[0026] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 5 The present invention provides a toast forming and spreading device. The toast forming and spreading device includes a frame 1, a spreading box 2, a tumbling curtain 3, and a pressing belt 4. The frame 1 is equipped with a conveyor belt 11 for supporting the dough roll. The spreading box 2 is connected to the frame 1 and located above the conveyor belt 11, and is used to spread auxiliary materials onto the dough roll. The tumbling curtain 3 is connected to the frame 1 and located below the spreading box 2, and is used to abut against the peripheral wall of the dough roll to cooperate with the conveyor belt 11 in turning the dough roll. The pressing belt 4 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 and located above the conveyor belt 11, and is used to receive the dough roll moving out below the tumbling curtain 3 and, in cooperation with the conveyor belt 11, press against the dough roll to make the auxiliary materials adhere to the outer peripheral wall of the dough roll.
[0027] Compared with the prior art, the toast forming and spreading device provided in this embodiment utilizes the cooperation between the upper tumbling curtain 3 and the lower conveyor belt 11 to make the passing dough roll roll roll, which facilitates the spreading box 2 to spread the auxiliary materials onto the periphery of the dough roll. Then, the lower pressure belt 4 cooperates with the conveyor belt 11 to make the auxiliary materials reliably adhere to the outer periphery of the dough roll, realizing comprehensive spreading of the auxiliary materials on the outer periphery of the dough roll, ensuring the uniformity of the auxiliary materials on the outer periphery of the dough roll, and facilitating the subsequent baking effect.
[0028] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned device can be set on the rear side of the dough roll forming equipment or set separately. It can apply auxiliary materials to the rolled dough, ensuring the uniformity of the auxiliary materials on the outer periphery of the dough roll, improving the taste of the finished toast, and meeting the dietary needs of consumers.
[0029] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 5The bottom of the feeding box 2 is connected to the discharge box 21. The discharge box 21 is rotatably connected to the feeding roller 22. The bottom of the discharge box 21 is provided with a discharge port 27. The peripheral wall of the feeding roller 22 is provided with several concave feeding grooves 23 to accommodate auxiliary materials. The feeding roller 22 is used to drive the auxiliary materials to rotate to the discharge port 27 and unload the auxiliary materials onto the roll.
[0030] In this embodiment, a discharge box 21 is provided below the material spreading box 2, and a material spreading tube is provided inside the discharge box 21 to control the falling speed of the auxiliary material, so that the auxiliary material can be evenly scattered onto the periphery of the roll at a certain speed. Specifically, the cross-section of the inner cavity of the discharge box 21 is the same as the cross-section of the material spreading roller 22, and the two are in contact with each other to prevent the auxiliary material from falling through the gap between them. The auxiliary material is carried from the upper discharge box 2 by the material spreading groove 23 on the material spreading roller 22. Since the inner cavity size of the material spreading groove 23 is the same, when the material spreading roller 22 rotates at a certain speed, the auxiliary material can be carried by the material spreading groove 23 and discharged through the discharge port 27, forming the effect of scattering auxiliary material onto the surface of the roll.
[0031] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The material distribution box 2 and the discharge box 21 are connected by a material drop cone 24. The cross-sectional area of the material drop cone 24 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The outer peripheral wall of the material distribution roller 22 slides in contact with the inner peripheral wall of the discharge box 21.
[0032] In this embodiment, the material discharge cone 24 can form a constriction at the bottom of the material spreading box 2, realizing the transition between the material spreading box 2 and the discharge box 21, ensuring the orderly delivery of auxiliary materials to the discharge box 21, and improving the smoothness of auxiliary material supply.
[0033] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The fabric roller 22 includes a fabric shaft 25 and several fabric discs 26 sleeved on the outer periphery of the fabric shaft 25. Each fabric disc 26 has several fabric grooves 23 on its outer peripheral wall. The fabric grooves 23 are spaced apart along the outer periphery of the fabric disc 26, and the fabric grooves 23 of two adjacent fabric discs 26 are staggered in the circumferential direction.
[0034] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the uniform distribution of auxiliary materials at different positions along the bread roll axis, a structure is adopted in which multiple fabric discs 26 are set on the outer periphery of the fabric shaft 25. Each fabric disc 26 is provided with multiple circumferentially spaced fabric grooves 23. By making the fabric grooves 23 of two adjacent fabric discs 26 intersect each other, the concentrated distribution of auxiliary materials along the bread roll axis is avoided, and the effect of uniformly spreading materials on the outer periphery of the bread roll is achieved.
[0035] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 5The frame 1 is provided with two limiting plates 12 located above the conveyor belt 11. The limiting plates 12 are symmetrically located on both sides of the central axis of the conveyor belt 11. The two limiting plates 12 are used to limit the two ends of the roll. The tumbling curtain 3 is located between the two limiting plates 12.
