Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pancake machine technology, specifically an automatic pancake spreading machine that can automatically dispense ingredients. Background Technology
[0002] An automatic pancake machine is a device that automates the entire process of making pancakes, from spreading the batter, heating it, flipping it, to the finished product.
[0003] The automatic pancake machine mainly consists of a batter storage and conveying system, a heating plate, a leveling device, a flipping device, and a control system. The prepared batter is poured into a batter container for storage. The control system sets parameters such as the thickness, time, and temperature of the pancake. The batter is evenly spread on the heating plate through the conveying system. The leveling device ensures a consistent thickness. The heating plate heats the batter. After flipping the pancake, it is automatically delivered.
[0004] During the pancake making process, if the batter is too viscous or too fluid, uneven distribution and inconsistent pancake thickness are likely to occur during the pouring process. The batter will also adhere to the pouring nozzle during the pouring process, which can lead to residue buildup and blockage and contamination problems over time.
[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides an automatic pancake making machine that can automatically dispense ingredients. Utility Model Content

[0022] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the figure, an automatic pancake maker with automatic material feeding according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a material storage box 1; a material inlet 10 is provided at the top of the material storage box 1; a material outlet pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material storage box 1; a motor 12 is installed at the top of the material storage box 1; the output end of the motor 12 passes through the top of the material storage box 1; a rotating shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 12; the rotating shaft 13 passes through the bottom of the material storage box 1; a rotating drum 14 is fixedly connected to the middle of the rotating shaft 13; a material outlet hole 15 is provided at the bottom of the rotating drum 14; and a fixing rod 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 13. A threaded brush 17 is installed in the middle of the rod 16; a collection component 2 is installed at the bottom of the storage box 1; during operation, the batter is placed inside the storage box 1 through the feed inlet 10, and the batter enters the middle of the rotating drum 14. When making pancakes, the control motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate through its output end, which in turn drives the rotating drum 14 to rotate. When the discharge hole 15 coincides with the discharge pipe 11, the motor 12 stops rotating, and the batter enters the rotating drum 14 through the discharge hole 15. When the motor 12 stops, the output of the motor 12 is released. The end rotates again, and the discharge hole 15 moves away from the discharge pipe 11. The batter is blocked by the bottom of the storage box 1. At this time, the rotating shaft 13 drives the rotating fixed rod 16 past the end of the discharge pipe 11. The threaded brush 17 cleans the batter residue at the end of the discharge pipe 11. The threaded brush 17 continues to move to the position of the collection component 2. The collection component 2 removes and collects the batter residue attached to the middle of the threaded brush 17. The motor 12 stops rotating. When dispensing batter again, the above operation is repeated. The above structure can quantitatively dispense batter, maintaining a consistent flow rate. The amount of batter is the same each time, so that the size and thickness of the pancake box are consistent. This reduces the risk of insufficient batter or waste caused by too much or too little batter. At the same time, the end of the discharge pipe 11 is cleaned after the batter is poured to reduce the amount of batter that solidifies or remains at the discharge port. The end of the discharge pipe 11 is cleaned in time by the threaded brush 17 to reduce the blockage of the discharge pipe 11. This effectively reduces the risk of batter residue at the end of the discharge pipe 11, which may cause spoilage or bacterial growth. The cleaned discharge pipe 11 also allows the batter to fall smoothly, reducing equipment failure or downtime caused by blockage.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the collection assembly 2 includes a connecting rod 21; the connecting rod 21 is fixed to the bottom of the storage box 1; an installation assembly 3 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 21; a collection box 22 is installed in the middle of the installation assembly 3; a first scraper 23 is fixed to the top of the collection box 22; the first scraper 23 is fixed to one side of the collection box 22; during operation, the collection box 22 is installed at the end of the connecting rod 21 through the installation assembly 3. When the threaded brush 17 is rotated by the rotating shaft 13, the threaded brush 17 passes the top of the collection box 22, and the first scraper 23 scrapes off the residue on the surface of the threaded brush 17. The residue enters the collection box 22 through the first scraper 23 and is collected by the collection box 22. The above structure can effectively scrape off the residue attached to the threaded brush 17. Timely scraping of these residues can effectively reduce the accumulation of residues. Regular cleaning can effectively reduce the corrosion or wear of the threaded brush 17 by the residues, extend the service life of the threaded brush 17, reduce the residues falling onto the pancake or other parts of the equipment, and reduce pollution.
[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the mounting assembly 3 includes a fixing block 31; the fixing block 31 is fixedly connected to the end of the collection box 22; the fixing block 31 is mounted on the end of the connecting rod 21; a groove 32 is formed in the middle of the connecting rod 21; two mounting blocks 33 are slidably connected to the end of the connecting rod 21; springs 34 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two mounting blocks 33; during operation, when installing the collection box 22, the fixing block 31 is first aligned with the end of the connecting rod 21, the fixing block 31 applies pressure to the two mounting blocks 33, and the mounting blocks 33 slide towards the middle of the groove 32, and the springs 34... 34. When the mounting block 33 coincides with the sliding groove 32 in the middle of the fixing block 31, the mounting block 33 moves back to the middle of the fixing block 31 through the elastic retraction of the spring 34. The collection box 22 is fixed to the end of the connecting rod 21 by the fixing block 31. With the above structure, the collection box 22 can be quickly disassembled, which makes it convenient for operators to clean up the residue, reduce downtime, and the quick disassembly can clean the collection box 22 frequently, reducing the accumulation of residue and the occurrence of deterioration or bacterial growth. Timely cleaning of the collection box 22 reduces the waste of raw materials.
