Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spreading machine technology, and in particular to a spreading machine for producing rice crust. Background Technology

[0002] A seasoning spreader used in rice crust production refers to a mechanical device specifically designed to evenly spread seasonings (such as salt, chili powder, cumin powder, barbecue seasoning, etc.) on the surface of the rice crust during the industrial production process. It has the following structure:

[0003] 1. Frame: The frame is the supporting framework of the spreading machine, usually made of metal, and is used to install the conveyor belt, storage box and other transmission components;

[0004] 2. Conveyor Belt: The conveyor belt is the transport carrier that carries the rice crust raw materials. It is generally made of food-grade rubber or polyester material, with a flat surface and a certain friction to ensure that the rice crust moves smoothly during the transport process.

[0005] 3. Storage box: The storage box is a container for storing seasonings. It is usually located above the conveyor belt and has an adjustable discharge port or sprinkling device at the bottom.

[0006] During the seasoning process, some seasonings will fall onto the conveyor belt. As production continues, some of the seasonings will adhere to the conveyor belt and come into contact with other batches of rice crust. The residual seasonings coming into contact with subsequent batches of rice crust may cause different flavors of seasonings to mix, affecting the consistency of the product flavor. At the same time, if the seasonings that have been attached to the conveyor belt for a long time are not cleaned in time, they may deteriorate due to contact with moisture and microorganisms in the air, thus contaminating subsequent products. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a seasoning spreader for rice crust production, which solves the problem that some seasonings may adhere to the conveyor belt and come into contact with other batches of rice crust. This residual seasoning may come into contact with subsequent batches of rice crust, potentially causing different flavors to mix and affecting the consistency of product flavor. In addition, if seasonings that have been attached to the conveyor belt for a long time are not cleaned in time, they may deteriorate due to contact with moisture and microorganisms in the air, thereby contaminating subsequent products.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A material spreading machine for producing rice crust includes a spreading machine frame. A scraper for scraping material from the surface of a conveyor belt is installed on the outside of the spreading machine frame. A fixing plate is installed below the scraper. Both ends of the spreading machine frame are equipped with mounting mechanisms for installing the scraper. Each mounting mechanism includes a base, a moving channel, and a push plate. The base is located outside the spreading machine frame, the moving channel is located outside the base, and the push plate is slidably connected inside the moving channel. The end of the push plate is engaged with the outside of the fixing plate to fix the position of the scraper. Each base is equipped with a limiting mechanism to restrict the movement of the push plate. Each limiting mechanism includes a screw, a rotating rod, and a limiting plate. The screw is fixedly installed outside the base, the rotating rod is rotatably connected outside the screw, and the limiting plate is slidably connected outside the screw.

[0010] Preferably, each push plate has a spring sheet on its exterior for initial positioning, and each push plate has an elastic deformation groove on one side corresponding to the spring sheet, with one end of the spring sheet fixedly connected inside the elastic deformation groove.

[0011] Preferably, the fixing plate has a fixing groove on its outside, the bottom of the scraper is engaged in the inside of the fixing groove, and the fixing plate has two threaded holes on the side corresponding to the fixing groove, and each threaded hole is threaded with a threaded rod inside.

[0012] Preferably, each push plate has a handle fixedly installed at its bottom.

[0013] Preferably, the spreader frame has a positioning groove on one side corresponding to each base, the end of the base is engaged in the inside of the positioning groove, and bolts are rotatably connected to both ends of each base. The spreader frame has a screw hole on one side corresponding to each bolt, and the bolt thread is connected in the inside of the screw hole and used to fix the base.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The scraper is installed below the conveyor belt via a fixing plate and installation mechanism, and its position is reinforced by a limiting mechanism. When the spreading machine starts working, as the conveyor belt runs, the scraper scrapes off the residual seasoning on the conveyor belt by its relative movement with the conveyor belt surface, thereby cleaning the conveyor belt surface and preventing residual materials from mixing into other batches of rice crust and affecting the consistency of product flavor. At the same time, it can also prevent the seasoning from deteriorating and contaminating subsequent products, thus ensuring product quality and reducing food safety risks.

[0016] 2. When it is necessary to repair the structure on the base, rotate the bolt to disconnect the bolt from the screw hole, and then pull the base down to disconnect the base from the positioning groove. At this time, the base is disassembled, which makes it convenient for operators to carry out further inspection, maintenance or replacement of the components on the base, thus improving the convenience of operation.

[0024] This application provides a seasoning spreader for rice crust production, which effectively solves the technical problem that some seasonings may adhere to the conveyor belt and come into contact with other batches of rice crust. This residual seasoning may come into contact with subsequent batches of rice crust, potentially causing different flavors of seasonings to mix and affecting the consistency of product flavor. At the same time, if seasonings that have been attached to the conveyor belt for a long time are not cleaned in time, they may deteriorate due to contact with moisture and microorganisms in the air, thereby contaminating subsequent products.

