[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of food preparation equipment, specifically to a device for adding fruit and vegetable fillings. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of food mechanization, various equipment for preparing sandwich foods has emerged. Sandwich foods include dumplings, spring pancakes, sandwich bread, etc. The structure of spring pancakes and dumplings usually includes an outer skin and a filling. The filling is placed on the outer skin, and then the outer skin is rolled up to fix the filling.
[0003] The automatic filling machine used in the related technology mainly includes a filling machine body, a feeding hopper fixed to the upper side of the filling machine body, and a filling mechanism installed on one side of the filling machine body. The filling enters from the feeding hopper, and then is discharged from the filling mechanism onto the outer skin. Finally, the outer skin is packaged to make the finished product.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors believe that the top of the filling machine's hopper is open, which makes it easy for impurities to enter the filling during the food preparation process, thus affecting the quality of the filling. Furthermore, the filling inside the filling machine's hopper cannot be added automatically in a timely manner, and it is usually necessary to manually add the prepared filling to the filling machine's hopper, which is cumbersome, increases labor costs, and reduces work efficiency.
[0005] In view of this, this technical solution proposes a device for adding fruit and vegetable fillings, which can better solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

A spiral mixer is rotatably installed inside the filling mixing barrel. A servo motor is provided above the filling mixing barrel to drive the spiral mixer, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to the spiral mixer.
[0007] A receiving bin is connected to the bottom of the filling mixing bin, and a feeding pipe is connected to the lower right side of the receiving bin for feeding into the upper hopper of the filling machine. A screw feeder is rotatably installed inside the receiving bin, and a second servo motor is provided on the right side of the receiving bin to drive the screw feeder, and the output end of the second servo motor is connected to the screw feeder.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, an observation window is provided at the front of the inside of the filling machine's hopper for observing the filling inside the hopper.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a non-contact sensor is provided on the right side of the filling machine hopper for monitoring the remaining amount of filling inside the filling machine hopper.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the support rod is inserted into the positioning grooves opened on both sides of the upper part of the filling machine hopper, and the filling machine hopper and the support rod are fixed by fixing bolts.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a feed inlet is provided on the top right side of the hopper of the filling machine, and a protective cover is hinged to the feed inlet.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a second protective cover is fixed on the feeding pipe to protect the opening above the feeding hopper of the filling machine, and the second protective cover is inserted into the upper part of the feeding hopper of the filling machine.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the servo motor 2, the servo motor 1, and the non-contact sensor are electrically connected to an external control panel, and the control panel uses a PLC operating system.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, an observation window 2 is provided inside the front of the filling mixing bucket, and scale lines for use with the observation window 2 are provided on the side of the observation window 2.
[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: it facilitates the automatic mixing and feeding of fillings, saving manpower and increasing work efficiency.
[0016] In this invention, the required filling is added to the filling mixing hopper in a specific ratio. Then, the protective cover is flipped over to protect the inlet of the filling mixing hopper. The servo motor is started to drive the spiral mixer to mix the filling inside the filling mixing hopper. When there is too little filling in the feeding hopper of the filling machine, the servo motor is controlled to drive the spiral feeder inside the receiving bin to rotate, which will transport the filling inside the filling mixing hopper to the lower feed pipe. Then, the filling enters the feeding hopper of the filling machine through the feed pipe for filling. Attached Figure Description
