Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tomato sauce processing technology, specifically to a quantitative weighing device for raw materials used in tomato sauce processing. Background Technology

[0002] Tomato sauce is made primarily from ripe tomatoes through a process involving washing, crushing, juicing, and concentrating, with the addition of appropriate amounts of sugar, salt, vinegar, and other seasonings. It has a bright red color, a rich and mellow tomato flavor, a balanced sweet and sour taste, and a smooth, fluid texture. Tomato sauce has a wide range of uses in cooking. In Western cuisine, it is commonly used as a sauce for pasta and pizza, and as a accompaniment to fried foods. In Chinese cuisine, it can be used to create sweet and sour dishes, enhancing their flavor and appearance.

[0003] In existing technologies, tomato sauce processing involves multiple steps, including quantitative weighing. Especially in large-scale production, the common dynamic weighing method uses a conveyor belt and a weighing sensor to weigh the raw materials in real time during transport. Once the preset weight is reached, the valve opens to divert the raw materials to the next process.

[0004] However, when using conveyor belts for quantitative weighing, the process is greatly affected by factors such as conveying speed and raw material flowability, easily leading to weighing errors. These errors directly impact the stability of tomato sauce quality. Because the weight of tomato sauce raw materials varies with each shipment, the formula ratios cannot be precisely consistent across batches. For tomato sauce, even slight differences in raw material ratios can result in significant variations in taste, such as imbalances in sweetness and acidity, and inconsistent consistency. Therefore, we propose a quantitative weighing device for raw materials in tomato sauce processing. Utility Model Content

[0015] 1. By extending the length of the telescopic rod, the position of the center plate inside the cone tube is lowered, and the movable arm will gradually change angle during this process. Since the top of the cone tube is rotatably connected to the inside of the diverter tube, the movable arm is naturally designed at the bottom position, thereby expanding the bottom of the four cone tubes outward and increasing the diameter of the cone tube. If the diameter of the cone tube is increased by one stage, the amount of tomato sauce passing through per hour can be increased to 1.5 liters, and if another stage is added, the amount passing through can be increased to 2.0 liters, and so on.

A telescopic rod 15 is installed at the center of the top side of the central plate 14. The bottom end of the telescopic rod 15 is fixedly connected to the center of the top side of the central plate 14. The outer side of the telescopic rod 15 is fixedly connected through the inner wall of the transfer pipe 11. The bottom end of the transfer pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the top side of the material preparation silo 17. A conveying pipe 16 is installed at the bottom end of the transfer pipe 11. The bottom end of the transfer pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the top end of the conveying pipe 16. The outer side of the conveying pipe 16 is fixedly connected through the interior of the material preparation silo 17. A material box 18 is installed inside the material preparation silo 17. The interior of the material preparation silo 17 is connected to the exterior of the material box 18. The material box 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom. A rectangular frame 19 is provided on the bottom side of the material box 18, and the bottom side of the material box 18 is fixedly connected to the top side of the rectangular frame 19. A guide plate 114 is provided on the inner surface of the rectangular frame 19, and the inner surface of the rectangular frame 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the guide plate 114. One end of the rectangular frame 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the conveying pipe 16. The bottom end of the conveying pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the top end of the mixing pot 113. The top side of the mixing pot 113 is in contact with the bottom side of the preparation bin 17. A closing plate 110 is provided on the inner wall of the material box 18, and the inner wall of the material box 18 is connected to the outer side of the closing plate 110. The material storage silo 17 is slidably connected to the outer side of the closing plate 110 and the inner wall of the material storage silo 17. A telescopic rod 111 is provided on one side of the material storage silo 17. One end of the telescopic rod 111 is fixedly connected to one side of the material storage silo 17, and the other end of the telescopic rod 111 is fixedly connected to one end of the closing plate 110. A sub-tube 112 is provided on the inner wall of the material storage silo 17. The outer side of the sub-tube 112 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the sub-tube 112. The outer side of the sub-tube 112 is fixedly connected to the inside of the material box 18. The top end of the sub-tube 112 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transfer tube 11.

[0026] In use, this type of raw material quantitative weighing device for tomato sauce processing firstly utilizes a transfer tube 11. When the tomato sauce raw material is continuously fed into the transfer tube 11, a conical tube 12 is installed inside the transfer tube 11. The conical tube 12 consists of four semi-circular diameters, and each of the four conical tubes 12 has a movable arm 13. The top of each movable arm 13 is connected to a central plate 14. To change the diameter of the conical tube 12, a telescopic rod 15 is installed on the top side of the central plate 14. The telescopic rod 15 is located inside the transfer tube 11. By extending... The length of the extension rod 15 is extended, causing the position of the middle plate 14 to move downward within the cone tube 12. As a result, the movable arm 13 will gradually change angle during this process. Since the top of the cone tube 12 is rotatably connected to the inside of the diversion tube 11, the movable arm 13 is naturally designed at the bottom position, thereby expanding the bottom of the four cone tubes 12 outward and increasing the diameter of the cone tube 12. For example, after the diameter of the cone tube 12 is increased by one stage, the amount of tomato sauce passing through per hour can be increased to 1.5 liters. After another stage, the amount passing through can be increased to 2.0 liters, and so on.

