Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic flavoring machine for wet materials. Background Technology

[0002] In the processing of ready-to-eat foods, flavoring is a crucial step. Balancing the uniformity and efficiency of flavoring has always been a pressing technical challenge. Chinese patent CN204120194U discloses a seaweed flavoring spraying system. Its working principle involves laying the seaweed to be flavored flat on a conveyor belt, then spraying the sauce onto the seaweed through atomizing nozzles mounted above the conveyor belt. This system requires manual operation to flatten and evenly spread the seaweed on the conveyor belt, allowing the atomized sauce to adhere to its surface. If the seaweed is not fully spread, the sauce cannot be evenly distributed on the surface during spraying, and it easily diffuses into the surrounding air, causing both factory environmental pollution and sauce waste.

[0030] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of this utility model, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The present invention relates to an automatic wet material flavoring machine, including a conveyor belt 1, wherein the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1 is X-direction, and a material dropping hopper 2, a wet material flattening mechanism and a spray flavoring mechanism are arranged sequentially above the conveyor belt 1 along the X-direction.

[0032] The lower end of the hopper 2 is located in the middle of the width direction of the conveyor belt 1;

[0033] The wet material flattening mechanism includes one or more flattening pressure rollers arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1, and the rotation direction of the flattening pressure rollers is the same as the rotation direction of the conveyor belt 1.

[0034] The spray flavoring mechanism includes a cover 41 and an atomizing nozzle 42 disposed inside the cover 41. The atomizing nozzle 42 is connected to the sauce storage tank via a connecting pipe, and the connecting pipe is connected to a liquid pump.

[0035] In the above embodiments, the conveyor belt 1 is controlled to rotate continuously without interruption. Wet materials, such as ready-to-eat meat granules or fish paste, fall continuously from the hopper 2 to the middle of the beginning of the conveyor belt 1. When the wet material passes through the wet material flattening mechanism, the flattening roller spreads the wet material evenly on the surface of the conveyor belt 1, so that the wet material is evenly flattened and distributed on the surface of the conveyor belt 1. When the wet material passes under the cover 41, the atomizing nozzle 42 inside the cover 41 sprays atomized sauce, which is dispersed in the cavity formed by the cover 41 and the surface of the conveyor belt 1, so that the sauce is evenly distributed on the surface of the wet material on the conveyor belt 1. The sauce is evenly distributed on the surface of the wet material. Through the obstruction of the cover 41, the sauce will not diffuse into the external space, avoiding environmental pollution and waste of sauce.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the wet material flattening mechanism includes a first flattening roller 31 and a second flattening roller 32 arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1;

[0037] The first flattening roller 31 has a cylindrical shape in the middle and tapered frustum shapes on both sides.

[0038] The second flattening roller 32 is cylindrical in shape.

[0039] In the above embodiments, the shape design of the first flattening roller 31 enables the material concentrated in the middle of the conveyor belt 1 to be squeezed to both sides more efficiently, so that the concentrated wet material can be quickly spread to both sides of the conveyor belt 1; the second flattening roller 32 is designed as a cylinder, so that the initially flattened wet material is flattened again to achieve the purpose of evenly spreading and distributing, so that the subsequent sauce spray can be more evenly distributed on the surface of the wet material.

[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the rear end of the first flattening roller 31 is provided with a first scraper 33, which is used to scrape the wet material carried by the first flattening roller 31 onto the surface of the conveyor belt 1.

[0041] In the above embodiments, when the first flattening roller 31 presses and flattens the wet material, some of the wet material will adhere to the surface of the roller. The first scraper 33 can scrape the adhered wet material back onto the conveyor belt 1.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, a second scraper 34 is provided at the rear end of the second flattening roller 32 for scraping the wet material carried by the second flattening roller 32 onto the surface of the conveyor belt 1.

[0043] In the above embodiments, when the second flattening roller 32 presses and flattens the wet material, some of the wet material will adhere to the surface of the roller. The second scraper 34 can scrape the adhered wet material back onto the conveyor belt 1.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment, a side window 411 is provided on one side of the cover 41, which facilitates the opening of the side window 411 at regular intervals to clean the inner wall of the cover 41.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment, the side window 411 is made of a transparent material, which makes it easy to observe the internal spray odor from the outside.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, an elastic support plate is provided at the lower part of the conveyor belt 1 relative to the second flattening roller 32. The elastic support plate is connected to the frame through an elastic component, so that when the second flattening roller 32 presses against the surface of the conveyor belt 1, the elastic support plate moves downward elastically.

[0047] In the above embodiments, when the second flattening roller 32 presses down, in order to fully flatten the wet material below, the pressing down of the second flattening roller 32 is combined with the downward elastic movement of the elastic support plate to make the belt surface at that point form a slightly concave shape, so that a larger wrap angle is formed between the second flattening roller 32 and the conveyor belt 1, further ensuring that the wet material is fully spread on the conveyor belt 1.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment, the elastic component includes an X-axis guide rail 51, a first slider 52, a second slider 53, an X-axis spring 54, a first connecting rod 55, a second connecting rod 56, and a support plate body 57.

[0049] The X-axis guide rail 51 is connected to the frame below the conveyor belt 1. The first slider 52 and the second slider 53 are slidably connected to the X-axis guide rail 51. The X-axis spring 54 is connected between the first slider 52 and the second slider 53. One end of the first connecting rod 55 is pivotally connected to the first slider 52, and the other end is pivotally connected to the support plate body 57. One end of the second connecting rod 56 is pivotally connected to the second slider 53, and the other end is pivotally connected to the support plate body 57.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, a third scraper 6 is provided at the lower part of the end of the conveyor belt 1, which contacts the lower surface of the conveyor belt 1.

[0051] In the above embodiments, a collection device can be installed below the end of the conveyor belt 1 so that the wet material that has been coated with the odor can automatically fall and be collected from the end of the conveyor belt 1. The third scraper 6 can scrape off the wet material that is adhered to the surface of the conveyor belt 1, making it easy to collect.

[0052] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent modifications made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
