Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of food processing machinery and equipment, in particular to a shaped glutinous rice ball forming device. Background Art

[0002] Yuanbao glutinous rice balls are shaped like ingots. In industrial production, they are molded from standard spherical glutinous rice balls. Current commercial pastry forming equipment typically operates in a single-head, single-station process. The production process for Yuanbao glutinous rice balls using this equipment is as follows: spherical glutinous rice balls are first formed, then individually molded into the glutinous rice balls. These are then plated using a plating machine, and finally frozen / fried before packaging.

[0003] The problems existing in the existing technology are: first, for molding a single glutinous rice ball, the maximum production speed of the equipment with good molding effect on the market can only reach 80 products per minute, and for glutinous rice ball products with relatively sticky fabrics and fillings, there are also shortcomings such as poor demoulding effect, flashing, and difficulty in secondary transportation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a shaped glutinous rice ball forming device to solve the technical problems of low production efficiency, poor demoulding effect, flash phenomenon and difficulty in secondary transportation when producing Yuanbao glutinous rice balls with existing equipment.

[0005] To this end, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions for a shaped glutinous rice ball forming device:

[0006] The conveyor belt is provided with a front end for feeding materials and a rear end for feeding materials out, and a powder sprinkling mechanism is provided on the frame above the conveyor belt, and a forming lower mold and a powder blowing mechanism are sequentially provided on the frame from front to rear behind the conveyor belt. A transfer module is slidably provided on the frame, and the transfer module is suspended above the forming lower mold, and a transfer part and a forming upper mold are installed on the transfer module. The transfer part is used to transfer the supported glutinous rice balls transported on the conveyor belt to the forming lower mold, and the forming upper mold can be lifted and lowered relative to the transfer module to mold the supported glutinous rice balls in the forming lower mold; the shape of the forming lower mold is adapted to the shape of the glutinous rice ball tray, and the number, position and size of the mold cores of the forming upper mold all correspond to the number, position and size of the glutinous rice ball placement slots in the glutinous rice ball tray so that all the glutinous rice balls in the glutinous rice ball tray can be molded at the same time when pressing down.

[0007] Furthermore, the shape of the mold core in the upper molding mold is a gold ingot shape that can be used to mold the glutinous rice balls into the appearance of a gold ingot.

[0008] Furthermore, the molding upper mold includes a mold core and a mold base, and the mold core and the mold base are integrally molded.

[0009] Furthermore, the molding upper mold includes a mold core and a mold base, and the mold core is detachably installed in the mold base.

[0010] Furthermore, the mold core is provided with convex marks that can press out patterns or words on the glutinous rice balls.

[0011] Furthermore, the mold base is provided with protruding cutting edges around the mold core, and the cutting edges are used to cut off the burrs around the glutinous rice balls after pressing.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of guide posts are provided on the lower forming mold, and a corresponding number of guide holes are provided on the upper forming mold. The guide posts are tapered with a thin top and a thick bottom to guide the upper forming mold during the falling process. The upper forming mold includes a base part and a mold head, and the mold head can float relative to the base part.

[0013] Furthermore, the transfer part and the upper forming mold are both fixed on the transfer module, the transfer module can move back and forth on the frame, and the front end of the transfer module can be moved to just above the rear end of the conveyor belt so that the transfer part can move and clamp the glutinous rice balls with trays conveyed to the rear end of the conveyor belt.

[0014] Furthermore, the powder blowing mechanism is a powder blowing air nozzle, and its length is adapted to the length of the glutinous rice ball tray.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0016] The utility model can be connected to a glutinous rice ball forming machine. The glutinous rice balls with trays produced by the glutinous rice ball forming machine are directly fed into the utility model. After being transported by a conveyor belt and transferred by a transfer part, the glutinous rice balls with trays are placed in a lower forming mold. Then, the upper forming mold is pressed down to press the entire box of glutinous rice balls into shape at one time, thus solving the problem of low forming speed of existing forming equipment. At the same time, after the glutinous rice balls with trays are once formed in the tray box, they are directly fed into the quick-freezing tunnel, avoiding the risk of secondary deformation of the formed products caused by secondary transportation.

