[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a bread flattening device includes a conveyor assembly, the conveyor assembly including a conveyor belt 11, and a flattening assembly mounted on the conveyor assembly. The flattening assembly includes a first connecting assembly, a second connecting assembly 4, and an extrusion assembly 35. The first and second connecting assemblies 4 are mounted on the conveyor assembly, and the extrusion assembly 35 is connected below the first and second connecting assemblies 4. A certain gap is provided between the extrusion assembly 35 and the conveyor belt 11. The height of the extrusion assembly 35 below the first and second connecting assemblies 4 is adjustable. Adjusting the height of the extrusion assembly below the first and second connecting assemblies adjusts the gap between the extrusion assembly and the conveyor belt accordingly. The distance between the ends of the extrusion assembly and the conveyor belt is adjusted based on the size of the bread dough being fed and the desired height of the bread. The extrusion assembly 35 includes an extrusion conveyor belt 352, which is tilted from high to low along the conveyor belt 11's conveying direction. The extrusion conveyor belt 352's conveying direction aligns with the conveyor belt 11's conveying direction.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor assembly includes a main frame 1, a conveyor belt 11, and support legs 12. The main frame 1 is positioned on both sides of the conveyor belt 11, and the support legs 12 are positioned below the main frame 1. The first and second connecting assemblies 4 are mounted on the main frame 1. A rotary motor drives the conveyor belt. The conveyor assembly also includes conventional components such as a driving pulley and a driven pulley at each end of the conveyor belt.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting assembly and the second connecting assembly 4 have the same structure. The first connecting assembly includes a first bracket 31, a first adjustment rod 32, a second adjustment rod 33 and a third adjustment rod 34 provided on the first bracket 31. The first bracket 31 is mounted on the main fixing frame 1.

[0026] like Figure 3As shown, the first bracket 31 is arranged on the main fixed frame 1, and is provided with a first mounting hole 311, a second mounting hole 312, and a third mounting hole 313. The first adjusting rod 32, the second adjusting rod 33, and the third adjusting rod 34 are connected to the connecting bracket 354 after passing through the first bracket 31. The first adjusting rod 32 is threadedly connected to the first mounting hole 311 and contacts one side of the connecting bracket 354. The third adjusting rod 34 is threadedly connected to the third mounting hole 313 and contacts the other side of the connecting bracket 354. The second adjusting rod 33 is threadedly connected to the screw sleeve 333, which is engaged with the second mounting hole 312. The second adjusting rod 33 is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting bracket 354. The outer shape of the screw sleeve 333 is adapted to the shape of the second mounting hole 312, so that the screw sleeve cannot rotate within the second mounting hole, but can be slightly tilted up and down.

[0027] The second adjustment rod is fixedly connected to the connecting bracket at its lower end. The second adjustment rod maintains the flattening assembly above the conveyor belt and primarily controls the spacing between the extrusion assembly and the conveyor belt. The second adjustment rod comprises a rotating wheel 331, a screw 332, and a threaded sleeve 333. Screw 332 and sleeve 333 are threadedly connected. Rotating the rotating wheel 331 controls the rotation of the screw within the sleeve, thereby controlling the vertical height of the extrusion assembly. The first and third adjustment rods are located on the left and right sides of the connecting bracket. Rotating the first and third adjustment rods slightly adjusts the left and right tilt of the extrusion assembly, thereby maintaining parallelism between the extrusion conveyor belt and the conveyor belt.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the extrusion assembly 35 includes a first fixed frame 351, an extrusion conveyor belt 352, a second fixed frame 353, a connecting bracket 354, and a motor 355. The extrusion conveyor belt 352 is positioned between the first fixed frame 351 and the second fixed frame 353. The connecting brackets 354 are positioned at both ends of the extrusion assembly 35 and are connected to the first and second connecting assemblies, respectively. The motor 355 drives the extrusion conveyor belt 352 to rotate. The first and second fixed frames 351 and 353 protrude from the surface of the extrusion conveyor belt 352 to prevent the bread dough from leaking out of the sides during transport. After the extrusion assembly is adjusted in height by the first and second connecting assemblies, the motor drives the extrusion conveyor belt to rotate. When the bread dough enters under the extrusion conveyor belt, the conveyor belt transports it forward. The extrusion conveyor belt rotates in the same direction as the conveyor belt. As the bread dough is transported forward, it is clamped by the extrusion conveyor belt and the conveyor belt. The extrusion conveyor belt is tilted above the conveyor belt, gradually compressing the bread dough until it reaches the adjusted height when it is transported from the end of the extrusion conveyor belt.

[0029] In this utility model, the height of the extruder assembly above the conveyor belt is controlled by rotating the second adjustment lever on the first and second connecting assemblies. The required height adjustment is determined by the height of the bread dough being fed and the height required for subsequent processing. The feed port is located in front of the extruder assembly. The distance between the extruder belt and the conveyor belt at the feed port is greater than the maximum height of the bread dough being fed. The discharge port is located behind the extruder assembly. The distance between the extruder belt and the conveyor belt at the discharge port is equal to the required height of the bread dough.

[0030] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field may make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of the present invention, and the scope of patent protection of the present invention shall be defined by the claims.
