Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of pressing dough, especially to a dough pressing machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The dough pressing machine is a food machine for replacing traditional manual dough kneading, which can improve the gluten toughness of dough by repeatedly rolling the dough, so that the dough is resistant to cooking and breaking. In the traditional dough pressing machine, the dough enters the dough pressing mechanism through the lower conveying belt to form the dough wrapper, and the dough wrapper falls on the upper conveying belt and returns to the lower conveying belt. During the process of falling from the material output end of the upper conveying belt to the lower conveying belt, the dough wrapper needs to be folded into two layers by hand and then conveyed to the dough pressing mechanism for the next rolling. This process requires manual folding of the dough wrapper, resulting in high labor cost.

[0003] In addition, the thousand-layer crisp also needs to fold the dough wrapper repeatedly during production, and butter slices are placed between the folded dough wrappers, and then the folded dough wrappers are rolled. At present, the folding of the dough wrapper and the placement of the butter slices are completed by manual operation, which is complicated. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a dough pressing machine, which can automatically fold the dough wrapper without manual folding, thereby saving labor cost.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a dough pressing machine, which comprises a rack, a first conveying belt, a dough pressing mechanism and a second conveying belt arranged in sequence along the conveying direction on the rack, and the material output end of the second conveying belt is located above the middle part of the first conveying belt. The rack is also connected with a swing mechanism, which comprises a shifting rod at the swing end thereof. The shifting rod swings horizontally along a circular arc, is arranged horizontally and located above the conveying section of the first conveying belt, and the material output end of the second conveying belt is higher than the shifting rod.

[0006] As a further improvement of the utility model, the swing mechanism further comprises a swing driving device and a swing rod. The swing driving device is installed on the rack, the power output end of the swing driving device is connected with the lower end of the swing rod, and the upper end of the swing rod is connected with one end of the shifting rod.

[0007] As a further improvement of the utility model, the upper end of the swing rod and one end of the shifting rod are connected by rotation.

[0008] As a further improvement of the utility model, when the shifting rod swings directly below the return section of the second conveying belt, the shifting rod gradually moves downward to approach the conveying section of the first conveying belt; when the shifting rod swings away from the other side of the second conveying belt, the shifting rod gradually moves upward to move away from the conveying section of the first conveying belt.

[0009] As a further improvement of the utility model, a third conveying belt is further connected to the rack, the third conveying belt is located above the first conveying belt, and the material output ends of the third conveying belt and the second conveying belt are arranged adjacently.

[0010] As a further improvement of the utility model, an upper pressing roller and a supporting roller are further arranged adjacently, and the upper pressing roller and the supporting roller are respectively located on the upper side and the lower side of the conveying section of the third conveying belt.

[0011] As a further improvement of the utility model, a hopper is further arranged, the hopper is provided with a discharge port, the discharge port is located above the conveying section of the third conveying belt, and the discharge port, the upper pressing roller and the material output end of the third conveying belt are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the third conveying belt.

[0012] As a further improvement of the utility model, the dough pressing mechanism comprises a guide rotating wheel, a first pressing roller and a second pressing roller, all of which are rotatably connected to the rack and are all driving wheels; the guide rotating wheel is located on one side of the material output end of the first conveying belt, the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller are adjacently arranged and are both located above the guide rotating wheel; the guide rotating wheel and the first pressing roller rotate in the same direction, the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller rotate in opposite directions, and the second pressing roller is located on one side of the material input end of the second conveying belt.

[0013] Advantages

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the dough pressing machine has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. When the front end of the dough falls from the material output end of the second conveying belt to a certain height, the swinging rod of the swinging mechanism swings from one side to the other side, and pushes the front end of the dough to the side opposite to the conveying direction of the first conveying belt. At this time, the front end of the dough has not yet fallen on the first conveying belt, while the middle section of the dough has already fallen on the first conveying belt and moves towards the dough pressing mechanism, and then the front end of the dough falls on the first conveying belt. The rear section of the dough gradually falls down, and since the front section and the middle section of the dough are moving forward on the first conveying belt during the process, the rear section of the dough can gradually be stacked above the front section of the dough when it falls down. This process does not require manual folding of the dough, thereby saving labor cost.

[0016] 2. The swinging rod is rotatably connected to one end of the swinging rod, and when the front end of the dough is pushed to the side opposite to the conveying direction of the first conveying belt, the front end of the dough is hung on the swinging rod. With the movement of the first conveying belt with the dough towards the dough pressing mechanism, the front end of the dough is pulled down from the swinging rod and falls on the first conveying belt under the pulling force of the middle section of the dough, and the rotation of the swinging rod relative to the upper end of the swinging rod facilitates the pulling down of the front end of the dough from the swinging rod and the falling of the front end of the dough on the first conveying belt. The rotation of the swinging rod around its own axis can reduce the resistance of the front end of the dough when it is pulled.

[0017] 3. When the lever swings directly below the return section of the second conveyor belt, the lever gradually moves downward toward the conveying section of the first conveyor belt; when the lever drives the front end of the dough to swing away from the second conveyor belt, the lever gradually moves upward away from the conveying section of the first conveyor belt. During this process, the front end of the dough is also suspended in the air. The weight of the front end of the dough can be used to pull the front end of the dough off the lever, which makes it easier for the front end of the dough to fall off the lever automatically.

