[0035] Reference Figures 1 to 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, the breading feeding system includes a hopper 10 and at least two feeding circuits 20. The hopper 10 is used to store breading. The feeding circuits 20 are respectively connected to the hopper 10 through a distributing pipe assembly 30. The feeding circuits 20 are provided with multiple discharge pipes 11, which are respectively connected to a fried chicken breading packaging machine. The feeding circuits 20 are used to transport breading. The feeding circuits 20 include at least three feeding components 21, one of which is connected to the hopper 10. Adjacent feeding components 21 are interconnected to form a circuit. The discharge pipes 11 are located below the feeding components 21.

[0036] This utility model discloses a breading feeding system that achieves efficient and automated breading supply through a structure including a hopper 10 and at least two feeding loops 20. The hopper 10 stores the breading, ensuring a sufficient supply. The feeding loops 20 are connected to the hopper 10 via a distribution pipe assembly 30 and are equipped with multiple discharge pipes 11, which are connected to a fried chicken breading packaging machine, thus achieving automated conveying of the breading from the hopper 10 to the packaging machine. Specifically, the feeding loop 20 includes at least three feeding components 21, one of which is connected to the hopper 10. Adjacent feeding components 21 are interconnected to form a loop. This design not only improves the flexibility of the feeding process but also ensures its continuity and stability. The discharge pipes 11 are located below the feeding components 21, facilitating the smooth falling of the breading and further improving feeding efficiency. The breading feeding system of this invention effectively solves the problem of manual feeding required in the prior art, improves production efficiency, and reduces labor costs. It is particularly suitable for scenarios where the production scale is expanded and the number of packaging machines requiring feeding is increased, providing strong support for the mass production of breading for fried chicken.

[0037] Specifically, the system mainly includes a hopper 10 and at least two feeding circuits 20. The hopper 10 is designed as a container with sufficient capacity to store coating powder. The top of the hopper 10 may have an opening to facilitate the addition of coating powder. The bottom of the hopper 10 has a discharge port connected to the feeding circuits 20. The feeding circuits 20 are the core part of this invention, and they include at least three feeding components 21. These feeding components 21 can be conveying pipes, screw conveyors, or other devices suitable for conveying coating powder. One of the feeding components 21 is connected to the discharge port of the hopper 10 to receive the coating powder falling from the hopper 10. Adjacent feeding components 21 are interconnected to form a closed or open circuit, ensuring that the coating powder can circulate within the feeding circuits 20. The feeding circuits 20 are also connected to the hopper 10 via a distribution pipe assembly 30, which can be designed as a branch pipe or valve, etc., to control the flow rate and distribution of coating powder from the hopper 10 into different feeding circuits 20. Multiple feeding pipes 11 are provided on the lower side of the feeding circuit 20. These feeding pipes 11 are connected to the feed inlet of the fried chicken coating packaging machine and are used to transport the coating powder from the feeding circuit 20 to the packaging machine. The design of the feeding pipes 11 ensures the smooth flow of the coating powder and avoids blockage or accumulation.

[0038] In actual use, when it is necessary to supply coating powder to the fried chicken coating and packaging machine, simply start the feeding system, and the coating powder will be automatically conveyed from the hopper 10 to the packaging machine through the feeding circuit 20 and the discharge pipe 11. No manual feeding is required, greatly improving production efficiency. Furthermore, since the feeding circuit 20 includes at least two circuits, and each circuit 20 can operate independently, the feeding amount and speed can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different production scales.

[0039] Therefore, it is understood that the coating feeding system according to the present utility model embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects: the hopper 10 conveys the coating powder to the feeding circuit 20 through the feeding pipe assembly 30, and then quickly feeds it into the fried chicken coating packaging machine through the multiple feeding pipes 11 set in the feeding circuit 20, thereby improving the efficiency of fried chicken coating and packaging.

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments of this utility model, the feeding circuit 20 includes four feeding components 21, which are interconnected with each other. The four feeding components 21 are a first feeding component 211, a second feeding component 212, a third feeding component 213, and a fourth feeding component 214. The first feeding component 211 is horizontally arranged, and one end of the first feeding component 211 is connected to the hopper 10. The second feeding component 212 is inclined, and one end of the second feeding component 212 is connected to the lower side of the other end of the first feeding component 211. The third feeding component 213 is horizontally arranged, and one end of the third feeding component 213 is connected to the lower side of the other end of the second feeding component 212. The fourth feeding component 214 is inclined, and one end of the fourth feeding component 214 is connected to the lower side of the other end of the third feeding component 213. The other end of the first feeding component 211 is connected to the lower side of the other end of the fourth feeding component 214.

