[0003] Most existing corn puffing machines cannot accurately control the opening and closing time and error based on the weight of the added raw materials. If too much material is added, it will affect the overall corn puffing effect inside the machine. If too little material is added, it will affect the output efficiency and make it impossible to guarantee the output quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a feeding device for a puffing machine used in puffed corn processing, so as to solve the problem that most existing puffing machines for puffed corn processing are inconvenient to accurately control the opening and closing time of the puffing machine according to the weight of the added raw materials, resulting in the inability to guarantee the quality of the output.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a feeding device for a puffing machine used in puffed corn processing is provided, including a mounting platform. The top of the mounting platform is fixedly connected to the puffing machine body and a fixed platform. The bottom of the mounting platform is provided with a collection box for placing puffed corn. The top of the fixed platform is fixedly connected to a first servo motor. The output end of the first servo motor is rotatably connected to a connecting shaft. The other end of the connecting shaft is connected to the auger blades inside the puffing machine body. The top of the puffing machine is provided with a feeding channel. A rotatable fixed plate is provided inside the feeding channel. An electronic weighing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate. A fixed shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the electronic weighing plate and the fixed plate. The fixed shaft extends to the outside of the feeding channel and is fixedly connected to a second servo motor. The second servo motor is fixed to the outside of the feeding channel through the fixed plate.

[0006] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a guide channel connected to the main body of the extruder is fixedly connected to the outside of the feed channel. An opening is opened at the top of the main body of the extruder, and the bottom end of the guide channel is connected to the opening.

[0007] As a further improvement to this technical solution, a pair of guide plates are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the feed channel, and the pair of guide plates are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0008] As a further improvement to this technical solution, the tilt angle of the pair of guide plates is between 30 degrees and 60 degrees.

[0009] As a further improvement to this technical solution, both the extruder body and the mounting platform body have a discharge port at their bottom ends.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] This puffing machine feeding device for processing puffed corn uses an electronic weighing plate installed at the top of a fixed plate inside the feeding channel to detect the weight of the corn raw material. The weight information is transmitted to a display installed on the outside of the feeding channel for easy observation by the operator. The operator can turn the fixed shaft by activating the second servo motor, causing the fixed plate and the electronic weighing plate to rotate 90 degrees. Under the action of gravity, the corn raw material is first guided by a pair of guide plates, and then enters the puffing machine body from the feeding channel to complete the feeding operation. This allows the operator to accurately control the opening and closing time of the puffing machine body, reduce time errors, improve production efficiency, and make it more convenient to use.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a feeding device for an extruder used in extruded corn processing. The feeding device includes the following components:

[0020] Specifically, the system includes a mounting platform 1, with the extruder body 2 and a fixed platform 3 fixedly connected to its top. A collection box 4 for placing extruded corn is located at the bottom of the mounting platform 1. A first servo motor 5 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed platform 3. A connecting shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the output end of the first servo motor 5. The other end of the connecting shaft 6 is connected to the auger blades inside the extruder body 2. A feeding channel 7 is located at the top of the extruder. A rotatable fixed plate 8 is located inside the feeding channel 7. An electronic weighing plate 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 8. A fixed shaft 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the electronic weighing plate 9 and the fixed plate 8. The fixed shaft 10 extends... A second servo motor 11 extends to the outside of the feed channel 7 and is fixedly connected thereto. The second servo motor 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the feed channel 7 via a fixing plate 8. A guide channel 12 connected to the extruder body 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the feed channel 7. An opening 13 is opened at the top of the extruder body 2, and the bottom end of the guide channel 12 is connected to the opening 13. A pair of guide plates 14 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner side of the feed channel 7. The pair of guide plates 14 are arranged in a staggered manner. The inclination angle of the pair of guide plates 14 is between 30 degrees and 60 degrees. Both the extruder body 2 and the mounting platform 1 have a discharge port 15 at their bottom ends.

[0021] The above technical solution, by setting a rotatable fixed plate 8 inside the feeding channel 7 and fixing an electronic weighing plate 9 above the fixed plate 8, enables the equipment to detect the weight of the corn raw material and transmit the weight information to the display installed on the outside of the feeding channel 7 for timely observation by the staff, which facilitates the staff to accurately control the opening and closing time of the extruder body 2, reduces time error and improves production efficiency; by symmetrically and alternately fixing a pair of guide plates 14 at the bottom inside the feeding channel 7, the corn raw material tilted by the fixed plate 8 and the electronic weighing plate 9 can be prevented from blocking the feeding channel 7.

[0022] Working principle: In use, the puffing machine for processing corn is first moved to a suitable position using the support feet at the bottom of the mounting platform 1. Then, the collection box 4 is placed directly below the feeding port 15 at the bottom of the mounting platform 1. To facilitate precise control of the raw material weight, an electronic weighing plate 9 is installed at the top of the fixed plate 8 inside the feeding channel 7 to detect the weight of the corn raw material and transmit the weight information to the display installed on the outside of the feeding channel 7 for timely observation by the operator. The operator can drive the fixed shaft 10 to rotate by activating the second servo motor 11, thus making the fixed shaft 10 rotate. When plate 8 and electronic weighing plate 9 are rotated to 90 degrees, the corn raw material is guided by gravity through the pair of guide plates 14 under the influence of gravity, and then enters the puffing machine body 2 through the feeding channel 12 to complete the feeding operation. Then, the puffing machine body 2 drives the connecting shaft 6 to rotate through the first servo motor 5, which causes the auger blades inside the puffing machine body 2 to rotate the corn raw material, thereby improving the quality of the corn raw material puffing. Finally, the puffed corn is controlled by the gate to enter the collection box 4 from the discharge port 15.
