Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of instant noodle production and processing technology, specifically, to an instant noodle processing and noodle-making device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of instant noodles, dough mixing equipment is needed to mix flour and water in the required proportions. After mixing and stirring, dough is formed. Then, the dough is further processed by a noodle forming machine to form noodles. Further processing, such as cooking and drying, is then carried out to finally produce instant noodles. Therefore, in the field of instant noodle production and processing technology, dough mixing equipment is an indispensable processing equipment. The efficiency of the dough mixing equipment directly determines the production efficiency of instant noodles. For this reason, the performance of dough mixing equipment is particularly important in the field of instant noodle production and processing technology.

[0003] There are various types of dough kneading equipment in the prior art. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN211185639U discloses a dough kneading device for noodle production equipment. The device includes a support frame and a mixing chamber. The mixing chamber is divided into an upper chamber, a lower chamber, and a connecting frame. A sliding plate is provided at one end of the connecting frame. The sliding plate is connected to the lower chamber through an arc groove. A handle and a rotating rod are also installed on the sliding plate. A discharge plate is installed at the outer end of the connecting frame adjacent to the sliding plate. When the dough kneading is completed and the material is discharged, the dough is easily removed from the mixing chamber by sliding the sliding plate.

[0004] In the above-mentioned dough mixing device, flour and water are mixed in the mixing chamber to achieve the purpose of dough mixing. The sliding plate supports the materials in the mixing chamber. However, in actual use, the flour and water are located in the mixing chamber and supported by the sliding plate during mixing. The weight is relatively large, and the flour and water are very sticky after mixing, so they stick to the sliding plate. Therefore, the resistance is relatively large when the sliding plate is pulled out during material discharge, which causes certain difficulties for the material discharge work.

[0005] Therefore, this utility model provides a noodle processing and kneading device that facilitates material discharge and solves the problem of difficult material discharge. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of the embodiments of this utility model and to briefly introduce some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of this section, the abstract, and the title of this invention, and such simplifications or omissions shall not be used to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0007] To address the technical problem of material discharge difficulties in existing dough mixing equipment, this utility model adopts the following technical solution.

[0008] A noodle processing and kneading device includes a housing with an inlet and an outlet. A stirring unit is installed inside the housing, rotating to stir the material within the housing. A discharge mechanism is provided at the outlet, including a support plate that is fitted onto the outlet to seal it. The support plate is rotatably connected to the housing, and its rotation relative to the housing allows for opening the outlet for material discharge.

[0009] Preferably, the discharge mechanism further includes a drive cylinder, one end of which is hinged to the housing, and a connecting shaft is provided on the support plate. The power end of the drive cylinder is hinged to the connecting shaft. The support plate is connected to the housing through a rotating shaft. The drive cylinder works to drive the support plate to rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0010] Preferably, the device further includes a drive assembly for driving the stirring unit to rotate within the housing for stirring. The drive assembly includes a motor, and the stirring unit includes a stirring shaft rotatably mounted within the housing, with one end of the stirring shaft extending to the outside of the housing. The motor and the stirring shaft are connected via a transmission assembly. The motor drives the stirring shaft to rotate through the transmission assembly, thereby causing the stirring unit to rotate within the housing.

[0011] Preferably, the stirring unit further includes a stirring component mounted on the stirring shaft, which rotates with the stirring shaft to stir the material inside the housing.

[0012] Preferably, the stirring assembly includes an adjusting shaft, a sliding shaft, and stirring blades. One end of the adjusting shaft is connected to the stirring shaft, and the other end is slidably connected to the sliding shaft. The stirring blades are installed at the end of the sliding shaft, and the sliding shaft moves relative to the adjusting shaft to adjust the length of the stirring assembly.

[0013] Preferably, the adjusting shaft has a spiral groove, and a guide post is installed on the inner wall of the sliding shaft. The guide post is located in the spiral groove. During the movement of the sliding shaft relative to the adjusting shaft, the guide post moves in the spiral groove, causing the sliding shaft to rotate and thus adjusting the angle of the stirring blade.

[0014] Preferably, the adjusting shaft surface is threaded, and an adjusting sleeve is fitted onto the adjusting shaft surface. The adjusting sleeve has an internal thread in the middle section. The adjusting sleeve is threadedly connected to the adjusting shaft. When the adjusting sleeve rotates, it can move relative to the length direction of the adjusting shaft, thereby pushing the sliding shaft to move relative to the adjusting shaft.

[0015] Preferably, an annular cavity is formed between the sliding shaft and the adjusting shaft, and a spring is installed in the annular cavity. When the adjusting sleeve drives the sliding shaft to move relative to the adjusting shaft, the spring is compressed. When the adjusting sleeve stops moving, the sliding shaft is fixed relative to the adjusting shaft by the elastic force of the spring and the resistance force of the adjusting sleeve.

