Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to an automatic dough kneading machine. Background Art

[0002] As an efficient auxiliary equipment in modern kitchens, the dough kneading machine is designed to significantly improve the efficiency and quality of pasta making. It plays a vital role in dough making. Through precise kneading actions, it significantly improves the toughness and elasticity of the dough, ensuring that the noodles are not easy to break during the cooking process and have a smoother and chewier taste. In addition, the dough kneading machine also ensures the uniformity and consistency of the dough, which is an effect that is difficult to fully achieve by traditional manual kneading. The machine uses uniform kneading force and speed to fully mix the ingredients in the dough, laying a solid foundation for subsequent noodle making. Whether making ramen, knife-cut noodles or other types of noodles, the dough kneading machine can provide an ideal dough state, making the noodles more chewy and taste better.

[0003] However, the existing dough kneading device only kneads the dough in one direction, which can easily lead to uneven density and moisture distribution in different parts of the dough. Due to the unevenness inside the dough, the noodles may become uneven in hardness and inconsistent in taste during the cooking process. Some noodles may become too chewy and difficult to chew due to excessive kneading, while others may become too soft and lack the proper elasticity and chewiness due to insufficient kneading. This difference not only affects the overall flavor of the noodles, but also causes great inconsistency in taste, reducing the consumer's eating experience. Therefore, it does not meet existing needs. In this regard, we propose an automatic dough kneading machine. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic dough kneading machine to solve the problem in the above background technology that the dough kneading machine kneads dough in a single direction, resulting in insufficient kneading effect and affecting the texture and taste of the dough.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automatic dough kneading machine, comprising a base, a lifting seat being provided directly above the base, a dough kneading chamber being provided at a middle position of an upper end of the base, a second electric telescopic rod being provided at an upper end of the lifting seat, and an extrusion hammer being provided at an output end of the second electric telescopic rod;

[0006] The transmission chamber is provided on the upper side of the interior of the base, and the inner wall of the transmission chamber is rotatably connected to four reciprocating screws equidistantly distributed in an annular shape, one end of each of the reciprocating screws is provided with a second rotating rod, and the exterior of each of the reciprocating screws is threadedly connected to a moving block, and one end of each of the moving blocks extends to the exterior of the transmission chamber;

[0007] It also includes a circular groove, which is opened at the lower end of the lifting seat. A circular convex block is adhered and fixed to the outer side of the dough kneading cavity, and the circular convex block is adapted to the circular groove.

[0008] Preferably, a motor is installed at the lower end of the transmission cavity, a first rotating rod is installed at the output end of the motor through a coupling, and one end of the first rotating rod is rotatably connected to the transmission cavity.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the first rotating rod and one end of the second rotating rod are both provided with bevel gears, and the bevel gears are meshedly connected.

[0010] Preferably, a guide rod is provided directly above the reciprocating screw, and both ends of the guide rod are welded and fixed to the transmission cavity. The guide rod passes through the moving block, and the guide rod and the moving block are slidably matched.

[0011] Preferably, four extrusion blocks equidistantly distributed in a circular shape are provided inside the dough kneading cavity, and a sliding rod is welded at the middle position of the outer side of the extrusion block. One end of the sliding rod passes through and extends to the outside of the dough kneading cavity, and the sliding rod slides with the dough kneading cavity, and the end of the sliding rod located outside the dough kneading cavity is connected to the moving block.

[0012] Preferably, two bearings are provided on the outer wall of the second rotating rod, the outer walls of the bearings are connected to the transmission cavity, and the inner walls of the bearings are connected to the outer wall of the second rotating rod.

[0013] Preferably, two first electric telescopic rods are installed on both sides of the upper end of the base, and the output ends of the first electric telescopic rods are connected to the lifting seat.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. The utility model provides extrusion blocks on both sides and front and back sides of the dough kneading chamber. When kneading the dough, the second telescopic rod is first started to move the extrusion hammer downward to hammer the dough once. Then, the four moving blocks are moved toward each other by rotating the four reciprocating screws, so that the sliding rod can drive the extrusion blocks to move synchronously to squeeze the dough in four directions. The multi-directional extrusion helps to enhance the toughness and ductility of the dough. Such dough can better maintain the taste during subsequent processing. This design not only optimizes the dough processing technology, but also greatly improves the quality of noodles. The dough enhanced by multi-directional extrusion can show a more uniform and delicate texture when subsequently drawn or cut into noodles. The noodles have stronger toughness and are not easy to break. They can better maintain their complete shape and taste when cooked. In addition, the improvement of the dough ductility makes the noodles smoother and elastic after cooking, and the bite is better, bringing consumers a richer and more satisfying eating experience.

