[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] Example:

[0020] Rounding machine, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the device includes a rounding mechanism 1 and a base 2. The rounding mechanism 1 includes a frustum 101 and a spiral guide rail 102. The radius of the upper base of the frustum 101 is smaller than the radius of its lower base. The frustum 101 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 2, and a disc 3 is provided on the top of the frustum 101. Multiple support rods 4 are welded to the outer peripheral wall of the disc 3. One end of each support rod 4 is installed on the top of the base 2. The spiral guide rail 102 is installed on the support rod 4 through a connecting block 5. The spiral guide rail 102 runs along the side of the frustum 101 from the frustum 101. The lower part of 01 extends spirally to the upper part of the frustum 101. A gap is formed between the inner wall of the spiral guide rail 102 and the frustum 101, and a rounding channel 6 is formed between the inner wall of the spiral guide rail 102 and the side of the frustum 101. The rounding channel 6 is used to round the dough. The inlet of the rounding channel 6 is located at the lower end of the spiral guide rail 102, and the outlet of the rounding channel 6 is located at the upper end of the spiral guide rail 102. The support rod 4 includes an inclined section 401 and a vertical section 402. The inclined section 401 is welded to the vertical section 402. The top of the base 2 has an inclined section 401 welded to the outer peripheral wall of the disc 3. Connecting blocks 5 are connected to the inclined section 401 and the spiral guide rail 102 respectively. One side of the connecting block 5 is bonded to the spiral guide rail 102, and the other side of the connecting block 5 is installed on the inclined section 401 by screws. Multiple locking blocks 7, corresponding to the support rod 4, are welded to the top of the base 2. The top of the locking blocks 7 has slots 8 for the vertical section 402 to be inserted. The vertical section 402 fits against the inner wall of the slots 8 and the top of the base 2 respectively. Multiple mounting blocks 9 are welded on the mounting blocks 7, and trapezoidal blocks 11 are welded on the mounting blocks 9 via springs 10. One end of the spring 10 is welded to the mounting block 9, and the other end of the spring 10 is welded to the trapezoidal block 11. A through-hole connected to the slot 8 is provided on one side of the mounting block 7 for the trapezoidal block 11 to pass through. A trapezoidal groove 12 is provided on the vertical section 402 for the trapezoidal block 11 to be inserted. The through-hole is provided in correspondence with the trapezoidal groove 12. The number of support rods 4, locking holes, mounting blocks 9 and trapezoidal blocks 11 are all four.

[0021] Two symmetrically arranged semi-circular plates 13 are mounted on the side of the frustum 101. The inner walls of the two semi-circular plates 13 are respectively attached to the side of the frustum 101. The spiral guide rail 102 is attached to the two semi-circular plates 13. The rounding channel 6 is formed through the semi-circular plates 13 and the spiral guide rail 102. Two mounting strips 14 corresponding to the semi-circular plates 13 are welded to the upper bottom surface of the frustum. The mounting strips 14 are attached to the top of the semi-circular plates. The semi-circular plates 13 are fixedly mounted on the mounting strips 14 by bolts 15. The top of both the mounting strips 14 and the semi-circular plates 13 are provided with threaded holes for connection with the bolts 15. The frustum 101 is rotatably connected to the top of the base 2 by a motor. The motor is housed inside the base 2. 01 has a rotating shaft 16 welded inside. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 16 is connected to the output end of the motor through a coupling. The top end of the rotating shaft 16 is welded to a turntable 17. The bottom surface of the turntable 3 has a circular groove to accommodate the rotation of the turntable 17. The lower end of the spiral guide rail 102 is bonded with a feeding concave plate 18. The feeding concave plate 18 is connected to the feed port of the rounding material channel 6. Support bars 19 are welded to both sides of the feeding concave plate 18. The support bars 19 are used to abut against the top of the base 2. The upper end of the spiral guide rail 102 is bonded with a discharge concave plate 20. The discharge concave plate 20 is connected to the discharge port of the rounding material channel 6. One side of the discharge concave plate 20 is welded to the inclined section 401 through a connecting rod. The two ends of the connecting rod are welded to the discharge concave plate 20 and the inclined section 401, respectively.