[0041] In the breading feeding system of this utility model, the feeding circuit 20 is specifically designed to include four feeding components 21, which are interconnected to form an efficient and continuous feeding cycle. First, the first feeding component 211 is horizontally positioned, with one end connected to the hopper 10. This design ensures that the breading smoothly enters the first feeding component 211 from the hopper 10, initiating the feeding process. Next, the second feeding component 212 is inclined, with one end connected to the lower side of the other end of the first feeding component 211. This inclined position allows the breading to flow more smoothly from the first feeding component 211 into the second feeding component 212 under the influence of gravity, and the flow rate of the breading can be controlled by adjusting the inclination angle. Then, the third feeding component 213 is again horizontally positioned, with one end connected to the lower side of the other end of the second feeding component 212. In this way, the breading can continue to flow along the feeding circuit 20 and enter the third feeding component 213. Finally, the fourth feeding component 214 is also inclined, with one end connected to the lower side of the other end of the third feeding component 213. In particular, the other end of the first feeding component 211 is also connected to the lower side of the other end of the fourth feeding component 214, forming a closed feeding loop 20. This design not only improves the flexibility of feeding but also ensures the continuity and stability of the feeding process.

[0042] In actual operation, the coating powder enters the first feeding component 211 from the hopper 10, then flows sequentially through the second feeding component 212, the third feeding component 213, and the fourth feeding component 214, finally returning to the first feeding component 211, forming a cycle. During this process, the discharge pipe 11 can be located below any one or more feeding components 21, conveying the coating powder to the fried chicken coating and packaging machine according to actual needs. This coating powder feeding system is compact, reliable in operation, greatly improves the coating powder feeding efficiency, reduces labor costs, and is particularly suitable for large-scale, continuous production scenarios.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of this invention, the feeding components 21 are connected by connecting cylinders 22. In the powder coating feeding system of this invention, connecting cylinders 22 are used as connecting components to achieve smooth communication between the feeding components 21. Specifically, the outlet end of each feeding component 21 is connected to a connecting cylinder 22, while the inlet end of each feeding component 21 is connected to another connecting cylinder 22. Through the bridging effect of the connecting cylinders 22, adjacent feeding components 21 can be connected to each other, forming a continuous feeding channel. In actual installation, simply insert the outlet end of the feeding component 21 into the corresponding connecting cylinder 22 and fix it using an appropriate fixing method (such as bolts, clips, etc.) to complete the connection between the feeding components 21. Similarly, the inlet end of the feeding component 21 is also connected to another connecting cylinder 22 in the same way.

[0044] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting sleeve 22 is a transparent film sleeve, with both ends of the transparent film sleeve connected to adjacent feeding components 21. Specifically, both ends of the transparent film sleeve are connected to adjacent feeding components 21. During installation, one end of the transparent film sleeve is fitted onto the outlet end of a feeding component 21 and securely fixed using appropriate fixing methods (such as cable ties, clips, etc.) to ensure that the powder coating does not leak from the connection point. Similarly, the other end of the transparent film sleeve is fitted onto the inlet end of an adjacent feeding component 21 and fixed thereon. Using a transparent film sleeve as the connecting sleeve 22 has several advantages. First, its transparency allows for direct observation of the powder coating flow within the sleeve, enabling timely detection and resolution of potential blockages or accumulation problems. Second, the transparent film sleeve is lightweight and flexible, easy to install and disassemble, facilitating maintenance and cleaning of the feeding system. Finally, the transparent film sleeve has a relatively low cost, helping to reduce the overall manufacturing cost of the powder coating feeding system. In actual operation, the coating powder can flow smoothly through the transparent film sleeve between adjacent feeding components 21, and is conveyed from the hopper 10 all the way to the fried chicken coating packaging machine.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 3In some embodiments of this utility model, the feeding assembly 21 includes: a feeding channel and a conveying screw 24. The feeding pipes 11 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the feeding channel on the lower side of the feeding channel. A driving member is provided at one end of the feeding channel. The conveying screw 24 is disposed in the feeding channel. The output end of the driving member is connected to the conveying screw 24. The driving member is used to drive the conveying screw 24 to rotate.

