[0028] Example 1

[0029] Regarding the problem 1 mentioned above: the existing horseshoe popping bead rolling device usually sprays sodium alginate solution onto the horseshoe pieces during the rolling process to make them round, but the sprayed sodium alginate solution is not easy to collect, which easily leads to waste.

[0030] The solution is as follows: A popping bead rounding and shaping component in this embodiment includes a housing 100, a collection box 200, and a return component 300.

[0031] The housing 100 is square, and a receiving cavity is formed on the front side wall of the housing 100. A roller 110 is rotatably connected inside the receiving cavity. The roller 110 is cylindrical, and multiple through holes 111 are evenly formed on its outer wall. A mounting plate 120 is installed on the rear side wall of the housing 100, and a motor 121 is installed on the side wall of the mounting plate 120. The output end of the motor 121 is coaxial with the roller 110 and extends into the housing 100 and is connected to the roller 110. A solution tank 130 is installed on the top of the housing 100, and a solution tank 130 is installed on its side wall. A delivery pipe 131 is provided, and an observation window 132 is provided on the side wall of the solution tank 130. The observation window 132 is equipped with transparent glass.

The bottom of the receiving cavity has a sloping structure, and multiple through grooves 140 are provided at the bottom of the receiving cavity. The through grooves 140 are elongated and evenly arranged at the bottom of the receiving cavity. The collection box 200 is installed at the bottom of the housing 100, and a collection groove 210 is provided at the top of the collection box 200. The bottom end of the through grooves 140 extends out of the bottom of the housing 100 and connects with the collection groove 210. 0 connection. Not shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the electric nozzle is a NIKKI NNPT1 / 8H-S model nozzle equipped with a high-pressure plunger pump. In this embodiment, the motor 121 is a Y132S-4 model three-phase asynchronous motor, and a door panel is provided at the opening of the housing 100 for sealing the opening of the roller 110 after the water chestnuts are loaded and unloaded. When rolling the water chestnut popping beads, the diced water chestnuts are soaked in a calcium lactate solution, drained, and then coated with calcium lactate powder and cassava flour. The processed water chestnuts are then poured into the roller. Inside the drum 110, the motor 121 is started to drive the drum 110 to rotate. At the same time, the nozzle is started to spray the sodium alginate solution inside the solution tank 130 onto the surface of the drum 110 through the delivery pipe 131. The solution enters the inside of the drum 110 through the through hole 111 and is sprayed onto the surface of the horseshoe. The horseshoe pieces tumble inside the drum 110 as the drum 110 rotates and mix with the sodium alginate solution to form a shape. During the rotation of the drum 110, excess sodium alginate solution enters the collection tank 210 through the bottom slope of the receiving cavity and enters the collection tank 210 through the through groove 140 for collection.

[0032] The reflux assembly 300 includes a fixed tube 310 mounted on the side wall of the housing 100, a piston 320 located inside the fixed tube 310, a first connecting tube 330 mounted at the bottom of the fixed tube 310, and a second connecting tube 340 mounted at the top of the fixed tube 310. The other end of the first connecting tube 330 extends into the collection tank 210 near the bottom, and the other end of the second connecting tube 340 extends into the solution tank 130 near the top. The piston 320 is connected to a motor 121, and a first gear 122 is mounted on the output end of the motor 121. A second gear 150 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing 100. The second gear 150... The first gear 122 is engaged, and the diameter of the second gear 150 is smaller than that of the first gear 122.

A first one-way valve 331 is installed on the body of the first connecting pipe 330, and a second one-way valve 341 is installed on the body of the second connecting pipe 340. When motor 121 drives roller 110 to rotate, motor 121 drives first gear 122 to rotate. First gear 122 drives second gear 150 and first pulley 151 to rotate. When first pulley 151 rotates, it uses a belt to drive second pulley 161 and reciprocating threaded rod 162 to rotate. When the reciprocating threaded rod 162 rotates, the screw structure drives the fixed rod 321 and piston 320 to reciprocate inside the fixed tube 310. When the piston 320 moves out of the fixed tube 310, the first one-way valve 331 opens and the second one-way valve 341 closes. The solution inside the collection tank 210 enters the fixed tube 310 through the first connecting pipe 330. When the piston 320 moves into the fixed tube 310, the first one-way valve 331 closes and the second one-way valve 341 opens. The solution inside the fixed tube 310 flows back to the solution tank 130 through the second connecting pipe 340, which can prevent the waste of solution.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Regarding the second problem to be solved above: the existing rounding device lacks a filtration structure when recycling used sodium alginate solution, making it inconvenient to use.

[0035] The solution is as follows: The popping bead rounding and shaping component of this embodiment also includes a limiting component 400.

[0036] A fixing frame 220 is provided inside the collection tank 210, located near the top of the collection tank 210. A filter cotton 221 is installed inside the fixing frame 220, with a gap between the filter cotton 221 and the bottom of the through-channel 140. When the solution enters the collection tank 210 through the through-channel 140, the filter cotton 221 filters the solution, removing impurities such as hoof fragments, which are then collected in the gap between the filter cotton 221 and the through-channel 140. A sealing groove 230 is provided on the side wall of the collection box 200 at a position corresponding to the fixing frame 220, and a sealing groove is installed on the side wall of the collection box 200. The sealing plate 240 has the same dimensions as the sealing groove 230. A guide groove 211 is provided on the inner wall of the collection groove 210. Guide plates 222 are installed symmetrically on the side walls of the fixing frame 220. When the fixing frame 220 is located inside the collection groove 210, the guide plates 222 are located inside the guide groove 211, the sealing plate 240 is located inside the sealing groove 230, and the side wall of the collection box 200 is flush with the side wall of the sealing plate 240. A limiting plate 241 is installed on the side wall of the sealing plate 240, and a limiting hole 242 is provided at the top of the limiting plate 241. The limiting assembly 400 includes a fixing shell 410 installed on the side wall of the collection box 200 and a sliding plate 420 slidably connected inside the fixing shell 410. A spring 430 installed at the bottom of the slide plate 420 and a limiting rod 440 installed at the top of the slide plate 420 are used. When the sealing plate 240 is inside the sealing groove 230, the limiting plate 241 is located directly above the fixed shell 410, and the limiting rod 440 is coaxial with the limiting hole 242, passing through the limiting hole 242. When it is necessary to clean the filter material, the slide plate 420 is pulled down and the spring 430 is squeezed. The limiting rod 440 slides down with the slide plate 420 and retracts into the fixed shell 410. At this time, the limiting rod 440 separates from the limiting hole 242. Pulling the limiting plate 241 causes the sealing plate 240 and the fixed frame 220 to be pulled out from the opening of the sealing groove 230. This allows for the cleaning of residues on the surface of the filter cotton 221. After cleaning, the fixing frame 220 is inserted into the sealing groove 230, and the guide plate 222 is inserted into the guide groove 211 until the side wall of the fixing frame 220 abuts against the inner wall of the collection groove 210. At this time, the sealing plate 240 is located inside the sealing groove 230. Not shown in the figure, the outer wall of the sealing plate 240 is provided with a sealing ring, which can increase the sealing between the sealing plate 240 and the sealing groove 230. At this time, the sliding plate 420 is released, and the spring 430 rebounds to push the sliding plate 420 and the limiting rod 440 upward. The limiting rod 440 passes through the limiting hole 242, limiting and fixing the fixing frame 220 inside the collection groove 210.

[0037] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way.
