Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet butter processing technology, and more specifically, to a precise metering device for the resting and shaping of sheet butter. Background Technology

[0002] Sheet butter is mainly used to make layered foods such as Danish pastries and croissants. By layering sheet butter onto dough, stretching it, and then baking it, layered foods with multiple textures and flavors can be created. The traditional sheet butter production process includes steps such as emulsion preparation, rapid cooling and kneading, crystal stabilization, extrusion molding, and cutting. Among these, extrusion molding is one of the key steps, as it determines the shape, size, and uniformity of the sheet butter.

[0003] Currently, when sheet butter is extruded and discharged from the outlet, it needs to be collected and accurately measured. This is done by placing a collection box below the outlet and above an electronic scale. Once the weight is appropriate, the extruder is turned off, and the collection box is removed and replaced with the next one. However, this method has certain drawbacks. First, manually monitoring and replacing each collection box is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to inaccurate measurement due to human error, affecting product quality and production efficiency. Second, the extruder needs to be manually turned off every time a collection box reaches the predetermined weight, which is very inconvenient, and improper operation can easily lead to uneven measurement.

[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, it is necessary for the applicant to design a precise metering device for the resting and molding of sheet butter. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a precise metering device for the resting and shaping of sheet butter, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art by designing a mechanism for automated continuous collection of multiple collection boxes.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a precise metering device for sheet-like butter resting molding, including: an intermittent extruder and a collection platform. A turntable one is electrically rotatably mounted on the top of the collection platform, and a turntable two is fixedly mounted on the top of the turntable one. A metering and collection assembly is arranged in a ring on the turntable two. The metering and collection assembly includes a collection box that slides through an opening on the turntable two. The bottom of the collection box is attached to the top of a lifting plate. The lifting plate is slidably connected by four guide rods, which are fixed between the turntable one and the turntable two. A spring connects the top of the lifting plate to the bottom of the turntable two. A series controller is installed in a row of openings on the turntable one. The buttons on the top of the series controller are located at the bottom of each lifting plate. When the buttons of the series controller are pressed, the turntable one is driven to rotate a certain angle.

[0007] Preferably, the metering and collection assembly further includes a row of curved slides installed in a ring on the top of the turntable, the curved slides having raised surfaces on both sides, and the other two sides of the curved slides fitting into the collection box.

[0008] Preferably, a spacing sensor is installed on the top of the lifting plate to measure the spacing between the lifting plate and the turntable.

[0009] Preferably, rubber pads are adhered to the four sides and bottom of the inside of the collection box, and a layer of plastic film can be adhered to the surface of the rubber pads.

[0010] Preferably, a motor is installed at the bottom of the collection platform, and the motor shaft is connected to the bottom of the turntable. The collection platform has a concave design, and a drive gear is fixed on the outer wall of the concave part of the shaft. The drive gear is meshed with reduction gears on both sides. The reduction gear is rotatably installed on the top of the concave part of the collection platform and is designed to have a certain rotational resistance.

[0011] Preferably, a row of ball grooves is distributed in a ring at the bottom of the turntable, and steel balls are installed in the ball grooves and the steel balls roll on the top of the collection platform.

[0012] Preferably, the intermittent extruder has a fan installed on the side wall at the discharge end for blowing air onto the curved slide it passes through.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This utility model achieves automated intermittent extrusion and collection of butter through the coordinated operation of an intermittent extruder and a metering and collection component. Under the action of the lifting plate and guide rod, the collection box can automatically slide down as the weight of the butter increases. When the predetermined weight is reached, the turntable is triggered by the button of the extrusion series controller to bring the next empty collection box to the bottom of the extruder outlet. No manual monitoring or replacement is required. The collection of multiple collection boxes is completed automatically at one time, avoiding the problem of inaccurate metering caused by human operation error and ensuring product quality.

[0015] 2. By designing a curved slide, the grease that falls during the rotation of the turntable will land on the curved slide and slide smoothly and accurately into the removed collection box through the blowing action of the fan, thereby completing quantitative collection and improving the grease collection efficiency. Furthermore, when changing workstations, it is not necessary to shut down the intermittent extruder, which further improves the processing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides a precise metering device for sheet-like butter forming, comprising: an intermittent extruder 1 and a collection platform 2. A turntable 21 is electrically rotatably mounted on the top of the collection platform 2, and a turntable 22 is fixedly mounted on the top of the turntable 21. A metering and collecting assembly 3 is arranged in a ring on the turntable 22. The metering and collecting assembly 3 includes a collection box 31 that slides through an opening on the turntable 22. Six sets of collection boxes 31 are evenly distributed in a ring on the turntable 22, with a 60-degree angle between adjacent boxes. The bottom of the collection box 31 is attached to the top of a lifting plate 32. The lifting plate 32 is slidably connected by four guide rods 33, which are fixed between the turntable 21 and the turntable 22. A spring 34 connects the top of the lifting plate 32 to the bottom of the turntable 22. A series controller 35 is installed in a row of openings on the turntable 21. The buttons on the top of the series controller 35 are located at the bottom of each lifting plate 32. When the button of the series controller 35 is pressed, it drives the turntable 21 to rotate a certain angle.

