Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crispy ball processing technology, specifically to a crispy ball forming machine that does not disturb raw materials. Background Technology
[0002] The current processing of crispy balls mainly relies on manual labor. After the batter for frying the crispy balls is prepared, the person holds the batter in their hand, squeezes it tightly, and squeezes the batter out from between their thumb and forefinger. Then, they use a spoon or other tools to transfer the batter squeezed out from between their thumb and forefinger into the oil pot for frying. Manual production of crispy balls is inefficient and costly. Workers are exposed to high oil and high temperature environments for a long time, which can easily cause harm to their health.
[0003] Patent document CN220777212U discloses a meatball frying device, including a shell, a frying pan, and a controller. The frying pan is located inside the shell, with its top flush with the top of the shell. The controller is located at the front of the shell. The device also includes grooves, moving components, and a meatball forming component. Grooves are located on the left and right sides of the top of the shell, and each set of grooves contains a moving component. The meatball forming machine is mounted on two sets of moving components, and both the moving components and the meatball forming machine are electrically connected to the controller. In use, minced meat is placed into the meatball forming component. Then, the operator uses the controller to operate the two sets of moving components to move the meatball forming component directly above the frying pan, activating the meatball forming component. This causes the minced meat to be squeezed into meatballs and fall into the frying pan. The meatball forming component moves slowly from front to back via the moving components, ensuring that the meatballs fall evenly into the frying pan. The hot oil in the frying pan frys the meatballs, improving processing efficiency. The moving component includes a motor, a lead screw, and a moving block. The motor is located at the rear end of the housing, the lead screw is rotatably mounted in a groove, and the moving block is slidably mounted in the groove. The moving block is threadedly connected to the lead screw, and the rear end of the lead screw is connected to the output end of the motor. The meatball forming component is mounted on two sets of moving blocks. The operator starts the two sets of motors to rotate synchronously in the same direction through the controller, thereby causing the two sets of lead screws to drive the two sets of moving blocks to move back and forth synchronously, thus realizing the movement of the meatball forming component in the front and back position. The meatball forming assembly includes a meat storage box, uprights, a top plate, an electric cylinder, an extrusion plate, meat outlets, and a cutting component. The bottom of the meat storage box is connected to the tops of two sets of moving blocks. A meat trough is located at the top of the meat storage box, with multiple meat outlets arranged in a straight line at its front end. Multiple uprights are also located at the top of the meat storage box, with their tops connected to the bottom of the top plate. An electric cylinder is located at the top of the top plate, with its bottom moving end extending below the top plate and connecting to the top of the extrusion plate. The extrusion plate is adapted to the meat trough. A cutting component is located at the front of the meat storage box. In use, minced meat is placed in the meat trough, and the electric cylinder extends, allowing the extrusion plate to enter the trough and extrude the minced meat. This causes the minced meat to be discharged through the multiple meat outlets. The operator uses the cutting component to cut the continuously flowing minced meat from the outlets. The cut meatballs automatically fall into the hot oil of a deep fryer for frying, improving convenience. While this technical solution can improve meatball processing efficiency, it requires manual rotation of the cutting assembly to cut the minced meat discharged from the outlet. This results in high labor intensity for workers, and the unstable rotation speed of the cutting assembly can easily lead to inconsistent meatball sizes. The equipment also requires the minced meat to be squeezed by an extrusion plate before being discharged from the outlet, which can negatively impact the texture of the meatballs. Furthermore, the cutting lines are difficult to tighten once they become slack. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a non-disturbing raw material ball forming machine with high production efficiency and reduced labor costs. This machine allows for adjustment of the rotation speed of the cutting components, enabling the production of balls of different sizes. During ball production, the slurry flows out under its own weight, without affecting the texture of the balls. Furthermore, the cutting strips can be easily tensioned or replaced after loosening.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] The raw material undisturbed slurry forming machine includes a base, with a hopper detachably and fixedly connected to the upper end of the base. Multiple material holes are linearly arrayed along the length of the lower front side of the hopper. A cutting assembly is rotatably mounted on the base in front of the hopper. A drive unit is fixed on the base and is connected to the cutting assembly. During rotation, the cutting assembly can cut the strip-shaped slurry discharged from the material holes. The cutting assembly includes a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the base. Turntables are concentrically fixed on the rotating shafts on both sides of the hopper. The two turntables are connected by multiple cutting units, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotating shaft. Each cutting unit includes a cutting strip, the length of which is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft. One end of the cutting strip is fixedly connected to one of the turntables, and the other end is connected to the other turntable via a tensioning assembly.
