portion 11 in the rotation direction. The stirring barrel 20 can apply force to the elastic connecting member 31 through the power connection end, so that the elastic connecting member 31 releases the connection between the stirring barrel 20 and the driving shaft 35. At this time, the driving shaft 35 can rotate relative to the stirring barrel 20 and drive the stirring paddle 24 to rotate in the stirring barrel 20.

[0053] After the stirring is completed, the driving shaft 35 rotates in the opposite direction, and the elastic connecting member 31 can connect the driving shaft 35 and the stirring barrel 20 again, so that the driving shaft 35 drives the stirring barrel 20 to rotate in the opposite direction again until the feeding port 23 is in the second position. And when the elastic connecting member 31 abuts against the second limiting portion 12 of the stirring barrel 20, the driving control of the driving shaft 35 on the stirring barrel 20 is stopped again, so that the feeding port 23 remains in the second position, and the dough in the stirring barrel 20 can fall into the noodle extrusion cavity 14.

[0054] Thus, the utility model realizes driving the stirring barrel 20 and the stirring paddle 24 with one driving shaft 35, and an elastic connecting member 31 is arranged between the power connection end of the stirring barrel 20 and the driving shaft 35. The driving shaft 35 can either drive the stirring paddle 24 to rotate alone or drive the stirring paddle 24 and the stirring barrel 20 to rotate synchronously. Among them, the rotational power sources of the stirring paddle 24 and the stirring barrel 20 are the same, which simplifies the transmission structure and realizes the separation of stirring and feeding at the same time.

[0055] Further, referring to Figure 6 , the power connection end is provided with a connecting ring 25, and the connecting ring 25 is provided with a first connecting portion 21. Referring to Figure 4 , the driving shaft 35 is provided with a rotating frame 32, and the rotating frame 32 is provided with a second connecting portion. Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the rotating frame 32 and the connecting ring 25 are rotatably connected. In addition, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5, an installation groove 33 is provided on the rotating frame 32, and the above-mentioned elastic connecting member 31 is arranged in the installation groove 33, and the elastic connecting member 31 is used to connect the rotating frame 32 and the connecting ring 25 when the rotating frame 32 rotates relative to the connecting ring 25 until the second connecting portion corresponds to the first connecting portion 21.

[0056] Based on this structure, during use, when the second connecting portion is offset from the first connecting portion 21, the drive shaft 35 can drive the rotating frame 32 to rotate relative to the connecting ring 25, and at this time, the mixing barrel 20 does not rotate. When the rotating frame 32 rotates relative to the connecting ring 25 until the second connecting portion corresponds to the first connecting portion 21, the elastic connecting member 31 connects the rotating frame 32 and the connecting ring 25. At this time, if the mixing barrel 20 is limited by the first limiting portion 11 or the second limiting portion 12 in the rotating direction, the mixing barrel 20 will exert a force on the elastic connecting member 31 through the connecting ring 25 to drive the elastic connecting member 31 to return to its original position, thereby releasing the connection between the rotating frame 32 and the connecting ring 25. If the mixing barrel 20 is not limited in the rotating direction, then the drive shaft 35 will drive the mixing barrel 20 to rotate through the elastic connecting member 31, thereby switching the position of the feeding port 23.

[0057] Thus, through the mechanism of the second connecting portion being able to correspond to and be offset from the first connecting portion 21, the flexible control of the rotation of the mixing barrel 20 is realized. When it is necessary to switch the position of the feeding port 23, only need to rotate the drive shaft 35 in the direction where the mixing barrel 20 is not limited, and rotate the rotating frame 32 until the second connecting portion corresponds to the first connecting portion 21, then the connection can be achieved through the elastic connecting member 31, and further drive the mixing barrel 20 to rotate. Without additional control mechanisms or sensors, the automatic rotation and precise positioning of the mixing barrel 20 can be achieved.

[0058] Further, the first connecting portion 21 includes a first connecting hole, the second connecting portion includes a second connecting hole, and the elastic connecting member 31 includes a thimble 311 and an elastic member 312. Among them, the thimble 311 is slidably connected in the second connecting hole, and both ends of the elastic member 312 are respectively connected to the thimble 311 and the groove wall 331 of the installation groove 33. Specifically, the elastic member 312 is used to provide an elastic force to drive the thimble 311 to extend into the first connecting hole when the second connecting hole corresponds to the first connecting hole.

[0059] Among them, when the rotating frame 32 rotates relative to the connecting ring 25 until the second connecting hole corresponds to the first connecting hole, the ejector pin 311 in the second connecting hole can automatically pop out under the action of the elastic member 312 and insert into the first connecting hole, thereby connecting the rotating frame 32 and the connecting ring 25. When the rotating frame 32 rotates relative to the connecting ring 25, the connecting ring 25 can apply a force to the ejector pin 311 through the first connecting hole, so that the ejector pin 311 compresses the elastic member 312 and withdraws from the first connecting hole. And when the second connecting hole is offset from the first connecting hole, the ejector pin 311 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting ring 25 under the action of the elastic member 312.

