Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Frying is one of the common cooking methods in life. When food is fried, the Maillard reaction occurs, producing a unique aroma and taste, which can enhance people's appetite. In order to make the fried food crispy on the outside, a layer of slurry needs to be wrapped on the outer surface of the food material. This process is called sizing. In daily home cooking, manual sizing is used. However, due to the low efficiency of manual sizing and the uneven wrapping of the slurry on the food material, it is difficult to maintain consistent sizing quality and it cannot be applied to large-scale food production. Therefore, in large-scale food production, a sizing machine is often used to replace manual sizing. The current sizing machine includes a conveyor mesh belt and a slurry spraying component arranged above the conveyor mesh belt. The food material is conveyed through the conveyor mesh belt under the slurry spraying component, and the slurry loaded inside the slurry spraying component is poured on the food material through the slurry outlet arranged on the slurry spraying component to complete sizing. However, due to the certain viscosity of the slurry and low fluidity, sedimentation is likely to occur. The long-term accumulation of sediments causes the slurry outlet to be blocked, and it is necessary to frequently stop the machine to dredge the slurry outlet, making it difficult to continuously size and affecting production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

A slurry outlet is arranged at the bottom of the slurry tank.

[0006] Based on the above technical solutions, the utility model can be improved as follows:

[0007] Further, the stirring member includes a rotating shaft rotatably arranged in the slurry tank around an axis. The rotating shaft is parallel to the width direction of the conveyor mesh belt. One end of the rotating shaft extends out of the slurry tank and is connected to the driving member.

Detailed Embodiments

[0019] The following further describes the specific embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The description of these embodiments is used to help understand the present utility model, but does not limit the present utility model. In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0020] See Figures 1 to 3 , this embodiment relates to a food sizing machine, which includes a frame 1, a liquid collecting tank 2 arranged on the frame 1, a conveyor belt 3 arranged in the liquid collecting tank 2, a slurry spraying assembly arranged above the conveyor belt 3, and a slurry supply assembly arranged on the frame 1. The slurry supply assembly is used to convey slurry to the slurry spraying assembly; during sizing, the food ingredients are conveyed along a preset conveying trajectory through the conveyor belt 3, are sprayed and sized through the slurry spraying assembly, and the slurry that falls after sizing is centrally stored through the liquid collecting tank 2 and is conveyed to the slurry spraying assembly again through the slurry supply assembly.

[0021] The slurry spraying assembly includes a slurry tank 5 erected above the liquid collecting tank 2 through a bracket 4, a rotatable stirring member arranged in the slurry tank 5, and a driving member for driving the stirring member to rotate; a slurry outlet 501 is arranged on the slurry tank 5.

[0022] Specifically, the slurry tank 5 is a rectangular box structure. An accommodating cavity for the slurry is formed inside the slurry tank 5. A plurality of slurry outlets 501 communicating with the accommodating cavity are opened at the bottom of the slurry tank 5. A tank opening is arranged at the top of the slurry tank 5, and a tank cover 6 is arranged to cover the tank opening to prevent external substances from entering the inside of the slurry tank 5 and polluting the slurry, thereby improving the food production hygiene and safety; the stirring member is installed in the slurry tank 5 through the tank opening and can rotate around the axis in the accommodating cavity formed inside the slurry tank 5; a slurry inlet 601 is opened on the tank cover 6, and the tank cover 6 is connected to the slurry supply assembly through a pipeline at the slurry inlet 601; the slurry is conveyed through the slurry supply assembly, enters the slurry tank 5 from the slurry inlet 601 on the tank cover 6, and after being stirred by the stirring member in the accommodating cavity, flows out from the slurry outlets 501 at the bottom of the slurry tank 5.

[0023] The stirring member includes a rotating shaft 7 rotatably arranged in the slurry tank 5. The rotating shaft 7 is parallel to the width direction of the conveyor mesh belt 3.

When the spoiler plate 8 rotates to the lowest position in the accommodating cavity, the slurry scraping side of the spoiler plate 8 contacts the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity to stir and turn over the slurry located at the bottom of the accommodating cavity, maintaining the fluidity of the slurry, preventing the slurry from depositing and blocking the slurry outlet 501, enabling continuous sizing of the food ingredients, and improving the food production efficiency.

[0024] The spoiler plate 8 is provided with an elastic scraper 9 on the slurry scraping side. The elastic scraper 9 is used to elastically abut against the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity when the spoiler plate 8 rotates to the lowest position, so as to stir and turn over the slurry located at the bottom of the accommodating cavity, further improving the fluidity of the slurry, and at the same time preventing the rigid contact between the spoiler plate 8 and the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity, and prolonging the service life.

[0025] A plurality of spoiler holes 801 are provided on the spoiler plate 8. The spoiler holes 801 are used to allow the slurry to flow through when the spoiler plate 8 rotates, so as to reduce the resistance generated between the spoiler plate 8 and the slurry, prevent the slurry from being violently disturbed in the accommodating cavity during the stirring process, and ensure that the spoiler plate 8 can evenly stir and turn over the slurry.
