Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of steamed bun production, and particularly relates to a pastry forming machine for steamed bun production. Background Art
[0002] In modern society, with the accelerating pace of life and increasing demands for food safety and quality, the food processing industry, particularly staple food production, faces significant changes and challenges. As a traditional Chinese staple, steamed buns (steamed buns) continue to experience growing demand. However, traditional steamed bun production relies primarily on manual labor, a method with numerous significant drawbacks.
[0003] In the past, making steamed buns by hand was a labor-intensive process. From the initial mixing and kneading of flour to the kneading and shaping of the dough, each step required significant manpower and time. Furthermore, due to the subjectivity and variability of manual labor, it was difficult to ensure the consistency of quality and shape from one bun to another. Furthermore, manual production was extremely inefficient, making it difficult to meet large-scale market demand.
[0004] With the gradual development of food industry technology, some mechanized steamed bun production equipment has begun to enter the market. These include dough mixers, dough dividers, continuous dough presses, steamed bun forming machines, and platers. The steamed bun forming machine consists of a dough pressing and rolling unit, a cutting unit, and a large rounding conveyor belt. The large rounding conveyor belt moves the steamed buns along the conveyor belt, shaping them into round shapes and producing the steamed buns.
[0005] However, large-scale rounding conveyor belts often require a large area, which increases the cost of the equipment and is too expensive. Secondly, when the steamed buns are transported back and forth, they are prone to positional displacement, resulting in poor rounding effect and affecting the shape and quality of the steamed buns. Furthermore, this conveyor belt rounding method makes it difficult to accurately control the rounding force and speed of the steamed buns, resulting in uneven quality of the finished steamed buns. Moreover, due to the complex structure of the conveyor belt, maintenance and cleaning are more difficult, which increases the maintenance cost and time cost of the equipment. In addition, the existing steamed bun forming machines are not flexible and convenient in switching between the production of square steamed buns and round steamed buns, and often require cumbersome adjustments and modifications to the equipment, which reduces production efficiency and cannot respond to changes in market demand for steamed buns of different shapes in a timely manner.
[0006] To this end, we proposed a pastry forming machine for steamed bun production. This device can not only realize the production of square steamed buns and round steamed buns, but also reduce subsequent processes and reduce the floor space. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a pastry forming machine for steamed bun production. The device can not only realize the production of square steamed buns and round steamed buns, but also reduce subsequent processes and reduce the floor space.
[0008] The technical solutions adopted in this application are as follows:
[0009] A pastry forming machine for steamed bun production comprises a frame and a conveyor belt arranged on the frame, wherein the frame is provided with a dough pressing assembly, a dough rolling assembly, a cutting assembly and a rounding assembly in sequence from left to right;
[0010] The rounding assembly includes an L-shaped fixed plate arranged on the frame, and a first electric telescopic rod and a second electric telescopic rod are arranged on the L-shaped fixed plate. The telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod is installed with a first rounding plate, and the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod is installed with a second rounding plate. The first rounding plate and the second rounding plate have opposite movement trajectories, and the first rounding plate and the second rounding plate are symmetrically arranged. Multiple groups of rounding rollers are rotatably arranged on the side where the first rounding plate and the second rounding plate are close to each other, and the first rounding plate and the second rounding plate are both provided with through grooves for allowing the cut noodle blocks to pass through.
[0011] Furthermore, the noodle pressing assembly includes a first U-shaped support frame arranged on the frame body, a noodle pressing roller is arranged inside the first U-shaped support frame, a bracket is installed on the frame body, and a conveying roller is arranged on the bracket.
[0012] Furthermore, the rolling assembly includes a second bracket, on which a rolling roller is rotatably provided.
[0013] Furthermore, the cutting assembly includes a second U-shaped support frame arranged on the frame body, and a third electric telescopic rod is provided on the second U-shaped support frame. The telescopic end of the third electric telescopic rod passes through the second U-shaped support frame and is installed with a mounting plate, and a cutting knife is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate.
[0014] Furthermore, a fixing rod is provided on one side of the second U-shaped support frame, and a conical supporting cylinder for supporting flour is provided on the fixing rod. A conical block is provided at the discharge port of the conical supporting cylinder, and the conical block is connected to the mounting plate through a third bracket.
[0015] Furthermore, a diverter block is provided on the top of the conical block.
[0016] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are:
[0017] First, the dough is transported to the noodle pressing assembly via a conveyor belt, and the noodle pressing assembly makes the dough form a dough sheet of the desired thickness. Then the conveyor belt transports the dough sheet to the noodle rolling assembly, and the noodle rolling assembly makes the dough sheet be rolled into a long noodle. Then the long noodle is cut by the cutting assembly to form a square steamed bun. When round steamed buns are needed, the rounding assembly is started, and the square steamed bun passes through the through slot and enters between the first rounding plate and the second rounding plate. Then the first electric telescopic rod and the second electric telescopic rod are started, and the first electric telescopic rod and the second electric telescopic rod drive the first rounding plate and the second rounding plate to reciprocate. In this process, multiple sets of rounding rollers on the first rounding plate and the second rounding plate begin to contact the dough block. Because the rounding rollers rotate, friction is generated between them and the dough block as the rounding plates move, causing the dough block to roll and gradually round. Furthermore, because the first and second rounding plates move in opposite directions, the forces they exert on the dough block interact, allowing the dough block to be rounded more evenly and quickly into a steamed bun shape. After the steamed buns are rounded back and forth, the first and second rounding plates return to their original positions, and the round buns are transported by a conveyor belt through a slot for packaging. This device not only enables the production of both square and round steamed buns, but also reduces subsequent steps and floor space. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] In order to make the purpose and advantages of this utility more clear, the utility is described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific implementation methods of this utility and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically requested by this utility.
