Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of food processing machinery technology, and in particular to a dumpling shaping device. Background Technology
[0002] Dumplings are boiled dumplings, a type of semi-circular pasta dish with filling wrapped in dough. They originated from the ancient jiaozi and were also known as jiaozi.
[0003] For the shaping of dumplings, common practices in the industry include manual cooking and steam heating. Manual cooking is simple and easy, but it is inefficient because it is done entirely by manpower and can easily cause uneven water temperature, affecting product quality. Steam heating raises the water temperature by introducing steam into the container. Although it can maintain a stable water temperature, it is slow, takes up more space, and is not conducive to production line layout.
[0004] Both manual cooking and steam heating methods pose significant safety hazards in practice, especially during the placement and removal of dumplings, where operators are easily scalded by hot water or steam. This application provides a dumpling shaping device. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this application provides a dumpling shaping device that overcomes the deficiencies of the prior art. It aims to solve the problem that both manual cooking and steam heating methods have significant safety hazards in actual operation, especially the problem that operators are easily scalded by hot water or steam during the process of placing and removing dumplings.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a dumpling shaping device, comprising a machine body, wherein a heating mechanism is provided inside the machine body, a fixed frame is fixedly installed at the top of the machine body, a net bag is snapped onto the top of the machine body via the fixed frame, an adjustment mechanism is connected to one side of the net bag, the adjustment mechanism includes two sets of rotating seats, the two sets of rotating seats are symmetrically installed at the top of the fixed frame, an extension plate is fixedly installed at the top of the net bag, a connecting block is fixedly installed on one side of the extension plate, and rotating shafts are fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting block, one end of one set of rotating shafts passes through the rotating seat and a motor is fixedly installed thereon, and the other set of rotating shafts is rotatably connected to the adjacent rotating seat.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, an appropriate amount of clean water is first added to the machine body, and the water in the machine body is heated by the heating mechanism. When the water temperature rises to the predetermined value, the operator starts the motor, which drives the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the extension plate to rotate through the connecting block, thereby causing the extension plate to rotate the net bag to tilt to a suitable angle. Then, the raw dumplings are gently poured into it. During this process, because the net bag is set at a certain angle, the potential risk of burns is effectively reduced. After the dumplings are heated, the motor drives the net bag to rotate a certain angle within a small range, so that the residual water in the dumplings can quickly flow out through the mesh on the side of the net bag. Then, the motor continues to drive the net bag to rotate, so that the dumplings in the net bag can smoothly transition to the next process through the extension plate. This application avoids contact between the operator's hands and steam as much as possible during the process of placing and taking out the dumplings, which greatly improves the safety during use.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the heating mechanism includes a steam conveying pipe located on the outside of the machine body. A three-way connector is fixedly installed on one side of the machine body. One set of connectors of the three-way connector is connected to one end of the steam conveying pipe. The other two sets of connectors of the three-way connector are fixedly installed with heating pipes through the side wall of the machine body. The two sets of heating pipes are located below the mesh bag. Several sets of fine holes are opened at the top of the heating pipes.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, steam is introduced into the machine through a steam delivery pipe connected to an external steam generator. The steam is then distributed to two sets of heating pipes via a three-way connector. The heating pipes release steam evenly through several small holes at the top, heating and shaping the dumplings. The water inside the machine is heated indirectly through high-temperature steam, effectively increasing the heating rate of the water.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a controller is fixedly installed on one side of the machine body, a temperature sensor is fixedly installed inside the wall of the machine body, the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to the motor.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the water temperature is monitored in real time by a temperature sensor. When the water temperature reaches the preset standard, the controller receives the monitoring data from the temperature sensor and controls the motor to drive the net bag to rotate counterclockwise, which makes it easier for the operator to safely put in the unshaped dumplings, thus improving the automation level of the device.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this application, an alarm is fixedly installed on one side of the controller, and the alarm is electrically connected to the controller.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, when the controller receives abnormal monitoring data from the temperature sensor, it will issue an alarm, which helps to remind operators to solve the problem in a timely manner and improves the safety of operation.
[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, side baffles are fixedly installed on both sides of the extension plate.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the side baffles prevent dumplings from falling off the sides of the extension board during placement and removal, thus improving the practicality of use.
[0016] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the bottom end of the machine body is rotatably connected to four sets of universal wheels, and the four sets of universal wheels are respectively located at the four corners of the bottom end of the machine body.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution and using four sets of omnidirectional wheels, the machine body can move effortlessly, improving its flexibility.
