Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water-milled rice cake processing, specifically a rice cake cooling and forming device. Background Technology

[0002] Rice cake processing is a traditional and regionally distinctive food processing technique. Traditional water-milled rice cake processing generally begins with soaking late-season japonica rice. After soaking, the rice is rinsed with clean water and then ground into a paste using starch. The paste is then placed in a cloth bag for pressing and draining. The drained rice flour blocks are then crushed by an external grinder and steamed. The steamed rice flour is then extruded into shape using an extruder. The shaped rice cakes are then cooled using a cooling and shaping device. This cooling device quickly cools and shapes the extruded rice cakes, preventing them from deforming and sticking on the conveyor belt due to excessive temperature, which would affect the subsequent equidistant cutting of the rice cakes.

[0003] Currently, after extrusion, rice cakes on the market are generally cooled in a cooling water tank before being conveyed out, as shown in the cooling method disclosed at https: / / v.douyin.com / WxK4ZT5jDOk / . However, during the water cooling process, the rice cakes simply pass directly through the cooling water tank or are limited by a limiting roller inside the tank. The movement path of the rice cakes in these cases is fixed, meaning the time they spend inside the cooling water tank is also fixed. This fixed cooling time results in incomplete cooling, leading to uneven temperatures on the surface and inside of the rice cakes, affecting subsequent processing and product quality. Furthermore, the fixed movement path limits the capacity of the cooling water tank, preventing flexible adjustments based on production needs, thus making the entire device's application too limited. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rice cake cooling and forming device to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the movement path of rice cake inside the cooling water tank is too fixed in the current cooling and forming devices on the market.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rice cake cooling and forming device, including an extrusion mechanism, which is used for the extrusion forming of rice cakes;

[0006] A cooling water tank is located on one side of the extrusion mechanism and is used to cool the rice cakes extruded from the extrusion mechanism.

[0007] Also includes;

[0008] An adjustment component, located inside the cooling water tank, is used to limit the movement of rice cakes passing through the cooling water tank. The adjustment component includes a limiting roller and an adjusting roller. Adjusting rollers are provided on both sides of the limiting roller, and the adjusting rollers change angle outside the limiting roller to adjust the cooling path of the rice cakes.

[0009] Preferably, the extrusion mechanism includes a fixed base, a fixed cover, a servo motor, an auger, a feed inlet, and a discharge nozzle. The fixed base is provided with a fixed cover at its top, and an auger is provided inside the fixed cover. One side of the auger is coaxially connected to the servo motor, and the servo motor is installed on the outside of the fixed cover. The fixed cover is provided with a feed inlet that penetrates it, and the top of the fixed cover is connected to the discharge nozzle.

[0010] Preferably, the discharge nozzle is located slightly to the left of the top of the cooling water tank.

[0011] Preferably, the limiting roller is mounted on a bearing located slightly above the center of the cooling water tank, and is positioned on the central axis of the cooling water tank.

[0012] Preferably, the top ends of both sides of the adjusting roller are provided with mounting components and connecting components, and the symmetrical connecting components are connected by a connecting shaft. The top end of one side of the connecting shaft is coaxially connected to the control motor, and the control motor is installed on the outside of the cooling water tank.

[0013] Preferably, the mounting assembly includes a mounting base, a connecting base, and a mounting cover. The mounting base and the connecting base are integrally mounted, and the cross-section of the mounting base and the connecting base is arranged in an "L" shape. The mounting base has a circular through hole in the middle, which penetrates the arc groove on the connecting base. The arc groove engages with the shaft at the top of the adjusting roller body. The top of the connecting base is bolted with an arc-shaped mounting cover.

[0014] Preferably, the connecting assembly includes a connecting rod, a pre-reserved groove, a telescopic cylinder, and a movable rod. The top end of the connecting rod is provided with a pre-reserved groove, and the telescopic cylinder and the movable rod are connected inside the pre-reserved groove. One top end of the telescopic cylinder and the movable rod is connected to the mounting base, and the other top end is connected to the connecting shaft.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the rice cake cooling and forming device;

[0016] The adjusting rollers on both sides of the limiting roller can change angle with the rotation of the connecting assembly, thus changing the distance between the limiting roller and the adjusting roller. Consequently, the movement path of the rice cake as it passes through the limiting roller and the two adjusting rollers can change with the distance between them. This allows for adjustment of the rice cake's movement path within the cooling water tank, and consequently, the cooling time. This adapts to the different needs of rice cakes of different sizes and temperatures, extending or shortening the time in the cooling water tank to ensure that the rice cake is fully and evenly cooled. The flexible movement path can be adjusted according to production needs without the need for additional cooling equipment, reducing equipment investment.

[0017] The device is equipped with an installation component, which allows staff to quickly and easily disassemble the adjustment roller 2, facilitating subsequent maintenance and repair. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a rice cake cooling and forming device, including an extrusion mechanism 1, which is used for rice cake extrusion forming.

[0027] Cooling water tank 2 is located on one side of extrusion mechanism 1 and is used to cool the rice cakes extruded from inside extrusion mechanism 1 with water.

