Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dough processing technology, and in particular to a dough dividing and rounding device. Background Technology

[0002] A crucial step in making steamed buns or round pastries is precisely dividing the dough into evenly sized portions. These portions are then rolled into balls, a process that helps the buns and pastries take shape. This significantly reduces the leakage of gas from the dough, ensuring that the buns and pastries maintain their shape and structure better during subsequent steaming, boiling, or baking, resulting in a better finished product.

[0003] Currently, the division and rounding of large batches of dough is mostly achieved using dough dividing and rounding devices. However, existing dough dividing and rounding devices generally use a cutting blade to directly cut the dough at equal intervals. But after kneading, the dough is often not a regular shape. Even with equal-distance cutting, the actual size of each piece may vary. This difference directly affects the shaping size of subsequent steamed buns or pastries, making it difficult to achieve a uniform and standardized production effect.

[0004] Furthermore, the dough pieces are directly rolled and swung on the work surface after being divided, and there is no restraint between them colliding with each other. This may prevent them from achieving the desired roundness, resulting in the dough not reaching the ideal shape and softness, thus affecting the taste of the finished product. Utility Model Content

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Rather, the embodiments of this utility model include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0023] The dough dividing and rounding device of this utility model embodiment will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the dough dividing and rolling device of this utility model embodiment includes a base 1, a conveying seat 2, a dividing mechanism 3, a pushing group 4, and a rolling mechanism 5.

[0025] The conveyor seat 2 is mounted on the base 1, and a conveyor slot is provided at the bottom of the conveyor seat 2. A dough receiving frame 11 is provided inside the conveyor slot.

[0026] It should be noted that roller conveyors can be installed on both sides of the conveying trough. The dough receiving frame 11 has a frame structure, and its two sides are pressed against the roller conveyors. The roller conveyors control the movement and conveying, so as to realize the conveying function of the conveying seat 2.

[0027] The dividing mechanism 3 is installed on the conveying seat 2. The dividing mechanism 3 includes a pressure seat 31, a cross blade 32 and a pushing structure 33.

[0028] The pressing base 31 is inserted into the conveying base 2 and is located above the dough receiving frame 11. The cross blade 32 is inserted into the pressing base 31, and the pushing structure 33 is set on the pressing base 31.

[0029] It should be noted that the bottom area of ​​the pressing seat 31 is the same as the inner area of ​​the dough receiving frame 11. When the pressing seat 31 moves down to the dough receiving frame 11, it can squeeze the dough inside, squeezing it into a cubic structure and making it into a regular shape, ensuring that each piece of dough is the same size after the cross knife 32 falls and cuts. The pushing structure 33 can control the pressing seat 31 and the cross knife 32 to realize the lifting and lowering function of the two.

[0030] The pusher assembly 4 is mounted on the conveyor seat 2 and is located on one side of the dividing mechanism 3.

[0031] Understandably, the top-pushing group 4 squeezes and pushes each piece of dough from the top, ensuring that each piece of dough enters the subsequent rounding mechanism 5 for rounding.

[0032] The rolling mechanism 5 is mounted on the base 1 and located below the push assembly 4. The rolling mechanism 5 includes four semi-circular grooves 51, four guide holes 52, a rolling support plate 53, and an eccentric structure 54.

[0033] Four semicircular grooves 51 are respectively opened on the base 1, and four guide holes 52 are respectively opened on the base 1 and are connected to the corresponding semicircular grooves 51. The guide holes 52 are connected to the conveying groove. A drive groove is opened on the base 1. A rolling support plate 53 is set at the bottom of the semicircular groove 51 and is located in the drive groove. An eccentric structure 54 is set at the bottom of the rolling support plate 53.

[0034] It should be noted that a vertical sliding groove can be provided on the inner wall of the drive groove, a slider is provided in the sliding groove, and a telescopic rod is rotatably provided on the slider. The other end of the telescopic rod can be rotatably connected to the rolling support plate 53. This structure limits the rolling support plate 53 and ensures that the rolling support plate 53 can perform effective cyclic swing under the drive of the eccentric structure 54.

[0035] The guide hole 52 connects to the semi-circular groove 51, which facilitates the feeding of the agent into the corresponding semi-circular groove 51. The semi-circular groove 51 has a semi-circular structure that can accommodate the agent, that is, the internal space is larger than the size of the agent. With the help of the rolling support plate 53 at the bottom, the agent swings and hits the inner wall of the semi-circular groove 51. The semi-circular structure in the semi-circular groove 51 presses against the agent, and finally the agent forms a spherical shape, completing the rolling process.

[0036] Specifically, when it is necessary to make steamed buns or pastries, the dough formed on the river surface is sent into the dough receiving frame 11. The relevant staff place it at the opening of the conveying groove on the conveying seat 2, and the dough receiving frame 11 is driven into the conveying seat 2 by the roller conveyor on the conveying seat 2.