[0060] Thus, the automatic alignment of the second connecting hole and the first connecting hole and the automatic ejection of the ejector pin 311 can achieve the quick connection of the rotating frame 32 and the connecting ring 25; the noodle machine is more rapid and efficient when switching the position of the feeding port 23, which helps to improve the overall operation efficiency of the noodle machine and shorten the time for making noodles. After the second connecting hole is offset from the first connecting hole, the ejector pin 311 automatically withdraws from the first connecting hole, disconnecting the connection between the rotating frame 32 and the connecting ring 25. This automatic connection and disconnection mechanism does not require manual intervention, thereby improving the automation degree of the noodle machine.

[0061] Further, referring to Figure 5 , the ejector pin 311 includes a first section 313, a second section 314 and a third section 315 that are connected in sequence. The elastic member 312 is a spring. Among them, the spring is sleeved on the outer periphery of the third section 315, and the two ends of the spring respectively abut against the second section 314 and the groove wall 331 of the mounting groove 33. In addition, a through hole is provided on the groove wall 331 of the mounting groove 33, the third section 315 is slidably connected to the through hole, and at the same time the first section 313 is slidably connected to the second connecting hole; wherein, a sliding guide surface is provided at the upper end of the first section 313.

[0062] On the basis of this structure, when the second connecting hole corresponds to the first connecting hole, the ejector pin 311 is inserted into the first connecting hole through the second connecting hole under the elastic force of the spring. When the second connecting hole is offset from the first connecting hole, the first section 313 withdraws from the first connecting hole under the guidance of the sliding guide surface.

[0063] Among them, the sliding guide surface can be an arc surface or an inclined surface. When the upper end of the ejector pin 311 makes a relative movement with the first connecting hole in the circumferential direction, the ejector pin 311 can smoothly slide out of the first connecting hole along the sliding guide surface, thereby realizing the disconnection of the transmission between the rotating frame 32 and the connecting ring 25, and reducing the jamming and wear of the ejector pin 311 during the withdrawal process.

[0064] In addition, the third section 315 is slidably connected to the through-hole of the installation groove 33, providing stable guidance and positioning for the ejector pin 311, ensuring that the ejector pin 311 can maintain linear motion during movement and avoid deviating from the predetermined trajectory.

[0065] Further, referring to Figure 5 , the driving assembly 3 includes a transmission member, and the transmission member is connected between the driving member 30 and the driving shaft 35. Specifically, the transmission member includes an output gear 34, and the driving shaft 35 is fixedly connected to the middle of the output gear 34. One end of the driving shaft 35 passes through the middle of the rotating frame 32 and is connected to the stirring paddle 24.

[0066] Based on this structure, during use, first start the driving member 30. In this embodiment, the driving member 30 is a motor; the rotational power generated by the motor is transmitted through the transmission member and specifically transmitted to the driving shaft 35 by the output gear 34. When the output gear 34 rotates, the driving shaft 35 will also rotate accordingly. Since one end of the driving shaft 35 passes through the middle of the rotating frame 32 and is connected to the stirring paddle 24. Therefore, as the driving shaft 35 rotates, the stirring paddle 24 also starts to rotate. The stirring paddle 24 stirs the dough in the stirring barrel 20 to make it reach the required uniformity and toughness.

[0067] Thus, by directly connecting one end of the driving shaft 35 to the stirring paddle 24, the rotation speed and stirring force of the stirring paddle 24 can be controlled more precisely. And an elastic connection is provided between the rotating frame 32 provided on the driving shaft 35 and the connection ring 25 of the stirring barrel 20, enabling the stirring barrel 20 to rotate flexibly within a certain range, allowing the stirring barrel 20 to automatically adjust its position when needed, such as switching the position of the feeding port 23, to adapt to different operation requirements.

[0068] In addition, when the stirring barrel 20 is limited or reaches a predetermined position, the elastic connecting member 31 will absorb the impact and disconnect, preventing the driving shaft 35 from continuing to apply excessive torque and damaging the transmission components, thereby protecting the transmission system from damage.

[0069] Further, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , a limiting hole 321 is provided on the driving shaft 35. Referring to Figure 9 , the stirring paddle 24 includes a rotating shaft 241 and stirring blades 242. Among them, the stirring blades 242 are connected to the rotating shaft 241, and one end of the rotating shaft 241 is connected to the limiting hole 321 in a limiting manner.

[0070] Based on this structure, the inner circumference of the limiting hole 321 can be set as a polygonal structure. Correspondingly, the shape of the outer circumference of one end of the rotating shaft 241 connected to the limiting hole 321 is adapted to the shape of the limiting hole 321. During assembly, one end of the rotating shaft 241 can be axially inserted into the limiting hole 321, so as to connect the rotating shaft 241 to the driving shaft 35. During use, the motor drives the output gear 34 to rotate. During the rotation of the output gear 34, the driving shaft 35 is driven to rotate. The driving shaft 35 drives the rotating shaft 241 to rotate through the limiting hole 321. Finally, the rotating shaft 241 drives the stirring blade 242 to rotate to stir the food ingredients.

