Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing technology, specifically a fully automatic rice ball forming mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Rice balls are a common food, typically made from ingredients such as rice, seaweed, fish, and vegetables. A fully automatic rice ball forming mechanism is an automated device used in food processing. This equipment can improve rice ball production efficiency, reduce manual operation, and ensure consistent product quality. The existing technology is authorized by publication number CN 222516179. U's patent discloses a high-speed fully automatic rice ball forming machine, including a feeding mechanism and a forming mechanism. The forming mechanism is mounted on a worktable, and the feeding mechanism is mounted on a frame on the worktable. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding bin and a loosening bin fixedly mounted on the frame. The forming mechanism includes a forming mold rotatably connected to the worktable and a forming block disposed above the forming mold via a pressing block drive unit. During use, although the equipment can simultaneously drive the forming block and the discharge pusher through multiple sets of drive devices, there is a synchronization problem when multiple motors drive the forming block and the discharge pusher separately. Subsequently, the operating error of each motor will accumulate, and over time, the error in forming and pushing will increase, eventually leading to uncoordinated forming and pushing actions. Moreover, using multiple sets of drive devices to simultaneously drive the forming block and the discharge pusher also requires more electrical components and control circuits, which increases the complexity and cost of the equipment. Therefore, we propose a fully automatic rice ball forming mechanism. Utility Model Content

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.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a fully automatic rice ball forming mechanism, including a base 1, a machine platform 2 is provided on the rear side of the upper end of the base 1, a forming mold 5 is provided on the lower side inside the machine platform 2, four forming grooves 6 are respectively provided on the upper end of the forming mold 5, a feeding pipe 13 is provided on the rear side of the upper end of the machine platform 2, the feeding pipe 13 corresponds vertically to the forming grooves 6 on the rear side, and also includes a forming component 7.
[0021] Molding assembly 7 includes a fixing rod 71, a connecting plate 72, a pressure rod 73, an extrusion block 74, and a driving component 77. The fixing rods 71 are respectively disposed on the left side inside the machine base 2, and the two fixing rods 71 are slidably connected to corresponding sliding holes at the lower end of the connecting plate 72. A pressure rod 73 is disposed in the middle of the lower end of the connecting plate 72, and an extrusion block 74 is disposed at the lower end of the pressure rod 73. The extrusion block 74 is located inside the molding groove 6 on the left side. The driving component 77 is disposed inside the machine base 2, and the connecting plate 72 is driven by the driving component 77. Molding assembly 7 also includes a push rod 75, a push plate 76, and a discharge groove 78. The push rod 75 is disposed on the right side of the lower end of the connecting plate 72, and the push plate 76 is disposed at the lower end of the push rod 75. The discharge groove 78 is disposed on the lower side of the machine base 2. At the front end, the push plate 76 passes through the forming groove 6 on the front side and extends into the interior of the unloading groove 78. The driving component 77 includes a crossbar 771, a transmission plate 772, a fixed plate 773, an adjusting rod 774, a drive motor 775, a central wheel 776, and a drive rod 777. The crossbar 771 is located on the rear side of the left wall of the machine base 2. The transmission plate 772 is rotatably connected to the right side of the outer arc surface of the crossbar 771. Adjusting grooves and drive grooves are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the right end of the transmission plate 772. The fixed plate 773 is located on the front side of the upper end of the connecting plate 72. The adjusting rod 774 is provided on the upper side of the left end of the fixed plate 773. The left end of the adjusting rod 774 is located inside the adjusting groove. The drive motor 775 is located on the upper side of the left end of the machine base 2. The output shaft of the drive motor 775... A central wheel 776 is provided at the right end, and a drive rod 777 is provided on the lower side of the right end of the central wheel 776. The right end of the drive rod 777 is located inside the drive groove. The input end of the drive motor 775 is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group 14. The output shaft of the drive motor 775 will drive the central wheel 776 to rotate. The central wheel 776 will drive the drive rod 777 to rotate around the axis of the central wheel 776. Since the axis of the drive rod 777 does not coincide with that of the central wheel 776, the drive rod 777 will generate lateral and vertical displacements during the circular motion. At this time, the drive rod 777 will slide and rotate relative to each other inside the drive groove, thereby causing the drive rod 777 to drive the transmission plate 772 to rotate around the crossbar 771. When the moving rod 777 rotates to the lower side of the crossbar 771, the driving rod 777 will drive the transmission plate 772 to rotate downward around the crossbar 771. At this time, the adjusting rod 774 slides inside the adjusting groove and rotates relative to the adjusting groove, so that the transmission plate 772 drives the fixed plate 773 to move downward through the adjusting rod 774. The fixed plate 773 will drive the pressure rod 73 and the push rod 75 to move downward through the connecting plate 72. The pressure rod 73 and the push rod 75 will drive the extrusion block 74 and the push plate 76 to move downward, thus performing extrusion molding and material pushing at the same time, ensuring that the movement of the pressure block and the push plate is completely synchronized, improving the accuracy of molding and material pushing. The whole process can be completed with only one set of driving equipment, reducing the number of electrical components and control circuits.
