Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] This embodiment addresses the problem that existing cleaning methods, when using a single approach, are insufficient to remove dough debris adhering to the conveyor belt, and struggle to ensure conveyor belt cleanliness for different types of residues.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment is a bread puff pastry machine with a self-cleaning structure, including two support frames 1 for mounting the pastry machine, a mounting frame 2 fixedly connected between the two support frames 1, a conveyor belt 3 arranged inside the mounting frame 2, and two symmetrically arranged mounting seats 4 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting frame 2. A cleaning mechanism is arranged between the two mounting seats 4, the cleaning mechanism including a rotating shaft 5 rotatably connected to the two mounting seats 4, a brush plate 9 and a scraper 14 detachably mounted on the rotating shaft 5, and a drive roller on the mounting frame 2 rotating, thereby moving the conveyor belt 3.

[0027] When the brush plate 9 contacts the surface of the conveyor belt 3, as the conveyor belt 3 moves, the brush plate 9 cleans the flour residue on the conveyor belt 3. The rotating shaft 5 is rotated so that the scraper 14 contacts the surface of the conveyor belt 3 and scrapes off the dough debris adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt 3. An installation box 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the mounting base 4. The end of the rotating shaft 5 that extends from the mounting base 4 into the installation box 6 is fixedly connected to a worm gear 7. A worm 8 that meshes with the worm gear 7 is rotatably connected to the mounting box 6. The end of the worm 8 passes through the mounting box 6 and is fixedly connected to a handle.

[0028] Rotating the handle fixedly connected to the worm 8 causes the worm wheel 7, which meshes with the worm 8, to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 5 fixedly connected to the worm wheel 7 to rotate. This allows the positions of the brush plate 9 and the scraper plate 14 to be switched, thus enabling thorough cleaning of the surface of the conveyor belt 3. The cooperation between the worm wheel 7 and the worm 8 can fully lock the position of the rotating shaft 5, ensuring stability during the cleaning process.

[0029] A connecting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5. The end of the connecting seat 11 away from the rotating shaft 5 has an insertion interface. A plug plate 10 is inserted into the insertion interface of the connecting seat 11. The end of the plug plate 10 away from the rotating shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the brush plate 9, which makes it easy to disassemble the brush plate 9 for cleaning.

[0030] A fixing knob 12 is screwed onto the outer wall of the connector 11. The end of the fixing knob 12 passes through the connector 11 and abuts against the plug plate 10. Rotating the fixing knob 12 facilitates the quick disassembly and installation of the brush plate 9 and the plug plate 10 on the connector 11.

[0031] A collection box 19 is placed on one side of the bottom of the conveyor belt 3. A handle is fixedly installed on the side of the collection box 19 away from the conveyor belt 3 to facilitate the collection and processing of bread scraps concentrated on the conveyor belt 3.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] This embodiment addresses the issue of ensuring that the conveyor belt can be thoroughly cleaned.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment, a bread puffing machine with a self-cleaning structure has a connecting seat 2 13 fixedly connected to the outer contour of the rotating shaft 5. The surface of the connecting seat 2 13 is provided with a limiting groove for sliding connection with the scraper 14. By setting the limiting groove, it is convenient to adjust the position of the scraper 14 so that the scraper 14 can fully contact the conveyor belt 3.

[0035] Two symmetrically arranged connecting blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the surface of the scraper 14. A sliding column 18 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting block 15 near the rotating shaft 5. The sliding column 18 passes through and is slidably connected to a connecting block 16 fixedly connected to the connecting seat 13. A spring 17 is sleeved on the outer contour of the sliding column 18, which abuts against the sliding column 18 and the connecting block 15. A fixing ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sliding column 18 to limit the position of the connecting block 15 and prevent the sliding column 18 from popping out under the action of the spring 17. Under the elastic force of the spring 17, the scraper 14 can make full contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 3, and fully scrape off the dough residue adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt 3, which can facilitate the subsequent full rinsing of the surface of the conveyor belt 3.

[0036] Combining Example 1 and Example 2

[0037] By setting up a cleaning mechanism, it is possible to effectively clean different types of residues, such as flour residues and dough crumbs. The brush plate 9 can sweep away most of the loose flour, while the scraper 14 can more thoroughly remove stubborn dough crumbs adhering to the conveyor belt 3, ensuring the cleanliness of the conveyor belt 3. The positions of the brush plate 9 and the scraper 14 can be easily switched, ensuring the stability and safety of the cleaning process. Both the brush plate 9 and the scraper 14 can be disassembled and installed, making it convenient for users to clean and replace them, reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment. A spring 17 is sleeved on the sliding column 18. The elastic force of the spring 17 ensures that the scraper 14 can always be in close contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 3, so that even stubborn dough residues on the conveyor belt 3 can be effectively scraped off.

[0038] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the working process and principle of this utility model are as follows:

[0039] Step 1: Rotate the handle that is fixedly connected to the worm 8. Rotating the worm 8 will cause the worm wheel 7 that meshes with the worm 8 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 5 that is fixedly connected to the worm wheel 7 to rotate. Rotating the rotating shaft 5 can switch the position of the brush plate 9 and the scraper 14.

[0040] Step two: When the brush plate 9 comes into contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 3, as the conveyor belt 3 moves, the brush plate 9 cleans the flour residue on the conveyor belt 3. Then, the rotating shaft 5 is rotated again. Under the elastic force of the spring 17, the scraper 14 can make full contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 3. As the conveyor belt 3 moves, the dough debris adhering to the surface of the conveyor belt 3 is scraped off and collected by the collection box 19.
