Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of food processing, in particular to a raw material cooling and supplying device of an imitation lobster steak forming machine. Background Art

[0002] Imitation lobster steaks are foods that mimic the shape of a lobster. They are commonly used in hot pot dishes and are widely popular with consumers. The ingredients for these steaks primarily include an outer layer of fish paste, an inner layer of filling, and a coloring paste. The coloring paste is used to create the lines on the product's surface. Patent application publication number CN111109513A discloses an imitation lobster steak and its production method.

[0003] The traditional processing equipment of imitation lobster steak uses a raw material supply device to send the outer layer of fish paste wrapping, the inner layer of filling and color paste from three raw material storage tanks to a mixing tank. Figure 1 The raw material supply device includes a raw material storage tank 21, a raw material conveying pipe 22, a feed blade 23, a transmission shaft 24, a feed drive assembly 25 and a mixing tank 26. The bottom of the raw material storage tank 21 is connected to the top of the mixing tank 26 through the raw material conveying pipe 22. The mixing tank 26 is fixedly arranged on the frame 1. The feed blade 23 is located inside the raw material storage tank 21. The feed blade 23 is fixedly arranged at the lower end of the transmission shaft 24. The upper end of the transmission shaft 24 is connected to the feed drive assembly 25. The three raw material storage tanks 21 are respectively used to store the outer layer of fish paste foreskin, the inner layer of filling and color paste.

[0004] The long strips of material are discharged from the bottom of the mixing tank 6, then pass through the pipe 8 with a channel similar to the shape of a lobster body, and finally fall into the finished product boiling tank 5. After being boiled, they are shaped into long strips of imitation lobster steaks 91. Because the mixing tank is stationary, it is difficult for the color paste to form spaced lines on the surface of the outer layer of fish paste after entering the mixing tank. The final imitation lobster steak has a pattern that is quite different from the lines of the lobster body. Figure 2 The staff uses a slotted spoon to move the long imitation lobster steak 91 to the chopper device 9, and manually uses the chopper device to cut the long imitation lobster steak into multiple small pieces of imitation lobster steak; the small pieces of imitation lobster steak are convenient for packaging and transportation, but the production efficiency of such manual cutting is very low.

[0005] Because the machines and equipment in the production workshop are prone to heat, the temperature in the production workshop is higher than normal temperature. The raw materials in the raw material storage tank are easily heated and lose their low-temperature gelation phenomenon. The final imitation lobster steak lacks elasticity and water retention, and the quality is poor. Utility Model Content

[0012] Furthermore, the valve is a manual ball valve.

[0013] Furthermore, the cooling enclosure is in the shape of a frustum that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The embodiment of the present utility model provides a raw material cooling and supply device for an imitation lobster steak forming machine, which overcomes the disadvantage in the background technology that the temperature in the production workshop is higher than room temperature and the raw materials in the raw material storage tank are easily heated and lose the low-temperature gelation phenomenon; it realizes the use of ice cubes to cool the raw material storage tank, and the raw materials produce low-temperature gelation phenomenon, which helps to increase the elasticity and water retention of the finished imitation lobster steak, and improves the quality of the finished imitation lobster steak.

[0034] The overall idea of ​​the technical solution of the embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

[0035] The raw material storage tank of the background technology is improved by adding a cooling panel, which surrounds the raw material storage tank, and ice cubes are placed between the cooling panel and the raw material storage tank. The water generated by the ice cubes absorbing heat is discharged outward through a drain pipe.

[0036] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 16 , a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] A raw material cooling and supply device for a lobster steak imitation forming machine, comprising:

[0039] Raw material storage tank 21, raw material delivery pipe 22, feed blade 23, transmission shaft 24, feed drive assembly 25, mixing tank 26, cooling enclosure 27, drain pipe 28 and valve 281;

[0040] The bottom of the raw material storage tank 21 is connected to the top of the mixing tank 26 via the raw material conveying pipe 22. The mixing tank 26 is fixedly mounted on a frame. The feed blade 23 is located inside the raw material storage tank 21. The feed blade 23 is fixedly mounted at the lower end of the transmission shaft 24. The upper end of the transmission shaft 24 is connected to the feed drive assembly 25.

[0041] The cooling panel 27 surrounds the raw material storage tank 21, and the bottom of the cooling panel 27 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the raw material storage tank 21. An ice cube insertion port is provided between the top of the cooling panel 27 and the top of the raw material storage tank 21. The bottom of the cooling panel 27 is connected to the drain pipe 28, and the valve 281 is installed on the drain pipe 28.

[0042] The beneficial effect of the above technical solution is that ice cubes are placed between the cooling panel 27 and the raw material storage tank 21, and the water generated by the ice cubes absorbing heat is discharged outward through the drain pipe 28. The production of ice cubes is simple, and the use of ice cubes to cool the raw material storage tank 21 causes the raw materials to produce low-temperature gelation, which helps to increase the elasticity and water retention of the finished imitation lobster fillet and improve the quality of the finished imitation lobster fillet.