[0022] Among them, the right end of the machine 2 is equipped with a control switch group 14. The input end of the control switch group 14 is electrically connected to an external power supply, which can regulate the electrical components inside the equipment.
[0023] The machine 2 has a cavity 3 on its lower side. An output rod 4 is rotatably connected to the front side of the top wall of the cavity 3. The upper end of the output rod 4 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the forming mold 5. A motor 8 is installed on the front side of the bottom wall of the cavity 3. The upper end of the output shaft of the motor 8 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the output rod 4. The input end of the motor 8 is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group 14. When the control switch group 2 is activated, the motor 8 starts to run. The output shaft of the motor 8 drives the forming mold 5 to rotate 90° through the output rod 4, thereby rotating the forming tank 6 containing rice to the left side inside the machine 2.
[0024] The output rod 4 has a chuck 9 in the middle of its outer arc surface, and a socket is provided in the middle of the outer arc surface of the chuck 9. An electric push rod 10 is provided on the upper side of the rear wall of the cavity 3. A plug rod 11 is provided at the front end of the telescopic end of the electric push rod 10. The plug rod 11 is installed in conjunction with the socket. The input end of the electric push rod 10 is electrically connected to the output end of the control switch group 14. By controlling the control switch group 14, the motor 8 stops running, and the drive motor 775 and the electric push rod 10 start running. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 10 extends, thereby causing the electric push rod 10 to drive the plug rod 11 to move forward, so that the plug rod 11 is inserted into one of the sockets in the middle of the outer arc surface of the chuck 9, thereby realizing the limiting and fixing of the forming mold 5.
[0025] Wherein: An inclined chute 12 is provided on the front side of the upper end of the base 1. The inclined chute 12 corresponds to the upper and lower positions of the feeding chute 78. The rice ball after being pushed out is moved to the external conveying equipment through the inclined chute 12. Finally, the extruded rice ball is moved to the next process through the external conveying equipment.
