Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, and in particular to a fish ball processing and forming device. Background Technology

[0002] Fish balls are a traditional food originating from coastal areas of China. Due to their unique flavor and high nutritional value, they have become a common dish on the tables of people in coastal regions and a frequent ingredient in various banquets. Fish balls are made primarily from fish meat, supplemented with appropriate seasonings and other ingredients such as starch, mixed and then squeezed into small round balls or filled balls. Traditionally, fish balls are made by hand, squeezing the raw material from between the thumb and forefinger, and then quickly immersing it in hot water to set. Currently, automatic fish ball forming machines are widely available, reducing labor costs and significantly improving production efficiency and fish ball quality. However, in actual use, existing automatic fish ball forming machines often result in the extruded fish balls falling directly onto the water surface, easily causing hot water splashing and burns. Furthermore, the fish balls are not heated evenly, resulting in poor heating and setting effects. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that in actual use, the fish balls extruded by the existing automatic fish ball forming machine fall directly onto the water surface, which can easily lead to hot water splashing and scalding. Moreover, the fish balls are not heated evenly, and the heating and shaping effect is poor.

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a fish ball processing and forming device. A forming machine and a hot water tank are provided on the support. A guide cylinder is provided inside the hot water tank. The lower end of the guide cylinder is open and the upper end is provided with a funnel communicating with its interior. The funnel is set in correspondence with the extrusion port of the forming machine. A motor is provided at the bottom of the hot water tank. The output end of the motor extends into the guide cylinder and is connected to a spiral blade. The upper end of the spiral blade is lower than the liquid level in the hot water tank.

[0005] The fish ball processing and forming device provided by this utility model also has the following technical features:

[0006] The axis of the funnel is parallel to and staggered with the axis of the guide tube.

[0007] The inner surface of the funnel is provided with an anti-sticking layer.

[0008] The motor has multiple dispersing blades spaced circumferentially on its output end, and the dispersing blades are located between the guide tube and the bottom wall of the hot water tank.

[0009] The guide tube is provided with two mounting rods facing each other. The lower surface of the mounting rod is provided with a groove, which can be engaged with the side wall of the hot water tank. The end of the mounting rod is provided with a threaded hole communicating with the groove. A locking bolt is provided in the threaded hole, and the end of the locking bolt can abut against the side wall of the hot water tank.

[0010] The hot water tank is provided with support legs at the bottom to mount the hot water tank on the bracket; the bracket is provided with a support plate, and the molding machine is mounted on the support plate.

[0011] This invention has the following beneficial effects: the extrusion nozzle of the forming machine extrudes fish balls, which fall directly or through a funnel into the hot water in the guide cylinder. The funnel has a certain height to avoid hot water splashing and scalding. The output end of the motor drives the spiral blades to rotate, causing the hot water and fish balls in the guide cylinder to move downward to the lower end of the guide cylinder and enter the hot water at the bottom of the hot water tank. The fish balls are continuously and evenly heated, improving the heating and shaping effect. Attached Figure Description

[0012] Figure 1 This is a partial cross-sectional view of the present invention;

[0013] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the guide tube structure. Detailed Implementation

[0014] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0015] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the fish ball processing and forming device of this utility model has a forming machine 11 and a hot water tank 12 on the support 10. The hot water tank 12 is provided with a guide cylinder 21. The lower end of the guide cylinder 21 is open and the upper end is provided with a funnel 22 communicating with its interior. The funnel 22 is correspondingly arranged with the extrusion port 13 of the forming machine 11. The bottom of the hot water tank 12 is provided with a motor 23. The output end of the motor 23 extends into the guide cylinder 21 and is connected to a spiral blade 24. The upper end of the spiral blade 24 is lower than the liquid level in the hot water tank 12.

[0016] Fish balls are extruded from the extrusion port 13 of the forming machine 11. The fish balls fall directly or through the funnel 22 into the hot water in the guide cylinder 21. The funnel 22 has a certain height to avoid hot water splashing and scalding. The output end of the motor 23 drives the spiral blades 24 to rotate, so that the hot water and fish balls in the guide cylinder 21 move downward to the lower end of the guide cylinder 21 and enter the hot water at the bottom of the hot water tank 12. The fish balls are continuously and evenly heated, improving the heating and shaping effect.

[0017] The forming machine 11 can be a common fish ball or meat ball forming device on the market, and is equipped with a power supply and controller, which is existing technology in this field and will not be described in detail here. The motor 23 is also equipped with a corresponding power supply and controller to control its start and stop; the output end of the motor 23 is rotatably and sealedly connected to the bottom wall of the hot water tank 12 through bearings, sealing rings and other structures; in addition, the rotation direction of the output end of the motor 23 corresponds to the rotation direction of the spiral blade 24, so that the hot water and fish balls in the guide cylinder 21 can move downward. The hot water tank 12 is equipped with an inlet pipe 14 and a drain pipe 15, and each is equipped with a corresponding valve and connector to realize hot water circulation and ensure that the liquid level in the hot water tank 12 is higher than the top of the spiral blade 24, so as to avoid the fish balls falling directly onto the spiral blade 24 and being deformed due to impact.

