Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of meatball production equipment, in particular to a meatball production device capable of making meatballs round. Background Art

[0002] Meatballs are a popular Chinese food, primarily round in shape. During production, they are squeezed out of an extruder and dropped into a water tank where they are heated and formed. During this heating and forming process, the water temperature can vary slightly, resulting in uneven water temperature. This can cause some meatballs to become deformed, resulting in irregular, round shapes. Some meatballs may even be ellipsoidal, which can easily lead consumers to mistrust the quality control of the meatballs when purchasing. Furthermore, the uniform round shape of each meatball not only adds visual appeal to the dish but also minimizes differences in taste between the individual meatballs. To address this issue, we propose a meatball production device that can produce perfectly round meatballs. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and to provide a meatball production device that can make meatballs round.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Combined with attachment Figure 1 To the attached Figure 5 As shown, a meatball production device capable of making meatballs round includes a meatball extruder 20 and a water tank 30. The meatball extruder 20 is arranged at one end of the water tank 30. The water tank 30 is provided with a sloshing mechanism 10 below the extrusion nozzle 21 of the meatball extruder 20. The sloshing mechanism 10 is used to balance the water temperature below the extrusion nozzle 21 and to round the freshly extruded meatballs.

[0021] Combined with attachment Figure 1 and attached Figure 2 As shown, the shaking mechanism 10 includes a lifting frame 11, and a ring-shaped shaking frame 12 is provided in the lifting frame 11. The left plate 111 and the right plate 112 of the lifting frame 11 are both provided with connecting rod seats 13. The connecting rod seat at the left plate 111 and the connecting rod seat at the right plate 112 are arranged opposite to each other. A driven connecting rod 14 is hinged between the connecting rod seat 13 and the shaking frame 12. A driving motor 15 is installed at the crossbeam 113 of the lifting frame 11, and the output end of the driving motor 15 is connected to an active connecting rod 16, which is hinged to the shaking frame 12. The extrusion nozzle of the meatball extruder 20 is facing the shaking frame 12. When the shaking frame 12 is shaken horizontally in a circular motion, the meatballs extruded by the extrusion nozzle 21 always fall into the shaking frame 12.

[0022] When the meatballs are extruded from the extrusion nozzle 21 of the meatball extruder 20 and fall into the water tank 30, the shaking frame 12 performs horizontal circular shaking, which can quickly make the water temperature around the meatballs that have just fallen into the water tank 30 uniform, avoiding large temperature differences in the water temperature at different locations around the meatballs and preventing local deformation of the meatballs due to uneven heating. Because the shaking frame 12 is specifically annular, when the shaking frame 12 contacts the meatballs, the inner wall of the shaking frame 12 can relieve the contact force with the meatballs, allowing the meatballs to roll along the inner wall of the shaking frame 12, thereby preventing the meatballs from being deformed due to excessive external force.

[0023] Specifically, the ratio of the outer diameter of the extrusion nozzle 21 of the meatball extruder 20 to the inner diameter of the shaking frame 12 is 1:7-10. According to tests, within this ratio range, the shaking frame 12 can accommodate more meatballs while maintaining the technical effect of a balanced water temperature.

[0024] Combined with attachment Figure 2 and attached Figure 5 As shown, the flange portion 121 of the rocking frame 12 is provided with a first hinge point 1211, a second hinge point 1212, and a third hinge point 1213, spaced evenly apart. The first hinge point 1211 is hinged to the active link 16, the second hinge point 1212 is hinged to the passive link 14 on the left side panel 111, and the third hinge point 1213 is hinged to the passive link 14 on the right side panel 112. The active link 16 and the passive link 14 are of equal length. The drive motor 15 drives the rocking frame 12 via the active link 16. With the cooperation of the two passive links 14, the rocking frame 12 can rock in a circular direction.

[0025] Combined with attachment Figure 3 and attached Figure 4 As shown, lift rod seats 17 are fixedly mounted on both sides of the inner wall of the water tank 30. Lift rod members 18 are fixedly mounted on the lift rod seats 17. Sliding bearing seats 19 are fixedly mounted on the lifting frame 11. Sliding bearing seats 19 are provided with sliding bearings that cooperate with the lifting rod members 18. Sliding bearing seats 19 are mounted on the inner wall of the side panels of the lift rod seats 17.

[0026] A lifting drive cylinder 40 is provided on both sides of the lifting frame 11 . The cylinder body 41 of the lifting drive cylinder 40 is hinged to the outer wall of the water tank 30 , and the telescopic rod 42 of the lifting drive cylinder 40 is hinged to the hinge shaft 114 of the lifting frame 11 .

[0027] As attached Figure 3 As shown, when the telescopic rod 42 of the lifting drive cylinder 40 is in the retracted state, the lower half of the shaking frame 12 is immersed under the water surface of the water tank 30, and the meatballs are imprisoned by the shaking frame 12. Figure 4 As shown, when the telescopic rod 42 of the lifting drive cylinder 40 is in the extended state, the lower half of the shaking frame 12 leaves the water surface, and the shaking frame 12 is not restricted by the shaking frame 12 and can drift to the other end of the water tank 30.