[0036] In this embodiment, the limiting plate 12 can limit both ends of the roll to prevent axial movement of the roll, thereby ensuring the effective falling of the auxiliary material onto the roll's periphery and improving the uniformity of the fabric. The feed edge of the tumbling curtain 3 is connected to the frame 1 via a bracket, while the other side is connected to the limiting plate 12, so that the entire tumbling curtain 3 is parallel to the conveyor belt 11. The gap between the tumbling curtain 3 and the conveyor belt 11 is slightly smaller than the roll diameter, which facilitates the application of pressure to the roll, thereby allowing the roll to roll smoothly.
[0037] Based on this, the conveyor belt 11 can be a whole section or a sectioned structure with front and rear ends. The feed side edge of the tumbling curtain 3 can be set at the discharge end of the front section of the conveyor belt 11, while the discharge side edge of the tumbling curtain 3 extends to the feed end of the rear section of the conveyor belt 11. This allows the roll to smoothly tumble under the action of the tumbling curtain 3 after it moves from the front section to the rear section of the conveyor belt 11, until the auxiliary material is adhered to the bottom of the spreading box 2 and then it detaches from the tumbling curtain 3.
[0038] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The pressing belt 4 includes a first roller 41, a second roller 42, and a belt body 43. The second roller 42 is located on the discharge side of the first roller 41, and the outer diameter of the first roller 41 is larger than the outer diameter of the second roller 42.
[0039] In this embodiment, the pressing belt 4 is formed by a combination of a first roller 41, a second roller 42 and a belt body 43. The outer diameter of the first roller 41 is larger than that of the second roller 42, which facilitates the smooth entry of the dough roll into the area below the belt body 43. This allows the auxiliary material to be compacted onto the periphery of the dough roll by the pressing action of the belt body 43, ensuring the compaction of the auxiliary material on the surface of the dough roll.
[0040] In one possible implementation, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The frame 1 is also equipped with an auxiliary belt 5 located at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 11. A slag receiving gap 51 is formed between the conveyor belt 11 and the auxiliary belt 5 for the slag to fall. A recycling belt 6 located below the slag receiving gap 51 is connected to the frame 1. The direction of the recycling belt 6 is perpendicular to the direction of the conveyor belt 11. The recycling belt 6 is used to receive the slag.
[0041] In this embodiment, the auxiliary belt 5 on the frame 1 is set at the same height as the conveyor belt 11 and has a certain gap with the conveyor belt 11. It can cooperate with the conveyor belt 11 to form a slag receiving gap 51. The recycling belt 6 below can collect and recycle the spilled slag, avoid waste of auxiliary materials, facilitate subsequent reuse, and facilitate centralized collection.
[0042] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The side of the frame 1 is provided with a recycling box 7 located at the discharge end of the recycling belt 6. The recycling box 7 is connected to the spreading box 2 through the return pipe 71. A negative pressure fan 72 connected to the return pipe 71 is provided above the spreading box 2.
[0043] In this embodiment, the recycling box 7 is located at the discharge end of the recycling belt 6, which can collect the slag in a centralized manner and return it to the spreading box 2 through the return pipe 71 under the action of the negative pressure fan 72, so as to realize the reuse of the slag and avoid the problem of waste.
[0044] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The frame 1 is also equipped with a mounting beam 13 located at the discharge end of the conveyor belt 11. An auxiliary curtain 14 extending above the slag receiving gap 51 is connected to the mounting beam 13. The auxiliary curtain 14 is used to roll the dough roll with the auxiliary material adhering to it. The mounting beam 13 on the frame 1 facilitates the installation of the auxiliary curtain 14. The discharge end of the auxiliary curtain 14 is a free end, which makes it easy for the dough roll to roll outward and move out.
[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 The frame 1 is equipped with a support belt 8 located below the auxiliary belt 5. The support belt 8 supports the loaf pan 81, which in turn receives the dough rolls that fall off the auxiliary belt 5. By setting the support belt 8 below the discharge end of the auxiliary belt 5, the loaf pan 81 is effectively supported, allowing the dough rolls to fall smoothly into the loaf pan 81 for subsequent baking, thus improving operational efficiency.
[0046] The above-mentioned toast forming and sprinkling device uses the upper tumbling curtain 3 and the lower conveyor belt 11 to make the passing dough roll roll roll, which makes it easier for the sprinkling box 2 to sprinkle the auxiliary material onto the periphery of the dough roll. Then, the lower pressure belt 4 works with the conveyor belt 11 to make the auxiliary material reliably adhere to the outer periphery of the dough roll, realizing the comprehensive sprinkling of the outer periphery of the dough roll, ensuring the uniformity of the auxiliary material on the outer periphery of the dough roll, and making it easier to ensure the subsequent baking effect.
[0047] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are 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.