[0026] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a heating chamber 4 is provided in the middle of the storage box 1; a heating wire 41 is installed in the middle of the heating chamber 4; during operation, when the batter is placed inside the storage box 1 and stored, the heating wire 41 is turned on to generate heat on its surface. The heat is stored inside the heating chamber 4, and the heat inside the heating chamber 4 is transferred to the inside of the rotating drum 14 through the side wall of the storage box 1, so that the batter remains fluid. The above structure maintains the temperature inside the rotating drum 14, reduces the cooling of the batter due to long-term storage, reduces the decrease in fluidity, and ensures that the overall temperature of the batter is uniform, reducing local overheating or overcooling inside the rotating drum 14. This allows the batter to maintain stable discharge fluidity and pancake quality even when stored for a long time.
[0027] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a support rod 5 is fixed to the top of the storage bin 1; the support rod 5 is located inside the storage bin 1; a second scraper 51 is fixed to the middle of the support rod 5; the middle of the second scraper 51 is in contact with the surface of the rotating drum 14; during operation, as the rotating shaft 13 drives the rotating drum 14 to rotate, the second scraper 51 scrapes off the residue attached to the surface of the rotating drum 14, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the rotating drum 14. Through the above structure, the second scraper 51 can periodically or continuously scrape off the paste adhering to the inner wall of the rotating drum 14, reducing the accumulation or hardening of the paste on the inner wall of the rotating drum 14, reducing the difficulty of cleaning, and can scrape the paste adhering to the inner wall of the rotating drum 14 back into the rotating drum 14, reducing raw material waste.
[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, multiple fixing plates 6 are fixedly connected to the middle of the support rod 5; the multiple fixing plates 6 are equidistantly distributed; the fixing plates 6 are inclined; during operation, when the rotating drum 14 drives the batter to rotate, the batter passes through the multiple fixing plates 6, and the batter is stirred by the multiple fixing plates 6. The above-mentioned scraper can continuously stir the batter, so that the batter concentration is kept uniform, the batter lumps are reduced, the batter fluidity is guaranteed, and thus the quality of the pancake is improved.
[0029] like Figure 2 As shown, the discharge hole 15 is set at an angle. During operation, when the discharge hole 15 coincides with the discharge pipe 11, the batter flows downward through the angled setting of the discharge hole 15. The above structure can effectively increase the smoothness of the batter falling process, making the batter easier to slide down naturally and reducing the blockage of the discharge pipe 11.
[0030] During operation, the batter is placed inside the storage tank 1 through the feed inlet 10. The batter enters the middle of the rotating drum 14. When making pancakes, the control motor 12 drives the rotating shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating drum 14 to rotate. When the discharge hole 15 aligns with the discharge pipe 11, the motor 12 stops rotating, and the batter enters the rotating drum 14 through the discharge hole 15. When the motor 12 stops, its output rotates again, and the discharge hole 15 moves away from the discharge pipe 11. The batter is then blocked by the bottom of the storage tank 1. At this time, the rotating shaft 13 drives the rotating fixed rod 16 to rotate. After passing through the end of the discharge pipe 11, the threaded brush 17 cleans the batter residue at the end of the discharge pipe 11. The threaded brush 17 continues to move to the position of the collection component 2, where the collection component 2 removes and collects the batter residue adhering to the middle of the threaded brush 17. The motor 12 stops rotating. When the batter is discharged again, the above operation is repeated. The collection box 22 is installed at the end of the connecting rod 21 via the mounting component 3. When the threaded brush 17 is rotated by the rotating shaft 13, the threaded brush 17 passes the top of the collection box 22, and the first scraper 23 scrapes off the residue on the surface of the threaded brush 17. The residue is then removed by the first scraper 23. The residue is collected inside the collection box 22. When installing the collection box 22, first align the fixing block 31 with the end of the connecting rod 21. The fixing block 31 applies pressure to the two mounting blocks 33, causing the mounting blocks 33 to slide towards the center of the sliding groove 32. The spring 34 elastically contracts. When the mounting block 33 aligns with the sliding groove 32 in the center of the fixing block 31, the mounting block 33 elastically returns to its original position via the spring 34 and moves towards the center of the fixing block 31. The collection box 22 is then fixed to the end of the connecting rod 21 by the fixing block 31. During the storage of the batter inside the storage box 1, the heating wire 41 is activated. Heat is generated on the surface of the heating wire 41 and stored inside the heating chamber 4. The heat inside the heating chamber 4 is transferred to the inside of the rotating drum 14 through the side wall of the storage box 1, keeping the batter fluid. As the rotating shaft 13 drives the rotating drum 14 to rotate, the second scraper 51 scrapes off the residue attached to the surface of the rotating drum 14, thereby cleaning the inner side wall of the rotating drum 14. When the rotating drum 14 drives the batter to rotate, the batter passes through multiple fixed plates 6 and is stirred by the multiple fixed plates 6. When the discharge hole 15 coincides with the discharge pipe 11, the batter flows downward through the inclined surface of the discharge hole 15.
