Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing equipment technology, specifically to a toast shaping machine. Background Technology

[0002] A toast shaping machine is a machine that rolls dough, fully degassing the rolled dough to give it a certain degree of stretch and good moisture retention. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN209489374U discloses a toast bread shaping machine, which includes a rolling device. The discharge end of the rolling device is equipped with a placement frame, on which a conveyor belt and a drive mechanism for driving the conveyor belt are mounted. A pressure plate for pressing the dough is also mounted on the placement frame. The pressure plate is arc-shaped at both ends along the direction of the conveyor belt's movement and is fixed to the placement frame by a limiting frame. This toast bread shaping machine can produce dense dough during use, thus resulting in high-quality toast bread after subsequent processing.

[0003] However, the existing toast shaping machines still have the following shortcomings in actual use: (1) The structure is complicated and the operation is inconvenient; (2) The pressure adjustment between the rollers is inconvenient; (3) During the process of rolling the dough, the surface of the roller will be contaminated with flour and dough scraps from the dough. If it is not cleaned for a long time, it will clump together and affect the quality of the subsequent dough. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model proposes a toast shaping machine with a simple structure, convenient operation, easy pressure adjustment between the pressure rollers, and is equipped with a cleaning scraper that can clean the surface of the pressure rollers, enabling real-time cleaning of the roller surface.

[0005] To achieve the above technical solution, this utility model provides a toast shaping machine, comprising: a belt conveyor, a receiving tray installed at the front end of the belt conveyor, a protective cover installed at the rear end of the belt conveyor, a feeding funnel installed on the top of the protective cover, a front upper pressure roller and a rear upper pressure roller arranged horizontally side by side and spaced apart below the feeding funnel, a front lower pressure roller and a rear lower pressure roller arranged horizontally side by side and spaced apart below the front upper pressure roller and the rear upper pressure roller, the front lower pressure roller and the rear lower pressure roller being located above the belt conveyor, a cleaning scraper installed at the bottom of the front upper pressure roller, the rear upper pressure roller, the front lower pressure roller and the rear lower pressure roller, and a pressure adjusting bolt installed at the rear of the rear upper pressure roller and the rear lower pressure roller, the front upper pressure roller and the front lower pressure roller being respectively connected to a drive assembly installed below the belt conveyor, and a placement tray bracket installed at the front end of the belt conveyor, on which a placement tray is installed.

[0006] In the above technical solution, during actual operation, the operator only needs to feed the toast dough into the feeding funnel. The dough falls through the funnel into the first rolling and shaping zone formed between the front upper pressure roller and the rear upper pressure roller, then into the second rolling and shaping zone formed between the front lower pressure roller and the rear upper and lower pressure rollers. Finally, it falls onto the conveyor mesh of the belt conveyor and is transported to the receiving tray. The operator can then remove the dough after the two shaping processes from the receiving tray and place it on a placement tray. Once the placement tray is full, a new tray is replaced. When it is necessary to adjust the pressure of the first or second rolling and shaping zone, simply turn the pressure adjusting bolt installed behind the rear upper or rear lower pressure roller accordingly. The operation is very convenient. Furthermore, by installing cleaning scrapers at the bottom of the front upper pressure roller, rear upper pressure roller, front lower pressure roller, and rear lower pressure roller, real-time cleaning of the roller surfaces can be achieved, preventing clumps from forming on the roller surfaces and affecting the quality of subsequent toast dough shaping.

In actual operation, the drive assembly drives the rear conveyor mesh support roller to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor mesh installed between the front and rear conveyor mesh support rollers to rotate. When the toast dough that has undergone two shaping processes falls onto the conveyor mesh, the rolled and shaped toast dough can be conveyed forward through the conveyor mesh to the receiving tray.

[0008] Preferably, a front roller adjusting bolt is installed in front of the front conveying mesh support roller. In actual operation, the installation position of the front conveying mesh support roller can be adjusted by the front roller adjusting bolt, thereby adjusting the tension of the conveying mesh.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the frame is equipped with casters to facilitate the overall movement of the toast shaping machine.

[0010] Preferably, a transparent viewing panel is installed at the front end of the protective cover so that the operator can better observe the working status in the first and second rolling and shaping areas inside the protective cover.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model's toast shaping machine are as follows: The machine has a simple structure, reasonable design, and convenient operation. Pressure adjustment between the pressure rollers is very convenient, and it is equipped with a cleaning scraper to clean the roller surface, enabling real-time cleaning. In actual operation, the operator simply feeds the toast dough through the feeding funnel. The dough falls into the first rolling and shaping zone formed between the front upper pressure roller and the rear upper pressure roller, then into the second rolling and shaping zone formed between the front lower pressure roller and the rear upper and lower pressure rollers. Finally, it falls onto the conveyor mesh of the belt conveyor and is transported to the receiving tray. The operator can then remove the shaped dough from the receiving tray and place it on a placement tray. Once the tray is full, a new tray is replaced. Adjusting the pressure in either the first or second rolling and shaping zone is simple; just turn the corresponding pressure adjusting bolt installed behind the rear upper or rear lower pressure roller. Operation is very convenient. Furthermore, by installing cleaning scrapers at the bottom of the front upper pressure roller, rear upper pressure roller, front lower pressure roller, and rear lower pressure roller, real-time cleaning of the roller surfaces can be achieved, preventing clumps from forming on the roller surfaces and affecting the quality of subsequent toast dough shaping.
