On the one hand, the extrusion components of existing equipment mostly use a single direct current pipeline structure, which is not conducive to the uniform extrusion of gluten and may cause gluten stratification, affecting the uniformity and quality of the product. On the other hand, the extrusion pipeline is usually spliced ​​together from multiple parts, and the joints are prone to loosening or leakage, making maintenance work more cumbersome.

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] The embodiment of the present utility model discloses a gluten production equipment, including a gluten extrusion and molding mechanism 1, a gluten cutting mechanism 2, a gluten automatic rotation mechanism 3 and a finished product transportation mechanism 4; the gluten production process is to first extrude the gluten into strips by the gluten extrusion and molding mechanism 1, and then cut the gluten extruded into strips into gluten blocks of equal length by the gluten cutting mechanism 2; then place the gluten blocks on the gluten automatic rotation mechanism 3, so that the gluten is rotated into a roll to form a gluten finished product; the rolled finished product will fall on the finished product transportation mechanism 4, and will be transported to the packaging line by the finished product transportation mechanism 4 to complete the packaging operation.

[0029] This embodiment will explain the gluten extrusion forming mechanism 1 in detail. Figures 1 to 4This embodiment discloses a gluten extrusion molding mechanism 1, comprising an extrusion assembly 11, a conveying assembly 12, and a power assembly 13. In this embodiment, there are two extrusion assemblies 11, both of which are connected to the conveying assembly 12, thereby improving the efficiency of gluten extrusion molding. Of course, it is easy to understand that in other embodiments, the number of extrusion assemblies 11 is at least one.

[0030] Furthermore, a curved flow channel is formed in the extrusion assembly 11 of this embodiment; the conveying assembly 12 includes a conveying housing 14 and a driving element 15 arranged in the conveying housing 14, the conveying housing 14 is used to accommodate the gluten dough, the output end of the conveying housing 14 is connected to the flow channel, and the conveying assembly 12 is used to provide thrust to make the gluten dough flow into the flow channel in the conveying housing 14; the output end of the power assembly 13 is fixedly connected to the driving element 15, and is used to drive the driving element 15 to rotate to generate thrust that can push the gluten dough to flow into the flow channel in the conveying housing 14. In other words, the gluten extrusion molding mechanism 1 of the present application is equipped with a conveying assembly 12 and a power assembly 13. The conveying housing 14 in the conveying assembly 12 can accommodate the gluten dough and provide the necessary thrust through the driving element 15, so that the gluten dough flows into the flow channel in a more orderly manner, while the power assembly 13 generates thrust through the rotation of the driving element 15, ensuring efficient gluten transportation. The entire process does not require long-term manual intervention and has a high degree of automation, which not only greatly improves production efficiency but also reduces equipment failures and cost increases caused by poor maintenance. In addition, the gluten extrusion molding mechanism 1 of the present application also adopts an extrusion component 11, and the internal flow channel of the extrusion component 11 is arranged in a curved manner, which cleverly fills the pressure conversion and flow control during the gluten molding process, thereby improving the consistency of food texture and appearance, effectively improving the uniformity of gluten during the extrusion process, and avoiding the stratification problem of gluten during the extrusion process due to a single straight line flow, thereby improving the uniformity and quality of the product.

[0031] Specifically, the extrusion assembly 11 of this embodiment is composed of two S-shaped extrusion pipes 16 spliced ​​end to end in sequence, and the curvature of the extrusion pipe 16 is S-shaped. The internal flow channel in the extrusion assembly 11 is arranged in a curved manner, forming a unique S-shaped pipe layout. This means that when the gluten material is extruded, the material can undergo complex curved motion inside the pipe, thereby achieving more refined morphological control and texture shaping. This design can not only enhance the diversity and complexity of gluten forming, but also improve the elasticity and taste of the gluten. It is easy to understand that in other embodiments, the extrusion assembly 11 should include at least one curved extrusion pipe 16. Of course, in other embodiments, the curved shape of the extrusion pipe 16 can be diversified and is not limited to the S-shape. A spiral or broken line layout may also be adopted to adapt to more specific process requirements.

[0032] Furthermore, the flow channel of the extrusion assembly 11 of this embodiment has a circular cross-section, and its cross-sectional area gradually decreases from the output end of the conveying housing 14 toward the output end. This design effectively improves the density and firmness of the gluten, ensuring uniform compression of the gluten during the extrusion process and significantly preventing uneven gluten cell distribution, thereby significantly improving the taste and appearance of the gluten product. This precise control not only solves the problem of uneven distribution of gluten molecular structure that is common in traditional extrusion molding processes, but also maintains the gluten's desired elasticity and fineness.

[0033] Furthermore, the conveying housing 14 of this embodiment is tubular in shape, with a feed port formed in the wall of the conveying housing 14 and a discharge port formed at one end of the conveying housing 14, which is sealed and connected to the flow channel. The driving element 15 is a screw rod, which is rotatably arranged within the conveying housing 14 along the axial direction, and one end of the screw rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the power assembly 13. The power assembly 13 includes a drive motor 17 and a reducer 18, and the drive motor 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw rod via the reducer 18. The conveying assembly 12 also includes a feed hopper 19, which is fixedly mounted on the wall of the conveying housing 14 and is sealed and connected to the feed port.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] As another embodiment of the present invention, different from the first embodiment, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the gluten extrusion molding mechanism 1 of this embodiment further includes a support platform 110, which includes a platform body 111 and a cover 112. The cover 112 is rotatably connected to the top of the platform body 111 via a hinge 113. The conveying assembly 12 and the power assembly 13 are both fixedly mounted on the cover 112. The gluten extrusion molding mechanism 1 also includes an electric push rod 114, one end of which is rotatably connected to the platform body 111, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the cover 112. The electric push rod 114 can drive the cover 112 to open or close relative to the platform body 111. When gluten production is completed, the entire gluten extrusion molding mechanism 1 needs to be cleaned. If the gluten extrusion molding mechanism 1 remains horizontally arranged, the water connected to the water pipe through the extrusion pipe 16 during backwashing will carry sticky gluten residue and contact the rotating connection between the screw rod and the conveying housing 14, thereby affecting the tightness of the connection and reducing the smoothness of the rotation of the connection. By pushing up the box cover 112 through the electric push rod 114, the rotation connection between the screw rod and the conveying shell 14 will also rise upward, ensuring that the rotation connection between the screw rod and the conveying shell 14 is always above the water surface during the backwashing process, thereby ensuring that the rotation connection between the screw rod and the conveying shell 14 is not affected by the backwashing; at the same time, the drainage after cleaning is also smoother, and no water will accumulate on the inner bottom surface of the conveying shell 14.
