Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gluten production, and in particular to a gluten production feeding device. Background Technology
[0002] Gluten is made by mixing flour with water, washing away the starch, and leaving behind a sticky, cohesive protein mixture. Gluten is a unique protein found in wheat flour, a colloidal protein mixture composed of glutenin and gliadin. To make gluten, add water and a little salt to flour, stir until it forms a dough, and then repeatedly wash it with water to remove excess flour and impurities. What remains is the gluten.
[0003] In existing technologies, when adding salt to flour, the salt is usually sprinkled directly into the flour, which may result in uneven mixing of the flour and salt, affecting the texture of the gluten. Utility Model Content

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a gluten production feeding device includes a processing box 1. A mounting frame 201 is slidably connected to the front and rear side walls of the processing box 1. The mounting frame 201 is U-shaped with the opening facing downwards. The mounting frame 201 is driven by a linear motor or an electric slide rail. A mixing cylinder 202 is bolted to the top of the mounting frame 201. A water inlet pipe 203 and a feeding pipe 204 are fixedly connected to the top of the mixing cylinder 202. A transparent observation window 4 is provided on the front side of the mixing cylinder 202. The observation window 4 is marked with graduations. The amount of warm water added to the mixing cylinder 202 can be easily observed through the observation window 4, and the dissolution of salt can also be easily observed.
[0025] A stirring mechanism is provided inside the mixing drum 202. The stirring mechanism is used to stir the water and salt inside the mixing drum 202, so that the salt dissolves in the water. The stirring mechanism includes a stirring motor 301 bolted to the top of the mixing drum 202. The output end of the stirring motor 301 is connected to a rotating shaft 302 through a coupling. The rotating shaft 302 is rotatably connected to the inner top wall of the mixing drum 202. Multiple sets of circumferentially arranged first stirring rods 303 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 302. When the stirring motor 301 is started, the stirring motor 301 drives the rotating shaft 302 to rotate the first stirring rods 303, thereby stirring the salt and water inside the mixing drum 202.
[0026] The outer wall of the rotating shaft 302 is also circumferentially provided with multiple sets of second stirring components. The second stirring components are located below the first stirring rod 303. The second stirring components include a mounting rod 304 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 302, and multiple sets of circumferentially arranged toggle plates 305 are fixedly connected to the mounting rod 304.
[0027] The stirring mechanism also includes a power component, which drives the mounting rod 304 to rotate the actuating plate 305. The power component includes a gear 306, which is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting rod 304 away from the rotating shaft 302. An end face gear ring 307 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mixing cylinder 202. The end face gear ring 307 is located above the gear 306 and meshes with the gear 306. While the rotating shaft 302 rotates, it also drives the mounting rod 304 to rotate the actuating plate 305 around the rotating shaft 302. While the mounting rod 304 rotates, it drives the gear 306 to rotate. Under the meshing of the end face gear ring 307, the gear 306 drives the mounting rod 304 to rotate the actuating plate 305, continuously pushing the salt and water at the bottom of the mixing cylinder 202 upwards, promoting the dissolution of salt, and gradually dissolving the salt in the water to form a salt solution.
[0028] A spraying assembly is provided at the bottom of the mixing cylinder 202. The spraying assembly is used to spray the salt solution onto the flour in the processing box 1. The spraying assembly includes a discharge pipe 205 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mixing cylinder 202. A solenoid valve is provided in the discharge pipe 205. A spray pipe 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the discharge pipe 205. Several spray heads 207 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the spray pipe 206 at equal intervals. After the solenoid valve in the discharge pipe 205 is opened, the salt solution in the mixing cylinder 202 enters the spray pipe 206 through the discharge pipe 205, and is then evenly sprayed into the processing box 1 through the spray heads 207.
[0029] Working principle: Add an appropriate amount of flour to the processing box 1. When salt needs to be added, add the required amount of salt to the mixing drum 202 through the feeding pipe 204. Then, add an appropriate amount of warm water to the mixing drum 202 through the water inlet pipe 203. Start the stirring motor 301. The stirring motor 301 drives the rotating shaft 302 to rotate the first stirring rod 303, thus stirring and mixing. At the same time, the rotating shaft 302 also drives the mounting rod 304 to drive the actuating plate 305 to revolve around the rotating shaft 302. At the same time, the mounting rod 304 revolves, driving the gear 306 to rotate. Under the meshing of the end face gear ring 307, the gear 306 drives the mounting rod 304 to rotate the agitator plate 305, continuously pushing the salt and water at the bottom of the mixing cylinder 202 upwards, promoting the dissolution of the salt, and gradually dissolving the salt in the water to form a salt solution. The melting of the salt is observed through the observation window 4. After the salt is completely dissolved, the mounting frame 201 begins to move. At the same time, the solenoid valve in the discharge pipe 205 is opened, so that the salt solution in the mixing cylinder 202 is evenly sprayed into the flour through the spray head 207, improving the uniformity of the mixing of salt and flour.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