[0016] Preferably, when the guide post in the sliding shaft moves to the end of the spiral groove, the adjusting sleeve covers the surface of the spiral groove; when the guide post in the sliding shaft is at the top of the spiral groove, the sliding shaft is sleeved on the surface of the spiral groove.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] The dough mixing equipment of this utility model closes the discharge port through the support plate in the discharge mechanism, and drives the support plate to rotate by the drive cylinder during discharge, so that the discharge port opens for discharge. The support plate supports the material on the one hand, and on the other hand, sticky material is hung off by the discharge port during the opening process, avoiding the problem of excessive rotation resistance and ensuring the discharge effect.

[0019] The mixing unit in the dough mixing device of this utility model includes a mixing component and a mixing shaft. The mixing component includes an adjusting shaft, a sliding shaft, and mixing blades. The sliding shaft can move relative to the adjusting shaft to adjust the length of the mixing component. In addition, the sliding shaft rotates itself during the movement relative to the adjusting shaft to adjust the angle of the mixing blades, thus ensuring the mixing effect during dough mixing.

[0037] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below. Example 1

[0039] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the instant noodle processing and dough-kneading equipment in this embodiment. The dough-kneading equipment in this embodiment includes a housing 100, which is provided with an inlet 101 and an outlet 102. In this embodiment, a stirring unit is also provided inside the housing 100. Flour and water enter the housing 100 from the inlet 101 according to the required ratio. A drive component 103 is also provided at one end of the housing 100. The drive component 103 drives the stirring unit in the housing 100 to stir the flour and water, thereby achieving the purpose of dough kneading.

[0040] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a viewing window 104 is also installed on the housing 100. The viewing window 104 is movably installed on the surface of the housing 100, and the viewing window 104 facilitates the operator to observe the stirring situation in the housing 100.

[0041] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the drive assembly 103 includes a motor 103a installed on one side of the housing 100, and the stirring unit inside the housing 100 is provided with a stirring shaft. One end of the stirring shaft extends to the outside of the housing 100, and the stirring shaft and the motor 103a are connected through a transmission assembly 103b. In this embodiment, the motor 103a drives the stirring shaft to rotate through the transmission assembly 103b, which in turn drives the stirring unit in the housing 100 to rotate, stirring the flour and water in the housing 100, thereby achieving the purpose of kneading dough.

[0042] like Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, after the mixing unit has finished mixing the flour and water in the housing 100, the material is discharged through the discharge port 102 of the housing 100. It is worth noting that the discharge port 102 is closed during the mixing process. After the mixing is completed, the discharge mechanism 200 opens the discharge port 102 so that the material can be discharged.

[0043] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the structure of the discharge mechanism 200 in this embodiment. The discharge mechanism 200 in this embodiment includes a support plate 201 rotatably mounted on the discharge port 102. Specifically, a rotating shaft 201a is mounted on the housing 100, and the support plate 201 is rotatably connected to the housing 100 through the rotating shaft 201a. In this embodiment, when the support plate 201 rotates around the rotating shaft 201a, it can rotate to the discharge port 102 to close the discharge port 102, and the support plate 201 can also rotate away from the discharge port 102 to expose the discharge port 102 for discharge.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a connecting shaft 202 is also connected to one side of the support plate 201, and a drive cylinder 203 is hinged on the connecting shaft 202. In this embodiment, the other end of the drive cylinder 203 is rotatably connected to the housing 100. In this embodiment, the drive cylinder 203 works to drive the support plate 201 to rotate around the rotation shaft 201a, so as to close or open the discharge port 102 through the support plate 201. It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the support plate 201 supports the material coming out of the discharge port 102 on the one hand, playing a load-bearing role. On the other hand, the rotation of the support plate 201 at the discharge port 102 allows the material to be discharged from the discharge port 102. Since the support plate 201 is attached to the discharge port 102, the material adhering to the support plate 201 is scraped off through the discharge port 102 during the rotation of the support plate 201, ensuring the utilization rate of the material. Example 2

[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the structure of the mixing unit in this embodiment. The dough kneading device in this embodiment has a mixing unit installed inside its housing 100. The mixing unit includes a mixing shaft, which rotates inside the housing 100 via a drive assembly 103. In this embodiment, the mixing unit also includes multiple mixing components 300 mounted on the mixing shaft. The mixing components 300 rotate inside the housing 100 following the mixing shaft to mix the flour and water inside the housing 100.