[0046] Specifically, the feeding assembly 21 includes a feeding channel and a conveying screw 24. The feeding channel is the main path for the flow of the coating powder, and its design ensures that the coating powder can flow smoothly from one end to the other. On the underside of the feeding channel, multiple discharge pipes 11 are arranged at intervals along its extension direction. These discharge pipes 11 are connected to the inlet of the fried chicken coating packaging machine and are used to convey the coating powder from the feeding assembly 21 into the packaging machine. The spacing of the discharge pipes 11 can be adjusted according to actual needs to ensure uniform distribution and efficient conveying of the coating powder. At one end of the feeding channel, a drive unit is provided. This drive unit is the power source of the feeding assembly 21, and its output end is connected to the conveying screw 24. The conveying screw 24 is located in the feeding channel, and its spiral design allows it to push the coating powder along the feeding channel when rotating. When the drive unit is activated, its output end drives the conveying screw 24 to rotate. The rotational motion of the conveying screw 24 causes the coating powder to be pushed in the feeding channel, thus flowing along the channel. During the flow process, the breading is conveyed to the fried chicken breading packaging machine through the feeding pipe 11 to complete the feeding process.

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of this invention, an observation window 231 is provided on the upper side of the feeding channel. This observation window 231 can be made of a transparent material, such as transparent plastic or glass, and its size and position are carefully designed to ensure that the operator can clearly see the flow state of the coating powder in the feeding channel. The observation window 231 is tightly connected to the feeding channel to prevent the coating powder from leaking out of the window during the flow process.

[0048] Reference Figures 1 to 3 In some embodiments of this utility model, the material distribution pipe assembly 30 includes a feeding pipe 31 and a plurality of discharging pipes 32. The number of discharging pipes 32 is the same as the number of feeding circuits 20. One end of the feeding pipe 31 is connected to the hopper 10, and the other end of the feeding pipe 31 is connected to one end of the discharging pipe 32. The other end of the discharging pipe 32 is connected to the feeding circuit 20 respectively.

[0049] In the powder coating feeding system of this invention, the distribution pipe assembly 30 evenly distributes the powder coating from the hopper 10 to each feeding loop 20. The distribution pipe assembly 30 includes an inlet pipe 31 and several outlet pipes 32. One end of the inlet pipe 31 is tightly connected to the hopper 10, ensuring that the powder coating flows smoothly from the hopper 10 into the inlet pipe 31. The other end of the inlet pipe 31 is connected to one end of the outlet pipes 32, forming a channel for the powder coating flow. The number of outlet pipes 32 is consistent with the number of feeding loops 20; this design ensures that each feeding loop 20 receives an equal amount of powder coating. The other end of the outlet pipes 32 is connected to each feeding loop 20, evenly distributing the powder coating from the inlet pipe 31 into each feeding loop 20. In actual operation, the powder coating flows from the hopper 10 into the inlet pipe 31 and is then evenly distributed to each feeding loop 20 through the outlet pipes 32. This design not only ensures the even distribution of the powder coating but also improves the efficiency and stability of the feeding system. Meanwhile, since the number of discharge pipes 32 is the same as the number of feeding circuits 20, the structure of the entire feeding system is more compact, reasonable, and easier to maintain and manage.

[0050] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the material distribution pipe assembly 30 also includes several baffles (not shown in the figure), which are movably disposed in the discharge pipe 32. Specifically, the baffles are disposed in the discharge pipe 32 and their positions can be adjusted manually or automatically to change the flow path or flow rate of the powder coating in the discharge pipe 32. When it is necessary to adjust the amount of powder coating in a certain feeding loop 20, the operator only needs to simply adjust the position of the baffle in the corresponding discharge pipe 32 to achieve precise distribution of the powder coating. The mobility of the baffles also makes the entire material distribution pipe assembly 30 more flexible and adaptable. In different production scenarios, the position of the baffles can be quickly adjusted according to actual needs to ensure that the powder coating can be evenly distributed to each feeding loop 20. This design not only improves the efficiency and stability of the feeding system, but also reduces maintenance costs and operating difficulty.

[0051] In some embodiments of this invention, the dispensing pipe assembly 30 further includes a stirring element (not shown in the figure), which is rotatably disposed in the feed pipe 31 and located at the discharge port of the hopper 10. The stirring element is rotatable, meaning that as the powder flows from the hopper 10 into the feed pipe 31, the stirring element can rotate to agitate the powder, preventing it from clumping or settling. The rotation of the stirring element can be driven by a motor or other drive device to ensure continuous operation during the feeding process. When the powder flows out of the hopper 10, it first contacts the stirring element. The rotational movement of the stirring element effectively breaks up any clumps in the powder, keeping it loose and uniform. Thus, as the powder enters the feed pipe 31 and continues to flow to the discharge pipe 32, it ensures that each discharge pipe 32 receives powder with consistent quality and good flowability.

[0052] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0053] Of course, this utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of this utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