[0028] Also includes;

[0029] The adjustment component 3 is located inside the cooling water tank 2 and is used to limit the rice cake passing through the cooling water tank 2. The adjustment component 3 includes a limiting roller 31 and an adjusting roller 32. The adjusting roller 32 is provided on both sides of the limiting roller 31, and the adjusting roller 32 changes angle outside the limiting roller 31 to adjust the cooling path of the rice cake.

[0030] The extrusion mechanism 1 includes a fixed base 11, a fixed cover 12, a servo motor 13, an auger 14, a feed port 15, and a discharge nozzle 16. The fixed base 11 is provided with a fixed cover 12 at its top, and the auger 14 is provided inside the fixed cover 12. One side of the auger 14 is coaxially connected to the servo motor 13, and the servo motor 13 is installed on the outside of the fixed cover 12. The fixed cover 12 is provided with a feed port 15 that penetrates it, and the top of the fixed cover 12 is connected to the discharge nozzle 16.

[0031] The discharge nozzle 16 is located slightly to the left of the upper part of the cooling water tank 2;

[0032] This application provides a rice cake cooling and forming device with an adjustment component 3. Specifically, during use, the entire extrusion mechanism 1 is first fixed in a suitable position under the action of the fixed base 11. The rice flour after external steaming falls through the feed port 15 to the inside of the fixed cover 12. The servo motor 13 is started, which drives the auger 14 at its top to rotate. The rotation of the auger 14 drives the rice flour to be extruded at the discharge nozzle 16 and into the cooling water tank 2. Then, the rice cake strips after forming are taken out and passed through the limiting roller 31 and the adjusting roller 32 respectively. Then, the external conveying mechanism drives one side of the rice cake to move. With the continuous extrusion work of the extrusion mechanism 1, the extruded rice cakes will all pass through the cooling water tank 2 to complete the cooling work.

[0033] The distance between the limiting roller 31 and the adjusting roller 32 can be controlled by adjusting component 3, so that the movement path of the rice cake between the limiting roller 31 and the adjusting roller 32 changes, and thus the time it takes for it to pass through the cooling water tank 2 changes. Therefore, different degrees of cooling can be carried out according to the size and thickness of the rice cake.

[0034] Furthermore, when making adjustments, according to Figure 3-4 As shown, the limiting roller 31 is mounted on a bearing at a position slightly above the middle of the cooling water tank 2, and it is located on the central axis of the cooling water tank 2.

[0035] The top two sides of the adjusting roller body 32 are provided with mounting components 33 and connecting components 34, and the symmetrical connecting components 34 are connected by connecting shafts 35. The top one side of the connecting shaft 35 is coaxially connected to the control motor 4, and the control motor 4 is installed on the outside of the cooling water tank 2.

[0036] The connecting assembly 34 includes a connecting rod 341, a reserved groove 342, a telescopic cylinder 343, and a movable rod 344. The top end of the connecting rod 341 is provided with a reserved groove 342, and the telescopic cylinder 343 and the movable rod 344 are connected inside the reserved groove 342. The top end of one side of the telescopic cylinder 343 and the movable rod 344 is connected to the mounting base 331, and the top end of the other side is connected to the connecting shaft 35.

[0037] Specifically, when an angle change is required, the control motor 4 needs to be started, which drives the connecting shaft 35 to rotate. When the connecting shaft 35 rotates, it drives the mounting assembly 33 to rotate through the connecting component 34. When the mounting assembly 33 rotates, it drives the adjusting roller 32 in the middle to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of changing the position of the adjusting roller 32.

[0038] When the adjusting roller 32 is rotating, if the rotation position cannot meet the requirements, the telescopic cylinder 343 inside the reserved groove 342 can be activated, causing the movable rod 344 at its top to extend inside the reserved groove 342. When the movable rod 344 extends, it will drive the mounting component 33 to change position. Then, in conjunction with the rotation of the control motor 4, the rotation angle range will change, thereby making the adjustment range of the entire device wider.

[0039] When it is necessary to disassemble and repair the adjusting roller 32, according to Figure 5As shown, the mounting assembly 33 includes a mounting base 331, a connecting base 332, and a mounting cover 333. The mounting base 331 and the connecting base 332 are integrally mounted, and the cross-sections of the mounting base 331 and the connecting base 332 are arranged in an "L" shape. The mounting base 331 has a circular through hole in the middle, which penetrates the arc groove on the connecting base 332. The arc groove engages with the shaft at the top of the adjusting roller body 32. The arc-shaped mounting cover 333 is bolted to the top of the connecting base 332.

[0040] During disassembly and assembly, completely drain the water from the cooling water tank 2, and then use an external screwdriver to remove the bolts on the outside of the mounting cover 333, so that the mounting cover 333 and the connecting seat 332 are separated. At this time, the shaft on the adjusting roller body 32 and the arc groove on the connecting seat 332 are separated from each other, and the disassembly of the adjusting roller body 32 can be completed.

[0041] The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
