Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of toast making technology, and more specifically, it relates to a toast forming limit adjustment structure and a toast shaping machine. Background Technology

[0002] As a staple food, toast is commonly found in European and American breakfasts. Toast is a rectangular Western-style bread that can be sliced ​​and served with toppings such as cheese, ham, or jam between two slices. During the toast-making process, a rolling press is used to further roll and press the dough, making the roll structure denser and more compact, thus ensuring its condition after baking.

[0003] Existing forming equipment mostly uses two width limiting bars to limit the two ends of the toast. The above structure can only be used for a certain size of toast. Even if some structures use adjustable width limiting bars, the operation is generally more complicated and it is difficult to ensure that the two width limiting bars are stably and symmetrically set with respect to the central axis of the conveyor belt. Therefore, it is easy for the toast to move from side to side, affecting the forming quality of the toast. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a toast forming limit adjustment structure and a toast shaping machine, which can conveniently adjust the two width limiting bars synchronously to ensure effective symmetry between the middle of the toast and the central axis of the conveyor belt, thereby improving the forming quality of the toast.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a toast forming limiting adjustment structure is provided, including two adjusting tube shafts, two width limiting strips and two width adjusting components. The two adjusting tube shafts are connected to the frame along the transverse direction of the conveyor belt and are respectively located on the front and rear sides of the rolling plate. The two width adjusting components are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two adjusting tube shafts. The two width limiting strips are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the rolling plate. The ends of the width limiting strips are connected to the adjusting tube shafts through the width adjusting components.

[0006] The width adjustment component includes a bidirectional lead screw and two corresponding screw nuts connected to the two ends of the bidirectional lead screw. The bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected to the frame and is installed through the adjusting tube shaft along its axial direction. The screw nuts are threaded onto the bidirectional lead screw and are installed downward through the circumferential wall of the adjusting tube shaft. The width limiting strip is connected to the lower end of the screw nuts, and the screw nuts can drive the width limiting strip to move left and right under the action of the bidirectional lead screw.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the lead screw seat includes a threaded sleeve and a connecting arm. The threaded sleeve is fitted around the outer periphery of the bidirectional lead screw, and the connecting arm extends downward through the peripheral wall of the adjusting tube shaft and is used to connect the threaded sleeve and the width limiting strip.

[0008] In some embodiments, a plug plate is connected to the connecting arm. The plug plate has an extension that extends horizontally and plugs into the side of the width limiting strip. The extension is connected to the width limiting strip by a connector.

[0009] In some embodiments, the width limiting strip includes a mounting base and an anti-stick strip. The mounting base has a mounting cavity facing the side of the rolling plate. The anti-stick strip is disposed in the mounting cavity and protrudes from the end face of the mounting base toward the central axis of the rolling plate. A connector passes through the mounting base, the anti-stick strip, and the extension.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the adjusting tube shaft is provided with an axially extending scale bar, and the nut is connected to an indicator bar that corresponds to the scale bar to indicate the distance between the two width limiting bars.

[0011] In some embodiments, the indicator bar extends upward in a semi-circular shape along the peripheral wall of the adjustment tube shaft, and the upper end of the indicator bar has a pointed tip facing the scale bar.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the two ends of the bidirectional lead screw are respectively provided with operating handwheels, and the operating handwheels have non-slip grips.

[0013] In some embodiments, the end of the adjusting tube shaft is mounted on the frame via a mounting bracket, the mounting bracket having an upwardly extending vertical plate, the end of the adjusting tube shaft being fixedly connected to the vertical plate, a bidirectional lead screw passing through the vertical plate and rotating in coordination with the vertical plate, and an operating handwheel connected to the outer end of the bidirectional lead screw.

[0014] In some embodiments, the end of the bidirectional lead screw is provided with a shaft head that penetrates the vertical plate, the operating handwheel is connected to the outer end of the shaft head, and a thrust bearing is sleeved on the shaft head. The thrust bearing is located between the end face of the bidirectional lead screw and the side plate of the frame.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the solution shown in this application embodiment has two limiting strips installed between two adjusting tube shafts. The spacing between the two limiting strips is adjusted by the width adjustment component to accommodate the limiting of different specifications of toast. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw drives the axial movement of the lead screw nuts at both ends, thereby making the two limiting strips move closer or further away at the same time. This ensures that the limiting strips effectively limit the toast, keeping the toast centered above the conveyor belt. The above structure simplifies the adjustment process, ensures the centered position of the toast on the conveyor belt during the rolling process, and improves the rolling quality of the toast.

[0016] This utility model also provides a toast shaping machine, which includes a toast forming limiting adjustment structure. The toast shaping machine can center the toast above the conveyor belt. This structure simplifies the adjustment process, ensures the centered position of the toast on the conveyor belt during the rolling process, and improves the rolling quality of the toast.