[0018] 4. The third conveyor belt is used to transport auxiliary materials such as butter sheets. As the front section of the dough gradually falls onto the first conveyor belt, the third conveyor belt transports the butter sheets, causing them to gradually fall from the material output end of the third conveyor belt. The front end of the butter sheet lands on the middle section of the dough already on the first conveyor belt. As the front section of the dough and the front end of the butter sheet move forward together, the butter sheet completely lands on the front section of the dough. Finally, the rear section of the dough falls down and covers the butter sheet, completing the folding of the dough and sandwiching the butter sheet between the upper and lower sections. The dough with the butter sheet sandwiched in it moves into the dough pressing mechanism and is rolled. This process eliminates the need for manual insertion of the butter sheet, further saving labor costs.

[0019] 5. Solid butter falls from the outlet of the hopper onto the third conveyor belt, where it is squeezed by the upper pressure roller and the third conveyor belt to form butter sheets. The freshly formed butter sheets can be placed directly onto the dough, saving the step of rolling the butter into thin sheets and refrigerating them, thus reducing energy consumption.

[0029] Embodiments of the present application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Embodiments

[0031] As shown in the specific embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 7 a noodle pressing machine, comprising a rack 1, the rack 1 is provided with a first conveying belt 2, a noodle pressing mechanism 3 and a second conveying belt 4 arranged in sequence along the conveying direction, and the material output end of the second conveying belt 4 is located above the middle part of the first conveying belt 2. The rack 1 is further connected with a swing mechanism 5, the swing mechanism 5 comprises a poking rod 52 at the swing end thereof, the poking rod 52 swings along a circular arc in the transverse direction, the poking rod 52 is arranged in the transverse direction and located above the conveying section of the first conveying belt 2, and the material output end of the second conveying belt 4 is located higher than the poking rod 52.

[0032] The swing mechanism 5 further comprises a swing driving device 53 and a swing rod 51, the swing driving device 53 is installed on the rack 1, the power output end of the swing driving device 53 is connected with the lower end of the swing rod 51, and the upper end of the swing rod 51 is connected with one end of the poking rod 52. In the present embodiment, the upper end of the swing rod 51 and one end of the poking rod 52 are connected in rotation. The swing driving device 53 adopts a motor.

[0033] When the poking rod 52 swings directly below the backflow section (the backflow section is the non-conveying section of the conveying belt, and the backflow section is located below the conveying section of the conveying belt) of the second conveying belt 4, the poking rod 52 gradually moves downward to approach the conveying section of the first conveying belt 2, and this swinging mode is achieved by arranging the swing axis of the swing rod 51 at the left side directly below the material output end of the second conveying belt 4, as shown in Figures 3 to 6 When the poking rod 52 swings away from the other side of the second conveying belt 4, the poking rod 52 gradually moves upward away from the conveying section of the first conveying belt 2.

[0034] The rack 1 is further connected with a third conveying belt 6, the third conveying belt 6 is located above the first conveying belt 2, and the material output ends of the third conveying belt 6 and the second conveying belt 4 are arranged adjacent to each other. In the present embodiment, the third conveying belt 6 is located at the left side of the second conveying belt 4.

[0035] The noodle pressing machine further comprises an upper pressing roller 71 and a supporting roller 72 arranged oppositely, the upper pressing roller 71 and the supporting roller 72 are respectively located at the upper side and the lower side of the conveying section of the third conveying belt 6. In Figures 3 to 6In the middle, the upper pressure roller 71 is an active roller that rotates counterclockwise, and the upper pressure roller 71 is connected to a drive motor, which is mounted on the frame 1; the support roller 72 is a non-powered roller that rotates clockwise.

[0036] The dough press also includes a hopper 8, with a discharge port 81 at the bottom of the hopper 8. The discharge port 81 is located above the conveying section of the third conveyor belt 6. The discharge port 81, the upper pressure roller 71, and the material output end of the third conveyor belt 6 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the third conveyor belt 6.

[0037] The dough pressing mechanism 3 includes a guide roller 31, a first pressure roller 32, and a second pressure roller 33, all of which are rotatably connected to the frame 1. All three are drive rollers, driven by a motor mounted on the frame 1. The guide roller 31 is located on the material output side of the first conveyor belt 2. The first pressure roller 32 and the second pressure roller 33 are arranged adjacent to each other and both located above the guide roller 31. The guide roller 31 and the first pressure roller 32 rotate in the same direction, while the first pressure roller 32 and the second pressure roller 33 rotate in opposite directions. The second pressure roller 33 is located on the material input side of the second conveyor belt 4.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the conveying sections of both the first conveyor belt 2 and the third conveyor belt 6 convey materials from left to right, while the conveying section of the second conveyor belt 4 conveys materials from right to left. The guide roller 31 rotates clockwise, the first pressure roller 32 rotates clockwise, and the second pressure roller 33 rotates counterclockwise. After the front end of the dough sheet 9 moves out from the material output end on the right side of the first conveyor belt 2, it moves between the first pressure roller 32 and the second pressure roller 33 under the drive of the guide roller 31. The dough sheet 9 is rolled and pressed as it passes between the first pressure roller 32 and the second pressure roller 33. The height of the second pressure roller 33 is set slightly lower than that of the first pressure roller 32, so that after the dough sheet 9 is squeezed by the first pressure roller 32 and the second pressure roller 33, it can move to the left with the rotation of the second pressure roller 33 and fall onto the material input end of the second conveyor belt 4.