[0025] With the design of the metering and collection component 3, during processing, six sets of collection boxes 31 are placed on the lifting plate 32 and pass through the opening of the turntable 21. One collection box 31 is located below the outlet of the intermittent extruder 1. When the sheet butter is being formed, the material is introduced into the intermittent extruder 1, which is an automated intermittent start-up. At regular intervals, a row of sheet butter is extruded and falls into the collection box 31 below. As the weight increases, the lifting plate 32 slides down through the guide rod 33 and overcomes the elastic force of the spring 34. When it descends to the designated height, the lifting plate 32 presses the button of a series controller 35. After the series controller 35 is activated, the starter motor 23 drives the turntable 22 and the turntable 21 to rotate 60 degrees, and then brings the next collection box 31 to the outlet of the intermittent extruder 1. This process can be repeated to complete the collection of multiple collection boxes 31 at one time, achieving precise quantitative collection and improving work efficiency.

[0026] The metering and collection assembly 3 also includes a row of curved slides 38 installed in a ring on the top of the turntable 22. The curved slides 38 are designed with raised surfaces 381 on both sides, and the other two sides of the curved slides 38 are attached to the collection box 31. A fan 11 is installed on the side wall of the intermittent extruder 1 at the discharge end for blowing air through the curved slides 38.

[0027] With the curved slide 38 design, during the change of workstations and the rotation of the turntable 22, one or two rows of grease flakes will fall. These grease flakes land on the curved slide 38 and slide into the removed collection box 31. Note that this part, together with the previously collected grease, constitutes the amount collected by the collection box 31. At the same time, during processing, the fan 11 starts working and blows air through the curved slide 38. This design ensures that the grease flakes falling on the curved slide 38 can slide smoothly and accurately into the collection box 31, avoiding the accumulation or sticking of grease flakes on the slide, keeping the slide clean and operating efficiently.

[0028] A spacing sensor 37 is installed on the top of the lifting plate 32 to measure the distance between the lifting plate 32 and the turntable 22.

[0029] By designing the spacing sensor 37, six collection boxes 31 can be placed on the lifting plate 32 and pass through the opening of the turntable 21, ensuring that each collection box 31 is at the same height. When a spring 34 is damaged and its tension decreases, the position of the collection box 31 will be lower, and the spring 34 can be replaced in time to ensure the accuracy of the work.

[0030] Rubber pads 36 are glued to the four sides and bottom of the inside of the collection box 31, and a plastic film can be glued to the surface of the rubber pads 36.

[0031] Through the above structural design, the rubber pad 36 inside the collection box 31 not only provides a cushioning effect, reducing the impact and vibration of the butter during the collection process, but also effectively prevents the butter from sticking to the inner wall of the collection box 31 through the plastic film on its surface.

[0032] A motor 23 is installed at the bottom of the collection platform 2. The shaft of the motor 23 is connected to the bottom of the turntable 21. The collection platform 2 has a concave design, and the shaft is located on the outer wall of the concave part with a drive gear 24 fixed. The drive gear 24 has reduction gears 25 meshing on both sides. The reduction gears 25 are rotatably installed on the top of the concave part of the collection platform 2 and are designed to have a certain rotational resistance. The motor 23 and the series controller 35 are electrically connected.

[0033] Through the above structural design, the motor 23 achieves smooth and precise rotation of turntable 21 and turntable 22 through the transmission system of the drive gear 24 and the reduction gear 25. The design of the reduction gear 25 not only reduces the speed of the motor 23 and increases the stability of rotation, but also effectively prevents the two turntables from rotating unexpectedly in non-operational states through its inherent rotational resistance, thus ensuring the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0034] A row of ball grooves is distributed in a ring at the bottom of the turntable 21, and steel balls 26 are installed in the ball grooves and roll on the top of the collection platform 2.

[0035] Through the above structural design, the ball groove and steel ball 26 at the bottom of the turntable 21 further enhance the rotation flexibility and stability of the turntable. When adjusting the work position, the turntable 21 rotates, and the steel ball 26 rolls on the top of the collection platform 2, reducing the friction between the turntable 21 and the collection platform 2, reducing energy consumption and wear, improving the support effect, and enhancing stability.

[0036] Working principle: During processing, six sets of collection boxes 31 are placed on the lifting plate 32 and pass through the opening of the turntable 21. The collection boxes 31 are in contact with the inner wall of the opening and with both sides of the curved slide 38. One collection box 31 is located below the outlet of the intermittent extruder 1. When forming sheet butter, the material is introduced into the intermittent extruder 1, which is automatically started intermittently. At regular intervals, such as two to three seconds, a row of sheet butter is extruded and falls into the collection box 31 below. As the weight increases, the lifting plate 32 slides down via the guide rod 33, overcoming the elastic force of the spring 34. When it descends to the designated height, the lifting plate 32 presses a button on a series controller 35, activating the series controller. After the controller 35 is started, the starter motor 23 drives the turntable 22 and the turntable 21 to rotate 60 degrees, and then brings the next collection box 31 to the bottom of the outlet of the intermittent extruder 1. At the same time, during the rotation, one or two rows of flakes of grease will fall. These flakes of grease fall on the curved slide 38 and slide into the removed collection box 31. This part, together with the previously collected grease, is the amount collected by the collection box 31. Therefore, it is not necessary to shut down the intermittent extruder 1 during rotation. The heightened surface 381 is used to improve the protection performance. It should be noted that one rotation, that is, filling six collection boxes 31, constitutes one working process. After one working process is completed, the six collection boxes 31 are removed and the next working process is started.

[0037] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
