Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bread processing technology, specifically to a bread feeder. Background Technology

[0002] Bread, also known as dough or artificial fruit, is a food made from ground grains and heated. It is made primarily from wheat flour, with yeast, eggs, oil, sugar, salt, and other ingredients added to form dough. The dough is then divided, shaped, proofed, baked, and cooled. In bread making, a feeder is used to inject the ingredients into the mold cavity, and then the mold is placed in an oven to bake and shape the bread.

[0003] In the patent application entitled "Feeder for Bread Production" with authorization publication number CN220235859U, authorization publication date of December 26, 2023, a table is included. A circular roller is rotatably mounted on the table via a shaft bracket. Cylinders are fixed on both sides of the table. A support plate is fixed on the piston rod of the cylinder. A support rod is fixed on the support plate. A support sleeve is slidably fitted on the support rod. An mounting plate is fixed on the support sleeve. An inner sleeve is fixedly embedded in the mounting plate. A material cylinder is inserted into the inner sleeve. This utility model uses a motor to drive the spiral blade to rotate, so that the added auxiliary material in the material cylinder can be spirally discharged. Bread is placed on a bread tray and pushed and conveyed by the circular roller, placed below the material cylinder. It can achieve stable, multi-group, quantitative addition, improving processing efficiency. The positioning pin structure makes it easy to assemble the mounting plate and the support rod. The threaded cap and threaded rod docking facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the material cylinder and the mounting plate.

[0004] While existing bread-making feeders facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the feed cylinder and mounting plate, practical use has revealed limitations. For bread of different shapes, the spacing between mold cavities varies, and the fixed spacing of the feed hoppers in existing feeders makes adjustment impossible. This results in poor applicability and inconvenience for bread production. Therefore, we propose a bread-making feeder to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0007] 2. Technical Solution:

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bread feeder, comprising a worktable, wherein hydraulic rods are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the worktable, and a top frame is installed at the top of the hydraulic rods, wherein...

[0009] A first bracket is installed at the bottom center of the top frame, and sliding seats are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the top frame.

A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the middle of the first bracket and the second bracket. Spiral blades are fixedly connected to the outside of the opening of the fixed hopper and the movable hopper. Support frames are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the top frame. A second motor is installed on the outside of the support frame. The second motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate through a transmission mechanism.

[0016] 3. Beneficial effects:

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a bread-making feeder, the specific details of which are as follows:

[0018] (1) The conveying device drives the mold to pass under the fixed injection hopper and the movable injection hopper, and injects material into the mold cavity through the fixed injection hopper and the movable injection hopper. When the spacing of the mold cavity changes, the first motor drives the lead screw to rotate. The lead screw drives the sliders on both sides to move in opposite directions through two opposite external threads. The sliders drive the movable injection hoppers to move closer or further away from each other through the sliding seat and the second bracket. Thus, the spacing between the fixed injection hopper and the movable injection hopper can be adjusted at the same distance at the same time. This allows the spacing of the injection hoppers to be adjusted according to the spacing of the mold cavity, which effectively improves the applicability of the injection device.

[0019] (2) When the second motor is working, it drives the first gear to rotate. The first gear drives the second gear to rotate through meshing. The second gear drives the first reversing gear to rotate through the second reversing gear, so that the first reversing gear drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft controls the material injection through the spiral blades. When the position of the movable injection hopper moves, the second bracket drives the second gear to move synchronously. Through the strip-shaped first gear, the first gear can always mesh with the second gear. Through this transmission mechanism, not only can the injection of multiple injection hoppers be controlled by a single second motor, but the position of the movable injection hopper can also be moved to avoid obstructing the adjustment of the spacing of the injection hoppers.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. Example

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4 A bread-feeding device includes a worktable 1, with hydraulic rods 2 symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of both sides of the worktable 1. A top frame 3 is installed at the top of the hydraulic rods 2.

[0030] A first support 4 is installed at the bottom center of the top frame 3. Sliding seats 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the top frame 3. A second support 6 is installed at the bottom of the sliding seats 5. A fixed hopper 7 and a movable hopper 8 are respectively installed at the bottom of the first support 4 and the second support 6. A groove 9 is opened at the bottom of the top frame 3 corresponding to the bottom of the sliding seat 5. A slider 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding seat 5 corresponding to the top of the groove 9. A screw rod 11 is rotatably connected inside the groove 9.