[0046] like Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the structure of the stirring assembly 300 in this embodiment. The stirring assembly 300 in this embodiment includes an adjusting shaft 301, a sliding shaft 302, and stirring blades 303. In this embodiment, the length of the stirring assembly 300 can be adjusted by moving the sliding shaft 302 relative to the adjusting shaft 301, so as to adjust the stirring range of the stirring unit as needed. In addition, the sliding shaft 302 can rotate during the movement relative to the adjusting shaft 301, thereby adjusting the angle of the stirring blades 303 and further improving the stirring effect.

[0047] like Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, one end of the adjusting shaft 301 is threaded and is threadedly connected to the stirring shaft and locked by a nut. The other end of the adjusting shaft 301 is connected to the sliding shaft 302, and the end of the sliding shaft 302 is connected to the stirring blade 303. When the sliding shaft 302 moves relative to the adjusting shaft 301, it is used to change the length of the stirring assembly 300. In the process of rotating relative to the adjusting shaft 301, the sliding shaft 302 rotates itself, thereby changing the angle of the stirring blade 303.

[0048] In this embodiment, one end of the adjusting shaft 301 is connected to the stirring shaft, and a spiral groove 301c is provided on the adjusting shaft 301. In addition, the sliding shaft 302 is slidably sleeved on the adjusting shaft 301, and a guide post is connected to the inner wall of the sliding shaft 302. In this embodiment, the guide post is located in the spiral groove 301c. When the sliding shaft 302 moves relative to the adjusting shaft 301, the guide post slides in the spiral groove 301c. Due to the spiral action of the spiral groove 301c, the sliding shaft 302 rotates itself when it moves relative to the adjusting shaft 301. Since the stirring blade 303 is installed at the end of the sliding shaft 302, the rotation of the sliding shaft 302 can drive the stirring blade 303 to rotate, thereby changing the angle of the stirring blade 303 and ensuring the stirring effect.

[0049] like Figure 8As shown, in this embodiment, the surface of the adjusting shaft 301 is threaded, and an adjusting sleeve 301b is fitted onto the surface of the adjusting shaft 301. The middle section of the adjusting sleeve 301b is provided with an internal thread. The adjusting sleeve 301b is threadedly connected to the adjusting shaft 301. When the adjusting sleeve 301b rotates, it can move relative to the length direction of the adjusting shaft 301. In this embodiment, during the movement of the adjusting sleeve 301b relative to the adjusting shaft 301, it is used to push the sliding shaft 302 to move relative to the adjusting shaft 301, thereby changing the length of the stirring assembly 300 and also changing the angle of the stirring blade 303 to ensure the effect.

[0050] Additionally, it is worth noting that in this embodiment, the sliding shaft 302 is sleeved on the adjusting shaft 301, and as shown... Figure 9 As shown, an annular cavity is formed between the sliding shaft 302 and the adjusting shaft 301. A spring 304 is installed in the annular cavity. When the adjusting sleeve 301b drives the sliding shaft 302 to move relative to the adjusting shaft 301, the annular cavity between the sliding shaft 302 and the adjusting shaft 301 shrinks, thereby compressing the spring 304. When the adjusting sleeve 301b stops moving, the sliding shaft 302 is fixed relative to the adjusting shaft 301 by the elastic force of the spring 304 and the resisting force of the adjusting sleeve 301b.

[0051] Additionally, it should be noted that in this embodiment, when the guide post in the sliding shaft 302 moves to the end of the spiral groove 301c, i.e., when the stirring assembly 300 is at its longest, the adjusting sleeve 301b covers the surface of the spiral groove 301c, preventing the spiral groove 301c from being exposed. Furthermore, in the initial state, when the guide post in the sliding shaft 302 is at the top of the spiral groove 301c, i.e., when the stirring assembly 300 is at its shortest, the sliding shaft 302 is fitted onto the surface of the spiral groove 301c, preventing the spiral groove 301c from being exposed. Since the adjusting sleeve 301b and the sliding shaft 302 are always in contact during the movement of the sliding shaft 302, the exposure of the spiral groove 301c is also prevented. Therefore, in this embodiment, the spiral groove 301c is not exposed during the length adjustment of the stirring assembly 300, thus preventing the material inside the housing 100 from entering the stirring assembly 300, ensuring both material utilization and a hygienic environment for the equipment.

[0052] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: Flour and water, etc., enter the housing 100 through the feed inlet 101. The drive component 103 drives the stirring shaft inside the housing 100 to rotate, thereby causing the stirring component 300 to stir the materials. After stirring is completed, the drive cylinder 203 drives the support plate 201 to rotate, thereby opening the discharge port 102, and the stirred materials are discharged from the discharge port 102. In order to ensure the stirring effect, when no materials are added, the sliding shaft 302 is moved by the adjusting sleeve 301b, thereby adjusting the length of the stirring component 300. The sliding shaft 302 rotates itself during the movement, thereby changing the angle of the stirring blade 303, further ensuring the stirring effect.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