[0018] As a preferred technical solution of this application, bearings are fixedly installed at the connection between the two sets of rotating shafts and the rotating seat.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the friction and resistance of the rotating shaft during the adjustment process at the rotating seat are reduced by the bearing, which is conducive to smoother and more stable adjustment of the net bag.
[0020] As a preferred technical solution of this application, a bracket is fixedly installed at the bottom of the motor, a diagonal brace is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bracket, and the side of the diagonal brace away from the bracket is fixedly installed on the side wall of the machine body.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the motor is supported by brackets and diagonal braces, which improves the stability and reliability of the motor during operation.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0023] 1. By first adding an appropriate amount of clean water into the machine, the water inside the machine is heated using a heating mechanism. When the water temperature reaches a predetermined value, the operator starts the motor, causing the motor to drive the rotating shaft to rotate. The rotating shaft drives the extension plate to rotate through the connecting block, thereby causing the extension plate to rotate the mesh bag to tilt to a suitable angle. Then, the raw dumplings are gently poured into it. During this process, because the mesh bag is set at a certain angle, the potential risk of burns is effectively reduced. After the dumplings are heated, the motor drives the mesh bag to rotate a certain angle within a small range, allowing the residual water in the dumplings to flow out quickly through the mesh on the side of the mesh bag. Then, the motor continues to drive the mesh bag to rotate, allowing the dumplings in the mesh bag to smoothly transition to the next process through the extension plate. This application minimizes the contact between the operator's hands and steam during the process of placing and removing dumplings, greatly improving the safety during use.
[0024] 2. The steam is introduced into the machine by connecting to an external steam generator through a steam delivery pipe. The steam is then distributed to two sets of heating pipes via a three-way connector. The heating pipes release the steam evenly through several small holes at the top, which heats and shapes the dumplings. The water inside the machine is heated indirectly by high-temperature steam, which effectively increases the heating rate of the water. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 A dumpling shaping device includes a body 1, a heating mechanism 2 inside the body 1, a fixed frame 3 fixedly installed at the top of the body 1, a net bag 4 connected to the top of the body 1 via the fixed frame 3, an adjustment mechanism 5 connected to one side of the net bag 4, the adjustment mechanism 5 including two sets of rotating seats 501, the two sets of rotating seats 501 being symmetrically installed at the top of the fixed frame 3, an extension plate 504 fixedly installed at the top of the net bag 4, a connecting block 502 fixedly installed on one side of the extension plate 504, and rotating shafts 503 fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting block 502, one end of one set of rotating shafts 503 passing through the rotating seat 501 and fixedly installed with a motor 505, the other set of rotating shafts 503 being rotatably connected to the adjacent rotating seat 501; a controller 6 fixedly installed on one side of the body 1, a temperature sensor 7 fixedly installed inside the wall of the body 1, the temperature sensor 7 being electrically connected to the controller 6, and the controller 6 being electrically connected to the motor 505.
[0032] First, add an appropriate amount of clean water into the machine body 1. Then, use the heating mechanism 2 to heat the water in the machine body 1. When the water temperature reaches the predetermined value, the operator starts the motor 505, which drives the rotating shaft 503 to rotate. The rotating shaft 503 drives the extension plate 504 to rotate through the connecting block 502. This causes the extension plate 504 to rotate the net bag 4 to tilt to a suitable angle. Then, the raw dumplings are gently poured into the net bag. During this process, the net bag 4 is tilted at a certain angle, which effectively reduces the potential risk of burns. After the dumplings are heated, the motor 505 drives the net bag 4 to rotate slightly to remove any remaining water from the dumplings. The dumplings flow out quickly through the side mesh of the net bag 4, and then the motor 505 drives the net bag 4 to rotate, so that the dumplings in the net bag 4 can smoothly transition to the next process through the extension plate 504. This application avoids contact between the operator's hands and steam as much as possible during the process of placing and taking out dumplings, which greatly improves the safety of use. The water temperature is monitored in real time by the temperature sensor 7. When the water temperature reaches the preset standard, the controller 6 receives the monitoring data from the temperature sensor 7 and controls the motor 505 to drive the net bag 4 to rotate counterclockwise, which makes it easier for the operator to safely put in the unshaped dumplings, thus improving the automation level of this device.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 The heating mechanism 2 includes a steam delivery pipe 201, which is located on the outside of the body 1. A three-way connector 202 is fixedly installed on one side of the body 1. One set of connectors of the three-way connector 202 is connected to one end of the steam delivery pipe 201. The other two sets of connectors of the three-way connector 202 pass through the side wall of the body 1 and are fixedly installed with heating pipes 203. The two sets of heating pipes 203 are located below the net bag 4. Several sets of fine holes 204 are opened on the top of the heating pipes 203. An alarm 8 is fixedly installed on one side of the controller 6. The alarm 8 is electrically connected to the controller 6.