[0007] Specifically, the drive unit includes a motor, which is fixed on a base. A second sprocket is concentrically fixed on the output shaft of the motor, and a first sprocket is concentrically fixed on the rotating shaft. The first sprocket and the second sprocket are connected by a chain drive.
[0008] Specifically, the motor is electrically connected to the speed control switch.
[0009] Specifically, one end of the cutting strip is concentrically fixed with a pin, which is detachably fixed to a turntable on one side. The axis of the pin is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft. The tensioning assembly includes a bolt, which is concentric with the pin and passes through a hole in the turntable on one side. The other end of the cutting strip is concentrically fixed to a screw. An adjusting nut is threaded onto a bolt on one side of the turntable. The adjusting nut is pressed against the turntable on one side. Rotating the adjusting nut moves the bolt away from the pin, and the cutting strip is tensioned.
[0010] Specifically, the bolt is threaded with a clamping nut, which, when pressed against the adjusting nut, prevents the adjusting nut from rotating.
[0011] Specifically, the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the base via a bearing seat and a bearing.
[0012] Specifically, a baffle plate is slidably installed in the vertical direction inside the hopper, and the baffle plate can block the material hole.
[0013] Specifically, the pin can pass through the hole.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. The cutting assembly is driven by a motor to rotate, achieving automatic cutting of the slurry, completely replacing manual operation, significantly improving production efficiency and reducing labor intensity. Multiple material holes linearly arrayed at the front end of the hopper can simultaneously output strip-shaped slurry. Combined with the high-speed rotating cutting unit, it forms a large-scale continuous production system suitable for industrial applications.
[0016] 2. The speed control switch is linked to the motor, adjusting the cutting frequency by regulating the rotation speed of the cutting components, allowing the size of the crispy balls to be flexibly adjusted according to needs. The evenly distributed circumferential layout of the cutting strips, combined with the uniformly rotating turntable, ensures uniform and continuous cutting action, avoiding the size differences caused by traditional manual cutting or unstable rotation speed.
[0017] 3. The slurry flows out naturally from the feed hole by its own weight, without the need for external mechanical extrusion. This avoids the damage to the slurry structure caused by high-pressure extrusion in traditional equipment, fully preserving the loose texture of the raw materials, making the finished crispy balls taste better and meeting the refined needs of food processing.
[0018] 4. The tensioning assembly design allows for quick tensioning of the slack cutting strip with a simple screwing operation, while the clamping nut locks the adjustment state to prevent loosening during operation. The detachable pin structure makes cutting strip replacement convenient, significantly reducing maintenance costs and time.
[0019] 5. The rotating shaft is connected to the base via a bearing seat, enhancing the operational stability of the cutting assembly; the sliding design of the baffle plate allows for precise control of the material orifice opening and closing, enabling adjustment of the slurry flow. The overall modular structure balances durability and ease of maintenance, making it suitable for high-frequency production environments. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0025] Example 1: Refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the raw material undisturbed pastry forming machine includes a base 1, with a hopper 2 detachably fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 1. The hopper 2 is detachable for easy cleaning.
[0026] Multiple material holes 5 are linearly arranged along the length of the lower front side of the hopper 2.
[0027] A baffle plate is slidably installed in the vertical direction inside the hopper 2, which can block the material hole 5.