[0016] 2. The utility model is equipped with two first electric telescopic rods on both sides of the upper end of the base. When the first electric telescopic rods are started, the lifting seat can be moved upward, and the dough kneading chamber can be opened to expose the internal space, which greatly improves the cleaning efficiency and allows the operator to easily clean the dough kneading chamber, effectively avoiding the risks of bacterial breeding and cross-contamination, thereby ensuring the hygiene and safety of noodles. The thoroughly cleaned equipment can ensure that the dough is kneaded in a purer environment when used next time, avoiding the negative impact of impurities on the quality of the dough, so that the final noodles have a purer and more delicate taste and a more authentic flavor. At the same time, when the lifting seat moves downward, the circular groove will accurately fit into the corresponding circular protrusion on the base, realizing a close docking between the base and the lifting seat, enhancing the tightness of the docking, and effectively preventing the problems of shaking or leakage that may occur during the kneading process. The close docking between the base and the lifting seat not only enhances the stability of the equipment and reduces shaking during the kneading process, but also ensures that the dough is evenly stressed during the kneading process, further improving the uniformity and taste consistency of the noodles.

[0017] 3. The utility model is provided with a motor at the lower end of the transmission chamber, and four second rotating rods are provided inside the transmission chamber. When the motor is started, the second rotating rods can be rotated synchronously through the meshing connection of the bevel gears, and the rotation of the second rotating rods will drive the synchronous rotation of the reciprocating screw, thereby realizing the opposite or opposite movement of the two moving blocks. Compared with using multiple independent motors to drive them separately, the number of motors and corresponding control elements is greatly reduced, thereby significantly reducing production costs. Reducing the number of motors also reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs, further improving the overall economic benefits. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1-5 The utility model provides a technical solution: an automatic dough kneading machine, comprising a base 1, a lifting seat 2 is arranged directly above the base 1, a dough kneading chamber 19 is opened at the middle position of the upper end of the base 1, a second electric telescopic rod 4 is arranged at the upper end of the lifting seat 2, and an extrusion hammer 5 is arranged at the output end of the second electric telescopic rod 4;

[0026] The transmission chamber 6 is provided on the upper side of the interior of the base 1.

The outer portion of each reciprocating screw 12 is threadedly connected to a moving block 13, and one end of each moving block 13 extends to the outside of the transmission chamber 6.

[0027] It also includes a circular groove 17, which is opened at the lower end of the lifting seat 2. A circular protrusion 18 is adhered and fixed to the outer side of the dough kneading cavity 19, and the circular protrusion 18 is adapted to the circular groove 17.

[0028] During use, the dough is placed in the dough kneading chamber 19, the first electric telescopic rod 3 drives the lifting seat 2 to move downward, and the second electric telescopic rod 4 drives the extrusion hammer 5 to hammer the dough. At the same time, the motor 7 is started, and the four second rotating rods 10 are linked through the bevel gear 9 group to drive the reciprocating screw 12 to drive the moving block 13 to move linearly on the guide rod 14, realizing multi-directional extrusion of the extrusion block 16, and extrusion and hammering are performed alternately to form a continuous kneading cycle until the dough reaches the ideal state. The whole process has a high degree of automation and is easy to operate, which effectively improves the kneading efficiency and dough quality.