[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: a pastry forming machine for steamed bun production, comprising a frame 1 and a conveyor belt 2 arranged on the frame 1, and the frame 1 is provided with a dough pressing component, a dough rolling component, a cutting component and a rounding component from left to right;
[0026] The rounding assembly includes an L-shaped fixed plate 3 arranged on the frame 1, and a first electric telescopic rod 4 and a second electric telescopic rod 5 are arranged on the L-shaped fixed plate 3. The telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod 4 is installed with a first rounding plate 6, and the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod 5 is installed with a second rounding plate 7. The movement trajectories of the first rounding plate 6 and the second rounding plate 7 are opposite, and the first rounding plate 6 and the second rounding plate 7 are symmetrically arranged. Multiple groups of rounding rollers 8 are rotatably arranged on the side where the first rounding plate 6 and the second rounding plate 7 are close to each other, and the first rounding plate 6 and the second rounding plate 7 are both provided with through grooves 9 for allowing the cut dough blocks to pass through.
[0027] Among them, the noodle pressing assembly includes a first U-shaped support frame 10 arranged on the frame 1, a noodle pressing pin is arranged inside the first U-shaped support frame 10, a bracket is installed on the frame 1, and a conveying roller 11 is arranged on the bracket. The noodles are transported to the conveyor through the conveying roller 11, and then squeezed against the rolling surface of the noodle pressing pin to squeeze the noodles into the desired thickness, and then transported to the next process through the conveyor belt 2.
[0028] Furthermore, the dough rolling pin is driven by a first motor (not shown in the figure), which belongs to the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0029] At the same time, the noodle rolling assembly includes a second bracket 12, on which a noodle rolling roller 13 is rotatably provided. The noodle rolling roller 13 is supported by the second bracket 12, and then rotates to roll the noodle sheet into shape, thereby forming a long strip of noodles.
[0030] Furthermore, the design of the rolling roller 13 complies with the specifications of the existing technology, and the inclination angle and speed can be adjusted. It is driven by a second motor (not shown in the figure), which belongs to the existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0031] The cutting assembly includes a second U-shaped support frame 14 arranged on the frame 1, and a third electric telescopic rod 15 is arranged on the second U-shaped support frame 14. The telescopic end of the third electric telescopic rod 15 passes through the second U-shaped support frame 14 and is installed with a mounting plate 16. A cutting knife 17 is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 16. The mounting plate 16 is driven by the third electric telescopic rod 15 to move the cutting knife 17 downward, thereby cutting the long noodles into square steamed buns.
[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, a fixed rod is provided on one side of the second U-shaped support frame 14, and a conical supporting cylinder 18 for supporting flour is provided on the fixed rod. A conical block 19 is provided at the discharge port of the conical supporting cylinder 18, and the conical block 19 is connected to the mounting plate 16 through a third bracket 20.
[0033] When the mounting plate 16 moves upward after being cut, it drives the third bracket 20 to move the conical block 19 upward, thereby creating a flow gap between the conical block 19 and the conical supporting cylinder 18. The flour wind is discharged through the flow gap, thereby sprinkling flour on the bottom of the steamed buns to prevent sticking during subsequent balling or packaging.
[0034] A diverter block 21 is provided on the top of the conical block 19, and the diverter block 21 can guide the flour to prevent the flour from being blocked.
[0035] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: first, the dough is transported to the noodle pressing assembly by the conveyor belt 2, and the dough pressing assembly makes the dough form a dough sheet of the desired thickness. Then, the conveyor belt 2 transports the dough sheet to the noodle rolling assembly, and the dough sheet is rolled and formed into a long noodle by the noodle rolling assembly. Then, the long noodle is cut by the cutting assembly to form a square steamed bun. When round steamed buns are needed, the rounding assembly is started, and the square steamed bun passes through the through slot 9 and enters between the first rounding plate 6 and the second rounding plate 7. Then, the first electric telescopic rod 4 and the second electric telescopic rod 5 are started, and the first electric telescopic rod 4 and the second electric telescopic rod 5 drive the first rounding plate 6 and the second rounding plate 7 to reciprocate. In this process, the multiple groups of rounding rollers 8 on the first rounding plate 6 and the second rounding plate 7 begin to contact the dough block. Because the rounding roller 8 is rotatable, friction is generated between the roller 8 and the dough block as the rounding plate moves, causing the dough block to roll and gradually round. Furthermore, because the first rounding plate 6 and the second rounding plate 7 move in opposite directions, the forces they exert on the dough block interact, allowing the dough block to be rounded more evenly and quickly into the shape of a steamed bun. After the steamed buns have been rounded back and forth, the first rounding plate 6 and the second rounding plate 7 return to their original positions, and the round steamed buns are transported by the conveyor belt 2 out of the through slot 9 for packaging. This device not only enables the production of square and round steamed buns, but also reduces subsequent steps and the floor space required.
[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this application shall be implemented in accordance with conventional means in the art unless otherwise specified or limited.