[0022] The operator feeds the dough to be rounded through the feeding concave plate 18 to the feeding port of the rounding channel 6 and feeds it in sequence for rounding. Then, the motor is started and the rotating shaft 16 is driven to rotate through the coupling. At this time, the bolts 15 are threaded into the threaded holes on the mounting strip 14 and the semi-circular platform 13 respectively. When the rotating shaft 16 rotates, it drives the frustum 101, the turntable 17 and the two semi-circular platforms 13 to rotate respectively. The turntable 17 rotates in the circular groove on the bottom surface of the disc 3. As the frustum 101 rotates, the dough is driven to spiral upward in the rounding channel 6 formed between the semi-circular platform 13 and the spiral guide rail 102. When the dough rises, it abuts against the outer wall of the semi-circular platform 13 and the inner wall of the spiral guide rail 102 respectively. During the process, the dough interacts with the rounding channel 6 to round it. Then, the rounded dough is sent out from the outlet of the rounding channel 6 and through the discharge concave plate 20, thus completing the automatic rounding of the dough without the need for manual kneading, which can improve the efficiency of dough rounding. The support bar 19 abuts against the top of the base 2, which can improve the stability of the feeding concave plate 18 on the base 2 during the process of the dough to be rounded being transported to the inlet of the rounding channel 6 through the feeding concave plate 18. In addition, when the spiral guide rail 102 is in normal use, the vertical section 402 of the support rod 4 is embedded in the slot 8 of the card block 7, and the trapezoidal block 11 passes through the opening and is embedded in the trapezoidal groove 12 opened on the vertical section 402, which improves the stability of the spiral guide rail 102 during use.

[0023] After the dough is rounded by the frustum 101 and the spiral guide rail 102, flour will adhere to the outer wall of the semi-circular platform 13 and the inner wall of the spiral guide rail 102. The operator first moves the trapezoidal block 11 closer to the mounting block 9. During the movement of the trapezoidal block 11 towards the mounting block 9, the spring 10 will be compressed and deformed, allowing the trapezoidal block 11 to sequentially disengage from the trapezoidal groove 12 and the opening. Then, the trapezoidal block 11 is pressed against the outer side of the locking block 7 near the opening. On the side wall, the operator repeats the operation to disengage the four trapezoidal blocks 11 from the trapezoidal grooves 12 on the four vertical sections 402 respectively. Then, the user holds and pulls the disc 3 upward. As the disc 3 moves upward, it simultaneously drives the four support rods 4 upward. At this time, the four vertical sections 402 simultaneously disengage from the slots 8 on the four locking blocks 7, and the turntable 17 is not in contact with the inner wall of the groove. During the upward movement of the disc 3 and the support rods 4, the spiral guide rail 102, the feed concave plate 18, and the discharge concave plate 102 are driven respectively. The plate 20 moves upward so that the spiral guide rail 102 does not contact the outer walls of the two semi-circular plates 13, thus making it easy and quick to remove the spiral guide rail 102 from the top of the base 2 for cleaning the inner wall of the spiral guide rail 102. The operator then removes the bolts 15 to disengage them from the threaded holes on the mounting strip 14 and the semi-circular plates 13 respectively. Then, the operator pulls the two semi-circular plates 13 apart until the mounting strip 14 is no longer in contact with the top of the semi-circular plates 13. Then, the operator pulls the two semi-circular plates 13 upward so that the semi-circular plates 13 can be removed from the frustum 101 for cleaning. It is not necessary to remove the frustum 101 from the top of the base 2 for cleaning; only the semi-circular plates 13 need to be cleaned, which is more convenient. This makes it easier for the operator to remove the spiral guide rail 102 and the semi-circular plates 13 from the top of the base 2 for cleaning. In addition, the two semi-circular plates 13 can protect the sides of the frustum 101, reducing the possibility of damage to the sides of the frustum 101.

All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