[0018] The funnel 22 is located directly below the extrusion port 13 and the two are coaxially arranged. The inner diameter of the upper end of the funnel 22 is preferably more than 5 times the diameter of the fish ball to prevent the fish ball from spilling and falling directly into the hot water in the hot water tank 12. The inner diameter of the lower end of the funnel 22 is preferably more than 3 times the diameter of the fish ball to allow more fish balls to fall directly into the hot water in the guide tube 21, thereby reducing the probability of the fish ball contacting the funnel 22 and thus reducing the possibility of the fish ball being deformed due to impact when it falls on the funnel 22.

[0019] The outer edge of the spiral blade 24 has a gap with the inner wall of the guide tube 21, and the gap is much smaller than the diameter of the fish ball, yet it allows hot water to flow, thus keeping the guide tube 21 flush with the liquid level in the hot water tank 12. Of course, hot water can also flow through the passage formed by the spiral blade 24 itself.

[0020] Preferably, the axis of the funnel 22 is parallel to and staggered with the axis of the guide tube 21.

[0021] The axis of the funnel 22 and the axis of the guide tube 21 are both vertical and not collinear, so that the fish ball can fall into the hot water in the guide tube 21 and the landing point is located in the effective working area of ​​the spiral blade 24.

[0022] Preferably, the inner surface of the funnel 22 is provided with an anti-stick layer, which can be made of polytetrafluoroethylene coating, silicone coating or polyurethane coating, etc., which has good anti-stick properties and meets food safety standards, thereby reducing the occurrence of sticking when the fish balls fall on the funnel 22.

[0023] Preferably, the output end of the motor 23 is provided with a plurality of dispersing blades 25 spaced apart along its circumference, and the dispersing blades 25 are disposed between the guide tube 21 and the bottom wall of the hot water tank 12.

[0024] The output end of motor 23 drives the dispersing blades 25 to rotate, so as to move and disperse the hot water and fish balls that have moved to the lower end of guide cylinder 21 to other hot water areas in hot water tank 12, so that the hot water in hot water tank 12 can quickly maintain a uniform heat state, and further make the fish balls continuously and evenly heated, thus improving the heating and shaping effect.

[0025] The upper edge of the funnel 22, the lower edge of the guide tube 21, and the dispersing blades 25 are all rounded to reduce the impact on the shape of the fish balls.

[0026] Preferably, the guide tube 21 is provided with two mounting rods 31 facing each other, and the lower surface of the mounting rod 31 is provided with a groove 32, which can be engaged with the side wall of the hot water tank 12; the end of the mounting rod 31 is provided with a threaded hole communicating with the groove 32, and a locking bolt 33 is provided in the threaded hole, the end of the locking bolt 33 can abut against the side wall of the hot water tank 12.

[0027] The guide tube 21, funnel 22 and hot water tank 12 can be detachably connected, and the guide tube 21 and funnel 22 are supported. The mounting rod 31 is arranged radially along the guide tube 21 and close to the upper end of the guide tube 21; four mounting rods 31 can also be provided to achieve better support.

[0028] Preferably, the bottom of the hot water tank 12 is provided with support legs 16 to mount the hot water tank 12 on the bracket 10; the bracket 10 is provided with a support plate 17, and the molding machine 11 is mounted on the support plate 17.

[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0030] Fish balls are extruded from the extrusion port 13 of the forming machine 11. The fish balls fall almost vertically into the hot water in the guide cylinder 21, and the landing point is located in the effective working area of ​​the spiral blade 24. Other fish balls that are slightly off-center from the fall are guided by the funnel 22 and can also fall into the hot water in the guide cylinder 21. At the same time, the anti-stick layer on the inner surface of the funnel 22 can reduce the occurrence of sticking. Since the funnel 22 has a certain height, it can avoid the problem of hot water splashing and scalding. The output end of the motor 23 drives the spiral blade 24 to rotate, so that the hot water and fish balls in the guide cylinder 21 move downward to the lower end of the guide cylinder 21. At the same time, the output end of the motor 23 drives the dispersing blade 25 to rotate, so as to push and disperse the hot water and fish balls that have moved to the lower end of the guide cylinder 21 to other hot water areas in the hot water tank 12, so that the hot water in the hot water tank 12 can quickly maintain a uniform temperature, and the fish balls can be continuously and evenly heated, improving the heating and shaping effect.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