[0039] A third optical sensor 14 can be installed above the second conveyor belt 4. The third optical sensor 14 is installed on the frame 1 and is used to detect the time interval when the front and rear ends of each dough sheet 9 pass by. Combined with the conveying speed of the second conveyor belt 4, the controller can determine the length of each dough sheet 9 that passes by.

[0040] When the front end of the dough 9 falls from the material output end of the second conveyor belt 4 to a certain height, the lever 52 of the swing mechanism 5 swings from the right to the left, pushing the front end of the dough 9 (the lower end when the dough 9 is hanging) to the side opposite to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 2. At this time, the front end of the dough 9 has not yet fallen on the first conveyor belt 2, while the middle section of the dough 9 has already fallen on the first conveyor belt 2 and moved towards the dough pressing mechanism 3, and the front end of the dough 9 slides off the lever 52 and then falls on the first conveyor belt 2. The rear section of the dough 9 gradually falls afterwards. Since the front section and the middle section of the dough 9 are both moving forward (to the right in this case) on the first conveyor belt 2 during this process, the rear section of the dough 9 can gradually stack on top of the front section of the dough 9 when it falls. Figures 3 to 6

[0041] When the dough folding machine only needs to fold the dough and does not need to put auxiliary materials such as butter pieces 10 between the folded doughs, the rack 1 can not be equipped with the third conveyor belt 6, the hopper 8, the upper pressing roller 71, the supporting roller 72, etc., or it can be equipped with the third conveyor belt 6, the hopper 8, the upper pressing roller 71, the supporting roller 72, etc. but these structures are not working.

[0042] When it is necessary to put butter pieces 10 between the folded doughs 9, the third conveyor belt 6, the hopper 8, the upper pressing roller 71, the supporting roller 72, etc. are needed. In order to improve the folding accuracy of the dough 9 and control the timing of the butter pieces 10 falling, the first optical sensor 12 and the second optical sensor 13 are provided on the rack 1. The first optical sensor 12, the second optical sensor 13, the third optical sensor 14, the conveyor belts, and the swing driving device 53 are all electrically connected to the controller. The first optical sensor 12 is located below the material output end of the second conveyor belt 4. When the front end of the dough 9 falls from the material output end of the second conveyor belt 4 to a certain height, it is sensed by the first optical sensor 12. At this time, the controller drives the lever 52 to swing to the left and pushes the front end of the dough 9 to the left.

[0043] The second optical sensor 13 is provided above the third conveyor belt 6. When the front end of the butter piece 10 moves to the lower side of the third conveyor belt 6 to the right, it is sensed. At this time, the third conveyor belt 6 stops and is in a waiting state. When the controller has calculated the length of the dough 9 in this pass in cooperation with the third optical sensor 14, according to the time length after the front end of the dough 9 is sensed by the first optical sensor 12, and according to the conveying speeds of the second conveyor belt 4 and the first conveyor belt 2, the third conveyor belt 6 is restarted at the appropriate time point, so that the front end of the butter piece 10 can basically fall on the middle section of the dough 9 when it falls, so that the butter piece 10 can be clamped between the upper and lower layers of the folded dough 9, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 ​The dough 9 with the butter slice 10 sandwiched is rolled again by the first roller 32 and the second roller 33 of the rolling mechanism 5, and then falls again on the second conveying belt 4, and after being folded again, a new butter slice 10 is sandwiched in the middle, and then the dough 9 continues to enter the rolling mechanism to be rolled, and after being folded for several times, the dough can be used to make the puff pastry.

[0044] The solid butter is extruded from the discharge port 81 of the hopper 8 and falls on the third conveying belt 6, and is driven to move rightwards by the third conveying belt 6, and is extruded by the upper roller 71 and the third conveying belt 6 to form the butter slice 10. In order to prevent the butter slice 10 from being unable to normally fall due to being stuck to the material discharging end of the third conveying belt 6, a scraper 61 with the blade facing upwards is arranged at the material discharging end of the third conveying belt 6, and a small gap is left between the blade of the scraper 61 and the material discharging end of the third conveying belt 6, and the scraper 61 is fixedly connected at both ends to the rack 1. When the front end of the butter slice 10 moves to the scraper 61, the blade of the scraper 61 drives the butter slice 10 to separate from the third conveying belt 6, so that the butter slice 10 can normally fall.

[0045] The utility model has been described above in combination with the best embodiment, but the utility model is not limited to the above disclosed embodiments, and should cover various modifications, equivalent combinations according to the essence of the utility model.