[0025] Example

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the problem that some seasonings may adhere to the conveyor belt and come into contact with other batches of rice crackers. This residual seasoning may come into contact with subsequent batches of rice crackers, potentially causing different flavors to mix and affecting the consistency of the product's flavor. Furthermore, seasonings that remain on the conveyor belt for extended periods, if not cleaned promptly, may deteriorate due to contact with moisture and microorganisms in the air, thus contaminating subsequent products. The overall approach is as follows:

[0027] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a material spreading machine for producing rice crusts, including a spreading machine frame 1. A scraper 2 for scraping material from the surface of a conveyor belt is disposed on the outside of the spreading machine frame 1. A fixing plate 3 is disposed below the scraper 2, providing a mounting carrier for the scraper 2. The fixing plate 3 is installed with the scraper 2 through a fixing groove 12 and a threaded hole 13, and works in conjunction with a push plate 6 to position the scraper 2. At both ends of the spreading machine frame 1 corresponding to the scraper 2, there are mounting mechanisms for installing the scraper 2. Each mounting mechanism includes a base 4, a moving channel 5, and a push plate 6. The base 4 is set outside the frame 1 of the spreading machine. The moving channel 5 is opened outside the base 4. The push plate 6 is slidably connected inside the moving channel 5. The end of the push plate 6 is snapped onto the outside of the fixed plate 3 and used to fix the position of the scraper 2. Each base 4 is provided with a limiting mechanism to restrict the movement of the push plate 6. Each limiting mechanism includes a screw 7, a rotating rod 8 and a limiting plate 9. The screw 7 is fixedly installed outside the base 4. The rotating rod 8 is rotatably connected to the outside of the screw 7. The limiting plate 9 is slidably connected to the outside of the screw 7. The end of the limiting plate 9 is attached to the end of the push plate 6 away from the fixed plate 3.

[0028] Each push plate 6 has an outer spring piece 10 for initial positioning of the push plate 6. Each push plate 6 has an elastic deformation groove 11 on the side corresponding to the spring piece 10. One end of the spring piece 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the elastic deformation groove 11, and the other end extends outward.

[0029] The fixed plate 3 has a fixed groove 12 on its outside. The bottom of the scraper 2 is engaged inside the fixed groove 12. The fixed plate 3 has two threaded holes 13 on the side corresponding to the fixed groove 12. The threaded holes 13 communicate with the inside of the fixed groove 12. Each threaded hole 13 is threaded with a threaded rod 14. The threaded rod 14 fits tightly against the outside of the scraper 2 through the threaded hole 13, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the scraper 2 and the fixed groove 12.

[0030] Each push plate 6 is fixedly installed with a handle 15 at its bottom, providing the operator with a point of force to facilitate pushing the push plate 6 to slide within the moving channel 5.

[0031] The spreader frame 1 has a positioning groove 16 on one side corresponding to each base 4. The end of the base 4 is engaged inside the positioning groove 16. Bolts 17 are rotatably connected to both ends of each base 4. The spreader frame 1 has a screw hole 18 on one side corresponding to each bolt 17. The bolt 17 is threaded into the screw hole 18 and used to fix the base 4.

[0032] Scraper 2: Made of rubber or silicone material, it directly contacts the surface of the conveyor belt to scrape off the material left on the conveyor belt during the rice crust spreading process, so as to avoid the residual material from being mixed into the rice crust produced later and affecting the product quality.

[0033] Installation mechanism: The base 4 serves as the basic component of the installation mechanism, providing installation support for the moving channel 5, push plate 6, etc., and achieving self-positioning and installation by connecting with the positioning groove 16 and bolt 17 of the spreader frame 1. The moving channel 5 provides a sliding track for the push plate 6, constraining the moving direction of the push plate 6. The push plate 6 is used to fix the position of the scraper 2, and achieves initial positioning in cooperation with the spring piece 10, and is further fixed by the limiting mechanism. The installation mechanism facilitates the installation and disassembly of the scraper 2.

[0034] Limiting mechanism: The rotating rod 8 rotates on the screw 7 and fits against the surface of the limiting plate 9 to fix the limiting plate 9, thereby limiting the movement of the push plate 6, further enhancing the stability of the scraper 2 after installation, and reducing the risk of the scraper 2 shifting due to accidental movement of the push plate 6.

[0035] Bolt 17 and screw hole 18: facilitate the installation and disassembly of base 4, make it convenient to perform maintenance, replacement and other operations on the components on base 4, and improve the maintenance convenience of the equipment.

[0036] Working principle:

[0037] First, before the material spreader starts working, insert scraper 2 into the fixed groove 12 and place scraper 2 in the corresponding position below the conveyor belt. Push pusher 6 is then pushed so that its end engages with the outside of fixed plate 3. During this process, spring 10 deforms and adheres to the inner wall of moving channel 5, at which point pusher 6 is initially fixed. Then, move limiting plate 9 so that its end adheres to the end of pusher 6 away from fixed plate 3. Finally, rotate rotating rod 8 on screw 7 and adhere to the surface of limiting plate 9 to fix limiting plate 9. At this point, scraper 2 is installed and the feeder starts working, placing the rice crust on the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt moves, the rice crust is moved to the storage box, and the material is sprinkled down from the storage box. At this time, both the conveyor belt and the rice crust are sprinkled. As the conveyor belt runs, scraper 2 scrapes off the residual seasoning on the conveyor belt by its relative movement with the surface of the conveyor belt. The scraped-off seasoning falls into the collection box below, thereby cleaning the surface of the conveyor belt and avoiding the adverse effects of residual material on subsequent production.

[0038] The second step is to rotate the bolt 17 to disconnect the bolt 17 from the screw hole 18, and then pull the base 4 down to disconnect the base 4 from the positioning groove 16. At this time, the base 4 is disassembled, which makes it convenient for operators to carry out further inspection, maintenance or replacement of the components on the base 4.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