In the description of this utility model, "a number" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0027] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 The present invention will now describe the toast forming limiting adjustment structure and the toast shaping machine provided. The toast forming limiting adjustment structure includes two adjusting tube shafts 1, two width limiting strips 2, and two width adjusting components 3. The two adjusting tube shafts 1 are connected to the frame 92 along the transverse direction of the conveyor belt 91 and are located on the front and rear sides of the rolling plate 93, respectively. The two width adjusting components 3 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two adjusting tube shafts 1. The two width limiting strips 2 are symmetrically located on the left and right sides of the rolling plate 93, and the ends of the width limiting strips 2 are connected to the adjusting tube shafts 1 through the width adjusting components 3.

[0028] The width adjustment component 3 includes a bidirectional lead screw 4 and two threaded nuts 5 that are connected one-to-one to the two ends of the bidirectional lead screw 4. The bidirectional lead screw 4 is rotatably connected to the frame 92 and is installed through the adjusting tube shaft 1 along the axial direction of the adjusting tube shaft 1. The threaded nuts 5 are threaded onto the bidirectional lead screw 4 and are installed downward through the peripheral wall of the adjusting tube shaft 1. The width limiting bar 2 is connected to the lower end of the threaded nuts 5. The threaded nuts 5 can drive the width limiting bar 2 to move left and right under the action of the bidirectional lead screw 4.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the toast forming limiting adjustment structure provided in this embodiment has two limiting strips installed between two adjusting tube shafts 1. The spacing between the two limiting strips is adjusted by the width adjustment component 3 to accommodate the limiting of different specifications of toast. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 4 drives the lead screw nuts 5 at both ends to move axially, thereby making the two limiting strips move closer or further away at the same time. This ensures that the limiting strips effectively limit the toast, so that the toast is centered above the conveyor belt 91. The above structure simplifies the adjustment process, ensures the centered position of the toast on the conveyor belt 91 during the toast rolling process, and improves the rolling quality of the toast.

[0030] In this embodiment, two adjusting tube shafts 1 are distributed on the front and rear sides of the coiling plate 93, and two width limiting strips 2 are located on the left and right sides of the coiling plate 93. The two ends of the same lead screw are respectively equipped with lead screw nuts 5. The two lead screw nuts 5 can synchronously drive the front end of the two width limiting strips 2 or the rear end of the two width limiting strips 2, thereby realizing the driving effect of the width limiting strips 2, so that the front end or the rear end of the two width limiting strips 2 can move closer or further away from each other, so that the middle part of the toast is effectively aligned with the central axis of the conveyor belt 91.

[0031] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The screw nut 5 includes a threaded sleeve 51 and a connecting arm 52. The threaded sleeve 51 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bidirectional screw 4, and the connecting arm 52 is arranged to penetrate the peripheral wall of the adjusting tube shaft 1 and is used to connect the threaded sleeve 51 and the width limiting strip 2.

[0032] In this embodiment, the threaded nut 5 adopts a combination of a threaded sleeve 51 and a connecting arm 52. When the threaded nut 5 translates axially along the bidirectional lead screw 4, the threaded sleeve 51 can drive the connecting arm 52 and the width limiting strip 2 to move laterally. The threaded sleeve 51 is located inside the adjusting tube shaft 1 and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the bidirectional lead screw 4, and is threadedly engaged with the bidirectional lead screw 4. The connecting arm 52 is connected below the threaded sleeve 51 and extends downward through the bottom of the peripheral wall of the adjusting tube shaft 1. The bottom of the adjusting tube shaft 1 is provided with an axially extending groove for the connecting arm 52 to slide within the groove. The above structure simplifies the installation process of the threaded nut 5 and improves assembly efficiency.

[0033] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The connecting arm 52 is connected to a plug plate 53. The plug plate 53 has an extension 54 that extends horizontally and is plugged into the side of the width limiting bar 2. The extension 54 is connected to the width limiting bar 2 through a connector 41.

[0034] In this embodiment, the lower end of the connecting arm 52 is also connected to a plug plate 53. The extension 54 of the plug plate 53 is inserted into the width limiting strip 2, and the extension 54 and the width limiting strip 2 are connected by the connector 41, which facilitates the installation and connection of the structure and ensures the effective driving of the limiting strip.

[0035] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The width limiting strip 2 includes a mounting base 21 and an anti-stick strip 22. The mounting base 21 has a mounting cavity facing the coiling plate 93. The anti-stick strip 22 is disposed in the mounting cavity and protrudes from the end face of the mounting base 21 toward the central axis of the coiling plate 93. The connector 41 passes through the mounting base 21, the anti-stick strip 22 and the extension 54.

[0036] In this embodiment, the width limiting strip 2 is a combination of a mounting base 21 and an anti-stick strip 22. The mounting base 21 has a mounting cavity extending in the front-to-back direction. The mounting cavity is positioned facing the coiling plate 93. The anti-stick strip 22 is disposed in the mounting cavity and protrudes from the central axis side of the conveyor belt 91, thus limiting the position of the left or right end of the toast. The anti-stick strip 22 has good anti-stick performance.

