Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food coating machines, in particular to a coating machine for convenient and uniform feeding in food processing. Background Art

[0002] Food coating refers to applying ingredients or other edible layers on the surface of food. For example, applying a chocolate layer on the surface of snacks is a food coating. A coating machine is required for food coating. When using an ordinary coating machine for coating, the food needs to be coated with powdered ingredients, or vegetable oil or chocolate liquid. When applying powdered ingredients, the ingredients are often unevenly scattered, and there are also phenomena of uneven application of vegetable oil or chocolate liquid. Even when the storage amount of liquid ingredients such as vegetable oil or chocolate liquid is insufficient, it is more difficult to make the coating comprehensive and uniform, affecting the taste and appearance of the food.

[0003] Chinese Utility Model Patent CN215124241U discloses a coating machine for convenient and uniform feeding in food processing. It includes an equipment box, a control panel, a heat dissipation plate, a conveyor belt, a suspension rod, a feeding box, a vibration motor, etc.; the suspension rods are uniformly fixed to the equipment box and are located above the conveyor belt; the feeding box is fixed to the suspension rod; the vibration motor is fixed to the outer side wall of the feeding box; the feeding pipe is fixed to the equipment box. The utility model achieves the effect of effectively and uniformly coating both powdered ingredients and liquid ingredients and preventing the solidification of liquid ingredients.

[0004] However, in the actual use process, it has the following defects:

[0005] When the powder material is insufficient, even if the powder material box is shaken, it will still cause uneven coating (the time for the product under the powder material box is limited). That is to say, when the material is insufficient, the staff should be reminded to replenish the material, and shaking cannot solve the problem;

[0006] A heater is provided at the output of the liquid coating. The inner walls of the nozzle and the clinker pipe will dry the liquid material under the long-term heating state, and the dried / evaporated liquid material will leave marks on the inner wall. Over time, it will cause the nozzle flow rate to become smaller, that is, it will be blocked, affecting the spraying efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Technical Problems to be Solved by the Utility Model

[0008] For the existing coating machine: when the powder material is insufficient, even if the powder material box is shaken, it will still cause uneven coating (the time for the product under the powder material box is limited). That is to say, when the material is insufficient, the staff should be reminded to replenish the material, and shaking cannot solve the problem;

[0009] A heater is provided at the output of the liquid coating. When the inner walls of the nozzle and the clinker pipe are under long-term heating, the liquid material will be dried out, and the dried / evaporated liquid material will leave marks on the inner walls. Over time, the nozzle flow rate will decrease, that is, it will be blocked, affecting the spraying efficiency.

[0034] Hereinafter, a coating machine for convenient and uniform feeding in food processing, which is an embodiment of the present utility model, will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, as an embodiment of the present disclosure, a coating machine for convenient and uniform feeding in food processing is provided, including a mounting frame 1 and a conveying assembly, as well as a dry material part and a wet material part provided on the mounting frame 1;

[0036] The conveying assembly is used to convey products, the dry material part is used to sprinkle powder coating materials on the products on the conveying assembly, and the wet material part is used to spray liquid coating materials on the products on the conveying assembly;

[0037] It also includes a detection unit and an alarm unit for monitoring whether the materials in the dry material part are sufficient and whether the nozzles in the wet material part are blocked;

[0038] The alarm unit is used to prompt the staff to repair and adjust the dry material part and the wet material part;

[0039] Among them, the mounting frame 1 is set as a rectangular frame:

[0040] A top plate 101 and a bottom plate 102 are arranged between the mounting frames 1, and an aggregate box 103 is arranged on the bottom plate 102;

[0041] During use, the aggregate box 103 can collect the coating materials leaked by the conveying assembly, facilitating the cleaning by the staff;

[0042] Regarding the conveying assembly, it is arranged between the top plate 101 and the bottom plate 102, and includes:

[0043] Conveying roller shafts, rotatably arranged between the mounting frames 1 (not marked in the drawings)

[0044] A conveyor belt 104 is sleeved outside the conveying roller shafts;

[0045] Specifically, a number of uniformly distributed through holes 104-1 are provided on the conveyor belt 104 for observation, and the cross-sectional shape of the through holes 104-1 is "round", "elliptical", "rectangular" or "triangular" (the shape and area of the through holes 104-1 are selected according to the weight and size of the product);

[0046] A motor 104-2 is fixed on the mounting frame 1 and is in transmission with one of the conveying roller shafts;

[0047] During use, the motor 104-2 drives the conveyor belt 104 to displace through the conveying roller shafts, and the setting of the through holes 104-1 can prevent the coating materials from accumulating on the conveyor belt 104 and affecting the material transportation;

[0048] Regarding the dry material part, it is arranged between the conveying assembly and the top plate 101 and includes:

[0049] A dry material box 2 is hoisted inside the mounting frame 1 through a connecting cable 202 and is located above the conveyor belt 104;

