Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of dough kneading devices, specifically a dough kneading device for instant noodle production. Background Technology

[0002] Instant noodles are a type of ready-to-eat noodle made through a specific process. They are usually packaged and sold together with a seasoning packet. They are popular with consumers worldwide due to their convenient and quick consumption method, diverse flavor options, and relatively low price. The dough kneading device in instant noodle production is one of the key pieces of equipment in the instant noodle production line. Its main function is to knead and process the dough to ensure that the texture, taste, and quality of the dough meet production requirements.

[0003] The existing patent document CN221355507U discloses a kneading device for instant noodle production. The protected claim "includes a base plate, a fixing frame, a mixing device, and a kneading chamber. The fixing frame is provided above the base plate, and the mixing device and the kneading chamber are provided on the fixing frame. The mixing device is set above the kneading chamber. This utility model is highly practical and very convenient to use. By setting up the mixing device, it is convenient to evenly add a salt and alkali mixture solution to the initially mixed dough, thereby increasing the flavor and taste of the instant noodle cake after later maturation. By setting a turning device on one side of the kneading chamber, it is convenient to remove the dough after secondary mixing."

[0004] However, the aforementioned publicly available literature on instant noodle production kneading devices mainly focuses on adding a salt-alkali mixture to the initially mixed dough through a mixing device, thereby enhancing the flavor and texture of the instant noodle cake after later maturation. It also considers removing the dough after secondary mixing by setting a turning device on one side of the kneading chamber. However, it fails to consider that the dough inside the device is easily affected by the external environment during the kneading process. With the arrival of winter, the properties of starch and protein in flour change in low temperatures, leading to increased dough stickiness. This may cause the kneading device to encounter greater resistance when mixing and kneading the dough, affecting the equipment's operating efficiency and the uniformity of the dough, ultimately impacting the normal operation of the equipment and the quality of the dough.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dough kneading device for instant noodle production, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A dough kneading device for instant noodle production includes a main body with a kneading box. A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted inside the kneading box, and multiple kneading rods are mounted on the rotating shaft. A motor is installed inside the main body, and the motor's output end is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft. The kneading device is equipped with a heat preservation mechanism to maintain the temperature inside the kneading box. The heat preservation mechanism includes a cavity and an installation chamber. The kneading box has a cavity, and the installation chamber is located inside the main body.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-Figure 4 A dough kneading device for instant noodles includes a main body 1, a kneading box 2 mounted on the main body 1, a rotating shaft 3 rotatably mounted inside the kneading box 2, multiple kneading rods 4 mounted on the rotating shaft 3, a motor 5 mounted inside the main body 1, and the output end of the motor 5 fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 3. The kneading device is equipped with a heat preservation mechanism to maintain the internal temperature of the kneading box 2, the heat preservation mechanism including a cavity 15 and a mounting chamber 6. The kneading box 2 has a cavity 15, and the mounting chamber 6 is located inside the main body 1. The mounting chamber 6 contains a liquid storage tank 7, a water pump 8, and a heating box 9. The main body 1 is the basic structure of the entire kneading device, supporting and accommodating other components. The kneading box 2, located on the main body 1, is the area where the actual kneading operation takes place. The rotating shaft 3 is rotatably mounted inside the kneading box 2. The main component driving the kneading rod 4 to rotate is mounted on the rotating shaft 3. The kneading rod 4 is mounted on the rotating shaft 3 and kneads the dough by rotating. The number and shape of the kneading rod 4 may be adjusted according to specific needs. The motor 5 is located inside the main body 1 of the device and provides power to the rotating shaft 3. Through the cavity 15, as the water pump 8 is started, it draws liquid from the liquid storage tank 7. The drawn liquid is transported to the heating box 9 and heated to the required temperature by the heating element 12. The heated liquid is transported to the cavity 15 through the liquid outlet pipe 10 to exchange heat with the kneading box 2 and maintain its internal temperature. The liquid in the cavity 15 flows back into the liquid storage tank 7 through the liquid inlet pipe 11 to form a circulation, ensuring the stability of the internal temperature of the kneading box 2. This allows the dough to achieve ideal softness and uniformity during kneading, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0021] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3A liquid inlet pipe 11 is installed at the inlet of the liquid storage tank 7, and one end of the liquid inlet pipe 11 is connected to one side of the cavity 15. The inlet of the water pump 8 is connected to the outlet of the liquid storage tank 7, and the outlet of the water pump 8 is connected to the inlet of the heating box 9. The heating box 9 is equipped with multiple sets of heating elements 12. A liquid outlet pipe 10 is installed at the outlet of the heating box 9, and the other end of the liquid outlet pipe 10 is connected to the other side of the cavity 15. The liquid storage tank 7 is used to store liquid for heating. The inlet of the water pump 8 is connected to the outlet of the liquid storage tank 7 for drawing liquid from the liquid storage tank 7. The outlet of the water pump 8 is connected to the inlet of the heating box 9 to transport the drawn liquid. The liquid is sent to the heating chamber 9 for heating. The main function of the water pump 8 is to provide the power for the flow of liquid, ensuring that the liquid can be smoothly transported from the storage tank 7 to the heating chamber 9. The heating chamber 9 is equipped with multiple sets of heating elements 12, which are responsible for heating the liquid to the required temperature. The liquid inlet of the heating chamber 9 is connected to the liquid outlet of the water pump 8 to receive the liquid from the water pump 8. The liquid outlet of the heating chamber 9 is equipped with a liquid outlet pipe 10, which is used to transport the heated liquid to the cavity 15 to maintain the temperature inside the kneading box 2. The liquid in the cavity 15 can flow back into the storage tank 7 through the liquid inlet pipe 11, so that the heating liquid can be circulated.