[0037] At this time, the relevant staff operate the top push structure 33 of the dividing mechanism 3 to drive the pressing seat 31 to press the dough into a regular cube structure. Then, the top push structure 33 is run again to use the cross knife 32 to divide the regular dough into four equal parts. The pressing seat 31 is then retracted and the roller conveyor on the conveyor seat 2 is restarted.

[0038] During the conveying process, the dough is brought to the guide hole 52. The pusher group 4 is activated, and the dough is fed into the semi-circular groove 51 through the guide hole 52. The eccentric structure 54 is activated to drive the dough to swing. With the assistance of the eccentric structure 54, the dough is rolled into a round shape. The eccentric structure 54 is activated to assist in controlling the rolling support plate 53 to fall and remove the rolled dough, thus completing the entire dough separation and rolling process.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the pusher structure 33 includes a first driver 331 and a second driver 332.

[0040] The pressure seat 31 has a cross groove, the first driver 331 is located on the top of the cross blade 32 and in the cross groove, and the second driver 332 is located on the top of the pressure seat 31 and is inserted into the conveyor seat 2.

[0041] It should be noted that the cross groove provides an active area for the cross blade 32 and facilitates the fixed installation of the first driver 331. In the default state, the cross blade 32 is engaged in the cross groove and forms a complete structure with the pressure seat 31, which facilitates the extrusion of dough. The first driver 331 and the second driver 332 are both electric push rods that can drive the pressure seat 31 to press down and push the cross blade 32 to press down and cut.

[0042] Specifically, the relevant staff first run the second driver 332 to drive the pressing seat 31 to press down and flatten the dough evenly in the dough receiving frame 11 to form a square structure, and then drive the first driver 331 to move the cross blade 32 downward to complete the cutting of the dough.

[0043] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the pusher assembly 4 includes a horizontal plate 41, four push rods 42 and a third actuator 43.

[0044] The conveyor seat 2 has a push groove, the horizontal plate 41 is set in the push groove, four push rods 42 are respectively set at the bottom of the horizontal plate 41, and the third driver 43 is set at the top of the horizontal plate 41 and inserted into the conveyor seat 2.

[0045] It should be noted that the third actuator 43 is an electric push rod connected to the horizontal plate 41. The horizontal plate 41 supports four push rods 42, which are located at the positions corresponding to the four guide holes 52. The push rods 42 are controlled by the third actuator 43 to push and feed the dough into the rounding mechanism 5.

[0046] Specifically, the cut dough pieces are conveyed to the top of the rounding mechanism 5, and the third drive 43 drives the horizontal plate 41 and the top rod 42 to squeeze the dough receiving frame 11 into the rounding mechanism 5 at the bottom for rounding.

[0047] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the eccentric structure 54 includes a slot seat 541, a circular plate 542, an eccentric shaft 543, a fourth actuator 544, and a fifth actuator 545.

[0048] The groove seat 541 is located at the bottom of the rolling support plate 53, the circular plate 542 is rotatably located inside the groove seat 541, the eccentric shaft 543 is rotatably located on the circular plate 542, the top end of the eccentric shaft 543 is rotatably connected to the rolling support plate 53, and the fourth driver 544 is located at the bottom of the circular plate 542 and is inserted into the groove seat 541.

[0049] The fifth driver 545 is located at the bottom of the slot 541, and the bottom of the fifth driver 545 is inserted into the base 1.

[0050] It should be noted that the fourth driver 544 is a servo motor connected to the center point of the blade plate 542, and the fifth driver 545 is a cylinder connected to the slot seat 541 to control the lifting and lowering of the rolling support plate 53.

[0051] It is understandable that an eccentric shaft 543 is rotatably mounted on one side of the top of the circular plate 542. The eccentric shaft 543 is rotatably connected to the top rolling support plate 53. The rotation of the circular plate 542 is controlled by the bottom fourth driver 544 to achieve eccentric drive and control the top rolling support plate 53 to swing cyclically.

[0052] Specifically, during the rounding process, the relevant personnel operate the fourth driver 544 to drive the circular plate 542 to rotate. The circular plate 542 drives the rounding support plate 53 to swing through the eccentric shaft 543, controlling the dough to swing in the semi-circular groove 51 and eventually roll into a spherical shape. After the rounding process is completed, the fifth driver 545 is driven to descend and the rounded dough is taken out.

[0053] In summary, the dough dividing and rounding device of this utility model can evenly cut the dough, effectively ensuring that each piece is the same size. At the same time, the semi-circular groove covers the dough pieces to assist in the rounding process, ensuring that the dough pieces can be effectively rounded and guaranteeing the taste of the finished product.
