[0002] In the food processing industry, the production of dried fruit is a crucial step, and the flattening and shaping process of dried fruit has a key impact on the product's taste, appearance, as well as subsequent processing and packaging. Traditional dried fruit flattening and shaping equipment has revealed a series of problems that urgently need to be solved in practical applications, which seriously restricts the efficiency and quality improvement of dried fruit processing.
[0003] Traditional fruit flattening machines typically employ a fixed height design, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the height according to the original thickness and target flattening thickness of different types of dried fruit. This makes it difficult to ensure that each piece of dried fruit is flattened evenly and effectively when processing dried fruit of varying thicknesses. For thicker dried fruit, the desired flattening degree may not be achieved; while for thinner dried fruit, excessive pressure may cause breakage, severely affecting product quality and yield. Therefore, this application designs an easily adjustable fruit flattening and forming device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0019] Example: See Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses an adjustable dried fruit flattening and forming device, comprising a frame 1, a conveyor 2 installed inside the frame 1, which facilitates automated transportation of dried fruit, improves production efficiency, and ensures that the dried fruit enters the flattening machine 4 evenly and stably; a feeding hopper 3 is attached to one side of the top of the conveyor 2, which ensures that the dried fruit enters the transportation process in an orderly manner, avoiding accumulation or spillage; a support component is provided at the bottom of the feeding hopper 3, and a placement plate 6 is provided at the bottom of one side of the conveyor 2, which facilitates the collection of the flattened dried fruit; the placement plate 6 is fixed to one end of the frame 1, and an adjustment component is welded to the top surface of the frame 1, on which two mounting plates 11 are provided, which facilitate the installation stability of the flattening machine 4 and the second scraper 9; the flattening machine 4 is installed between the two mounting plates 11, which facilitates the flattening and forming of the dried fruit.
[0020] In this utility model, the adjusting component includes two pairs of support columns 10 symmetrically welded to the frame 1. Each pair of support columns 10 has an adjusting groove equidistantly spaced. The mounting plate 11 is slidably fitted onto one pair of support columns 10 at both ends. Pins for limiting the height of the mounting plate 11 are inserted into the adjusting grooves. The adjusting component facilitates good versatility and flexibility of the device, allowing adjustments based on the characteristics and processing requirements of different dried fruits, thus improving the applicability and processing quality of the device. The supporting component includes an L-shaped plate 13 located at the other end of the frame 1. One end of the L-shaped plate 13 is telescopic, and a positioning pin is inserted into one end of the L-shaped plate 13. A hinge seat 12 is welded to the bottom of the feeding hopper 3, and the top of the L-shaped plate 13 is hinged to the hinge seat 12. The supporting component facilitates adjusting the position and angle of the feeding hopper 3. The frame can be flexibly adjusted to ensure that the dried fruit falls accurately onto the conveyor 2. A mounting block 7 is fixed to one end of the frame 1. A first scraper 8 is provided on the mounting block 7. One end of the first scraper 8 abuts against the bottom surface of the conveyor 2. The first scraper 8 helps to prevent dried fruit debris and impurities from accumulating on the conveyor 2. A second scraper 9 is fixed to the mounting plate 11. One end of the second scraper 9 abuts against the top surface of the flattener 4. The second scraper 9 helps to prevent dried fruit debris and impurities from accumulating on the flattener 4. A first motor 5 for driving the conveyor 2 is installed on one side of the frame 1. A second motor for driving the flattener 4 is installed on the side wall of the mounting plate 11. The first motor 5 helps to ensure that the conveyor 2 can operate stably and efficiently, realize the continuous transportation of dried fruit, and improve production efficiency.
[0021] Working Principle: In the use of this utility model, the dried fruit to be processed is first stored in the feeding hopper 3. The feeding hopper 3 is positioned by means of a bottom support structure, which consists of an L-shaped plate 13 and a hinge seat 12. One end of the L-shaped plate 13 is telescopic, and its length is adjusted by a positioning pin. Its top end is connected to the hinge seat 12 at the bottom of the feeding hopper 3. This design allows the feeding hopper 3 to flexibly adjust its height and angle, ensuring that the dried fruit falls accurately onto the conveyor 2, achieving uniform feeding. Then, the first motor 5 on one side of the frame 1 starts, providing power to the conveyor 2 to make it run. The conveyor 2 receives the dried fruit falling from the feeding hopper 3 and transports it towards the flattening machine 4. During the transportation process, the first scraper 8 installed on the mounting block 7 at one end of the frame 1 plays a role. It closely adheres to the bottom surface of the conveyor 2, continuously scraping away any remaining dried fruit debris and impurities during transportation, keeping the conveyor 2 in good condition. 2. Cleaning: To prevent impurities from accumulating and affecting transportation efficiency and equipment lifespan, the dried fruit arrives at the flattening machine 4 via the conveyor 2. The flattening machine 4 is installed between two mounting plates 11. The two ends of the mounting plates 11 are fitted onto the support columns 10. The support columns 10 are equipped with adjustment grooves, which, together with the pins, allow for adjustment of the height of the mounting plates 11. Thus, the height of the flattening machine 4 can be flexibly adjusted according to different dried fruit thicknesses and processing requirements. The second motor on the side wall of the mounting plate 11 starts, driving the flattening machine 4 to operate and flatten the conveyed dried fruit, pressing it into a predetermined shape and thickness. At the same time, the second scraper 9 on the mounting plate 11 is in close contact with the top surface of the flattening machine 4 to promptly clean up any remaining dried fruit debris on the top surface of the flattening machine 4, ensuring the normal operation of the flattening machine 4 and improving the quality of the dried fruit products. Finally, the shaped dried fruit falls into the storage box on the placement plate 6, thus ending the use of the easily adjustable dried fruit flattening and forming device.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