[0027] After the tomato sauce raw materials flow through, they fall into the bottom of the transfer pipe 11, where a conveying pipe 16 is installed. The conveying pipe 16 is directly connected to the mixing pot 113, which allows the raw materials to enter the mixing process more accurately. The mixing process has extremely high requirements for the amount of raw materials and the timing of their entry. The direct connection reduces the possibility of raw material residue or leakage caused by intermediate links, ensuring that the amount of raw materials entering the mixing pot 113 is completely consistent with the expected setting.

[0028] A material preparation hopper 17 is designed at the bottom of the transfer pipe 11, and a material box 18 is designed inside the material preparation hopper 17. A sub-pipe 112 is installed inside the material box 18. The top end of the sub-pipe 112 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transfer pipe 11. In this way, when the tomato sauce raw material flows to the bottom end of the transfer pipe 11, some of the tomato sauce raw material will enter the material box 18 from the sub-pipe 112. When the amount of tomato sauce raw material in the mixing pot 113 is insufficient, the length can be extended by the telescopic rod 111, so that the closing plate 110 moves and is no longer located in the material box 18. At this time, the tomato sauce raw material in the material box 18 will naturally enter the rectangular frame 19. The tomato sauce raw material is introduced into the conveying pipe 16 through the guide plate 114 in the rectangular frame 19, thereby supplementing the insufficient amount of tomato sauce raw material. This precise control avoids the problem of too much or too little raw material that may be caused by manual estimation or traditional replenishment methods, and ensures that the mixing ratio of each batch of tomato sauce strictly meets the production standards.

[0029] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1The fixing mechanism 2 includes an L-plate 21. A fixing member 22 is provided on the inner wall of one end of the L-plate 21. The inner wall of one end of the L-plate 21 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the fixing member 22. A material preparation bin 17 is provided on the outer side of one end of the fixing member 22. The outer side of one end of the fixing member 22 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the material preparation bin 17. A mixing pot 113 is provided at the bottom end of the L-plate 21. The bottom end of the L-plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top end of the mixing pot 113.

[0030] An L-plate 21 is designed on one side of the preparation silo 17. The bottom end of the L-plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing pot 113, and one side of the L-plate 21 contacts the preparation silo 17. The preparation silo 17 and the L-plate 21 are structurally connected by a fastener 22. The L-plate 21 acts as a sturdy support arm, greatly enhancing the structural stability between the preparation silo 17 and the mixing pot 113. During the storage and transportation of tomato sauce raw materials, the preparation silo 17 will bear the weight of the raw materials and the impact force generated during transportation. The L-plate 21, through its firm connection with the preparation silo 17 and the mixing pot 113, evenly distributes these forces, effectively preventing the preparation silo 17 from shifting, shaking, or even tipping over. At the same time, when it is necessary to repair or clean the preparation silo 17 or the mixing pot 113, the preparation silo 17 can be quickly separated from the L-plate, which is convenient for operators and reduces the difficulty of maintenance.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-5 Inside the transfer tube 11, a tapered tube 12 is installed. The tapered tube 12 consists of four semi-circular diameters, and each of the four tapered tubes 12 has a movable arm 13. The top of each movable arm 13 is connected to a central plate 14. To change the diameter of the tapered tube 12, a telescopic rod 15 is installed on the top side of the central plate 14. The telescopic rod 15 is located inside the transfer tube 11. By extending the length of the telescopic rod 15, the position of the central plate 14 within the tapered tube 12 moves downwards. This causes the movable arms 13 to gradually change angle. Since the top of the tapered tube 12 is rotatably connected to the inside of the transfer tube 11, the movable arms 13 are naturally positioned at the bottom, thus expanding the bottom of the four tapered tubes 12 outwards and increasing the diameter of the tapered tube 12. The bottom end of the transfer pipe 11 is designed with a material preparation bin 17, and the material preparation bin 17 is designed with a material box 18 inside. The material box 18 is equipped with a sub-pipe 112. The top end of the sub-pipe 112 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the transfer pipe 11. In this way, when the tomato sauce raw material flows to the bottom end of the transfer pipe 11, some of the tomato sauce raw material will enter the material box 18 from the sub-pipe 112. When the amount of tomato sauce raw material in the mixing pot 113 is insufficient, the length can be extended by the telescopic rod 111, so that the closing plate 110 moves and is no longer located in the material box 18. At this time, the tomato sauce raw material in the material box 18 will naturally enter the rectangular frame 19. The tomato sauce raw material is introduced into the conveying pipe 16 through the guide plate 114 in the rectangular frame 19, thereby replenishing the insufficient amount of tomato sauce raw material.

[0032] An L-plate 21 is designed on one side of the preparation silo 17. The bottom end of the L-plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the mixing pot 113, and one side of the L-plate 21 contacts the preparation silo 17. The preparation silo 17 and the L-plate 21 are structurally connected by a fastener 22. The L-plate 21 acts as a sturdy support arm, greatly enhancing the structural stability between the preparation silo 17 and the mixing pot 113. During the storage and transportation of tomato sauce raw materials, the preparation silo 17 will bear the weight of the raw materials and the impact force generated during transportation.