[0029] See also Figure 2A motor 7 is installed at the lower end of the transmission chamber 6. A first rotating rod 8 is installed at the output end of the motor 7 through a coupling, and one end of the first rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the transmission chamber 6. The power of the motor 7 can be stably and efficiently transmitted to the first rotating rod 8, thereby driving the entire transmission system to work, achieving accuracy and reliability of power transmission;

[0030] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 The outer wall of the first rotating rod 8 and one end of the second rotating rod 10 are both provided with a bevel gear 9, and the bevel gears 9 are meshed and connected. Through the meshing of the bevel gears 9, the power synchronous transmission between the first rotating rod 8 and the four second rotating rods 10 is realized, so that the four reciprocating screws 12 can work simultaneously and evenly, thereby improving the uniformity and efficiency of kneading the dough;

[0031] See also Figure 2 A guide rod 14 is provided just above the reciprocating screw 12, and both ends of the guide rod 14 are welded and fixed to the transmission chamber 6. The guide rod 14 passes through the moving block 13, and the guide rod 14 and the moving block 13 slide together. The guide rod 14 provides a stable motion trajectory for the moving block 13, preventing the moving block 13 from deflecting or shaking during movement, ensuring that the extrusion block 16 can accurately extrude the dough, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of kneading the dough.

[0032] See also Figure 2 , four extrusion blocks 16 are arranged in an annular and equidistant manner inside the dough kneading cavity 19, and a slide rod 15 is welded at the middle position of the outer side of the extrusion block 16. One end of the slide rod 15 passes through and extends to the outside of the dough kneading cavity 19, and the slide rod 15 slides with the dough kneading cavity 19. The end of the slide rod 15 located outside the dough kneading cavity 19 is connected to the moving block 13. The four extrusion blocks 16 can synchronously extrude the dough from different directions, realizing multi-directional dough kneading and improving the uniformity and kneading effect of the dough.

[0033] See also Figure 3 and Figure 5 Two bearings 11 are provided on the outer wall of the second rotating rod 10. The outer wall of the bearing 11 is connected to the transmission cavity 6, and the inner wall of the bearing 11 is connected to the outer wall of the second rotating rod 10. The bearing 11 can reduce the friction and resistance of the second rotating rod 10 during the rotation process, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the rotation. At the same time, the supporting effect of the bearing 11 also enhances the stability of the second rotating rod 10, preventing displacement or damage caused by vibration or impact;

[0034] See also Figure 4Two first electric telescopic rods 3 are installed on both sides of the upper end of the base 1, and the output ends of the first electric telescopic rods 3 are connected to the lifting seat 2. The first electric telescopic rods 3 can accurately control the lifting height of the lifting seat 2, thereby realizing the automatic opening and closing of the dough kneading chamber 19.

[0035] Working principle: When in use, put the dough into the dough kneading chamber 19, start the first electric telescopic rod 3 to move the lifting seat 2 downward, and the circular groove 17 provided at the lower end of the lifting seat 2 will engage with the corresponding circular protrusion 18, effectively preventing shaking or leakage problems that may occur during the kneading process, start the second electric telescopic rod 4 so that its output end drives the extrusion hammer 5 to move downward, hammering the dough once, and then start the motor 7, which will drive the first rotating rod 8 to rotate through the coupling, and the first rotating rod 8 will drive one of the bevel gears 9 to rotate, and the bevel gear 9 will be meshed with the remaining bevel gears 9, so it will drive the remaining bevel gears 9 to make the second rotating rod 10 rotate synchronously, and the setting of the bearing 11 ensures the stability of the rotation of the second rotating rod 10. When the second rotating rod 10 rotates, it will drive the reciprocating screw 12 to rotate synchronously The reciprocating screw 12 will drive the moving block 13 to rotate synchronously, and the moving block 13 is used to slide with the guide rod 14, so the moving block 13 will be limited axially, and the rotation of the moving block 13 will be converted into horizontal linear movement. The four moving blocks 13 will move toward each other, thereby driving the synchronous movement of the slide rod 15, and the slide rod 15 will drive the extrusion block 16 to move synchronously to extrude the dough. The multi-directional extrusion makes the kneading effect of the dough more sufficient, and then the position of the extrusion block 16 can be restored by the rotation of the reciprocating screw 12. When the position of the extrusion block 16 is restored, the second electric telescopic rod 4 can drive the extrusion hammer 5 to hammer the dough again, thereby forming an efficient and continuous kneading cycle. The whole kneading process is repeated under the alternating action of extrusion and hammering until the dough reaches the ideal state.