[0034] Steam is introduced through the steam delivery pipe 201 to an external steam generator and distributed to two sets of heating pipes 203 via the three-way connector 202. The heating pipes 203 release steam evenly through several small holes 204 at the top to heat and shape the dumplings. The water inside the machine body 1 is heated indirectly by high-temperature steam, which effectively increases the heating rate of the water. When the controller 6 receives abnormal monitoring data from the temperature sensor 7, the alarm 8 will sound an alarm, which helps to remind the operator to solve the problem in time and improves the safety of operation.
[0035] Reference Figure 1-3 Side baffles 9 are fixedly installed on both sides of the extension plate 504; bearings are fixedly installed at the connection between the two sets of rotating shafts 503 and the rotating seat 501; the side baffles 9 prevent dumplings from falling off the sides of the extension plate 504 during placement and removal, thus improving practicality; the bearings reduce the friction and resistance of the rotating shafts 503 during adjustment at the rotating seat 501, which is conducive to smoother and more stable adjustment of the net bag 4.
[0036] Reference Figure 1-3 Four sets of casters 10 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the body 1, and the four sets of casters 10 are located at the four corners of the bottom of the body 1. A bracket 11 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the motor 505, and a diagonal brace 12 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bracket 11. The side of the diagonal brace 12 away from the bracket 11 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the body 1. The four sets of casters 10 enable the body 1 to move with less effort, improving the flexibility of the body 1. The bracket 11 and the diagonal brace 12 support the motor 505, improving the stability and reliability of the motor 505 during operation.
[0037] Working principle: First, add an appropriate amount of water to the machine body 1. The heating mechanism 2 heats the water in the machine body 1. When the water temperature reaches the predetermined value, the operator starts the motor 505, which drives the rotating shaft 503 to rotate. The rotating shaft 503 drives the extension plate 504 to rotate through the connecting block 502. This causes the extension plate 504 to rotate the net bag 4 to tilt to a suitable angle. Then, the raw dumplings are gently poured into the net bag. During this process, the net bag 4 is tilted at a certain angle, which effectively reduces the potential risk of burns. After the dumplings are heated, the motor 505 drives the net bag 4 to rotate slightly to allow any remaining water from the dumplings to pass through the mesh on the side of the net bag 4. The water flows out quickly, and then the motor 505 drives the net bag 4 to rotate, so that the dumplings in the net bag 4 can smoothly transition to the next process through the extension plate 504. In this application, the operator avoids contact between the hands and steam as much as possible during the process of placing and taking out the dumplings, which greatly improves the safety during use. The steam is introduced into the external steam generating equipment through the steam delivery pipe 201, and distributed to the two sets of heating pipes 203 through the three-way connector 202. The heating pipes 203 release the steam evenly through several small holes 204 on the top, which heats and shapes the dumplings. The water in the machine body 1 is heated by indirect heat transfer of high temperature steam, which effectively improves the heating rate of the water temperature.
[0038] The device monitors the water temperature in real time via temperature sensor 7. When the water temperature reaches the preset standard, the controller 6 receives the monitoring data from temperature sensor 7 and controls motor 505 to drive net bag 4 to rotate counterclockwise, making it easier for the operator to safely put in the unshaped dumplings, thus improving the automation level of the device. When the controller 6 receives abnormal monitoring data from temperature sensor 7, it will issue an alarm via alarm 8, which helps to remind the operator to solve the problem in time and improves the safety during operation.
[0039] Meanwhile, the side baffle 9 prevents dumplings from falling off the sides of the extension plate 504 during placement and removal, improving practicality during use; the four sets of casters 10 enable the machine body 1 to move effortlessly, improving its flexibility.
[0040] In addition, the bearing reduces the friction and resistance of the rotating shaft 503 during the adjustment process at the rotating seat 501, which is conducive to smoother and more stable adjustment of the net bag 4; the bracket 11 and the diagonal brace 12 support the motor 505, which improves the stability and reliability of the motor 505 during operation.
