Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of low-fat bread production technology, and in particular to a dough dividing machine for low-fat bread production. Background Technology
[0002] Low-fat bread has become a new favorite in modern diets due to its healthy characteristics. It is made from 100% whole wheat flour, rye, or millet, and uses low-temperature fermentation and other processes to enhance its soft texture, while avoiding added sucrose and excessive oil. This type of bread is usually rich in dietary fiber and protein, with calories controlled between 130-174 calories, which can satisfy the feeling of fullness and help with weight loss and body shaping.
[0003] In the production and processing of low-fat bread, the dough usually needs to be divided into quantitative portions to ensure the uniformity of the bread after production. In order to prevent the dough from sticking to the dividing blades, cooking oil is usually applied to the surface of the blades during cutting. However, the application of cooking oil is usually done manually, which is inefficient and makes it difficult for the dividing machine to perform continuous dough division, thus greatly reducing the production efficiency of low-fat bread. Utility Model Content

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This dough dividing machine for low-fat bread production, when the conveying component is activated, drives the limiting storage mechanism containing the dough to move directly below the dividing blade.

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.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-5A dough dividing machine for low-fat bread production includes a fixed frame 1, which is rectangular and made of metal. The metal frame 1 is stronger, less prone to deformation and damage under stress, and more durable. A support column 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed frame 1, and a limit frame 3 is fixedly connected to the top. A limit slider 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limit frame 3, and an electric push rod 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limit slider 4. A fixed plate 6 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 5, and a dividing blade 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 6. A fixed cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limit frame 3, and a contact sensor 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 8. A drive mechanism is located on the left side of the limit frame 3, consisting of a fixed ring 10, a servo motor 11, a threaded rod 12, and a threaded sleeve 13. The fixed ring 10 is fixedly connected to the left side of the limit frame 3, and the servo motor 11 is fixedly connected to the front of the fixed ring 10, with the output end of the servo motor 11 connected to the fixed ring. The inner wall of the fixed ring 10 is rotatably connected, the threaded rod 12 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed ring 10, and the threaded rod 12 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 11. The inner wall of the threaded sleeve 13 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 12, and the threaded sleeve 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the limiting slider 4. It is used to drive the dividing knife 7 to move longitudinally, which facilitates automatic dividing and oiling. The front of the fixed frame 1 is provided with a conveying assembly, which consists of a drive motor 14, a transmission roller 15 and a conveyor belt 16. The drive motor 14 is fixedly connected to the front of the fixed frame 1, and the output end of the drive motor 14 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 1. The transmission roller 15 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 1, and the transmission roller 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 14. The inner wall of the conveyor belt 16 meshes with the surface of the transmission roller 15, which is used to drive the limiting storage mechanism to move to the right, which facilitates continuous dough dividing. The fixed frame 1 is provided with a limiting storage mechanism inside, and the back of the fixed frame 1 is provided with an anti-stick component.
[0022] Specifically, the limiting storage mechanism consists of a support plate 17, silicone limiting rings 18, and a storage cylinder 19. Multiple silicone limiting rings 18 are equidistantly arranged to simultaneously store multiple dough balls, improving the accuracy of dough movement. The support plate 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 1, and its surface is slidably connected to the conveyor belt 16. The silicone limiting rings 18 are fixedly connected to the surface of the conveyor belt 16. The surface of the storage cylinder 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the silicone limiting rings 18, and its surface overlaps with the surface of the conveyor belt 16, thus limiting the storage of dough and improving the accuracy of dough division.
[0023] Specifically, the anti-stick component consists of a fixing plate 20, an oil storage tank 21, and a sponge 22. The fixing plate 20 is fixedly connected to the back of the fixing frame 1 and to the bottom of the limiting frame 3. The oil storage tank 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 20. The sponge 22 overlaps with the inner wall of the oil storage tank 21 to store edible oil and facilitate automatic coating.
[0024] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power, and the main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that can control it.
[0025] In use: First, slide the storage cylinder 19 containing the dough into the silicone limiting ring 18 and overlap it with the conveyor belt 16. Start the drive motor 14 to drive the transmission roller 15 to rotate along the inner wall of the fixed frame 1. Through the engagement of the transmission roller 15 and the conveyor belt 16, the storage cylinder 19 is moved to the right until it is directly below the dividing blade 7. By using multiple silicone limiting rings 18 that are set at equal intervals and controlling the start and stop time of the drive motor 14, the moving distance of the storage cylinder 19 can be precisely controlled. Then, start the electric push rod 5 to push the fixed plate 6 and the dividing blade 7 downward into the storage cylinder 19. The dough can then be quantitatively divided. After the dividing blade 7 is reset, the servo motor 11 is started to drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate along the inner wall of the fixed ring 10. Through the threaded connection between the threaded rod 12 and the threaded sleeve 13, the limiting slider 4 and the electric push rod 5 are driven to slide backward along the inner wall of the limiting frame 3. Through the contact of the limiting slider 4 and the contact sensor 9, the servo motor 11 is automatically stopped. The edible oil inside the oil tank 21 is immersed in the sponge 22. The dividing blade 7 is driven into the oil tank 21 by the electric push rod 5 to contact the sponge 22, and the edible oil is automatically applied.
[0026] In summary, this dough dividing machine for low-fat bread production, when activated, drives the conveying component to move the limiting storage mechanism containing the dough directly below the dividing blade 7. Activating the electric push rod 5 pushes the fixed plate 6 and the dividing blade 7 downwards into the limiting storage mechanism, allowing for quantitative dough division. Activating the drive mechanism drives the limiting slider 4 and the electric push rod 5 backwards to contact the contact sensor 9, automatically stopping the drive mechanism. The electric push rod 5 then pushes the dividing blade 7 into the anti-stick component, automatically applying edible oil. This achieves the goal of automatically applying oil to the dividing blades in the dividing machine to prevent sticking, avoiding the problem of low efficiency in manual application that makes continuous dough dividing difficult. This significantly improves the production efficiency of low-fat bread and solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