[0031] A first motor 12 is installed at one end of the top frame 3. The shaft end of the first motor 12 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 11. A rotating shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the middle of the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 6. A spiral blade 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the opening of the fixed hopper 7 and the movable hopper 8. Support frames 15 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the bottom of both ends of the top frame 3. A second motor 16 is installed on the outside of the support frame 15. The second motor 16 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate through the transmission mechanism.

[0032] The conveying device drives the mold below the fixed injection hopper 7 and the movable injection hopper 8, injecting material into the mold cavity through the fixed injection hopper 7 and the movable injection hopper 8. When the spacing between the mold cavities changes, the first motor 12 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate. The lead screw 11 drives the sliders 10 on both sides to move in opposite directions through two opposite external threads. This causes the sliders 10 to move the movable injection hopper 8 closer or further apart through the sliding seat 5 and the second bracket 6. This allows for simultaneous and equidistant adjustment of the spacing between the fixed injection hopper 7 and the movable injection hopper 8, so that the spacing of the injection hoppers can be adjusted according to the spacing of the mold cavity, effectively improving the applicability of the injector.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 4 Both the slide groove 9 and the slider 10 are T-shaped, and the internal dimensions of the slide groove 9 match the external dimensions of the slider 10. The lead screw 11 is provided with two opposite external threads, and the lead screw 11 is connected to the sliders 10 on both sides through the two opposite external threads. The outer diameter of the spiral blade 14 matches the inner diameter of the opening of the fixed hopper 7 and the movable hopper 8.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 4The transmission mechanism includes a first gear 17, which is rotatably connected to the support frames 15. The shaft end of the second motor 16 is fixedly connected to the first gear 17. A first reversing gear 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 13. A second reversing gear 19 is rotatably connected to the top of the first reversing gear 18 on both the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 6. A second gear 20 is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the second reversing gear 19. The first gear 17 is strip-shaped and meshes with multiple second gears 20 simultaneously. When the second motor 16 is working, it drives the first gear 17 to rotate, and the first gear 17 drives the second gears 20 to rotate through meshing. The second gear 20 drives the first reversing gear 18 to rotate via the second reversing gear 19, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate. The rotating shaft 13 controls the material injection via the spiral blades 14. When the position of the movable injection hopper 8 moves, the second bracket 6 drives the second gear 20 to move synchronously. The first gear 17, which is strip-shaped, can always mesh with the second gear 20. Through this transmission mechanism, not only can the injection of multiple injection hoppers be controlled simultaneously by a single second motor 16, but the position of the movable injection hopper 8 can also be moved, avoiding obstruction to the adjustment of the injection hopper spacing.

[0035] Working principle: When using this bread dispenser, such as... Figures 1 to 4 As shown, firstly, the conveying device drives the mold past the fixed injection hopper 7 and the movable injection hopper 8, injecting material into the mold cavity through the fixed injection hopper 7 and the movable injection hopper 8. When the spacing between the mold cavities changes, the first motor 12 drives the lead screw 11 to rotate. The lead screw 11, through two opposite external threads, drives the two sliders 10 to move in opposite directions. This causes the sliders 10 to move the movable injection hopper 8 closer or further apart through the sliding seat 5 and the second bracket 6, thereby simultaneously adjusting the spacing between the fixed injection hopper 7 and the movable injection hopper 8 at equal intervals. This allows for adjustment of the injection hopper spacing according to the spacing of the mold cavity, effectively improving the applicability of the injector. Furthermore, when the second motor 16 is working, it drives the first tooth... When wheel 17 rotates, the first gear 17 meshes with the second gear 20, which in turn drives the first reversing gear 18 to rotate via the second reversing gear 19. This causes the first reversing gear 18 to rotate the shaft 13. The shaft 13 controls the material injection via the spiral blades 14. When the position of the movable injection hopper 8 moves, the second support 6 drives the second gear 20 to move synchronously. The first gear 17, being strip-shaped, is always meshed with the second gear 20. Through this transmission mechanism, not only can the injection of multiple injection hoppers be controlled simultaneously via a single second motor 16, but the position of the movable injection hopper 8 can also be moved, avoiding obstruction to the adjustment of the injection hopper spacing.