[0017] Furthermore, the method of first sprinkling dry powder on the top of the glutinous rice balls through a powder sprinkling mechanism, then molding, cutting off the flash while molding, and finally blowing away the excess dry powder and flash on the top of the glutinous rice balls can solve the problem of the flash being unable to be removed and the difficulty of demoulding in the prior art.

[0023] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention, which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention, and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0024] In this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.

[0025] An embodiment of a shaped glutinous rice ball forming device of the utility model:

[0026] The specific structure of a shaped glutinous rice ball forming device of the utility model is as follows Figures 1 to 2As shown, it includes a frame 1, on which a conveyor belt 10 is installed. The conveyor belt 10 includes a front end for material inflow and a rear end for material outflow. The front end of the conveyor belt 10 is connected to the glutinous rice ball forming machine so that the glutinous rice balls 8 with trays produced by the glutinous rice ball forming machine can be conveyed to the conveyor belt 10. A powder sprinkling mechanism 3 is provided on the frame 1 above the conveyor belt 10, and a lower mold 4 for forming ingots and a powder blowing mechanism 5 are provided on the frame 1 behind the conveyor belt 10 in sequence from front to back. A transfer module 2 is also provided on the frame 1, and the transfer module 2 is suspended above the lower mold 4 for forming ingots and the powder blowing mechanism 5. The powder sprinkling mechanism 3 is used to sprinkle dry powder on the upper part of the glutinous rice balls with trays 8 to prevent them from being difficult to demold after molding. The powder blowing mechanism 5 is used to blow away excess dry powder adhering to the glutinous rice balls with trays 8 after molding to ensure the taste and appearance of the finished glutinous rice balls.

[0027] The transfer module 2 is equipped with a transfer part 9 and an ingot forming upper mold 6, wherein the ingot forming upper mold 6 is located behind the transfer part 9. The transfer module 2 as a whole is guided to move in the front and rear directions relative to the frame 1, and the relative position between the ingot forming upper mold 6 and the transfer part 9 is fixed to achieve synchronous movement of the two.

[0028] The transfer module 2 can move forward and backward relative to the frame 1 by combining the guide structure (such as the guide rail slider structure) and the linear drive part (such as the electric push rod) disclosed in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here.

[0029] The transfer part 9 includes a clamping head that can clamp the outside of the tray box with the glutinous rice balls 8, and a cylinder that drives the clamping head to open and close. When the clamping head moves to correspond to the tray box with the glutinous rice balls 8, the clamping head closes to clamp the outside of the tray box with the glutinous rice balls 8. After the transfer part 9 transfers the glutinous rice balls 8 to the designated position, the clamping head is released, allowing the glutinous rice balls 8 to fall into the lower ingot forming mold 4 as a whole. After that, the transfer module 2 returns the transfer part 9 to its original position.

[0030] Before startup, the forming equipment is debugged so that when the transfer section 9 is in its original position, the upper ingot-forming die 6 is directly above the lower ingot-forming die 4. Therefore, after the transfer section 9 returns to its original position, the upper ingot-forming die 6, which moves synchronously with it, also returns directly above the lower ingot-forming die 4. At this point, pressing down on the upper ingot-forming die 6 will press the glutinous rice balls in the tray into the ingot shape. At the same time, the original position of the transfer section 9 is directly above the conveyor belt 10.

[0031] It's important to note that the dimensions of the lower ingot-forming mold 4 match the shape of the glutinous rice balls in the tray 8, allowing the tray to completely sink into it, except for the portion held by the clamping head. The number, position, and size of the mold cores in the upper ingot-forming mold 6 correspond exactly to the number, position, and size of the glutinous rice balls' placement slots in the tray. Therefore, as the upper ingot-forming mold 6 is pressed downward, it applies pressure to the upper portions of the glutinous rice balls placed in the slots, creating an ingot-shaped impression on the upper portions of the glutinous rice balls.