[0071] Thus, by limiting and connecting one end of the rotating shaft 241 with the limiting hole 321 of the driving shaft 35, and the rotating shaft 241 and the limiting hole 321 are limited to each other in the circumferential direction, it is possible to prevent slipping between the driving shaft 35 and the rotating shaft 241 when the driving shaft 35 drives the rotating shaft 241 to rotate, and the transmission efficiency and the rotation accuracy of the rotating shaft 241 can be improved.

[0072] Further, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 9 , the first limiting portion 11 includes a first limiting step, the second limiting portion 12 includes a second limiting step, and the third limiting portion 22 includes a limiting block. Among them, the first limiting step and the second limiting step are arranged on opposite sides of the installation cavity 10, and the limiting block protrudes from the outer circumference of the stirring barrel 20.

[0073] Among them, when the limiting block abuts against the first limiting step, the feeding port 23 is in the first position; at this time, if the stirring barrel 20 rotates to the position where the limiting block abuts against the second limiting step, then the feeding port 23 will be in the second position. That is to say, in this application, by arranging the first limiting step and the second limiting step on opposite sides of the installation cavity 10, when the stirring barrel 20 rotates from the first limiting step to the second limiting step, it just rotates 180°. At this time, the feeding port 23 also rotates 180°, changing from facing upward to facing downward.

[0074] Thus, during use, the user does not need to manually adjust the position of the stirring barrel 20 or the feeding port 23, and only needs to start the noodle machine and wait for it to automatically complete the operation of switching the feeding port 23. This simple operation method reduces the use threshold of the noodle machine and improves the user experience.

[0075] Further, referring to Figure 9 , an extrusion cavity 14 is further provided in the installation shell 1, and an extrusion rod 141 is provided in the extrusion cavity 14. Among them, the extrusion cavity 14 is arranged below the installation cavity 10 so that when the feeding port 23 is in the second position, the extrusion cavity 14 is communicated with the feeding port 23.

[0076] Based on this structure, during use, when the stirring barrel 20 completes the stirring action and the feeding port 23 switches to the second position (open downward) and communicates with the noodle extrusion cavity 14, the well-stirred dough can smoothly fall into the noodle extrusion cavity 14. Subsequently, the noodle extrusion rod 141 extrudes the dough under the drive of the transmission member, forming noodles and extruding them through the die.

[0077] Among them, the noodle extrusion cavity 14 is arranged below the installation cavity 10, making full use of the space inside the noodle machine. The vertical layout makes the overall structure of the noodle machine more compact, occupying less floor space and facilitating use in limited spaces such as kitchens or production lines. At the same time, users do not need to manually transfer the well-stirred dough to the noodle extrusion mechanism because the automatic switching of the feeding port 23 has achieved the direct connection between the stirring barrel 20 and the noodle extrusion cavity 14.

[0078] Thus, this application realizes the automatic, continuous, and smooth process of noodles from stirring to extrusion, improves production efficiency, simplifies the operation process of the noodle machine, reduces the operation difficulty, and improves the user experience.

[0079] In addition, the noodle machine further includes a machine base 4, and the drive assembly 3 is installed on the machine base 4. Among them, the installation shell 1 can be integrally formed with the machine base 4 or connected to the machine base 4 by a detachable connection method.

[0080] Further, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , a cover body 13 is provided on the installation shell 1, and the cover body 13 is detachably connected to the installation shell 1.

[0081] Based on this structure, the cover body 13 can be connected to the installation shell 1 through a snap structure, a magnetic attraction structure, or a hinge structure, etc. During use, the cover body 13 can be first detached from the installation shell 1 or rotated away from the installation shell 1, and then the stirring barrel 20 is driven to rotate by the drive shaft 35 so that the feeding port 23 is in the first position (open upward). At this time, the ingredients for making noodles can be put into the stirring barrel 20 through the feeding port 23, and then the cover body 13 is covered to seal the feeding port 23, and the stirring process is carried out in the state where the feeding port 23 is in the first position.

[0082] Thus, during the stirring process, the ingredients and the stirring environment are effectively isolated by the cover body 13, avoiding the pollution of external impurities and ensuring the hygienic quality of the noodles. At the same time, the sealing effect of the cover body 13 also prevents the ingredients from splashing out during the stirring process, improving the operation safety. After the stirring process is completed, the user can detach the cover body 13 again according to needs, clean the cover body 13, and at the same time, it is also convenient to clean the residues around the stirring barrel 20 and the feeding port 23.

[0083] The technical means disclosed in the solution of the present utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present utility model, several improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications are also regarded as the protection scope of the present utility model.
