Specific embodiments

[0021] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions realized by the present utility model easy to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , an automatic noodle folding device, including a workbench 1, a conveyor belt 2 is installed on the top of the workbench 1, a support frame 3 is fixedly connected above the conveyor belt 2 on the top of the workbench 1, inclined plates 4 are arranged on both sides of the top of the conveyor belt 2, fixed plates 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the support frame 3, a rotating push plate 6 is rotatably connected between the two fixed plates 5, a limit plate 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the workbench 1, sliding rods 8 are slidably connected to both sides of the inside of the limit plate 7, a discharge plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the sliding rods 8, and a transmission component is arranged inside the support frame 3.

[0023] Specifically, the transmission component includes a motor 10 and a linkage unit. The motor 10 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the fixing plate 5. The output end of the motor 10 extends to the inner side of the fixing plate 5 and is fixedly connected to the rotating push plate 6. A first rotating rod 11 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating push plate 6 away from the motor 10. One end of the first rotating rod 11 extends to the outer side of the support frame 3 and is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 12. The discharge plate 9 can be moved through the linkage unit. The linkage unit includes a second rotating rod 13. The second rotating rod 13 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the support frame 3. One end of the second rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear 14. The first bevel gear 12 is meshed with the second bevel gear 14. The other end of the second rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to a worm 15. One side of the bottom of the support frame 3 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 16. The bottom of the rotating shaft 16 is fixedly connected to a worm gear 17. The worm gear 17 is meshed with the worm 15. The bottom of the worm gear 17 is fixedly connected to a rotating plate 18. One side of the bottom of the rotating plate 18 is fixedly connected to a sliding shaft 19. One side of the outer part of the discharge plate 9 is fixedly connected to a connecting rod 20. One end of the outer part of the connecting rod 20 is fixedly connected to a limiting frame 21. The sliding shaft 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting frame 21.

[0024] Through the above technical solution, first, the conveyor belt 2 is started by an external controller, and the noodles to be folded are continuously conveyed through the conveyor belt 2. When the noodles are driven to the inclined plate 4, the two sides of the noodles are pushed by the inner sides of the two inclined plates 4, so as to fold the noodles. In order to prevent the noodles from getting stuck between the two inclined plates 4 and being difficult to pass through, the motor 10 is started by the external controller. The output end of the motor 10 drives the rotating push plate 6 to rotate, so as to continuously push multiple groups of noodles through both ends of the rotating push plate 6, and push the middle part of the noodles to the outside of the two inclined plates 4, thereby effectively improving the folding effect and folding efficiency of the noodles. When the folding of the noodles is completed, the conveyor belt 2 continues to convey the folded noodles, and during the rotation of the rotating push plate 6, the first bevel gear 12 can be driven to rotate by the first rotating rod 11. The first bevel gear 12 drives the second bevel gear 14 and the second rotating rod 13 to rotate through the meshing relationship, so that the second rotating rod 13 drives the worm 15 to rotate. The worm 15 drives the worm gear 17 and the rotating plate 18 at its bottom to rotate through the meshing relationship. The rotating plate 18 drives the sliding shaft 19 at the bottom to slide inside the limiting frame 21, so that the sliding shaft 19 pushes the limiting frame 21 and drives the discharging plate 9 to reciprocate under the limitation of the sliding rod 8, and the folded noodles can be pushed by the discharging plate 9 for discharging, thus facilitating the noodles to enter the subsequent production steps. This device can continuously convey multiple groups of noodles through the conveyor belt 2, and limit the noodles through the symmetrically arranged inclined plates 4, so as to fold the noodles during the conveying process. And the middle part of the noodles is pushed by the rotating push plate 6 during rotation to better complete the folding, and it can prevent the noodles from getting stuck between the two inclined plates 4 and being difficult to pass through. Then, the folded noodles can be discharged by the reciprocating discharging plate 9, which facilitates the noodles to enter the subsequent packaging steps, thereby improving the production efficiency of the noodles.

[0025] Specifically, connecting plates are fixedly connected to both outer sides of the connecting rod 20, and the two sliding rods 8 are respectively fixedly connected to the interiors of the corresponding connecting plates. Damping adjusting columns 22 are rotatably connected to both bottom sides of the support frame 3, and the two inclined plates 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottoms of the corresponding damping adjusting columns 22.

[0026] Through the above technical solution, the inclination angle of the inclined plate 4 can be arbitrarily adjusted by the provided damping adjusting column 22, so as to limit and fold different types of noodles, improving the flexibility of use.

[0027] Specifically, both the conveyor belt 2 and the motor 10 are electrically connected to the external controller.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, the external controller facilitates the staff to quickly control the conveyor belt 2 and the motor 10.

[0029] In use, first, start the conveyor belt 2 through an external controller, and continuously transport the noodles to be folded through the conveyor belt 2. When the noodles are driven to the inclined plate 4, the inner sides of the two inclined plates 4 push both sides of the noodles, so as to fold the noodles. In order to prevent the noodles from getting stuck between the two inclined plates 4 and being difficult to pass through, start the motor 10 through the external controller. The output end of the motor 10 drives the rotating push plate 6 to rotate, so as to continuously push multiple groups of noodles through both ends of the rotating push plate 6, and push the middle part of the noodles to the outside of the two inclined plates 4, thereby effectively improving the folding effect and folding efficiency of the noodles. When the folding of the noodles is completed, the conveyor belt 2 continues to transport the folded noodles, and during the rotation of the rotating push plate 6, the first rotating rod 11 can drive the first bevel gear 12 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 12 drives the second bevel gear 14 and the second rotating rod 13 to rotate through the meshing relationship, so that the second rotating rod 13 drives the worm 15 to rotate. The worm 15 drives the worm wheel 17 and the rotating plate 18 at its bottom to rotate through the meshing relationship. The rotating plate 18 drives the sliding shaft 19 at the bottom to slide inside the limiting frame 21, so that the sliding shaft 19 pushes the limiting frame 21 and drives the discharging plate 9 to reciprocate under the limitation of the sliding rod 8, and the folded noodles can be pushed by the discharging plate 9 for discharging, thus facilitating the noodles to enter the subsequent production steps. This device can continuously transport multiple groups of noodles through the conveyor belt 2, and limit the noodles through the symmetrically arranged inclined plates 4, so as to fold the noodles during the conveying process. And through the rotating push plate 6 during rotation, push the middle part of the noodles to better complete the folding, and prevent the noodles from getting stuck between the two inclined plates 4 and being difficult to pass through. Then, the reciprocating discharging plate 9 can discharge the folded noodles, which is convenient for driving the noodles to enter the subsequent packaging step, thereby improving the production efficiency of the noodles. By setting the damping adjustment column 22, the inclination angle of the inclined plate 4 can be adjusted arbitrarily, so as to limit and fold different types of noodles, improving the flexibility of use. Through the external controller, it is convenient for the staff to quickly control the conveyor belt 2 and the motor 10.