[0028] A cutting assembly is rotatably mounted on the base 1 on the front side of the hopper 2, and a drive unit is fixed on the base 1. The drive unit is connected to the cutting assembly for transmission.
[0029] The drive unit includes a motor 3, which is fixed on the base 1. A second sprocket 14 is concentrically fixed on the output shaft of the motor 3, and a first sprocket 13 is concentrically fixed on the rotating shaft 4. The first sprocket 13 and the second sprocket 14 are connected by a chain 15.
[0030] During the rotation of the cutting assembly, it can cut the strip-shaped slurry discharged from the material hole 5.
[0031] The cutting assembly includes a rotating shaft 4 rotatably connected to the base 1. The rotating shaft 4 and the base 1 are rotatably connected via a bearing seat and a bearing. Turntables 6 are concentrically fixed on the rotating shafts 4 on both sides of the hopper 2. The two turntables 6 are connected by multiple cutting units, which are evenly distributed around the circumference of the rotating shaft 4.
[0032] The cutting unit includes a cutting strip 8, the length of which is parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 4. One end of the cutting strip 8 is fixedly connected to one of the turntables 6, and the other end of the cutting strip 8 is connected to the other turntable 6 via a tensioning assembly.
[0033] One end of the cutting strip 8 is concentrically fixed with a pin 7, which is detachably and fixedly connected to the turntable 6 on one side. The axis of the pin 7 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 4.
[0034] The tensioning assembly includes a bolt 9, which is concentric with a pin 7 and passes through a hole in one side of the turntable 6. The pin 7 can pass through the hole. The other end of the cutting strip 8 is concentrically fixedly connected to a screw. An adjusting nut 10 is threaded onto the bolt 9 on one side of the turntable 6. The adjusting nut 10 is pressed against the turntable 6 on one side. Rotating the adjusting nut 10 moves the bolt 9 away from the pin 7, thus tensioning the cutting strip 8.
[0035] A clamping nut 11 is threaded onto the bolt 9. The clamping nut 11 presses against the adjusting nut 10 to prevent the adjusting nut 10 from rotating.
[0036] When making crispy balls, install the base 1 of this forming machine above the oil pot, and place the batter for making crispy balls into the hopper 2.
[0037] After the oil in the fryer is heated, motor 3 is started, which drives the rotating shaft 4, turntable 6, and multiple cutting units to rotate. The baffle plate is raised, allowing the slurry in the hopper 2 to be discharged through the material hole 5. During the rotation of the cutting unit, the cutting strip 8 rotates with the turntable 6 and the rotating shaft 4, and the cutting strip 8 can cut the strip-shaped slurry discharged from the material hole 5. The cut slurry falls into the fryer and is fried into shape.
[0038] When the cutting strip 8 is relaxed, stabilize the bolt 9, loosen the clamping nut 11, and rotate the adjusting nut 10. When the adjusting nut 10 is rotated, the bolt 9 moves away from the pin 7, thereby tightening the cutting strip 8. After the cutting strip 8 is tightened, the clamping nut 11 is pressed tightly against the adjusting nut 10.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, when replacing the cutting bar 8, separate the pin 7 from the turntable 6 on one side, and then move the pulling bolt 9, the cutting bar 8 and the pin 7 to the right. After the pin 7 passes through the hole, the cutting bar 8 is disassembled.
[0040] When installing the cutting strip 8, the pin 7 passes through the through hole and is fixedly connected to the turntable 6 on the left. Then, the bolt 9 is positioned behind the through hole. After rotating the adjusting nut 10 to tension the cutting strip 8, the adjusting nut 10 is tightened by using the clamping nut 11.
[0041] Example 2: Based on Example 1, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, motor 3 is electrically connected to speed control switch 12.
[0042] The speed of motor 3 can be changed by adjusting the speed switch 12, which in turn changes the speed of the cutting unit. The rotation speed of the cutting component can be adjusted as needed to produce crispy balls of different sizes.
[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