[0026] The working principle of the fully automatic rice ball forming mechanism provided by this utility model is as follows: During the use of the fully automatic rice ball forming mechanism, rice is first injected into the rear forming groove 6 through the feed pipe 13 by an external conveying device. When the rear forming groove 6 is filled with enough rice, the electric push rod 10 starts to run by controlling the switch group 14. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 10 shortens, thereby causing the electric push rod 10 to drive the insert rod 11 to move backward, thereby separating the insert rod 11 from the insertion port. Then, the motor 8 starts to run by controlling the switch group 2. The output shaft of the motor 8 drives the forming mold 5 to rotate 90° through the output rod 4, thereby rotating the forming groove 6 containing rice to the left side inside the machine 2. The equipment continues to inject rice into the rear forming tank 6 through the feed pipe 13. Simultaneously, by controlling the switch group 14, the motor 8 stops running, and the drive motor 775 and electric push rod 10 start running. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 10 extends, causing it to move the insertion rod 11 forward, thus engaging the insertion rod 11 with one of the insertion ports located in the center of the outer arc surface of the chuck 9. This achieves the limiting and fixing of the forming mold 5. The output shaft of the drive motor 775 drives the central wheel 776 to rotate. The central wheel 776 then drives the drive rod 777 to rotate around the axis of the central wheel 776. Since the axes of the drive rod 777 and the central wheel 776 do not coincide, the drive rod 777 will generate [something] during its circular motion. Lateral and vertical displacement occurs. At this time, the drive rod 777 will slide and rotate relative to each other inside the drive groove, causing the drive rod 777 to drive the transmission plate 772 to rotate around the crossbar 771. When the drive rod 777 rotates to the lower side of the crossbar 771, it will drive the transmission plate 772 to rotate downwards around the crossbar 771. At this time, the adjusting rod 774 slides and rotates relative to the adjusting groove inside the adjusting groove, causing the transmission plate 772 to drive the fixed plate 773 downwards via the adjusting rod 774. The fixed plate 773 will drive the pressure rod 73 and push rod 75 downwards via the connecting plate 72. The pressure rod 73 and push rod 75 will drive the extrusion block 74 and push plate 76 downwards. The extrusion block 74 will move downwards to the left. Inside the forming groove 6, the rice is compressed into rice balls. When the drive rod 777 rotates to the upper side of the crossbar 771, the drive rod 777 drives the transmission plate 772 to rotate upward around the crossbar 771. At this time, the adjusting rod 774 slides inside the adjusting groove and rotates relative to the adjusting groove, thereby causing the transmission plate 772 to drive the fixed plate 773 to move upward through the adjusting rod 774. The fixed plate 773 drives the pressure rod 73 and the push rod 75 to move upward through the connecting plate 72. The pressure rod 73 and the push rod 75 drive the extrusion block 74 and the push plate 76 to move upward, thereby separating the extrusion block 74 and the push plate 76 from the forming groove 6. Then, through the regulation of the control switch group 14, the motor 8 and the electric push rod 10 start to run, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 10 shortens.This causes the electric push rod 10 to move the insertion rod 11 backward, thus separating the insertion rod 11 from the insertion port. Then, the output shaft of the motor 8 drives the forming mold 5 to rotate 90° via the output rod 4, causing the forming trough 6 containing rice to rotate to the left side inside the machine 2, while the forming trough 6 containing rice balls rotates to the front side inside the machine 2. Then, the external equipment continues to inject rice into the rear forming trough 6 through the feed pipe 13. After that, through the control switch group 14, the motor 8 stops running, and the drive motor 775 and the electric push rod 10 start running. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 10 extends, causing the electric push rod 10 to move the insertion rod 11 forward, thus allowing the insertion rod 11 to insert into one of the insertion ports in the middle of the outer arc surface of the chuck 9. This achieves the limiting and fixing of the forming mold 5. The running speed of the drive motor 775 is relatively slow, and the central wheel 776 drives the drive rod 777 to rotate downward. During the process, there is sufficient time to adjust the position of the forming mold 5. When the drive rod 777 rotates to the lower side of the crossbar 771, the drive rod 777 will drive the transmission plate 772 to rotate downward around the crossbar 771. At this time, the adjusting rod 774 slides inside the adjusting groove and rotates relative to the adjusting groove, thereby causing the transmission plate 772 to drive the fixed plate 773 to move downward through the adjusting rod 774. The fixed plate 773 will drive the pressure rod 73 and the push rod 75 to move downward through the connecting plate 72. The pressure rod 73 and the push rod 75 will drive the extrusion block 74 and the push plate 76 to move downward. The extrusion block 74 will extrude the rice in the forming groove 6 on the left side into rice balls, while the push plate 76 will push the rice balls in the forming groove 6 on the front side out through the feeding chute 78. The pushed-out rice balls are moved to the external conveying equipment through the inclined chute 12. Finally, the extruded rice balls are moved to the next process through the external conveying equipment.
[0027] It is worth noting that the drive motor 775 and motor 8 disclosed in the above embodiments can be 5IK200A-AF, the electric push rod 10 can be DYTFD2000-550 / 45, and the control switch group 14 is provided with control buttons corresponding to the drive motor 775, motor 8 and electric push rod 10 for controlling their switches.