[0037] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The adjusting tube shaft 1 is provided with an axially extending scale bar 11, and the screw nut 5 is connected with an indicator bar 6 for corresponding to the scale bar 11 to indicate the distance between the two width limiting bars 2.

[0038] In this embodiment, when adjusting the distance between the two width limiting strips 2, in order to facilitate the control of the gap between them, a scale strip 11 is provided on the adjusting tube shaft 1. The indicator half ring connected to the wire nut seat 5 can provide corresponding feedback on the distance between the two width limiting strips 2, so that the distance meets the length dimension specification requirements of the roll.

[0039] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The indicator bar 6 extends upward in a semi-circular shape along the circumferential wall of the adjusting tube shaft 1, and its upper end has a pointed tip 61 facing the scale bar 11. The semi-circular structure of the cheese indicator bar 6, with its pointed tip 61 corresponding to the scale bar 11, facilitates quick reading of dimensional parameters. Specifically, the scale bar 11 can start from the axial middle position of the adjusting tube shaft 1 as the zero mark, with the scale gradually increasing towards both sides. Multiplying the scale corresponding to the indicator bar 6 by two determines the distance between the two width-limiting bars 2. This structure is convenient to observe and simple to operate.

[0040] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The two ends of the bidirectional lead screw 4 are respectively equipped with operating handwheels 7, and the operating handwheels 7 have anti-slip grips. The anti-slip grips on the operating handwheels 7 at the ends of the bidirectional lead screw 4 can drive the bidirectional lead screw 4 to rotate, and then drive the width limiting strip 2 below to move left and right through the lead screw nut seat 5, thereby adjusting the distance between the two new width strips.

[0041] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The end of the adjusting tube shaft 1 is mounted on the frame 92 via the mounting bracket 8. The mounting bracket 8 has an upwardly extending vertical plate 81. The end of the adjusting tube shaft 1 is fixedly connected to the vertical plate 81. The bidirectional lead screw 4 passes through the vertical plate 81 and rotates with the vertical plate 81. The operating handwheel 7 is connected to the outer end of the bidirectional lead screw 4.

[0042] In this embodiment, the end of the adjusting tube shaft 1 is connected to the frame 92 via the mounting bracket 8. The vertical plate 81 of the mounting component extends upward to fix the end of the adjusting tube shaft 1. The bidirectional lead screw 4 passes through the vertical plate 81 and rotates with the vertical plate 81 to facilitate driving the threaded seat. Due to the limiting effect of the bottom sliding groove of the adjusting tube shaft 1, the threaded seat 5 can only move axially along the bidirectional lead screw 4, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the width limiting strip 2.

[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The end of the bidirectional lead screw 4 is provided with a shaft head 42 that penetrates the vertical plate 81. The operating handwheel 7 is connected to the outer end of the shaft head 42. A thrust bearing 43 is sleeved on the shaft head 42. The thrust bearing 43 is located between the end face of the bidirectional lead screw 4 and the side plate of the frame 92.

[0044] In this embodiment, the shaft head 42 of the bidirectional lead screw 4 is rotated with the vertical plate 81. By setting the thrust bearing 43, the friction during the rotation process can be effectively reduced. At the same time, the setting of the thrust bearing 43 can also limit the axial position of the bidirectional lead screw 4 and prevent the bidirectional lead screw 4 from moving axially.

[0045] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The width limiting bar 2 has an inlet section 23 at its rear end, which is located near the coil pressing plate 93 and is used to guide the roll of dough into the space between the coil pressing plate 93 and the conveyor belt 91. The inlet section 23 at the rear end of the width limiting bar 2 ensures that the roll of dough is centered and adjusted when it enters the space between the coil pressing plate 93 and the conveyor belt 91, avoiding jamming caused by misalignment, improving the shaping quality of the roll-free dough, and meeting the requirements for accurate positioning in subsequent slitting and boxing.

[0046] The two limiting strips of this toast forming limiting adjustment structure are installed between two adjusting tube shafts 1. The spacing between the two limiting strips is adjusted by the width adjustment component 3 to accommodate the limiting of different specifications of toast. The rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 4 drives the lead screw nuts 5 at both ends to move axially, thereby making the two limiting strips move closer or further away at the same time. This ensures that the limiting strips effectively limit the toast, keeping the toast centered above the conveyor belt 91. The above structure simplifies the adjustment process, ensures the centered position of the toast on the conveyor belt 91 during the toast rolling process, and improves the rolling quality of the toast.

[0047] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a toast shaping machine, which includes a toast forming limit adjustment structure. This toast shaping machine ensures the toast remains centered on the conveyor belt 91 during the rolling process, thus improving the rolling quality of the toast.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