[0043] The system also includes a temperature sensor 29 and an indicator light 291. The temperature sensor 29 is installed in the raw material delivery pipe 22, and the indicator light 291 is electrically connected to the temperature sensor 29. The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that the temperature sensor 29 detects the temperature of the raw material delivery pipe 22 and feeds it back to the indicator light 291. When the MCU inside the indicator light 291 detects that the temperature is higher than a preset temperature threshold, it indicates that there is insufficient ice in the cooling panel 27. At this time, the indicator light 291 emits red light to remind the staff to replenish ice.

[0044] The valve 281 is a manual ball valve.

[0045] The cooling enclosure 27 is in the shape of a frustum that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom.

[0046] The following is a detailed description of the application of the raw material cooling and supply device 2 to the imitation lobster steak forming machine.

[0047] A lobster steak imitation forming machine, comprising:

[0048] Frame 1, raw material supply device 2, stripe processing device 3 and finished product extrusion device 4;

[0049] The specific structure of the raw material supply device 2 is described above.

[0050] There are three raw material storage tanks 21, which are used to store the outer layer of fish paste wrapping, the inner layer of filling and color paste;

[0051] The stripe processing device 3 includes a processing tube 31 and a rotary drive assembly 32. The processing tube 31 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1. The upper pipe opening of the processing tube 31 is aligned with the bottom outlet of the mixing tank 26. The rotary drive assembly 32 is in transmission connection with the processing tube 31.

[0052] The finished product extrusion device 4 includes a support seat 41, a left extrusion roller 42, a right extrusion roller 43, a left rotating shaft 44, a right rotating shaft 45, an extrusion drive assembly 46 and an extension drive assembly 47. The center of the left extrusion roller 42 is fixedly connected to the front end of the left rotating shaft 44, and the rear end of the left rotating shaft 44 is rotationally connected to the support seat 41. The center of the right extrusion roller 43 is fixedly connected to the front end of the right rotating shaft 45, and the rear end of the right rotating shaft 45 is rotationally connected to the support seat 41. The left extrusion roller 42 and the right extrusion roller 43 are both conical in shape. The left extrusion roller 42 and the right extrusion roller 43 rotate in opposite directions and at the same speed. The extrusion drive assembly 46 is connected to the left rotating shaft 44 and the right rotating shaft 45 in a transmission manner. The support seat 41 is slidably connected to the frame 1. The extension drive assembly 47 is connected to the support seat 41 in a transmission manner. The left extrusion roller 42 and the right extrusion roller 43 are both located below the lower pipe mouth of the processing tube 31.

[0053] The outer layer of fish paste wrapper, the inner layer of filling, and the color paste raw materials enter the mixing tank 26 for preliminary mixing, and then enter the processing tube 31. As the processing tube 31 rotates, the raw materials are mixed more evenly. The processing tube 31 drives the outer layer of fish paste wrapper to rotate, and the outer layer of fish paste wrapper also moves downward, so that the color paste mixes with the outer layer of fish paste wrapper and forms spaced spiral lines on the surface, which better imitates the lines on the lobster body; the long strip material 6 discharged from the bottom of the processing tube 31 falls directly into the finished product extruder 4. The long strip of material 6 passes through the conical channel 421 between the left extrusion roller 42 and the right extrusion roller 43 to obtain a shape that simulates the body of a lobster. The long strip of material 6 is then torn into pieces by the rapid back-and-forth extension movement of the left extrusion roller 42 and the right extrusion roller 43 to obtain small pieces of imitation lobster fillet products 7. At the same time, the rotation of the left extrusion roller 42 and the right extrusion roller 43 transports the small pieces of imitation lobster fillet products 7 downward, and finally falls into the finished product boiling tank 5 for shaping, automatically obtaining small pieces of imitation lobster fillet products 7, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0054] The feed drive assembly 25 is a motor. The feed blades 23 are spiral blades, similar to the structure of a screw extruder. The lower opening of the processing tube 31 is tapered, which helps the pre-mixed raw materials rotate with the processing tube 31, then move downward and be discharged from the tapered opening. The long strips of material 6 discharged from the bottom of the processing tube 31 land in the conical area between the left and right extrusion rollers 42, 43. The left extrusion roller 42 rotates clockwise, while the right extrusion roller 43 rotates counterclockwise. As the left and right extrusion rollers 42, 43 simultaneously extend forward, the long strips of material 6 above are pulled and thinned. The rotation of the left and right extrusion rollers 42, 43 then breaks the thinned area, resulting in small pieces of simulated lobster fillets. The left and right extrusion rollers 42, 43 then retract to their initial positions. In this embodiment, the extrusion drive assembly rotates the left and right extrusion rollers one revolution, and the extension drive assembly causes the support base and extrusion rollers to extend and retract six times.