[0032] The upper die 6 for forming the ingots includes a die head and a base portion. The raising and lowering of the die head is driven by the forming cylinder 7. The forming cylinder 7 alone drives the die head of the upper die 6 for forming the ingots to move up and down, and does not drive the transfer portion 9 and the base portion to move up and down.

[0033] The upper die 6 for forming the ingots includes multiple die cores, which can be fixed or movable. Fixed means that the die core is integrally formed with the die base and cannot be replaced independently. Movable means that the die core is detachably mounted in the die base via bolts or other detachable connections, allowing the die core to be replaced as required. The requirements here generally refer to the need to emboss different patterns and words on the ingots, which requires corresponding convex marks on the die core.

[0034] In this embodiment, the powder blowing mechanism 5 is a powder blowing air nozzle, and its length is adapted to the length of the tray with the glutinous rice balls 8.

[0035] In this embodiment, the lower die 4 is provided with four guide posts, and the upper die 6 is provided with four guide holes. The guide posts are tapered and thin at the top and thick at the bottom to guide the upper die 6 during its descent, ensuring that the lower die 4 and the upper die 6 are completely aligned in the vertical direction during molding. It should be emphasized that the die head of the upper die 6 can float within a relatively small range relative to the base portion to achieve the effect of being straightened by the guide posts.

[0036] In this embodiment, the upper die 6 for forming the ingots is provided with cutting edges 61 protruding from the die core around each die core. During the pressing process of the upper die 6 for forming the ingots, the cutting edges 61 can remove the flash generated around the molded product due to the pressing. The powder blowing mechanism 5 can also blow away the flash at the same time when blowing powder.

[0037] It is understandable that, in the present embodiment, the ingot forming upper die 6 and the ingot forming lower die 4 are for processing the ingot-shaped glutinous rice balls. In other embodiments, when producing glutinous rice balls of other shapes, the ingot forming upper die 6 and the ingot forming lower die 4 need to be replaced by the corresponding shaping upper die and shaping lower die.

[0038] The process of producing Yuanbao glutinous rice balls using the present invention is as follows: the glutinous rice ball forming machine transfers the produced glutinous rice balls 8 to the conveyor belt 10. The conveyor belt 10 is driven by a motor. When the glutinous rice balls 8 pass under the powder spreading mechanism 3, the tops of the glutinous rice balls 8 are evenly sprinkled with glutinous rice flour. The conveyor belt 10 then continues to drive the glutinous rice balls 8 forward. When the control system detects that the glutinous rice balls 8 have reached the bottom of the transfer part 9, it controls the conveyor belt 10 to stop rotating. At this time, the transfer part 9 starts working, clamping the outside of the tray of the glutinous rice balls 8. The transfer module 2 then drives the transfer part 9 to the top of the Yuanbao forming lower mold 4. At this time, the transfer part 9 releases the outside of the tray of the glutinous rice balls 8, and the glutinous rice balls 8 fall into the Yuanbao forming lower mold 4. Then the transfer module 2 drives the transfer part 9 to its original position. When the transfer part 9 returns to its original position, the upper mold 6 of the ingot forming is just corresponding to the lower mold 4 of the ingot forming. Then the molding cylinder 7 starts to press down and form according to the adjusted speed. While the molding cylinder 7 presses down and forms, the flash around the finished product is cut off. When the molding cylinder 7 is pressed into place, the molding is completed and the molding cylinder 7 starts to reset upward. Because the top of the glutinous rice balls with support have been sprinkled with powder by the powder sprinkling mechanism 3 in the previous step, the molding cylinder 7 can be smoothly demoulded when it moves upward. After the molding cylinder 7 is reset upward, the transfer module 2 drives the transfer part 9 to the lower mold 4 of the ingot forming, clamps the glutinous rice balls with support 8 after forming to the outside of the tray, and brings it to the powder blowing nozzle 5 through the transfer module 2 to release it. The control system controls the powder blowing nozzle 5 to start using filtered compressed air to remove excess powder and flash from the top of the glutinous rice balls with support 8. At this point, a complete molding process is completed.