[0050] Among them, a rectangular array of discharge holes 2-1 is provided through the bottom of the dry material box 2, a material injection port 201 is provided at the top of the dry material box 2, and at least one vibration motor 203 is provided outside the dry material box 2;

[0051] Specifically, the material injection port 201 is set as a conical sleeve;

[0052] More specifically, one end of each cable is connected to a vertex of the dry material box 2, and the other end is connected to the mounting frame 1;

[0053] During use, the staff inject powder coating material into the dry material box 2 through the feeding port 201. When the conveying component drives the product to pass below the dry material box 2, the vibration motor 203 operates to drive the dry material box 2 to vibrate (since the dry material box 2 is movably connected to the mounting frame 1 through the connecting cable 202, the dry material box 2 has the freedom of vibration), and the powder coating material is sprinkled onto the product through the through hole 104-1 at the bottom of the material box, completing the powder material coating work for the product;

[0054] Regarding the wet material part, it is arranged between the conveying component and the top plate 101 and is located on one side of the dry material part, including:

[0055] The wet material box 3 is fixed on the mounting frame 1 and is located above the conveyor belt 104;

[0056] Among them, the lower end face of the wet material box 3 is communicated with a discharge pipe 3-1, and an atomizing nozzle 3-2 is installed at the end of the discharge pipe 3-1. An air pump 3-1 and a feeding end cover 302 are arranged at the top of the wet material box 3;

[0057] Specifically, the air pump 3-1 adopts a booster pump with an electric control valve;

[0058] During use, the staff opens the feeding end cover 302 and fills the wet material box 3 with the material of the liquid coating, and then tightens the feeding end cover 302 (at this time, the valve on the air pump 3-1 is in the closed state, that is to say, the wet material box 3 is closed and the material will not flow out from the atomizing nozzle 3-2 connected to the discharge pipe 3-1). When the conveying component drives the product to pass below the wet material box 3, the air pump 3-1 pumps compressed air into the wet material box 3, and the material in the wet material box 3 is pressured and sprayed onto the product through the discharge pipe 3-1 and the atomizing nozzle 3-2, completing the liquid material coating work for the product;

[0059] Regarding the detection part, it includes:

[0060] The pressure sensor 5 is arranged on the top plate 101;

[0061] The probe 502 is electrically connected to the pressure sensor 5 through the signal line 501;

[0062] Among them, the probe 502 installed in the dry material part is arranged at the connection between the connecting cable 202 and the mounting frame 1;

[0063] Among them, the probe 502 installed in the wet material part is arranged at the connection between the air pump 3-1 and the wet material box 3;

[0064] During use:

[0065] For the dry material section: The probe 502 monitors the tension between the connecting cable 202 and the mounting bracket 1. When the material in the dry material box 2 is insufficient, the pressure sensor 5 detects that the pressure signal received by the probe 502 exceeds the set threshold, and the alarm section reminds the staff to add material to the dry material box 2, avoiding uneven spraying caused by too little material in the dry material.

[0066] For the wet material section, the probe 502 monitors the pressure in the wet material box 3 (the output air pressure of the air pump 3-1 is constant, and when the atomizing nozzle 3-2 and the discharge pipe 3-1 are unobstructed, the air pressure in the wet material box 3 should be constant). When the pressure signal exceeds the set threshold, it reminds the staff to check whether there is a blockage in the discharge pipe 3-1 and the wet material box 3, avoiding uneven spraying caused by blockage.

[0067] Among them, the alarm section includes a main controller 6 and an alarm 601, which is used to detect whether the value of the pressure sensor 5 exceeds the threshold, and when it exceeds the threshold, it makes a sound through the alarm 601 to remind the staff. It is from the prior art, and its structure, control principle, and electrical connection relationship will not be elaborated in detail.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 3 , as another embodiment of the present disclosure, a heating section is provided for use in the wet material section in the above embodiment, including:

[0069] A heater 4 is provided outside the wet material box 3;

[0070] A heating pipe 401 is electrically connected to the heater 4 through a heating wire (not shown in the figure), and is installed below the wet material box 3 and outside the discharge pipe 3-1 and the atomizing nozzle 3-2;

[0071] During use, for liquid coating materials (such as chocolate) that will solidify due to temperature changes, heating can maintain the liquid property of the material, avoiding uneven spraying caused by liquid solidification.

[0072] Compared with the prior art, the present utility model has the following characteristics:

[0073] Through the combined design of the connecting cable 202, the probe 502, and the pressure sensor 5, the material stock in the dry material box 2 is monitored, effectively avoiding uneven spraying caused by insufficient material.

[0074] By setting the probe 502 in the wet material box 3, the pressure in the wet material box 3 can be monitored, thereby detecting whether there is a blockage in the discharge pipe 3-1 and the atomizing nozzle 3-2, and solving the problem of uneven spraying caused by liquid material solidification when spraying liquid coating materials.

[0075] The present utility model is not limited to the implementation manner, and various deformations can be implemented as long as its purpose is not violated.
