Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of noodle production, in particular to a bending mechanism used for noodle production. Background Art

[0002] Noodles are made by grinding grain or bean flour into a dough with water. The dough is then pressed, rolled, stretched, or cut into sheets, or kneaded, pulled, or pinched into strips (narrow or wide, flat or round) or small flakes. The noodles are then boiled, stir-fried, stewed, or deep-fried. During processing, the noodles are formed into strips. To facilitate packaging, they are folded and bent in half to reduce their length and make them easier to pack.

[0003] After most noodles are processed, they are transported along a conveyor belt in the form of thin strips. The noodles that have just been processed are relatively soft. Usually, workers take the noodles off the conveyor belt, manually fold and bend them, and then place them on designated storage containers. However, in order to ensure production, the conveyor belt must be transported at a high speed due to manual folding and bending. Therefore, multiple workers are required to bend the noodles on the conveyor belt, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources and has low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0025] The following will be combined with the accompanying 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.

[0026] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a bending mechanism for noodle production includes a frame 1 and a first conveyor belt mechanism 2 arranged at the upper end of the frame 1, a controller 3 is provided on one side of the frame 1, a driving source of the first conveyor belt mechanism 2 is electrically connected to the controller 3, a support plate 4 is provided at the lower end of the frame 1, and a bending component for bending noodles that cooperates with the output end of the first conveyor belt mechanism 2 is provided at the upper end of the support plate 4.

[0027] Furthermore, the bending assembly includes a second conveyor belt mechanism 5 slidably arranged on the upper end of the support plate 4 and an electric push rod 9 fixedly arranged on the lower end of the support plate 4. The lower end of the bracket of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 is provided with a fixed plate 7. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate 7. A pressure sensor 8 squeezed by the bracket of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 is provided on the inner side of the frame 1. The driving source of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 is electrically connected to the controller 3. The pressure sensor 8 is electrically connected to the controller 3. The telescopic speed of the electric push rod 9 is the same as the operating speed of the first conveyor belt mechanism 2. When in use, the noodles just processed pass through the first conveyor belt mechanism 2 and move to the side of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5. At this time, the noodles are in a soft state (refer to the appendix of the instruction manual). Figure 1 and instructions attached Figure 2), the first conveyor belt mechanism 2 drives the noodles to move to the left, and the electric push rod 9 contracts to drive the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 to move to the right. When the bracket of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 squeezes the pressure sensor 8, the pressure sensor 8 feeds back a signal to the controller 3, and the controller 3 controls the driving source of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 to stop, that is, the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 stops running. At this time, the electric push rod 9 contracts and drives the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 to move to the right, which will cause the noodles to spread on the conveyor belt of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5. Then the electric push rod 9 extends again to drive the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 to move to the left, and the electric push rod 9 drives the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 to move to the left. During the leftward movement of the conveyor belt mechanism 5, the bracket of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 is kept from being separated from the pressure sensor 8. The second conveyor belt mechanism 5 moves back and forth left and right, so that the noodles are folded and spread on the conveyor belt of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5, achieving the effect of bending the noodles. After each group of noodles is bent, the electric push rod 9 is extended to drive the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 to move to the left and reset. At this time, the pressure sensor 8 is released from the squeezing, that is, the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 starts to run, so that the bent noodles pass through the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 and run to the left, which is convenient for the staff to collect at the output end of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5.

[0028] Furthermore, a scraper 12 for scraping the lower end surface of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5 is connected to one side of the fixed plate 7 through a fixed rod 11. A collection box 10 for collecting debris is movably provided through the middle of the fixed plate 7. The fixed plate 7 is provided with a sliding cavity for sliding the collection box 10. A fixing part for fixing the collection box 10 is provided on one side of the fixed plate 7. During the operation of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5, the scraper 12 scrapes the conveyor belt surface of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5, effectively preventing debris from remaining on the conveyor belt surface of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5, and the scraped debris falls into the collection box 10, which is convenient for the staff to clean up.

[0029] Furthermore, the fixing part includes an installation groove provided on the inner wall of the sliding cavity and a block 15 slidingly provided inside the installation groove. A pull rod 14 is movably provided through the inner wall of the installation groove. One end of the pull rod 14 is fixedly connected to the block 15. The block 15 is connected to the inner wall of the installation groove through a spring 16. A groove 13 cooperating with the block 15 is provided on the side wall of the collection box 10. When the collection box 10 slides into the installation along the sliding cavity, the block 15 is clamped into the groove 13 under the reset action of the spring 16, thereby achieving the effect of automatically fixing the collection box 10. When the collection box 10 needs to be removed, the staff only needs to pull the pull rod 14 to disengage the block 15 from the groove 13, and then the collection box 10 can be slid out.

[0030] Furthermore, a drying mechanism 6 for drying noodles is fixedly provided at the upper end of the bracket of the second conveyor belt mechanism 5. The drying mechanism 6 is electrically connected to the controller 3 so that when the bent noodles are transported by the second conveyor belt mechanism 5, they pass under the drying mechanism 6, thereby effectively drying the noodles.

[0031] Furthermore, a ball is rotatably embedded in one side of the clamping block 15 and is in rolling contact with the side wall of the collecting box 10 . The friction resistance of the collecting box 10 during the sliding process is effectively avoided through the rolling contact of the ball.

[0032] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
