[0027] The feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding rack 101, a feeding bin 102 is installed on the top of the feeding rack 101, and hydraulic components 103 are installed on the inner walls of both ends of the feeding rack 101.

A steam heating component 206 is installed at the top of the fixed frame 201.
[0029] The first cooling mechanism 3 includes a first support frame 301, which is installed at the bottom of the fixed frame 201. A first motor 302 is installed at one end of the outer wall of the first support frame 301. A first conveying roller 303 is driven and connected to one end of the first motor 302. A first cooling conveyor belt 304 is connected to the outside of the first conveying roller 303. A first cooling fan 305 is installed on the outer wall of the first support frame 301. A first air supply pipe 306 is inserted into the top of the first cooling fan 305. A first cooling pipe 307 is inserted into the other end of the first air supply pipe 306. A scraper 308 is installed at one end of the first support frame 301.
[0030] The second cooling mechanism 4 includes a second support frame 401, which is installed at the bottom of the first support frame 301. A second motor 402 is installed at one end of the outer wall of the second support frame 401. A second conveying roller 403 is driven and connected to one end of the second motor 402.

A discharge hopper 408 is installed at one end of the second support frame 401.
[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting plate 104 has an L-shaped structure, and the bottom of the limiting plate 104 is attached to the top of the heating conveyor belt 204. When the hydraulic component 103 is at its maximum hydraulic distance, the limiting plate 104 is attached to both ends of the bottom of the feeding hopper 102. The limiting plate 104 driven by the hydraulic component 103 is set to limit the width of the sweet potato starch paste, which facilitates the production of sweet potato skins of different widths according to requirements and improves the adaptability of the heating and forming equipment.
[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, there are two limiting rollers 205, and both the first conveying roller 303 and the limiting rollers 205 are rotatably connected to the inside of the fixed frame 201. The two limiting rollers 205 are located at both ends of the steam heating component 206.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the first support frame 301 and the second support frame 401 are inclined structures, and the inclination directions of the first support frame 301 and the second support frame 401 are opposite. The horizontal distance of the higher end of the first support frame 301 is greater than that of one end of the fixed frame 201, and the horizontal distance of the higher end of the second support frame 401 is greater than that of the lower end of the first support frame 301. The inclined first support frame 301 and the second support frame 401 are set to assist in the discharge of the sweet potato skin after it has been heated and formed on the fixed frame 201. This facilitates the sweet potato skin to be flipped and discharged on the two support frames, which facilitates the cooling of both sides of the sweet potato skin and improves the cooling effect of the heated sweet potato skin.
[0034] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 andFigure 5 As shown, a scraper is installed inside the scraper frame 308, and the scraper frame 308 is installed on the top of the higher end of the first support frame 301, with the scraper attached to the lower part of the heating conveyor belt 204. The scraper is set at the bottom of the discharge end of the heating conveyor belt 204 to scrape the sweet potato peel after heating and forming, so that the sweet potato peel can fall onto the first cooling conveyor belt 304 below for cooling and conveying, avoiding the sweet potato peel from adhering to the heating conveyor belt 204 and affecting the conveying effect of the heating conveyor belt 204 on the sweet potato peel raw material, thereby improving the heating and forming effect of the sweet potato peel.
[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple first cooling pipes 307 and second cooling pipes 407, which are respectively connected to the first air supply pipe 306 and the second air supply pipe 406. The bottom of the first cooling pipe 307 and the second cooling pipe 407 are provided with air outlets, and the first cooling pipe 307 and the second cooling pipe 407 are respectively located above the first cooling conveyor belt 304 and the second cooling conveyor belt 404. Multiple sets of cooling pipes that can supply air are arranged above the two cooling conveyor belts below to cool the heated sweet potato skin, improve the cooling effect of the sweet potato skin, improve the efficiency of discharging the sweet potato skin after heating and forming, and facilitate the discharge of the sweet potato skin.
[0036] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, both the first cooling conveyor belt 304 and the second cooling conveyor belt 404 are made of stainless steel, and both the first cooling conveyor belt 304 and the second cooling conveyor belt 404 have a hollow structure inside; the hollow structure of the cooling conveyor belt further cools the contact surface between the sweet potato skin and the cooling conveyor belt, improves the cooling efficiency of the sweet potato skin, and facilitates the discharge of the material.
[0037] The usage method and advantages of this utility model: This easy-to-discharge heating and forming equipment operates as follows:
[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the raw materials for sweet potato peel production are first poured into the feeding hopper 102 and then fed onto the heating conveyor belt 204 on the lower fixed frame 201 through the bottom feeding port. Then, the drive motor 202 is started to drive the drive roller 203 to rotate, which in turn drives the heating conveyor belt 204. Simultaneously, the hydraulic components 103 at both ends of the feeding frame 101 drive the limiting plate 104 to adjust and limit the width of the sweet potato peel raw materials on the heating conveyor belt 204. The steam heating component 206 is then activated to heat and shape the sweet potato peel raw materials on the heating conveyor belt 204, and the materials are scraped by the scraper 308 at the other end of the bottom, thus preventing the heating process from being completed. After being formed, the sweet potato peel falls onto the higher end of the first cooling conveyor belt 304 below. Then, the first motor 302 is started to drive the first conveyor roller 303 to rotate and drive the first cooling conveyor belt 304 to transport the sweet potato peel. The first cooling fan 305 at the top delivers air from the first cooling pipe 307 to cool it. The peel then enters the second cooling conveyor belt 404 below from the lower end of the first cooling conveyor belt 304, where it is flipped over to cool the other side. Finally, after being cooled by air delivered by the second cooling pipe 407 on the second cooling conveyor belt 404, the peel enters the discharge hopper 408 at the lower end, thus completing the discharge of the sweet potato peel.
[0039] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. 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 preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