[0055] The rotary drive assembly 32 includes a first gear 321, a second gear 322, and a processing motor 323. The first gear 321 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the processing tube 31. The output shaft of the processing motor 323 is fixedly connected to the center of the second gear 322. The body of the processing motor 323 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and the first gear 321 is meshed with the second gear 322. This is one embodiment of the rotational motion of the processing tube 31.

[0056] The middle part of the processing tube 31 has a mesh plate 311. The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that the preliminarily mixed raw materials pass through the mesh holes of the mesh plate 311, and the processing tube 31 and the mesh plate 311 rotate simultaneously, which helps to drive the materials in the processing tube 31 to rotate.

[0057] The raw material storage tank 21 for storing the outer layer of fish paste wrapping is connected to the left and right sides of the top of the mixing tank 26 via two raw material delivery pipes 22. The raw material storage tank 21 for storing the inner layer of filling is connected to the center of the top surface of the mixing tank 26 via one raw material delivery pipe 22. The raw material storage tank 21 for storing the colorant is connected to the bottom side of the mixing tank 26 via one raw material delivery pipe 22. The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that as the raw materials enter the mixing tank 26, the outer layer of fish paste wrapping surrounds the inner layer of filling, and the colorant forms lines on the surface of the outer layer of fish paste wrapping.

[0058] The raw material supply device 2 further comprises a delivery pump, which is installed in the raw material delivery pipe 22. The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that the delivery pump helps to improve the power of delivering the raw materials.

[0059] The extrusion drive assembly 46 includes a left gear 461, a right gear 462, a third gear 463 and an extrusion motor 464. The center of the left gear 461 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the left rotating shaft 44, and the center of the right gear 462 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the right rotating shaft 45. The left gear 461 and the right gear 462 have the same number of teeth, and the left gear 461 and the right gear 462 are meshed and connected. The body of the extrusion motor 464 is fixedly set on the support base 41, and the output shaft of the extrusion motor 464 is fixedly connected to the center of the third gear 463, and the third gear 463 is meshed and connected with the left gear 461. The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that, with the help of the meshing left gear 461 and right gear 462, the left extrusion roller 42 and the right extrusion roller 43 are caused to rotate synchronously.

[0060] The extension drive assembly 47 includes a push-pull block 471, a connecting rod 472, a turntable 473, and an extension motor (not shown). The push-pull block 471 is fixedly connected to the support base 41. One end of the connecting rod 472 is hinged to the push-pull block 471, and the other end of the connecting rod 472 is hinged to the edge of the turntable 473. The center of the turntable 473 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the extension motor, and the body of the extension motor is fixedly mounted on the frame 1. The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that, by utilizing the motion principle of the crank sliding, the rotational motion of the turntable 473 is converted into the forward and backward linear motion of the push-pull block 471, thereby achieving the simultaneous reciprocating extension motion of the left and right extrusion rollers 42 and 43.

[0061] The finished product extrusion device 4 also includes a linear guide (not shown) and a roller (not shown). The linear guide is mounted on the frame, and the roller is mounted on the support base. The roller rolls back and forth on the linear guide. The beneficial effect of this technical solution is that compared to sliding friction, the friction between the roller and the linear guide is rolling friction, which is small and facilitates the repeated telescopic movement of the support base.

[0062] The system also includes a finished product boiling tank 5, located below the left and right extrusion rollers 42 and 43. This technical solution advantageously allows the small imitation lobster fillets 7 to be boiled and shaped, with hot water in the boiling tank 5. Finally, a staff member removes the small imitation lobster fillets from the boiling tank 5 using a slotted spoon.

[0063] The working method of the imitation lobster steak forming machine of this embodiment is as follows: the outer layer of fish paste wrapping, the inner layer of filling and the color paste are placed in three raw material storage tanks 21 by the staff, and the raw materials are transported to the mixing tank 26 by means of the feed drive assembly 25. The raw materials fill the cavity of the mixing tank 26 and then move downward. The outer layer of fish paste wrapping surrounds the inner layer of filling, and the color paste is mixed into the outer layer of fish paste wrapping and forms spaced spiral lines on the surface. The material in the mixing tank 26 enters the processing tube 31, and the processing tube 31 drives the material to rotate. At the same time, the material moves downward, so that the color paste is mixed into the outer layer of fish paste wrapping and forms spaced spiral lines on the surface. The spaced spiral lines are formed to better imitate the lines on the lobster's body; the long strip material 6 discharged from the bottom of the processing tube 31 falls between the left extrusion roller 42 and the right extrusion roller 43 of the finished product extrusion device 4, and the long strip material 6 is torn into pieces by the rapid back-and-forth extension movement of the left extrusion roller 42 and the right extrusion roller 43 to obtain small pieces of imitation lobster steak finished products 7. At the same time, the rotation of the left extrusion roller 42 and the right extrusion roller 43 transports the small pieces of imitation lobster steak finished products 7 downward, and finally the small pieces of imitation lobster steak finished products 7 fall into the finished product boiling box 5 for shaping; the staff uses a colander to scoop out the shaped small pieces of imitation lobster steak.

[0064] Although the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described above, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific embodiments described are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