[0022] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The heating chamber 9 is internally fitted with multiple sets of partitions 13, and the partitions 13 are provided with multiple sets of holes 14. The presence of partitions 13 and holes 14 increases the flow path and turbulence of liquid inside the heating chamber 9, allowing more liquid to come into contact with the heat released by the heating element 12, thereby improving heating efficiency.

[0023] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The kneading box 2 is equipped with an insulation layer 18 that surrounds the cavity 15. The main function of the insulation layer 18 is to reduce the heat exchange between the cavity 15 and the external environment, thereby preventing the heated liquid from losing too much heat during the transmission process. By reducing heat loss, the insulation layer 18 can ensure that more of the heat output from the heating box 9 is used to heat the air or dough inside the kneading box 2, rather than being wasted on heating the external environment. This helps to maintain the temperature stability inside the kneading box 2 and improve thermal efficiency. The insulation layer 18 also helps to maintain the temperature stability inside the kneading box 2 and reduce temperature fluctuations caused by changes in the external environment.

[0024] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The cavity 15 is fitted with multiple sets of partitions 16, each with a flow hole 17. The presence of the partitions 16 and the flow hole 17 can guide the liquid to form a more complex flow pattern inside the cavity 15, which helps to reduce possible temperature dead zones and make the temperature distribution inside the kneading box 2 more uniform. This helps the heated liquid to exchange heat more effectively with the air or dough inside the kneading box 2 when it flows through the cavity 15. In addition, the partitions 16 can also enhance the structural stability of the cavity 15 and improve its load-bearing capacity.

[0025] Working principle: The main body 1 is the basic structure of the entire kneading device, used to support and accommodate other components. The kneading box 2 is located on the main body 1 and is the area where the actual kneading operation takes place. The rotating shaft 3 is rotatably installed inside the kneading box 2 and is the main component that drives the kneading rods 4 to rotate. The kneading rods 4 are mounted on the rotating shaft 3 and knead the dough by rotating. The number and shape of the kneading rods 4 may be adjusted according to specific needs. The motor 5 is located inside the main body 1 and provides power to the rotating shaft 3. Through the cavity 15, with the start of the water pump 8, liquid is drawn from the liquid storage tank 7. The drawn liquid is transported to the heating box 9 and heated to the required temperature by the heating element 12. The heated liquid then exits through the liquid outlet pipe 10. The liquid is transported into cavity 15 and exchanges heat with the kneading box 2 to maintain its internal temperature. The liquid in cavity 15 flows back into storage tank 7 through inlet pipe 11, forming a circulation to ensure stable internal temperature of kneading box 2. This allows the dough to achieve ideal softness and uniformity during kneading, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality. Storage tank 7 stores the liquid for heating. The inlet of water pump 8 is connected to the outlet of storage tank 7 to draw liquid from it. The outlet of water pump 8 is connected to the inlet of heating tank 9 to transport the drawn liquid to heating tank 9 for heating. The main function of water pump 8 is to provide the power for liquid flow, ensuring smooth transport of liquid from storage tank 7 to heating tank 9. The heating chamber 9 is equipped with multiple sets of heating elements 12, which are responsible for heating the liquid to the required temperature. The inlet of the heating chamber 9 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 8 to receive liquid from the water pump 8. An outlet pipe 10 is installed at the outlet of the heating chamber 9 to transport the heated liquid to the cavity 15 to maintain the temperature inside the kneading box 2. The liquid in the cavity 15 can flow back into the storage tank 7 through the inlet pipe 11, allowing the heating liquid to circulate. The presence of the partition 13 and the holes 14 increases the flow path and turbulence of the liquid inside the heating chamber 9, allowing more liquid to come into contact with the heat released by the heating elements 12, thereby improving heating efficiency. The main function of the insulation layer 18 is... This reduces heat exchange between the cavity 15 and the external environment, preventing excessive heat loss of the heated liquid during transport. By reducing heat loss, the insulation layer 18 ensures that more of the heat output from the heating chamber 9 is used to heat the air or dough inside the kneading box 2, rather than being wasted on heating the external environment. This helps maintain a stable temperature inside the kneading box 2 and improves thermal efficiency. The insulation layer 18 also helps maintain the stability of the internal temperature of the kneading box 2, reducing temperature fluctuations caused by changes in the external environment. The presence of the partition 16 and the flow hole 17 guides the liquid to form a more complex flow pattern inside the cavity 15, helping to reduce potential temperature dead zones and making the temperature distribution inside the kneading box 2 more uniform.This facilitates more effective heat exchange between the heated liquid and the air or dough inside the kneading box 2 as it flows through cavity 15, and partition 16 also enhances the structural stability of cavity 15, improving its load-bearing capacity.
